Chapter 612: How Can We Repay You

Translator: _Min_ |

Su Ci had been voicing his concern for Su Ting repeatedly, and only after learning that he had indeed been doing well recently did he finally feel completely reassured. He then earnestly advised, “If there’s anything, you can always come to me. You’re my brother, we’re not strangers; you don’t have to be polite with me.”

Su Ting’s pupils dilated. “I’m your brother?”

“Of course,” Su Ci affirmed resolutely.

As soon as he finished speaking, he asked, “Don’t you want to acknowledge me as your brother anymore?”

Su Ting hurriedly denied, “Of course not, it’s just that I found your biological brother, so I was afraid…”

Su Ci’s voice was gentle yet firm, “Su Ting, the brother I recognize is only you. Even if others are related to me by blood, I won’t accept them.”

Su Ting was stunned, then quickly responded, “I only have you as a brother too!”

Su Ci acknowledged this, then asked, “What’s this about a biological brother you just mentioned?”

Realizing that Su Ci was unaware of the situation with Fu Jing and Su Shen, Su Ting quickly filled him in.

After listening, Su Ci was silent for a moment before sighing softly, “I see.”

Su Ting pursed his lips, gently consoling, “Brother, don’t be sad.”

Su Ci chuckled, “I’m not sad. I’ve long known what kind of person father is; I wouldn’t be saddened because of him. I’m just a bit sentimental after hearing about it.”

He then asked, “Do you know how father is doing in prison?”

Su Ting replied, “I visited him yesterday. He said he misses you a lot and has truly realized his mistakes, hoping for the day you can forgive him.”

“Forgive him…” Su Ci mused, then after a long silence, he said softly, “If you ever see him again, tell him it’s impossible for me to forgive him.”

Su Ting replied with deep emotion, “Alright.”

Feeling the heaviness of the topic, Su Ting changed the subject, “Brother, how is life on the island? Are you managing well?”

Su Ci spoke softly, “I’m doing very well here. Watching the sea every day relaxes me a lot, and I’m quite at peace, so don’t worry about me.”

Still concerned, Su Ting continued to express his care until he was certain that Su Ci was indeed doing well, which finally eased his worried mind.

After Su Ting hung up the phone, Gu Dai looked up from her documents and asked softly, “How was your chat?”

Su Ting smiled and responded, “Very good. Brother really hasn’t grown distant, he still treats me like a brother deep down.”

Seeing the genuine smile on Su Ting’s face, not the forced one from earlier, Gu Dai also smiled, “I’m glad you’re happy.”

She then advised, “If you’re ever unhappy, tell me; don’t just bear it alone. I like seeing your truly happy expression.”

Su Ting reflected on his own pretense and realized how pointless it was. He smiled and nodded, “Okay!”

Gu Dai had arranged for a renowned international doctor to perform surgery on Yang Ming’s mother, which was successfully completed.

Upon hearing the outcome, Yang Ming’s eyes welled up with tears. He looked at Gu Dai excitedly and said, “Thank you, Chairwoman Gu. If it weren’t for you, my mother’s surgery wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.”

After his initial joy, he felt a bit lost, “Chairwoman Gu, I don’t know how I can ever repay your great kindness.”

Fu Jing and Fu Chuan, hearing Yang Ming’s words, felt the same way, “Yes, how can we ever repay you?”

“You just need to abide by the law and lead positive lives,” Gu Dai responded, “That would be the best thanks.”

The three were taken aback, “Is that really all?”

Gu Dai laughed lightly and asked, “So, can you do that?”

They responded eagerly, affirming, “We can do that!”

Still incredulous, they couldn’t help but ask again, “Really, there’s nothing else we need to do?”

Gu Dai shook her head, then said, “Auntie Yang still needs care. Why don’t you go see her?”

Yang Ming quickly agreed, “I’ll go right now!” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Fu Chuan followed closely behind Yang Ming to the hospital room.

Fu Jing, fidgeting with the hem of her clothing, occasionally lifted her gaze towards Gu Dai.

Noticing the eyes on her, Gu Dai turned to meet Fu Jing’s look and asked directly, “Is there something on your mind?”
