Gu Tianmu hung his head low. There were some bloodstains on his s.h.i.+rt sleeve, indicating he had reopened his wound, but he didn’t seem to care.

Wen Jie s.h.i.+vered in rage, the blood drained from her face.

“Mom, you—”

“You too, shut up!” Wen Jie snarled furiously, cutting him off.

Gu Juexi was taken by surprise and froze. This was the first time his mother had scolded him.

The only person who treated him with respect and loved him since he was young was his mother. She was always so gentle and loving, she spoke to him softly and taught him to reason. This was the first time that Wen Jie had spoken to him so harshly.

He, however, could not argue.

Gu Juexi curled his hands into tight fists and lowered his gaze like Gu Tianmu.

Ye Yuwei kept silent because she was also at fault, and her fault was much worse than Gu Juexi’s.

“Mom, take a seat first.” Ye Yuwei quickly helped Wen Jie sit on the sofa when she felt her body trembling. “You are not well, don’t get worked up because of your anger.”

At that moment, Wen Jie felt light-headed and dizzy too, so she leaned back against the sofa.

“She was just a child, what did she do to you, honestly? Why don’t you just let her go? What do you want from her?” Wen Jie growled. She felt a sharp pain in her liver area, but she endured it.

Ye Yuwei rushed away to get the medicine, then came back and kneeled beside Wen Jie, putting the medicine in her hand. “Mom—”

Wen Jie looked at the medicine and grinned suddenly. Her grin looked bitter and heartbroken.

“Mom, I promise you, I will give you closure regarding this matter. As for Wen Lan and Ai Mijia, I will make them pay for this,” Gu Juexi kneeled beside the sofa and said in a stern yet gentle voice. It was a promise for Wen Jie and also for Ye Yuwei.
