Chen Yao glanced at Du Juan’s pregnant belly. “You want to be acknowledged by the Gu family, but Gu Fei can’t have any stain to his name; otherwise, he won’t be able to marry a lady from a wealthy family of equal status. They want to do away with you, but they also want the child in your belly. They’re trying to have their cake and eat it too, if you ask me. Tsk, tsk, how tough for them.”
Du Juan’s face paled slightly. Chen Yao continued as if she hadn’t noticed, “That’s why someone clever thought to send you to me. That way, you’ll be under the Gu family’s care, and I naturally won’t just stand by and watch as the child is born without a guardian in the Gu family. They’ve been wanting to get us to adopt their children and were worried we wouldn’t take them in, so this child of Gu Fei’s—his genuine flesh and blood—is the perfect candidate, and this will resolve all their troubles. What a smart person indeed!”
Du Juan shook as she held her belly. “Madam Gu, I—I don’t know anything. I—I just want to protect myself.”
Chen Yao raised her eyebrows. “Protect yourself, huh? Well, you’re a smart woman. However, you’re unforgivable to me since you chose to target Yun
Nan.”
Du Juan didn’t understand what she meant. Chen Yao’s expression turned icy. “You best put away those little plots and schemes of yours. Don’t go having ideas. If you’d stayed with the Gu family, they would at least keep you alive since they care about your child, but here at my place, I actually don’t care about you or the child, so tread carefully.”
And with that, Chen Yao turned around to leave. Du Juan fell to her knees with a thud, crying, “Madam, please save us! My child and I truly have no other way out. I don’t want to die.”
She reached out and handed her phone over. “They installed a GPS in my phone. You’re right; they want me to give birth here and have you raise my child. That way, he can inherit your assets.”
Cold sweat beaded on Du Juan’s forehead. Chen Yao stopped, looked down at her condescendingly, and coldly uttered, “Don’t get any ideas here if you want to live!”
Du Juan lowered her head, breathing heavily. Chen Yao strode out, and when she got to the door, she instructed, “Send her to the hospital. Just leave her anywhere if she doesn’t behave herself.”
“Yes, ma’am!” The staff outside the door respectfully replied.
Du Juan felt a chill from the bottom of her heart, and all her strength sapped away, allowing the medical staff to come in, help her up, and take her away. There was a dull ache in her abdomen, and the back of her clothes were soaked in sweat.
Tan Ning told Yun Liu about the news she’d heard. “You say someone is pregnant with Gu Fei’s child?” Yun Liu exclaimed, shocked.
