Chapter 996: Chapter 995 Still Good Brothers

“””

After He Shaohuai returned, Gu Shaoting and He Ming both received the news immediately.

So, He Ming added the three of them to a WeChat group, which made communication more convenient.

That day, just after finishing work, Gu Shaoting was about to go home when He Ming sent a message in the group saying to celebrate He Shaohuai’s return with a drink at Shengshi tonight.

There was really no way to refuse such an invitation.

Gu Shaoting still went home first to inform Shu Pan before heading out.

The expression on Shu Pan’s face was indifferent, and she didn’t make a sound.

Gu Shaoting truly felt a deep sense of powerlessness, he actually wished that Shu Pan would make a scene. After that, they could be like before, rather than how things were now, where everything was treated with indifference. He was really becoming more and more clueless about her.

By the time Gu Shaoting arrived at Shengshi, He Ming and He Shaohuai had already gotten there and were discussing the popular soccer games at the moment.

When Gu Shaoting saw Shaohuai, they hugged each other silently, and Gu Shaoting even patted He Shaohuai on the shoulder.

All was said in silence between them.

“Come on, a toast for the three of us brothers, still good brothers,” said He Ming.

“Yeah, cheers,” they all drank up in one gulp.

“Thanks, I didn’t expect that we’d still have the chance to sit together and drink,” said He Shaohuai with emotion.

“Yeah, so, do you have any plans now that you’re back?” asked Gu Shaoting.

“Not sure yet, I’m just going to rest for a while,” He Shaohuai didn’t want to recall those unhappy things from the past anymore.

“That’s fine, how about coming back to Gu Group? It’s really a time when we are short of people,” Gu Shaoting felt that with Shaohuai’s help, it would definitely be a significant boost.

“Yeah, I’ll take some rest, then I’ll give you an answer,” He Shaohuai still felt embarrassed. He had left so resolutely before, and now to come back sheepishly, it was fortunate they were good brothers. If it had been anyone else, they would’ve kicked him while he was down.

“Okay, Gu Group will welcome you anytime,” Gu Shaoting wasn’t insistent and didn’t want to press him, especially since he had only just returned and had a lot to adapt to.

None dared to ask him what had happened with that woman.

After all, everyone has a past they’d rather forget.

It wasn’t right to reopen someone else’s healing wounds.

However, He Shaohuai brought up the incident himself.

He took a sip of his drink, then said with self-mockery, “I should have listened to you guys back then; it wouldn’t have come to this.”

“At first, it was all good because of the money to burn. Every day was about shopping and indulgence. I was blinded, thinking that being with her was thrilling and passionate, probably because I’d been repressed for too long. Only later did I realize I had bumped into evil. The first year was still fine when the days were carefree, but then she grew tired of it, often went out, and didn’t come home at night. In the end, I found out she had divorced and even had a daughter.”

He Shaohuai’s voice choked up at this point. He took another sip of his drink and continued, “And then it was constant fighting, and then she left without hesitation with someone else. I was freed but my pride wouldn’t allow me to admit failure. So I continued to struggle abroad for another two years. I really missed you guys, and eventually came back with my tail between my legs. Isn’t that ridiculous?”

As He Shaohuai spoke, his eyes became red. He clenched his lips, looking somewhat disheveled.

Shaohuai, let bygones be bygones, don’t think about the past anymore. You should look to the future, things will definitely get better for you,” comforted He Ming.

So that’s what had happened—it was truly a cause for sighs.
