Wen Jie could recognize the person, but she couldn’t remember his name. “h.e.l.lo.” She nodded slightly.

“Madame Gu came here with Chairman Gu to pick up the children?” Nalan Jing smiled.

Wen Jie turned back to glance at Gu Tianmu, who was waiting in the car with a menacing expression. “Their parents were busy, and we had some free time, so we came over. Are you here to pick up your child too?”

“I wish. My son is all grown up and yet he doesn’t want to get married.” Nalan Jing continued, “Is your health better?”

“It’s the same old problem, but I’m much better now.” Wen Jie explained.

Gu Tianmu brows furrowed at their small talk. “It’s about time to leave.”

Ye Xicheng looked up at Gu Tianmu and scoffed. This was indeed his biological grandfather. His jealousy was on par with the old meatball’s.

Wen Jie nodded slightly. “I’m sorry.”

Nalan Jing was indifferent as he watched Wen Jie get into the car.

Their car disappeared into the distance while Nalan Jing watched on.

“Master Jing, we didn’t manage to catch him.” A bodyguard approached hastily from nearby and announced.

Nalan Jing’s expression darkened. “Get more people. Madame Gu’s safety is of utmost priority.”

The bodyguard nodded and got into the car with Nalan Jing.

“Master Jing, the Gu family had treated Mistress so badly in the past. Why does Master Jing protect Mrs. Gu to this extent?”

Nalan Jing stared out the window and remained silent. The bodyguard did not press on further, and there was silence in the car.

‘Why does he protect Wen Jie? Is it because she is the only person in this world who still sees him as a good man?’

“Find out who is secretly following Mrs. Gu as soon as possible.” Nalan Jing seemed to snap out of his daze. “What about Nalan Chunbo?”

“Young Master is still at the fis.h.i.+ng village. Does Master Jing want to go over?” The bodyguard glanced at his boss in the rear mirror while he drove.

“There’s no need for that. He wouldn’t want to see me right now,” Nalan Jing replied emotionlessly and leaned against the backrest. “What is the name of the young maiden?”

“Wen Shan. Gu Enterprise CEO’s PA’s younger sister,” the bodyguard blurted out.

Nalan Jing nodded.

In the Lincoln, Gu Tianmu’s expression remained dark. Xixi’s head kept sinking lower, and she eventually gave in and dozed off in her grandpa’s arms.

“Who was that man?” Gu Tianmu demanded as if he had just caught his wife having an affair with another man.

Wen Jie was leaning against the side of the car with her grandson in her arms. Hearing his question filled with jealousy and disdain, Wen Jie retorted, “Gu Tianmu, that man’s ident.i.ty is no concern of yours.”

“I –” Gu Tianmu choked out, startled by the reply.

“We divorced a long time ago. Earlier, I didn’t explain it because I didn’t want to complicate things. I have the freedom to do what I want, and you have no business meddling in my affairs,” Wen Jie explained casually, without any emotions.

Ye Xicheng raised his head to look up at his grandmother. His daddy’s excellent way of dealing with people did not come from his grandfather, but from his grandmother.

“Why are you still living with me then?” Gu Tianmu’s blood boiled.

“Your son is supporting your living expenses, and my son is supporting my living expenses. I guess the only thing we have in common is our son. If you’re not happy with the arrangement, you can get your son to buy you another house. You’ve almost recovered from your injuries anyway.”

Gu Tianmu inhaled sharply. “Can’t you have a decent conversation with me?”

“A decent conversation? I’ll have a decent conversation with you when you decide to have a decent conversation with Weiwei. Otherwise, if you find my words too p.r.i.c.kly, you may choose not to converse with me.” Wen Jie refused to compromise.

“Ye Yuwei, Ye Yuwei. That Ye Yuwei holds such an important place in your heart?”

“Grandpa,” Ye Xicheng said suddenly and looked up at Gu Tianmu.
