Chapter 791 - Aren't You a Persistent Matchmaker
Panda Novel
Butler Kim’s words made Ye Yuwei uneasy and she was worried about what might happen next.
No matter what happened though, Auntie Mao’s funeral should carry on.
Knowing that Auntie Mao believed in feng shui when she was alive, Gu Juexi had professionals look for a graveyard with the best feng shui in B City and arranged for Auntie Mao to be buried there. Gu Juexi was allowed to leave the ward for Auntie Mao’s funeral.
Not many came for the funeral. Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei were there of course, together with PA Wen and Lu Qichuan.
Gu Juexi sat in a wheelchair and looked at the photo on the tombstone.
Never would he have imagined that the last time they spoke would be when Auntie Mao told him those stories.
Ye Yuwei stood beside Gu Juexi and bent over to place the lilies on Auntie Mao’s tomb. She reached out to wipe some dirt off the tombstone.
“I know you wouldn’t want to tire the kids, Auntie Mao, so I let them stay at home,” said Ye Yuwei softly. “You have been taking care of me since I married into the Gu family. Gu Juexi and I wouldn’t have lasted until now if it weren’t for you.”
But Auntie Mao would never hear these words.
Ye Yuwei then stood up straight and looked at Gu Juexi who was still sitting in a wheelchair.
Lu Qichuan gestured to the side with his chin, silently asking Ye Yuwei to leave Gu Juexi alone for a while.
Ye Yuwei figured that Gu Juexi must have lots to say to Auntie Mao, so she nodded at Lu Qichuan and left with him and PA Wen.
PA Wen left the graveyard and told the rest that he had to go do some work.
“Aren’t you on leave?” asked Ye Yuwei curiously.
“I was bored at home so I thought I might as well do some work,” PA Wen smiled and said.
“Wow, look at the quality of Gu Juexi’s employee. Work for me, PA Wen, I am willing to pay you five times the amount Gu Juexi is paying you now,” said Lu Qichuan jokingly.
“Stop teasing me, Mr. Lu, you have plenty of better employees,” PA Wen said, feeling embarrassed but slightly flattered.
“Why don’t you look for Yaojing if you are bored?” Ye Yuwei suggested directly, “why do you think you got so many days off?”
“Look for her?” PA Wen smiled bitterly. He remembered the way Xiao Yaojing threw him over her shoulder like it was yesterday.
“Yes. Didn’t she send you lunch? It’s your turn now.” Ye Yuwei conveniently left out that fact that it was her idea for Xiao Yaojing to send PA Wen lunch. “She even slapped that junior of yours in front of everyone for you! You…” Before Ye Yuwei could finish, PA Wen had gotten into his car and left. Ye Yuwei looked at the car driving off and smiled smugly.
“Aren’t you a persistent matchmaker,” Lu Qichuan chuckled.
Ye Yuwei’s mind went blank for a second and the satisfied look on her face disappeared. “Brother Lu, Yaojing and you…”
“I understand, I was to blame. I should have explained it to her earlier, but I am happy with the way things are now. PA Wen seems like a great guy,” said Lu Qichuan, “alright then, I should get going too. You can wait here, right?”
Ye Yuwei looked at Lu Qichuan getting into his car and decided to ask him after much consideration, “Brother Lu, is Sichen’s mother Tan Chenxiao?”
Lu Qichuan’s hand froze and he slowly turned to look at Ye Yuwei.
The mountain breeze ruffled Ye Yuwei’s hair but she looked at Lu Qichuan steadily.
Lu Qichuan held the car door so tightly the veins on the back of his hand popped, but he slowly relaxed after a while.
