Gu Juexi stood by the door and looked at Nalan Chunbo disdainfully. Gu Juexi was doing it reluctantly and he never would have done it if Nalan Chunbo wasn’t his brother-in-law.
Ye Yuwei brought the two kids to the resort while Gu Juexi sent Nalan Chunbo to the airport. It was peak hour and they were stuck in a jam on their way to the airport.
Gu Juexi maintained a blank face, probably because the person in the pa.s.senger seat was not worth his facial expressions.
“You had been filial and hid your real ability to not climb over Gu Enterprise and make them embarra.s.sed, but they obviously don’t appreciate it,” said Nalan Chunbo with a serious face. “I am a total outsider to your family affairs to be honest, but I won’t allow anyone from the Gu family to hurt my sister if you get back with Weiwei.”
Gu Juexi’s emotionless face finally had an expression. He gripped the steering wheel as he waited for the green light and said, “I won’t let them have things their way.”
“Just contact me if you ever need my help,” Nalan Chunbo nodded and said.
Gu Juexi glanced at Nalan Chunbo and accepted his offer quietly.
The two kids were playing at the resort. Ye Yuwei checked out the renovation progress and updated Qian Yikun on the status before she joined her children at the courtyard.
Xixi’s health didn’t allow her to run too often, but she had always been an active kid. Ye Xicheng often had to follow his sister around and was telling his little sister to stop running when Ye Yuwei got to the courtyard.
Ye Yuwei didn’t get herself involved and continued to talk to her mother-in-law on the phone.
“I took them with me to the resort, we will be okay,” Ye Yuwei smiled and said, sitting down on a bench as she watched her daughter acting cute with her brother.
“That kid Juexi went out early in the morning and woke Auntie Qian up to make dishes that you like. Is he really okay?” Wen Jie chuckled.
Ye Yuwei rested one hand on the table and decided to let her mother-in-law know what happened in the hotel earlier. “Gu Tianmu and Aunt Gu came to look for Gu Juexi today. I think Gu Juexi knew, mother.”
But the person on the other line didn’t seem to be surprised and remained silent.
“And the relations.h.i.+p between Gu Tianmu and Aunt Gu,” Ye Yuwei continued even more carefully.
This time, the person on the other end remain silent for even longer.
Ye Yuwei sat there quietly and waited for Wen Jie to say something. She would listen to the story if Wen Jie decided to tell her, otherwise she would just keep quiet and pretended to have never brought this up before.
“Come over tonight, I will ask Auntie Qian to cook dishes that you like. Also, Auntie Mao has something that she wants to tell you,” said Wen Jie softly, and her mood was obviously not as good as before.
Ye Yuwei responded and wore a long face even after the call ended.
Meanwhile, Gu Juexi headed to his company after sending Nalan Chunbo to the airport and told PA Wen to go to his office. He couldn’t drag things any longer, be it for the Bai family or the Gu family.
He had to visit the Bai family and settle things before Gu Tianmu exposed the ident.i.ty of Ye Yuwei, because he couldn’t tell when that mad man would actually do so.
PA Wen listened to Gu Juexi arranging his work for the next one month and had a sinking feeling—this had happened only once six years ago.
