The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

You investigate someone if they become an eyesore?

Mr. Gu, you have quite a creepy hobby.

“After that, I found out that this woman didn’t stop her actions even after she left the company, so I had someone send her to Africa,” Gu Juexi shrugged his shoulders, as though he was merely describing the weather.

“She didn’t stop? Do you mean all this while, she had hired someone to kill me?” Ye Yuwei asked, unconsciously touching her neck. In her opinion, it must be true love that held her and Gu Juexi together.

Gu Juexi raised an eyebrow.

“What about Africa?” Ye Yuwei asked and stared at him skeptically.

“Business, purely business.” Gu Juexi cleared his throat and coughed awkwardly, not intending to explain anything further. “But credit where credit’s due, I didn’t expect she would be so efficient that she slipped away under my watch.”

Ye Yuwei squinted at him skeptically. Someone who was capable of escaping from Gu Juexi’s grip and grasped the knowledge of the matter they were investigating now…

“Tell me honestly, your father is a part of this, isn’t he?”

After all, Gu Tianmu had hated her since forever.

Gu Juexi’s expression darkened. Ye Yuwei chuckled, “The oblivious would think he has a deep affection towards Mom.”

Upon hearing that, Gu Juexi gripped the glass so tightly it shattered in his hand.

Ye Yuwei was startled. She quickly grabbed his palm and shouted, “What are you doing?”

Luckily, his palm was unharmed from the glass.

The flash of hatred in Gu Juexi’s eyes disappeared in a split second.

The thing that he feared was not the problem between his parents, but the problem between Ye Shu and his mother.

So he couldn’t control his emotions when Ye Yuwei mentioned it.

“I’m okay. Had you called Mom? When will they arrive?” Gu Juexi composed himself and asked.

“Yes, I’ve called. They will arrive at 1 pm tomorrow, I told Mom we will pick them up,” Ye Yuwei explained. She examined Gu Juexi’s palm thoroughly, relieved when she found no injuries.

Gu Juexi nodded in acknowledgement and looked at Ye Yuwei picking up the broken glasses. “Don’t you worry about Lin Ximei, she is not that competent enough to stir up more trouble.”

“It is out of my hands even if I want to get involved.” Ye Yuwei threw the broken glasses into the trash bin. “Anyway, I don’t think I landed in deep water with Lin Ximei, but why does your father want to go after me? Is it because I asked Mom to divorce him?”

Ye Yuwei felt that her old father-in-law was being absurd. No matter if the divorce was her or Gu Juexi’s idea, as an elder, Gu Tianmu shouldn’t treat her so badly.

As Ye Yuwei was talking, Gu Juexi’s hand clenched into a fist again.

Yes, Father’s hostility against Ye Yuwei was not simply because of the statement she threw at him He was not so petty.

It was because of Ye Shu.

“Why do you care so much? As long as you stay by my side, he can’t harm you,” Gu Juexi said. He unclenched his fist, got to his feet and stretched.

Ye Yuwei watched the man who was walking around the room stretching and sensed that his body was radiating unsuppressed rage.

Ye Yuwei lowered her gaze slowly. She put the broom back and continued sorting out the herbs and medicine.

Gu Juexi stopped mid-way. Realizing and regretting his irritating tone earlier, he walked and sat by her side.

“My dear wife, I have too many problems lately, so my tone is not—”

“Is it too many problems, or do you have a bone to pick with me?” Ye Yuwei lifted her gaze and looked at the man standing in front of her.
