Due to Gu Juexi’s absence, Auntie Mao held back on what she wanted to say.
Meanwhile at the bar, Yu Jiangqing watched Gu Juexi drink without comforting him.
“To be honest, why haven’t you made any moves? Ye Yuwei is back now anyway,” Yu Jiangqing asked.
Gu Juexi swirled his glass of wine, tilted his head and jeered. “Yes, it’s true that she is back but where do I get the time to do so?”
Yu Jiangqing kept quiet after what Gu Juexi said. Ye Yuwei came back, and so had the problems of the Gu Family and Bai Family.
“I have had a few conversations with Yuwei, I don’t think she is the type that is hard to get along with.”
“Are you joking? She is as prickly as a cactus, how is that easy to get along with?” Gu Juexi sneered and finished the wine in his glass.
Yu Jiangqing remained silent.
She is only prickly to you. You asked for it so who should you blame?
Gu Juexi continued drinking as he looked at Yu Jiangqing. The latter’s mind went blank for a moment and he didn’t get what Gu Juexi was trying to say until Gu Juexi looked at him disdainfully.
Yu Jiangqing took out his phone and found Ye Yuwei’s number that he saved earlier. “Tut-tut, who knew that the mighty Gu Juexi would use tricks like this.”
“Shut up,” Gu Juexi yelled to cover his embarrassment. His face turned red, either because of the wine or something else.
Yu Jiangqing dialled Ye Yuwei’s number and through the phone came the soothing voice of Ye Yuwei.
“It’s Yu Jiangqing, sister-in-law. Boss drank a little bit too much and can’t go back on his own. Do you think you can come and pick him up?” Yu Jiangqing looked at the man sitting opposite him who was very much sober and continued to lie with his splendid acting.
He acted as well as any great actor.
Ye Yuwei who was having dinner got Yu Jiangqing’s call and quickly put down her chopsticks. “Where are you now?”
Ye Yuwei hung up after she got the address and told Wen Jie, “Gu Juexi was drinking with Yu Jiangqing and got drunk, mother. I will go pick him up.”
“Go now, go now,” said Wen Jie quickly. “Drive safe.”
Ye Xicheng held his chopsticks and pursed his lips as he watched his mother leave.
Yu Jiangqing hung up and tossed his phone onto the bar counter. “What did you do to deserve Ye Yuwei? I need someone like her for myself. Shouldn’t you celebrate that your father set you up for this?”
Gu Juexi looked at Yu Jiangqing emotionlessly and continued drinking. Actually, everything that had been going on wasn’t too bad if looked at from a different perspective.
He hated being used by Gu Tianmu, but he didn’t mind if being used by Gu Tianmu made Ye Yuwei care about him.
After all, Gu Tianmu already meant nothing to him, not to mention when compared to Ye Yuwei.
“Dream on. There is only one Ye Yuwei, and she’s mine,” Gu Juexi said proudly.
Yu Jiangqing chuckled. It was not every day that he got to see the childish side of their boss. Yu Jiangqing patted Gu Juexi’s shoulder. “That’s not a big deal. My old man wanted to arrange for someone that he was not related to, and it cost him his life.”
Gu Juexi looked at Yu Jiangqing while the latter smiled elegantly. A father’s love was something the both of them didn’t know.
