Chapter 94 Love comfirmed
Gu Decheng’s expression eased a bit after seeing his idol being so polite.
After the three of them sat down, they chatted briefly for a few words. Gu Ye and Yu Ze still hadn’t come yet, so Old Master Yu said directly, “Let’s not wait for them. Let’s eat first and try the wine I brought. This is the ‘Nü Er Hong’* that was buried when my third daughter was born. There are two jars in total. She dug it out and drank one jar when she got married. We will drink this remaining jar tonight.”
[Banana: It’s a type of yellow wine a father makes when a daughter is born into the family. The wine will then be buried and fermented until the day the daughter gets married]
Gu Decheng also likes to drink, but his alcohol tolerance is average. This Nü Er Hong wine has a special meaning and Old Master Yu pours it to him so he will drink. Mrs. Gu had a bad feeling in her heart. Their Old Gu only drinks half a catty1 but this jar weighs 5 catties2!
After 2 drinks, Old Master Yu asked with a smile, “This brother, I want to discuss something with you. What do you think of my Yu Ze?”
Gu Decheng answered matter-of-factly, “Well, among the younger generation in the business world, Yu Ze is the most courageous and skillful one I have ever seen. Very good.”
“Since you think he is good, I now dare to say it. This is the situation. I like your Gu Ye. Can you give me half of him (figuratively) and let him be my son? I will give you half of Yu Ze and make him your son. How about it?”
At this moment, Gu Decheng is still conscious. He smiled and said, “If just being a son and the child has no objection, I have no problem.”
“That’s great!” Old Yu raised his glass happily, “For gaining another son, cheers!”
Old Master Yu is over 70 years old and he drank it in one gulp. Gu Decheng could only ‘sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman’ and drink with him.
The more Old Master Yu drank, the more guiltier he felt. After a few drinks, he apologized to Gu Decheng, “We, the Yu family, owe Gu Ye. To be honest with you, the child has long been Yu Ze’s.”
Gu Decheng was stunned for a moment and then realized what was going on. He didn’t know whether he was drunk or angry. His face was red. He gritted his teeth and said, “When?”
Old Master Yu apologized, “It was when he saved my grandson. Not only did he save my grandson, he also saved my son.”
Gu Decheng was so angry that his hand holding the wine glass kept shaking. Old Master Yu apologized, “I’ll drink this one first!”
Gu Decheng didn’t need to be persuaded now. He started drinking out of anger.
Mrs. Gu was anxious. At first, she could poke Gu Decheng under the table to remind him to drink less, but now she knew she couldn’t persuade him. He was about to fill the glass again.
Old Master Yu said earnestly, “I’ve thought about it. I’ll send Yu Ze to the Gu family. Don’t dislike him.”
Mrs. Gu was afraid that her husband would agree in anger, so she took over the topic, “You only have one son, we can’t have him.”
“Does Sister-in-law dislike him for not being able to have children?”
“How can that be? Yu Ze is so outstanding. But my Gu Ye…”
“Two young men, there’s no saying who will marry who3. Just let him stay with you.” Old Master Yu seemed to be a little drunk. Without waiting for Mrs. Gu to refuse, he took Gu Decheng’s hand and said seriously, “You are younger than me. I will definitely die earlier than you. You can help watch over them for 2 more years.”
Gu Decheng suppressed his anger and said politely, “Don’t say that. It’s unlucky.”
“I’m telling the truth. Old Tang almost died a few years ago. At my age, I’ve stopped hanging on everything. So, in order to live 2 more years, drink!”
Gu Decheng could only continue drinking with Old Master Yu. He couldn’t help frowning. The wine was a bit strong and he felt a little dizzy.
Old Master Yu said seriously, “It doesn’t matter if they can’t get the marriage certificate. I will give the ancestral home to Gu Ye as a guarantee to him. If Yu Ze dares to bully him in the future, Yu Ze will not be able to return home! I promise that I love Gu Ye more than my own son. Don’t worry, as long as I am alive, no one can bully him!”
Mrs. Gu felt something was wrong when she heard this. Why did it seem like they had agreed to Old Master Yu’s arrangements? Even if she respected Gu Ye’s opinion, she had to be more reserved and not make their children take the initiative. “No, our Gu Ye can’t have your house.”
Old Yu was firm, “He can. I like this kid’s temperament. I understand that as long as Yu Ze is sincere to him, he will not leave.”
Gu Decheng was dizzy, but still kept a trace of rationality, “They can’t be together, and there is also the issue of heirs.”
Old Master Yu continued to pour wine, “I have thought it over. I have been so hung up on the matter of an heir for so long, but Yu Ze’s fate still shows that he won’t have an heir. This is destined by God. But I have a daughter, 4 grandsons, and a granddaughter. Whoever is suitable can inherit the Yu family. In-laws, you are not so upset, are you? You still have 3 sons! Do you look down on me for having few sons?”
