The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Do you hear me?

Even the thunderous storm outside couldn’t hide Nalan Jing’s low growl.

Gu Tianmu heard everything clearly, regardless of the loud noise outside.

But this clarity was hard to digest.

Nalan Jing left in an instant. The door of the restaurant was still swaying, the sound of rain echoing into the restaurant.

Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei as she fell back onto the sofa, shocked.

Everyone, including her and Nalan Chunbo, were supposed to be the closest people to her aunt.

If Nalan Chunbo learned about this, he might be even more devastated. His mother, who loved him with all her heart, had already become a nasty past that he wanted to get rid of.

All that time, the only person who truly believed in her aunt was her mother-in-law.

Her mother-in-law was the one and only person who said that she was a good child.

Her father-in-law was the murderer who pushed her aunt into hell, and her mother-in-law had been her aunt’s salvation.

Both of them were Gu Juexi’s closest family members.

“Gu Juexi, I know this isn’t your fault, but I want to be alone. Gu Juexi, please, just let me be alone.” Ye Yuwei frantically shoved Gu Juexi aside, refusing his comfort and caresses.

She knew that this had nothing to do with Gu Juexi, knowing that his interpretation earlier was based on her father’s lead. But she was only human, and she didn’t know how to control her emotions at times like this, just like how Gu Juexi chose to chase her away when he first found out about the incident.

They were only humans that could hardly keep their emotions under control, so the only way to avoid hurting others was to go away. Staying together would only deepen the issues between them.

She figured both of them needed to be alone.

Space was the only thing they could give each other at the moment.

Gu Juexi’s hand froze midair. He understood how she felt. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have driven Ye Yuwei away that day.

“I’m sorry,” Gu Juexi mumbled, bowing his head. This was the first time he had spoken to Ye Yuwei in such a humble and sincere manner.

This apology was because of Ye Di, and also because of himself.

Ye Yuwei looked at him, tears flowing down her cheeks and dripping onto the floor. Eventually, she pushed him away and sprinted out of the restaurant.

She was afraid she would blame everything on him.

‘Gu Juexi, aren’t you the best in the world? Aren’t you invincible? How could you make such a big mistake?’

She was afraid she would say something she couldn’t take back if she stayed.

Gu Juexi took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and looked back at the man still sitting on the sofa. He strode over and glared at Gu Tianmu. “Are you happy now? Isn’t the truth what you always wanted? You hated the Ye family so much, so aren’t you happy with the truth now?” Gu Juexi demanded in a stern voice. Everything that unfolded was beyond his control.

Gu Tianmu sat there quietly without saying a word. Perhaps he didn’t know what to say.

It was raining cats and dogs outside the restaurant, but Ye Yuwei felt nothing as the heavy rain soaked her body. She lifted her head and let the rain wash away her tears.

Gu Juexi stood by the door and watched Ye Yuwei stand in the middle of the rain then slowly walk away.

He wanted to pursue her, but he didn’t have the courage to do so.

Gu Juexi took out his phone and sent an address to the person on the other end of the line. “Come over now.”

He put his phone away and leaned against the door.

It almost drove him crazy when he learned that Ye Di did such an awful thing to his mother.

Yet his mother was still alive, and Ye Di was dead.

There was a person’s life between him and Ye Yuwei, a life that had been taken away by the Gu family.
