1092: The Plan to Win the Mother-In-Law’s Heart

The Plan to Win the Mother-In-Law’s Heart

Ye Yuwei didn't have any comeback on the remark.2

Gu Juexi snatched the phone away from Ye Yuwei's hand and growled sternly into the phone, "It's better to save those words for your break up speech later."

"Gu Juexi—"

"Well, well, Mr. Gu, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." Xiao Yaojing didn't recoil nor was she surprised at Gu Juexi's threatening growl. She'd been acquaintances with him for many years and slaying him was as easy as snapping her fingers.

"Don't be too optimistic, these are the last days off that I'm giving Wen Tao. After he returns to work, he will not have any leave left," Gu Juexi threatened again in a chilling voice.

Ye Yuwei massaged her forehead in frustration. What should she do when her husband and best friend were arch-enemies?

Xiao Yaojing ended the call furiously.

Gu Juexi tossed the phone back to Ye Yuwei and went to the kitchen for a glass of water. "Don't mingle with her too much, she is a bad influence."

Ye Yuwei was speechless and thought, 'Shall I talk to PA Wen instead?'

She felt that she and PA Wen were on the same wavelength.

"Butler Kim, order someone to tidy up my mom's room, she will be discharged this evening," Gu Juexi instructed as he drank water by the kitchen door.

"Okay, I'll have someone on it right away." Butler Kim entered the house from outside and ordered two maids to Wen Jie's room as instructed.

Ye Yuwei leaned against the sofa comfortably and looked at Slayer Gu slowly walking toward her. "So, will you really give a speech at my university?"

With the glass of water in his hand, Gu Juexi sat next to Ye Yuwei and switched the television on to watch the morning news. "Do you really want me to go?"

Ye Yuwei grabbed a pillow and rolled her eyes at him. What did she have to do with his attendance?

"Mommy, Mommy—"

Ye Yuwei heard Ye Xicheng calling her from upstairs. She threw the pillow at him and huffed before she walked up the stairs, "It's up to you, I don't care."

Gu Juexi arched an eyebrow at her remark. Of course it was up to him, but she had a connection with the university. Therefore, the speech was a must, though it was not the main agenda.

In the meantime, PA Wen told his parents, "You've been here for some time, but I haven't taken you anywhere for leisure. My boss has permitted me a short break, so why don't I bring you for a short getaway nearby?"

The first response from Mrs. Wen was "The whats-her-name, will she be there?"

PA Wen had predicted this response. Hence, he composed himself and said, "Just you, Dad, and me. I hardly meet Shanshan lately, otherwise we'd all go together."

Mr. Wen raised his head to look at his son, then lowered it again to resume eating without a word.

Mrs. Wen listened to her son's answer and said with a satisfied smile, "Wen Tao, don't say I didn't warn you. You'll have a very hard life if you have a mother-in-law like her. I'm doing this for your own good."

"Yes, yes, yes, you're doing it for my own good," Wen Tao replied reluctantly.

"Since he has his rare break, let's go for the getaway then," Mr. Wen prompted.

PA Wen looked at his father with utmost adoration and appreciation.

Meanwhile, at the Xiao family, the same conversation was happening between Xiao Yaojing and Mrs. Xiao.

"Did you and Wen Tao come up with this?" Mrs. Xiao glared at her daughter skeptically.

"What can he and I come up with? It's because of you that his mother doesn't even want to see me. I just want to have a short break and relax. Do you want to come with me or not?" Xiao Yaojing exclaimed in a deliberate temperament.

Mr. Xiao arched his eyebrow suspiciously but remained quiet.

"Look at that family, look at who she married and how her life is. I hear that they are still staying in the countryside, are they not?" Mrs. Xiao snarled with a questionable frown.

"Mom, you are very rude." Xiao Yaojing's expression was filled with frustration.
