Hearing Aunt Gu’s words, Ye Yuwei started to panic. It was true that ‘the grass is not always greener on the other side’. Gu Juexi was extremely good compared to his father and grandfather.
“What did you say?” Wen Jie paused in her steps.
“It seems sister-in-law does not know about this.” Gu Tianxin’s tone was cynical as she beamed with pride.
“My brother has a second family outside. If not for grandpa’s concerns about family honor and bloodline, Gu Tianmu would not come to B City to take his grandson.”
“What Gu Tianmu does has nothing to do with us. Xicheng is my grandson, I will never let Gu Tianmu take him away. Aunt Gu, as you are aware, I am not interested in conflict. However, if you dare mess with me, I will not let you off easily. If you are after the assets of the Gu family, please go ahead but do not target my grandson or I. I will take it that I never met you today.” Wen Jie took a deep breath and left.
“Mom, if Gu Tianmu brings the little rascal back to the Gu family, the old chap will surely give all the assets to him.” Gu Tianxin stomped her foot after Wen Jie and Ye Yuwei left.
“I will not let that happen. I have been taking care of Gu Zhenjiang for years; I will not let all my efforts go down the drain.” Aunt Gu clenched her fists tightly.
At the time, Ye Yuwei and Wen Jie were resting in a café. Wen Jie’s face was terribly pale and Ye Yuwei simply did not know how to comfort her.
“Don’t you think my son is a good man? At least he has never done anything wrong to you.” Wen Jie put her hands around Xixi who was sitting on her lap as she looked at Ye Yuwei with a bright smile.
“Mom, have you really split up with Gu Tianmu?” Ye Yuwei asked earnestly.
“Of course. We were separated for quite some time. Don’t worry about me, I am fine. I never wondered why Gu Tianmu came to B City, but now I realize that Gu Zhenjiang must be running out of time. They are fighting over the inheritance.”
Ye Yuwei lowered her eyes, a dull feeling in her heart. There was nothing other than money in the eyes of the Gu family members.
“I never knew Gu Juexi had an aunt,” Ye Yuwei said thoughtfully.
“When Madame Gu was still healthy, Gu Zhenjiang could only hide it from her. Six years ago, when Juexi left the Gu family, Madame Gu suddenly fell sick. After that, Gu Zhenjiang was no longer afraid of her and brought his second family back to Gu Mansion,” Wen Jie said helplessly.
“Aunt Gu was young and pretty. She was only a teenager back then and had borne him a daughter. However, Madame Gu was not someone who was easy to deal with, so they moved out after that.”
Ye Yuwei raised her brows in surprise. She could not believe that the home wrecker would be so daring to stay in Gu Mansion with her daughter. It seemed that even a dominating woman like Madame Gu had suffered hardship all these years. However, ‘what goes around comes around’, and she now had to pay for the things she did.
“Gu Tianmu wants to take Xicheng away because of the inheritance. Now I understand why Gu Tianmu likes Bai Yuyan so much; she had something on me and I am Gu Juexi’s weakness.” Ye Yuwei had finally found the answer to the question that had always puzzled her. It was such an ironic answer.
