789: Could It Be Your Mother?

Could It Be Your Mother?

"Why would your father check on the father of your wife?" Yu Jiangqing asked, confused.1

Gu Juexi was wondering the same thing. 

Was Gu Tianmu was trying to use Ye Shu to separate Ye Yuwei and him? That obviously wouldn't work though since the Bai Family had been torn apart. 

So what was Gu Tianmu up to? 

"Something smells fishy, Boss. We took down the Bai Family but it seems like the affairs of the Gu Family aren't stopping," said Yu Jiangqing as he watched Gu Juexi taking the documents out of the bag. The first thing he held was a photo of Ye Shu. 

Gu Juexi looked closely at the man in the photo. He was quite handsome and looked a lot like Ye Yuwei. 

"I am sure that he was the one I saw. His face might look different but they have the same eyes," said Yu Jiangqing, "Ye Shu is alive, or at least he was six years ago."

Gu Juexi squinted at the man in the photo – he had cold eyes filled with ambition and pride. 

It was undeniable that Ye Shu and his intelligence were one in a million, but his daughter – Ye Yuwei was more of a wuss when he first met her. 

"Ai Mijia mentioned a name earlier, a name that Gu Tianmu spent billions to buy. Find out who that person is," ordered Gu Juexi. He skimmed through all the documents in the bag then returned everything to Yu Jiangqing. 

"You father went after Ye Shu after Ai Mijia mentioned the name, anything ringing a bell?" Yu Jiangqing scoffed as he took the bag and sealed it, "I can't see the connection between your father and Ye Shu though, except for the fact that they are in-laws." 

"I wouldn't send you if I knew who it was," Gu Juexi shot Yu Jiangqing a glare and continued, "keep this from Ye Yuwei." 

Yu Jiangqing raised his brows. He had never been the nosey type who interfered with a husband and wife. 

"Can I have a pen?" Gu Juexi asked as he reached out to take a piece of paper, and begin drawing after Yu Jiangqing passed him a pen. 

Everything was only about Ye Shu before Gu Tianmu came into play, and what linked them together was Ye Yuwei and him. Then again, Ye Shu and Gu Tianmu couldn't be linked just because of Ye Yuwei and him. There must be something or someone else. The question is, who or what was it? 

Gu Tianmu had been laying low for so long that Gu Juexi forgot what his father was really like, and it worried Gu Juexi that Gu Tianmu was looking for Ye Shu. His relationship with Ye Yuwei was fragile enough to begin with, he can't afford anything else going wrong. 

"Could it be your mother?" 

"Nonsense," Gu Juexi rejected the idea immediately, "my mother stays at home all day, how could she be involved?" 

Yu Jiangqing shrugged. He suggested the idea because it wasn't entirely impossible. From what he saw, Gu Tianmu's emotions could only be shaken by someone he truly cared about. It could only be Wen Jie if it wasn't one of his lovers. 

It was a reasonable deduction but Gu Juexi was obviously not seeing it. 

"One of your father's lovers?" asked Yu Jiangqing again. 

"There aren't any," said Gu Juexi through clenched teeth. He told PA Wen to check that and the truth was unacceptable.

So Wen Jie should be the one they were looking for. "I think you should talk to your mother about this. What if she knows something?" Yu Jiangqing suggested, tutting at Gu Juexi's denial.
