The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

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.
