The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

In the study, Ye Yuewi and Gu Juexi were still insisting on their respective views and both refused to budge.

“You spent eleven years for Cheng Jie. Not eleven days, eleven years! Cheng Jie played only a very minor part in the Bai family. You are risking your life to burst in the Bai family’s fortress without any plans,” said Ye Yuwei quietly. “The best way now is that I make the first move to expose my identity. The Bai family knew that we fell out six years ago, so it would be best if I go back now and be the granddaughter that I should be.”

“Don’t even think about it. You know I will never let that happen so forget about it. You can take care of the Gu family then. I don’t trust anyone else to do it,” Gu Juexi said as he pushed Ye Yuwei’s head aside gently.

Ye Yuwei balanced herself and looked at the man who was going to leave and said, “You know what I said is the best way, Gu Juexi. You know they would never kill me no matter how bad it gets.”

Gu Juexi stopped walking and turned back to look at his stubborn girl.

“I am no longer the Ye Yuwei that you know. Why can’t you see that?” Ye Yuwei asked angrily.

The old Ye Yuwei would be satisfied with her monthly salary and live a peaceful life with it. The Ye Yuwei now had experienced life and death, experienced a gun battle, experienced the ups and downs of operating a business; she had changed into a different person.

“Let me ask you something,” Gu Juexi said, narrowing his eyes at Ye Yuwei.

Ye Yuwei looked at him without saying anything.

“How do pigs die?”

“Gu Juexi, you…” Ye Yuwei yelled at Gu Juexi angrily but Gu Juexi had already left the study before she could finish. He then saw Ye Xicheng standing by the door.

Ye Xicheng pursed his lips and looked at Gu Juexi when he came out of the study.

Gu Juexi squatted down so they looked directly into each other’s eyes, and reached out to stroke his son’s hair.

“Tell Biao to pick me up, Butler Kim,” said Gu Juexi, and then said to Ye Xicheng while looking at him, “Remember that you are a man and there are three women you should protect your whole life – your mother, grandmother, and sister.”

“Where are you going and what are you going to do?” Ye Xicheng asked suddenly.

Gu Juexi did not answer the question and went straight to his bedroom.

Ye Yuwei followed Gu Juexi to the bedroom and shut Ye Xicheng out of the room. She looked at Gu Juexi as he took out a gun from a drawer below the bedside table.

“Gu Juexi.” Ye Yuwei held Gu Juexi’s wrist. “At least make some plans, or discuss with Yu Jiangqing.”

Gu Juexi held Ye Yuwei’s hand. “That person in the dark is not giving us time, silly girl. And this is just the beginning,” Gu Juexi said and let go of Ye Yuwei’s hand to leave the room.

“Gu Juexi,” Ye Yuwei called out again. She knew what was wrong about what Auntie Mao told them. It made Gu Juexi move everything forward including making his move against Gu International. Not just the Gu family but Gu Juexi was also determined to take down the Bai family because he was left with no other choice but to do so.

Gu Juexi stopped where he was for a second and walked to the door.

“I will never forgive you if you leave,” Ye Yuwei shouted suddenly as she looked at the man standing by the door.

Gu Juexi held the doorknob tightly in hesitation.

“Can’t you go just one day later? Just one day, and discuss this with Yu Jiangqing. I am sure you have one day to spare? Please, Gu Juexi?” Ye Yuwei ran towards Gu Juexi and held his wrist. “Just one day, Gu Juexi, just one.”
