The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Chapter 285 People Sometimes Change

"Grandpa doesn't dare let you give Beibei to the Gu family, and the Xiao family definitely won't agree either. What Grandpa wants to say is..."

"No, there's no discussion about a second child. The Xiao family already thinks it's not enough. Besides, I don't have time to have children. I'm too busy fighting with Yun Huan." Yun Shu refused. She was joking; she hadn't even considered having a second child, and even if she did, she wouldn't want to give it to the Gu family.

"Then what makes you think you can compete with Yun Huan for the Gu family's assets? You can't win against her like that. Are you just going to stand by and watch her take away all of the Gu family's wealth?"

"This..." Yun Shu wanted to say she didn't want it, but she really couldn't stand seeing Yun Huan get it for free. Besides, Yun Huan had harmed so many people, and if she had money, who knows how many more people she would harm.

"Grandpa, is there no other way besides giving my child to the Gu family?"

"Yes! Unless your father wakes up and changes his will, leaving all the Gu family's assets to you. Or, if your father passes away, you and Xie Yao can each inherit half of the assets."

"I don't know when he'll wake up..." Although his condition has improved a lot, he still hasn't woken up.

"I'd better think of another way. He won't wake up so soon..." There's a high chance he won't wake up at all. I can't bear to let him fend for himself. After all, he's her father. Even if he isn't, he raised her all these years. She can't be as unfilial as Yun Huan. Even Yun Le forgave him and went to the hospital to see him.

"Ah Cheng...hey...how about that Xie Yao?"

“The loss of her child must be a huge blow to her. Her family isn't well-off either, and the doctor said she won't be able to have children in the future, so she probably won't remarry. If my dad wakes up, let her stay with him; after all, that woman looks a lot like my mom…”

"You don't blame that woman?"

"Why should I blame her? Dad has more than just her as a woman. Besides, she looks a bit like my mom, but not at all in other aspects. It's a comfort to my dad, making up for the regret that he couldn't be with my mom." She didn't care how many women Gu Cheng had, because he had already betrayed her mother. What was the point of blaming Xie Yao now? Besides, Xie Yao had Li Meng in front of her.

“Okay, she’s a pitiful woman. If she’s a docile woman, she can stay with Ah Cheng. By the way, in the future… we don’t need to get a marriage certificate with Ah Cheng… but… we also need Ah Cheng to wake up.”

“Grandpa, you’re afraid… but she can’t have children anymore.”

"A man's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, and with her family like that, I'm afraid others will covet the Gu family..."

Yun Shu understood what Gu Jianguo meant. Xie Yao had a troublesome younger brother. Even if Xie Yao didn't care about the Gu family's property, what about her brother? It was a bit unfair to Xie Yao. Of course, if she didn't want to stay in the Gu family, she could remarry.

“People can change sometimes… Gu Lian wasn’t like this before… The Gu family owes her so much…” Gu Jianguo thought of his daughter, who he probably wouldn’t even recognize if he saw her now.

At this moment, Yun Shu didn't know what to say to Gu Jianguo. After all, she didn't understand Gu Lian, and she had helped Yun Huan, so she didn't have a good impression of that woman.

When Yun Shu got home, Ming Kun was also back and they were eating. Bei Bei was playing with his toys. Yun Shu felt guilty about not spending enough time with the child lately because she'd been too busy. They had originally planned a family trip, but now they couldn't go, and the child was probably a little disappointed. However, seeing that her son hadn't distanced himself from her at all, Yun Shu was very grateful. She kissed Bei Bei on the cheek before finishing her meal.

The servants brought her food, and she ate with Mingkun. Beibei had already eaten. The two of them were late, almost seven o'clock. The child couldn't go hungry. Yunshu had instructed Beibei's nanny that if the two of them came back late, Beibei should eat first.

“Mingkun, I just went to see my grandfather and I know who bailed Yunhuan out.”

"Really? Who is it?" Mingkun immediately became interested upon hearing this. He had spent the entire afternoon investigating but had not found anything, except for a woman in her forties who had bailed them out.

“Gu Lian, I should call her aunt. It is said that she was pregnant out of wedlock and ran away to prevent her son from being sent away. She has only just returned now.”

Yun Shu then recounted the grudges between Gu Lian and the Gu family that she had heard from Gu Jianguo. Ming Kun found it unbelievable after hearing it; of all times, that person had to appear, allowing Gu Yunhuan to escape unscathed.

"That's strange. If she saved Yun Huan, why did she also save Gao Yao?"

"It must have been Yun Huan who called her."

"You said this woman was pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to a son, which she then took away. So what about her son now?"

"You think Gao Yao is the adopted son of the Gao family, and it's possible that he's the child she gave birth to back then? That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? And Gao Yao and Yun Huan aren't like that... I don't think so. It's more likely that Gu Lian has some connection with the Gao family, like repaying a debt of gratitude, and then, with Yun Huan's connection, she managed to get Gao Yao out along with her." Yun Shu was somewhat incredulous; those two were just too lucky.

"It seems you're right. It's alright, I'll have someone investigate again. We now know that Yun Huan's next step is to fight you for the Gu family's inheritance. First, it would be best if your father could wake up. Xie Yao's child is gone. Although she is an heir, she was never legally married to your father, so she has absolutely no chance of getting the other half of the inheritance. Second, the paternity test you had with your father will probably come in handy now. The Gu family is telling everyone that you are an adopted daughter, which is a big disadvantage. Legally, the biological child inherits more than the adopted child. Even if you produce the agreement you signed with your father and grandfather and give the child to the Gu family, you will only get half of the inheritance. The other half will always end up in Yun Huan's hands."

"What can I do? What should I do...?"

Yun Shu knew all of what Ming Kun was saying, but the most important thing now was to ensure that her other half of the family fortune did not fall into Yun Huan's hands.

Mingkun was also out of ideas.

Just as they were worrying, the servants received a court summons and a lawyer's letter, which immediately enraged Yun Shu.

"You, Gu Yunhuan, now that Gu Lian is backing you up, you've even sent a lawyer's letter and are going to court to sue me for embezzling Gu family assets! You've sued me in court!" The anger in her heart was immediately ignited. This Yunhuan actually dared to fight her for Gu family assets so quickly.

"Don't be angry. I've found the best lawyers to handle this case. We're sure to win. It's not just about the Gu family's reputation anymore. I suspect they'll also get the media involved, so we have to win, or they'll ruin our reputation." Mingkun was also angry, but he tried his best to comfort Yunshu. They absolutely had to win this battle.
