"Sanbao, you go back too, take your sister back with you!"
Both the brother and sister were not suited to stay any longer. Gu Wu chose to speak this way in front of everyone, counting on the fact that business people wouldn’t dare to make too much of a scene.
Over the years, Sanbao had lived harmoniously with his sister and brother-in-law. The three of them understood each other very well, and he listened to Shunzi.
But faced with the aggressive Gu Wu, who should have died years ago, he just couldn’t swallow this anger.
Young as he was, he had witnessed his mother’s death firsthand; he still couldn’t forget it. Yet here he was, facing the man who killed his uncle and aunt, drove his grandfather to death, and forced his mother to her end. Was this the father he had always respected?
What was he supposed to do?
He didn’t listen to Shunzi and take his sister back. Instead, he gritted his teeth and said coldly, "What do you want to do now?"
The onlookers watched these few people with great curiosity, thinking it was a reunion but feeling that there was sothing strange about the atmosphere between them.
From the old man’s words, it was clear he had been separated from his children for many years; it was hard for them to finally et.
But from Erya and Gu Sanbao’s deanor, it seed that the truth was not simple. Facing their long-lost father, why did they seem so hostile?
In any case, they were not happy, nor did they show any intention of family recognition.
"Oh dear, you guys go back quickly!" Shunzi was incredibly anxious.
Gu Wu’s face darkened and he said, "Shunzi, what do you an by this? What? Don’t you recognize ? Back then, when you and Erya wanted to get married, I was opposed to it. Yes, at that ti our family was better off than yours, and I looked down on you. That was my fault. But so many years have passed, you’ve had two children with Erya. Shouldn’t you call father-in-law by now?"
Shunzi was left speechless.
He thought to himself: Gu Wu really ca prepared, even knowing all about their situation.
Gu Wu continued, "I have been separated from my son and daughter for many years without seeing them. Today, we are going to reunite in front of everyone in the neighborhood. So why are you trying to push my son and daughter indoors?"
Soone in the crowd said, "Yeah, Shunzi, is this really your father-in-law? It sounds like it. You haven’t denied it, so why not invite him in?"
"That’s right, Erya and Sanbao, how could you act like this towards your father?"
Seeing the crowd siding with Gu Wu, Shunzi grew more anxious.
The siblings were indeed in a predicant now. If they went back, it wasn’t right, but not going back wasn’t right either. They might end up having to invite him in!
Gu Youyou stood by the glass window watching and felt a sense of anxiety for them.
Miss Du whispered, "Filial piety is the foremost of virtues. The Gu siblings really aren’t doing the right thing."
However, at this mont, Gu Wu took the role of peacemaker and explained to everyone, "You all might not know, but do you rember when the south flooded a few years ago?"
"Yes, I rember. I heard that’s when Erya and Sanbao ca to Beijing to seek refuge with relatives."
"Ah! During that ti, the flood separated from them. I’ve spent these years looking for them everywhere, and it was only a few days ago that I found their whereabouts, so I hurried to find them. After not seeing each other for so many years, they might have thought I was already dead, and seeing suddenly, they’re a bit unused to it. Everyone, please don’t mind, don’t bla them—Erya and Sanbao have always been very filial to their parents since childhood; they’re good kids!"
Gu Wu’s words increasingly led everyone to feel that Erya and her brother from Fish Manor were truly in the wrong.
