The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Ye Yuwei reminisced about their meeting. Of course, she would have mentioned her name. They were the only two Chinese in the plaza so they had started chatting.

However, she felt uneasy upon the remark as it indicated that she was partially responsible for their turmoil.

“After your accident, Lu went to the bar to get himself drunk and that’s when he met Tan Chenxiao. Only after she sent the girl to him did he know about their daughter,” Gu Juexi explained.

Ye Yuwei looked at Tan Chenxiao’s photo on the laptop with an unsettled mind. This reality was hard to digest because, at the end of the day, she was a part of the trouble that affected Lu Qichuan’s life.

Gu Juexi noticed her gloomy expression. He pinched her chin and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“All this while, I thought I had made things clear with Brother Lu. Now when I think about it, not only did I mess things up but I dragged Tan Chenxiao and Sichen into this mess,” Ye Yuwei sighed dejectedly.

“What does an outsider have to do with this? That is their business,” Gu Juexi sneered, “Tan Chenxiao is one tough character too, you know.”

Ye Yuwei stared at him disdainfully and thought, ‘Mr. Gu, it is too obvious that you took your brother’s side.’

The team of specialist doctors arrived three days later along with their equipment. It was on a Tuesday.

That meant Gu Juexi had to leave the next day.

Xixi seemed to be miraculously well for the past three days, although her blood was still black.

The team of doctors consisted of four people, three of them were Americans and the other was a gorgeous Italian doctor.

Sam was their team leader. His looks were classically American— blonde hair, blue eyes, fair complexion—clean-cut and smart.

Sam shook hands with Gu Juexi and greeted him in broken Chinese, “Mr. Gu, your name precedes you. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”

Gu Juexi shook his hand back as a friendly gesture.

They cut to the chase and requested Xixi’s blood test reports. They asked for another round of blood tests, which was easy to do since they had brought the necessary machine with them.

During the procedure, the only thing that Ye Yuwei could do was to comfort her daughter in her embrace. They did not have any interaction with the doctors since they were not the experts and the communication was done between Master Yao Lao and the team.

Ye Yuwei kept an eye on the time. There were only two flights out to B City, one in the afternoon and the other at midnight. Gu Juexi had already missed the afternoon flight, so he had to get on the midnight flight in order to arrive at B City in time for the gala dinner.

However, Gu Juexi did not seem concerned about departing despite it being dusk already.

The doctors had a simple dinner and continued discussing Xixi’s condition. Meanwhile, Xixi slept right after dinner, perhaps to escape another round of blood extraction.

Ye Xicheng did not disturb them, although he was equally concerned about his sister.

Their discussion did not produce any significant outcome. Ye Yuwei looked at her watch and immediately pulled Gu Juexi outside.

“You have to go now,” Ye Yuwei said anxiously and passed him the car key, “Xixi will be fine; she has been in excellent condition for the past few days, you’ve see it yourself. You can rush back here tomorrow night, but you must go back.”

Gu Juexi frowned indecisively. He simply looked at the car keys in her hand but did nothing.

“Gu Juexi—” She grabbed his hand and shoved the keys into his palm. “PA Wen has been calling nonstop. If you don’t want to see Gu Enterprise’s shares collapse to their lowest point by tomorrow, you have to go back. You must!”

“Mr. Gu, the result is out,” the people inside called out suddenly.

Gu Juexi tossed the keys at Ye Yuwei, turned around and sprinted into the room. Although surprised, Ye Yuwei followed him into the room as well.
