Su Tian smirked: "How could you, an adopted son, possibly inherit the Zhuang family's wealth? Didn't you say yourself that the Zhuang family only adopted you as their godson because of the Xia family's influence? You have nothing."
"That was before, things are different now."
"What's the difference? They have their own biological son. If they don't give him to you, why are they giving you an outsider?"
“They really can’t give it to Zhuang Yan.” Gu Qian said with a gloomy face. “Zhuang Yan is a murderer who killed his own sister. Tang Jing hates Zhuang Yan to death. How could she possibly leave her property to him?”
Su Tian's eyes widened in disbelief. "Is this really true? Is there such a thing?"
Gu Qian said, "Of course it's true. Tang Jing said it herself, and I have a recording of it."
Su Tian hesitated for a moment: "But even so, it's still not as good as having one's own child. What if they have another child, or have an illegitimate child outside?"
Gu Qian: "That's even more impossible."
Su Tian was still wondering how it was impossible when she heard Gu Qian laugh twice.
"Zhuang Zhongming is ruined; he will never be able to have children in this lifetime."
This bookmaker really seems to have one problem after another; it feels like danger lurks everywhere.
Gu Qian glanced at her and said earnestly, "As long as I inherit all of the Zhuang family's assets, even if the Xia family targets me, I will still have a lot of money left after paying the company's breach of contract penalty, enough for us to live on for a lifetime."
"Tian Tian, for your son's sake, for my sake, please bear with it a little longer. Think carefully about why you gave birth to your son. Don't you want to live a good life, to give him a complete family, to be free from worries about food and clothing, and to have a head start in life?"
“Your family is poor, so you understand the hardships of being poor the most. It’s so hard to be poor. You have to start from the bottom and be looked down upon.”
"I'll give you 10 million now. You can use it to do whatever you want. Let's buy clothes, a cradle, toys, and baby supplies for the baby first. As for the rest, I remember you've always wanted to open a dessert shop. How about I help you open one?"
Gu Qiantai is very good at brainwashing people. She first plays the victim and then uses moral blackmail. Pregnant women are the most soft-hearted.
Su Tian's expression changed; she was persuaded by Gu Qian's words.
She tried to understand Gu Qian from his perspective and found that what he said made a lot of sense.
Moreover, Gu Qian still remembers her wish to open a dessert shop, which shows that he still cares about her.
Su Tian didn't say a word. In just a few seconds of daze, she let down all her guard and began to choose to trust this man.
Seeing that Su Tian's expression softened, Gu Qian immediately took out his phone and transferred money to Su Tian.
He was heartbroken about spending 10 million, but he wouldn't be able to persuade Su Tian so easily without spending some money.
After the money transfer, Gu Qian coaxed Su Tian to sit down, touching her belly and leaning in to listen to the baby's movements. He put on a great performance, appearing every bit the loving father.
"Are you hungry? Let's eat first. What do you like to eat? Are there any dietary restrictions for pregnant women? Tell me and I'll remember. After we finish eating, we can walk around the neighborhood and see if there's a suitable place to open a dessert shop."
Su Tian became increasingly docile after being coaxed, and her initial stubbornness was gone. She answered whatever Gu Qian said.
"My baby is about to be born, so I don't have time to open the shop."
"You can hire a few employees to look after the shop, and you can just comfortably be the boss's wife."
Su Tian was so pleased with herself that she completely forgot about being cautious.
Gu Qian took Su Tian to her home. The location wasn't remote; it was an old neighborhood with buses nearby and a vegetable market right at the entrance. It was crowded and inconvenient, making it difficult to make a move.
This is a typical rental apartment, mostly inhabited by young working professionals. Its main advantage is the cheap rent.
Gu Qian said with concern, "Let me find you a different place. The environment here is too bad, and it's not safe for you to live here alone. I'm worried about you. How about this? I'll rent you a small villa and hire two maids to take care of you and your daily needs. What do you think?"
Su Tian was held in Gu Qian's arms and didn't see the calculating look in his eyes. She was immersed in his tenderness and thought that the man had a change of heart and would give her a home.
She nodded obediently and said, "I'll do whatever you say."
After sending Su Tian home, Gu went to the Zhuang family's house that very night.
Zhuang Zhongming is still in the hospital. Only Tang Jing is in the villa. Bodyguards are watching her 24 hours a day and do not allow her to contact the outside world.
Tang Jing goes crazy every day, smashing things and hurling insults. Gu Qian could hear the crashing sounds coming from inside the house even before he entered.
He composed himself, steadied his emotions, and walked inside. The servants in the villa all called him "Young Master Gu."
Gu Qian discovered that all the servants in the Zhuang family had been replaced by men, and even Aunt Wang, who used to be in charge of cooking, had been replaced. It seemed that Tang Jing had made the change.
The living room was a mess, and the maid was cleaning. Gu Qian asked the housekeeper, "Where's my godmother? Is she alright?"
"The lady is upstairs."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a loud crashing sound came from upstairs. From the spiral staircase came Tang Jing's scream: "Where's Zhuang Yan? When is he coming back! Why isn't he back yet! Is he like his father, having someone else on the side so he doesn't want to come home anymore!"
"Godmother."
When Tang Jing heard Gu Qian call her, she froze for three seconds before rushing down the stairs in a crimson hue. She bent down and grabbed Gu Qian's hand tightly, her crimson eyes fixed on him.
"You're finally back! Didn't you say you were going to bring Zhuang Yan back? Where is he? Where is he?"
Gu Qian looked troubled: "Godmother, I seriously tried to persuade Zhuang Yan, but he said he would rather die outside than come home."
"He's really not coming back?" How could Zhuang Yan not come back? If he doesn't come back, who will she vent her anger on? He has to stay in this house for the rest of his life and let her torment him.
Gu Qian sighed sadly, "I even told him you were sick and asked him to come back and see you, to take better care of you. Who would have thought he would curse you, saying he wished you and Uncle Zhuang would die together. He even mentioned your deceased daughter."
Tang Jing: "What did he say?"
"He said he deserved it, that he'd been fed up with you for a long time, and that he would never drop the lawsuit." Gu Qian made up stories, trying to push Tang Jing's anger to its peak, because people lose control when they're extremely angry.
Tang Jing was indeed enraged and went berserk, shouting: "How dare he say that! He's a demon!"
Tang Jing gripped his hand so tightly it hurt, but Gu Qian endured the pain and said in a comforting tone, "Yes, he is a demon. He doesn't deserve to be your son. He killed his own sister and now he's cursing his own parents. Zhuang Yan is utterly inhuman. We should expose his crimes and bring him to justice!"
This way, Zhuang Yan would never be able to come back. Thinking of this, Gu Qian felt a sense of anticipation.
Gu Qian coaxed and coaxed Tang Jing step by step, using a gentle tone to persuade her.
Tang Jing's condition looks frightening, but she's a madwoman, and a mentally unstable madwoman is the easiest to brainwash.
"Yes, expose him. I want everyone to curse him. Who told him not to go home and not to listen to me?"
