1227: Make Up for His Regret

Make Up for His Regret

"Yezi... Yezi?" Xiao Yaojing was reading the gossip news on her phone and chatting with Ye Yuwei, but when she sensed that Ye Yuwei was silent for too long, she called her name.2

Abruptly, Ye Yuwei regained her focus and retracted her hand from her neck. "I guess something very unfortunate must have happened for Gu Juexi to buy it."

"Mr. Gu believes that nonsense because he cares about you," Xiao Yaojing laughed out loud and continued reading the news.

"Our school and the financial segment have released news about Gu Juexi's speech tomorrow. 'Business Genius', 'Industrial Rising Star'... Pfft, can't they come up with more creative nicknames for him?" Xiao Yaojing looked at Gu Juexi's photo as she scrolled the news website.

She had to admit that the man was handsome.

But no one was as good-looking than her man.

"R University has made a name for itself again this time. The speech that Gu Juexi gave at B University in A City a decade ago, that was his last speech on stage, wasn't it?" Xiao Yaojing asked.

Ye Yuwei nodded. Gu Juexi told her that the speech at B University was purely a favor for a leader, otherwise he wouldn't have done it.

This time however, Mr. Gu had declared that it was a special speech exclusively for her.

R University Centennial Celebration. 

Outstanding students from all over the country received invitations. This time, Mrs. Gu's name was on Mr. Gu's invitation card.

Gu Juexi drove to the university with Ye Yuwei and their children while PA Wen and Xiao Yaojing departed from their house.

This time, Gu Juexi parked his car at the Zhengdong Gate of R University. A group of leaders and heads of departments were waiting at the gate.

Gu Juexi opened the door and exited from the car. His eyes narrowed at the dazzling morning sunlight.

"Mr. Gu." The dean hurriedly ran forward and offered his hand.

Gu Juexi nodded lightly, shook the dean's hand and turned around to carry his daughter who was slowly coming out of the car.

Ye Yuwei took her son and got down from the other side of the car. The mother and son exchanged glances and decided they would rather go in quietly.

"Miss Ye," the Dean of the School of Economics greeted Ye Yuwei.

Ye Yuwei nodded politely and said to Gu Juexi, "I'll take Xicheng for a walk around the campus."

Gu Juexi was surrounded by the school leaders, so he had no objection.

Ye Yuwei took her son's hand and walked into the campus. Today, it was extraordinarily lively with coloured banners decorating the campus. Groups of alumni were gathering around chatting loudly and happily. There was a festive atmosphere everywhere.

"Mommy, is this where you went to college?" His hand in his mommy's, Ye Xicheng looked around curiously and asked.

"Yes, this is my college." Ye Yuwei felt genuine warmth when she looked at her school that hadn't changed. "You can come here too in the future."

"But, Mommy, I want to be a soldier like Uncle Yu," Ye Xicheng looked up at his mom and said seriously.

Uncle Yu had once told him that Daddy had his regrets that he couldn't redeem in this life. He had witnessed how his father treated the disabled uncle, so he was inspired to be a soldier.

He wanted to—make up for his regret.

His remark caught Ye Yuwei by surprise. She paused and looked down at her son.

What did he say?

Did he want to be a soldier?

"Xicheng, do you know what you are talking about?" Ye Yuwei asked in disbelief. Her son had dropped a bombshell with his decision. 

Ye Xicheng nodded, his expression earnest and serious. "Mommy, I know what I'm talking about and I will take responsibility for what I say. Uncle Yu said that when I grow bigger, I can participate in the selection of the youth class. I will have the chance to be the most powerful fighter, a greater fighter than Daddy."
