Ye Yuwei went into the hotel room after waving goodbye to Qian Yikun who had sent her back. Her phone rang the moment she stepped into her hotel room. It was Gu Juexi.
“Check out the news, Ye Yuwei,” said Gu Juexi in an unfriendly tone.
Feeling confused, Ye Yuwei paused for a second before turning her notebook on and tutted when she saw the headline. “How nice is that, Mr. Gu? Weren’t you once a player of the game?”
Ye Yuwei could guess what it was without having to read the content.
“I am warning you, Ye Yuwei. Stay away from Qian Yikun,” said Gu Juexi angrily.
“Are you jealous?” Ye Yuwei closed her notebook and sat down at the side of her bed.
“Don’t be stupid, I am being serious,” said Gu Juexi again. “Qian Yikun is more than what you see.”
Ye Yuwei did not argue. She knew Gu Juexi would never insult someone personally, not to mention insult someone merely out of jealousy.
“Speaking of which, I wanted to ask you something, Gu Juexi. Is Bai Enterprise the core of the Bai family’s business?” Ye Yuwei asked suddenly.
“Bai Enterprise is only a cover where the Bai family launder their money. Their main business is their underground business,” said Gu Juexi.
“I knew it. Are you planning to take action against the Bai family?” Ye Yuwei jeered.
“Huh, have you learned to joke?” Gu Juexi scoffed. He didn’t appear mad. In fact, he actually felt proud of his woman who had finally learned.
“If you really want to know who the successor is, maybe you should ask…” Ye Yuwei faltered. Finding it difficult to call that woman her mother, she did not continue and lowered her gaze. “Ask Bai Ying, I am sure she knows.”
“There are too many watching Bai Ying. Asking her would be the same as telling the Bai family that Gu Juexi is making his move.” Gu Juexi sneered. “What kind of suggestion is that?”
“Do you know, Gu Juexi, you would be dead if it weren’t for your good looks,” said Ye Yuwei smilingly.
“It is because I am smart, Ye Yuwei. You think I rely on my face like you do with your not-so-pretty face?” A beeping sound came from the other end of the line before Gu Juexi could finish—Ye Yuwei had hung up the call. Gu Juexi looked at his phone in shock.
Ye Yuwei stared at her phone then tossed it onto her bed. Listening to Gu Juexi talk made her feel like getting a needle and stitching his lips together.
She stood up and went to the bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror. Her skin was white as snow and her lips red as blood, how was a face like that ugly?
Gu Juexi had very bad taste and it was annoying.
Ye Yuwei had received a few messages from Gu Juexi when she got out from the bathroom.
[It’s a bad habit to hang up calls like that, Ye Yuwei.]
[It’s a bad habit too to not let someone tell the truth, Ye Yuwei.]
[And so what for saying that you have a not-so-pretty face? I would be worried if you have a face like a movie star.]
[Last thing, don’t even think about going to the Bai family’s fortress.]
Ye Yuwei didn’t know what to say. The third message was actually quite sweet, but the last message made her feel uncertain. How did he know what she was thinking?
Ye Yuwei dialed Gu Juexi’s number as she thought. It didn’t take long for Gu Juexi to answer.
“You are old enough to know how you should utilize your brain, Ye Yuwei. Humans have a brain for a reason and hanging up calls isn’t one of them—” The call was ended again before Gu Juexi could finish.
