Chapter 1134 - You’re Happy to Be Playing Matchmaker, Aren’t You?
Ye Yuwei glanced at Gu Juexi gleefully. She was delighted to see him so miserable.
Meanwhile, Xiaolian was waiting at the table. She purposely put on a sad face to get Gu Juexi’s attention.
Ye Yuwei was indifferent and Gu Juexi was ignoring her too.
The whole family was having their dinner peacefully while Xiaolian was trying her best to make her unhappiness known.
It was a mystery as to how she was so confident that Gu Juexi would scold Ye Yuwei for her. A delusional girl, she was.
“Mom, the hospital called earlier asking us to go tomorrow since Gu Tianmu’s surgery will be scheduled in the next few days. However, Weiwei and I have a meeting at SRC tomorrow, so you may have to go to the hospital on our behalf,” Gu Juexi said suddenly.
Ye Yuwei was aware of this since Gu Juexi had informed her in the afternoon. Not only had she refused to go, but she had also sternly declared that Gu Juexi must not go as well. She wanted to make sure Mom would have to go.
Gu Juexi was reluctant because of his issues with Gu Tianmu, but he didn’t dare oppose his wife.
Wen Jie arched her eyebrows sarcastically. Gu Juexi stopped talking altogether.
Ye Yuwei exchanged a calculative look with Gu Juexi before she turned to Wen Jie and said, “Mom, tomorrow’s agenda is about the application of the Xin Cheng Energy Phase III project so Juexi wants to look into it himself. You probably know that Xin Cheng Energy is Gu Enterprise’s key project. I’ve been busy with the data reports for the past two days, and even I don’t trust others well enough to let them handle this.”
Wen Jie gazed at Ye Yuwei with narrowed eyes. She quickly lowered her head, face heating.
Wen Jie’s gaze was sharp and terrifying.
“Alright, I’ll go to the hospital tomorrow.” Of course, Wen Jie instantly knew Ye Yuwei’s intention but she felt that Ye Yuwei’s move was pointless.
At Wen Jie’s agreement, Ye Yuwei was overjoyed, purposefully ignoring Gu Juexi’s glare of disdain. As long as they could spend time together, there was a chance of reconciling.
Gu Juexi mouthed, “You’re happy to be playing matchmaker, aren’t you?”
Ye Yuwei mouthed back, “I want to do it and it’s none of your business.”
Defeated, Gu Juexi chose to continue eating. Not only was it none of his business, but he also had to help her put on a show. The decision-making had shifted into Ye Yuwei’s hands.
Gu Juexi was already grumpy when his wife trumped him in their verbal battle, but the miserable face that kept appearing in his field of vision pissed him off even more.
“Do you have a funeral at home or something? Did your father or mother die? Go and handle your family affairs or any of your personal problems on your own, just who do you want to show that grumpy face of yours to?” Gu Juexi snarled at Xiaolian. “Butler Kim!”
Butler Kim who was busy with his chores outside quickly stopped his work and dashed in. “Yes, Young Master?”
Ye Yuwei was eating her dinner leisurely, feeding her daughter from time to time.
“Since when did Gu Mansion become a refugee shelter? Who does she want to show her grumpy face to? Did she not get her salary or was she bullied?” Gu Juexi growled, his expression turning ferocious. He put down his chopsticks and glared at Bai Xiaolian who was trembling in fear and despair.
“Young Master, please have your dinner. I’ll talk to her,” Butler Kim said apologetically as he pulled Xiaolian away from the dining hall. “Why do you wait at their table? Don’t you have other tasks to do? I didn’t recruit you to seduce our Young Master.”
“Butler Kim, I… I’m not,” Bai Xiaolian sobbed, “I’m just afraid that there will be an unexpected situation when Young Master eats, so—”
“Even if Young Master has a problem, it’s none of your concern! Who do you think you are?” Butler Kim chided as he dragged Xiaolian outside. He had planned to talk to her about her recent unprofessional attitude at work, and now seemed to be a perfect time.
