The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

On the way home, Ye Yuwei received a call from Xiao Yaojing. A loud shriek came from the other end of the line before she could speak.

“Wen Tao is crazy! Is he out of his mind? He’ll say anything! He told my mother that he is my boyfriend and now my mom is on her way here!”

Ye Yuwei was driving while listening to Xiao Yaojing shouting. The corner of her lips curled upwards.

“Isn’t that a good thing? Otherwise your mother would urge you to go on blind dates again. The last time I met your mother, she asked me to set up a date for you.”

“Never mind that! The real problem now is that my mother is coming. She is coming! She has already bought the flight tickets and is coming here right now with my dad!” Xiao Yaojing huffed, exasperated. She paced up and down her unit angrily.

Ye Yuwei’s mood improved significantly. She had to admit that PA Wen made a brilliant move.

“Even if your mother is here, she will not stay for long. How about you let PA Wen play pretend for a few days? That will shut your mother’s mouth,” Ye Yuwei suggested.

“Whose friend are you, really?” Xiao Yaojing snapped, lashing out at Ye Yuwei.

Ye Yuwei pondered for a while before saying, “Yours, yours.”

“Ye Yuwei, you’re such a wuss,” Gu Juexi scoffed from the back seat while reading his documents.

“Shut up, or I will kill you in a crash if I get upset,” Ye Yuwei sneered and resumed her conversation with Xiao Yaojing, “You pretended to be his girlfriend once for his sake, didn’t you? Now let him do the same.”

“Your man is as nasty as always.” Xiao Yaojing had obviously heard Gu Juexi.

“I guess his slaying mouth disorder is incurable for this lifetime,” Ye Yuwei said casually, ignoring a death glare from Gu Juexi. “Anyway, I don’t think there is an issue regarding PA Wen, his intention was surely good.”

“Huh! Good intention, you say?” Xiao Yaojing scoffed.

“Oh yeah, when will your parents arrive?” Ye Yuwei quickly changed the subject, hearing the rage in Xiao Yaojing’s tone.

“Tonight at 11pm. I have to go pick them up! Argh!”

“Let PA Wen go instead, he’s the cause of your parents’ visit anyway,” Ye Yuwei suggested, her eyes gleaming as she waited for the green light.

“Why do I have the feeling that you are up to no good?” Xiao Yaojing asked suspiciously. There was a hint of a threat in her tone.

“What are you talking about? We’re friends, aren’t we?” Ye Yuwei replied hastily.

“The we-fell-hard-for-a-guy kind of friends, you mean?”

Ye Yuwei was flabbergasted.

Sister, you are truly incisive.

“Ye Yuwei, keep your eyes on the road. Do you think Wen Tao has nothing better to do?” Gu Jeuxi said. He smacked her head with the documents in his hand when she wanted to speak, gesturing for her to stop talking.

Ye Yuwei yelped and reached out to touch her head. It was her turn to send a death glare at Gu Juexi. So verbal slaying was not enough, it had escalated to domestic violence, had it?

Xiao Yaojing suddenly spoke up, “He is busy? What is he busy with? He throws me in this sticky mess, how dare he be busy before solving my problem! Let him be the one picking up my parents!” And Xiao Yaojing hung up.

Ye Yuwei was silent.

“Ye Yuwei, tell me, are you really that dumb? What would you do without me?” Gu Juexi asked charmingly.

“Are you expecting a thank you?” Ye Yuwei rolled her eyes and continued driving.

Gu Juexi raised his eyebrows and was pleased to accept the thanks.
