บท 978: The Old Mistress’s Words

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

"Did Wen Jie ever elope?"

The old mistress stopped going through the album 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.
