lept, she awoke with a slight haze in her head and closed her eyes to rest. Suddenly, a long-lost familiar voice rang in her ears: "Lanlan, wake up! It's the first day of school today, don't be late."...After finishing his work, Gu Ruandong returned to the Gu family in the evening and immediately sensed something was amiss. Yao Yao and his mother's faces were unusually grim, even the housekeeper seemed to be walking on eggshells. The atmosphere frightened him a little.

"What's wrong" He walked up to YaoYao, imagining hugging her like he always did, but she dodged him, not even glancing at him, and carried Xiao Guru upstairs.

His mother looked ashamed and worried, sighing at him constantly.

Gu Ruandong was confused, but coaxing his wife was important, so he followed YaoYao upstairs.

Lu Yaoyao isn't the type to be easily wronged, and now that she's grown up, she's definitely not a love-struck fool. Growing up in this kind of environment, she's seen all sorts of illegitimate children, so she has her own boundaries. If Gu Ruandong really did something like that, their only outcome would be divorce.

At first, she hadn't thought much of it. But after seeing that little boy and noticing her mom's hesitant expression on the way home, she guessed it was a forgone conclusion.

Before Gu Ruan Dong returned home, she had even made the worst-case scenario plans and was realistically considering the issue. If that little boy truly existed, how much of the Gu family fortune would her Xiao Guru be able to claim afterward

When this thought crossed her mind, she was startled herself. She wasn't a worldly person, indifferent to wealth, power, and status, but when it came to Xiao Gurulu's matter, she couldn't help but be swayed by convention. Her son couldn't suffer even the slightest injustice. Thinking about Xiao Gurulu facing such family strife in the future, she looked at Ruan Dong with hatred. Although it was a premarital affair, it was unforgivable.

Gu Ruandong rarely saw her face so bad, he was truly worried, squatting in front of her and asking: "What happened"

Xiaogulu held in her arms, kicking with both hands, as if she were united with her mother to fight him.

Lu Yaoyao glanced at him and said directly, "Go back to Senzhou tomorrow."

Then she ignored him completely. No matter how he tried to coax or nag her, she didn't say a word and walked away with Little Gulu.

He asked, "Had an argument with your mom"

When he went out in the morning, all he could think about was this.

Lu Yaoyao ignored him, treating it as punishment. Let him worry by himself, she thought. She had made up her mind to return to Senzhou tomorrow morning and consult with Tinglan about the relevant legal provisions. No matter what, she would transfer all of Gu Ruandong's assets into her name first, and every penny earned afterward must also go to her.

When it comes to Xiao Guru's interests, she will never show any mercy.

Gu Ruandong was cautious, carefully observing her expression. Sometimes she seemed sad, sometimes she gritted her teeth with a look of righteous indignation. He couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he went downstairs to find his mother.

This place, I think the vibe just doesn't mesh with him. Every time he brings Yaoyao back, something always goes wrong.

Upon seeing him, Madam Gu felt a mixture of guilt, anger, and worry. She felt guilty because it was she who had taken YaoYao to the jewelry store today and encountered that girl named Yi Xin; she felt angry because this was all his doing, who would have thought he, being so young, wouldn't know how to keep himself clean He went and made a mess of things!

She spoke in a low voice, only Gu Ruandong could hear: "I'm telling you, in my whole life, I only acknowledge Yaoyao as my daughter-in-law and Xiao Gulu as my grandson. Those outsiders who want to enter our Gu family, unless I die."

Gu Ruandong looked puzzled and asked, "What's going on"

"Only then did Mother Gu calm down: "Today, at the jewelry store, I ran into Yi Xin and her son with Yaoyao. Didn't you say that everything was handled cleanly back then"

"Mother Gu fainted from anger, she's already forgotten about this You're not even as good as your father!"

"His voice rose unconsciously: 'It was back then, when I was pregnant with your child and made a scene at the company, that girl named Yi Xin.'"

Gu Ruan lived a busy life, handling thousands of affairs every day. He wouldn't remember insignificant things, but to say he was carrying his child That was too outlandish.

Just as I was about to speak, I saw YaoYao's face pale. I didn't know when she had come down, but she heard our conversation and said very calmly, "You guys continue, I'll go pour myself a glass of water."

Gu Ruandong's face wasn't looking good either at the moment, but of course, he wouldn't allow these baseless accusations to be pinned on him. And looking at Yaoyao's expression, it seemed like she believed them

He grabbed Yaoyao's hand domineeringly. "Sit down, let's have a good talk."

When he wore that stern expression, it was really intimidating. Lu Yaoyao couldn't move as he dragged her along, tears welling up in her eyes: "You were the one who made a mistake, and you dare to get angry with me"

As soon as she started to cry, Gu Ruandong felt a pang of sympathy for her. He loosened his grip on her hand and pulled her into an embrace. Even though he was a formidable figure, like a powerful tiger, in front of her, he dared not show any aggression. He soothed her with: “Even before they sentence me to death, I deserve a chance to appeal, don’t I”

Seeing him like this, Gu’s mother thought, well, she had been worried for nothing. He knew how to coax his wife, so she wouldn’t interfere in their marital affairs. Just as she was about to slip away quietly, Gu Ruandong glanced at her: “You sit down too.”

He wanted to see what these two women had accused him of. They were making a big deal out of nothing.

Then Mrs. Gu had no choice but to sit there obediently.

"Come on, what is it" He was being both soft and hard. Just a moment ago, he was acting like a paper tiger to appease his wife, but now that they were discussing serious business, there was a sharp edge to his voice.

Lu Yao Yao didn't speak. Without concrete evidence, there was always room for him to argue. Besides, it happened before their marriage. If she said too much, she would seem unreasonable. Her stance was clear enough; the rest was up to Gu's mother.

This is what they mean by "close to vermilion, you become red; close to ink, you become black," isn't it Just like Gu Ruandong's way of learning, he only speaks three parts of what he knows and leaves the remaining seven parts for others to guess. That's the best way to manipulate people.

Gu Ruandong was truly being manipulated. His mother explained the ins and outs of the situation, while he secretly observed Yao Yao's expression, missing no detail. She said nothing, so he could only rely on these details to guess her thoughts.

After hearing this, he said: "Any child that comes out is mine." He meant to say, "Come on, use your brains!"

But he wouldn't dare say this to Yaoyao, and moreover, he firmly believed that Yaoyao's being led into the ravine was largely due to her mother's influence.

Lu YaoYao calmly said: "It's okay, I understand. These things happened before we knew each other, and I can't blame you. Handle it well, don't hurt anyone. As a woman, I sympathize with her. It must have been tough for her all these years."

Gu Ruandong was truly amused by anger: "Then can you sympathize with me Suddenly giving me a nonexistent child, I'm under a lot of pressure too."

"Yao Yao understands how to manage her husband well, and still said sincerely: 'How could I be stressed One more child means one more person inheriting your excellent genes. In the future, with Little Gulu by his side, the brothers will work together and carry on the glory of our Gu family.'"

Gu Dad said: Gu Ruomei, look at what you've done!!hat was bad, at least in the rest of her life, she could distinguish between right and wrong and remain true to herself.In the dead of night, Shi Yan asked her if she wanted to return to her own room,...
