Chapter 127: Only One Sister

Gu Wenyan rarely saw Gu Yeting looking so fragile.

Previously, the two were always out of sync, and every meeting was in a state of confrontation.

Even though Gu Wenyan also found Gu Yeting extremely annoying and often didn't even have a kind word for him, yet...

She had never imagined that Gu Yeting would have such a fragile appearance.

He seemed to have finally realized what kind of mistakes he had made and realized how ridiculous he had been.

And everything he had done was for the pleasure of hurting his own biological sister...

In the past, Gu Yeting did not care whether Gu Mianmian had a blood relationship with them, because in his eyes, Gu Mianmian was also a sister who had grown up with him since childhood.

It could be said that he watched Gu Mianmian grow up; he had not been absent for any stage of Gu Mianmian's life, and this kind of bond was very hard to ignore.

After all, one can be reluctant to part with a dog raised for so many years, let alone a person.

Furthermore, the contrast between Gu Wenyan and Gu Mianmian during the time Gu Wenyan had just returned to the Gu Family was very stark.

Gu Yeting felt even more that his adopted sister was more outstanding than Gu Wenyan and more worthy of staying in the Gu Family.

But I don't know from which day it started, but everything Gu Yeting had firmly believed in the past changed; the vulgar and reckless Gu Wenyan was actually not the personality he had thought.

Moreover, Gu Yeting also saw in Gu Wenyan's eyes a gentleness and tranquility he had not discovered before.

The bearing in Gu Wenyan's bones was not faked, which meant that from the very beginning, he had misjudged Gu Wenyan.

Gu Yeting used a biased gaze to look at her, so he felt that Gu Wenyan was not worthy of being his sister.

Now Gu Yeting realized how wrong his previous thoughts were, but having this realization at this time would only make him regret it all the more.

Because he knew clearly... some things could never be salvaged again.

"Even if I knew before that Mianmian had become different from what I imagined, I still refused to accept this result."

"The sunk cost you spent on Gu Mianmian is too high; when you discover that everything is different from your perception, you have no way to accept this fact."

Gu Wenyan said very calmly: "For you, it is very difficult to accept that all your past efforts have become meaningless."

She accurately and correctly stated Gu Yeting's thoughts; at this moment, Gu Yeting had exactly this thought.

Although Gu Yeting thought he did not have such thoughts, the fact was just like this, and he had no way to deny it.

Gu Wenyan sat down next to him and asked: "Is there any wine? Give me a glass."

"You're drinking?"

"I can't really sleep tonight anyway, so I'll keep you company for a drink. Looking at you like this... you're quite miserable."

Gu Wenyan smiled: "After all, even when I was misunderstood by you all back then, I never had this kind of emotion, and I had already accepted this fact long ago."

"Especially, the people who were deceived were never just you."

Gu Wenyan looked at the sky and sighed: "At first, I also trusted Gu Mianmian very much, and even handed everything over to her to do. I thought... after I returned home, I had found a friend I could trust."

"However, in the end..."

Gu Mianmian shook her head: "My life didn't turn out any better than yours."

The sunk cost of the deception they suffered was too high, and Gu Wenyan was the same.

During this time, Gu Wenyan had also been angry countless times, wondering why Gu Mianmian had led her around in circles.

Unfortunately, questioning the past no longer had any meaning, so Gu Wenyan accepted the past of being deceived by Gu Mianmian and did not waste time on her.

"Although the sunk cost is high, but... stopping in time is the best way; otherwise, if you continue to make mistakes, you will only pay an increasingly higher sunk cost."

"I understand."

"For you, you are very sad now, but after you accept it, you will find... everything is not as complicated as you think."

"Then tell me, why did Mianmian become like this? Is it really because of the reasons she said?"

"Whether it is or not, we don't know, because we are not Gu Mianmian, but you can think about it, why wouldn't others be like this?"

Gu Wenyan sneered: "Gu Mianmian already had everything, yet at this time she tells us how afraid she is that we will abandon her, that we will drive her away, when we clearly never did that. Could it be our fault?"

"Even if Gu Mianmian became like this, it has nothing to do with us; it is her own problem. I think no one needs to pay the price for all of this for her."

Gu Yeting laughed self-deprecatingly: "Yes, in the past, I always thought she was the sister I valued most and could trust the most, but the actual result made me discover... the things I did in the past were very ridiculous."

"She never once revealed her true face in front of me; perhaps I never truly recognized what she was like at all."

These words Gu Yeting said surprised Gu Wenyan; she didn't expect that in such a short time, she would be able to see Gu Yeting completely recognize Gu Mianmian's true face.

It was indeed quite surprising to her.

Gu Wenyan had thought that Gu Yeting would definitely be the last person to discover the anomaly; even if Gu Mianmian had already exposed all her flaws, he would still brainwash himself, thinking that Gu Mianmian was not wrong and that she was innocent and aggrieved.

As it turned out, because of this unexpected behavior today, Gu Yeting was finally willing to recognize reality.

"Don't wallow in self-pity, because it's useless. You might as well talk about what you want to do next?"

Gu Wenyan had no time to waste on comforting Gu Yeting; she only needed to know what method Gu Yeting would use when facing Gu Mianmian next.

"Having treated her as a sister for so many years, although I now discover she is not the person I knew in the past... but if you want me to give her up immediately, I can't do that either."

Gu Yeting said: "I will try one last effort. If I still have no way to change her... in the future, I will only have you as a sister."

After speaking, Gu Yeting stood up, looked at Gu Wenyan, and apologized: "For everything done in the past, I know you won't easily forgive me, and I don't ask for your forgiveness, but in the future, I hope one day you can know that I was not lying, nor was I deceiving you."

Gu Yeting left after speaking, and Gu Wenyan was in no hurry to leave, continuing to enjoy the moon in the courtyard.

The moonlight tonight was quite nice.

Gu Mianmian... you only have one last chance left. The brother who trusted you the most in this family is about to abandon you. How are you going to deal with this next?

The next day, the parents both learned the news that Gu Wenyan had won an award at the Huahui Bolanhui, and they were all very happy.

Gu Jue, who was always stern, also revealed a rare smile: "Not bad, keep working hard. You have brought glory to our Gu Family this time."
