“Wei Wei…” Gu Juexi called out when Ye Yuwei turned around to leave.
Gu Juexi was going to go after Ye Yuwei when Ye Xicheng stopped him to tell him that Xixi was crying and wanted to take out the needles on her.
Gu Juexi cursed and went to Xixi’s bedroom to comfort his crying daughter.
Ye Yuwei left the house with the information she overheard running through her head. Her aunt’s death wasn’t an accident, Gu Juexi’s family caused her aunt’s death.
Even though Gu Juexi had mentioned it to her before, she found it unacceptable when she heard it herself.
Ye Yuwei went to the river and tried her best to calm her mind. Her aunt’s death had nothing to do with Gu Juexi. Her aunt’s death had nothing to do with Gu Juexi, and Gu Juexi was trying his best to investigate the truth.
Ye Yuwei heard grass rustling behind her as she was deep in thought.
“Who’s there?” Ye Yuwei demanded, turning to look behind her. She stared into the dark while walking backwards unconsciously.
Ye Yuwei clenched her fists and looked around when the shadow in the dark emerged into the light.
“Who are you?” asked Ye Yuwei.
“Who I am is not important. You should know by now that there are unresolvable grudges between the Ye Family and the Gu Family, and things between you and Gu Juexi must come to an end,” said the mysterious man with a magnetic voice, his hands behind his back.
“You are the man who saved me the other day! Have you been following me?” asked Ye Yuwei as if she didn’t hear what the man said, “Where is my father? You know him, where is he?”
The man frowned when he heard Ye Yuwei. “You will find out where your father is eventually. For now, leave Gu Juexi.”
Leave Gu Juexi?
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Ye Yuwei scoffed, “if you have been following me, why didn’t you stop me when I decided to come back?”
The mysterious man kept quiet and Ye Yuwei walked closer to him. “Can’t answer that? Then I will answer it for you. You needed Gu Juexi to find out what really happened to my aunt, and the only one who could make him do that is me,” said Ye Yuwei clearly, “you needed me to make Gu Juexi take down the Bai family earlier, and you need the same for the Gu family now. Am I right?”
Ye Yuwei was standing one step away from the man. “Tell Ye Shu. He used Gu Juexi to ruin the Bai family, and is trying to use Gu Juexi again to ruin both the Gu family and the Wen family, while trying to convince me to leave Gu Juexi. Tell him to not even think about it.”
The man squinted at Ye Yuwei and hesitated when he was going to say something. He took out his phone and dialed Ye Yuwei’s number, and then hung up after the call went through. “Your father would never do anything to harm you. Call me if you ever want to leave one day, and I will come to take you away.”
The man left.
Ye Yuwei held her phone in her hand, feeling overwhelmed.
The death of her aunt, the change in Gu Tianmu. Ye Yuwei could feel so many clues about what really happened back then in her head but she couldn’t seem to hold on to the one that could lead her to the answer.
Gu Juexi didn’t manage to calm Xixi even with the rabbit in his arms. He paced in Xixi’s room, and began to feel anxious when Ye Yuwei hadn’t returned after an hour. He was worried about Ye Yuwei but at the same time he couldn’t leave Xixi alone.
Gu Juexi was carrying Xixi who was still crying out of the room when he heard someone coming into the house. Xixi’s voice had turned hoarse after crying for so long.
“Will you stop lying to me, Gu Juexi?” asked Ye Yuwei, standing by the door.
