Gu International’s collapse happened in barely a second, taking everyone by surprise.
Ye Xicheng noticed his grandmother answer a call. It was not the grandfather he despised calling, but after that call, his grandmother seemed even worse.

Those who came this far received their own punishment. You, who deliberately took away the stocks which have now become worthless, are none of my business,
Wen Jie said softly, leaning back against the sofa.
What the person on the other side of the phone replied was unknown, but it made Wen Jie laugh.
Father? The person who cooperated with strangers to harm me is now claiming to be my father?

Xixi was about to say something but noticed her brother putting a finger to his lips, indicating that she should keep quiet. She blinked but told her brother in a soft voice,
I miss Daddy and Mommy, when are they coming back?



Ye Xicheng caressed his little sister’s head.
They’re coming back later.


I wanted to ask you something too. For you, is money more important than your family?
Wen Jie asked sadly.
Maybe I’m picking a fight for asking, but after all, money is always more important than your family in your world.

Xiao Yuan gently placed a glass of water in front of Wen Jie, her eyes filled with helplessness.

So you’re destined to go bankrupt today. As for Gu Tianmu’s actions, whatever he does is none of my concern,
Wen Jie said and ended the call instantly, as if she did not care about the other person’s rage.

Madam, please drink some water,
Xiao Yuan said.
Wen Jie put her phone down on the table and leaned against the sofa.
Xiao Yuan, is money really that important?

This question troubled Xiao Yuan as she did not know how to answer it. People like her worked as servants for money anyway, didn’t they?

We earn money to give our family a better life. I think, naturally, money is more important,
Xiao Yuan replied softly.
Wen Jie stared at her servant who had followed her for ten years. She knew her family consisted of an elderly grandmother and a son who was going to college soon, and they were always waiting for Xiao Yuan’s monthly income.
But what about the Gu family? Or the Wen family?


There were people out there who had a lifetime of wealth, yet they still wished for more.

Madam, if I may say so, please don’t worry so much. Young Master and Young Mistress both treat you with filial piety, and your grandchildren are so cute, so why not think about the good things instead?
Xiao Yuan advised Wen Jie.

But those people still refuse to let me go,
Wen Jie replied with a bitter smile on her face.
If Juexi and Weiwei were harmed because of me, I would never forgive myself.

Wen Jie gazed at the two chattering children in the distance, the unease in her heart growing heavier.
There was an invisible hand that was approaching her life, and it was determined to dig out all the unspoken matters that she never wanted to bring up. It was as though someone could not stand Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei getting along with each other, and wished to tear everything apart.
For the following days, Gu Juexi was forced to recover in the hospital under Ye Yuwei’s orders. PA Wen had much more spare time recently, yet his mind was occupied.
This was simply because Xiao Yaojing did not pick up his calls and refused to meet him.
He knew Xiao Yaojing had quit her job but when he visited her house, she was not there.
After work, PA Wen drove to Xiao Yaojing’s neighbourhood. He did not leave his car and waited for Xiao Yaojing to return. Though he was unsure if he would encounter her, he still waited, as there was nothing else for him to do.
