"Yes, we won't have any more. Two is enough. They'll have each other's company. If we have more, we won't be able to take care of them all."
Chen Lili never expected to have a second child. Before, her relationship with Gu Wei was more like living together as a couple, and she never thought about having a second child.
Now, he is willing to improve their relationship and has no plans to divorce. He also wants to have another child so that the two children can have a companion, which would be good.
"Sister-in-law, have you heard about Gu Bei's situation?"
Gu Wei brought up the topic, and Bonnie really didn't know the specifics.
"People in the compound have been talking about it every day for the past few days, and there are so many versions of it. I don't know which one is true."
Bonnie wasn't really interested, but it was still nice to listen to as a story.
“I went to inquire about it. My uncle asked me to do it. I have a comrade-in-arms who is in charge of this matter.”
They received a tip that people were engaging in illicit sexual relations. When the police arrived, there were more than ten people in the room, men and women, and the scene was quite indecent.
Most of them were children of high-ranking officials, some of whom were idle and irresponsible.
They had nothing better to do than eat, drink, and have fun, always looking for thrills. This time they're in trouble because two of the girls weren't there voluntarily; their families reported it to the police.
The ringleaders are probably in for a rough time; they not only detained the girl but also harmed her. The rest of the gang, who didn't participate in the kidnapping or touch the two women, will likely receive lighter sentences.

Gu Wei told him what he knew, and he didn't know what to say.
Gu Bei, a cowardly and addicted man, has lived for over twenty years without ever doing anything worthwhile.
“I’m not particularly interested in his affairs, but it was all over the news before, and now I know the truth. Gu Bei, if he stays in there for a few years, maybe he can be saved when he comes out, otherwise…”
Bonnie thought about the crackdown a few years later, and realized he could easily ruin himself.
The topic was not pursued further. Gu Wei said that he would be able to stay in the military in Beijing after the training was completed, but he had not yet been notified of the specific details.
Bonnie was happy for them; it's always better for the family to be together.
After staying a while longer, they left because they needed to visit Uncle Gu's house.
Bonnie was also quite emotional, wondering if Xu Fang would regret her choice if she knew her beloved son had become a prisoner.
