His sharp glance didn’t stop her though.
“I haven’t forgotten even if you have. During that time in Shennongjia, she wanted to kill me. We let it slide because of Wen Lan.”
Gu Juexi knew what Ye Yuwei was going to say, so he didn’t react when she said it.
At 5.30 p.m., the day was still bright, the scorching summer sun was still hanging in the sky, and the air was annoyingly humid.
The air-conditioning was blasting in the car, a stark contrast to the humid air outside.
Ye Yuwei was reluctant to bring up Lin Ximei. However, Lin Ximei hated her, she had the motive to kill her, she escaped, and she literally carried out murderous attempts on her. Even Gu Juexi acknowledged this fact, but they were too preoccupied right now to keep up with her case.
“Do you really think she is an almighty Wonder Woman?” Gu Juexi laughed out loud. He knew Lin Ximei’s capabilities better than anyone, so he was certain that whoever behind this was definitely not Lin Ximei.
“She escaped from you, that is a fact.” Ye Yuwei leaned back in the passenger seat and stared at Gu Juexi. “The point is, she hates me. Nothing can stop a woman’s wrath.”
As for why she hated her, Ye Yuwei was way too familiar with it. She stared coldly at the main sinner—Gu Juexi—the sole reason why Bai Yuyan, Yu Sha’er, and Lin Ximei hated her.
Gu Juexi looked down at the necklace on Ye Yuwei’s neck and blurted out, “That is such an unlucky charm, take it off. You jumped into the sea when you first got it and today, your head nearly got hit by a flower pot.”
As Gu Juexi was speaking, he slowly found himself accepting the belief that the sapphire was inauspicious.
There were many cursed gems in the world. He wasn’t sure if this sapphire was the legendary blood diamond.
Ye Yuwei lowered her gaze and reached out to touch the necklace around her neck. When the sunlight hit it, the sapphire shined a dazzling shade of blue.
“I’ve worn it since I was a kid,” Ye Yuwei retorted.
“That’s why you were almost burned to death,” Gu Juexi replied mercilessly.
Ye Yuwei frowned dejectedly and decided not to speak again. Instead of believing in the foolish curse of the sapphire, she preferred to believe that it was all Lin Ximei’s despicable actions.
It was a little over 6 p.m. when they arrived at Gu Mansion. Ye Yuwei didn’t tell anyone about her flower pot incident.
Wen Jie was not at home. The maid informed Ye Yuwei that Madam was at the hospital taking care of Gu Tianmu as he suffered an infection at noon and his condition had been fluctuating.
Ye Yuwei and Gu Juexi went up the stairs. Ye Yuwei said in a mocking tone, “Your dad is more devious than you are, he does whatever he can to keep your mom there.” Although Ye Yuwei hadn’t encountered many burn victims, she had never heard of relapsed infection, especially when the victim was staying in the hospital where there was disinfectant around all the time.
Gu Juexi paused for a moment. Something flashed in his mind but he couldn’t grasp it.
They changed into their house clothes. Gu Juexi went to his study sneakily and Ye Yuwei went downstairs to check on her children.
As she walked down the stairs, Qian Yikun called for an update.
“I’m fine, thank you for your concern,” Ye Yuwei answered, sitting down on the sofa.
“Good to know. Pay more attention to your surroundings in the future. I wonder if they are Mr. Gu’s latest enemies.” Qian Yikun was on his way home after a long day at work.
