Gu Juexi lifted his hand for a high five. “Deal.”

Ye Yuwei high-fived him and rested her head back on his shoulder. “Why do I feel like I’m making a deal with a bandit?”

“Uh-huh, I am the chief, you are the lady chief.” Gu Juexi turned his head and kissed Ye Yuwei’s forehead fondly.

Ye Yuwei despised the given t.i.tle. “If you are the chief, I bet there is a long queue for those who want the t.i.tle of lady chief.”

“The place is taken. Three’s a crowd,” Gu Juexi sighed.

“Sounds like you regret the decision.” Ye Yuwei’s expression turned dark and she aimed a cold stare at the man.

Gu Juexi was dumbfounded.

‘A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets.’

“We’ll head to the States once Xixi’s condition is stabilized,” he announced, diverting the topic at once.

Ye Yuwei nodded. They had to start their investigation from the beginning in order to understand the whole matter.

In an unnamed country, in a dark and gloomy room with drawn curtains.

A man listened to reports while spinning a pen in his hand.

“There was no fight?” the man asked in his hoa.r.s.e voice, sounding surprised.

The man who presented the reports looked up, clueless. “No, they did not fight.”

“That’s weird. Ye Yuwei is Gu Juexi’s lifeblood indeed. As long as she is around, all of his common senses are no longer common,” the man said. He turned his chair but his face could not be seen.

“Keep your eyes on them. It seems like Gu Juexi has some information in his hands already, I want them to continue the journey until the end.”

“Yes,” the man uttered. Just as he turned around to leave, he thought of something and returned his gaze to the sofa. “There’s one more thing: Gu Tianmu has arrived in Shennongjia.”

“Hmph, the most pathetic member of the Gu family. He’s not our problem, leave him be.”

He wanted to continue but the man on the sofa waved his hand, so he turned around and left.

“Gu Juexi, I hope you can keep it up, don’t disappoint me.”

Pang!

The pen in his hand dropped onto the floor loudly, covering his echo.

B city, the legendary meeting of the parents.

The meeting was held at a hotel owned by Gu Enterprise, the one where PA Wen and Xiao Yaojing had the birthday celebration. They booked a room for the meeting.

Both mothers were sizing each other up.

Xiao Yaojing sat beside Wen Tao who was cleaning the cups for the parents.

“I feel like we are in the calm before the storm,” Xiao Yaojing whispered and reached for PA Wen’s shoulder.

Wen Tao peeked at the parents anxiously. He adjusted his gla.s.ses, cleared his throat and said, “Uncle and Aunty, these are my parents. Mom, Dad, these are Jingjing’s parents.”

The silence continued in the room after Wen Tao’s introduction. Mr. Wen and Mr. Xiao exchanged glances and smiled awkwardly as a form of simple greeting.

Xiao Yaojing blinked innocently when she felt Wen Tao’s stare aiming at her. “Why are you looking at me like that? I don’t know what will happen.”

“Your daughter doesn’t look like you at all. She is not your biological daughter, right? After all, you look too devious and witchy to be her mother.” Mrs. Wen was the first to break the silence.

Wen Tao nearly dropped his cup in shock. He looked at his mother in horror and dread.

“Preach! Look at yourself, your face looks like a shoehorn. I bet he is not your flesh and blood either, his manner is totally different from yours. Are you his stepmother?” Xiao Yaojing’s mother spoke next, and her choice of words was slicker.
