Chapter 866: 866
At the question, Gu Juexi raised his head and looked at his mother .
She was as calm and composed as she had been for the past few decades .
In a family as big and complex as the Gu family, she had no intention of forming a clique nor did she stand on any side . She chose to be on her own in her tiny space of tranquility, the space that no one was allowed to step foot into .
No one, not even Gu Tianmu .
Gu Juexi was the only one who was allowed in that space . However, she had allowed access to someone else and it was Ye Yuwei, Ye Shu’s daughter .
“Mom—” Gu Juexi opened his mouth, his throat feeling dry .
“What is it?” Wen Jie fixed her motherly gaze on her son .
“It’s nothing . You must be tired from the journey, let me help you get some rest,” Gu Juexi suggested . He got to his feet and helped Wen Jie stand up .
Wen Jie could sense his uneasiness . It was the sixth sense of a mother for her child .
The guest room that Wen Jie stayed in was next to Master Yao Lao’s room—it was her arrangement .
Gu Juexi helped his mother sit on the chair . “Weiwei had informed Master about your condition, Master said it is treatable and she can care for you . The surroundings are very peaceful and the air is very fresh here, so why don’t you stay here for a while? There’s no rush to go back . ” Gu Juexi said quietly . He did not want this matter to be a burden to the lady who had had a hard time all her life .
“This place is nice,” said Wen Jie while surveying the room . The room was furnished minimally, but it was pleasing to the eye .
“Mom, please rest well . I’m going to go check on Xixi,” Gu Juexi announced . He turned around and was about to leave .

“Juexi,” Wen Jie called suddenly, startling Gu Juexi as he turned to look at her . “Do you still remember what I told you in the ancestral hall when you were young?”
When he was young? Ancestral hall?
[“Mommy, Mommy! It’s Uncle and Aunt again . ” Little Gu Juexi came running from outside and threw himself into Wen Jie’s embrace .
Wen Jie patted Gu Juexi lightly . “Don’t worry, your grandmother can handle it . ”
“Mommy, why do they keep coming back asking for money? Do they not have money?” Gu Juexi asked curiously as he could not comprehend the situation .
“Juexi, money is just one of the things in the material world . Sometimes, people need these materialistic things for a sense of security when they lack self-confidence or when they are restless . But I want to tell you something that I need you to remember, I want you to live your life with honesty and a clear conscience, that’s all I hope for . ”]

To live my life with honesty and a clear conscience .
Gu Juexi’s hands clenched into fists . Was eloping a part of the so-called honest and clear conscience life?
“Mom, it’s always on my mind . Please rest well,” Gu Juexi said then turned around again and walked out of the room in big strides .
Wen Jie watched him go and sighed . She laid down on the bed .
Honest and clear conscience?
All her life, she had been honest with everyone, but she was indebted to him .

“If it’s true that you are back, put all the blame on me but please spare the children,” Wen Jie mumbled quietly . She felt tears flow from the corner of her eyes, and she quickly buried her face in the pillow .
When Gu Juexi entered their room, Ye Xicheng had just fallen asleep . Ye Yuwei tucked him in and looked at Gu Juexi who took a seat by the table . “Why don’t you spend some time with your mom? You have some free time now because of your injury . ”
“She is tired, she wants to sleep,” muttered Gu Juexi half-heartedly, drumming his fingers against the table .
The seemingly cluttered and chaotic matter had finally settled . It was him who had avoided accepting the answers .
