The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

The relationship between Gu Juexi and Gu Tianmu was a profound one.

Gu Juexi had been trying to get his father’s attention since he was young and had put a lot of effort into it, so when he kept getting disappointed, he started to hate Gu Tianmu.

Many years later, Gu Juexi found out that Gu Tianmu only hated him because he was misled. The feeling when he found out the truth was ineffable, but it was also very frustrating.

As for Gu Tianmu, he was a man who was excited to find out he was going to be a father at first and was later deceived into distancing his son who he loved so much.

Many years later, he felt regret when he found out that he was misled since the beginning and it made him lose his son almost completely.

So in reality, Gu Tianmu never intended to leave, and Gu Juexi never looked like he was trying to get rid of his father for real.

“People raise children in preparation for their old age. I don’t remember you raising me, but you expect me to take care of you now that you are old?” Gu Juexi sneered coldly.

“How do you think you became the person you are today if I didn’t raise you?” Gu Tianmu argued icily.

“Oh, then I thank you for those few years of food that you provided me with. Would you like me to pay you back?”

Ye Yuwei watched father and son arguing and expected her father-in-law to slam his chopsticks on the table and storm off. After all, even Ye Yuwei who had been following Gu Juexi and was influenced by his skills at arguing had not been able to win any argument with the legendary Slayer Gu.

And indeed, Gu Tianmu slammed his chopsticks on the table loudly not long after and left the table after turning down Xiao Yuan’s help.

Ye Yuwei and Wen Jie both remained silent, while Gu Juexi continued to feed his daughter emotionlessly. Ye Xicheng was munching on a piece of chicken and staring at Gu Juexi, imagining that he could argue with the old meatball the same way when he got old and probably win the argument.

“Don’t tell anyone that you are my wife if you ever let anyone spar with you again. How are you so bad at this?” Gu Juexi demanded as he glanced at Ye Yuwei when he noticed that she was looking at him.

Ye Yuwei was too stunned to respond.

Sorry for embarrassing you, debate guru.

“He’s your father,” Wen Jie let out a sigh and said.

“Why else do you think he was able to join the table?” Gu Juexi asked indifferently. The way he ranked his family members was clear enough, and the ranking so far was: wife, mother.

As for his daughter, she would get married eventually. Although his daughter was definitely the first by far for now, she would be someone else’s one day, unlike his wife who was going to be with him for the rest of their lives.

As for his son… forget about him. It saddened him just to think of it.

Wen Jie asked Xiao Yuan to prepare some food for Gu Tianmu and send it to his room.

Ye Yuwei noticed that her mother-in-law did care about her father-in-law, but it was more to affection than love for they had a son together.

After dinner, Xixi went to Gu Tianmu’s room and stood by the door to peek at Gu Tianmu who was reading on his bed.

Gu Tianmu looked up and noticed the little girl. She was looking around with her big eyes, and he could see a young Gu Juexi in the girl’s face though not as much when compared to her brother.

Xixi saw that Gu Tianmu was looking at her and looked around to make sure that her brother, Daddy and Mummy were not around before entering the room carefully.

“Grandpa,” Xixi called out sweetly with her little hands behind her back.

Gu Tianmu felt his frustration from losing the argument with his son subside after Xixi greeted him. He put down the book he was reading and looked at the little girl who was standing in front of him shyly.

Xixi took out a piece of cake from her back and gave it to Gu Tianmu. “Mummy lets me have this only once a week. I will let Grandpa have it, so can Grandpa not hate Mummy?”
