Gu Tianmu’s face turned pale, yet it was uncertain if it was because of Wen Jie’s medical condition, or the fact that she hid it from him.
Doctor Tuto casually shrugged. “The reason why Mrs. Gu is becoming weaker is because of the chemical those people injected in her.”
Gu Tianmu weakly raised his hand, allowing Doctor Tuto to leave.
After the butler showed Doctor Tuto to the door and returned to the study room, Gu Tianmu was still there.
“Master, a few executives are here to have a meeting. They’re waiting for you,” the butler stood by the door and spoke softly. At this rate, demise awaited the Gu family.
“Call Aunt Gu over.” As if he did not hear the butler, Gu Tianmu commanded him to do something entirely unrelated.
The butler sighed, but still turned and left the study room.
What significance would it bring to probe Mistress Gu’s past now?
When Aunt Gu entered the room, annoyance on her face. Her thoughts were written all over her face: Dad died and left barely anything for her, but although the Gu family was doomed, if she left now, she would get absolutely nothing.
“Gu Tianmu, what is the meaning of this? Dad left—”
“A few years back after Wen Jie’s surgery was done, you were the one who was taking care of Wen Lan,” Gu Tianmu cut her off suddenly.
Aunt Gu paused for a moment, as if she did not expect him to bring up something so insignificant, “So what? Wen Lan’s life span was depressingly short and even after taking Wen Jie’s liver, she still couldn’t make it.”
Gu Tianmu glared at Aunt Gu’s haughty expression, his hand balled into a fist. “What did you do to Wen Jie?”
Seemingly oblivious to Gu Tianmu’s intention, Aunt Gu flicked her pinky finger and sat on the couch. “What did we do? Wen Lan was scared you would marry Wen Jie, so she took her life. But it wasn’t expected that Wen Jie was tough to kill, and god punished her instead.”
Gu Tianmu rose from his seat suddenly, his hands firm on the desk.
A shiver ran through Aunt Gu’s body, yet she pretended to be calm and yelled, “What are you doing? I didn’t say anything wrong! Wen Jie was forced on the operating table, and you promised you’ll marry her. Of course that would cause Wen Lan to hate her. Whatever it is, Wen Lan’s aim was only making sure Wen Jie would never come out from that room alive.”
Gu Tianmu clutched his fist tightly, his eyes turning red.
Aunt Gu stared at him mockingly. “I might as well tell you everything now that I said this much. The thing about Wen Jie eloping with another person, it’s best for you to go to the hospital and ask your bedridden mother. Also, the stuff about Wen Jie giving birth to your children even though she was nearly dead, go and question that mother of yours too.”
Gu Tianmu’s grip was quivering, but he still remained calm.
Eloping; this was one issue he never wished to bring up in the past few decades.
“I, Ai Mijia, love money, love living a luxurious life, but at least I’ve never harmed anyone. Gu Tianmu, from the start to the end, you’re the one who’s the most pathetic human, not ‘one of the pathetic humans’.” Stone cold sentences formed from Aunt Gu’s lips, her hands planted on his desk. “Wen Jie deserves some sympathy, but she has a good son. What about you, what do you have?”
