Chapter 1268: Something a Straight Guy Would Think Of
Gu Juexi quickly pulled the sobbing Xixi into his lap and patted her back. “You did not hit her, right?”
Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes. She did not want to bother with this annoying man.
Xixi finally agreed to go to school, which Gu Tianmu hadn’t expected. In his opinion, he was totally fine with his granddaughter not going to school. After all, the Gu family was certainly wealthy enough to feed a little girl, weren’t they?
This incident deepened Gu Tianmu’s loathing towards Ye Yuwei. How could she treat his granddaughter like that?
Ye Yuwei prepared some snacks for Xixi to share with her friends at school so they would play with her.
Ye Xicheng also promised not to leave Xixi alone anymore. He would take good care of his little sister.
Today’s issue was caused by Xixi sulking about her brother. She thought her brother would not play with her anymore if he had other friends. That was the reason she hated school.
Ye Yuwei sent the children to school. Ye Xicheng was holding Xixi’s little hand but she kept looking back at her mother after every few steps. Her teary face was very pitiful.
Ye Yuwei stood at the kindergarten entrance and waited until their silhouettes disappeared from sight, then returned to the car.
“I already told you not to send them to school before this,” complained Gu Juexi when he thought of his daughter’s pitiful look just now. He wanted to take her home immediately. School? Why should she go to school? He could afford to raise his daughter even if she was illiterate.
That was definitely something only a straight guy would think of.
“What is wrong with you?” Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes and shot Gu Juexi a death glare. She added, “She is still so young. What will happen to her in the future if you keep locking her in the house?”
Gu Juexi wanted to fight back but he kept his mouth shut after consideration.
On the way to sending Ye Yuwei to her workplace, Gu Juexi’s phone suddenly rang and he quickly answered it.
“CEO, there’s a Mr. Nalan here who would like to see you. He said he had booked an appointment with you earlier but I don’t have any record of it,” the a.s.sistant secretary informed him quickly.
Mr. Nalan?
Nalan Jing!
Gu Juexi responded to the a.s.sistant secretary then hung up. He never expected that guy would come to look for him first.
“You can leave first if you have something urgent,” muttered Ye Yuwei. They were already late for work today and PA Wen’s absence recently made him much busier than usual.
“Never mind. It is not urgent,” a.s.sured Gu Juexi. He insisted on dropping Ye Yuwei at the bank. Since Nalan Jing was the one who wanted to see him, he could let him wait for a while.
After all, the waiting period might wear down his patience.
When they reached the bank, Gu Juexi suddenly grabbed Ye Yuwei’s hand before she got out of the car and whispered, “Don’t let Gu Tianxin out these next few days. Keep her in your office.”
Gu Juexi’s tone was strict and serious. Ye Yuwei had a hunch that something bad was going to happen but she could only nod.
When Gu Juexi reached his office, Nalan Jing had been waiting in the reception room. At the moment, he was standing at the window and observing the scenery.
Gu Juexi waved his hand to stop his secretary from entering the room, then closed the door and said, “It’s odd that Mr. Nalan is paying me a visit today. To what do I owe this pleasure?”
Nalan Jing did not turn his head but continued to stare at the people walking below. “I heard Gu Enterprise has a spectacular view, so I’m here to have a look.”
Nalan Jing turned around to look at Gu Juexi. “CEO Gu is late today.”
Gu Juexi walked to the sofa and sat down. “Unexpected incidents tend to happen when there are children at home. I’m sure Mr. Nalan knows what that feels like.”
Nalan Jing nodded and sat down opposite Gu Juexi. His stare was getting more intense.
