At the question, Gu Juexi raised his head and looked at his mother.
She was as calm and composed as she had been for the past few decades.
In a family as big and complex as the Gu family, she had no intention of forming a clique nor did she stand on any side. She chose to be on her own in her tiny space of tranquility, the space that no one was allowed to step foot into.
No one, not even Gu Tianmu.
Gu Juexi was the only one who was allowed in that space. However, she had allowed access to someone else and it was Ye Yuwei, Ye Shu's daughter.
"Mom—" Gu Juexi opened his mouth, his throat feeling dry.
"What is it?" Wen Jie fixed her motherly gaze on her son.
"It's nothing. You must be tired from the journey, let me help you get some rest," Gu Juexi suggested. He got to his feet and helped Wen Jie stand up.
Wen Jie could sense his uneasiness. It was the sixth sense of a mother for her child.
