Gu Dai was momentarily startled, raising her head in a daze to look at Su Ting.
Su Ting let out a soft laugh and said warmly, “Daidai, I really admire your character. You wouldn’t cover up for someone just because of kinship.”
Under Su Ting’s praise, the tips of Gu Dai’s ears gradually turned red. “Aren’t you afraid…” she began hesitantly.
Su Ting didn’t need her to finish her sentence to know what she meant. He looked at her earnestly and replied, “I’m not afraid.”
As his words fell, he added with a smile, “Besides, Daidai, I couldn’t possibly do anything against the law. I want to be with you always. If I were in prison, I wouldn’t be able to see you.”
Gu Dai hadn’t expected such reasoning and turned her head aside with a light cough, saying seriously, “Then you must abide by the law.”
“Of course,” Su Ting responded with a smile.
The sound of police sirens had already begun outside the villa, and the officers walked in.
Upon seeing the police, Xu Huan’s heart trembled. She reluctantly thought about letting Su Shen go, but recalling his actions, she had to suppress her feelings.
She whispered with a lowered gaze, “Su Shen, make sure to reform yourself in there. Your brother and I will visit you often.”
Su Shen’s eyes reddened, and he hurriedly nodded, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Xu Huan’s tears flowed incessantly as she reached out to hug Su Shen tightly. “Su Shen, I can’t bear to part with you.”
Filled with regret, Su Shen thought back on his desire for revenge in the past, which led him to commit many wrongs and now prevented him from being with his family.
Gu Zhe’s gaze lingered on Su Shen for a long while before he sighed softly and looked away.
Turning to Gu Zhe with red eyes, Su Shen took a few steps forward and after a long silence, lowered his eyes and said softly, “Please take care of… Mom in the coming days.”
Gu Zhe nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, I will.”
Then, Su Shen said, “I apologize for having you locked up for three years. I know you hate me…and you should. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.”
Gu Zhe recalled the years of his imprisonment and the harm his family suffered, taking a deep breath.
He couldn’t lie and say he didn’t hate Su Shen, but…
Gu Zhe looked at Su Shen seriously. “Although I hate what you’ve done these years, you are still my brother. I’ve missed you all these years. So, while I hate you, I also love you.”
Su Shen looked up incredulously at Gu Zhe. “Really?”
Gu Zhe nodded gently. “Yes.”
Su Shen trembled slightly, trying to hold back his tears, but they wouldn’t obey, streaming down his face as he tried to speak, his voice failing him.
Gu Zhe, understanding what he was trying to say from the shape of his mouth.
He heard the silent, “Thank you…brother.”
Unable to hold back his tears any longer, Gu Zhe stepped forward and embraced Su Shen, blaming himself. “It’s all my fault. If I had found you earlier, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.”
Su Shen shook his head. “It’s my fault.”
When Su Ci entered, he saw Gu Zhe and Su Shen with tears in their eyes.
Upon seeing Su Ci, Su Shen’s gaze flickered away before he firmly approached him. “Su Ci.”
Hearing Su Shen call him, Su Ci’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained his composure and said indifferently, “If you need anything in prison, you can call me. I’m usually busy with work and won’t have much time to visit.”
Su Shen paused for a few seconds, then nodded silently, his face pale and weak.
“Su Ci, these past few days at the Gu family, I’ve reflected on my life’s mistakes. I realize now how much I’ve neglected you over the years. I was so caught up in my own sorrows and desire for revenge, yet I caused you the same pain.”
After saying this, he covered his face and m.u.f.fled, “I’m sorry, son. I’m sorry!”
As Su Shen spoke, a ripple stirred in Su Ci’s heart, which quickly settled back to calm. He responded lightly, “I know.”
Su Shen understood Su Ci’s unwillingness to forgive him, a flash of disappointment crossing his eyes, followed by a sense of relief. “I’m glad you made your own judgments, didn’t follow my advice to harm others, and didn’t fall into an abyss..”