Mrs. Gu was speechless. Why suddenly do they become in-laws?
Gu Decheng shook his head, his mind was a little behind, “No, I won’t4!”
Old Master Yu was happy, “Okay, the business talk is over, let’s chat about family matters. I want to hold an art exhibition. What do you think?”
“Very good.” Gu Decheng liked this.
“Drink for the success of the event!”
Gu Decheng was also happy and drank with Old Master Yu.
Mrs. Gu held her forehead with her hands in exhaustion. It was over. The two children hadn’t come yet but the fathers were already drunk.
…
Gu Ye looked at the time. They had agreed to have dinner at 6.30 pm. It was already past 7.00 pm, and Yu Ze still didn’t seem to plan to go out. “Didn’t you ask my dad to have dinner? Aren’t we going yet?”
Yu Ze smiled and said, “It was said at the beginning that my dad invited him to dinner. We are not in a hurry. Let them chat first.”
Gu Ye was worried, “They won’t quarrel, will they?”
Yu Ze said calmly, “No, at most they will drink a little.”
Gu Ye was even more worried, “My dad has high blood pressure and can’t drink too much.”
“I asked about his health. The number has dropped recently. It’s okay to drink more.”
“When did you… ask about it?” Yu Ze smiled and said nothing. Gu Ye was convinced, “You are so cunning!”
After waiting until after 9.00 pm, Yu Ze looked at the time, “It’s almost time, let’s go.”
After arriving there, Gu Ye found that his father was already drunk. He rolled up his sleeves and patted Old Master Yu’s shoulder with a proud look on his face, “Move, move him away. Move his household registration to the Yu family tomorrow. Don’t be polite to me. I have many sons. I have 4 sons!”
Old Master Yu slapped the table happily, “Okay, I’ll let Yu Ze do this tomorrow!”
Gu Ye frowned, not understanding what the two old men said, and asked his mother in confusion, “What are they talking about? How can they drink like this?”
Mrs. Gu looked like she had no desire to live, “Son, we can’t continue this talk anymore. Your father has talked you out of our household registration book. Take him away quickly.”
Gu Ye’s mouth twitched, and he looked at Yu Ze. Each of them supported their father, and Papa Gu was already staggering and couldn’t stand steadily. But Old Master Yu waved his hand and straightened his clothes. Then he started walking out by himself, and he could still walk in a straight line!
When they were leaving, Gu Sen and Gu Lin just stopped the car. They were worried and came to see their dad. When they found that their dad was drunk, they both had a bad feeling.
Yu Ze looked at Gu Ye worriedly, “I’ll go to your house later.”
Gu Ye shook his head, “No, even if you have a silver tongue, it won’t help if you can’t say anything at all.”
Gu Ye drove Yu Ze away, and the family took Gu Decheng home. Papa Gu sat on the sofa, his eyes wide open, expressionless.
Mrs. Gu was so angry, “He’s drunk like this, no matter how much we try to persuade him, he won’t stop talking. Look at you, stop talking so much when you’re drunk! You don’t talk much normally, but you can’t shut up when you drink!”
Then Mrs. Gu said to the children in despair, “Your father, he wants to give Old Third to Old Master Yu as his son and ask them to move Gu Ye to their household registration tomorrow. He’s not drunk, he’s crazy!”
“Hehe.” Gu Decheng suddenly laughed foolishly, still immersed in the illusion of drinking and chatting with his idol, and he was in a good mood.
Gu Ye held his forehead, Old Master Yu’s drinking capacity could beat three of his fathers.
Hearing that, Gu Sen and Gu Lin’s mouths twitched. Gu Sen was speechless and angry. Gu Lin squatted in front of his father, holding Papa Gu’s knees with both hands and laughed out in anger, “You are so generous to send your son away after drinking. Dad, don’t drink in the future, otherwise, my three brothers will be sent away by you one day.”
Gu Decheng slowly blinked his heavy eyelids and looked at Gu Lin, “Old Third, you are back.”
Gu Lin’s mouth twitched, and Gu Ye hurriedly said, “Dad, I’m here, I’m back.”
Gu Decheng looked at Gu Ye again, “Old Second is back?”
Mrs. Gu stamped her feet angrily, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone who can’t even tell his sons apart after drinking!”
“Old Third! Come!”
Gu Decheng finally recognized Gu Ye and pushed Gu Lin away. Calling Gu Ye out, Gu Decheng glared at him, and his eyes became more and more fierce.
Mrs. Gu noticed that Gu Decheng’s expression was not right, and hurriedly stopped him, “Don’t look for the child when you are drunk. Talk to him tomorrow when you sober up.”
“I’m sober!”
“You want to transfer his household registration to the Yu family and still claim that you are sober?”
