Wen Jie hesitated but still released Xixi and let her play for awhile.
Xiao Yuan entered the room with a phone and handed it to her. Wen Jie held the phone in her hand but before she could talk, the device was snatched by Ye Xicheng that was standing on the tip of his toes.
“Whoever this mister is, my grandmother is sick and is resting. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me,” Ye Xicheng stated seriously in his childlike voice. Though he was still young, he roughly knew what had happened.
This mister who taught biology was as hated as his good-for-nothing father.
Wen Jie had a dazed expression, a sense of poignance washing through her.
She was being protected by her six-year-old grandson?
The person on the other side of the phone was obviously surprised to hear a young child.
This was the kid, for sure.
The kid who looked the same as Gu Juexi when he was little.
“This is stuff only adults can talk about, kids shouldn’t interrupt us,” Gu Tianmu’s bone-chilling voice came from the other line, as if the fact that he was his grandson did not matter and softening his tone was unnecessary.
“We don’t want outsiders to bother our family too. If you don’t have anything else to say, then hang up the phone. It’s late now and we need to rest. Goodnight, mister,” Ye Xicheng said politely with a smile on his face, then proceeded to end the call.
After hanging up on him, Ye Xicheng returned the phone to Xiao Yuan. “Mrs. Xiao Yuan, if this weird old man calls Grandma again, remember to not disturb her rest.”
“Oh heavens, Young Master.” Xiao Yuan crouched down and hugged Ye Xicheng. “How are you such a good child?”
Wen Jie was also staring at Ye Xicheng and recalled when her son would protect her with his small figure, and now her grandson was doing the same thing.
In truth, Gu Tianmu was not that cruel to her, at least he had given himself an excellent son.
Meanwhile, a frown appeared on Gu Tianmu’s face when his call was cut off earlier.
[We don’t want outsiders to bother our family too.]
Outsiders.
His biological grandson told him that he was an outsider.
Gu Tianmu clasped his hands, he knew Wen Jie was there or else Xiao Yuan would not speak like that, this child was protecting Wen Jie.
As for the reason for him to protect her, it was because the idea of him pestering his grandmother was drilled into his subconscious.
He, Gu Tianmu, was truly alone now.
Gu Tianmu chucked his phone aside, staring at the ceiling with his back against the chair.
‘Daddy, when will you come home? I got a red flower in school today, I want to give it to Daddy.’
Gu Tianmu covered his face with his palm. The child whose heart once had expectations was now replaced by hatred.
“Master, Doctor Tuto has arrived.”
Gu Tianmu took note of his butler’s words and opened his eyes, just to see a blond man with blue eyes walk in.
Tuto was Wen Jie’s head doctor these past few years, he only resigned as the Gu’s family doctor when Wen Jie left.
“Mr. Gu, you wanted to meet me?” Doctor Tuto’s Chinese was fluent from studying overseas in China, though his foreign accent remained.
“My wife was treated by you all this time, her condition wasn’t this bad a few years back, how did it become so terrible after she changed half of her liver?” Gu Tianmu asked in a deep voice.
Doctor Tuto gasped in disbelief. “Mr. Gu, you didn’t know? Mrs. Gu was injected with a chemical during her surgery. That chemical prevents any internal injury to heal.”
“What?” Gu Tianmu jumped out from his seat, obviously oblivious about it.
Doctor Tuto was certain Gu Tianmu did not receive any news about this from his reaction alone. “I thought Mrs. Gu told you, she knew about it.”
