Chapter 120 Wanting a Daughter

Gu Yushu tiptoed back to the room and saw Shen Zhen huddled under the covers. He thought she had been frightened by the old man, and his heart ached. He lifted the covers and hugged Shen Zhen, saying, "Zhenzhen, don't overthink it. I only want you as my baby."

Shen Zhen turned around, pinched Gu Yushu's delicate nose, her eyes gentle and sparkling, "Yushu, but I want our baby! Eyebrows like yours, face like mine, following us and calling us 'Mommy.' Don't you think that's amazing?"

Shen Zhen leaned closer to Gu Yushu and said shyly, "Ashu, I want to have a daughter, and her nickname will be Yuanyuan. We can watch her grow up together, okay?"

Looking at Shen Zhen, who was softly talking and dreaming about the future in her arms, Gu Yushu felt an unexpected surge of joy. She lowered her head and kissed Shen Zhen's chattering lips, licking them deeply. Her Zhenzhen! She was always so lovable. How could she describe her feelings at this moment? Her heart was overflowing with a mixture of sweetness and bitterness.

After the New Year, Gu Yushu handed over many company matters to Chu Chu and Chu Pei, and took Shen Zhen abroad.

Chu Chu was overwhelmed with work every day and had to endure Yang Jia's sarcastic remarks. Yang Jia knew that Gu Yushu and Shen Zhen had gone abroad to have their baby, and understood that the old man was determined to hand over the Gu family business to Gu Yushu. Her Hanhan had no hope at all. Yang Jia didn't dare to show her emotions to Gu Yushu and the old man, so she would occasionally go to Chu Chu to make her presence known.

Chu Chu is now eagerly awaiting Gu Yushu's return every day; all she wants is to be with Shen Wan! If she keeps working like this, her wife might run away! And those two, under the guise of trying to conceive, have gone abroad for their honeymoon! Entrusting such a large company to her, she gets a headache just looking at Chu Pei now! Heaven knows what kind of life she's living!

...

After a year of eager anticipation, Chu Chu finally welcomed the two great figures back. On the day of their return, Zhong Li hosted a welcome dinner for them.

Gu Yushu carefully appeared, carrying Shen Zhen in his arms. Shen Zhen's belly was already slightly protruding, so Gu Yushu was even more cautious, wishing he could support Shen Zhen as she walked.

"Oh my! Yu Shu, you kept it a secret so well! You didn't let a word out!" Zhong Li exclaimed as soon as she saw the two of them appear. She and Xiao Yu weren't even married yet, and these two had actually had a baby after a year abroad! So jealous! So incredibly jealous! Absolutely so!

Jiang Yu's eyes lit up and she rushed to Shen Zhen, "Zhenzhen, let's get this straight, I want to be the child's godmother! No one is allowed to take her from me!"

Zhong Li grabbed Jiang Yu by the back of her neck, pulled her close, and whispered, "Sit still, your godmother will take good care of you. Be careful not to cause a scene."

Shen Zhen patted Gu Yushu, gave her a playful glare, and smiled at everyone, saying, "Don't let her affect you, she's too nervous. Actually, I'm perfectly fine!"

Gu Yushu took Shen Zhen's hand and sat down next to her, his eyes full of tenderness. "Yes, no matter how well or poorly you are, because it's you, I'm always worried. Wife, don't find me annoying."

"Ugh! You guys are so mean! You come back and all you do is feed me dog food! I can't take it anymore!" Jiang Che slammed his fist on the table and yelled, "You guys are all so unreasonable!"

Shen Zhen glanced at him and teased, "What? Still haven't caught up with them?"

Jiang Che's ears turned red. He and Chu Pei had done everything couples do, but neither of them had said "I love you." Jiang Che felt a pang of disappointment; he didn't know how to explain his relationship with Chu Pei to others.

Jiang Che quickly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about me, let's talk about you guys, how are things abroad?"

Chu Chu snorted, "What else can they do abroad? They're having such a good time that they don't want to leave! Yu Shu, the reason you're happy is because I'm carrying the burden for you!"

Gu Yushu glanced at Chu Chu casually, "Oh, not bad, you can keep going!"

Chu Chu let out a "woof" and collapsed into Chen Wan's arms, wailing, "Xiao Wan, your sisters are bullying me! You have to stand up for me!"

Shen Wan gently patted Chu Chu's fluffy head twice; it felt wonderful. She said softly, "Be a good girl, sister. Let me pet you."

Chu Chu immediately rubbed against Shen Wan's shoulder like a cat that had been stroked, "Hmph! I won't hold it against you for my wife's sake!"

Gu Yushu's lips twitched, and he rolled his eyes. Chu Chu was finished; she was completely under his control...

After finishing the meal, Jiang Che exclaimed that he couldn't take it anymore. They were all so sickeningly sweet! They didn't treat him like a human being at all; it was like being tortured with dogs! This was awful!

Gu Yushu carefully escorted Shen Zhen home when suddenly a person rushed out of the door and charged straight at them. Startled, Yushu shoved Shen Zhen back into the car.

It turned out that Yang Jia had rushed over in a frenzy. No matter how much she tried to please the old man this past year, he had always been indifferent to the three of them. Now that news of Shen Zhen's pregnancy had spread, she couldn't take it anymore.

Yang Jia's eyes were filled with madness as she gripped Gu Yushu's clothes tightly. Her shrill voice was exceptionally clear in the darkness, "Why don't you just die, you burden? Do you have to compete with Hanhan? Huh? Why don't you just die like your mother?"

Gu Yushu brushed her hand away, coldly looking at Yang Jia, her heart completely unmoved. "Even you are alive and well, why should I die? What do you want by rushing over here?"

Yang Jia, her hair disheveled and her eyes red-rimmed, said, "Your useless father only knows how to hide behind me. I should have made him kill you long ago, but he didn't dare! Now it's me and Hanhan who are suffering! Xiaoshu, you have everything now, give the Gu family business to your father! Huh? Okay?"

Gu Yushu looked at her as if she were an idiot. "You're suffering? What about all those projects that Grandpa gave Dad overseas? What kind of mess have you made? And the Gu family business is not something you can touch."

Yang Jia pounded on the car window, yelling, "Shen Zhen, come out here! What right do you have to be pregnant! You two women are violating human ethics! Gu Shi is ungrateful! Ugly!"

Shen Zhen tried to open the car door, but Gu Yushu pulled her inside. She shoved Yang Jia away, yelling, "Crazy! Get out!"

Yang Jia was pulled by Gu Yushu and stumbled to the ground. She got up and tried to rush forward.

A hunched figure rushed over from the doorway, brandishing a cane and began to beat Yang Jia mercilessly.

"You dare bully my granddaughter-in-law! Who do you think you are? The Gu family property is yours to take! Dream on!"

Grandpa Gu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, striking Yang Jia's body, head, and face repeatedly with his cane. He had come specifically to see Yu Shu and Shen Zhen after hearing they had returned, but he hadn't expected to witness this scene. His blood boiled, and without thinking of anything else, he rushed over.

"Ouch! Dad! Dad! Be gentle! It's me!" Yang Jia wanted to fight back, but dared not hurt the old man, so she could only lie on the ground and wail.
