Chapter 1321: The Extravagant Birthday Party
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi were in the hotel. They stood aside like the rest of the guests because they had no say whatsoever in this party. Gu Tianmu had every detail under his control. He even personally checked the security and surveillance of the venue.
“I finally know why your dad attracted so many admirers back in the day like you. He is handsome through and through, and you share the same angry face too,” Ye Yuwei said bluntly while leaning on Gu Juexi’s shoulder.
Gu Juexi lowered his gaze at Ye Yuwei and snorted.
“Hey, your dad remembers the real purpose of this birthday feast, right?” Looking at the decorations and whatnot, Ye Yuwei couldn’t even estimate how much all of it cost. Her father-in-law must have burned a big hole in his pocket. Both father and son were equally pretentious.
“That old man is a sly fox, he wants to catch the culprits and celebrate the birthday,” Gu Juexi sneered.
Gu Tianmu intended to kill two birds with one stone. He wanted to celebrate Wen Jie’s birthday and also apprehend the people he targeted.
Ye Yuwei looked askance at him, amused. What a loving son.
“But are you really sure of your deduction?” Ye Yuwei asked anxiously.
“Nope,” Gu Juexi said directly.
Ye Yuwei frowned.
“But when they confront each other, everything will become clear,” Gu Juexi uttered. He took Ye Yuwei’s hand and left the hotel.
Meanwhile, in a villa in Country L, there was a huge mess on the floor.
No one was able to stop the woman going crazy there until Princess Pink rushed to the scene.
It wasn’t until there was nothing intact left in the room that the woman stopped her madness.
Princess Pink waved her hand, gesturing for the maids to leave them be. She bent down and picked up the phone on the floor. On its screen was the news about the extravagant birthday feast that had been buzzing all over the internet. The most striking thing was Gu Tianmu’s picture.
“Mother.” Princess Pink put the phone away and looked at the distraught woman.
“An extravagant birthday party? Reconciliation?” Wen Lan’s exquisite makeup looked scary under her savage expression.
Princess Pink walked forward. “Mother, as long as you don’t show up, they can prove nothing, and you can completely break away from the past,” Pink persuaded.
“Why do I have to break away from the past? Wen Jie, that wicked woman! Who does she think she is? What makes her worthy of Gu Tianmu? Aren’t they divorced? Aren’t they divorced?” Wen Lan’s shrill voice echoed across the room. She went over and gripped Princess Pink’s shoulders. “Pink, you are my daughter, you have to listen to me, you have to!”
The pain from her shoulders vibrated through Princess Pink’s body. She knew something about her mother, but not everything.
Since young, her mother had raised her like a socialite and a n.o.ble, in hopes that one day she would become successful and elite. She knew of her mother’s great ambitions, otherwise her mother would not have dumped her father after she became a princess and moved in with her.
Princess Pink felt sorry for her mother’s distressing past, so she tried her best to fulfill her mother’s wishes, but this time she condemned her mother’s irrational decision.
“Mother, maybe this is a trap to lure you there. The messages that Gu Juexi sent me earlier made me very uneasy,” Princess Pink said in a serious and concerned tone. “I can’t protect you if you go to China.”
The woman’s rationality had succ.u.mbed to spiteful jealousy, and she wouldn’t listen to reason, especially when she saw another name on the news—Nalan Jing.
The d.a.m.ned Nalan Jing.
