989 If She Dies, I Die

Gu Juexi's body stiffened. He stared at his grandmother in dismay and asked indignantly, "What does all of this have to do with her?"

Madame Gu held her wheelchair's armrests tightly as her maid pushed her downstairs slowly along the wheelchair ramp.

"At that time, Ye Di almost ruined our family but your mother did everything she could to protect that wench, even if it would ruin her own reputation. Now, your mother has the nerve to allow Ye Yuwei into our family! Everyone in the Ye family are monsters!" She lashed out furiously, her face flushed in rage. "You love your mother, you adore her, but her tragedy is all because of the Ye family and Ye Yuwei's aunt is the main culprit."

Gu Juexi's hands curled into fists and he repeated, "What does this have to do with Ye Yuwei?"

"She is a Ye and part of that poisonous family," Madame Gu explained in a grating voice, "As long as I am alive, she and her family shouldn't even dream about stepping into the Gu family."

Gu Juexi's expression darkened and he glared at his grandmother who was slowly descending the ramp.

Madame Gu's wheelchair stopped in front of Gu Juexi. She looked up at her grandson adoringly with a hint of sorrow and continued, "Do you know how happy your father was when your mother had you? You were supposed to grow up happily with your parents' love and care, but everything was shattered because of that wench. Juexi, your misery was all caused by the Ye family. Whether it was Ye Di, or Ye Yuwei—"

"No," Gu Juexi interrupted hastily, but his body trembled in shock at the truth. "This has nothing to do with Ye Yuwei."

"She is Ye Shu's daughter, she has everything to do with this," Madame Gu growled, her old face full of ferocious hatred. "For your father, that is more than enough. It was the Ye family who brought catastrophe to him and his family, so do you really think that he will spare Ye Yuwei from his wrath?"

Gu Juexi turned around swiftly and went out the door.

"Juexi, since you are already deep into this investigation, you have to accept that Ye Yuwei must die," Madame Gu persisted, sounding resigned. "You probably have forgotten what your father is like; he will bite down hard on Ye Yuwei."

Gu Juexi returned his gaze to the old lady who had a hideous smile on her face and declared, "If she dies, I die." With that, he sprinted out of the house.

Madame Gu's smile disappeared instantly, and she frantically shouted, "Juexi, Juexi! Come back! Don't you dare!"

He was the only grandchild she had avowed, how could she let him die?

However, she knew her son better. His atrocious behavior was so horrifying, even she as his own mother was afraid of him. Because of the tragedy, it was no surprise that he would target his fury at Ye Yuwei, regardless of whoever who was in his way.

Gu Juexi was a maniac, simply because Gu Tianmu was a greater maniac.

When Gu Juexi left the house, he made a call and yelled into his phone, "I don't care how you get here but if anything happens to Ye Yuwei, I swear I will hand you over to Qian Yikun myself!"

"Are you crazy? What is wrong with you?" Mo Fei shrieked in a shrill voice as if she had bumped into a lunatic in the middle of the night in B City, "Damn it, aren't you with her right now?"

"I'm not," Gu Juexi asserted in his deep voice. He had to find Gu Tianmu before he could do anything to her.

Gu Juexi ended the call and tossed the phone onto the passenger seat. He stepped on the gas and sped off.

'Gu Tianmu, if you dare lay a finger on Ye Yuwei, I swear I will drag you down to hell myself.'
