1319 The Stifling House

Gu Tianmu hung his head low. There were some bloodstains on his shirt sleeve, indicating he had reopened his wound, but he didn't seem to care.

Wen Jie shivered in rage, the blood drained from her face.

"Mom, you—"

"You too, shut up!" Wen Jie snarled furiously, cutting him off.

Gu Juexi was taken by surprise and froze. This was the first time his mother had scolded him.

The only person who treated him with respect and loved him since he was young was his mother. She was always so gentle and loving, she spoke to him softly and taught him to reason. This was the first time that Wen Jie had spoken to him so harshly.

He, however, could not argue.

Gu Juexi curled his hands into tight fists and lowered his gaze like Gu Tianmu.

Ye Yuwei kept silent because she was also at fault, and her fault was much worse than Gu Juexi's.

"Mom, take a seat first." Ye Yuwei quickly helped Wen Jie sit on the sofa when she felt her body trembling. "You are not well, don't get worked up because of your anger."

At that moment, Wen Jie felt light-headed and dizzy too, so she leaned back against the sofa.

"She was just a child, what did she do to you, honestly? Why don't you just let her go? What do you want from her?" Wen Jie growled. She felt a sharp pain in her liver area, but she endured it.

Ye Yuwei rushed away to get the medicine, then came back and kneeled beside Wen Jie, putting the medicine in her hand. "Mom—"

Wen Jie looked at the medicine and grinned suddenly. Her grin looked bitter and heartbroken.

"Mom, I promise you, I will give you closure regarding this matter. As for Wen Lan and Ai Mijia, I will make them pay for this," Gu Juexi kneeled beside the sofa and said in a stern yet gentle voice. It was a promise for Wen Jie and also for Ye Yuwei.

After Gu Tianmu revealed everything to Wen Jie, he never spoke a word. He had a massive wound on his body that hurt immensely, but the most painful thing right now was his heart.

Ye Di and Ai Mijia had nothing to do with him, but they had made his life a complete mess.

Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi helped Wen Jie return to her room due to her bad condition. Gu Tianmu was sitting alone in the living hall, having effectively scared everyone away. The first person to spot Gu Tianmu's bleeding wound was Ye Yuwei.

Ye Yuwei didn't approach Gu Tianmu. Instead, she called for Butler Kim and asked him to bring the doctor in.

Butler Kim heaved a sigh and went out of the house to fetch the doctor.

Ye Yuwei scanned the house, the rather empty and unspeakably scary house.

Gu Juexi was looking after Wen Jie in her room. Ye Yuwei went to the children's room.

The children might have heard the loud commotion downstairs.

The second Ye Yuwei went into their room, Xixi and Ye Xicheng sprinted over and hugged her legs tightly, looking up at her fearfully. Ye Yuwei reached down and stroked their little heads tenderly. "Auntie Qian, please take Xixi downstairs to take care of Father, he is not feeling well."

Xixi was Gu Tianmu's favorite. She was also a happy-go-lucky girl with an upbeat attitude who would definitely cheer him up, so sending her downstairs was a wise idea.

"Grandpa is not feeling well, so take good care of Grandpa, okay?" Ye Yuwei said to her daughter gently.

Although Xixi couldn't comprehend the situation, she felt bad for her grandpa, so she nodded and followed Auntie Qian.

After Xixi left the room, Ye Yuwei heaved a heavy sigh and sat by the bed.

Ye Xicheng frowned and went over to his mommy, curling his little arms around her neck.

"Mummy, you still have me. I will protect you when I grow up," Ye Xicheng declared earnestly. Although he couldn't comprehend what had happened as well, he knew his mommy was upset.
