The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy Chapter 803 - Actually, My Father Knows My Mother-In-Law

After coaxing her daughter, Ye Yuwei could finally escape from the house.

Gu Bank was still the same old Gu Bank. There were not many transformations except the major human resource shuffle. It was easy for Ye Yuwei to get back on track regarding the internal and external environment of the bank.

Xiao Yaojing decided to pay Ye Yuwei a visit because she was tired of her mother’s constant nagging in the house.

Gu Bank Manager’s Office.

Xiao Yaojing rested her head on the table and looked at Ye Yuwei who was a.n.a.lyzing the business data of the bank for the past few years. “Say, are you out of your mind? Why did you come back here to work for him?”

“If I stayed at home any longer, a war would have erupted between my son and Gu Juexi. Might as well get out of there and find something to do,” Ye Yuwei sighed. Until the father and son could work things out and negotiate a truce, she didn’t want to get caught in the crossfire.

“Gu Juexi deserves it!” Xiao Yaojing exclaimed, toying with the stationery box on Ye Yuwei’s desk.

Ye Yuwei didn’t comment and just continued a.n.a.lyzing the data. “Where is PA Wen? Wasn’t he supposed to go to your house today?” asked Ye Yuwei curiously.

“He’s outstation per the order from your man. I think he went to a place called Feng County,” said Xiao Yaojing while spinning the pen in her hand. She missed the drastic change in Ye Yuwei’s expression upon hearing it.

“Feng County?” Ye Yuwei asked again to double check.

“Yes, Feng County. I think I heard it before, I just can’t recall where and when.”

“It’s my father’s hometown,” said Ye Yuwei softly. Her hands gripped the doc.u.ments tightly.

Xiao Yaojing was stunned and stopped spinning the pen. She looked at Ye Yuwei uncomfortably. It was an awkward scene through and through.

“Why did Gu Juexi order PA Wen to go to your father’s hometown?” asked Xiao Yaojing, puzzled.

Ye Yuwei was equally puzzled.

Truth be told, Gu Juexi never stopped investigating the matter—he just kept her out of it, that’s all.

What’s more, this problem wasn’t as simple as the problem of the Bai family anymore. The implication extended to the Gu family as well.

“I have an absurd a.s.sumption. In reality, my father knows my mother-in-law,” remarked Ye Yuwei.

The corner of Xiao Yaojing’s lips twitched slightly. She said after a prolonged silence, “You are overthinking it. The world is a big place, there is no way your father would have known Gu Juexi’s mother.”

“Maybe. You are right, maybe I am overthinking it,” said Ye Yuwei and looked down at the doc.u.ments in her hands again.

Xiao Yaojing stared at Ye Yuwei intently. “You and Gu Juexi have gone through h.e.l.l and high water to come to this, what are you scared of? Is there anything else that can separate the both of you?”

Ye Yuwei lifted her head to look at Xiao Yaojing. She wasn’t sure, but she felt uneasy about it.

“Stop thinking too much about this.” Xiao Yaojing patted Ye Yuwei’s arm. “Right now, I am more wretched than you. I am still jobless—”

Ye Yuwei giggled. “I asked you to come work in Gu Bank and you said no.”

“I don’t want you to pull some strings just so I can get in here,” said Xiao Yaojing contemptuously.

“… Did you hear that?” asked Ye Yuwei.

“What?” Xiao Yaojing frowned.

“The sound of a slap in the face! My face!” Ye Yuwei snorted.

“Your case is different. The person pulling the strings is your husband, who is also yours, it doesn’t count,” grumbled Xiao Yaojing—staring blankly ahead with her chin on her hand.
