The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy - Chapter 372

Chapter 372

After Bai Yuyan left, the family home seemed empty for a moment . Gu Juexi looked around .

In the past, there weren’t many times that he would return here but each time he did, there would always be the silhouette an excited Ye Yuwei .

He didn’t understand it before; only now did he know that that wisp of her silhouette had been a luxury .

“CEO, phone call from the Captain . ” PA Wen, who had been standing at the edge of the stairs, went upstairs to hand the cell phone to Gu Juexi .

Gu Juexi glanced down and took the phone . He then turned around and headed towards the study .

“Gu Juexi, you rascal, what are you doing?” A man’s angry voice could be heard from the other side of the phone call .

“It has nothing to do with you . ”

“You had better not act tough with me,” Captain continued angrily . “Fine . When I begged you to stay last time, you vehemently refused . It was because of this plan of yours, and now you want to go alone into the enemy’s base . Don’t you know what kind of man Cheng Jie is?”

“This really has nothing to do with you . ” Gu Juexi’s voice remained indifferent . Back then, the old Captain had said all kinds of things to make him stay; even going to the extent of beating him up and locking him in confinement . However, nothing could make him change his mind .

The person on the other end of the line went silent . After a while, he said, “I thought you had let it go; I should have known better . You are someone who will avenge any offense, especially such a deep one . How could you have given up?”

“What is it that you want to say?” Gu Juexi demanded impatiently .

“I will personally lead a team to support you,” the old Captain said quietly .

“That is really not necessary . We will stay out of each other’s businesses . This is my personal issue with Cheng Jie . Captain, you are already so old . Please stay put,” Gu Juexi responded wearily .

“Gu Juexi, who are you calling old?”

“I’m referring to you . ” Gu Juexi did not even hesitate . To someone who would even reprimand his own grandmother, chastising the old Captain was an easy feat .

The Captain on the other line was mad with rage but couldn’t do anything .

“Gu Juexi, I’m telling you, I’ll tear off that mouth of yours sooner or later,” he growled menacingly .

“You have been saying that for more than ten years and I am still fine . Captain, regarding the support you were talking about, please stay put . It is not necessary, this is my personal issue,” Gu Juexi replied .

“Was it because of the rumors going around before you retired?” The old Captain suddenly asked in a gentle voice . He was well-aware of the infamy borne by Gu Juexi all these years . All the Captain could do was prohibit others from saying anything about it upfront, but there was no way of preventing what they said behind his back .

When Gu Juexi heard the old Captain’s words, he unconsciously gripped his hand and his body tensed . He then said, “That place has long been unrelated to me . ”

“The Commander wants you to come back . ” The old Captain finally arrived at the main point .

Gu Juexi sat down behind the desk in his study . Leaning back in his chair, he drummed his fingers on the armrest . “I don’t . ”

“Gu Juexi, do you want to anger me to death?” The man on the other side of the call was getting really aggravated; Gu Juexi’s monotonous voice had ticked him off .

Gu Juexi stared up at the ceiling and counted the seconds .

“Gu Juexi, your arrogance and stubbornness will bring you harm sooner or later,” the old Captain snarled . “The Commander has never taken the initiative to request for a person; you are the first . ”

‘Cause him harm sooner or later?’

‘He had already been harmed, hadn’t he?’

‘Ye Yuwei would not return, didn’t that count?’
