Chapter 52 Morning Sickness

Gu Yuheng watched the farce end.

They completely exhausted what little patience they had left.

Shen Li gripped the wheelchair wheels, turned it twice, and faced Gu Yuheng.

His face was extremely pale because of what had just happened. Lin Yin's outburst, regardless of the occasion, had made him lose face in front of others.

Gu Yuheng already harbored resentment towards the Shen family because of the Xie family's daughter's disappearance, and he deliberately made things difficult for them during their several business encounters.

With his profound understanding, how could he not know the deeper meaning behind this?

He calmed himself down and looked at Gu Yuheng, saying, "Mr. Gu, it's my fault for not managing my household well; please forgive me."

Gu Yuheng's eyes were distant, showing no intention of being polite.

Ignoring Shen Li's polite words, he went straight to the point.

"Mr. Shen, I don't care about your family affairs, but please keep your children in check from now on. Don't let them act willfully and bother my wife again. If they continue to disobey, don't blame me for disciplining them personally. I believe you know my methods and will definitely manage your children well."

Shen Li's fingers tightened around the wheelchair handles, and his already pale face turned even more ashen.

According to seniority, Gu Yuheng should call him uncle.

But at that moment, they didn't take him seriously at all.

This made Shen Li feel utterly humiliated.

But the Gu family's status is undeniable; they hold prominent positions in both political and business circles, and everyone tries their best to curry favor with them.

The Ren family is also a wealthy family, but because they only stand firm in the business world, they are inevitably less confident when facing the Gu family.

Shen Li knew that Gu Yuheng had come to give him instructions today, and even though he didn't say it explicitly, Shen Li understood the meaning behind his words.

He then had a servant bring the rattan cane used for family discipline.

Holding a sturdy rattan cane, he sternly said to Shen Qingnan, "This is how I've always taught you: don't cause trouble, don't hang out with those scoundrels. But you've disobeyed me, causing trouble all day long. You've learned all the good and bad things from me, and now you've even gone and smashed someone's window! Kneel down! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll dare to commit murder and arson tomorrow!"

Shen Qingnan looked at the rattan cane in his father's hand and was so frightened that his face turned pale.

He was beaten quite a bit.

"Mr. Gu, please, I beg you to plead for me. I know I was wrong, but my dad will beat me to death."

Shen Qingnan, utterly pathetic, ran to Gu Yuheng and begged him with tears streaming down his face.

Gu Yuheng looked at him calmly: "If you're wrong, you should accept the punishment. If apologies were enough, what would be the point of having police?"

After saying that, he squeezed the little girl's hand tightly.

If he weren't here today, Su Niannian would have suffered unimaginable harm.

Thinking about this, a deep sense of lingering fear welled up in his heart.

Su Niannian felt her hand being gripped tightly and turned her head to look at Gu Yuheng.

Then, his eyes were blocked by Gu Yuheng.

A gentle voice whispered in my ear, "Don't look."

Shen Li's face was ashen: "Come here."

Shen Qingnan knew there was no way to avoid it, so he could only resign himself to his fate and kneel down in front of Shen Li.

A merciless lash fell.

Then a burning pain shot through his back.

He didn't care about his image at all, crying with snot all over his face, and said in a very pathetic way, "Dad, be gentle, be gentle, ahhhhh!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was whipped again, and his wails echoed through the living room; one might have thought a pig was being slaughtered.

As Su Niannian listened to him being whipped to the point of near death, she ultimately felt that Shen Qingnan had already paid the price for his actions because of her kind heart.

"Yuheng, don't let Mr. Shen continue. Shen Qingnan has already been punished."

Gu Yuheng thought to himself that the girl was still too soft-hearted. If he didn't teach her a lesson this time, she might collude with Su Xin and the others to cause trouble for Su Niannian next time.

He watched as Shen Qingnan was whipped a few more times before he said it was enough.

Su Niannian was really afraid of bringing up Shen Qingnan's problem, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Gu Yuheng speak.

However, the living room was filled with a strong stench of blood, which seeped into Su Niannian's nostrils.

She's pregnant now and can't stand the smell. She instantly felt the food in her stomach churning and surging upwards, about to burst out of her mouth.

She hurriedly pushed Gu Yuheng away, subconsciously bent down, and tried to run out of the villa, but it was too late.

She wanted to find a trash can, but couldn't see one anywhere, and was instantly extremely embarrassed.

But then, Gu Yuheng clasped his hands together and placed them in front of her.

There was no disgust in his eyes, and his tone was naturally worried as he said, "Niannian, throw up here."

With her stomach churning, Su Niannian couldn't hold back any longer. She could no longer suppress the surging emotions and, after gagging a few times, vomited a large mouthful of stomach acid into Gu Yuheng's hand.

A sour, rotten smell instantly filled the air.

Shen Li lightly covered his nose: "Aunt Chen, go get a trash can for President Gu."

Aunt Chen jogged over and placed it in front of Gu Yuheng.

Gu Yuheng calmly cleaned the foreign object from his hand.

Holding a clean handkerchief, she wiped her fingers clean without any hesitation.

Then, he gently patted Su Niannian's back and whispered, "Are you feeling any better?"

Su Niannian's face was a little pale, and her eyes were filled with tears. She met Gu Yuheng's concerned gaze.

Because of his considerate behavior.

My heart was deeply touched, and a warm current flowed through me.

She said somewhat awkwardly, "Much better."

If the company's employees were to see their respected CEO Gu catching her vomit with his bare hands, Gu Yuheng's dignified image would instantly crumble.

The words had barely left his mouth.

Shen Wanxi's figure appeared at the doorway of the living room.

She heard Gu Yuheng call Su Niannian his wife and witnessed Gu Yuheng catching Su Niannian's vomit the whole time.

Such a high and mighty person, three parts indifferent and seven parts cold-hearted.

He actually fell from his pedestal, lowered his stance, and was willing to go to such lengths for Su Niannian.

Gu Yuheng willingly gave everything to a woman he had only known for a short time, showing favoritism against his principles.

But she has known Gu Yuheng for so many years.

What does my hard work even matter?

Gu Yuheng was rightfully hers.

No one can take it away from you.

Jealousy spread through Shen Wanxi's heart like vines, entangling her entire being.

Jealousy twisted her face.

Standing at the doorway, backlit by the streetlight, she hysterically shouted, "Gu Yuheng, how can you be so sure Su Niannian is pregnant with your child? Didn't you get diagnosed as unable to have children? How could you let her get pregnant?"

Before Gu Yuheng could speak, Su Niannian retorted fiercely, "Miss Chen, stop spreading rumors and causing trouble here. Don't even think about trying to sow discord between me and Yuheng."

Gu Yuheng felt a surge of relief as he watched the little girl finally grow her sharp teeth.

Then, with a gloomy expression, he walked up to Shen Wanxi.

The voice was like a sharp dagger, chilling people to the bone: "If you keep talking nonsense and slandering Niannian's character, I'll cut your tongue out."
