586: Your Girl is Waiting For You V

Your Girl is Waiting For You V

Gu Juexi was eating his porridge very slowly, and eventually he stopped eating completely. 2

"There was a plate hanging in Master Yao Lao's yard, it said "the late father of He's."

Gu Juexi said it so casually but Ye Yuwei was stunned at the information. 

"Do you mean..." Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi who gently put down his chopsticks.

"Master Yao Lao is He Liao's mother," said Gu Juexi with a heavy heart. 

Ye Yuwei's hand that was holding the chopsticks shivered and hit the bowl, making a grating sound like a knife stabbing her heart.

That was why Gu Juexi had agreed when Master Yao Lao told them to go down the hill. 

"So Master Yao Lao might refuse to treat Xixi. That was probably why she let us in earlier," said Gu Juexi quietly. 

Ye Yuwei dropped her chopsticks onto the table loudly and her hands trembled uncontrollably. 

Master Yao Lao let Gu Juexi in to tell him that he made it back but her son didn't. So why should she save his daughter now?

Ye Yuwei jumped when Gu Juexi reached out to hold her cold hands, and withdrew them quickly, leaving his hand suspended mid-air. Gu Juexi clenched his fists and drew back his hand. "I will think of a way. I will have her treat Xixi no matter what." 

Ye Yuwei wanted to scream at everything that had happened but she couldn't. The children were in the room and she had to calm herself down. 

"Gu Juexi, is making my life difficult not enough? Xixi is your daughter…" Ye Yuwei said. She knew that it was not Gu Juexi's fault, but she couldn't help but blame him. 

Gu Juexi lowered his eyes without a word. 

Not knowing what they were fighting about, Ye Xicheng turned to look at them curiously.

Ye Yuwei looked up as tears ran down her cheeks. Master Yao Lao was her only hope, and Gu Juexi had just burst her bubble. 

Gu Juexi clenched his fists and got up from the stool. He grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom, and soon came out changed. 

Ye Yuwei was still sitting in the same position at the side of the table, trying her best to calm herself down. 

 "Take care of them, I will be back tomorrow morning." Gu Juexi gazed at her and said before he left the room. 

"What's wrong, Mommy?" Ye Xicheng quickly went to his mother's side right after Gu Juexi left. 

Ye Yuwei reached out and held Ye Xicheng in her arms tightly. 

A thunderstorm hit the area at midnight. Ye Xicheng couldn't keep himself awake and fell asleep in Ye Yuwei's arms. 

Ye Yuwei took care of Xixi who wasn't sleeping well while carrying Ye Xicheng in her arms. She knew that Gu Juexi had gone to see Master Yao Lao. Remembering how Gu Juexi had kneeled before Master Yao Lao for Xixi, it was not hard to tell that he would beg Master Yao Lao again. 

Ye Yuwei didn't close her eyes the whole night. She heard a commotion outside the hotel at one point, but it got quiet after a while. She waited until the next morning for Gu Juexi but he did not come back. 

Ye Yuwei forced herself to stay awake. She woke her children and fed them before heading up the hill and received the news just as she was leaving the hotel. 

"You can't go there. The hill flooded and collapsed, didn't you hear it last night? The soldiers of the army nearby were there overnight for the rescue," said the receptionist. "It is always this time of the year that something happens."
