Ye Yuwei pursed her lips in befuddlement as she gazed at Gu Juexi, frowning deeply.
Nalan Jing was also glancing at Gu Juexi in bewilderment as if there was something he wasn’t aware of.
“It doesn’t matter. The most important thing we have to do right now is to force Wen Lan to resurface from her hiding place,” Gu Juexi suggested.
Ai Mijia wouldn’t disappear for long if Wen Lan was present, so she would definitely emerge from wherever she was hiding right now.
Ye Yuwei kept her gaze on Gu Juexi, her mind struggling to process all these sudden developments. She decided to give up and follow Gu Juexi’s steps and reasoning.
“There is one effective way to force Wen Lan to resurface. We know that Wen Lan is jealous by nature and obsessed with your father. Next week is your mother’s 58th birthday, so ask your father to organize an extravagant birthday party for your mother. I believe it will work perfectly,” Nalan Jing suggested, having regained his composure and rationality. He wanted to get his hands on that wicked woman as well.
Moreover, his suggestion was a great idea.
It was just that—
“Uncle, you know my mother-in-law quite well,” Ye Yuwei said with a polite yet awkward smile.
Gu Juexi stood silently, listening to Ye Yuwei’s remark. Although his father was lacking in personality, he didn’t expect to find a stepfather for himself at this age.
Nalan Jing peered at Gu Juexi. Gu Juexi’s expression was composed and indifferent.
“Let’s hope your deductions are correct this time.” Nalan Jing clearly believed in Gu Juexi.
Instinctively, Ye Yuwei clenched Gu Juexi’s arm tightly, preventing him from talking back to Nalan Jing. After all, Nalan Jing was her uncle, and Gu Juexi was not a merciful person, even to his own father.
“Uncle, my father has a certain responsibility in this matter as well. If he had faith in his own sister, even for a little bit, I think this matter would not have taken such a devastating turn,” Ye Yuwei said sincerely. She was not only taking Gu Juexi’s side but also speaking the truth.
At the mention of Ye Shu, Nalan Jing’s expression didn’t change. Ye Shu went to see him because of the incident, and their meeting had ended badly. Nalan Jing knew that Ye Shu was too concerned about Ye Di.
Fear is the heart of love—that’s what it was all about.
Besides concern, heartbreak and loss of faith carried a heavier load in love.
Nalan Jing waved his hand indifferently. “That’s all I know. Do whatever you want to do, I only hope to see Wen Lan and Ai Mijia as soon as possible.”
After they said their goodbyes, Ye Yuwei pulled Gu Juexi out the door. The moment they opened the door, they bumped into Nalan Chunbo.
Leaning against the wall in front of the door, Nalan Chunbo was playing on his phone mindlessly. When the door opened, he slowly looked up at the person who had emerged from the room.
Ye Yuwei was stunned. This time, it was Gu Juexi who pulled her and walked away.
“Do you need someone to announce your arrival before you go in?” Gu Juexi asked with a smirk and left with Ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei yelped as she was pulled away by Gu Juexi. She turned and saw the room door slowly closing. Nalan Chunbo was standing in front of the door, still as a statue.
Ye Yuwei pursed her lips anxiously, wondering if he would go in and meet Nalan Jing.
Gu Juexi, on the other hand, didn’t seem to care about the issue. No, he simply didn’t care at all. Right now, all he cared about was finding Wen Lan.
Ye Yuwei was pulled into the elevator. Nalan Chunbo was still standing in the same spot.
