Gu Tianmu frowned and put his hand on the alb.u.m before the old mistress could flip the page.

“Did Wen Jie ever elope?”

The old mistress stopped going through the alb.u.m and lifted her head to look at her son. “Mind your own business, son. Don’t worry about others.”

“Did Wen Jie ever elope?” Gu Tianmu asked for the third time, more determined than before.

“You hid from this your whole life.” The old lady chuckled and slowly pushed Gu Tianmu’s hand away so she could turn the pages. “You and Gu Juexi are the same but Gu Juexi is better than you at one thing: he dares to try, while you don’t.”

Gu Tianmu sat there stiffly, listening to the old mistress.

Yes, he did hide for his whole life because of this.

He was worried that Wen Jie would find out about him falling for her and make fun of him for it.

The whole world knew that he was a bold, decisive businessman but the truth was that he, Gu Tianmu, was a coward.

“Did Wen Jie ever elope?” asked Gu Tianmu for the fourth time.

“So what if you know the answer? Wen Jie doesn’t love you. She doesn’t love anyone other than Juexi,” said the old mistress as she found a photo of Wen Jie carrying baby Juexi, “she doesn’t love you, son.”

“Tell me the truth,” Gu Tianmu snarled and jumped to his feet, seemingly having lost his patience.

The old mistress was still looking at the old pictures and touching Gu Juexi’s face in the picture. “This child looks exactly like you when you were young. Although I don’t like Ye Yuwei, she has a point. This house, this family, is twisted.”

Gu Tianmu’s body tensed even more.

“I was deeply involved in it, so you didn’t have the courage to face your problems. Although Wen Jie stayed in this house, she had escaped this distortion emotionally, giving Juexi the courage to face what he had to face,” the old mistress said and looked at her son, “the Ye siblings almost damaged the reputation of the Gu family, but Ye Shu’s daughter actually rescued your son. How ironic.”

“You killed Ye Di, and the elopement was just made up to cover your crime,” Gu Tianmu looked at the old mistress and accused.

The old mistress laughed when she heard what Gu Tianmu said. The wrinkles on her face became deeper, making her look older than she actually was. “That little wh.o.r.e deserved it. Too bad Wen Jie did so much for her.”

“Whose child was Ye Di pregnant with, Mother?” asked Gu Tianmu, “whose child was it that frightened you to the extent that you had to kill Ye Di who was also a child?”

“So you have done your research,” the old mistress said as she closed the alb.u.m, “but none of this has anything to do with you. It would be best if you continued to hide from it, just like how you used to.”

“Mother, Ye Di’s son has come for revenge. How long do you think you can hide this?” Gu Tianmu asked as the old mistress put down the photo alb.u.m. He looked at the photo alb.u.m and took a wild guess, “Was it my father’s?”

“Tell him to come to me if he wants to take revenge for his mother. I killed Ye Di, and I should have killed her child too.” The old mistress began to laugh as she said, “I am barely alive anyway, he can have all the revenge he wants.”

Gu Tianmu could tell that his mother was asking for her life to be taken.
