Bai Yuyan had escaped. Exactly one hour after Ye Yuwei waited, Bai Yuyan had really escaped.
When Ye Yuwei heard the news, she stood up and opened the car door, looking at Lu Qichuan who also stood up.
“Brother Lu, thank you.”
‘Thank you for liking me and also for everything you’ve done for Gu Juexi.’
Lu Qichuan calmed himself. He didn’t say a word and only stared as Ye Yuwei got into the car and left. He knew that Ye Yuwei would have to face the Bai family after this.
Other than Gu Juexi, no one could help her.
When Ye Yuwei got home, Xixi had fallen asleep. Ye Xicheng was seated on the couch, accompanying his sister who was sleeping. Wen Jie was nowhere in sight.
Butler Kim told her that Wen Jie was resting upstairs as she was feeling unwell.
Ye Yuwei looked at the young and old. Mother was not in good health and her daughter was also weak. She could rely on her son but he was only five years old.
Ye Yuwei went upstairs to check on Mother. Wen Jie woke up to the sound of the knocking on the door and let Ye Yuwei in.
“You’re back.” Wen Jie slowly sat up.
Ye Yuwei assisted Wen Jie and placed a cushion behind her back. She nodded slightly and sat down at the side of the bed. “Mom—”
“The last time you accompanied me and chatted was because you were leaving.” Wen Jie sighed. “I said some unpleasant words. The affairs of the heart should be handled between the two of you. Outsiders can’t interfere.”
“Mom, it’s not like that. Those who are involved can’t see clearly. You were right.” Ye Yuwei held Wen Jie’s hand and lowered her gaze. “Mom, I might be away for a few days. Auntie Mao’s funeral will have to wait for Gu Juexi to return. Xicheng is quite obedient, he can take care of Xixi. You don’t have to worry.”
Wen Jie was taken aback by Ye Yuwei’s words. “Weiwei, is there something wrong? The way Juexi spoke to me last time made it seem like something had happened.”
Wen Jie was obviously uneasy and Ye Yuwei didn’t know how to explain it to her.
The issue this time was different from the previous matter. The obstacle this time was even more challenging.
“Mom, don’t worry. Juexi will return,” Ye Yuwei reassured her. “He’s a force to be reckoned with. Even Hades doesn’t dare take his life.”
“I thought he could lead a good life with you after he stopped being in the army, but now—” Wen Jie sighed and left her words hanging.
Ye Yuwei didn’t know how to console Wen Jie anymore as she was involved in the matter as well.
“Let men handle their affairs on their own, Weiwei, don’t be rash,” Wen Jie fretted. “You still have two young ones at home.”
“Mom, I understand,” Ye Yuwei acquiesced. “Have a good rest. I’ll go have a look at the kids.” Ye Yuwei chose to keep certain things from Wen Jie to prevent her from worrying.
Wen Jie looked at Ye Yuwei leaving the room, her brows knitted. She felt the same uneasiness as the last time. In fact, the issue this time caused her more uneasiness.
When Ye Yuwei reached the living room, Ye Xicheng was seated on the couch, supporting his little sister who was sleeping.
“Mommy, what are you up to?” Ye Xicheng blurted out abruptly as Ye Yuwei approached them.
