Gu Juexi lifted his hand for a high five . “Deal . ”
Ye Yuwei high-fived him and rested her head back on his shoulder . “Why do I feel like I’m making a deal with a bandit?”
“Uh-huh, I am the chief, you are the lady chief . ” Gu Juexi turned his head and kissed Ye Yuwei’s forehead fondly .
Ye Yuwei despised the given title . “If you are the chief, I bet there is a long queue for those who want the title of lady chief . ”
“The place is taken . Three’s a crowd,” Gu Juexi sighed .
“Sounds like you regret the decision . ” Ye Yuwei’s expression turned dark and she aimed a cold stare at the man .
Gu Juexi was dumbfounded .
‘A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets . ’
“We’ll head to the States once Xixi’s condition is stabilized,” he announced, diverting the topic at once .
Ye Yuwei nodded . They had to start their investigation from the beginning in order to understand the whole matter .
In an unnamed country, in a dark and gloomy room with drawn curtains .
A man listened to reports while spinning a pen in his hand .
“There was no fight?” the man asked in his hoarse voice, sounding surprised .
The man who presented the reports looked up, clueless . “No, they did not fight . ”
“That’s weird . Ye Yuwei is Gu Juexi’s lifeblood indeed . As long as she is around, all of his common senses are no longer common,” the man said . He turned his chair but his face could not be seen .
“Keep your eyes on them . It seems like Gu Juexi has some information in his hands already, I want them to continue the journey until the end . ”
“Yes,” the man uttered . Just as he turned around to leave, he thought of something and returned his gaze to the sofa . “There’s one more thing: Gu Tianmu has arrived in Shennongjia . ”
“Hmph, the most pathetic member of the Gu family . He’s not our problem, leave him be . ”
He wanted to continue but the man on the sofa waved his hand, so he turned around and left .
“Gu Juexi, I hope you can keep it up, don’t disappoint me . ”
Pang!
The pen in his hand dropped onto the floor loudly, covering his echo .
B city, the legendary meeting of the parents .
The meeting was held at a hotel owned by Gu Enterprise, the one where PA Wen and Xiao Yaojing had the birthday celebration . They booked a room for the meeting .
Both mothers were sizing each other up .
Xiao Yaojing sat beside Wen Tao who was cleaning the cups for the parents .
“I feel like we are in the calm before the storm,” Xiao Yaojing whispered and reached for PA Wen’s shoulder .
Wen Tao peeked at the parents anxiously . He adjusted his glasses, cleared his throat and said, “Uncle and Aunty, these are my parents . Mom, Dad, these are Jingjing’s parents . ”
The silence continued in the room after Wen Tao’s introduction . Mr . Wen and Mr . Xiao exchanged glances and smiled awkwardly as a form of simple greeting .
Xiao Yaojing blinked innocently when she felt Wen Tao’s stare aiming at her . “Why are you looking at me like that? I don’t know what will happen . ”
“Your daughter doesn’t look like you at all . She is not your biological daughter, right? After all, you look too devious and witchy to be her mother . ” Mrs . Wen was the first to break the silence .
Wen Tao nearly dropped his cup in shock . He looked at his mother in horror and dread .
“Preach! Look at yourself, your face looks like a shoehorn . I bet he is not your flesh and blood either, his manner is totally different from yours . Are you his stepmother?” Xiao Yaojing’s mother spoke next, and her choice of words was slicker .
