650: Wen Jie’s Illness

Wen Jie’s Illness

Ye Yuwei held her bowl and wondered why Gu Juexi was being so chatty. 1

Ye Yuwei thought hard about how she reunited with Qian Yikun—it was too long ago. 

"I was working as a waitress at a hotel after these two were delivered and Qian Yikun happened to be dining at that hotel," Ye Yuwei recalled. 

Gu Juexi's hand trembled when he heard that Ye Yuwei once worked as a waitress. 

He really had to redeem himself with the three of them. 

"And then Qian Yikun offered you a job at his company?" Gu Juexi calmed himself and asked. 

"Yes. He said Qian Feng Enterprise was preparing for an initial public offering. He trusted my ability and hoped that I could join the company's accounts team. I needed money back then and I didn't want to keep taking my brother's. It was a well-paid job and the job scope was something I was familiar with, so I agreed," Ye Yuwei explained then frowned. "Why?" 

"I'm bored," Gu Juexi got what he wanted so he began to act childishly again. 

Ye Yuwei took a deep breath and looked at the man in front of her. "Do your work if you are so free; make sure the launching of the resort isn't delayed because of you."

"Do you know what you are saying, Ye Yuwei? You own half of the shares in Gu Enterprise, are you really so happy to be working for our main rival?" Gu Juexi asked coldly. 

Main rival? She didn't know Qian Feng Enterprise was their main rival now. 

"Are you not ashamed to say that, Mr. Gu? Would you be happy if I told you that your main rival raised your son and daughter?" Ye Yuwei retorted. 

Gu Juexi could feel himself getting angry but did not say anything.

Gu Juexi had lost this round, and it was obvious that he knew it when he drove to work without offering Ye Yuwei a lift. 

Ye Yuwei was speechless at how childish the man was, and her kindness was the only explanation as to how the man had actually managed to get himself a wife. 

Ye Yuwei went upstairs to check on Wen Jie after breakfast. Wen Jie was sitting on her bed, reading. She smiled when she saw Ye Yuwei entering the room. "Come here, Weiwei. Are you not going to work today?" 

"I will go in a bit. How are you feeling, Mom?" Ye Yuwei asked as she sat down beside Wen Jie. "I can tell that your condition has worsened again." 

"It's probably because of the weather," Wen Jie said and reached out to hold Ye Yuwei's hands. "Mom will be fine, so stop worrying. Didn't Juexi wait for you? I heard someone leave in a car." 

Ye Yuwei curled her lip and Wen Jie being Gu Juexi's mother immediately understood what had happened. She didn't know what to say. 

"Gu Juexi can be quite childish at times, don't bother about him," Wen Jie comforted Ye Yuwei.

How was that "quite" childish? He was being extremely childish!

"I am fine, Mom," said Ye Yuwei. "Would you want to tag along when I take Xixi to Master Yao Lao next month? Maybe she will be able to help."

"I don't hope for anything now that I have been ill for so long," Wen Jie smiled. "I am happy enough to be able to see Xicheng and Xixi. So even if I had to…" 

"Stop that, Mom," Ye Yuwei interrupted quickly. 

"I was just telling the truth. I hardly felt well since I married into the Gu family, maybe I shouldn't have got into the Gu family in the first place." Wen Jie sighed. "Gu Tianmu and Ai Mijia probably wouldn't be how they are now if I didn't marry Gu Tianmu."
