Nalan Chunbo had just reached the hotel when Gu Juexi called. Ye Yuwei had gone to her room to unpack her things and Nalan Chunbo went into his room to answer the call when he saw Gu Juexi’s number.
“Ye Shu was there,” said Gu Juexi quietly when Nalan Chunbo put the phone to ear. “I’m sure of it even though it was just a glance.”
Nalan Chunbo was curious now. Why that place? What did uncle go to that place for?
“So the third patriarch was the untrustworthy one,” Nalan Chunbo concluded, frowning.
“Do you think you could take me to the Bai family? I need to see these patriarchs,” Gu Juexi asked suddenly.
Nalan Chunbo was surprised at Gu Juexi’s request.
“The Bai family hates your guts. Gu Juexi, are you trying to take the bull by the horns?” Nalan Chunbo chuckled.
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Instead of sitting around waiting for Ye Shu, I will make the first move to gain the upper hand,” said Gu Juexi determinedly, having decided his next move.
Nalan Chunbo stood by the window and looked down at the pedestrians on the road. He listened to Gu Juexi’s plan and secretly approved. He understood now how Cheng Jie was defeated by him back then.
“The patriarchs will have a meeting soon, but I am not sure if I can bring you,” Nalan Chunbo said slowly. “As you know, I am Ye Shu’s nephew, so the Bai family doesn’t really trust me completely. I will only get to see my aunt even if I go there.”
Gu Juexi wanted to scoff at Nalan Chunbo’s standing in the Bai family but did not do so considering he was Ye Yuwei’s brother.
“Going to the house itself is enough.” Gu Juexi asked only the bare minimum of Nalan Chunbo.
Nalan Chunbo didn’t turn Gu Juexi down. Despite his standing in the Bai family, he was confident enough to bring one person with him to the Bai family’s house.
Gu Juexi ended the call with Nalan Chunbo then stared at his phone for a while before finally deciding to call Ye Yuwei.
The call had gone through for a while but was not answered so Gu Juexi was certain that Ye Yuwei was ignoring his call.
Meanwhile, Ye Yuwei who was unpacking in the hotel saw her phone ringing and put it on mute after seeing the caller’s name. Gu Juexi could call as many times as he wanted as long as she didn’t hear it.
Gu Juexi tried a few times to get Ye Yuwei but to no avail, so he decided to call PA Wen.
“Did Ye Yuwei terminate her phone service?” Gu Juexi asked as soon as the call was answered.
PA Wen was in disbelief at their CEO’s IQ every time it came to Ye Yuwei. Didn’t he know that there would be an intercepting message to remind the caller that the number was no longer in service if the user had terminated their phone service?
“Could Mrs. Gu be busy? Maybe she just didn’t hear it,” PA Wen comforted their CEO who seemed to lose his intelligence every time it came to their Mrs. CEO.
Then again, didn’t he do the same when Ye Yuwei called him back then? Now the shoe is on the other foot and Ye Yuwei was doing exactly what Gu Juexi used to do to her.
Gu Juexi knew that he would be a total idiot if he believed PA Wen, because the woman was avoiding his calls on purpose and he knew it.
Of course he couldn’t tell PA Wen that, so all he could do was end the call with PA Wen and sulk. He stood by the railing on the second floor with his hands on his waist and wished the old Ye Yuwei was still around.
Buy her roses? Only a cactus would go well with a prickly person like her.
