Gu Yibei, standing to the side, expressed that he could understand how heartbroken it was to have one's beloved treasure taken away by someone else. He patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder, speaking with the tone of someone who had been through it all.
"It's okay. Even if you're not the only one, you're definitely one of the two."
"..."
What if this hurts even more?
…………
In the early hours of the morning, Gu Yibei went downstairs to get some water and unexpectedly saw Eddie sitting at the bar, drinking alone.
Eddie, unusually, didn't go back to his villa number three today, but stayed at number one instead.
Gu Yibei raised an eyebrow, went downstairs and asked, "Why aren't you resting yet?"
Upon seeing Gu Yibei, Eddie sighed and took a sip of his drink: "I can't sleep. I'm thinking about Uncle and Nannan."
My father-in-law is currently in the US, and I'm not entirely sure how things are going with the Luo family.
Gu Yibei sat down next to him, and Eddie handed him a glass and poured him some wine.
The two clinked glasses.
It was rare to see his brother-in-law with such an expression, so Gu Yibei wanted to comfort him. But before he could even open his mouth, he heard Eddie muttering in utter frustration.
"Now that Luo Shi has arrived, am I still Nan Nan's favorite older brother? Will Nan Nan still be close to me in the future?"
Gu Yibei: "..."
“I’m your cousin, and we both share the surname Warrens. Luo Shi is just a cousin, so I’m closer to him.”
Gu Yibei: "..."
"Yes, that's right. Nan Nan is from the Warrens family, and she'll be living with us from now on. I'll see Nan Nan much more often than Luo Shi. And yes, I'm still Nan Nan's favorite older brother."
Gu Yibei quietly said, "Brother, Nannan will be living with me from now on."
"..."
It's rare to see my foreign brother-in-law acting so melancholy, and I was just about to offer him some comfort. Little did I know that the person he was melancholy about was none other than my wife's favorite brother.
You can't blame him. Now that a cousin who is equally handsome, rich, and doting on his sister has arrived, it's understandable that the brother-in-law feels a bit threatened.
Gu Yibei deeply felt the pressure of marrying a wife who was the apple of everyone's eye.
The father admires his wife, the mother dotes on her, and the father-in-law treats his daughter like his precious darling. The two older brothers compete to see who is more doting on his sister.
The only thing that might comfort him is that his wife has two fathers, two mothers, and two brothers, so he, as her husband, is unique and irreplaceable.
Yes, thinking like this makes me feel much better.
Gu Yibei could only console himself with this thought.
"Oh, right." Remembering something, Eddie looked at Gu Yibei: "How's that Luo Yan that Uncle asked you to investigate?"
Gu Yibei narrowed his eyes: "Bai Chuan has found clues, and final confirmation will be in the next few days."
"That's good." Eddie breathed a sigh of relief.
……………
Eddie felt a great sense of crisis after his little sister was stolen, and the next day he had his assistant send over catalogs of the latest models from various luxury brands.
"Nan Nan likes light-colored clothes, so we'll take all of these, and this one too, and this one..."
"This won't do, it's too ugly, it doesn't match my Nan Nan's looks at all."
I spent more than half an hour choosing, and only picked out a little over a hundred items.
The assistant quickly notified each brand to prepare inventory.
After settling his sister's clothes, Eddie got ready to get to work.
"Knock, knock, knock." A knocking sound.
Eddie opened the file: "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and the sound of high heels clicking on the floor could be heard.
Eddie initially mistook it for his secretary and didn't pay attention until he heard the voice.
"Hello, Mr. Eddie, my name is Liang Wanyin."
