Gu Tianmu glanced at Gu Juexi, then picked up the cup on the table. “I’ve been thinking about what you said. You think that the person who impersonated me back then could be Nalan Jing?”
Gu Tianmu was no fool. In fact, he was smarter than the average person. Looking back, even though he had only met Nalan Jing a few times, he could vaguely remember they had a similar build.
Gu Juexi did not intend to hide the matter. “Do you think Nalan Jing is really dead?”
Gu Tianmu twirled the cup in his left hand and leaned against the backrest of the couch. “It was rumored that he died among the upper class, as he did not appear ever since the accident. Besides that, the Nalan family had also started to fall apart around that time. After your birth, the Nalan family ceased to exist. That’s why you didn’t hear of their influence and only know of the Gu family and Wen family.”
Gu Juexi was starting to understand as well. A person who could make two girls fall head over heels for him was definitely a force to be reckoned with.
“What if Nalan Jing met with an accident on the same day as Nalan Chunbo’s birth? And Ye Di was killed on the same day. Don’t you think that’s too much of a coincidence?” Gu Juexi queried.
Gu Tianmu turned to Gu Juexi with a grave look on his face. “I do not wish to hear about the Ye family’s affairs anymore.”
Gu Juexi leaned against the couch and gazed on as Gu Tianmu got up to return to his room. “If the person Ye Di was in love with was indeed Nalan Jing, had it ever crossed your mind that Grandma would have had no reason to harm her and wouldn’t have used Mother’s elopement as an excuse to cover up the mistake she thought you committed?”
Gu Tianmu turned around and stared at Gu Juexi. “What are you trying to say?”
“Wen Lan is still alive. Not only is she still breathing, she is living a greater life than any one of us.” Gu Juexi stood up and walked up to Gu Tianmu. “The one who landed the both of you in this mess is still alive, and we could be wrong about Ye Di.”
“If you’re telling me this for Ye Yuwei’s sake, there’s no use.”
“What if I tell you that Nalan Jing is still alive and that I’ve already met him?” Gu Juexi asked abruptly.
Ye Yuwei, who had just finished her shower and was looking for Gu Juexi, stopped in her tracks as she overheard their conversation.
Gu Juexi had met Nalan Jing?
Brother’s biological father?
Gu Tianmu finally turned to look at Gu Juexi. “What do you mean?”
“You probably need to meet Nalan Jing in person,” Gu Juexi said bluntly. “Because I doubt he would tell the truth to anyone other than you. After all, Ye Di’s love at first sight was you.”
“Nonsense.” Gu Tianmu brushed it off. “I’ve never even met her.”
“But you had been to the Wen family’s house, and she was staying there,” Gu Juexi argued.
Gu Tianmu’s expression darkened. He said nothing further and left for his room.
Gu Juexi inhaled deeply and as he glanced up, he saw Ye Yuwei standing at the stairs. Gu Juexi was taken aback, but he regained his composure and walked up the stairs.
As Gu Juexi walked past Ye Yuwei, she spoke. “You’ve seen him?”
Gu Juexi did not attempt to hide the truth and nodded his head. “But I couldn’t get anything out of him. He was unwilling to say anything.” Gu Juexi couldn’t even figure out his thoughts.
“I would like to see him.” Ye Yuwei held Gu Juexi’s wrist. “I want to meet him. I think I have the most leverage against him,” Ye Yuwei begged.
