The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ask Wen Jie? Gu Juexi would rather die than ask Wen Jie.

His mother had suffered enough in the past and she was the last person Gu Juexi wanted to involve in this mess.

“You may leave now,” said Gu Juexi as he massaged his temples.

Yu Jiangqing knew Gu Juexi well enough to be mad at his attitude. He put away the documents after he stood up and tidied his clothes. “My instinct tells me that your father is up to no good when he links your wife to her father. Make sure that you and your wife are on good terms; we don’t want things to get crazy again.”

Gu Juexi chased Yu Jiangqing out of the ward. Secretly though, he completely agreed with what Yu Jiangqing had said.

Because that was his greatest fear.

Ye Xicheng was happy to see Ye Yuwei come home, only now realizing the perks of knowing the secrets of others.

Ye Yuwei hugged her two excited children while Wen Jie headed upstairs to rest. She then took her children to the hall and asked worriedly, “Is Mother okay, Uncle Kim?”

“She is fine. She has been a bit down though, probably because of what happened to the young master,” said Butler Kim as he filled up the bathtub for Ye Yuwei, “and maybe because of what happened to Auntie Mao too. It’s understandable that the mistress’ mood isn’t good.”

Ye Yuwei responded with a nod. Auntie Mao’s funeral was in two days’ time and Gu Juexi had everything taken care of.

“Thank you, Uncle Kim. You must be tired, please get some rest,” said Ye Yuwei, sitting on the couch with her two children on her lap.

Uncle Kim headed back to his room after letting out a heavy sigh. He turned to Ye Yuwei while walking to the door. “I remember something, young mistress. Didn’t you ask about people who came to see Auntie Mao? Master did come to see Auntie Mao and they talked for nearly half an hour, though I have no idea what they were talking about.”

Ye Yuwei’s eyes widened as she looked at Butler Kim walking towards the door.

Gu Tianmu had seen Auntie Mao?

Could it be Gu Tianmu who told Auntie Mao to tell Gu Juexi those stories so that Gu Juexi would do something against the Gu family and Gu Tianmu could surrender himself in the middle of the feud?

Gu Tianmu must be crazy if that was the case, so that deduction would not work.

“What’s wrong, Mommy?” Ye Xicheng looked up at his mother and asked worriedly.

Ye Yuwei stroked her son’s hair. “Mommy is fine,” said Ye Yuwei as she pushed her children away gently and sat down on the couch. “We will look for Master Yao Lao once the funeral is over, and hopefully Xixi can be cured by then.”

Ye Xicheng nodded seriously.

“I don’t want an injection!” Xixi shouted loudly, quickly covering her butt when she heard that her mommy was going to take her to the doctor. “Xixi doesn’t want an injection.”

Ye Yuwei looked at her daughter in amusement and pulled her onto her lap. “No injections for Xixi,” said Ye Yuwei, thinking that acupuncture was different from injections. “No injections at all, we are not having any injections.”

Xixi looked at her mother doubtfully and reached out. “Pinky promise, Mommy.”

Ye Yuwei was speechless at her daughter’s reaction.

She was smart, but acupuncture and injections were two different things.

“Fine, Mommy promises you: no injections,” said Ye Yuwei as she stuck out her pinky and hooked Xixi’s. Gu Juexi would be the one taking Xixi to Master Yao Lao anyway, so she would leave it to Gu Juexi then.

Xixi felt at ease after making a pinky promise with her mother. She crawled down from her mother’s lap, mumbling something that was most likely about Gu Juexi.