Gu Decheng turned a deaf ear to Mrs. Gu and looked at Gu Ye with a cold face. After staring for a while, he suddenly stood up and raised his hand high. Gu Lin grabbed Gu Decheng’s wrist and said, “Let’s talk it over. Don’t fight.”
Gu Ye immediately hid behind his eldest brother, fearing that his father would go crazy when drunk. Seeing this, Gu Yang also hid behind his eldest brother.
Gu Decheng shook off Gu Lin’s hand in dissatisfaction. He pointed at Gu Ye, and said angrily, “I will beat you to death!”
Gu Sen frowned, walked over in two steps, and sat him down with a sullen face, “You are drunk, we will talk tomorrow if there is anything to talk about.”
Gu Decheng could no longer listen to what others said, and only looked at Gu Ye, “I beat you to make you remember! You were brought to this world by your mother using her life. No one’s life is more valuable than your life. You can’t sacrifice yourself to save others!”
Gu Ye was stunned. He didn’t expect that this was what his father wanted to say.
“You have changed so much since you came back from your hometown. Sometimes I wonder if you have become a different person or if you are my son. With these eyebrows and eyes, I am still very sure that you are my son, the very piece of flesh that birthed from your mother!”
“But I am disappointed, I love and hate you at the same time. Look at you, you don’t live long enough to understand life. But you dare to sacrifice yourself for others, and even send yourself for Yu Ze. You! Your father is a businessman!”
Gu Decheng pointed at Gu Sen angrily, “Old First, a smart businessman!” Then pointed at Gu Lin, “Old Second, a smart businessman!”
Next, Gu Decheng pointed at Old Fourth. He opened his mouth but didn’t say anything, and his finger instantly moved to Gu Ye, “Why did I give birth to such a stupid son like you?! Why can’t you just be the same as before, making a mess at home stupidly? But no, you go out to save people! Go out and risk your life! Who do you want to prove to? To me? To let me know that you can do it?”
Gu Decheng added, his eyes red, “If you die, what should I do? I’m over 605!”
Papa Gu’s stuttering is a little unclear, his language is not as organized as usual, and he speaks a little incoherently. However, the inner emotions only found an opportunity to erupt after drinking. He is serious on normal days and he doesn’t say it out but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have any thoughts in his heart.
Gu Ye understood what Gu Decheng meant and couldn’t help but feel a sore nose6. Walking to Gu Decheng, Gu Ye promised apologetically, “Dad, I will cherish my life more than anyone else in the future. I live for myself, and the person I love most is myself. I will never do anything dangerous again.”
Mrs. Gu also tried to smooth things over with red eyes, “Yes, only by loving yourself well can you love others. The child understands. Don’t be agitated, calm down.”
Gu Decheng still looked at Gu Ye. Just when Gu Ye thought he was going to say something, Gu Decheng leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes. In the blink of an eye, Gu Ye heard a long and rhythmic breathing sound. The whole family breathed a sigh of relief, it was time for him to sleep.
Then, Papa Gu snored. The four brothers looked down at him speechlessly and looked at each other. Tacitly, they worked together, lifting arms and legs, and carried him to the bedroom.
At 6.00 am the next day, Gu Decheng sat alone on a bench in the back garden. Listening to the birds singing and smelling the fragrance of flowers, he gradually recalled what happened last night with a cold face.
Gu Sen finished his morning run and found him, “Are you sober? Let’s talk.”
Gu Lin also strolled over, sandwiched him with his eldest brother on the left and right, and said jokingly, “Let’s talk about how to get my brother’s household registration out.”
Papa Gu held his forehead in annoyance. For the first time, he was not right and could not be angry in front of his son, “I, I drink too much.”
During breakfast, the family rarely sat together, but the atmosphere was particularly heavy. No one spoke, and Mrs. Gu looked at her husband with resentment. Only Gu Yang tactlessly drank 2 bowls of porridge and ate 3 meat patties. He also helped his third brother to eat the egg yolk that he didn’t like.
Just after everyone finished clearing the table, they heard someone at the gate announce, “Mr. Yu is here.”
Gu Decheng’s face froze, “The older one or the younger one?”
Gu Sen stood by the window and said with a sullen face, “It’s Yu Ze.”
Mrs. Gu walked over and saw from a distance that Yu Ze was holding something like a folder in his hand. She was immediately shocked, “See, he came to apply to change Gu Ye’s household registration. Will you give it to him?”
Gu Decheng frowned, “Not necessarily about that.”
Mrs. Gu said angrily, “You almost had a bump on your head last night. You generously gave your son to Old Master Yu as his son, and said that he didn’t give you face if he didn’t accept him! Why wouldn’t he want such a big son?”
Gu Lin narrowed his eyes, “Don’t worry, he may not come for this. Old Fourth, go upstairs and keep your third brother busy. Don’t let him come down.”

Yu Ze: Dad~ I’m here~~
