"Mom... I'm fine, please don't..."
Ye Luo opened his mouth, then sighed, looking as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Lolo, with Mom here, no one can touch you. I won't let you become that bastard's nanny!"
"Thank you, Mom."
Gu Yu's words were firm and resolute. She could tolerate things temporarily for the sake of long-term planning, but she would never allow her daughter to tolerate anything.
She has a bright future at Huada University, but working as a "nanny" in the Ye family is a complete humiliation!
"So you mean you won't interfere in my factory and are willing to take care of my daily life at home?"
Jiang Xiu stroked her belly, looking smug with Ye Yu backing her up. Gu Yu, though disgusted, remained silent.
"Hmph, at least you have some sense of the bigger picture. We are all members of the Ye family. We share the same fate, and we share the same fate. Take good care of Xiu'er. After the child is born, your good fortune will continue."
After Gu Yu finally agreed to stay home to take care of Jiang Xiu and her unborn child, Ye Yu's attitude towards her improved a little, but he was still sarcastic and unfriendly.
"And Luo Luo..."
"Lolo isn't going home; she lives in the school dormitory!"
Before Ye Yu could make any more outrageous demands, Gu Yu cut him off, preventing him from continuing.
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo herself was stunned; she had never said she wanted to live on campus.
"Mom, I live at school..."
She frowned. Living at school meant living with everyone and eating the same meals in the cafeteria, which she didn't want!
"Lolo, listen to your mother. There's nothing left in this family that's good for you. Boarding at school is the best option for you right now. If you don't want to, then I have no choice but to..."
Her eyes flickered. She had just returned to China, and the only person who wholeheartedly supported her was her mother, Gu Yu. She couldn't afford to strain their relationship, so she quickly agreed.
"Mom, I'll listen to you. You must be thinking of me. I'll pack my things now and go back to school to apply for on-campus accommodation."
"Good boy."
Gu Yu patted her daughter's head with relief. Although Ye Yu was angry, he couldn't say anything. But then he thought about it and realized that it was good for Ye Luo to stay at school. At least it would reduce one uncertainty and add a layer of security to the birth of his son.
"Since Luo Luo herself has agreed to live on campus, let's do it this way. At worst, I'll give her a certain amount of living expenses every month. I won't let a daughter of the Ye family starve to death outside."
"Heh, thank you, Dad," Ye Luo said coldly.
Why do some men so easily verbally abuse their wives and daughters, disregarding their feelings?
Why are there men like Cheng Ran who are unmoved by power, money, and sex, and who remain devoted to their wives even after marrying into an arranged marriage?
She clenched her hands tightly. Comparing the two photos, she was even more convinced that liking Cheng Ran was the right choice. If such a man could become her husband, her later life would definitely be surrounded by happiness.
Thinking about it, she suddenly felt that living at school wasn't so bad. Didn't Cheng Ran like the confident and resilient type? If she remembered correctly, Jiang Wanqing also lived at school...
Maybe this will increase the chances of us meeting, and one day he will see the difference between himself and Jiang Wanqing!
After she had figured it out, she ran upstairs briskly, picked up her brown leather suitcase, and began packing her things.
Downstairs, Gu Yu and Ye Yu were arguing. Jiang Xiu was bored and wandered around the house, "inadvertently" walking to Ye Luo's door.
The door to the room was ajar, and she saw Ye Luo sitting cross-legged on the floor packing her things.
"Hmph, the old ones will be my nannies, and the young ones will go to school to live. From now on, this entire Ye family... will belong to me!"
As she pretended, Jiang Xiu actually began to believe that the child in her belly was real, and unconsciously touched her belly.
The greater the benefits this "child" brings her, the more she wants to confirm her pregnancy...
He squinted, intending to go back to his room, when he inadvertently saw Ye Luo taking out clippings of rules from the secretary's office.
She was cutting out photos... Jiang Xiu stopped in her tracks and looked closely...
Isn't that Cheng Ran?
Ye Luo's room wasn't very big, and she was sitting near the door, so Jiang Xiu could clearly see the people in the clippings as long as she wasn't blind.
She also saw Ye Luo carefully put the clippings away, placing them in a box, and then reverently kissing them.
"I can leave everything behind, but I can't leave you behind. You will definitely be mine in the future!"
Jiang Xiu's eyes widened... What did she just hear? Ye Luo likes Cheng Ran?
But why? What do they have in common?
"Thump!"
He accidentally bumped his elbow against the door frame, making a sound. Ye Luo turned around, got up, and opened the door.
Upon seeing Jiang Xiu, she felt only bad luck.
"What are you doing at my door! Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me? Humph, you bitch!"
Ye Luo coldly sneered, calling her a "bitch" repeatedly. Jiang Xiu felt uncomfortable hearing this, but after much deliberation, she had a new and brilliant plan...
Dealing with Jiang Wanqing might not necessarily require a business war. Having an opponent who is no less capable than that woman in every way compete with her for Cheng Ran would definitely be a very exciting scene!
Thinking this, Jiang Xiu unconsciously smiled and even took Ye Luo's hand.
"Lolo, I'm sorry, I might have been a bit harsh when I said it downstairs just now."
"Just a little heavy, huh?"
Ye Luo didn't like her and wouldn't accept her insincere apology; she just felt disgusted and immediately shook off her hand.
Little did they know that Jiang Xiu was quite the actress; tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and she stood in front of Ye Luo.
"Lolo, you should also try to understand me. I married your grandfather not long before he died. The person I've been with day and night is indeed your father. Your parents have long since lost their feelings for each other. Why force it? It's normal for him to like me too."
"What exactly are you trying to say!" Ye Luo lost his patience.
"What I want to say is... I wasn't targeting your mom or you from the beginning, especially you. We're the same age, and I have no grudge against you. Everything about you is something I admire. If I could, I would rather be your friend than a competitor. To be honest, if your mom hadn't gone too far this time, I wouldn't have ended up like this..."
She sniffed symbolically, took out her badly injured hand, and deliberately lifted her hair to show Ye Luo the wound on her forehead.
"You saw it all, didn't you? With this level of damage, how many people wouldn't be angry?"
Ye Luo looked at the shocking wound and his mouth moved.
“My mom is indeed impulsive, but you…”
"You want to say I brought this on myself, right? Ha, but you don't know, I've lacked love since I was a child, and my cousin has been harming me all along. I finally opened a factory that could compete with her, and your mother had to ruin my plans. How could I not be angry?"
What she's trying to say is simple: she's angry, but it's not like she can't talk about it.
