Ye Yuwei’s hands froze mid-air at Wen Jie’s question. She composed herself and continued tidying Wen Jie’s blanket.
Gu Tianmu had targeted her. He even hired hitmen to kill her.
It was impossible to say she didn’t hate him.
However, it was her aunt who had turned Gu Tianmu into this.
Gu Tianmu’s hatred toward her sounded rather justifiable.
“There’s nothing to hate. If not for my aunt, you and Gu Juexi would not have turned out like this. Gu Tianmu is the most innocent among all. I can understand why he hates me,” Ye Yuwei uttered with her downcast eyes. She didn’t speak loudly, but her voice was sincere and heartfelt.
Wen Jie held Ye Yuwei’s hand and gently stroked it. “But then you wouldn’t have met Juexi, right?”
“Yes, so even if I have to apologize, I don’t regret everything that has happened,” Ye Yuwei said in a straightforward manner.
“You and your father are exactly alike.” Wen Jie leaned against the chair and looked at Ye Yuwei contentedly. “Perhaps the most righteous thing I’ve done for Juexi was you.”
Ye Yuwei chuckled and held Wen Jie’s hand. “Mom, I think Dad is sincere towards you. Can’t you give him another chance, please?”
“You little rascal, what are you talking about? Right now, I just want to see Xixi and Xicheng grow up happily and well, and Xicheng bringing home a granddaughter-in-law. That’s all I ask for,” Wen Jie chided with a smile.
“Xicheng and your granddaughter-in-law can wait. Mom, haven’t you heard the saying ‘fear is the heart of love’? Dad was in extreme rage because he loved you so much, so what else—”
“Weiwei—”
“Alright, I’ll stop here.” Ye Yuwei stopped when she saw her mother-in-law’s face turned solemn and serious. Although she took her father-in-law’s side, her mother-in-law was quite stubborn and tough.
As Ye Yuwei was about to leave, she felt like she was a matchmaker in disguise. Not only did she have to worry about her brother and Wen Shan, but she also had to care for her in-laws.
Yet, her problems were still undealt with.
When Ye Yuwei returned to the house, Auntie Qian was anxious about tonight’s dinner, mainly because the residents of this house were always very casual and not picky about their menu.
“Young Mistress,” the maids greeted Ye Yuwei with a nod and walked past her.
Ye Yuwei walked leisurely toward Bai Xiaolian. She was mopping the floor when Ye Yuwei suddenly stood in front of her.
Bai Xiaolian raised her head and looked at Ye Yuwei innocently. It was as if her face mimed, “Young Mistress, may I help you?”
Ye Yuwei stood elegantly like a statue. The other maids stopped whatever they were doing and peeped in their direction.
“My head hurts from thinking about tonight’s menu. Young Mistress, could you please give me some—” Auntie Qian shut her mouth upon stumbling into this scene when she emerged from the kitchen.
“Young Mistress,” Bai Xiaolian blurted out, her voice shaky and grating.
“According to Article 120 of the General Principles of the Civil Law, when a citizen’s reputation is violated, the victim has the right to stop the infringement, restore the reputation, eliminate the impact, request for an apology, and claim compensation for the damage done,” Ye Yuwei said as she glared at Bai Xiaolian, who was much shorter than she was. “Bai Xiaolian, are you happy violating my personal reputation in the university forum?”
Ye Yuwei’s voice was modest but it was loud enough to be within everyone’s earshot.
The blood drained from Bai Xiaolian’s face when she heard Ye Yuwei’s remarks. Her eyes resembled that of a frightened little white rabbit as she looked at Ye Yuwei, shaking and trembling.
