Even when Grandpa Gu passed away, he only made a brief appearance, coming and going in a hurry.
"Just as I was about to leave work, Gu Xiangdong came to see me and said that Gu Bei had died of a serious illness in prison. He had been indulging in wine and women since he was young, and his body had long been ruined."
Prison isn't a place for pampered rich kids. He's completely useless; you can imagine how he fared there.
Gu Ye didn't sympathize with Gu Bei. He was born with certain advantages over others. He had no shortage of money or food, but if he didn't choose the right path, there was nothing anyone could do.
"What does Gu Xiangdong want with you? Gu Bei is dead, and it wasn't us who did it."
Bonnie didn't understand; they and Gu Xiangdong were already strangers.
“He wanted me to help with Gu Bei’s funeral. I told him that, not to mention Gu Bei, even if Gu Xiangdong himself died one day, I would not attend the funeral. He thinks that time can heal all wounds, but I can’t.”
Gu Ye felt much better when he thought about Gu Xiangdong's shocked expression at the time.
"He's being too presumptuous. How could he even think of holding a funeral for Gu Bei?"
“He’s never been very bright and was spoiled by his mother. If it weren’t for the organization’s introduction, my mother would never have chosen Gu Xiangdong.”
Gu Ye always felt sorry for her mother. Her older brother said that given her background at the time, the Gu family was the best choice for her.
"How old is Gu Bei? Is he thirty? His son looks to me to be about ten years old."
"He was under thirty, maybe twenty-eight or twenty-nine. I remember he was still a minor when he got married, and his child was about ten years old."
Gu Ye couldn't remember either; Gu Bei's life was practically a cautionary tale.
"Where's Gu Bei's wife? I haven't seen her in the compound for a long time."
"I don't know. I think she was involved in one of the dancing or something, but I don't know what happened after that."
Gu Ye felt that the two of them were a perfect match. They were both carefree and didn't care about anything else, only about living a carefree life.
The most pitiful one is that child. With parents like that, the road ahead will be much harder.
But that has nothing to do with them. If he hadn't killed Gu Xiangdong and Xu Fang with one blow back then, he wouldn't have had the chance to take revenge himself.
Gu Ye felt that watching the people and things they cherished most leave them one by one might be better than ending their lives with a single blow.
Death brings liberation and ends all sins; some sins are better redeemed while alive.
