Daryl hurriedly refused and said, "Janus, this is your own hard-earned money! How could I possibly accept this? Besides that, my income is quite stable now, and I don’t need to pay high medical bills anymore in the future as Mom has already recovered. You can keep this money for yourself!”
Janus smiled and said, "You can only buy a car at most with so little money in Hong Kong. I am not capable, and I have limited abilities. You can accept this money from me without any worries. I am all alone, and I don’t need much money, so it's useless for me to keep this money to myself. If Young Master Wade looks up to me, I will be satisfied if he can manage my food and accommodation for me. If Young Master Wade does not have a use for me, I will simply start up a roast goose restaurant in Sham Shui Po, and I will ask you for some capital when the time comes. You can treat it as if you're holding onto this money on my behalf first, then."
The old lady also spoke up at this time and said, "Daryl, you should take the money since Janus has already said so. You should listen to me if your eldest brother is not home, but now that your eldest brother is finally back, you should listen to him."
Daryl had always admired Janus ever since he was young. He knew that his eldest brother was a person with great abilities and wisdom. So, when he heard this, he nodded and said firmly, "Okay, Mom. I will listen to Janus from now on!"
The old lady nodded in satisfaction and smiled as she said, "Our family has finally reunited now that your eldest brother is back. There will not be anyone who will try to make things difficult for us in Hong Kong anymore in the future now that the conflict between him and Shawn Long has finally been resolved. Our family will definitely be able to turn things around with you and Janus working together!"
Janus knew that his family must have been bullied and ostracized in Hong Kong all these years, so he felt even more guilty at this time.
He was about to say something when he suddenly heard a familiar voice outside. “Is Aunt at home?"
The old lady said in surprise, "Oh, it's Miss Fuller!"
Janus was a little caught off guard, and he hurriedly spoke up and said, "Mr. Long, didn't we already discuss this earlier? Both of us were wrong, and there is no need to worry about who’s right or wrong now that this matter is already in the past."
Shawn thought to himself, 'Damn it. Do you think that I really want to discuss this matter with you? I'm here because Charlie forced me to come here! Otherwise, I wouldn't want to see your face for even another second!'
Although Shawn was very unhappy, he still spoke humbly as he said, "Janus, I know that you are a gracious man, and you do not hold any grudges against me. However, I was at fault in this matter, and I caused you to live in hiding in the United States for twenty years. I feel really sorry about this, so please give me a chance to make amends!"
