Lu Yunxi leaned back on the sofa with her temper high, not taking the man in front of her seriously.
"Tell me! What did your godmother tell you to do? When can I go back?"
The man didn't say anything, but took out a filled-out check from his pocket and put it on the table.
"Madam told me to make sure to give this to Miss Lu."
Lu Yunxi took a quick glance, picked up the check and took a closer look, then couldn't help but laugh out loud: "One million! What does that mean?"
The man cast his eyes on Lu Yunxi's belly. "Madam has already chosen a place for Miss Lu to give birth. Tomorrow morning, I will take Miss Lu to the airport. When the child is born safely, you will receive a balance."
Lu Yunxi's face suddenly changed: "What does she mean? One million, is that a beggar? You should know clearly that this is not the result I want when I go to her. I want to see her!"
Her only support in the Gu family is Ji Yan. She doesn't want to help herself. Isn't she afraid that she will reveal her secret?
"Madam doesn't have time to see you. Miss Lu is all alone now. Only by following Madam's arrangements can you and the baby in your belly have a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, you may not even get one million."
Lu Yunxi clenched her fists. She never expected that she would be threatened again.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.
"Okay! I understand. Go back and tell her I'll follow her instructions. But one million isn't enough to support me and the child."
"Don't worry, Miss Lu. As long as you follow the instructions, money won't be a problem."
Lu Yunxi was upset and waved at the other party: "You can go back."
The man hesitated for a moment: "Madam means that I stay here until I personally send Miss Lu to the plane tomorrow."
Lu Yunxi sneered: "Who do you think you are? How dare you stay here with me overnight? I don't need you! You're affecting the mood of me and the child. Don't worry! I won't be so stupid as to leave my peaceful life and run away. I will not only take care of myself, but also take care of the child in my belly."
Her eyes were gloomy, as if she was calculating something.
The man thought about it, didn't take it seriously, said a few words and left.
Lu Yunxi held the check in her hand and sneered: "Since even you, my only relative, are unwilling to help me, then I have no choice but to find a way myself. One million! Aunt, you underestimate me too much. I, Lu Yunxi, am not that fool that my mother is."
The next morning, Lu Anning, who was still asleep, was awakened by a phone call and heard Zhong Ling's panicked voice.
"Boss Lu, something's happened. Lu Yunxi live-streamed herself jumping off the roof of our company, crying out that you're cruel and ruthless, wanting to kill her and her unborn child. This has already become a trending topic!"
"What!"
Lu Anning suddenly sat up from the bed, opened the message Zhong Ling sent her, and saw the link jump. Lu Yunxi's desperate and broken face suddenly appeared on the screen. The sound of wind continued, accompanied by her choked sobs.
"I'm at my wit's end! Carrying a child is already difficult, and I just wanted to give birth to it safely. But who knew that the child's aunt wouldn't tolerate us mother and child. To disgust me, she even asked an old woman in her fifties to seduce the child's father and instigate us, forcing him to force me to have an abortion. What did I do wrong?"
She stared at the live camera, a trace of despair flashing in her eyes.
"Lu Anning, I'll wait for you here for half an hour, and we'll talk. It's okay if you don't want to see me. If you don't show up after half an hour, I'll take my child and jump from here. From now on, you won't have to worry about anything. But I want you to remember for the rest of your life that you killed me and my child."
Countless comments flashed across the livestream, most of them speaking out in support of Lu Yunxi. Upon learning of Lu Anning's identity, they denounced the wealthy as cold-blooded and heartless, not taking life seriously at all.
Some people also tried to persuade Lu Yunxi to be more open-minded. In the new era, women are independent and can raise a child alone without relying on others. When the child has a promising future, she will give these people a good slap in the face.
Some people saw things more clearly and ridiculed others for being simple-minded. They said that the Gu family could not accommodate this child, so how could they allow her to raise the child?
If she really wasn't given a way to survive, she wouldn't even have the chance to broadcast live here.
Someone recognized Lu Yunxi's identity. She was the adopted daughter of the Gu family who was previously exposed to have an ambiguous relationship with the national medical master Gu Yu. She was full of vigor and vitality at the time, but she would never have fallen into this state now.
Rich families are always surrounded by gossip, and who knows what the truth is. In just a few minutes, more and more people started to talk about it, and there were many different opinions.
Lu Anning stared at the phone screen, his face livid.
Lu Yunxi really wants to make a big deal out of this!
There was no time to dwell on this; this time, she couldn't avoid it. Although she knew Lu Yunxi wouldn't be serious, she was still worried. If something did happen to her, the blame would definitely be directed at her, and Haitian Pharmaceuticals would be affected, and perhaps even her upcoming collaborative project with Professor An.
Seeing her flustered, Tang Jingyuan immediately grabbed her and said, "Calm down!"
"I can't calm down. Lu Yunxi is coming for me."
"So, she will definitely not let anything happen to herself. She just wants to make things worse. Go wash up and change your clothes first. I'll go with you later."
Lu Anning nodded. At this moment, she hadn't considered showing off. After all, two lives were at stake, and with Tang Jingyuan around, she felt more at ease.
