Chapter 1813: Show A Friendly Face
Ye Xicheng was approaching with a book in his hands when he heard that.
Gu Juexi walked over with Xi Xi in his arms. “What is all this about the household registration? What about my son?”
“In the future, when her son’s surname is Ye, you’ll know that it has nothing to do with you.” Gu Tianmu, who was sitting on the other side, scoffed.
Ye Yuwei felt sad. She knew that her father-in-law would bring this up. The reason why he did not like her was because of Xicheng too.
However, now that her mother-in-law mentioned it too, she guessed that this matter occurred to her mother-in-law too.
Ye Yuwei did not mind much about her children’s surname. No matter what their surname was, they were still her children, right?
“In a few days, Gu Juexi and I will go to the Civil Affairs Department to correct their information,” Ye Yuwei spoke first. This was something she should have done a long time ago, but she delayed it after getting caught up by her many tasks.
After Ye Yuwei finished speaking, Gu Tianmu looked a little embarra.s.sed. He probably did not expect Ye Yuwei to agree so quickly.
Gu Juexi sneered.
“Also, your father and I are planning to return to the United States.” Wen Jie suddenly threw out another grenade.
This time, both Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei were shocked. It was clear that this was completely out of their expectations.
“Mom, why did you suddenly want to go back to the United States?” Ye Yuwei hastily asked.
Still holding Ye Yuwei’s hand, Wen Jie said with a smile, “Your father and I grew up in the States. We’re different from you. That’s our home. I’m relieved to see that you and Juexi are doing well. Now, I want to go back.”
“But—” Ye Yuwei turned around and looked at Gu Juexi, wanting him to persuade Wen Jie.
Gu Juexi frowned slightly. “Have you really decided?”
If it was really his parents’ decision, he would not interfere.
Wen Jie nodded. Seeing her son happy was enough for her. She thought that most people, as they grew older, they would probably rather return to where they spent their childhood in.
“Grandma, don’t go. If you leave, Xi Xi will cry when she misses you.” Xi Xi climbed onto Wen Jie’s body and wrapped her arms around Wen Jie’s neck.
“If you miss Grandma, you can come to visit Grandma in the United States with Daddy.” Wen Jie carried Xi Xi and shook gently. She could not bear to part with her granddaughter, but that was something that she had to sacrifice in making this choice.
No one could live for someone else for the rest of their lives.
Since Gu Juexi did not ask Wen Jie to stay, Ye Yuwei could not say anything else.
Furthermore, now that her father-in-law treated her mother-in-law sincerely, even if they returned, Ye Yuwei did not need to worry about her mother-in-law getting hurt.
This New Year’s Day was a little sad.
Qian Yikun and Mo Fei’s physical conditions were deemed to be miraculous by the doctors. They were severely injured, yet it was not enough to threaten their lives.
However, by the time Mo Fei woke up, Tigger had already left. Before he left, he left Mo Fei a message—he would stop committing crimes. Instead, he would help as many people as he could to atone for his sins.
“F*ck, I let him off too easily,” Mo Fei growled.
However, after Mo Fei growled, she received a knock on the head from Qian Yikun, who came to her ward.
“Stop cursing.”
Mo Fei exclaimed in pain and raised her head to glare at Qian Yikun. “You hypocrite, can you stop being such a hypocrite?”
Qian Yikun sneered. He sat on the stool beside her bed and helped her retrieve the cup with one hand before pa.s.sing it to her.
Mo Fei lowered her head to look at his bandaged arm that was hanging from his neck. Her arm, too, hung in the same manner, both crippled by Mo Tian.
“Say, I think it’s fair to claim that we’ve been through so much together. Can’t you at least show me a good face?” Looking at her dark expression, she definitely qualified to be cast as Justice Bao[1].
[1] Also known as Lord Bao, he was a Chinese politician in Song Dynasty known for his honesty and uprightness. He is often portrayed as dark-skinned with a crescent moon on his forehead.
