It was one in the morning. Gu Juexi walked out of his bedroom and glanced at the children’s room which was tightly shut.
He sighed heavily and went straight downstairs to the wine cabinet. He grabbed a bottle of wine, uncorked it and drank it alone at the bar counter.
In the days before Xiao Yaojing’s wedding, an strange atmosphere circulated Gu Mansion.
Young Master still had his usual gloomy face on.
Young Mistress still had her good temper.
However, the both of them weren’t talking to each other.
In the past, no matter what happened, Young Master would coax Young Mistress until her heart softened. This time, even Young Master was angry. It must be a very big deal.
Hence, everyone in Gu Mansion was treading on eggshells.
The night before Xiao Yaojing’s wedding, Ye Yuwei wanted her children to stay at Xiao Yaojing’s house. However, since the two little ones were the flower girl and ringbearer for the wedding, Gu Juexi had to send them to the hotel early in the morning the next day, so they couldn’t tag along.
Therefore, Ye Yuwei went to Xiao Yaojing’s house alone.
After Ye Yuwei left, Ye Xicheng looked up at Gu Juexi who was cuddling his sister and said, “Did you offend my mommy again?”
Without a word, Gu Juexi turned to leave with his daughter in tow. He had no idea why Ye Yuwei was angry and he didn’t want to be the one who backed down every single time, so he decided not to give in this time.
Wen Jie sighed as she gazed at her son.
Auntie Yuan said with a smile while peeling oranges for Wen Jie, “I used to feel that there was something missing between them. Don’t you think they look like a normal couple now? Fighting in a relationship is normal, and it can even be healthy.”
Wen Jie pondered Auntie Yuan’s words. They made sense.
Being overly dutiful and respectful would make the marriage boring.
Fighting could help improve and strengthen a relationship, so as a mother, she decided to back down and let them handle their own affairs.
By the time Ye Yuwei arrived at Xiao Yaojing’s house, her relatives were gathered there, discussing wedding matters. Ye Yuwei greeted them then went straight to Xiao Yaojing’s room.
“I heard that Jingjing found a country boy, is it true?” It was Xiao Yaojing’s second aunt speaking, the wife of some company’s CEO.
“Don’t you think Jingjing is out of a country boy’s league? She could do better.” This time, it was another aunt speaking, an entrepreneur of sorts.
“What country boy? What’s wrong if he’s from the countryside? Aren’t we all? I’m from the countryside too. Wen Tao’s mother was my junior high classmate. She would have become someone much greater than any of us here if she didn’t drop out of school,” Mrs. Xiao thundered as she came out from the kitchen with fruits in the tray on her hands. She slammed it on the table and continued, “Do you know who booked the hotels for you? Accommodation at a five-star hotel, a tour arrangement around B City after the wedding—where do you think the money came from? It’s from them!”
“Sister, we were just joking, don’t be mad.” The second aunt seemed to be very scared of Mrs. Xiao as her tone became very meek.
“You better watch your mouth tomorrow. My classmate has two PhDs in her house, do you have any?”
Ye Yuwei carefully closed the door, blocking the noise from outside.
“Wow, I’ve finally seen your mom’s forked tongue,” Ye Yuwei said in awe, looking at Xiao Yaojing who was leaning on her bed with her phone in her hand.
Xiao Yaojing’s room had been decorated extensively for the wedding. Her quilt was replaced with a bright red Double Happiness quilt, and several wedding ornaments were stuck on the window and walls.
“My mom is the ‘I am the only one who can insult her’ kind of person,” Xiao Yaojing scoffed. She put down her phone and looked at Ye Yuwei.
