After informing the Gu family's daughters, Sister-in-law Gu returned to Bao Ni's house, where the two cooked together.
Unexpectedly, Gu Lan and the others arrived quite quickly; Bao Ni and the others had just put down their chopsticks when they arrived.
"Mom, they've arrived,"
Sanqi heard the knocking and got up to open the door.
"Well, they came pretty quickly."
Bonnie and Sister-in-law Gu tidied up the table together, and Xuanyi also helped.
"Alright, you guys go take a look, leave this to us."
Bao Ni's mother told them to hurry over, regardless of how they got along before, they had to save face at this moment.
"Sister-in-law, let's go."
Bonnie beckoned her sister-in-law to go to the living room and quickly settle this matter, as there was really no need for them to meet again.
"Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law!"
Gu Lan, Gu Mei, and Gu Xi saw their sister-in-law and the others coming over and stood up to greet them.
"Please sit down."
"Sister-in-law, what happened? My dad, how could he suddenly be gone?"
Gu Mei was still a little dazed when she heard the news. Since returning to the city, she had been living in a daze. In the past few years, she had set up a street stall like others and earned some money, which made her life a little better.
Gu Lan and Gu Xi also looked at Gu Dasao and the others with hopeful expressions, as they were still somewhat afraid of Lin Baoni.
"The specific reason is still unknown. The current situation is that Gu Xiangdong has been murdered, and the suspected murderer is Xu Fang."
Bonnie was very direct; she didn't care about such things. While Sister-in-law Gu might agonize over how to address Gu Xiangdong, she didn't have that concern.
Gu Mei opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she said nothing, afraid that Lin Baoni would beat her up.
"Sister-in-law, my dad is gone, where's my mom?"
Although Gu Xi felt that her parents were biased, she was ultimately a beneficiary. After all, she took over her mother's job and didn't have to go to the countryside; she now has a stable job.
"They've all gone to the police station and need to cooperate with the investigation."
Unlike Bao Ni, Sister-in-law Gu cannot say whatever she wants; she has many things to consider.
Gu Lan remained silent; she didn't know what to say.
She was raised by Xu Fang, but her biological mother's death was related to her father and Xu Fang, and she couldn't find her place in the family.
The room fell silent. The five people were at a loss for words until Gu Ye and the others returned.
"You're back. Have you eaten?"
When Bonnie saw Gu Ye and his older brother enter through the door, she quickly got up.
"I've already eaten. I ate at the police station's canteen."
Gu Ye ignored Gu Lan and the other two, took Bao Ni's hand, and sat down on the sofa. He was a little excited.
"Big brother?"
"Sit down and let's talk."
Gu Ze looked around, then sat down. This matter needed to be resolved.
"According to the forensic examination, Dad died from homicide, stabbed in the heart. The police also confirmed that it was Xu Fang who stabbed him. The reason was that Dad had found a lover behind her back, and she followed him, and in a fit of anger, stabbed him."
The police will return the body tomorrow. I plan to handle the funeral discreetly, given the unsavory nature of the incident. As for Xu Fang's sentence, that's up to the court. Gu Xi, go to the police station tomorrow; Xu Fang wants to see you.
Despite his discomfort, Brother Gu briefly explained the situation: everything will be over tomorrow.
"Gu Ze, Gu Ze, what happened to your dad?"
When Uncle Gu received the news, he couldn't leave because he was looking after the children.
"Big brother, uncle?"
"Third Uncle, Gu Wei, please sit down. I just finished talking to Gu Lan and the others. Here's what happened..."
Gu Ze repeated himself, secretly glaring at Gu Ye. He really had no brotherly affection for Gu Ye.
"What are your plans for the afterlife? Where will your father be buried? Xu Fang killed him, so they can't be buried together. How about we bury your parents together?"
"dad!"
"No, Gu Xiangdong doesn't deserve it. He's a selfish and self-serving person who did things that defied all reason while he was alive, and now that he's dead, he still wants to lie next to my mother. What a pipe dream he's having."
Why bother with a funeral? Just spend some money to cremate him, and discard the ashes to avoid trouble. No descendants will come to pay their respects to him in the future. We are all Xu Ning's children and grandchildren, and have nothing to do with Gu Xiangdong.”
"Gu Ye, no matter what, he's still your father. Without him, you wouldn't exist. He's dead, can't you forgive him?"
Uncle Gu was so angry that his neck swelled up and his face turned red. His eldest brother had fathered six children in his life, but in the end, he was left with no one to pay his respects.
"No, why should we forgive him? As a husband, he betrayed his wife; as a father, all he provided was that one bloodline. Wanting something in return for nothing—that's no way."
Gu Xiangdong has been punished by heaven. I failed to kill him with one stab back then, and now, Xu Fang has stabbed him to death. Isn't this retribution? Xu Fang herself has a terminal illness and feels it's too lonely to go on her journey alone, so she needs to take someone with her. How wonderful, how well-matched they are."
Gu Ye hadn't been this excited in a long time. There was a wild beast inside him, and because of Gu Xiangdong's situation, it was about to break free of its cage.
"Gu Ye, I have a headache. I don't know if it's because I've been working too hard and getting cold today."
Bonnie took Gu Ye's hand and tried to calm him down.
"Headache, do you have a fever?"
Gu Ye's bloodshot eyes cleared, and he touched Bonnie's forehead; it did seem a little hot.
"Come on, let's go inside. I'll take your temperature. We have some ginger at home, I'll boil some ginger water for you to soak your feet in, and you'll sweat it out."
Gu Ye no longer cared about what was going on here. He didn't care whether Gu Xiangdong was dead or alive. Anyway, he had been examined by the forensic doctor!
Gu Ze breathed a sigh of relief; it had been so long since he had seen Gu Ye with such a crazed look in his eyes.
"Third Uncle, I can understand your deep brotherly bond, so please understand us too."
