The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy Chapter 1072 - The Complaints

He cares about you.

“Okay, I think we talked enough about that, where is Juexi?” Wen Jie helped Ye Yuwei up as she asked about Gu Juexi.

Wen Jie’s reaction made Ye Yuwei wonder. Did Wen Jie avoid the subject because she didn’t care or because of something else?

“He has gone to work. PA Wen is caught up in some personal business so Juexi gave him some days off.” Noticing that her mother-in-law wasn’t keen to talk about it, Ye Yuwei answered Wen Jie’s question.

Summer in July was always irritatingly hot, and the constant chirping of cicadas always made them even more annoying.

Hot air gushed into the ward when one of the nurses opened the window. Ye Yuwei got up to close the window and was surprised when Wen Jie stopped her. The ward would soon become warm even with the air-conditioner on if the window was not closed.

“Are you cold, Grandma?” Xixi laid down beside Wen Jie and asked worriedly while holding Wen Jie’s cold hands.

Cold?

Ye Yuwei quickly reached out to feel Wen Jie’s hands. They weren’t ice cold, but they were still unusually cold.

“Mom?”

“I am fine,” said Wen Jie with a smile on her face.

Ye Yuwei grabbed the air-conditioner remote control and wanted to switch it off.

“Leave it on,” Wen Jie stopped Ye Yuwei again and said, “It’s fine. I should get some sun too.”

Ye Yuwei put the remote down quietly. Her mother-in-law had turned back into to the young, quiet Wen Jie that appeared when Ye Shu left her, and what kept her going was Gu Juexi. But even so, her heart was cold and she didn’t feel hope.

Now that the whole saga had come to an end, Wen Jie’s mind was finally at ease. Wasn’t that a good thing?

Ye Yuwei dropped by to visit Gu Tianmu who was still unconscious.

Ye Yuwei noticed that both father and son were injured in the same area. To be honest, the people that Gu Tianmu had tried so hard to save were only Gu Juexi and Wen Jie, and the rest had merely ridden on their coattails.

That was the kind of person that Gu Tianmu was. The same as Gu Juexi, and both were terrible at communicating.

But people like them would hold on to someone that they care for their whole life.

Gu Juexi had arrived with lunch for his mother by the time Ye Yuwei got back to Wen Jie’s ward, and Ye Xicheng seemed to be complaining about something.

Gu Juexi wasn’t looking at Ye Xicheng at all.

“He said he was going to give away the birthday presents that Mommy bought for me to other kids,” said Ye Xicheng pitifully from beside Wen Jie’s bed.

“Why would you do that, Gu Juexi? Why would you touch his toys?” Wen Jie pulled Ye Xicheng into her arms and confronted Gu Juexi fiercely.

Gu Juexi opened his mouth and tried to explain himself.

“He is going to bully me even more if you don’t come back, Grandma. He won’t even let Mommy take care of Xixi and I.” Ye Xicheng snuggled into Wen Jie’s arms, and continued to complain pitifully.

“How dare you, Gu Juexi? How old are Xicheng and Xixi now? Kids their age need their mother’s care the most.”

Gu Juexi was severely irritated and fighting the urge to choke someone when he saw the smug little face of his son.

“I didn’t know that Wei Wei got him those toys. I didn’t give them away in the end,” Gu Juexi protested as he sat down on a chair. As for the second complaint, wasn’t his son the one to blame? Why did he have to call for his mother every five minutes?

“Wouldn’t you ask if you don’t know something? I know he is just a little boy, but he deserves some respect too,” Wen Jie lectured Gu Juexi mercilessly.

Ye Xicheng continued to cuddle in his grandmother’s arms and peeked at Gu Juexi when his grandmother wasn’t looking.
