1742: Brother Gu Said, "Heart-wrenching, Is It Not?" (Part Three)

Brother Gu Said, "Heart-wrenching, Is It Not?" (Part Three)

At that time, Ye Yuwei even asked Gu Juexi, "Heart-wrenching, isn't it?"2

It really was.

People who had never donated a single cent stood up to ridicule donors for donating too little.

This was their so-called moral high ground.

"However, no matter what others say, you can't doubt Mo Fei." Ye Yuwei took a long pause before saying, "That's their moral high ground, not yours or mine."

Gu Juexi raised an eyebrow as he watched his wife muster up all her courage to reason with him. He had indeed protected her too well.

Yet, he was willing to keep overprotecting her in this manner.

"Things with Mo Fei aren't as simple as you think. I haven't found out who's backing her up yet. Do you know what this means?" Gu Juexi decided to stop discussing this heart-wrenching issue with his wife.

Ye Yuwei released all of her pent-up anger and shook her head.

"It's either extreme kindness or extreme evil. I hope that your intuition is correct," Gu Yuexi said as he closed the document in his hand. "Let's talk about the woman you let off now, shall we?"

Ye Yuwei, "..."

Ye Yuwei scratched her head and looked back at the door. "Why are you two here?"

"Mommy." Xi Xi walked away from the door and hugged Ye Yuwei's leg. "Mommy, will you bring me to see Brother Yuan Mo tomorrow?"

Ye Yuwei lifted Xi Xi and tapped gently on her little head. "We're going to the resort with Grandpa and Grandma tomorrow. We'll go see Brother Yuan Mo when we get back."

"Can we bring Brother Yuan Mo there?"

"No!"

Gu Juexi and Ye Xicheng spoke at the same time. Their voices were full of jealousy.

Xi Xi pouted and looked at them. "Why not?"

Ye Yuwei secretly rolled her eyes. These two vinegar buckets[1]. 

"That's because Brother Yuan Mo has to accompany his parents," Ye Yuwei explained.

Xi Xi's big eyes rolled around as she considered it. "Alright then."

She was indeed a gullible girl.

Le Tian ordered takeout at home because Ding Yuejia wanted to eat pizza.

Even Le Tian was amazed by Ding Yuejia's admiration for Mo Fei. Moreover, Mo Fei was also treating Ding Juejia very well.

During dinner, Le Tian and Ding Junqi quarreled over the phone. Meanwhile, Ding Yuejia calmly asked Mo Fei to eat pizza.

"You'll get used to it. They often quarrel," Ding Yuejia said.

Mo Fei, "..."

This brat was taking this entire situation with his parents really well.

"They fight and quarrel because they love each other. My uncle told me that." Ding Yuejia nodded seriously.

Mo Fei listened to the two who sounded like they could break into a fight through the phone anytime now. She was truly unconvinced that this had anything to do with love-fighting.

"Auntie, hurry up and eat. It'll get cold soon, and it won't taste good when it gets cold." As Ding Yuejia said that, he took the biggest slice and gave it to Mo Fei.

Mo Fei took the piece of hot pizza and asked, "Do you only have an uncle?"

"No, I have an aunt, but my grandma said that my aunt isn't home right now. But I don't know why she isn't home either. Grandma said that she would come home. Anyway, I've never seen her before." Ding Yuejia climbed onto Mo Fei's lap and whispered into her ear, "I think Grandma is lying, but my dad doesn't want me to say it because every time I mention my aunt, Grandma gets really sad."

Listening to his babyish voice, her fingernails pierced through the pizza crust.

[The reason that caused all this was your parents.]

[Because every time I mention my aunt, Grandma gets really sad.]

[1] In Mandarin, 'eating vinegar' means being jealous. Therefore, 'vinegar buckets' here refer to people who are always jealous.
