The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Gu Mansion.

Butler Kim was taken aback when he saw Gu Juexi walk into the living room. His mind went blank for a while, but he quickly recovered and rushed to greet Gu Juexi. “Young master.”

“Where’s Gu Tianmu?” Gu Juexi didn’t even look at Butler Kim as he made his way up the stairs.

“Young master, Master Gu has yet to return since yesterday,” Butler Kim quickly replied.

The moment Butler Kim finished his sentence, Gu Juexi stopped. He turned his head to look at the stunned butler.

Gu Tianmu didn’t return. His thoughts were running wild after hearing that. Gu Juexi pushed Butler Kim aside and was about to leave.

“Gu Juexi.” Madame Gu’s voice rang out.

Gu Juexi turned his head to look at the old woman in a wheelchair.

The old woman’s wheelchair stopped at the edge of the steps. Her wrinkly face looked tired.

“Juexi, you are not allowed to leave.”

Gu Juexi clenched his fists.

“You don’t have the right to tell me what to do. In fact, it would be best for you to think of ways to atone for what you did in the past.”

“Atonement?” Madame Gu laughed. “All I did was kill a wench.”

Gu Juexi unclenched his fists slowly. “The reason you couldn’t kill Nalan Chunbo was because he is your real grandson, isn’t it?”

Madame Gu’s face immediately twisted in anger. It seemed like what Gu Juexi said might have been the truth.

“You… What did you just say?”

“Do I need to repeat myself? You should know better than anyone what Gu Tianmu did in the past. In order to protect your own son, you killed that woman, didn’t you?” Gu Juexi’s words rang loud and clear.

“Such a pity that you weren’t cruel enough. You left a little wolf alive, and now the wolf is out for revenge. You didn’t think this through, did you?”

“Juexi.” Madame Gu gripped the handles of her wheelchair tightly and watched Gu Juexi turn to leave.

“If you choose to continue down this path, the first person your father will kill is Ye Yuwei. You should know that Nalan Chunbo is his real son. The only remaining member of the Ye family is Ye Yuwei. Do you really want your dad to kill her?”

Gu Juexi turned around. He looked surprised and a bit pained.

“Nalan Chunbo really is Gu Tianmu’s son,” Gu Juexi said softly before barking out a laugh.

Gu Juexi was able to figure it out a long time ago, it’s just that there was no proof. Now Madame Gu had confirmed it. The feeling of accomplishment was not what he expected though.

Ai Mijia had mentioned that Gu Tianmu had a bastard child, so she wasn’t lying. It’s just that he couldn’t investigate that in the past.

“Juexi, your mother has already let go of the past, why did you have to investigate?” Madame Gu’s voice was low.

“So what you’re saying is my mother has to live the rest of her life with the Gu family’s fury? That she asked to live like she’s dying of her own free will? That she asked to be isolated for the rest of her life?”

“She brought this upon herself.” Madame Gu’s words made something in Gu Juexi snap.

Rage burned in him as he looked up at the old woman who was tied to him by blood.

This person was no longer the loving grandmother he once knew.

“Grandma, how did you become this… this monster?” Gu Juexi asked emotionlessly.

“It happened when your wretched mother married into this family.” Madame Gu’s tongue was sharp and poisonous.

“Up until today, your mother still remembers that man. And now, another lowly woman has married you, and it is because that low life is that man’s daughter.”
