The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Gu Juexi looked at the little boy who had got down from his bed and wished that he could just kick him out from the room.

He looked at the mother and son who got into bed together and made up his mind silently. Didn’t Yu Jiangqing like this boy a lot? He would make Yu Jiangqing take him with him when he was old enough to make sure that he didn’t mess with him anymore.

“I could feel the old meatball setting me up,” said Ye Xicheng softly in Ye Yuwei’s arms.

“He is your father, why would he set you up?” Ye Yuwei chuckled.

“I am sure that he is planning to kick me out of the house,” said Ye Xicheng with a serious face.

“He wouldn’t dare,” said Ye Yuwei as she kissed Ye Xicheng’s little head, “get some sleep, aren’t you going up the mountain with Grandpa Yuan to get some herbs?”

“Okay,” Ye Xicheng yawned and said. He did promise Grandpa Yuan to go up the mountain with him for Xixi’s herbs.

Gu Juexi squinted at the mother and son who were talking just loud enough for him to hear. That little boy was really quite smart.

Ye Yuwei grabbed her phone from the table after Ye Xicheng fell asleep and saw the message that Xiao Yaojing sent that was marked with “read”.

“Did you look at my message, Gu Juexi?” asked Ye Yuwei emotionlessly while replying Xiao Yaojing’s message.

“I never stopped you from looking at mine,” said Gu Juexi naturally without even leaving the table he was sitting at.

Ye Yuwei looked towards the man and wondered how he had the cheek to say that. Men like him got messages once in a blue moon, and even those that they received were for text message advertising.

So who wanted to look at his messages?

Who cares about his messages!

[Yezi: Just get him into bed already. What are you worrying about when you have already made up your mind?

Yaojing: Look at the news, sweetie. Who do I get into bed with now that PA Wen is gone?

Yezi: What’s wrong?

Yaojing: Xin Cheng Energy is on the news again, together with your man.

Yezi: Why this time?

Yaojing: I heard it was because of the environmental impact assessment that Xin Cheng Energy didn’t do. They only realized it when they found contaminated groundwater. Wen Tao has gone to the Department of Environment to settle it.

Yezi: …]

“Xin Cheng Energy contaminates groundwater?” Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi.

“The minister who stepped down recently has a cousin who works at the Department of Environment,” said Gu Juexi emotionlessly, “what do you think?”

“They were doing it illegally?” asked Ye Yuwei in disbelief, “our government is getting so strict nowadays. Have they lost their minds?”

“I wouldn’t say it’s illegal,” said Gu Juexi, his lips curled as he turned the mug on the table.

“What do you mean?” asked Ye Yuwei, confused.

The mug spun on the table then quieted down with the water in it rippling.

“Get Nalan Chunbo on the line, there is something that I need to tell him,” said Gu Juexi suddenly after the rippling stopped.

Ye Yuwei was stunned at Gu Juexi’s request. “My brother said that he had been quite busy at the bank, so…”

“I am sure he has time for a call,” said Gu Juexi emotionlessly as he looked at Ye Yuwei, “it is just a call, why are you so nervous?”

The way Gu Juexi said it made Ye Yuwei even more nervous.

Because as of today, every piece of information that they found showed that it had something to do with Ye Di, mother of Nalan Chunbo.
