867: I Don’t Understand

I Don’t Understand

Ye Yuwei nodded and went to sit down beside Gu Juexi. "You will be comforting your daughter tomorrow. I can't handle her." 2

Gu Juexi heard Ye Yuwei and complained silently about her shirking her responsibilities. 

His daughter was perfect, except for her temper that was almost worse than his. 

"And by the way, I have spoken to my brother. It's pretty hectic at the bank now and he can't leave, but he said that my aunt passed away a very long time ago and he has never met her," said Ye Yuwei. 

"How old is Nalan Chunbo?" Gu Juexi stopped tapping his fingers on the table and asked. 

Ye Yuwei's mind went blank for a moment – she had never thought about it. 

Nalan Chunbo's age… 

"I have seen his passport, he is turning thirty-three this year," said Ye Yuwei. 

Thirty-three. Gu Juexi started tapping his fingers on the table again unconsciously. 

Ye Shu was fourteen and Ye Di was eleven forty-one years ago. That made Ye Di eighteen years old thirty-four years ago. 

Ye Di was eighteen when she was pregnant with Nalan Chunbo and passed away at the age of nineteen. Nalan Chunbo had followed Ye Yuwei to Bai Family then. 

No, something was not right. 

Gu Juexi clenched his fists when he noticed that the timeline of the story didn't add up. 

If the name that Gu Tianmu bought from Ai Mijia was Ye Shu, then Ye Shu must have left before he was born. But Ye Yuwei was only eighteen back then, while Ye Di was only fifteen. 

"Are you sure that Nalan Chunbo is thirty-three?" asked Gu Juexi again. 

"Yes, it says so on his passport. I am sure I got it right," said Ye Yuwei affirmatively. Not knowing why Gu Juexi asked about Nalan Chunbo's age, Ye Yuwei suggested to check with Nalan Chunbo. 

"Don't bother," Gu Juexi held on Ye Yuwei's wrist and said, "I was just curious, it's nothing important." 

"You should tell me if it has something to do with my father and aunt, Gu Juexi," Ye Yuwei said and sat down beside Gu Juexi again.

Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei. Her eyes were filled with innocence, but this whole incident might change that. 

"I haven't figured it out. Let's wait for his next hint," Gu Juexi said and held Ye Yuwei's hand. 

"I don't understand. Why can't he just show up if he is still alive? Why would he play all these games rather than talk about it face-to-face?" asked Ye Yuwei agitatedly. She was so close to losing it. 

"Maybe because I would want the better person to bring that person to justice," Gu Juexi let go of Ye Yuwei's hand and said while pouring himself some water casually. 

"What do you mean?" asked Ye Yuwei cluelessly.

"The Wen family, or the Gu family." Gu Juexi put the glass of water in front of Ye Yuwei. "All I could guess is that it was all for your aunt. Your aunt didn't die in an accident, and the culprit must be either the Wen family or the Gu family." 

Ye Yuwei's hand shuddered and she almost knocked over the glass of water. "The wealthy man that my grandfather said took away my father and aunt was from your family?" 

Gu Juexi was fidgeting with the glass of water and looked at Ye Yuwei. "Looks like you didn't inherit your father's intelligence." 

"Hey! Can you not get personal when we're talking about serious stuff?" Ye Yuwei angrily pushed away Gu Juexi's hand that was reaching out to stroke her hair, "explain to me now since you think I am stupid."
