Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Yuwei swayed in place as she looked at Gu Juexi who was slowly standing up. “They called me the iron maiden. They said that I worked my life off to get to this position, but in this industry where everything is unfair to the women, what else could I have done? If I did not work hard and gave up everything that I had, where would I be now?”

Gu Juexi had been in this industry for such a long time, and therefore, he understood what Ye Yuwei was trying to tell him.

He could already imagine the hardships and pain that Ye Yuwei had to endure and pull through by herself for the past few years to get to where she is.

Even if Nalan Chunbo was around, given Ye Yuwei’s character, she would not accept anyone’s protection just like that.

“I cannot be pulled down. If I fall down, then both my children will have no one that they could rely on,” Ye Yuwei said as she placed her hand on Gu Juexi’s shoulder. “Therefore, Gu Juexi, I tried so hard, I tried my best to stand and support myself in the cruel world just so I can be completely away from you. Gu Juexi, isn’t that what you had been hoping for? Isn’t that what you wanted all along?” Ye Yuwei laughed and let go off her hand that was placed on Gu Juexi’s shoulder before walking out of the bathroom.

Gu Juexi crushed the cup that he held in his hand. The glass shards cut into his palm but he could not feel any pain at all.

There was the sound of the apartment door closing outside as Gu Juexi’s blood dripped from his palm onto the bathroom floor.

He was the one who had forced Ye Yuwei to grow up and stand up for herself.

But at that time, he had no other choice.

Ye Yuwei took a taxi back to the hotel and slept for the whole afternoon. It was only after Nalan Chunbo returned that she finally woke up and decided to head to her mother-in-law’s house to pick the children up.

When she was about to go out, she was shocked when she saw Nalan Chunbo who was leaning against her bedroom door. “You scared me! What are you doing?”

“Have you been drinking?” Nalan Chunbo asked as Ye Yuwei still reeked of alcohol even though she had already showered. Nalan Chunbo looked at Ye Yuwei with a frown on his face.

“Yaojing is heartbroken as she just lost her chance of having a relationship. That is why I accompanied her for a drink,” Ye Yuwei replied quickly, trying to avoid a confrontation with her brother. “I left the car near the shopping mall, let me go and get it first.”

“You came home by yourself right after drinking?” Nalan Chunbo asked as he helped her put on her coat.

Ye Yuwei was stunned for a moment. She smiled as she turned around and said, “Yes brother, I took a taxi home. I did not want to drive after drinking.”

Nalan Chunbo tried to get more information from observing Ye Yuwei but he did not have any chance to take a good look at her as Ye Yuwei quickly turned around to leave the hotel room.

“Weiwei, are you sure that your friend is the only reason why you are drinking?” Nalan Chunbo suddenly asked when she was about to close the door.

Ye Yuwei stared at Nalan Chunbo and replied, “I have something that I need to talk to you about. It is regarding Bai Yuyan. Let’s talk when I come back.”

Nalan Chunbo looked at the door that had been closed. She was really very good at changing the topic.

Ye Yuwei collected her car from the five-star hotel behind the shopping mall and immediately drove to Gu Mansion.

When Ye Yuwei arrived at Gu Mansion, Gu Juexi was playing with Xixi. His hand was bandaged and wrapped in gauze and Xixi was carefully touching it, feeling pained for him.

Ye Xicheng was sitting opposite them, staring at Gu Juexi and trying to find out how he had injured himself. He was also trying to get his sister to feel less compassionate for that old meatball.

“Mommy!” Ye Xicheng yelled as soon as he saw his mother walking into the house. He hurriedly jumped off the sofa and ran over to hug his mother’s thighs. He looked up at his mother with his small head and smiled happily. It was only when he smelled alcohol on his mother that he started frowning. “Mommy, have you been drinking again?”

Ye Yuwei felt ashamed as she had been caught red-handed by her son who was staring at her intensely. Ye Yuwei smiled as she reached out her hand and patted Ye Xicheng on his head. “Don’t worry, Mommy was only drinking with your godmother. I did not get drunk. Look at me. Mommy is fine.”

As soon as Ye Yuwei spoke, Gu Juexi’s hands that were holding Xixi tightened a little.

He could even visualize her vomiting every time he closed his eyes now. She said she was not drunk?

That liar.
