Chapter 68: We finally arrived at the Jin Yuhua Mansion.
Li Chian and Xu Zhuwen escorted Gao Yinxi upstairs, one on each side.
Yuan Ergeng followed behind and whispered to Yu Shi, "Brother, thank you."
"You're welcome. You'll be busy from now on."
Yuan Ergeng pinched the bridge of his nose and let out a long sigh, "I'm sorry you had to see this."
Yu Shi looked at him with sympathy, "It's good that nothing serious happened."
...
upstairs.
Xu Zhuwen and Li Chian helped Gao Yinxi into the room.
"Go to the room or lie on the sofa?"
"I'm not lying down, I'm packing my things and leaving."
Gao Yinxi went straight into the bedroom and began packing her luggage.
What are you packing?
"We'll help you."
The two supported Gao Yinxi's decision without hesitation.
When Yuan Ergeng came upstairs, he found the living room empty as soon as he entered.
In the room, Gao Yinxi sat on the bed, directing Li Chian and Xu Zhuwen to help her pack her things.
A large suitcase was placed on the floor of the room. Xu Zhuwen and Li Chian were folding clothes and packing cosmetics.
The aunt was putting the shoes in a bag on the side.
"Yinxi, what are you doing?" Yuan Ergeng followed into the room, his tone anxious.
Gao Yinxi didn't even look up. "I'm going to stay with Yanshu for a while. I've already called him, and he'll come pick me up soon."
"Honey, didn't we say we shouldn't move around too much during pregnancy?"
“It’s alright, the child is already so big.” Gao Yinxi looked at him calmly. “Ergeng, I don’t want to force you, but I also need to ensure the safety of myself and the baby. If we don’t pay attention to some things, the damage may be beyond our control.”
"I'll keep a close eye on him..."
“Manage him? How can you manage him? He’s eight, almost nine now, and in a few years he’ll be going through puberty, which will make him even harder to manage.” She stopped what she was doing and interrupted Yuan Ergeng. “I allow you to come see me and I allow you to be involved in the child’s growth. But until Yuan Lang’s problem is completely resolved, I need to keep my distance from him.”
Yuan Er scratched his head in anguish, "Yinxi, I know it's Yuan Lang's fault this time, and I will teach him a lesson. But please give me time to deal with this; I didn't expect this to happen."
“You have to think that without this situation, I wouldn’t be able to calmly face the person who almost killed my child, even though he was just a child,” Gao Yinxi said calmly. “I understand you can’t ignore him, but I can’t live in danger either. I shouldn’t have to make this choice.”
The phone rang.
Gao Yinxi picked up her phone and answered, "Okay, just wait downstairs, I need to do this for a bit."
After a few words, she hung up the phone and told Yuan Ergeng, "My brother has arrived."
A bell rang outside the door.
The aunt turned around, left the room, and opened the door.
A short while later, Gao Yanshu appeared at the door.
"How did you get up here?" Gao Yinxi asked in surprise.
"Let me help you with your luggage."
Gao Yanshu was a few centimeters taller than Yuan Ergeng, and standing by the door, he inexplicably gave people a sense of pressure.
He brushed past Yuan Ergeng's shoulder as he entered the room, giving him a cold shoulder.
"Yanshu, I'm sorry, it's my fault for not taking good care of Xixi."
Gao Yanshu lowered his head and glanced at him. "I'll settle this with you later."
Previously, his attitude towards Yuan Ergeng was just so-so, but today's incident of Yuan Lang drugging him has almost completely destroyed all his goodwill towards Yuan Ergeng.
He was burning with anger inside, and if it weren't for Gao Yinxi holding him back, he would have punched the other person a few times.
Yuan Ergeng knew he was in the wrong and couldn't be tough in front of his brother-in-law, so he obediently made way for him.
"Are you done cleaning up?" Gao Yanshu's expression immediately softened when dealing with Xu Zhuwen and Li Chian.
"That's fine." Xu Zhuwen moved aside. "You can pull it up and take it down."
Li Chi'an asked Gao Yinxi, "Baby, do you want to change your clothes?"
"Yes, you can all leave."
Gao Yinxi glanced at Yuan Ergeng.
He had no choice but to follow Gao Yanshu, who was carrying a suitcase, into the living room, looking rather dejected.
"Sis, I'm going downstairs now."
Gao Yanshu spoke to Gao Yinxi through the door.
"I changed my clothes and went downstairs."
Gao Yanshu picked up his suitcase and finally looked at Yuan Ergeng properly before leaving. "My sister is staying with me for a while. If you want to come see her, I won't stop you. If you're busy, I can take good care of her and the baby in her belly. As for your son, since he's a child, I can't say anything, but this matter won't just end like this."
