Gu Juexi walked into the mansion slowly . This was the place where his mother grew up . This was also the place where his mother's painful fate began .
The mansion was empty, and Gu Juexi walked down the hall towards the rooms . He made his way to Wen Jie's room and noticed that the lock on the room was covered in dust . It had been a long time since the place was cleaned .
Ye Yuwei was looking at Nalan Chunbo when a loud banging startled her . It sounded like someone was trying to break a lock . Ye Yuwei was stunned when she saw Gu Juexi push the room door open and walk right into it .
"Gu—" Before Ye Yuwei could finish, the door closed .
She could only stare at Nalan Chunbo in confusion and frustration as he looked at his surroundings .
Wen Jie's room had a musty smell to it since it hadn't been cleaned in a while . Gu Juexi opened the window to allow sunlight in . There was a photo frame on the bed . Gu Juexi picked it up and saw a picture of a young man about the age of ten standing next to two girls; one looked a few years older but she was slightly taller than Wen Jie .
Gu Juexi had never seen his mother smile like that .
The little girl next to Wen Jie wore a smile but from Gu Juexi's point of view, she looked like a devil . He gripped the photo frame tightly, then flung it to the ground .
"Gu Juexi—" Ye Yuwei shouted as she barged into the room after hearing glass break . Her hand still on the doorknob, her eyes locked on the broken photo frame before her .
Ye Yuwei looked up and saw Gu Juexi's back . His hands were pressing onto the table next to the bed, the pressure leaving marks on the dusty table .
"Get out—" He said fiercely . He understood, he finally understood .

And now that he did, he could not face the Ye family— including Ye Yuwei .
Ye Yuwei was shocked by his sudden anger . It had been so long since he last lost his temper
"Gu—"
"Get out!" Gu Juexi roared, flipping the blanket off the bed . Dust clouded the air .
Ye Yuwei could only stare at the man as dust fell around them . The man stared back at her with bloodshot eyes .

Gu Juexi, what happened to you?
"What are you doing?" Nalan Chunbo growled, pulling Ye Yuwei behind him .
The second he saw Nalan Chunbo, Gu Juexi lunged at him and grabbed his neck . He had moved so fast that all Ye Yuwei saw was a blur of movement .
Nalan Chunbo quickly blocked the attack and fought back, the two of them grappling at each other outside the room .
"Brother, Gu Juexi—" Ye Yuwei shouted while hurriedly making her way out of the room .
Gu Juexi's attacks were cruel and precise; Nalan Chunbo was trying his best to defend himself but Gu Juexi was vicious . He kicked Nalan Chunbo, sending him tumbling down the stairs .

"Brother!" Ye Yuwei shrieked . She pushed Gu Juexi aside and quickly made her way down the stairs towards her brother .
"Brother, are you alright?" Ye Yuwei knelt beside Nalan Chunbo and noticed his mouth was bleeding . Angrily, she looked up at Gu Juexi .
"Gu Juexi, what in the world are you doing?" Ye Yuwei snarled furiously .
Gu Juexi didn't even look at Ye Yuwei, he just grabbed Nalan Chunbo's collar and pulled him up . "You're lucky that woman is dead, or I would have made her wish she was . "
His hate-filled words echoed in the empty house .
