“Everyone was blaming her. So many irrelevant people were blaming her, and the only person who took her side was the one who had been hurt physically by her. What right did the Gu family have to blame her? You and the Gu family, more than everyone else, have absolutely no say in this matter!” Nalan Jing’s roar was full of bitterness and sarcasm, ridiculing everyone who had wronged Ye Di.
Especially Gu Juexi.
Gu Juexi knew it. That’s why he was afraid.
Ye Yuwei’s tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto Gu Juexi’s arm, burning his skin and breaking his heart.
Gu Juexi opened his mouth but realized he couldn’t get the words out.
It was his inference that had caused Ye Di to be criticized so terribly.
Regardless of whether he was simply following Ye Shu’s directions, he had interpreted the matter that way himself.
“She said that she wanted to keep the child. She asked me if I could reveal my true self to her when the child was born. I told her we would get married when she was eighteen, and that I would arrange the perfect wedding for her. I would give her the best future,” Nalan Jing said, his gaze on the back of his hands. His clenched hands had torn his injury and a sharp pain vibrated throughout his body. The pain reminded him that he had broken his promise to his beloved.
“I told her the story of the Love Stone. I said that I wanted to use the Love Stone to make her a wedding ring. She asked me if I could buy both of them because she wanted to give another piece to her Brother Gu and Sister Wen Jie so that their love would last forever.” Nalan Jing glared at Gu Tianmu. “Do you know why I wasn’t there the day your mother killed Didi? Because she asked me to deliver the diamonds to you. She wanted you to make a ring for Wen Jie on the day she delivered her baby. It was on the day I left that your mother killed her.”
Crash!
Ye Yuwei stumbled in shock, knocking down the glasses on the table. They fell, shattering into pieces.
“By the time I got to the hospital, she was dead, our child was gone, and the last thing she said before she died was that she was finally free! Yes, she was finally free from the burden and shackles of morality, she could no longer be used as your puppet and target. However, after so many years, you still won’t let her go!” Nalan Jing snarled, overturning the tea set on the table.
The tea set dropped to the floor and smashed into pieces.
Gu Tianmu kept his eyes downcast and said nothing.
There were not many people in the cafe because Gu Juexi deliberately reserved the entire cafe.
He thought it might not be as simple as they anticipated, but he didn’t expect the truth to be so harsh.
“Are you satisfied now? She wanted to bury it all along with her innocence. Wen Jie is the only one who wanted to protect her since the beginning, but you just had to drag everything into plain sight. Is this what you wanted?” Nalan Jing sneered, word by word.
Gu Tianmu curled his hands into fists, his arms burning with pain.
“Do you think you are the most innocent just because you know nothing? No, Gu Tianmu, you are the culprit. You are always so arrogant, and you think you don’t owe anyone an explanation, so you don’t want to clarify everything. You always think that the world revolves around you, that you’re always right. You said you wanted the truth, you wanted me to tell you everything, and I did. What about you? Do you hear me?”
