The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Chapter 275 Nowhere is Safe

It's ridiculous. Do all mistresses these days have such a self-righteous attitude in asking for help? In essence, she's just like Li Meng, or even worse.

Upon hearing Yun Shu's words, Xie Yao immediately realized her mistake and pleaded, "I'm sorry, Dr. Gu... I didn't mean it just now. I was just too scared, that's why I did that. I was wrong! I was really wrong! Please, for Cheng Ge's sake, help my son and me. You know my family. My brother is completely unreliable, and now Cheng Ge is like this. If the Gu family doesn't take care of us, I don't know what I'll do in the future."

Yun Shu felt really uncomfortable seeing Xie Yao's face. It was a pity she had only been trying to scare her; she didn't want to give her child to the Gu family. But what could she do now? If she ignored it, Xie Yao was already managing the Gu family's affairs. If the child was lost, with that troublesome woman Yun Huan around, there would be even more problems to come.

If she were to take charge, where would she be placed? If she continued to live here, Yun Huan's people had already located the area, and finding her was only a matter of time. She had also considered moving to Gu Jianguo's place, but that man knew Xie Yao was pregnant, yet he let her stay here. It was clear he wanted her to take care of her; perhaps he was just getting old and didn't want to get involved.

“Xie Yao, staying at the Gu family home is impossible right now. Gu Cheng didn’t leave any written proof when he kicked them out, he just said it verbally. There’s no legal basis for that, so Gu Yunhuan won’t move out. I’ve already cut off the water and electricity there and dismissed the servants. It’s an empty house now. Even if I kick her out now, she can always go back. After all, she’s Gu Cheng’s daughter… This place doesn’t seem safe either. But arranging another place for you and hiring bodyguards is no small expense. Gu Cheng’s hospital expenses are considerable every day!” If they keep spending like this, Xie Yao will have to rely on her when the Gu family’s assets decrease.

“I…I’ll pay. I still have some money that Brother Cheng gave me before. I just want my child to be safe…You don’t know, I was married once before. My ex-husband beat me when I was pregnant. The baby was already five months along, and as a result…I thought I would never be a mother again in this life. Maybe God took pity on me…So I want to do my best to protect this child. After the child is born, no matter what Brother Cheng does, I don’t want to get married again. I just want to stay with the child.”

“You don’t want to get married! Actually, after you have the child, you can leave the child with the Gu family. If you don’t want to stay there, that’s fine too.”

After listening, Xie Yao smiled bitterly and said, "Dr. Gu doesn't know about my family... My younger brother is a good-for-nothing. My parents have been ordinary people since I was a child. They have worked hard all their lives to raise us. They couldn't even afford a house. The whole family was crammed into a small apartment of just over 30 square meters. It was only with great difficulty that we were finally going to become rich. Maybe I was too impatient and afraid of losing everything we have now, so I was afraid that you wouldn't be willing to help. That's why I was a bit firm. I was only thinking about myself and my child."

Yun Shu wanted to say something about whether Xie Yao had considered other people's feelings, but seeing Xie Yao crying, she decided to let it go and not say anything more. It was all Gu Cheng's fault. At his age, still having an affair. However, she would rather give the Gu family's assets to Xie Yao than to Yun Huan.

Thinking of this, he said, "Today is impossible. I'll call two people over and have your nanny prepare a room for them to stay in, so they can protect you here. As for the future... we'll see how it goes..."

"The Gu family..."

“You think it’s safe over there? Yun Huan can come back to the Gu family anytime. Actually, I originally wanted you to stay with your grandfather, as it’s relatively safer there. But I was worried that he’s getting old and it might affect him, since the Gu family isn’t exactly innocent either.”

"That means I'll have to keep living here, but I'm afraid..." Xie Yao said worriedly.

"Call two people over. Don't worry! They're not your average bodyguards." They were personally trained by Mingkun and were originally intended to protect her and Beibei, but he gave them to Xie Yao first.

"I don't think this is safe. What if Gu Yunhuan already knows about it?"

“Nowhere is safe to live. We are in the open, she is in the dark. We only know her intentions, but we don’t know what she will do. Maybe she won’t pay you at all. You dared to be Gu Cheng’s mistress. You knew that you would run into them sooner or later.”

"I didn't think that much at the time..." Xie Yao felt wronged. At the time, she just wanted to stay by that man's side and live a life of comfort and security.

Yun Shu was getting annoyed with her after talking to her for so long, so she said, "Alright, that's enough for now. I can't think of any other solutions for the time being." After saying that, Yun Shu ignored her and went to make a phone call.

"Mingkun, have you eaten yet?"

"I'm eating now, with Beibei. When are you coming back?"

“Mingkun, send the two bodyguards you gave me last time to Xie Yao’s place. Xie Yao said someone is following her, and we suspect it’s Yun Huan’s men.”

"I understand, call them over now!"

After finishing her call with Mingkun, Yun Shu turned to Xie Yao and said, "Alright, I'll head back first once they arrive. Tell them to call me if anything comes up!"

Exhausted and hungry, Xie Yao, being pregnant, was eating sugar-free and salt-free food, which tasted terrible, and she didn't want to eat there.

"Thank you, Dr. Gu!" Xie Yao was truly grateful to Yun Shu at this moment.

When the two bodyguards arrived, Yun Shu was surprised to find that Ming Kun had also come over.

However, he was waiting for Yun Shu downstairs and did not want to go into Gu Cheng's mistress's house, especially since she was a rather unruly mistress.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm afraid my wife will suffer!" Mingkun joked.

“What’s the loss? To be honest, Xie Yao is quite pitiful. She just treated me the wrong way. And I’ve discovered something very upsetting: Gu Cheng’s will has loopholes. With Gu Cheng like this, if Xie Yao’s child is lost, then the will will change, and Yun Huan will also have inheritance rights. So now we need to protect Xie Yao. I don’t want to go through all that trouble to drive them out of the Gu family, only to have Yun Huan come back and fight me for the Gu family’s assets.” Yun Shu sighed, feeling genuinely exhausted as things became more complicated than she had imagined.
