[The old Mr. Gu has passed away.]
Ye Yuwei read the message and looked up in surprise, eyes wide in disbelief.
Gu Zhenjiang was dead.
Ye Yuwei stood up abruptly and ran towards the door. As she opened it, Gu Juexi switched off the television.
Ye Yuwei didn’t care what Gu Juexi was watching. She held the door and looked at Gu Juexi who turned around to look at her.
The old Mr. Gu has passed away,
Ye Yuwei said in a low voice.
Gu Juexi’s eyes darkened. He turned back around and picked up his phone as if it was no big deal.
Ye Yuwei pressed her lips together, letting go of the door and walking over.
Gu Juexi narrowed his eyes and twirled his phone aimlessly.
Ye Yuwei sat down beside him.
The old Mr. Gu has passed away; the will is in effect now. I don’t think Gu Tianmu will come for you anymore.
Before this, I thought Gu Tianmu didn’t like my mum. I thought he didn’t come home because of work,
Gu Juexi explained.
At the very least, he shouldn’t betray my mum.
Ye Yuwei placed her hand on Gu Juexi’s hand silently, unsure of what to say to comfort him.
Gu Juexi heart ached not for himself, but for his mother.
The Gu family always places priority on blood lineage. Do you think those people will let us off just because the old Mr. Gu passed away and the will came into effect?
Gu Juexi sneered.
The old Mr. Gu’s will states that Xicheng is the first inheritor, and it will remain that way unless Xicheng gives it up or disappears from the face of the earth.
Ye Yuwei’s grip on Gu Juexi’s hand tightened.
You’re saying that just for the sake of money they would—
Kill her son.
But Xicheng is their biological grandson.
Perhaps it isn’t comparable to his biological son.
Gu Juexi’s tone was cold but he turned his palm over and held Ye Yuwei’s hand.
Don’t worry. As long as I’m around, I won’t let anything happen to Xicheng.
Ye Yuwei naturally trusted Gu Juexi but she didn’t expect Gu Tianmu to be so ruthless. Gu Juexi was still his son.
Oh right, Auntie Mao said you had something to tell me.
Auntie Mao mentioned Gu Juexi didn’t tell her about it because he didn’t go back last night; perhaps it had something to do with Gu Tianmu.
Gu Juexi leaned back against the sofa and massaged his temples, looking exhausted.
Ye Yuwei was somewhat moved. This was the first time Gu Juexi had shown her his fatigued side. He was starting to let her in.
Who told you the old Mr. Gu passed away?
Gu Juexi asked suddenly.
Qian Yikun.
Ye Yuwei showed Gu Juexi the text message.
Gu Juexi didn’t look at the message. He believed Ye Yuwei but he didn’t believe Qian Yikun.
How did Qian Yikun find out about this before everyone else? He even informed Ye Yuwei, but perhaps Qian Yikun’s purpose had been to let him know in advance.
Qian Yikun definitely had a problem, and it was a huge one. That was not just a hunch, it was a fact.
It’s getting late, go get some rest.
Gu Juexi gripped Ye Yuwei’s hand to further stress his point.
