Gu Juexi was admitted for almost half a month for his injuries. As the mid-autumn festival approached, Gu Juexi’s plan for his wedding photos was completely off schedule and he was not happy about it.

Xixi continued to shut out everyone other than Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei, and she would scream and cry if they ever left her sight.

The doctor said that Xixi might be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, which would have been triggered by her experiencing and witnessing a terrifying event. She would have to rely on her parents for security to face the people and things around her as a result.

There was no way to solve this except by healing the trauma herself, and no one would be able to tell how long that would take.

Yuan Mo visited Gu Mansion the day Gu Juexi was discharged. Xixi called out Yuan Mo’s name happily when she saw him, but kept looking back for her mother to make sure that she was following before she went to him.

Ye Yuwei had her eyes on Xixi throughout as she stood in Xixi’s line of sight.

As Butler Kim helped Gu Juexi into the house, Ye Xicheng quickly went over to the sofa to make sure that there were enough cus.h.i.+ons to make Gu Juexi feel comfortable.

Gu Juexi noticed how nice his son had been to him and raised his brows. It was an incredible feeling that was beyond words.

“Mummy,” Xixi called out and looked around for her mother suddenly.

“Mummy’s here,” Ye Yuwei answered while sitting on the sofa.

Xixi felt at ease after hearing her mother’s voice and happily went with Yuan Mo to take her toys out to the living room to play.

“Where is Auntie Yuan?” asked Gu Juexi after looking around and seeing no sign of her.

“She sued Mingsheng and is now in the US for the lawsuit,” Ye Yuwei looked at Wen Jie who was coming down from the stairs and said. She had only recently learned about this, and was surprised at how determined Auntie Yuan was on suing her own son. Wen Jie did try to talk Auntie Yuan out of it, and even ordered her not to sue her own son but to no avail.

Auntie chose to sue her own son in court, maybe because he didn’t live up to her expectations.

If she put herself in Auntie Yuan’s shoes, she might beat Ye Xicheng up if he did the same.

“Sounds fine,” Gu Juexi leaned back against the sofa and said after a while.

Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi in disbelief. Gu Tianmu had said the exact same thing when Wen Jie tried to get him to convince Auntie Yuan.

“It should be at most three years’ imprisonment for what he has done. He could have gotten himself into bigger trouble a few years down the road, that’s what you should have been worrying about,” Gu Juexi said emotionlessly as he looked at Ye Yuwei then at the man who was reading the newspaper on the single seater sofa.

Gu Tianmu looked up from his newspaper glance at Gu Juexi briefly, then turned back to his newspaper again without a word.

Ye Yuwei saw the acknowledgement in Gu Tianmu’s eyes when he looked at Gu Juexi.

“Mummy.”

“Mummy’s here,” Ye Yuwei said as she turned to her daughter who was looking at her. Xixi continued to play with her toys in relief after she saw her mother.

“What are we going to do if Xixi continues to be like this?” asked Wen Jie worriedly, “that little girl’s life has been so difficult.”

Ye Yuwei lowered her gaze. She felt sorry for her daughter too, and she wished that she could have taken all the suffering for her.

“Your father and I have prepared most of the things that you will need for the wedding. Please see if there is anything else you need since the mid-autumn festival is just around the corner,” said Wen Jie.
