After Becoming a Supporting Role with a Child, I'm Fought Over by CEOs

Contemporary college student Ye Zhao stayed up all night working on a thesis and died of exhaustion, transmigrating into the CEO's fiancée and becoming a calculating supporting role.

Well...

Chapter Fifty-Four: A Twist of Fate

The weather in Shangyang was as cool as ever. After the Jiang brothers left, the guesthouse returned to its usual tranquility. Ye Zhao had finished dinner here today and was leisurely strolling home.

The square was as lively as ever, but Ye Zhao had no interest in watching and turned to go home.

During the days that Yuanbao was away from home, she didn't stay at home often either, and the house hadn't been tidied up for several days, so it was already a mess.

Ye Zhao leisurely finished cleaning the house, took a shower, and just as she finished drying her hair and sat on the sofa to watch some variety shows to pass the time, she received a call from Yan Xu.

Yan Xu rarely calls her, and when he does, it's always because he has something on his mind. But what could it be this time?

"Hello?"

"Are you resting?" His voice carried a hint of coldness.

Ye Zhao casually swiped through the tablet screen as she replied, "Yeah, that's about it."

Yan Xu cleared his throat before saying, "There's something I want to tell you..."

Ye Zhao simply said, "Go ahead."

“Chen Du and the old man went to B City to see the children today, and I agreed to it.”

Ye Zhao was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but asked in a relatively calm tone, "Why did they suddenly decide to come and see the child?"

Yan Xu sighed and said slowly, "They've wanted to see the child for a long time, but they haven't bothered you because they were mindful of your feelings."

"What do you mean?" Ye Zhao asked softly, expressionless.

“When you were born prematurely, Grandpa Shen also spent several months in the ICU. Then something happened at the Shen family business, and Shen Du was too busy to check on you. He didn’t realize the baby had already been born…”

Listening to Yan Xu slowly recount the twists of fate that happened a few years ago, Ye Zhao felt a mix of emotions. During that time, Yuanbao was on the verge of death in the hospital, and she had broken down emotionally many times. Later, she ignored all the calls from the Shen family. It wasn't until her child received another critical condition notice that she finally called Shen Du. However, when he answered the phone, he only said that he was very busy and that they would talk later. Ye Zhao never contacted them again after that.

“It wasn’t until he couldn’t contact you that he came to me. Perhaps realizing his mistake, and seeing that you didn’t want to associate with them, they didn’t bother you. They just occasionally asked me about you and your child.”

Ye Zhao remained silent. Yan Xu paused and then said, "Actually, when you were still abroad, Yuanbao's later attending physician was also contacted by Shen Du..."

"Ye Zhao, I didn't originally plan to tell you these things. It's true that they neglected you and the child at a critical moment, but I think you should know these things no matter what."

Ye Zhao remained silent for a while before asking softly, "Did Grandpa Shen also go to B City?"

She had previously thought that it was because she had an emotional breakdown during that period and refused to answer their calls, which was why they stopped calling. It turns out that he had also had an accident.

Yan Xu replied, "Yes, I did. I gave them permission to see the child last night. If you have any objections..."

Ye Zhao interrupted him, saying, "I have no objection. They are also the child's family. Please tell them that as long as the child is not made public, they can see him if they want."

Yan Xu was slightly taken aback. He knew that Grandpa Shen treated Ye Zhao well, so he thought yesterday that even if Ye Zhao was present, she would agree to let them see the child. He just didn't expect her to agree so readily.

Before he could recover, Ye Zhao asked, "How has Grandpa Shen's health been these past two years?"

"I heard that he has been recuperating at home since that accident, and he is still in good health this year."

"That's good……"

Ye Zhao and Yan Xu didn't really have much to say to each other. Perhaps because of what the original owner had done, Yan Xu had never been very fond of her. Even though things had improved slightly in recent years, they were still just in a state of normal communication and contacting each other when necessary.

So after they finished talking, they hung up the phone. Ye Zhao sat quietly for a while and then called Yan Xi.

"Hey, Xiaoxi."

"Yes, I know, my cousin told me."

"Let them see the child whenever they want, it's no big deal."

"My renovations will be finished soon, and I'll come pick up my child in a couple of days."

"If they want to spend time with the children these next couple of days, let them."

Ye Zhao had no reason to object. It was clearly written down in black and white back then. Her lack of contact with them over the years wasn't entirely due to resentment. A large part of the reason was that she didn't want to have too much contact with Chen Du, nor did she want Yuanbao to be exposed to others.

Since he wants to see the child, Ye Zhao doesn't need to stop him. She just hopes he will set regular visiting times and protect the child.

She has been here for four years. Everyone has their own family and their own happiness. She also has Yuanbao. She only hopes that her child will be safe and that life will go smoothly.

Yan Xi told Yan Sen about Ye Zhao's idea, and he immediately called Chen Du.

The next morning, he left the Yan family home with a spirited little Yuanbao.

Grandpa Shen was already very satisfied after seeing the child, and even slept much better last night. Unexpectedly, when he woke up in the hotel this morning, he heard the news that Yan Sen had brought the child over. He was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Butler Liu to prepare some of the child's favorite foods, and also asked Yang Xu to quickly buy the child's favorite toys...

His joy was palpable, but Shen Du remained calm. Seeing this, Old Master Shen simply sighed and said nothing more, but Yang Xu knew that Shen Du was not at peace either.

He was almost asleep last night when he received a message from Chen Du, asking him to cancel his conference call this morning.

This morning, I called him very early, asking him to prepare some things the children like before Grandpa Shen even knew about it. So, by the time Grandpa Shen made the arrangements, the things he bought this morning had almost been delivered to the hotel.

Yuanbao sat in his child safety seat, staring curiously at the scenery rushing past the window. Suddenly, he saw something, his eyes widening in surprise. He turned to Yan Sen and said, "Grandpa, I just saw the place where white clouds are produced!"

Yan Sen almost didn't understand what he was saying. After a couple of seconds, he burst into laughter, patted Yuanbao's fluffy little head, and said, "Yuanbao is so cute, but that's not the place where white clouds are produced."

Yuanbao was a little confused, then said excitedly, "I saw the white clouds coming out of there, Uncle is lying."

"Your great-uncle didn't lie to you. It really isn't a white cloud. That's called a chimney. What comes out is smoke, not white clouds."

Yuanbao looked at him intently, and after listening, her little face scrunched up as she seemed to be thinking about something.

Upon seeing this, Yan Sen burst into laughter again.

Under the bright sunshine, the car drove towards the largest hotel in B City.
