Ye Yuwei pursed her lips and wanted to say that it wasn’t her fault that her visa had expired. She really hadn’t expected that they would make their trip to the US so soon.
“What is going on exactly?” asked Ye Yuwei worriedly.
Gu Juexi glanced at Ye Yuwei as he started the car engine. “Do you remember what Auntie Mao said about Wen Lan being Wen Chenghao’s favorite?”
Ye Yuwei nodded. Of course she did, she was even wondering how a father could be so biased.
“So what if it was Wen Lan who planned all this?” Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei and asked.
Ye Yuwei’s mind went blank for a second and felt her back become sweaty.
“The Gu Family’s era has ended, but the Wen Family’s hasn’t. If you found out the truth, the real victim would actually be Wen Jie. So your grandfather would rather kill than let the scandal from the past be exposed?” Ye Yuwei felt like the air was depleting from her lungs. Her rapid breathing showed how unbelievable she found it.
Gu Juexi gripped the steering wheel tightly without saying a word.
“My brother doesn’t seem to know the whole truth. My grandfather misled him, that’s why Mo Fei told you that it was your grandmother who wanted to kill me. He wanted to plant all this on your grandmother?” Ye Yuwei find it even more unbelievable as she deduced further.
Gu Juexi’s face turned ashen as he wondered the same thing.
“But what is Mother trying to protect?” asked Ye Yuwei.
“I don’t know, but we should go to the US and straighten everything out before he makes his move again,” said Gu Juexi determinedly.
Ye Yuwei held her hands together. It was lucky that Gu Juexi had figured it out before they went in the wrong direction.
“I will be fine,” Ye Yuwei said and reached out to hold Gu Juexi’s arm.
Gu Juexi was sitting stiffly, showing how nervous he actually was about their deduction.
“Of course you would be, I won’t let anything happen to you,” Gu Juexi smirked at Ye Yuwei and said.
Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi and felt calm. She leaned towards him and rested her head on his shoulder. “I know.”
She always knew that she wouldn’t have to worry about anything as long as he was around.
Gu Juexi tried to relax himself too. At least he wouldn’t have to worry so much when Ye Yuwei was physically beside him.
Gu Juexi called Gu Tianmu on their way back. Ye Yuwei had no idea what the two men talked about because she was unconscious, again. This time she was certain that it was because of Gu Juexi.
“I won’t forgive you if I find out that you knew what Wen Lan did to my mother,” Gu Juexi growled as soon as the call was answered then ended the call immediately.
Gu Juexi had three important women in his life who no one could harm: his mother, his wife, and his daughter.
Anyone who hurt them would get ten times or even a hundred times more of what they did from him.
No matter who that person was.
Meanwhile, Gu Tianmu was on his way to the airport for his flight to the US. In his hand was his phone which his son had called to threaten him earlier.
Gu Tianmu looked at his phone as he walked to the boarding gate and made a call. “Find out everything about Ye Di.”
Gu Tianmu looked at the monitor to double confirm his flight number after the call and held his phone tightly.
[“You hated Wen Jie because you were material for gossip after she eloped, but you were actually the pathetic one here – You didn’t dare find out the truth and hid from it for half of your life. You made a woman be misunderstood her whole life, and for that you deserve to lose your wife and your son.”]
Ai Mijia’s voice was like a curse that never went away.
He knew that there was still someone who would love to see him hide from it for the rest of his life, but he was not going to do that anymore. He had been hiding from it his whole life, just because he was not as decisive as his son when it came to making decisions.
Gu Tianmu turned back to look at the city and promised silently, ‘Whatever you are hiding, Wen Jie, I will look into it for sure.’
