1320: I Don’t Trust You

I Don’t Trust You

Ye Xicheng's declaration cheered Ye Yuwei up, and she chuckled delightedly. The only time she could catch her breath in this stifling house was when she was with her son.1

Ye Yuwei pulled her son into her warm embrace, planted a kiss on his little head and said, "Mummy is fine. When you grow up, protect the person you want to protect the most. Also, you want to become a soldier, remember? You need to protect the country. I have your daddy to protect me."

"But he upsets you," Ye Xicheng whined softly.

Ye Yuwei hugged her son tightly and said, "I'm unhappy because of a lot of things, it had nothing to do with your daddy. Besides, your daddy is trying his best to make me happy." She kissed his head again. "It will be over soon, real soon."

This matter would be over when Wen Lan and Ai Mijia were apprehended and taken to justice. When everything was over, this family would turn over a new leaf and start anew.

Ye Xicheng was confused but nodded anyway. As long as his mommy was fine as she claimed she was.

The doctor made a short visit to see Gu Tianmu. He had torn his wound open, but luckily it was not infected.

Since he was okay, Gu Tianmu was going to set his plans into motion.

Before Gu Juexi could react, Gu Tianmu had issued a press release, and it was reported all over the international news.

The former chairman of Gu Enterprise was going to host a lavish birthday party for Mrs. Gu.

The former chairman of Gu Enterprise, allegedly divorced, splurged lavishly on an extravagant birthday party for his ex-wife to win her smile.

After many years, the Gu Enterprise's chairman and his wife were remarrying soon.

***

...and so on and so forth. The news popped up on the headlines of major newspapers one after the other. Gu Juexi's recent hot topics were either about his wife or his father.

In conclusion, the Gu family was very lively lately.

[The fair Mrs. Wen: So, what is your father-in-law up to these days?

Yezi: Long story. I'll tell you when you get back from your honeymoon.

Yezi: All I can say is that this is the first time I've seen my father-in-law alive.

The fair Mrs. Wen: Did you see a ghost all this while?

Yezi: No, a living corpse.

Yezi: I feel like he is up in arms about this matter. After my uncle told Gu Juexi about this, my father-in-law beat him to the draw. Let me tell you, Mr. Gu Tianmu is starting his war.

The fair Mrs. Wen: I beg your pardon, your uncle?

The fair Mrs. Wen: Are you saying, your uncle is Nalan Chunbo's father?

Yezi: Yup, correct.

Yezi: So it somehow involves another issue that concerns your sister-in-law.

Yezi: There was an unexpected twist in my aunt's affairs, but my brother had totally offended your sister-in-law.

The fair Mrs. Wen: Wait a minute, there is too much information to process. I only went away for a honeymoon, what the hell are all of you doing in B City?]

Ye Yuwei looked at Xiao Yaojing's messages. She also wondered who actually triggered this chain of events.

As she followed his progress, Ye Yuwei witnessed Gu Tianmu's remarkable capabilities that definitely surpassed Gu Juexi's. Within a week, Gu Tianmu had personally organized and managed every little detail in Wen Jie's birthday party. He didn't even let Gu Juexi intervene regarding the selection of bodyguards with one simple reason: I don't trust you.

Wonderful, Gu Juexi had inherited one of the unique characteristics of his father: trusting no one but himself.
