People are all different. Even though Xu Changqing had long known that out of all her cousins, only Bai Chenggang would side with her unconditionally, she was still deeply moved.
Had it been any of her other cousins, they would have simply complained she was being overly meticulous, instead of worrying that spending money to honor her uncle would strain her finances and cause a rift with Shen Weimin.
'What have I done to deserve a Brother Gangzi like him, who isn't my real brother but treats me better than one? How could I not cherish and treasure him?'
Still, Xu Changqing didn't bring up what Bai Chengsheng, her eldest uncle's son, had said. Not everyone could be as understanding and empathetic as her Brother Gangzi.
'What's the point of bringing up such unpleasantness? He's just a cousin I was never that close to anyway. I'm only letting it go for the sake of my eldest aunt.'
