"Gu Yu! Speak up!"
Jiang Xiu was so angry that her face was contorted, but Gu Yu remained sitting calmly and unmoved.
Enraged, she lunged at the other woman and tried to grab her by the neck, but Gu Yu threw a teacup at her, hitting her squarely on the forehead, causing blood to gush out.
"ah!"
She screamed, covered her head, and fell to the ground in fright.
"Blood...there's bleeding..."
Guo Xueyun was also terrified, gripping the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands. Gu Yu glanced at her, which made her instinctively retreat towards the door, fearing that the next teacup would hit her.
"You...do you want to kill someone?"
"Want to give it a try?" Gu Yu raised her eyes and approached Guo Xueyun step by step.
That coward didn't even try to help Jiang Xiu; he just ran away, afraid that if he stayed any longer, his life would be in danger.
"Come back here, Guo... ah... my hand..."
Before Jiang Xiu could raise her voice to stop the person who was deserting, Gu Yu stepped on her hand.
The person who doesn't usually wear high heels made a point of wearing stilettos today, grinding them hard against her hand while holding his head high with arrogance.
The force pressed down on the back of her hand, causing her to break out in a cold sweat and her lips to turn white.
"Hmph." Gu Yu snorted coldly, squatted down, pinched Jiang Xiu's chin hard, looked at her like she was trash, narrowed her eyes, full of disgust.
"You little slut! Don't think I don't know about your shameful affair with Ye Yu! Father and son sharing one woman, you want to bring shame to the Ye family! You bitch! A whore who's been with a thousand men and ridden by ten thousand! Are you angry? You think you're worthy? Even if I kill you today, Ye Yu won't dare do anything to me. You're destined to be a maggot in the gutter. I was originally going to let you go as long as you didn't spread it in front of me, but now... after all the filth you've done, you think I'll tolerate you?"
After saying that, Gu Yu shoved her hand away violently. Jiang Xiu almost felt her neck being snapped. A lump of air stuck in her throat, unable to come up or down, causing her extreme discomfort. Tears of fear glistened in her eyes.
"You old hag! It's your own fault that Ye Yu doesn't want you. I'm young and it's only natural that I attract him... Ah... it hurts..."
"Young and in the prime? Ha, yes, there are plenty of young people, but you can't find one more despicable than you out of a hundred! You used the Ye family's influence to set up this factory, and as the Ye family's only daughter-in-law and the only one who has borne a child for the Ye family, I naturally have the right to manage this factory! Otherwise, how would I know that you've been using this factory to seduce other men and ruin the Ye family's reputation!"
Gu Yu relentlessly accused Jiang Xiu of all sorts of things. Jiang Xiu's hand ached, and she was powerless to fight back. The Ye family knew about her shameful past, which was why Ye Yu didn't care that she was his stepmother in name only. After all, she wasn't exactly a pure and innocent person either.
Her vision began to blur with pain, and Gu Yu's voice still lingered in her ears.
The Ye family...the child...yes! The child!
Suddenly remembering something, she clenched her other hand tightly, snorted coldly, and temporarily gave in.
"Fine, you have the right to tell me what to do. I was wrong. I shouldn't have yelled at you. Can you... let go of me first?"
Gu Yu raised an eyebrow. It was quite rare to hear her begging for mercy and apologizing. She looked down and saw that the hand that had been stepped on was already swollen high, and it was probably going to bruise inside. If she stepped on it again, it would be ruined. She would just give her a handle to use against her, which was unacceptable.
With that thought in mind, she moved her feet away, clapped her hands, and sat back down on the sofa.
"Hmph, your only redeeming quality is that you're quick to kneel and shameless, otherwise you wouldn't be alive today."
These insulting words did not stir any emotion in Jiang Xiu's heart; her hatred only grew stronger. She silently got up, staggered to her feet, and stood still without saying a word or retorting.
"You've already scolded me, you've kicked me out, you've enjoyed almost all the power in this factory, can I leave now?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm planning to transform the factory. You just need to sign the papers, no need for any more talk. Get out of here," Gu Yu said lazily.
Jiang Xiu felt her head throbbing, blood trickling from her forehead, and her hands swelling. Hearing her words made her dizzy, but she forced herself to stay still and turned to leave.
She returned to her office and called Ye Yu using the landline.
"Ah Yu... I've been bullied by your wife! Come pick me up from the factory! If you don't come, I'll kill myself... Waaah... Anyway, it's no different from being dead!"
After she finished crying and making her accusations, she hung up the phone. Less than an hour later, Ye Yu arrived in his family car to pick her up.
Gu Yu watched all this through the window, her teeth itching with hatred—that adulterous couple!
In the car, Jiang Xiu was crying her eyes out, sitting in the back seat with Ye Yu. The driver didn't dare to look back even once. As the driver for the Ye family, he could only turn a blind eye and couldn't interfere in things that weren't his business, even though these things weren't exactly human affairs...
"Waaah... Ah Yu, your old hag is so mean! It's one thing to interfere in my factory affairs, but look at this..." She raised her hand, pointing to her forehead, "She hurt me like this, she has to pay the price! You can't protect her..."
As she spoke, she snuggled into Ye Yu's arms, looking every bit like a seducer.
He patted her hand dismissively to comfort her: "Don't take it to heart. She's old and has a bad temper. You're still young and have a long road ahead of you. It's not worth getting angry with her."
She bit her lip. This damned old man was indeed only after her body. As one of the few male members of the Ye family, if he stopped protecting her, she would find it difficult to move an inch in the Ye family. Not to mention whether she could keep the factory, she would probably be kicked out.
She touched her belly... she still needed a strong support.
The car rolled over a pothole, making her gag. She pretended to open the window and vomited a few times.
"Ugh...ugh...Ah Yu, I feel so awful, did Gu Yu hurt me?"
With tears in her eyes, she looked at him pitifully and nestled against his arm.
"Feeling nauseous? How long have you been feeling this way?"
"It seems...it seems like it's not just today."
Ye Yu's eyes lit up: "If I remember correctly, you haven't had your period this month yet..."
He glanced at her belly, his eyes calculating something. She smiled coyly and nodded.
"You remember it perfectly, that's how it is."
He didn't remember it accurately; it just so happened that he thought about her last month, and when she came, he lost interest, so he remembered it more clearly.
"Quick, quick, let's go to the hospital right away." He opened his mouth, his eyes still fixed on her stomach, but quickly changed the subject: "Ahem... You have such a pretty face, you can't have any scars. With the hospital's medical report, I can settle accounts with that old hag!"
He gritted his teeth. If Jiang Xiuzhen was pregnant, Gu Yu would be committing murder to cut off his lineage. He would never allow such a thing to happen!
