Ye Yuwei stared at him angrily but Gu Juexi didn’t even look at her.
Gu Juexi slowly stood up, looking down at Nalan Chunbo. “After we’ve found Wen Lan, I will make you pay back what you owe my mother a hundred times over.”
After we’ve found Wen Lan?
Ye Yuwei helped Nalan Chunbo get back on his feet. She stood up and ran to Gu Juexi’s side, grabbing his hand. “Gu Juexi, what is the meaning of this?”
Gu Juexi slowly brushed her hand aside, then turned to look at her. His cold eyes bored into hers, making her shiver in fear.
She had no idea what had gotten into him, why he suddenly had gone crazy. The fact that she didn’t even know why he was looking at her like that frustrated her even more.
“What a great family of Chinese medicine practitioners you have, Ye Yuwei. Your Ye family members are getting better at mind games,” Gu Juexi sneered sarcastically.
“Gu Juexi, what do you mean?” Feeling insulted, Ye Yuwei clenched her fists as she looked at the man in front of her. Hadn’t they promised to talk things out? What happened to that promise?
“Once we’ve found that tramp Wen Lan, I’ll tell you the answer.” Gu Juexi turned around and walked out.
Maybe he was afraid he would lose control and do something he would regret if he stayed.
Ye Yuwei’s body shuddered; her biggest fear had come true. She lifted her head and walked up the stairs swiftly. Ye Yuwei went into the room and picked up the photo that was lying among shards of glass.
After seeing the picture, she collapsed onto the ground.
The Ye family were famous Chinese medicine practitioners.
Wen Jie was poisoned right after her surgery which led to her constant suffering.
Ye Shu was the only person in the world who would treat Wen Jie nicely.
Mom’s elopement happened after Aunt got into the accident.
The only person who could make Mom not care about her image was Ye Di.
But—
Ye Yuwei lowered her head to look at the little girl in the photo frame. Her clear gaze unnerved Ye Yuwei.
She sat on the ground, unable to get back up. The one who had caused Mom a lifetime of suffering was Aunt.
The person they thought was the victim wasn’t innocent at all.
Her aunt was the one who made Gu Juexi’s mother live a life of pain and suffering. What little girl could be so cruel to make someone want death?
Everything had finally come together; everything had finally aligned.
But this truth was tearing at her heart, making it difficult to breathe.
A woman who had never been loved was willing to soil her own good name just to protect the person who was trying to destroy her.
Even until now, she protected the cruel woman and refused to expose her name.
All of this because Ye Shu once treated her kindly.
A glass shard cut her finger; the pain burned but it was nothing compared to the pain in Ye Yuwei’s heart.
Gu Juexi’s cold gaze had scared her.
Tears flowed down her face.
Ye Yuwei leaned against the door and started crying. Her sobs slowly turned into laughter. She hadn’t been able to connect the incidents, all because they had mislabelled the victim.
She laughed and laughed as tears rolled down her face. Her sorrowful laughter echoed within the room.
