Gu Yuanli scoffed. “Thief as a father? The thief you are calling had given Sixth Brother and me so much love and freedom. He educated us well to become such independent and firm men. He sent us to the best schools and sent us abroad to develop ourselves. Now, I am very healthy. I graduated from an Ivy League; I have two doctorate degrees and a successful career. Sixth Brother is now a ‘god’ to the nation. He has no worries and troubles. His life is fulfilling and prosperous. This is who you are calling a ‘thief’. In comparison to all of my family members, what have they done from young?
“When I was younger, Sixth Brother was still very small. The people from the Yang Family never acknowledged our existence. They felt that our father was from the triads, and that was a disgrace for all of you. They were afraid that it would affect Grandpa’s career and the fate of everyone in the Yang Family. They were afraid that our dirty blood would pollute the highly pure and exquisite blood flowing in the Yang Family. So, the Yang Family abandoned us. It was Pa who raised us up.
“It was only until I returned with two doctorate degrees from America when I was 22 years old and took over Ghost City did the Yang Family finally feel that I was of worth. They began coming close to me and trying all sorts of ways to get Ghost City from me. They coerced and tempted me; it was a battle for our relationship. You guys were trying to make me betray Ghost City so that you guys would benefit. Do you think I’m a fool? Did they think that I could not identify who my family was and who my enemies were?
“Do you know why I did not tell you who our younger brother was all this while? I was afraid that you would cause disturbance for him. He was a carefree Movie King who did not bother about anything. He never asked for anything in his life, and I do not wish for him to be involved in all these matters between us either.
“So I’m warning all of you. The Yang Family is not allowed to see him. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”
Jing Yun was scared of hearing all of this. She had never known about the secret of the Yang Family. At this moment, she wished she could disappear. She had never heard of all of these secrets. Gu Yuanli took a quick glance at her, but he did not even take her seriously.
It was as if someone had torn Yang Po’s face out and trampled all over it. She felt so disgraced.
Yang Po retorted. “He was the one who killed your father back then. Your mother returned home to share the news and midway through, yet he killed her. You are the only one who believed him. We did not know you guys back then, and we wanted Gu Chun to look after you. We wanted you to grow up by his side, and then we would tell you about the truth slowly. We wanted you to pretend to be on good terms with him but hate him deep down, and then go against him and avenge your parents. We went through so much, yet you don’t know how to appreciate it. Have you forgotten what your mother used to tell you?”
“I don’t have a mother!” Gu Yuanli looked really unhappy. “I only have a father and my brothers!”
Gu Yuanli seemed to be in great agony just by speaking to him. He pulled up his sleeves and walked away.
Back at the Gu Manor.
“Where’s Pa?”
Ah Xi was still in the manor, but Second Old Master Gu was not.
“Second Master has gone to the hospital to visit the Sixth Master.”
Gu Yuanli nodded. “You didn’t go with him?”
Ah Xi said, “Second Old Master Gu said that if you are looking for him, you have to wait for a while. He will have lunch with you.”
“Understood.”
Gu Yuanli went upstairs. “I’m going to visit my Mom.”
Ah Xi smiled and nodded as he watched Gu Yuanli go upstairs.
Fang Hongxiu’s eyebrows were getting lighter. Every morning, Second Old Master Gu would draw her eyebrows meticulously. Today, he drew eyebrows that made her look very youthful. It looked lively, and Gu Yuanli sat beside her for a really long time. “Mom, forgive me.”
He seemed to be in pain. He grabbed Fang Hongxiu’s hand and put it beside his lips. His eyes were red. “I didn’t do that on purpose.”
Mom, forgive me!
