Chen Yao glanced at Du Juan’s pregnant belly. “You want to be acknowledged by the Gu family, but Gu Fei can’t have any stain to his name; otherwise, he won’t be able to marry a lady from a wealthy family of equal status. They want to do away with you, but they also want the child in your belly. They’re trying to have their cake and eat it too, if you ask me. Tsk, tsk, how tough for them.”
Du Juan’s face paled slightly. Chen Yao continued as if she hadn’t noticed, “That’s why someone clever thought to send you to me. That way, you’ll be under the Gu family’s care, and I naturally won’t just stand by and watch as the child is born without a guardian in the Gu family. They’ve been wanting to get us to adopt their children and were worried we wouldn’t take them in, so this child of Gu Fei’s—his genuine flesh and blood—is the perfect candidate, and this will resolve all their troubles. What a smart person indeed!”
Du Juan shook as she held her belly. “Madam Gu, I—I don’t know anything. I—I just want to protect myself.”
Chen Yao raised her eyebrows. “Protect yourself, huh? Well, you’re a smart woman. However, you’re unforgivable to me since you chose to target Yun
Nan.”
Du Juan didn’t understand what she meant. Chen Yao’s expression turned icy. “You best put away those little plots and schemes of yours. Don’t go having ideas. If you’d stayed with the Gu family, they would at least keep you alive since they care about your child, but here at my place, I actually don’t care about you or the child, so tread carefully.”
And with that, Chen Yao turned around to leave. Du Juan fell to her knees with a thud, crying, “Madam, please save us! My child and I truly have no other way out. I don’t want to die.”
She reached out and handed her phone over. “They installed a GPS in my phone. You’re right; they want me to give birth here and have you raise my child. That way, he can inherit your assets.”
Cold sweat beaded on Du Juan’s forehead. Chen Yao stopped, looked down at her condescendingly, and coldly uttered, “Don’t get any ideas here if you want to live!”
Du Juan lowered her head, breathing heavily. Chen Yao strode out, and when she got to the door, she instructed, “Send her to the hospital. Just leave her anywhere if she doesn’t behave herself.”
“Yes, ma’am!” The staff outside the door respectfully replied.
Du Juan felt a chill from the bottom of her heart, and all her strength sapped away, allowing the medical staff to come in, help her up, and take her away. There was a dull ache in her abdomen, and the back of her clothes were soaked in sweat.
Tan Ning told Yun Liu about the news she’d heard. “You say someone is pregnant with Gu Fei’s child?” Yun Liu exclaimed, shocked.
Tan Ning nodded. “That’s right. That’s the trending topic the Gu family silenced. Your Aunt Chang Hui probably knows the person who leaked the news —she probably had a hand in it—and the ones keeping it silent are Gu Fei’s sisters! ”
“I see.” Yun Liu fell into deep thought. “I didn’t expect the fight between them to have already come to a head. So where’s that pregnant woman now?”
Tan Ning shook her head. “I don’t know. The Gu family’s young ladies have always been clean, decisive, and ruthless when doing things. Come to think of it, you’re indeed like the Gu family in that aspect.”
Yun Liu wasn’t in the mood to listen to her flattery. Her mind raced, and she stated, “Tan Ning, we have to find this pregnant woman by all means. We might be able to control the entire Gu Corporation if we have her in our hands.”
Tan Ning was dumbfounded, thinking, ‘Aren’t you aiming a little too high there?
Yun Liu was busy thinking about her own plans and didn’t notice Tan Ning’s expression. “Do you think there’s still a way to get this matter on the trending searches?” she asked.
Tan Ning hesitantly answered, “That… won’t be easy. The media is sure to give some face since your cousin personally stepped in to silence it.”
Yun Liu disagreed. “The most important thing in the news industry is making a name for yourself. The media won’t care about offending the Gu family if the news is big enough. Spread the news, and remember not to leave any trails. We can’t let Gu Fei’s sisters find out I betrayed the Gu family… Oh, right, we can direct the blame to Yun Nan.”
Tan Ning’s eyes lit up. “Why didn’t I think of that? Alright, I’ll get to it immediately! ”
Yun Liu leaned back on the sofa in satisfaction. ‘Yun Nan, just you wait. The Gu familVs daughters aren’t ones to be trifled with. Now that you’ve lost Fang Xi, let’s see how you’ll deal with such a troublesome matter!’
In the bar, a man walked towards Yun Liu and introduced himself. “Hello, Miss Yun. I’m Ding Ning, the planning director of Mr. Liang Han’s entertainment company. Mr. Liang asked me to come and discuss a proposal with you.” Yun Liu was stumped. “Where’s Mr. Liang?” she inquired.
Ding Yu sat down and smiled warmly. “Mr. Liang isn’t free right now, so he left this matter to me.”
Yun Liu couldn’t hide the disappointment on her face. Noticing this, Ding Yu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Miss Yun. Mr. Liang has already instructed us.
We’ll immediately invest in this proposal if we can settle the details today..”
