Gu Juexi was eating his porridge very slowly, and eventually he stopped eating completely.
"There was a plate hanging in Master Yao Lao's yard, it said "the late father of He's."
Gu Juexi said it so casually but Ye Yuwei was stunned at the information.
"Do you mean..." Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Juexi who gently put down his chopsticks.
"Master Yao Lao is He Liao's mother," said Gu Juexi with a heavy heart.
Ye Yuwei's hand that was holding the chopsticks shivered and hit the bowl, making a grating sound like a knife stabbing her heart.
That was why Gu Juexi had agreed when Master Yao Lao told them to go down the hill.
"So Master Yao Lao might refuse to treat Xixi. That was probably why she let us in earlier," said Gu Juexi quietly.
Ye Yuwei dropped her chopsticks onto the table loudly and her hands trembled uncontrollably.