Yuan Ergeng rarely saw Gao Yanshu speak so sharply. "My father was very worried about my sister after he found out about this."
“I understand. Give me some time, I’ll handle everything.” Yuan Er nodded dejectedly. “You guys go ahead first, let me tidy up, I’ll come find you later, and then I’ll apologize to Dad.”
After obtaining their marriage certificate, Yuan Ergeng immediately called Gao Shanhai to change his address.
Gao Yanshu raised his hand to refuse, "Stop, there's no place for you to stay over there. Auntie is coming with us later too."
These two aunties were hired by Chairman Gao, so naturally they would go wherever Gao Yinxi went.
"Do you need me to take them there?"
"No need, I brought my driver."
Almost as soon as Gao Yanshu left, Yuan's parents rushed over, still dressed in their banquet attire.
"At the second watch, we saw Yinxi's younger brother downstairs. He was carrying a suitcase. Is Yinxi leaving?"
Mother Yuan asked Yuan Ergeng anxiously.
Mr. Yuan asked urgently, "The child wants to take your wife's surname? How can that be! The grandson of the Yuan family should naturally have the surname Yuan!"
As soon as Gao Yinxi stepped out of the room, she saw the chaotic scene of Yuan's father and mother interrogating Yuan Ergeng.
"Yinxi, are you leaving?" Yuan's mother quickly walked to her side.
"Um, Mom, something's come up at home, I'm going home for a few days." She didn't want to explain too much and was trying to brush things off.
"Uncle, Aunt, we're leaving now, bye-bye." Xu Zhuwen and Li Chi'an said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Yuan and walked towards the door first.
Gao Yinxi followed behind them, wanting to go out together, but was stopped by Yuan's mother, "Yinxi, isn't it good to stay here and rest? Why do you suddenly want to leave?"
Gao Yinxi was exhausted and didn't want to say anything more.
She glanced at Yuan Ergeng and said, "Could you explain to your parents for me? Yu Shi and my brother are still waiting downstairs. We'll go first."
Although Yuan Ergeng was reluctant to let Gao Yinxi leave, he still stopped Yuan's parents, saying, "Yinxi has some urgent matters to attend to at home, let her go first."
With his help, the three of them were able to get downstairs safely.
Inside the elevator.
Li Chian sighed deeply, "What a chaotic day."
"So this is what a real marriage between wealthy families looks like, truly amazing," Xu Zhuwen joked.
Gao Yinxi glared at them, "Do you think I don't have enough trouble already?"
"No, no," Xu Zhuwen chuckled. "We've stayed with you until now because we know you're a busybody. Otherwise, I would have gone home and been lying down long ago."
After saying that, she yawned, "This old lady is too old to keep going."
"Oh, why are you calling yourself an old auntie? Isn't it said that fifty-year-olds can still be beautiful girls?" Gao Yinxi complained.
"Xixi, are you feeling alright now?" Li Chian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Was it your decision to take the baby's surname, made unilaterally without informing us, or was it something you discussed with Ergeng beforehand?"
“I mentioned it to him before, but he didn’t give me a definite answer, so I’m announcing it myself today,” Gao Yinxi said frankly. “I’m fine now.”
"Awesome!" Xu Zhuwen gave Gao Yinxi a thumbs up.
“I never planned to get married,” Gao Yinxi sighed. “Seeing Yuan Lang like this today, I regret getting the marriage certificate with him.”
He still found it hard to accept that Yuan Lang had drugged him.
"Why are kids these days so jealous?"
upstairs.
Upon hearing this, Yuan's parents were shocked. "What? Yuan Lang... This is impossible! He's still a child; he must have been deceived! Just discipline him properly..."
“That’s no excuse. He’s almost ten years old; he should know what he can and cannot do. This matter must be dealt with seriously.” Yuan Er shook his head. “Regardless of whether he was deceived or not, this kind of behavior cannot be tolerated.”
Mr. Yuan was still unwilling to give up, "But the child's surname is..."
“Dad, it was a mutual decision for the child to take Yinxi’s surname. That’s not the point right now.” Yuan Er interrupted him, “I need to settle Yinxi first, we can talk about the rest later.”
"Yinxi is too spoiled. Why does she always want to leave..." Yuan's mother muttered. "She's with us. What have we done wrong to her?"
"She didn't say you treated her badly." Yuan Ergeng was extremely annoyed, and his tone was a bit sharp.
Seeing his unpleasant expression, Madam Yuan dared not say anything more.
Mr. Yuan also pulled her back, saying, "Say less! Let the young couple handle their own affairs; let's not interfere."
