The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

“My mommy lived with this family a lot longer than you did. You’ve only just returned.” Ye Xicheng knitted his brows tightly, his tone unfriendly.

‘I will not tolerate anyone speaking badly about Mommy.’

Xixi hopped off Gu Tianmu and returned to Wen Jie’s embrace. “Grandpa doesn’t like Mommy, so Xixi shall not befriend Grandpa anymore.”

Gu Tianmu was speechless.

‘What good does that woman have? All she did was produce children for the family.’

To Gu Tianmu, there wasn’t a single good person in the Ye family.

When Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi returned home, they realised the atmosphere was tense. Gu Tianmu was sitting alone in the living room with the television turned on, but he wasn’t watching it.

Wen Jie was resting at the balcony, and the two children were playing by themselves in the living room.

It was a normal scene in their daily life, but there was something off today.

When Gu Juexi’s gaze met Xixi’, she ran over and hugged her daddy’s thighs, telling him she missed him with a sweet smile.

Gu Juexi bent over and carried Xixi. Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes at her daughter before going off to look for her son.

Gu Juexi carried Xixi over to the couch and sat down. “Was there any news on Nalan Jing’s fatal accident back then?”

Gu Tianmu squinted at his son, his left hand was still holding the remote control.

“I’ve checked multiple sources. There is no such person in the State’s business,” Gu Juexi continued.

“It has been quite some time since Nalan Jing’s accident. Besides, the Nalan family had intentionally covered up all the news. You won’t be able to find out anything regarding his death.” Gu Tianmu had tried to recall everything about that person after his son mentioned the name the other day.

Gu Juexi took a piece of cut fruit from a plate on the table and offered it to his daughter. “So, is he really dead?”

“The rumours said so. When you mentioned him previously, I did recall that Nalan Jing’s accident was before yours. During that time, your mom was pregnant with you, so based on that, it should be around the time of Ye Di’s passing.” Gu Tianmu placed the remote control on the table.

The accident happened the same year as Ye Di’s passing?

Maybe the accident had something to do with Ye Di’s death then.

Gu Juexi turned and glanced at the balcony. His mother was still seated there, so she probably couldn’t hear their conversation. “There is another matter at hand. Did Wen Lan pass away before your wedding with Mom?” Gu Juexi enquired.

Gu Tianmu furrowed his brows. “What are you getting at?”

“I was wondering what exactly your relationship with Wen Lan is,” Gu Juexi asked nonchalantly.

“How many times do I need to repeat myself until all of you believe me? We had no relationship at all.” Gu Tianmu snarled, furious.

Xixi was shocked by the sudden outburst, and her small body trembled in response.

Gu Juexi patted Xixi gently. “If you had nothing to do with her, why didn’t you say so back then? What’s the use of getting angry now? You didn’t explain yourself and yet you put the blame on others. You’re not really good at this, are you?”

“Gu Juexi.” Gu Tianmu growled.

“Did I say something wrong?” Gu Juexi retorted.

It was even more infuriating because he was right.

Hence, Gu Tianmu stood up and stormed off towards his room in a huff.

Gu Juexi let out a sigh. His question was unanswered.

He just left in a huff?

Ye Yuwei, who was sitting on the carpet with her son, looked up as Gu Tianmu left in a rage. Although Gu Tianmu didn’t like her, there didn’t seem to be anyone who liked him in the family.

During dinner, Xiao Yuan delivered food to Gu Tianmu.

Xiao Yuan mentioned that her son had arrived in B City, so she requested the day off tomorrow to tidy up her son’s apartment.
