Ye Yuwei was not really willing to make the call because she was reluctant to involve Nalan Chunbo in this matter.
However, Gu Juexi had no intention of giving up at all. Even if she did not make the call, he would personally call him.
Ye Yuwei closed her chatbox with Xiao Yaojing and searched for Nalan Chunbo’s mobile number. Despite her reluctance, she had to make the call anyway.
The phone rang for a few moments before being picked up. It was obvious that Nalan Chunbo was already asleep somewhere overseas now.
“Why did you call me at this hour?” Nalan Chunbo’s tender voice could be heard from the other side. There was no hint of annoyance for disturbing his rest but only unconditional affection for Ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei turned to look at Gu Juexi but he did not say a word. She opened her mouth and said, “Some time ago, I went to Feng County and managed to find out about Auntie.”
Once Ye Yuwei finished speaking, laughter was heard from the other side of the line. “Didn’t you tell me this before? Why are you mentioning it again?”
Ye Yuwei continued staring at Gu Juexi. He was tapping his fingers on the table softly but he still remained silent.
“I think you never mentioned your father before.” Ye Yuwei tried to probe further.
This time, he went silent. There was such a long pause that Ye Yuwei assumed she would never get an answer from him.
Gu Juexi stopped tapping his fingers on the table, and observed Ye Yuwei with narrowed eyes.
“I’ve never seen him. I’ve never seen my own mother too. Why did you ask me about this all of a sudden?” Nalan Chunbo asked her with a chuckle. “Is it due to Gu Juexi’s request?”
It was really awkward when you were exposed by other people. Even though Nalan Chunbo could not see Ye Yuwei, she looked flustered.
Gu Juexi got up and snatched the phone. He immediately ended the call without saying a word.
“Hey…” Ye Yuwei quickly stood up to take her phone back. Looking at the screen of the ended conversation in disbelief, she snapped, “Gu Juexi, when will you learn manners?”
Gu Juexi glanced briefly at Ye Yuwei and said, “I was just trying to save you. You looked quite awkward.”
Ye Yuwei was left speechless.
She had no idea if he actually intended to rescue her at all.
“My aunt died due to difficult labour. It was impossible for him to meet her.” Ye Yuwei voiced out her view. “But who is his biological father?”
This was what Gu Juexi wanted to find out as well. Perhaps the past conflict could be solved after finding out who Nalan Chunbo’s father was.
Nalan Chunbo’s father was the person who started this misery from the beginning. He would find him no matter what.
The phone rang again. This time, it was Gu Juexi’s handset.
It was a call by PA Wen. Gu Juexi answered it instantly.
“CEO, maybe you need to come back.” PA Wen stated seriously. He sounded strict and there was a hint of urgency.
Gu Juexi frowned.
Ye Yuwei was confused as well. How was it possible for Gu Juexi to return now?
“What happened?” Gu Juexi’s voice was low as he demanded an explanation.
“Previously, Gu International’s stocks were purchased in bulk by Gu Enterprise. Due to the recent crisis of new city energy resources, Gu Enterprise’s stocks are affected. In fact, Chairman Qian will announce a new successor in the next few days and we have received their invitation. Chairman Qian has insisted on your presence at the banquet.” PA Wen quickly summarized it in a short breath. He knew that Gu Juexi usually did not have patience for a detailed conversation.
Ye Yuwei turned to look at Gu Juexi after she heard what PA Wen had said.
