âGrandma,â Yun Nan guiltily said, âIâm afraid Iâm bringing trouble along with me.â
Chen Yao unconcernedly replied, âItâs fine. Having lived to such an old age, Grandma has seen all sorts of trouble, so go ahead. Tell me what youâve gotten yourself into this time.â
Yun Nan glanced at Du Juanâwho stared back at her in the carâand relayed the whole thing to Chen Yao. Then, Yun Nan silentlv drove while Du Juan told n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
her how Gu Feiâs sisters had tricked and locked her up in a villa for several months.
âItâs all my fault. I thought I could marry into wealth with this child. Who knew that rich people could be so cruel? They actually wanted to take the child and kill the mother,â Du Juan uttered, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Yun Nan suddenly asked, âHow did you meet Gu Fei?â
Du Juan was momentarily stunned before she turned her gaze to the outside of the car. âI worked as a waitress at the restaurant Gu Fei often visits with his friends, and we got to know each other after a while. He treats me quite well, buying me clothes, taking me to luxury hotels, and giving me pocket money thatâs even higher than my salary. I thoughtâI thought Iâd met Mr. Right; I thought I was the one he liked the most.â
Her voice gradually trailed off. Yun Nan sighed, âSo, you went to look for Shi
Xiu after you found out about the betrothal between Gu Fei and Shi Xiu?â
âYeah. I love Gu Fei too much. I canât live without him. Without him, my life will return to how it was before, but itâs different for Miss Shi. Sheâs rich to begin with, so she can live without Gu Fei,â Du Juan answered.
âHow did you know Gu Fei and Shi Xiu might become lovers?â Yun Nan asked.
Du Juan didnât speak.
âActually, the two of them arenât in a relationship, then or now,â Yun Nan said. âItâs just that their familiesâ elders had intended for them to marry. However,
Shi Xiu and Gu Fei donât have any feelings for each other, so they arenât lovers.â
Du Juan was shocked. âReally?â
Yun Nan nodded. âItâs true! Shi Xiu is the youngest child in the family. She has yet to graduate from university and is currently obsessed with acting; sheâs high on ambition right now and has no intention of dating, and her family wonât rush her to get married. Her two older brothers, as well as her father and grandfather, are all extremely outstanding, to the point that Gu Fei canât even compare to them. What makes you think sheâll take a fancy to Gu Fei?â
Du Juanâs eyes lit up. Yun Nan patiently led and guided the conversation, and stated, âThatâs why I think you might have been misled by someone, causing you to mess up the fan meeting. Not only did you offend the Shi family, but you also gave the Gu family a reason to despise you even more. Gu Fei hasnât spoken to you again after that, has he?â
Du Juan lowered her head. âHis sisters told me at the beginning that I could live comfortably as long as I quietly gave birth to the child. Gu Fei canât marry me, but he can come and visit me and our child often. They said marriage is just a piece of paper, and I donât have the capability to be Mrs. Gu anyway, so I might as well just quietly raise the child for the Gu family and be handsomely rewarded.â
Yun Nan didnât say anything. âI believed them,â Du Juan continued. âIt was the best option for me.â
She fell silent for a moment before wailing, âBut they all turned out to be liars. They lied to me! They just want me to give birth to this child. The Gu family lacks boys; theyâll have an heir if I give birth to a son. However, the child canât have a mother like me, so I have to die!â
Du Juan covered her face and wept. Yun Nan inwardly sighed, âIâll have to tell Annie and Meida about this later. Regardless of whether ifs true or not, its such good script material! Art is inspired by life, indeed.â
It wasnât until they reached the main entrance of the Gu familyâs house that Du Juan looked at the magnificent villa and apprehensively asked, âWâWhere is this place? Where are you sending me?â
Yun Nan scoffed, âDidnât you say that Iâm not a bad person? You didnât ask where I was sending you all the way here, but youâre afraid now that weâve reached our destination? Alright, fine. Why donât you give me an address, and Iâll send you there instead?â
Du Juan hurriedly smiled. âNo, I didnât mean it that way. IâIâm just a little on edge. I trust you. Youâre a good person; you surely wonât harm me!â
Yun Nan laughed. âOh, I donât know about that! Maybe youâll regret asking me for help!â Du Juan had already gotten out of the car and didnât hear Yun Nanâs words.
Yun Nan chuckled and put her arms around Chen Yaoâs neck. âGrandma, dear, who else can I turn to when Iâm in trouble if not you?â
This sentence was sweeter than honey to Chen Yao, and she immediately beamed.. âGood, and donât you forget it!â
