Gu Juexi laid on top of Ye Yuwei for a brief moment before flipping himself over to her side. He reached out his arms and pulled her into his embrace while gently whispering his apology.
Ye Yuwei’s body ached but after seeing Gu Jiexi’s gestures, she felt that it was worth it to just endure it all.
“So, what happened?” Ye Yuwei asked gently, reaching out to smooth his creased forehead.
Gu Juexi gathered his thoughts and hugged Ye Yuwei tightly. “My grandmother admitted that she was the one who killed your aunt.”
Ye Yuwei’s hand stopped for a moment. Although she was mentally prepared for the truth, she still found it difficult to accept that fact.
It didn’t matter whether it was the Wen family or the Gu family that killed her aunt, she knew it would still have something to do with Gu Juexi.
That’s why she told herself that Gu Juexi had no connection with those people, but when she heard those words, her heart was unable to suppress its hatred.
Gu Juexi grabbed her hands as she was about to pull away from his face. “You promised me. Please keep your promise.” Gu Juexi said hastily as if he was afraid that she would just get up and leave.
Ye Yuwei was at a loss for words, all she did was stare at his face.
“Do you remember Ai Mijia once said that my dad has a bastard child out there?” Gu Juexi broke the silence.
“But… Wasn’t that just a hoax?” Ye Yuwei’s voice wavered. Her desire to listen has faded.
“What we hypothesized in the past was wrong. If my grandmother was able to kill your aunt, then why did she let a helpless child go?” Gu Juexi’s body tensed as he spoke.
“It doesn’t matter if it was my paternal grandfather or my maternal grandfather, it shouldn’t have involved her, unless…”
“My brother is indeed her grandson.” Ye Yuwei spoke while trying to push herself up. She wrapped her hands around her head as she continued, “Impossible, it’s simply impossible.”
Suddenly, she turned to Gu Juexi and grabbed his arm. “Your father has never met my aunt, he doesn’t even know my father. How can it be possible?”
Gu Juexi stared at the emotional Ye Yuwei, knowing well that she was finding it difficult to accept the fact. Even Gu Juexi himself was finding it difficult to gather his thoughts.
This was the matter that they needed to investigate. This was the incident that Ye Shu allowed them to investigate.
Ye Shu used himself to make their grandfather anxious, which led to his grandfather hitting Ye Yuwei. At the same time, this incident had made his father decide to stop avoiding the issue and began investigating the matter.
Father was the only one who was capable of making Grandma spill the beans.
And Father had made Grandma confess.
This game of chess has been orchestrated by Ye Shu. Making them move step by step.
At that moment, he had to walk down the path in front of him. In order to know the truth, he had to walk the path that Ye Shu had laid ahead.
Gu Juexi gripped Ye Yuwei’s hand and they exchanged an uneasy glance. They felt like they were about to explode.
‘Don’t investigate anymore.’ She couldn’t muster the courage to say those words.
“There’s no turning back now.” Gu Juexi said as he gently rested his forehead against hers. His father has finally been involved and had begun investigating. He was afraid that this incident would cause Ye Yuwei harm and that’s why he had to get to the bottom of it before his father did.
Ye Yuwei remembered Nalan Chunbo once told her that Gu Tianmu was a strict and cruel person. She had never seen him like that, but if the truth got out and he found out that he was being used, she was afraid that he would wreak havoc upon them all.
