Chapter 300 - Far From Expectation (2/2)

Bai Yuyan could hardly maintain her smile after what Gu Juexi said.

“What do you mean? I asked her to help out in the kitchen. Can’t she help with the housework since she is not working?” said the old mistress while staring at her grandson.

“Grandma,” said Gu Juexi while looking into the old mistress’ eyes, “To be fair, have you worked or done any housework since you married into the Gu family?”

Ye Yuwei heard what Gu Juexi said and looked at him in surprise. His words were harsh, but he meant every single word. And Ye Yuwei noticed that the old mistress has begun to pant upon hearing what Gu Juexi said.

“Gu Juexi…” Ye Yuwei called out his name softly.

“You keep your mouth shut,” Gu Juexi roared at Ye Yuwei, “Useless.”

“Well. Very well, Gu Juexi,” said the old mistress as she picked up her walking stick and pointed at Gu Juexi shakily, “Has that wh.o.r.e swayed you to this? Why would you say something like that to your grandmother?”

Ye Yuwei did not look at the two of them quarreling. As a wh.o.r.e, all she wanted now was to leave this place.

Gu Juexi held Ye Yuwei’s hand throughout and looked at the old mistress who was so displeased. He did not mean to be rude to his grandmother, but he was p.i.s.sed at how useless Ye Yuwei could be sometimes.

He was running out of time, but he could not leave Ye Yuwei being so sanctimonious.

“Juexi was just worried about Yuwei, Grandma. So please don’t take it to heart. I will see if dinner is ready. Let’s get ready to eat,” said Bai Yuyan who finally sounded like a guest.

The old mistress finally looked less ghastly after what Bai Yuyan said, but was still not quite happy about Ye Yuwei.

“Why are you still standing there?” Gu Juexi said to Ye Yuwei as he walked upstairs to change.

Ye Yuwei was speechless. ‘He’s really something.’

Gu Juexi was always the one who had the say—telling her to come out from the kitchen, and telling her to go back to the kitchen. And she could not be bothered to listen to their instructions or even to stay at this place if it weren’t that she was trying to avoid conflict.
