Chapter 1163: That Gem Was Ominous

Ye Yuwei gave up trying to get any information from him. If Gu Juexi didn’t want to say something, he was never going to let it slip.

“By the way, did you manage to retrieve the sapphire that my father left behind?” asked Ye Yuwei. She would have asked for it a long time ago if it weren’t for the things that happened since they had gotten back.

She jumped off the cliff together with the sapphire back then, and she hadn’t seen it since.

Gu Juexi scoffed when he heard Ye Yuwei’s question. She had the cheek to ask about the sapphire! The sapphire was exactly why she fell into Bai Yuyan’s trap back then.

“What kind of reaction was that? Could you find it or not?” asked Ye Yuwei indignantly.

“That gem was ominous, why get it back? I would rather it stay under the sea,” said Gu Juexi emotionlessly. Ye Yuwei wouldn’t have jumped off the cliff if it weren’t for that sapphire.

Ye Yuwei was not the only case. Bai Yuyan who had been wearing the sapphire died by fate in the end, and it only made Gu Juexi more certain that it was an ominous gem.

“But that was something that my father left behind. It was the only thing that I had ever gotten from him,” said Ye Yuwei quietly.

The sapphire was found in the year Ye Yuwei jumped off the cliff. They couldn’t find Ye Yuwei during the search, but they had managed to find the sapphire. Not having the opportunity to give it back to Ye Yuwei, the sapphire was now lying in a safe.

Gu Juexi was going to cave in when Ye Yuwei sounded so sentimental.

“How was it ominous anyway?” asked Ye Yuwei who was not convinced.

“Your dad is gone, Bai Yuyan is gone, and even you were nearly gone because of that sapphire. It was as if everyone who once owned the sapphire was cursed. Does it still not look ominous to you?” Gu Juexi was not a superstitious man but he explained himself in detail when Ye Yuwei doubted him.

Ye Yuwei fell silent after what Gu Juexi said. Fine, maybe the stone seemed kind of ominous.

“Those were just coincidences, since when were you so superstitious?” Ye Yuwei demanded.

Gu Juexi growled when he realized that what Ye Yuwei said was true.

He remembered saying that his friend was superstitious when he told him about the blood diamond. He couldn’t believe that he was the one who couldn’t get over an ominous sapphire now.

“Forget it, I am going to get some sleep. You should get some sleep too,” said Ye Yuwei after touching her hair to make sure that it had dried.

She wasn’t really bothered about the sapphire. Although slightly regretful, she couldn’t just push Gu Juexi to locate it after it had been lost for so many years.

Gu Juexi ended the call after saying goodnight to Ye Yuwei and stared blankly at the ceiling from the bench in the corridor, his phone in his hand. As the rain got heavier, the pitter-patter of raindrops against the roof got louder and more distracting.

He knew what Ye Yuwei was trying to ask, but he had to keep every detail of the proposal a secret until the actual day so as to not spoil the surprise.

The acquisition of the island was in full swing. Because of the amount of money that was involved and the fact that Xiao Yaojing and PA Wen’s wedding was around the corner, Ye Yuwei monitored every stage of the fund transfer by herself to make sure that nothing went wrong. Eventually, Gu Juexi did make Xiao Yaojing show up at the bank towards the end, and his exact words were: I don’t care if you are getting married, don’t talk about it when my wife works overtime every day.

Xiao Yaojing was complaining in the bank about how inhumane Gu Juexi was for making her work.

“Why would you marry someone like that?” Xiao Yaojing turned her complaint into a question and threw it at Ye Yuwei.
