“But, but how could this…”
“Do you remember what happened in Feng County? Your dad was taken away by someone back then, and I said that it could only be either the Gu family or the Wen family who took him. So I made Qichuan look into it and he confirmed that it was the Wen Family who took your father away,” said Gu Juexi, “so it was perfectly normal that your father and my mother knew each other.”
Ye Yuwei’s heart sank. She could feel herself surrounded by coldness that chilled her to the bone. So her mother-in-law didn’t treat her like her own daughter because she donated her liver, but because she has a face that resembled Ye Shu’s.
This couldn’t be true, this couldn’t be true!
Ye Yuwei was shaking her head in denial.
“Calm down, Ye Yuwei,” Gu Juexi continued to hold Ye Yuwei’s hands as she was on the verge of breaking down, “about this…”
“How can I calm down?” Ye Yuwei demanded loudly as she jumped up from the bench, “it was a lie, you were all lying!”
“Who am I? I don’t even know who I am anymore. I only existed so that all of you could use me however you want,” Ye Yuwei shouted desperately while staggering backward.
“Wei Wei…” Gu Juexi got up from the bench too and tried to get closer to Ye Yuwei.
“Everyone was just lying to me,” Ye Yuwei snarled, taking another step backward. “My own parents used me to threaten you, my husband used me against Cheng Jie, and my mother-in-law used me to cozy up to my father.” Ye Yuwei laughed sarcastically. “The only one who didn’t use me was Gu Tianmu who hates my guts.”
“Just calm down and listen to me now.” Gu Juexi took a step forward and pulled Ye Yuwei into his arms, holding her tightly to stop her from struggling. “Listen to me, listen to me… the most important thing now is to find out what really happened to your aunt.”
A tragedy that started with Ye Di’s death. From Ye Shu leaving the Wen family, the relationship between Ye Shu and Wen Jie, the relationship between Wen Jie and Gu Tianmu, and the ultimate purpose of Ye Shu; all of it had started because of Ye Di.
Ye Yuwei was drenched in sweat from struggling. She rested her head on Gu Juexi’s shoulder, her hands holding his shirt tightly as she bit his shoulder in grief.
Gu Juexi allowed Ye Yuwei to do what she was doing. He knew that the truth was unacceptable to Ye Yuwei because she had been treating Wen Jie like her own mother while Wen Jie was just using her all this while.
Ye Yuwei once flipped out because Gu Juexi’s grandmother did something to Wen Jie. Now that she found out that Wen Jie was just using her, she was devastated.
Gu Juexi felt sorry for Ye Yuwei but he had no idea how to make her feel better.
The only thing that he could do for her was to find out the ultimate truth of what happened back then, and find Ye Shu.
“You don’t have to be anybody. You only have to remember that you are the wife of Gu Juexi, and that’s all that matters,” said Gu Juexi softly beside Ye Yuwei’s ear.
Ye Yuwei closed her eyes and let her tears fall onto Gu Juexi’s shoulder. She was not even his wife anymore now.
Ye Yuwei became the name of the loneliest person on earth.
Gu Juexi held Ye Yuwei tightly and listened to her mumbling getting softer and softer, and her breathing became lighter and lighter.
The door of Wen Jie’s room slowly closed shut. Wen Jie leaned against the door and her tears ran down her cheeks as she lifted her head.
