Chapter 688: The Gu Family’s Past II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Juexi’s body stiffened in suppressed anger while Ye Yuwei’s face was drenched in tears. Her mother-in-law who was always so gentle and soft-spoken actually had a past that was way more terrible than hers.
“But that was not all,” Auntie Mao laughed and continued, ” the Gu family lost all their money in an investment when you were two. That was the time when your father would come home very frequently, just so that the Wen family would help them financially.”
Ye Yuwei listened and felt like laughing too. The people from the Gu family has always been cold-blooded and inhumane.
“But Wen Lan’s mother held the power of the Wen family at that time. Your mother hardly went home because all she would get was insults from Wen Lan’s mother. So instead of asking for the Wen family’s help, she separated from them and took 40% shares of the Wen family’s business that her grandfather left for her in his will. She took the shares and gave them all to your father.”
Gu Juexi looked up after what Auntie Mao said. So the shares that his grandfather took belonged to the Wen family in the first place. They belonged to his mother to be exact, who had nothing to do with the Wen family anymore.
“So I asked your mother, why would she help your father when the Gu family had treated her so awfully?” Auntie Mao looked at Gu Juexi as she said, “Do you know what her reply was? She said the Wen family wouldn’t treat her as their daughter, and the Gu family wouldn’t treat her as part of their family. That made her son the only family she has, and she couldn’t let him have a difficult life.” Auntie Mao’s tears ran down her cheeks as she spoke, falling on the back of Gu Juexi’s hand. “Everything your mother did, she did for you.”
Ye Yuwei’s tears blurred her vision but she was quite sure that she saw Gu Juexi’s hands trembling at one point.
“That was not all. The people from the Gu family knew how much you meant to your mother so they didn’t agree when you decided to come home, unless your mother agreed to give up everything she was entitled to in the Gu family. Your mother signed the letter of undertaking without hesitation.”
Auntie Mao began to laugh scornfully as she said, “Your mother was the one who saved the Gu family, but everyone in the family ended up taking advantage of her. They have been doing it since the start, and are doing it again now that the Gu family is in trouble. But your mother barely has anything left in her hands, she has lost the Wen family as her support and has given away all the shares that she should have owned. So that inhumane father of yours thought of laying his hands on your son.”
Auntie Mao has served the Gu family all her life and not once had she criticized her masters. She must have genuinely felt pity for Gu Juexi and his mother this time.
“I couldn’t bear to see it when your father came a few days ago to ask for the boy. Your mother saved the whole of the Gu family and everything belonging to the Gu family should theoretically belong to her, but she didn’t say anything when those people of the Gu family would fight each other for whatever they wanted. Your mother didn’t care about how they treated her, but I do.” Auntie Mao was so angry that she began to breathe heavily.
“None of them will get what belongs to my mother,” said Gu Juexi with clenched fists.
He didn’t want to be involved in Gu International at first, but it looked like he had no choice but to intervene now and take back everything that belonged to his mother. He would rather take them all back and throw them away than leave them in the hands of the Gu family.
“I don’t have much time left. I figured that your mother would never tell you any of this. I wanted to take everything to my grave too, but look at your mother. I feel sorry for her even though the Gu family and Wen family don’t.”
“Don’t worry about it, Auntie Mao. The money that the Gu family took from my mother and the liver that the Wen family took from my mother, I swear to get it all back,” Gu Juexi vowed viciously.
