Gu Juexi was eating his porridge very slowly, and eventually he stopped eating completely .
“There was a plate hanging in Master Yao Lao’s yard, it said “the late father of He’s . ”
Gu Juexi said it so casually but Ye Yuwei was stunned at the information .
“Do you mean…” Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi who gently put down his chopsticks .
“Master Yao Lao is He Liao’s mother,” said Gu Juexi with a heavy heart .
Ye Yuwei’s hand that was holding the chopsticks shivered and hit the bowl, making a grating sound like a knife stabbing her heart .
That was why Gu Juexi had agreed when Master Yao Lao told them to go down the hill .
“So Master Yao Lao might refuse to treat Xixi . That was probably why she let us in earlier,” said Gu Juexi quietly .
Ye Yuwei dropped her chopsticks onto the table loudly and her hands trembled uncontrollably .
Master Yao Lao let Gu Juexi in to tell him that he made it back but her son didn’t . So why should she save his daughter now?
Ye Yuwei jumped when Gu Juexi reached out to hold her cold hands, and withdrew them quickly, leaving his hand suspended mid-air . Gu Juexi clenched his fists and drew back his hand . “I will think of a way . I will have her treat Xixi no matter what . ”
Ye Yuwei wanted to scream at everything that had happened but she couldn’t . The children were in the room and she had to calm herself down .
“Gu Juexi, is making my life difficult not enough? Xixi is your daughter…” Ye Yuwei said . She knew that it was not Gu Juexi’s fault, but she couldn’t help but blame him .
Gu Juexi lowered his eyes without a word .
Not knowing what they were fighting about, Ye Xicheng turned to look at them curiously .
Ye Yuwei looked up as tears ran down her cheeks . Master Yao Lao was her only hope, and Gu Juexi had just burst her bubble .
Gu Juexi clenched his fists and got up from the stool . He grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom, and soon came out changed .
Ye Yuwei was still sitting in the same position at the side of the table, trying her best to calm herself down .
“Take care of them, I will be back tomorrow morning . ” Gu Juexi gazed at her and said before he left the room .
“What’s wrong, Mommy?” Ye Xicheng quickly went to his mother’s side right after Gu Juexi left .
Ye Yuwei reached out and held Ye Xicheng in her arms tightly .
A thunderstorm hit the area at midnight . Ye Xicheng couldn’t keep himself awake and fell asleep in Ye Yuwei’s arms .
Ye Yuwei took care of Xixi who wasn’t sleeping well while carrying Ye Xicheng in her arms . She knew that Gu Juexi had gone to see Master Yao Lao . Remembering how Gu Juexi had kneeled before Master Yao Lao for Xixi, it was not hard to tell that he would beg Master Yao Lao again .
Ye Yuwei didn’t close her eyes the whole night . She heard a commotion outside the hotel at one point, but it got quiet after a while . She waited until the next morning for Gu Juexi but he did not come back .
Ye Yuwei forced herself to stay awake . She woke her children and fed them before heading up the hill and received the news just as she was leaving the hotel .
“You can’t go there . The hill flooded and collapsed, didn’t you hear it last night? The soldiers of the army nearby were there overnight for the rescue,” said the receptionist . “It is always this time of the year that something happens . ”
