Chapter 648 - He Would Do Anything for Ye Yuwei

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Juexi went to Wen Jie’s room after Ye Yuwei and the kids went downstairs.

There could be only one reason why Wen Jie didn’t join them in the kids’ room—she was not feeling well again.

Wen Jie was lying in bed when Gu Juexi knocked on the door and went in. Gu Juexi walked over and sat down at the side of the bed, reaching out to feel his mother’s temperature. “Are you okay, Mom?”

“I am fine. How is Xixi, is she still crying?” Wen Jie held Gu Juexi’s hand and tried to make herself look alright.

“She is fine. Ye Yuwei took her down for lunch,” said Gu Juexi softly.

Wen Jie nodded and sat upright with Gu Juexi’s help. “Have you got the news that your grandfather passed away?”

Gu Juexi’s body tensed and he nodded curtly.

Wen Jie sighed. “Juexi, your grandmother...”

“How is grandma Gu Tianmu’s responsibility, Mom?” Gu Juexi snapped.

“I know you are mad at how your grandmother treated Weiwei, Juexi,” said Wen Jie seriously.

Meanwhile, Ye Yuwei had taken care of her daughter and wanted to check on her mother-in-law. She stood outside Wen Jie’s room and listened to the conversation.

“I agree that the way your grandmother treated Weiwei was unbearable, but you can’t deny the fact that she is your grandmother. Who will take care of her now that she stays alone at Aunt Gu’s place?” Wen Jie asked gently.

“I spoke to Grandma while she was at Gu Mansion, Mom, and what did she say?” Gu Juexi scoffed, defending his stand as always. “Plus, I don’t believe Ai Mijia dares to go against Gu Tianmu no matter brave she is. I shouldn’t get myself involved if Gu Tianmu would rather stand up for Ai Mijia than his own mother.”

Wen Jie raised her hand slightly and wanted to say something, but put her hand down eventually. “Forget it then. The Gu family shouldn’t have anything to do with us anyway.”

“You have done your best for the Gu family, Mom, so stop worrying about them. I knew how Grandma treated you all those years,” Gu Juexi murmured, lowering his gaze. “I will never let her have the chance to humiliate you or Ye Yuwei.”

Ye Yuwei decided against knocking the door and went downstairs quietly.

Wen Jie let out a sigh and gave up convincing Gu Juexi. Her only concern was that Aunt Gu might use the old mistress to attack Gu Juexi and to accuse him of being unfilial.

Now that Gu Juexi insisted on not getting involved in the Gu family’s business, she knew that how the old mistress treated Ye Yuwei had been the last straw.

Ye Yuwei was it for Gu Juexi; he would do anything for her even if it meant giving himself a bad name.

“Alright then, go have your lunch. Can you see Auntie Mao later? There is something she wanted to tell you,” Wen Jie said, coughing softly.

“Should I get Dr. Qiu, Mom?” Gu Juexi asked, tucking in the blanket properly for his mother.

“It’s just the weather, don’t bother. I have recovered so much these years so don’t worry and go have your lunch,” Wen Jie said smilingly. It was true; her health was much better, especially after they had separated from the Gu family.

Gu Juexi nodded and got up from the bed. “I will get Auntie Yuan to bring you your lunch,” Gu Juexi said and left after Wen Jie nodded.

Wen Jie leaned against the bedframe and patted her chest, then took her medicine that was on the table.
