The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy Chapter 1249 - Don’t You Say That We Have No Respect for You

Kids can be sensitive to people’s emotions. They can tell how adults feel about each other, and that’s why Xixi decided to bring her favorite cake to her Grandpa after dinner.

Xixi’s voice was soft and her hands were shaking, but Gu Tianmu was shocked at her words.

“Xixi!”

Xixi jumped when she heard someone calling for her and quickly put the cake on Gu Tianmu’s bed. “Mommy is looking for me. Grandpa did not have dinner so please have the cake,” said Xixi softly before she turned to leave the room quickly.

“Ooof!” Forgetting that she shouldn’t run, Xixi fell down on the floor and cried.

Wanting to help Xixi up, Gu Tianmu yanked his blanket to get off his bed as soon as Xixi fell down but before he could do so, Xixi had already gotten up on her own and ran out of the room.

The cake that was on Gu Tianmu’s bed was flipped over when he pulled his blanket. Gu Tianmu looked down to find the cake completely smashed, including the little bear made of chocolate that was on top of the cake.

Ye Yuwei was surprised to see Xixi running out of Gu Tianmu’s room and noticed that her daughter was rubbing her knees.

“Did you fall down again? Didn’t Mummy tell you that you shouldn’t run? Why don’t you listen?” Ye Yuwei chided and went over to carry her daughter to check her knees. It was lucky that her knees were alright other than being a bit red.

Xixi wrapped her arms around her mother’s neck and giggled while telling her mother that it wasn’t painful, and promised her that she wouldn’t run again.

Ye Yuwei glanced at Gu Tianmu’s room with Xixi in her arms before carrying her upstairs.

Wen Jie entered Gu Tianmu’s room after Ye Yuwei and Xixi went upstairs to check in on him only to find the cake smashed onto the floor.

Wen Jie’s face turned ashen, while Gu Tianmu struggled to explain.

“This…”

“I wouldn’t make any comments if you dislike Yuwei, but Xixi is your granddaughter. Why would you smash the cake that she loved eating but chose to give to you?” asked Wen Jie angrily with disappointment in her voice.

Gu Tianmu watched her storm out of the room before he could say anything.

Gu Tianmu sat down on his bed and looked at the cake on the floor. He swore that he didn’t do it on purpose, he was just trying to help the girl up.

Gu Tianmu lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly. He supposed it would sound like an excuse even if he explained himself now.

“Feeling helpless and misunderstood?” Gu Juexi leaned against the door and sneered at his father.

Gu Tianmu looked up, his face becoming emotionless again when he saw Gu Juexi.

“Throw it out and make sure Xixi doesn’t know about it. She would be heartbroken if she knew that her grandfather smashed her cake.” Gu Juexi sent in a servant to clean up the mess, and reminded her before she left the room.

Gu Juexi said it very loudly to make sure that Gu Tianmu heard what he said.

The servant’s lips twitched at what Gu Juexi said and she quickly left the room.

Gu Tianmu was so annoyed that his chest began to hurt.

“It was an accident!” Gu Tianmu snarled.

“Can’t stand it already? Don’t say that we have no respect for you, this is all the respect that the Gu family deserves. You have owed my mother for too long, and you know that’s true regardless of the reason. So pay your debts,” Gu Juexi said and left the room with his lips curled, then quickly hid his smile.
