Chapter 1335 - Confession
Gu Mansion.
Ye Yuwei, Mo Fei and the two children were in the children’s room upstairs.
Ye Yuwei wanted to go downstairs and watch, but Gu Juexi forbade her and said she had nothing to do with it. Ye Yuwei understood that the real reason was that they might mention Ye Shu and the mistakes he committed, then blame her for it.
Mo Fei was playing video games with Ye Xicheng. She was irritated by Ye Yuwei’s anxious pacing and chided, “Just go if you are so curious, you are such an eyesore.”
Xixi, who was sitting beside her brother, giggled delightedly. It was as if she found her mother being scolded fun.
In the living hall, the atmosphere was horrifying and depressing. Gu Juexi was not the main player in this interrogation, he was merely there as a spectator to listen to the proceedings.
Nalan Chunbo leaned against the door with downcast eyes and looked at his phone, Wen Shan’s photo on the phone to be exact. He swiped left and right through his gallery because that was the only picture of her he had.
Wen Lan was crouching on the floor, her face red and swollen. Wen Jie sat on the sofa, calm and composed.
“Wen Lan, the evils we bring on ourselves are the hardest to bear,” Wen Jie said to Wen Lan, her voice flat. She had already questioned her before, and this time, she decided she would not get agitated again.
[Husband: She confessed.
Wife: Ai Mijia was the main culprit, wasn’t she?]
Wen Lan screamed at the top of her lungs, but everyone just stared at her emotionlessly.
[Husband: I want to tell a story again, but unfortunately I still lack one member of the audience.
Wife: Can you not do it, please?
Husband: You know what my answer is, my sweet wife.]
“Butler Kim, please take her to the basement. We’ll meet her bestie in a few days,” Gu Juexi said. He put away his phone and looked blankly at the woman crouching on the floor. “Aunt Gu must be so eager and excited to see her.”
Wen Lan was taken away amidst her screaming and struggling. Nalan Chunbo stood by the door for a little while longer then turned to leave.
Gu Juexi looked at Nalan Chunbo’s back as he left the house. It looked like the man had decided to give up for real.
He wasn’t giving up on Wen Shan, but himself.
He was beyond rescue.
