Chapter 943: Showing Love And Respect As Good Brothers Should
Gu Yuanli was exhausted as he returned back to the Gu Manor.
Gu Xie was waiting for him at the entrance of his little villa. Recently, the relationship between the father and brothers of the Gu Family had become warmer. Everyone was used to going home. When Gu Xie saw him, he went forward. “Second Brother, where have you been? Why didn’t you bring anyone?”
“I went to the port to relieve my boredom,” Gu Yuanli said. He patted Gu Xie’s shoulders. “Go back and rest.”
He went inside. Gu Xie thought for a while and followed him in. He spoke and stopped again.
Gu Yuanli asked, “What’s up?”
“Second Brother, are you hiding something from me?”
“I’m not hiding anything from you,” Gu Yuanli said. “Recently, you have come back to the Gu Manor more frequently. If there’s nothing, why did you interfere in Ghost City’s matter?”
“You don’t like me to interfere?”
“It’s not that. Didn’t you use to dislike this?”
Gu Xie’s ambition was acting and to be an artist. He did not bother about the Ghost City’s affairs all along. He just wanted to be as unworldly as the floating clouds. Gu Yuanli had always wished that Gu Xie could do his own things freely.
To fulfill his dreams and fly freely.
As an elder brother, he would shoulder all the burden, all the weight, and all the sins.
He only needed to live happily.
This was sufficient.
This was the reason why he did not want Gu Xie to have anything to do with the Yang Family and the Black Rose. It was also fortunate that Gu Xie started acting since young and was not in Ghost City. The Black Rose also would not place her target on Gu Xie, which made him feel more at ease.
“Fifth Brother has social anxiety. Fourth Brother and you cannot cope. Whatever I can help to handle, I will try my best to help to handle,” Gu Xie said. “I have all along been too selfish. I only cared about myself, and I did not see your hard work.”
“It’s not necessary. I can handle it,” Gu Xie said coldly. “You just do whatever you want to do.”
His attitude had always been cold.
There was much hostility between the brothers, which was triggered by the coldness between them.
For many years, Gu Xie hated Gu Yuanli’s attitude the most. He was always like this—making casual remarks and saying that he did not want him to worry about anything. He also thought that Gu Yuanli did not like him to come to Ghost City to take away his authority. He thought that Gu Yuanli was a person who had a lot of desire for power.
Hence, there was disgust in his heart.
He was now standing at another angle, but he saw something different.
“This is what I want to do,” Gu Xie said. “I want to help you to share some of the burden. Second Brother, I’m sorry.”
Gu Yuanli was startled and felt somewhat distracted. His brother’s attitude was so soft. How many years had he not seen it?
“I know,” Gu Yuanli said. “You… forget it. You go and date. The matters of the Ghost City are really not suitable for you. If your girlfriend knows that your hands are smudged dirty, I’m afraid she will abandon you.”
“Then how about you?” Gu Xie asked. “Aren’t you worried about the future second sister-in-law knowing that you got your hands dirty?”
Gu Yuanli’s mind had the image of Shen Qianshu smiling with her bright eyes brushing past.
His heart ached fiercely.
What right did he have, and what future was there for him?
He was someone with no future.
“I… it doesn’t matter.” Gu Yuanli ended the topic on his side. “Go, I’m tired. I want to rest.”
“Goodnight Second Brother.” Gu Xie also did not say anything more. He left the little villa.
Rose Castle.
Shen Qianshu crouched in front of Noah upstairs. She smiled as she said, “Noah, they have left. Don’t be angry. Stay calm, stay calm. I assure you that I will not leave your line of sight. Alright?”
Noah looked at her furiously like a fierce beast showing its claws. “Liar!”
