Chapter 231 A familiar figure from behind
Chapter 231 A familiar figure from behind
So she asked the driver to turn the car around and go home. She's been going to a training course for the past few days. She hasn't been out of touch with society for several years and feels completely disconnected. She used to be content living in the Sheng family home, but now she realizes how much the outside world has changed. She plans to look for a job after a month of training.
The next day, Yiyi went home and, as expected, was scolded by her mother. In front of her mother, Yiyi felt that even if she hired a lawyer, she might not be able to out-argue her mother. Her mother was famous for her eloquence, and even her father sometimes couldn't do anything about her. She would often resort to crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.
The next afternoon, I was arranged to go on a blind date.
That evening, Yiyi called Yunshu to complain about her blind date, and Yunshu was both amused and exasperated. Yiyi's first blind date ended in failure, and a disastrous one at that.
"What's making you so happy?" Mingkun heard Yunshu laughing as she collapsed on the sofa after he finished showering.
"Yiyi went on three blind dates this afternoon. The first one was only thirty but already balding, the second was a sissy and gay, and the third was even worse—a man from a poor background who wanted her to buy him a house and a car and put the property in his name only. What a weirdo, haha. Yiyi is probably furious by the time she gets home. She's a promising young woman who returned from overseas, and yet she's been treated like this. She's not even thirty yet, and she's already being looked down upon like that."
"It's nothing. Whether it's a rich family or a poor family, as soon as a daughter graduates, people worry about her marriage. In rural areas, people get married even earlier. They hold a wedding banquet before they reach the legal marriage age of eighteen, and then get a marriage certificate and register the child's household registration a few years later when they have children."
"It's not like it used to be, it's not that serious now."
"Hehe, it's not as serious as before, but it won't get much better. But Yunshu, with Yiyi's personality, it won't be easy for her to find someone she's satisfied with. Her temper is almost as bad as Xu Ruo's, or even more explosive. Xu Ruo is now under Mingyuan's control, and she doesn't seem as carefree as she used to be."
"That's just how Yiyi is, but she's very loyal and a good person. You can't talk about her like that. I'm sure there are men who like and admire her."
"Yes, yes, I won't offend you women. I'll go in and check on Beibei." Mingkun thought that Yiyi was really a good match for Huainan. Only a gentle man like Huainan could tolerate her, just like the always calm Mingyuan could tolerate a woman with a bad temper like Xu Ruo.
……
"Dr. Gu, am I disturbing you?"
Around 8 p.m., Yun Shu received a call from Xie Yao.
"It's okay, it's still early, don't go to sleep so soon. You called... have you made up your mind?" Yun Shu asked nervously. She roughly knew that Xie Yao had already made up her mind, which was why she called her back.
“After you left yesterday, Cheng Ge came over. I noticed he looked much more haggard lately, so I chatted with him. He said he suddenly felt old and that if I didn't want to be with her, I could leave him. In my haste, I told him I was pregnant. He was initially happy, but then became worried, unsure of what to do. Seeing his hesitation chilled me to the bone. Sure enough, no matter how despicable that woman was, he still didn't want a divorce. It was probably for his pride and career. He said that even after the child was born, the father's identity couldn't be revealed, making my child an illegitimate child. I don't care if I suffer, but I don't want my child to be ridiculed at school, with the father's section always left blank on forms. Consider this my selfishness for my child; I'll cooperate with you, but you must be confident. Even if the plan fails, don't drag me into it.”
"Don't worry, we'll do an ultrasound in a while and say it's a boy. Then Gu Cheng won't arrange things like this for you. Also, Li Meng is going to have some bad luck in a couple of days. I just want you to whisper in Gu Cheng's ear about what people are saying about Li Meng, and to act pitiful in front of Gu Cheng, using the baby in her belly as an excuse. Of course, the most important thing is to make sure Gu Cheng doesn't dislike you, understand?"
"Okay, Dr. Gu, I understand. But there's one thing I don't understand. You're also Cheng Ge's daughter, so why would you want to harm the Gu family?"
"No, I didn't want to harm the Gu family. I just wanted revenge because it was Li Meng's daughter who pushed me into the sea. The grievances have their source and the debts have their debtors. I'm targeting Li Meng and her two daughters inside. I won't ask the Gu family for a penny. After all, I still want half of the Gu family's assets."
"Okay, then I believe you, and thank you for helping my brother."
"You're welcome. Take good care of yourself; your child is very important," Yun Shu said before hanging up.
The Gu family… they raised her for ten years, and her grandmother told her not to hate them before she passed away, so she wouldn't touch the Gu family. But Gu Cheng, she wanted to destroy his most cherished reputation and career, to expose his hypocrisy to everyone. And what's even more outrageous are Li Meng and her two daughters; she'll deal with them later!
Putting down my phone, I was still very happy. At least I had managed to keep Xie Yao calm for now. Next, I would slowly spread the net, let the fish swim into it, and then eliminate them one by one.
When Mingkun had someone find out where Li Meng was playing cards, it turned out to be a high-end place, a place exclusively for the wealthy to enjoy entertainment, and it even offered some special services.
Moreover, the investigation uncovered other things about Li Meng. It turned out that Li Meng was keeping a gigolo for a long time. When Mingkun told Yunshu about this, Yunshu couldn't help but sneer. They were both scoundrels, both cheating on their own marriages.
“Mingkun, if we send these to Gu Cheng, do you think he’ll be so angry he’ll vomit blood?”
“A man might cheat, but he can never tolerate his wife cheating on him. Li Meng wants this stain on her record; it would be the end of their marriage. Send this to Gu Cheng first and see how he reacts.”
“Okay, if we can’t send it to the Gu family, let’s just send it to his office. That way, no one else will take it.”
Mingkun nodded, "Let's do it that way."
