Gu Tianmu was irked by Wen Jie’s change in attitude. “What should I know?”

Wen Jie smirked coldly.

Gu Tianmu suddenly grabbed Wen Jie’s wrist. “Should I know who you eloped with? Or should I know about the fact that you had children with me for the sake of protecting another guy? Or should I know about you wanting Juexi to…”

“What are you doing?” Ye Yuwei came in and quickly pushed Gu Tianmu away. She immediately pulled Wen Jie behind her and glared at Gu Tianmu fiercely.

Gu Tianmu steadied himself. The moment he saw Ye Yuwei bristling like an angry porcupine, his expression turned ruthless and icy. He stared at Ye Yuwei with narrowed eyes.

It was the woman who resembled Ye Shu.

Previously, he thought Wen Jie agreed to the marriage because she liked Ye Yuwei’s obedience, but the first time he saw her photo, he noticed the resemblance between her and Ye Shu.

Wen Jie quickly held Ye Yuwei’s wrist and told her not to worry, then told Gu Tianmo sternly, “Gu Tianmo, you can leave now. We have nothing to discuss, not now or ever.”

“Wen Jie, I really underestimated you. I never thought that you would be willing to do anything for him,” Gu Tianmu said cryptically then left the place.

Ye Yuwei turned to look at Wen Jie who had regained her composure. “Mother, are you alright?”

“I am fine. Is Xixi already asleep?” Wen Jie asked with a smile.

Ye Yuwei nodded. She recalled what she had heard just now.

Eloped? Gave birth? Gu Juexi?

Also, what was with Gu Tianmu’s ruthless stare just now? It looked like he wanted to strangle her. He loathed her, and she was sure that her mother-in-law was not the only reason behind it.

“Let me handle this, you get some rest. Both you and Juexi have not had the proper rest to be taking care of Xixi.” Wen Jie looked at the dark circles under Ye Yuwei’s eyes sympathetically. She really needed a break.

“I’m still okay. I don’t feel tired,” Ye Yuwei replied softly. Compared to Gu Juexi who had the world on his shoulders but still rushed to do everything by himself, she was not that burned out.

“Mom, why was he here?” Ye Yuwei voiced out her concern.

“I have no idea.” Wen Jie’s face remained expressionless. She adjusted the burner and used a low flame to simmer the medicine.

Ye Yuwei wanted to ask more questions but she realized it was not appropriate and said instead, “Mom, let me take over here. You need a break.”

She was not sure whether she was imagining things or reading the situation wrong, but the way Gu Tianmu acted when he left resembled Gu Juexi. They even reacted the same way when they were jealous.

Could it be possible that Gu Tianmu did have feelings for her mother-in-law?

Maybe both father and son had the same emotional intelligence?

However, her mother-in-law seemed like she did not reciprocate Gu Tianmu’s feelings.

Wen Jie did not decline the offer as she felt exhausted. She passed the fan in her hand to Ye Yuwei and headed to her room.

Ye Yuwei was in deep thought as she tended to the stove fire. She was confused by Gu Tianmu’s death glare. Previously, he had treated her politely even though his behavior was still cold and unfriendly. It was never a hateful glare like he wanted to kill her.

It was different this time. He seemed to loathe her so much it was as if his whole body was screaming at him to kill her.

It was a bizarre situation.

Yuan Mo came in with a packet of medicine while Ye Yuwei was still immersed in her thoughts. He stretched up to put it on the table, struggling because of his small size and said, “My grandpa collected it on the mountain this morning. All of these were requested by Granny Yao.”

“Thank you.” Ye Yuwei turned to see Yuan Mo who behaved like an adult, and helped him wipe his sweat away. ” Get some rest. Let me pour you a glass of water.”

“It is alright, Aunt. I want to check on Sister,” Yuan Mo quickly responded.
