Chapter 899: 899
The expression on Wen Jie’s face shifted and she took a step back involuntarily .
“What is the truth behind this that you are willing to be insulted and abused just to cover it up?” Gu Juexi asked heavily .
“Juexi, revealing the truth doesn’t always mean that you are amending the injustice . Sometimes when you stubbornly go after the truth, you might end up receiving an unimaginably hurtful answer . ” Wen Jie gripped her son’s arms tightly, her voice raspy .
“Mom, Auntie Mao knew the truth but she blamed it all on Gu Tianmu . Do you know why? She expected me to probe into this and find the answer myself . ”
“It is because she was told by someone who has no idea about what really happened!” Wen Jie became enraged out of a sudden, as if she had been provoked to a point where she had lost all her patience .
“And you, the only person who knows the whole truth, would rather conceal it instead?” Gu Juexi rebutted .
“Gu Juexi, what are you arguing about with Mom?” Ye Yuwei walked out of her room . Wen Jie was breathless from the bickering and Ye Yuwei helped her sit down . “Why can’t you talk things out properly? Why do you have to fight?”
Gu Juexi stared at Wen Jie calculatively, then turned around and walked away .
Wen Jie covered her forehead with her hand . She was trembling slightly, looking overwhelmed .
The yard was quiet once Gu Juexi left . Ye Yuwei let go of Wen Jie’s arm . She could not cozy up with her like she used to .
“I’ll get you some water,” Ye Yuwei said and turned around .

“Weiwei, you resent me too, don’t you?” Wen Jie asked out of the blue .
Ye Yuwei clenched her hand very tightly, not knowing how to respond .
“Sit down, I want to talk to you about your father,” Wen Jie said, rather gently .
Ye Yuwei looked at Wen Jie in disbelief and surprise . “Mom, you are willing to tell me?”
Wen Jie gestured for her to take a seat . She composed herself, slowed her breathing and said, “Since you both went to Feng County, I suspect you know a bit about your father’s past . ”

Ye Yuwei nodded .
“Forty-one years ago, when the Wen family was preparing to list the company, they encountered a major problem . Ironically, it was a fourteen-year-old boy who saved them from disaster . The first time I saw him, it was exactly like the first time I saw you but back then, Ye Di was there with him . He adored Ye Di very much . ”
Ye Yuwei knew about this too, otherwise, her father won’t set up this riddle to avenge her Aunt .
“I was eighteen when I met your father . ” Wen Jie looked down, her expression indistinguishable . “When they first moved into the Wen family, Ye Shu was very quiet and frigid . He would only smile at Ye Di and no one else . ”
Ye Yuwei vaguely pondered that her father and Gu Juexi shared the same personality .

“In the first half of the year, the Wen family suffered financial instability after the company was listed . In the second half, I was engaged to Gu Tianmu . At the time, I was very unhappy but no one cared about my feelings and opinions except Ye Shu and Ye Di . They would talk to me and keep me company; they were the only warmth that I could rely on in that house . For me, they were like my brother and sister . ”
Brother and sister?
Ye Yuwei looked at Wen Jie in bemusement . Was that how she defined her relationship with Ye Shu?
If so, how did the story about eloping emerge?
“Later, a lot of things happened . Everything had changed, including the people,” Wen Jie chuckled bitterly . She held onto the table and got to her feet . “Weiwei, no matter what, you should believe in your father . Sometimes, some stones are better left unturned . ”
