Gu Juexi acknowledged it then ended the phone call with PA Wen.

Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi who sat down on the bedside. She recalled it was already two months since Gu Juexi left B City. Although PA Wen was there to manage Gu Enterprise, the public might question the absence of Gu Juexi in B City.

Moreover, Gu Juexi was severely injured not long ago. Certain media might exploit this issue by reporting a rumour about Gu Juexi’s fatal injury. It would definitely affect Gu Enterprise in a damaging way.

“Maybe you should return to B City first. Mother and I will take care of Xi Xi here.” Ye Yuwei suggested to him. Although she did not wish to see him leaving, the company was indeed established by Gu Juexi with his own hands, she would not want it to be destroyed.

Gu Juexi’s brows were drawn together in a deeper frown.

He was totally aware of Xi Xi’s bad temper. This woman was short-tempered like him. Ye Yuwei would get angry during normal days so she would not be able to handle Xi Xi alone if he left.

“Let’s wait for Xi Xi to endure this for a few more days.” Gu Juexi answered her back in deep voice. He added, “The banquet is scheduled for next Wednesday. In fact, it will be the tenth day for Xi Xi on that day. I will just go back on that day.”

Ye Yuwei wished to say something but she could not express it out when she saw Gu Juexi’s face. She ended up putting her hand on his shoulder.

PA Wen walked out from Environmental Protection Agency. He was rubbing his forehead when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiao Yaojing who was waiting outside. His tension flew away and his mood became better at once. He went to the car and got into it.

Xiao Yaojing started the car engine after he fastened his seat belt. She joked, “I thought you were already imprisoned.”

PA Wen gave a resigned smile upon hearing her words. This woman could not think something better.

Xiao Yaojing signaled him to check his phone.

PA Wen let out a sigh. “I saw it just now. It is undeniable that CEO has been away for too long. It is inevitable that some people might take advantage to manipulate it”

“If Gu Juexi does not appear in the public, the stock value of Gu Enterprise will tumbled to the worst drop in history within one week,” Xiao Yaojing stated it out. She could not help but to express her disapproval, “Tsk, tsk. Now I finally I understand why rich people never let the public know if they fall sick, it really does affect the stock value.”

“Of course it does. Leader is the soul of a company which also determines the flow of the company stock.” PA Wen explained it while looking at Xiao Yaojing who was driving the car. He suddenly uttered, “Accompany me to dinner banquet next Wednesday.”

Xiao Yaojing raised her brows slightly. “Ah, finally, there’s a proof of my status as your girlfriend. However, I am still curious about something. Xi Xi is not out of danger yet. Knowing that it is impossible for Gu Juexi to return at this time, who is so ruthless to take advantage of this critical situation?”

This was what PA Wen wanted to find out too. However, he did not have a single clue and did not even sure whether CEO able to make his presence that day.

He could only conclude that the culprit was heartless trying to drive their CEO up the wall.

Unfortunately, there were too many people in B City who loathe Gu Juexi. It was a bit difficult to catch the culprit.

He was totally aware everyone was looking forward to next Wednesday. They wanted to find out if Gu Juexi managed to turn up on that day.

“By the way, how is your mother’s mood recently?” PA Wen suddenly popped a question.

“Why?” Xiao Yaojing shot him a glare. It was hard to predict her mother’s mood. As long as it did not concern about Wen Tao’s mother, everything was fine.

“I am thinking of inviting them for lunch after the new city energy resource’s case is settled. Maybe we can resolve their conflict.”

“Are you trying to be the mediator?” Xiao Yaojing rolled her eyes before she continued, “Both of them will put up a fight on the spot if we let them see each other. I am definitely not going. You can go if you want.”

PA Wen went silent.

What she said was an undeniable truth as well.
