Chapter 996 - Maybe Ye Shu Will Be Present Today
Panda Novel
At nine at night, Wen Jie’s flight landed at the international airport.
Wen Jie traveled light. She stood at the gate of the airport, looking at the city she was so familiar with. She had returned to this place in the end.
While Wen Jie was still standing, a car stopped right in front of her.
Aunt Gu wound the car window down and shouted, “Get in.”
Wen Jie glanced around her before opening the car door and getting in. “Why are you here?”
“Gu Tianmu has initiated his attack on Ye Yuwei,” Aunt Gu remarked. She eyed the woman who was now sitting beside her and gestured for the driver to start driving. “I always thought you were the only one in the Gu family who saw everything, why you didn’t stop Gu Juexi?”
Wen Jie’s anguish dissolved and she sneered sarcastically, “Aunt Gu, you have been submissive and obedient all these years, I thought you had forgotten past scandals so you could protect your wealth and glory.”
Aunt Gu merely chuckled. “Yes, I do intend to guard my wealth and live a good life; after all, I do own half of Gu family’s money. I’m just bored and don’t want to miss this incredible drama.”
Wen Jie studied Aunt Gu in astonishment and said, “You are a smart person, you know perfectly well how to survive in the Gu family. You can just leave with all the money you have since the old Mr. Gu has passed away. Why do you want to stay back and get involved in this mess?”
“Oh, nothing in particular, I’m just curious about how Wen Lan dies,” Aunt Gu looked at her fingernails as she spoke. A sudden thought seemed to strike her and she continued, “Ah! I suppose you are not aware that Wen Lan is still alive.”
Upon Aunt Gu’s provoking, Wen Jie curled her hands into fists. She remained composed and asked, “What does that information have to do with me?”
“Bravo, selfless and noble Young Mistress of the Gu family, you are surprisingly calmer than I expected,” Aunt Gu mocked with a wicked laugh, “I wonder when your attitude changed? Was it when everyone was berating you? Or was it when Gu Tianmu broke things off with you? Or was it—”
“Enough! That has nothing to do with you,” Wen Jie interrupted angrily, “If you can’t take me to Gu Tianmu, then stop the car right now.”
“Do you seriously want to make an enemy of Gu Tianmu again all because of Ye Shu’s daughter?” Aunt Gu giggled nastily. “The first time was for Ye Shu’s sister, this time is for Ye Shu’s daughter; unfortunately, Ye Shu did not and never will love you.”
“Not everyone is as crooked as you are,” Wen Jie chided in disgust. There was a sincere siblings’ love between Ye Shu and her; he was also the person closest to her after Gu Juexi.
“You can’t change Gu Tianmu’s mind even if you meet him now,” Aunt Gu continued tauntingly, “Instead of going to Gu Tianmu, why don’t you go and have a tearful reunion with your father? You know, to settle the business between you and your sister?”
Aunt Gu watched Wen Jie like she was at the front row seat of a show. The show could not start unless Wen Jie went to her father.
“If you go to see Wen Chenghao, Gu Tianmu will definitely be there too. Besides, don’t you want to know why Ye Shu did all this?” Aunt Gu spoke softly, almost as if she was whispering into Wen Jie’s ear, “Ruining his own daughter for your integrity, I must say this man is exceptionally good to you.”
Wen Jie’s fists clenched again.
“Maybe Ye Shu will be present tonight, aren’t you curious at all?” Aunt Gu continued, eyes gleaming wickedly.
