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.

Wen Lan laughed out loud, her wicked laughter resonating across the hall. It must have been the last thing in her mind that Gu Tianmu would do this to her.

Gu Juexi leaned against the railing of the stairs and typed messages on his phone while listening to Wen Lan’s wicked laugh.

[Husband: She couldn’t even foresee such a simple trap, do you still think she is the one behind all this?

Wife: So she was tricked by Ai Mijia.

Husband: This drama is getting better as it progresses. I wonder where Ai Mijia is hiding now.

Wife: Wouldn’t Du Mingsheng know?

Husband: I think it’s about time we meet him.

Wife: Are we not meeting him here in the house?

Husband: What about Auntie Yuan? Have you thought about her?

Wife: I’m sorry for ignoring my husband’s rare conscience and morality.

Husband: …

Husband: You need a lesson, I know.]

Wen Lan slowly got to her feet as she laughed. She pointed at Nalan Jing, her hand weak and trembling. Nalan Jing lifted his gaze slightly, expression stoic.

“It’s your fault! You fell in love with that little bitch first.”

Slap!

Nalan Jing slapped her. Wen Lan once again crashed to the floor because of the slap. Nalan Jing stood before her, looking down at her arrogantly.

“Did I say something wrong? You loved me!” Wen Lan shrieked indignantly, sounding hysterical.

“I was blind,” Nalan Jing uttered flatly.

Wen Lan sobbed in the middle of her laugh. She glared at Gu Tianmu again. “You said that you wanted to marry me, you promised! If it weren’t for you, I would not have listened to Ai Mijia! That bitch! I would not have ended up like this! It’s you! You forced me into this corner, you caused all this!”

Gu Juexi looked up and snorted.

[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.
