Chapter 230 Money can make the world go round

"The position of the Gu family's mistress and half of the property?" Xie Yao looked at Yun Shu in disbelief.

"Yes, we'll get what's rightfully ours. Also, don't tell Gu Cheng I'm still alive. The Gu family has been having a lot of trouble lately, so this is a good opportunity to make our move. What do you think?"

"This... cooperating with you... is a bit dangerous." Xie Yao was actually wavering. Her brother had gotten someone's daughter pregnant, and now that family was trying to extort money to settle the matter. However, she hadn't been working much in recent years, and Gu Cheng hadn't given her much money. Her retirement savings had long been squandered by her unambitious brother, and now she was penniless. The family her brother had harmed had already threatened to sue her brother if he didn't pay up, and she would still have to pay compensation. They would also have him killed. She only had one brother; she couldn't let him die like that. Her parents would depend on him for their old age and funeral.

"Don't worry, as long as you follow my arrangements, you'll probably be the mistress of the Gu family in no time. And your children won't be illegitimate. If it's a son, Gu Cheng will hate him. He's been lamenting the lack of a son all his life."

What if it's a girl?

"Don't worry, I'll do an ultrasound and just say it's a boy. It'll be more than eight months until the baby is born, which is plenty of time for us to get things done. This is my personal number; I'll use this number to call you from now on." Yun Shu sent a text message with her number to Xie Yao.

"Dr. Gu, are you sure?" Xie Yao was a cautious person; she would only decide what to do if she was sure.

"Don't worry, Gu Cheng has long been tired of Li Meng. Think it over carefully! For your future and your child's sake." Yun Shu had just finished speaking when her phone rang. "Hello, what's up, Ming Kun?"

"Come down quickly, Gu Cheng is here!"

"Okay!" Yun Shu replied and immediately stood up. "Gu Cheng is here! I have to go! I can't let him know I'm still alive and coming to see you again." After saying that, Yun Shu picked up her medicine box and said goodbye to Xie Yao.

Fortunately, I've said everything I needed to say. I'll let her think about it for two days and then ask her for the answer.

Yun Shu arrived at the elevator door, pressed the elevator button, and waited anxiously. Suddenly, she remembered something and hurriedly went to the stairwell next to it. She was going to take the stairs, since Gu Cheng would definitely come up by elevator. If she took the elevator and bumped into him, she would be in big trouble.

Fortunately, it was only the ninth floor, and she went down quickly. Yun Shu wasn't afraid and hurried downstairs.

Sure enough, Yun Shu had just stepped off the stairs to the first floor when Gu Cheng stepped out of the elevator and onto the ninth floor. Yun Shu then went down the stairs, floor by floor. It took her several minutes to reach the first floor, where she saw Gu Cheng's car in the parking lot. Fortunately, Gu Cheng didn't have a driver. He probably always drives himself when he comes to meet Xie Yao.

Yun Shu patted her chest, took out her hat from her bag, and then walked out. Once outside the residential area, she saw Ming Kun's car not far ahead.

Upon seeing Yun Shu come out, Ming Kun quickly drove his car to her side. He had just seen the Gu family's car drive in and then saw Gu Cheng get out of the car, so he hurriedly called Yun Shu.

"Did you run into Gu Cheng?" Mingkun asked worriedly.

"Thank goodness I took the stairs, otherwise I might have really run into him." Yun Shu was secretly relieved after the scare. If she had run into Gu Cheng, all her efforts would have been in vain.

Mingkun's tense heart relaxed and he said, "No wonder it took you so long to come out. I thought something had happened and I was even going to check on you."

"It's alright now, the matter has been settled, let's leave here quickly to avoid being discovered."

After Yun Shu finished speaking, Ming Kun nodded. This was not a place to stay for long, and they had to leave quickly. They didn't know when Gu Cheng would come down, and it would be bad if he found them.

After driving all the way home, Yun Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa to rest. Her legs were a little sore from climbing so many stairs, so Ming Kun poured her a glass of water.

"Hey! Gu Cheng never comes earlier or later, but he chose this time to come, which startled her."

"Yun Shu, how did the talks go?" Ming Kun asked.

"Xie Yao will agree. We'll get her to think it through in the next couple of days, and she'll contact us then," Yun Shu said confidently. The main concern is Gu Cheng. He's growing increasingly disgusted with Li Meng. So much has happened in the Li family these past two years; things are completely different now. Yun Huan and Yun Le have both been divorced, and neither of them has accomplished much. Gu Cheng has long been fed up with this family. Moreover, Xie Yao is pregnant. If it's a son, Gu Cheng will definitely divorce Li Meng for the sake of the child. But there's still something to be done, and the fear is that Gu Cheng will hesitate because he needs to consider his status and avoid gossip.

“Alright, the next step is to see what to do to deal with the Gu family,” Mingkun said after thinking for a moment.

"Hmm! I read in the information that Li Meng has become addicted to gambling and has lost hundreds of thousands of yuan in the past six months. If this news is sent to Gu Cheng, Li Meng will definitely not have an easy time." Yun Shu thought that she should start with Li Meng. After all, she is the mistress of the Gu family. If she falls, Yun Huan and Yun Le will be much easier to deal with.

"Leave this to me. I'll send someone to the casino to investigate. Rich people gamble in the same few places, so it'll be easy to find out where Li Meng is playing cards."

"Won't it be difficult to investigate? That place has always been a melting pot of all sorts of people."

"Don't worry, money makes the world go round. There's nothing money can't solve these days. Give me two days, that'll be enough." Mingkun said nonchalantly. He didn't want to tell Yun Shu that she had suddenly disappeared while he was out there fooling around for a month. He had completely quit and focused all his energy on his career, which led to his current success. He had also made a few friends there, so it was understandable that he had connections in both the legal and illegal worlds.

Yun Shu didn't say anything. Ming Kun's words must be true. Just before, she had given Xie Yao 100,000 yuan to help her brother avoid trouble. In this world, sometimes the truth is on the side of the rich.

"I have to go to the company this afternoon. You and Beibei should stay home and get some sleep. I'll pick you up for dinner later."

“Okay.” Yun Shu knew that Ming Kun was very hardworking. Even when he was on vacation and had something to do, he would still go to the company to work overtime. Yun Shu didn’t suspect that he was going on dates with other women behind her back. She knew that he had entrusted his money to her to manage now, so where would he get the money to chase girls?

In the afternoon, Yun Shu and Bei Bei had just woken up when Xu Ruo called to say she wanted to go out to eat with Yun Shu and the others. An An missed Bei Bei, and Yun Shu happily agreed.