Mother Yuan endured it again and again, but she was still unwilling to give up.
She went to the water bar, poured a glass of water for Mr. Yuan and Mr. Yuan Ergeng, and then sat down next to them.
“It’s not impossible for the child to take Yinxi’s surname,” she said, bringing up the topic herself. “But we can’t only have one child.”
"Unless she's willing to have another child, one with her surname and one with ours. We're not sexist; boys and girls are the same."
After saying that, she looked at the Yuan father and son, "What do you think?"
Just as Mr. Yuan was about to nod, Mr. Yuan said impatiently, "The child takes our family name, so why should her father give our child a mine?"
...
Gao Yanshu's apartment is spacious, comfortable, and has a wide view.
Gao Yinxi stood by the window, gazing at the city's night view, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She recalled the breakfast table a few days ago, where she was slowly spreading blueberry jam on her toast. Yuan Lang stared at her slightly protruding belly and suddenly pushed the glass of milk in front of her.
"Auntie, drink this." At that moment, his eyes were as clear and bright as glass beads.
Gao Yinxi thought to herself, "This child has finally stopped arguing with me." However, because she hadn't been digesting well during that time, she didn't drink milk. But because of the child's rare kindness, she smiled and accepted the cup, saying, "Thank you."
Looking back now, the child's unusually obedient behavior had ulterior motives.
"Interesting. I just wanted to have a child, and now I've become a thorn in someone else's side." Gao Yinxi touched her round belly and suddenly laughed. "I never looked down on the Yuan family anyway, but since that's how it is..."
The phone rang; it was a message from Li Chi'an: "How are you? Are you settled in? Do you need us to come and keep you company?"
Gao Yinxi replied, "No need, Yanshu is at home. I'll need you to keep an eye on Rose Manor recently, as the preparations for the trial operation can't be delayed."
The trial operation of Rose Manor is about to begin, the life in her womb awaits a safe arrival, the Gao family, the Yuan family, and their own business empires are all expanding, and the complex situation of family relationships also requires wisdom and courage to face.
Gao Yinxi's life experiences have taught her that no matter how great the difficulties, as long as she doesn't die, she can always get through them and there's always a way.
She cannot be trapped in the same place.
Right now, she just wants to get a good night's sleep.
"I will." In the car, Li Chi'an put down his phone and looked at Yu Shi next to him. "I suddenly feel a little tired."
Yu Shi patted her head and said, "Don't worry, she'll handle it."
“I know she can handle it,” Li Chian sighed, “but, alas…”
"Are you worried about Yuan Lang?" Yu Shi was always able to immediately catch Li Chi'an's emotions and concerns.
Li Chi'an looked up at him with gentle eyes, "Yes, I just feel it's such a pity, he's only eight or nine years old."
At only eight or nine years old, such intense hatred was sown in the child's heart.
Li Chi'an recalled the banquet earlier, where everyone was sending blessings to Gao Yinxi, Yuan Ergeng, and their unborn child amidst laughter and joy. However, she inadvertently noticed Yuan Lang sitting at the table, viciously stabbing the mousse cake on his plate with his fork.
Cream splattered everywhere, even getting on Yuan Ergeng's coat hanging on the back of the chair.
His eyes flashed with resentment beyond his years.
When she saw this scene, she felt a chill run down her spine, and she still can't suppress that fear and worry.
Do the people around him really love him?
Yu Shi responded in a low voice, "Everyone pursues different things in life, and fate will push him to where he is meant to go."
Other things are not something outsiders like them can criticize too much.
Halfway through the drive, Yu Shi asked Li Chi'an, "Are you hungry? Do you want to get something to eat?"
"No need, I want to go home," Li Chi'an said with a headache. "I have a live broadcast tonight. I should have changed the date."
"I'm tired, how about we reschedule?" Yu Shi is someone who always follows his own subjective feelings.
He believes that if you're going to do something, you should either not do it at all, or you should do it wholeheartedly.
"How can that be?" Li Chi'an sat up and said seriously, "I'm just a little tired. I'll go back and take a nap. It won't interfere with my live stream tonight. At worst, I'll stream for a shorter time. Not streaming at all is definitely not an option."
Recently, she started doing a live stream on the platform once a week.
The main reason is that her self-media content sparks a lot of discussion among her fans. By doing live streams, she can efficiently and quickly answer questions from netizens, while also increasing the account's authority and driving traffic to her account.
Recently, modifications and integrations have been made.
Her account became increasingly specialized, and its monetization rate also increased.
During her live streams, she mostly uses her years of accumulated business and psychology knowledge to help viewers resolve issues related to emotions, relationships, and career setbacks.
