Chapter 857: 857
The plate was still in Ye Yuwei’s hand . There was only one slice of watermelon left on the plate due to Gu Juexi’s barbaric action, and even that pathetic slice was also on the verge of collapse .
Gu Juexi grabbed her arm with one hand and pressed the wall behind her with another .
Kabe-Don? 1
Impossible! Mr . Gu did not know what it was and how to do it .
“It’s nothing personal, I didn’t mean to offend you,” Gu Juexi growled deeply . Unsurprisingly, this did not conform to the standard follow-up action of a Kabe-Don .
Ye Yuwei held the plate straight to rescue the only slice of watermelon that was about to slide off the plate .
“Did I say anything about you offending me? I can only assume this is a confession,” Ye Yuwei sneered .
Gu Juexi felt that this woman was no longer the cute girl that he used to know .
Gu Juexi realized for the first time that when a lady was not being reasonable, it was useless to try to reason with her .
“When I am done with the investigation, I will explain everything to you, the whole nine yards,” Gu Juexi said clearly and precisely . He would never reveal anything to anyone before he had all the facts because he couldn’t bear the consequences if he was wrong .
He hated a situation that was out of his control, especially when it involved Ye Yuwei .

Ye Yuwei was still leaning against the wall as Gu Juexi pinned her to it . The wall was warm like toast after roasting under the sun the whole morning .
Ye Yuwei squirmed awkwardly, but it seemed to Gu Juexi like she was trying to struggle her way out of his grasp so he pressed her harder against the wall .
“Ah—” Ye Yuwei groaned . The plate in her hand fell to the floor, along with the honorable sacrifice of the last slice of watermelon .
Ye Yuwei moved her gaze down to the watermelon that was lying by her feet, her face instantly turning furious . He had done this intentionally, hadn’t he?
Gu Juexi followed her gaze down to the plate at his feet . Immediately, he moved away from Ye Yuwei and rubbed his nose .

Ye Yuwei looked at the sad watermelon slice by her feet that was no longer edible, lifted her gaze to look at Gu Juexi then ran away faster than a monkey .
Ye Yuwei was irritated . Now she finally knew Gu Juexi’s true personality . If he was not so cold and distant, he would be beaten to death with that kind of attitude .
By the time Master Yao Lao was done with her last patient, Ye Yuwei had finished preparing dinner . Gu Juexi was busy making phone calls the whole evening, but Ye Yuwei didn’t want anything to do with him anyway . While Master Yao Lao was taking her dinner, she scowled at Gu Juexi who was still busy on the phone . She wanted to say something about it but she decided against it .
The whole evening, Gu Juexi was busy making phone calls but none of them bore good news . Since Gu Tianmu left Feng County, none of his guys could get any information about his recent whereabouts .
“Regarding the matter you wanted me to investigate, I got something . 41 years ago, the Wen family did suffer a financial crisis, but not many knew how they got through it . The wedding arrangement between auntie and your father was already confirmed too . The weird part is that the Gu family didn’t lend a hand to the Wen family then,” explained Lu Qichuan on the phone .

Gu Juexi pressed his hand against the window, gently tapping the warm stones . “Okay, I got it . ”
“But, Boss, I found something else,” said Lu Qichuan hastily, as though he could sense Gu Juexi would end the call .
Indeed, Gu Juexi was about to end the call and cut him off, but he put the phone to his ear again when he heard Lu Qichuan . He coughed lightly, urging him to continue .
On the other end of the line, Lu Qichuan was silent for a minute, as though trying to pick the right words .
