Chapter 1187 is about hardship, but also about growth.
Gu Chen's gaze fell on Ruan Ruan, his eyes filled with unwavering support for whatever decision she made.
Su Ruanruan said calmly, "Let him come out."
After all, they've been siblings for over ten years.
When Gu Heng was brought out, Han Ye raised his pockmarked, mangled face to look at Gu Heng. His eyes were devoid of emotion, yet they gave off a cold and sinister feeling, like a snake.
Gu Heng came out and was immediately taken into another room.
Su Ruanruan followed her inside.
Gu Heng looked down at Su Ruanruan, a bright smile playing on his lips. "Little sister."
Su Ruanruan's face was expressionless, but she didn't object to Gu Heng's way of addressing her.
She sat down opposite him.
Gu Heng looked at her and continued, "For the past ten years or so, you have always been my sister alone."
I thought we would continue like this forever.
When Father wanted to send you back to deal with the Su family and Gu Chen, I objected.
Because I know that if you come back, there will be too many uncontrollable factors, and I may lose you.
However, my father's obsession ran too deep. He felt that if we took action ourselves, it would be easy to completely destroy the Su family and Gu Chen.
He didn't want them to die too easily.
"To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit; you are the knife that can sever their spirit."
Gu Heng looked at Su Ruanruan with a calm gaze, as if he were telling a story that had nothing to do with them.
"Father's original plan was to restore your memories after you destroyed the Su family and Gu Chen, so that you would live in regret for the rest of your life."
Upon hearing this, Su Ruanruan looked at Gu Heng with her obsidian-like eyes.
So in the life before she traveled back in time, after her brothers and all her relatives died tragically, she discovered that she herself was also controlled by Han Ye.
"Actually, I've already thought it through. After the Su family and Gu Chen's matter is over, I will stop Father from restoring your memories and then take you away."
Let's go somewhere where nobody knows us, rent a piece of land, and start a farm, just like you did in Qingquan Village. My brother and I will depend on each other for survival.
Gu Heng spoke to himself.
Su Ruanruan listened quietly. These things no longer stirred her emotions, because they would never happen again.
May her brothers, cousins, and Brother Gu Chen, and all the people she loves and who love her, live well.
Gu Heng smiled wryly, shook his head slightly, and said, "I was conceived in my mother's womb three hours later than Gu Chen, and I came into this world from the same person's womb only one hour later than him."
Who could have imagined that our fates would be so drastically different?
Su Ruanruan originally wanted to tell Gu Heng that Gu Chen had also had a tough time these past few years.
But she didn't say it aloud: hardship and suffering are not the same thing.
If she were to say to Gu Heng that Gu Chen was not having an easy time, it would undoubtedly be a provocation to Gu Heng.
Although in her view, Gu Heng actually had the right to choose when he left the Gu family, and could choose what kind of life he wanted to live, it was his own choice to take this path.
Gu Chen had no choice at all.
But it's pointless to talk about these things now.
Having been siblings for over ten years, she wanted to leave each other with a last bit of warmth; it would be too ugly if everything were exposed.
Gu Heng gave another bitter smile.
Immediately, he reached into his neck and pulled out a jade pendant.
He pulled off the jade pendant and handed it to Su Ruanruan, saying, "Sister, I don't have anything else."
This is a jade pendant I took from the Gu family's old residence.
This jade pendant has nothing to do with any treasure map; it contains a Gu, the mother Gu used by the Gu clan chief to control his clansmen.
"I'm giving it to you now. Whether you use it for research or destroy it completely is up to you."
Su Ruanruan accepted the jade pendant.
Gu Heng's expression softened slightly, and he smiled, "When you and Gu Chen get married in the future, your brother won't be able to attend in person. Remember to pour your brother a glass of wine."
At this moment, the lingering gloom on Gu Heng's face seemed to vanish, leaving only a calm expression.
"You can go out now, I'd like to sit here for a while longer."
After Su Ruanruan stood up, she looked into Gu Heng's eyes and said sincerely, "Brother, thank you."
The care they gave me all those years.
The more than ten years she spent in the training camp were brought to her by Gu Heng; it was hardship.
But from another perspective, it was also a form of growth for her.
Moreover, Gu Heng did indeed protect her secretly during those years; otherwise, her life would have been even more difficult.
Gu Heng smiled and waved slightly at her, signaling her to leave.
