Because of Gu Zhiwei's warning last time, Ji Yan has been particularly quiet recently. She usually accompanies Lu Yunxi to take care of the pregnancy. At most, she meets her wealthy friends and keeps Lu Yunxi by her side at all times, for fear that something might happen to the baby in her belly.
As her birthday was approaching, her wealthy friends began to ask about her birthday party.
"You found a daughter this year, and now you have a future daughter-in-law and a grandson in your belly. Shouldn't you celebrate it in a big way?"
"That's right! That's right! You're so lucky. Your only youngest daughter married Mr. Tang San. The Tang family is so rich, and any item in Mr. Tang Er's antique shop is worth a fortune. My dear sister, you are so blessed. We are so envious."
Ji Yan was praised so much that she looked like a peacock with its tail spread out, completely forgetting her current relationship with Lu An Ning.
"After all, she's my daughter. No matter how capable she is, she still has to call me 'Mom' and give me all these goodies. Oh! I'm tired of seeing it. It's just my birthday, and the kids insisted on having it for me, so I just let them do it."
The others echoed and just tried to make Ji Yan happy.
Seeing that the time was almost up, they all asked, "Don't forget to invite us to your birthday party, dear sister. We've even prepared birthday presents."
Ji Yan just thought she was welcome and agreed to all the requests.
"Tomorrow, I will definitely deliver the invitation to everyone. Please remember to come then."
Several women were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was so lively that Ji Yan completely forgot that Lu Yunxi was sitting next to them. She looked at these women laughing and chatting, and her eyes were full of gloom.
After the afternoon tea was over, she accompanied Ji Yan out of the beauty salon.
As soon as I got in the car, Lu Yunxi's sarcastic laughter came to my ears.
"You agreed so early, you seem to have forgotten that Lu Anning doesn't even consider you her biological mother. By then, it's unknown whether you will go to the birthday party. Are you still expecting her to prepare a valuable birthday gift for you to make you proud?"
Lu Yunxi curled her lips: "It's good that she didn't embarrass you in public."
Ji Yan's hard-earned good mood disappeared in an instant. Her face turned cold and she shook off Lu Yunxi's hand.
"You don't need to remind me."
"I'm just afraid that you'll get carried away and end up being embarrassed."
Ji Yan's face darkened. "Can't you say something nice? I'm hosting a birthday party. After all, she's my daughter. To save face, she has to act like this. How bad can it be?"
Lu Yunxi snorted coldly: "Are you sure she will come?"
How could she know that Gu Yu had already discussed this with Ji Yan.
She straightened her back. "She even prepared a gift and said she wanted to give me a surprise. How could she not come? You're still too naive. No matter how much you resist, you'll still have to bow to me in the end."
"I advise you not to be too happy too soon."
Based on her understanding of Lu Anning, she would not give in easily.
Ji Yan was unhappy: "You just can't stand seeing me do well? If I'm not well, you can forget about gaining a foothold in the Gu family. Don't forget, we've been in the same boat for a long time."
"Otherwise, why do you think I should remind you? Since you are so confident, just pretend I didn't say anything."
She hummed softly, leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes to rest, her palm gently stroking her slightly bulging belly.
Once she safely gives birth to the child and becomes Gu Yu's legitimate wife, she won't have to worry about Ji Yan's mood anymore.
Seeing her like this, Ji Yan couldn't bear it anymore and smiled sarcastically.
"You're so capable, why haven't you gotten my son yet? It's been so long, and I think Ayu is still lukewarm towards you. You don't have much time either. If you can't capture his heart before the birth, then I won't be able to help you."
Ji Yan's words hit Lu Yunxi's lungs hard. She suddenly opened her eyes and glared at Ji Yan. She only managed to hold back her anger because the driver was present.
"Don't worry about it, I'll remember it."
"That's great. As long as you're obedient, I'll naturally find a way to bring you two together. Your baby is over four months old. The fetus is stable, so some things are not so taboo. This man is easier to conquer in bed. These few months of pregnancy are the most special time for a woman."
Lu Yunxi was shocked: "You mean... But he won't come back at all. Even if he comes back, he will stay away from me. I don't have any chance at all. Besides, I'm afraid of hurting the child."
"Now that you've won over the second child, are you still worried about not having children?"
Lu Yunxi was silent. She knew this was true. However, she had previously had a miscarriage for Pei Chengyi, and her health was not very good. This time, the doctor repeatedly reminded her to take good care of the baby, as a miscarriage would make it difficult for her to get pregnant again.
However, she thought again. If she could really capture Gu Yu's heart, it wouldn't matter if she couldn't have children. Wasn't Ji Yan also unable to have children? Over the years, she had remained firmly in the position of the mistress of the Gu family, and no one could shake her position.
Thinking of this, she changed her expression and walked over to him, holding Ji Yan's arm.
"Mom, you've been through this before, so you know more than me. You can't bear to see your baby not being loved by his father, right? How about you teach me?"
Ji Yan is a soft-hearted person, and seeing Lu Yunxi give in, she did not continue to make things difficult for her.
"Humph! As long as you understand. I'll teach you, and you just study hard. Not only will you marry into the Gu family, but in the future, my position can also be yours."
Lu Yunxi's eyes sparkled and she nodded repeatedly. Of course, she entered the Gu family not just to become their daughter-in-law.
Only by staying firmly in Ji Yan's position can she become a true leader.
