Chapter 1241: Fear Is the Heart of Love
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi in fright.
So it was her aunt and Nalan Chunbo’s real father who were rumored to own the sapphire?
The beloved fiancée in the rumor was actually her aunt?
Ye Yuwei leaned against the door and felt coldness creep into her slowly.
So they had gotten it wrong all this time. It was true that someone had impersonated Gu Tianmu and used Ye Di, but it was also neglected that from eleven years old to fourteen years old, Ye Di might have developed feelings for the impersonator.
While everyone including Ye Shu blamed the child, Wen Jie was the only one who insisted that Ye Di was a kind child. And when Gu Juexi made his deduction about the feud of the Ye family, it had shattered Ye Di’s reputation completely.
Ye Di was an extreme person, so she chose to hurt Wen Jie who had been treating her like her own sister.
The term “viper” was best used to describe her.
Her brother didn’t believe in her, neither did her own son. Everyone other than Wen Jie blamed the poor child who had already pa.s.sed away.
“Did we… get it wrong?” Ye Yuwei continued to lean against the door, her voice trembling so much that she could barely talk.
The way she was threatened and how Gu Tianmu’s unstable condition were now beginning to look like retaliatory threats, even more so when nothing at all had happened to Wen Jie who Gu Juexi cared equally about.
Looks like Nalan Chunbo’s father was back before they had even started searching.
Gu Juexi sat down at the side of the bed. They had indeed gotten it wrong. He followed Ye Shu’s thinking while making the deduction, but he forgot that fear is the heart of love. Ye Di was the one Ye Shu cared about the most, and Ye Shu lost senses when he couldn’t accept what his sister did.
And though Gu Juexi had been sane the whole time he followed Ye Shu’s path, he forgot that love wouldn’t be love if there was too much logic in it.
Ye Yuwei was still leaning against the door when she felt like her strength had drained out of her. It was all wrong. They had gotten it all wrong, and the consequence was that her brother hated himself so much that he gave up his right to be loved.
Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi and knew that he was blaming himself.
It was undeniable that Ye Di was ambitious, but who could guarantee that being ambitious equated to being extreme?
The bedroom was in pin-drop silence. Neither of them said a word.
As if taking his revenge, the man chose to hit them with the truth on what should be the happiest day of their lives.
Maybe he was indeed taking his revenge.
Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei, only to find that she was looking at him too.
“Master Nalan is back, we can have dinner soon,” Auntie Qian called out joyfully from the kitchen downstairs.
Ye Yuwei was going to open the door and leave the room when Gu Juexi jumped up from the bed and held her arm to stop her.
“He has the right to know…” Ye Yuwei turned to Gu Juexi and said firmly.
“We are not certain about it yet, so there is no point in telling him now.” Not able to accept the fact that he didn’t play his cards right, Gu Juexi trapped Ye Yuwei against the door and growled softly.
“Look at how he is now, what did he do to deserve this?” Ye Yuwei protested furiously, “he can’t even face his own feelings because of his past.”
Ye Yuwei would only feel sorry for Nalan Chunbo if she didn’t know about the truth. Now that she knew, she felt that this whole thing was so unfair.
