Wen Shan took Nalan Chunbo for authentic food. Nalan Chunbo paid for the food, claiming that it was to thank Wen Shan for bringing him to the place.
The fact that Nalan Chunbo paid for lunch was showed off to Ye Yuwei by Wen Shan. Not wanting to throw a wet blanket on Wen Shan, Ye Yuwei showed her interest and asked about Wen Shan’s request to follow Nalan Chunbo on social media.
The last thing she wanted to do was hurt this little girl’s feelings.
Not able to sleep without Gu Juexi, Ye Yuwei chatted with Wen Shan for a while then visited the forum before she went to sleep. Thanks to the prompt action of Mr. Gu, Bai Xiaolian was sent to jail for good.
Gu Juexi always liked to deal with things quickly, simply because his opponent was never good enough to be worth much of his time.
Ye Yuwei looked at the posts on the forum about Bai Xiaolian and was not bothered by them. She was treating news like this as irrelevant to her life and nothing more.
It was only 10.30 pm when Ye Yuwei looked at the time. At this time, she would usually be bickering with Gu Juexi or doing something intimate with him in bed on normal days.
As Gu Juexi was not around, Ye Yuwei decided to go downstairs when she couldn’t fall asleep.
She walked out of her room and was surprised to see that the lights in her mother-in-law’s room were still on. She went to her room and knocked on the door that was left ajar.
“Are you up, Mother?” asked Ye Yuwei while knocking on the door.
“Come in,” Wen Jie sounded awake and alert, like she wasn’t going to sleep anytime soon.
Ye Yuwei entered the room and saw Wen Jie reading a book.
Wen Jie put the book down on the table where her phone was.
Ye Yuwei sat down at the side of the Wen Jie’s bed.
“Why are you still awake?” asked Wen Jie gently as she held Ye Yuwei’s hands lovingly.
She had always liked this girl. Not just because of Ye Shu, but also because she knew this girl could give her son the happiness he deserved.
“I rested at the office just now so I am not tired yet.” Ye Yuwei was telling the truth, although part of the reason why she was awake was because Gu Juexi was not around.
“I remember you telling me that the worst decision you ever made was to stay at the Gu Family with Gu Juexi,” Ye Yuwei said softly as she looked at her mother-in-law. Her eyes were clear and bright, contrary to the girl back then who got confused because of the divorce.
She spoke to Wen Jie a lot in this room six years ago, and she was talking to Wen Jie again in this room six years later.
Only the subject was different this time. They had talked about Gu Juexi back then but this time, she wanted to talk about Gu Tianmu
Ye Yuwei wasn’t even officially her daughter-in-law right now; she was at most just the mother of Wen Jie’s grandchildren, so she wasn’t sure she had the right to ask about Wen Jie’s affairs.
Even though their relationship was more to mother and daughter than mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
So she couldn’t just leave it alone.
“I always thought that Gu Juexi was the same kind of man as his father, and I was proven to be right. I later noticed that you might be the same kind of person, and you can’t deny it,” said Ye Yuwei with a straight face, and her tone brooked no argument.
“Not everything is that complicated, Wei Wei.” Not offended by what Ye Yuwei said, Wen Jie replied gently as always.
“Did you give up on finding out the truth just because you stopped loving him?” asked Ye Yuwei straightforwardly, sounding inappropriately sharp as she asked.
