The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy Chapter 940 - What If We Quit Investigating?

“Mom!” Gu Juexi yelled as he kicked the stool nearest to him away.

This was not the first time that Ye Yuwei had witnessed Wen Jie’s persistence. The first time was when she went against Gu Juexi’s grandmother for her, and this was the second time—to stop them from investigating Ye Di’s death further.

Ye Yuwei came out of her room and looked at Gu Juexi who was standing with his hands on his hips.

Ye Yuwei knew her mother-in-law. She might be soft spoken, but she was a persistent woman. Gu Juexi was the best example as he had inherited that trait of hers. So when she said she would do something, it was as good as done.

Ye Yuwei didn’t know what to do after what Wen Jie said.

“What if we quit investigating?” Ye Yuwei compromised and chose her mother-in-law’s side after thinking it through.

What happened in the Ye Family was not as important as her mother-in-law who had been showing her much love and care.

Gu Juexi turned to look at Ye Yuwei. Ye Yuwei should be the one having the hardest time to choose, but this was an either-or question and she had to make the decision.

Gu Juexi hid his rage and kept quiet.

“You should apologize to your mother. The way you spoke to her was rude,” Ye Yuwei held Gu Juexi’s arm and said, “Apologize to her.”

The truth was that Gu Juexi had blamed himself the moment he blurted it out. He should know best what kind of person his mother was, and yet he blurted out something like that.

Now that Ye Yuwei suggested it, Gu Juexi was convinced and went to his mother’s room.

Ye Yuwei sat beside the table and pondered. She knew what kind of person her mother-in-law was, but why was she trying so hard to hide the truth?

She recalled everything that had happened throughout this period. They must have overlooked some details which could lead them to the answer.

But what was it that they missed?

Wen Jie was packing her things when Gu Juexi entered her room.

“What are you doing, Mom?” Gu Juexi quickly stopped what Wen Jie was doing.

“I am going back to the States. I don’t want to die in this place. No matter how many bad memories I had in the States, it’s my home. Just go ahead and investigate all you want,” said Wen Jie as she pushed Gu Juexi’s hand away and continued packing.

“I am sorry, Mom,” said Gu Juexi softly, “I really didn’t mean it. I just don’t understand, why won’t you let us investigate?”

Wen Jie held her clothes in her hand and said to Gu Juexi, “What would you do if someone hurt me like how they hurt Ye Di?”

“I will kill them,” Gu Juexi clenched his hands tightly and said.

He wouldn’t have let Wen Lan off the hook if she hadn’t already died because of karma.

“Then stop looking into it. If Nalan Chunbo insists on having an answer, tell him to come to me,” said Wen Jie, her face ashen.

“Who is Nalan Chunbo’s father, Mom?” asked Gu Juexi suddenly.

Wen Jie threw the clothes in her hand onto her bed after hearing Gu Juexi’s question.

Gu Juexi knew that he had asked another question which his mother was reluctant to answer, or to be accurate, hated to answer.

Yes, hate, but he didn’t know why.

Ye Yuwei went to Gu Juexi the moment he came out of Wen Jie’s room and looked around the room worriedly.

Gu Juexi put his arm around Ye Yuwei’s neck and took her back to the yard. “We didn’t quarrel.”

“Can you think before you talk? Are you trying to p.i.s.s her off even more?” Ye Yuwei flung Gu Juexi’s hand off her and said. “I keep feeling that we missed something,” Ye Yuwei continued as she sat down beside the table.

“You mean the things we already know?” asked Gu Juexi and picked up the stool that he kicked away and sat down in front of Ye Yuwei.
