บท 259: I Trust You

After dinner, Ye Yuwei cleared the dishes while Gu Juexi leaned lazily against the doorway. "You don't have to go back if you don't want to."

Ye Yuwei stopped scrubbing the plates. Indeed, she did not want to go back.

But she did not want to suffer injustice.

"It's fine, I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I be afraid?"

"In this society, even if you're innocent, people may not believe you." Gu Juexi sneered. He turned and left the kitchen without waiting for Ye Yuwei's reply.

Ye Yuwei was stunned. She felt there were always hidden messages in his words.

It was close to ten when they returned to Gu Mansion.

Madame Gu who usually slept early was still awake and waiting.

There was another person who was waiting and persuading Madame Gu, which was Bai Yuyan.

The moment they walked in, Madame Gu stood up and held her cane up in the air, ready to strike Ye Yuwei with it, while cursing her family's misfortune.
