Chapter 121 We'll Protect You Together
As he hit him, Old Master Gu roared, panting heavily, "That's exactly what I'm doing! How dare you lay a finger on my precious great-grandson! I'll beat you to death!"
Yang Jia clutched her head and wailed on the ground, "Dad! Dad! I didn't mean to!"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Gu's blood pressure nearly skyrocketed. "Still trying to deny it! It's either intentional or not! Zhenzhen and Ashu just got home and they're already causing trouble. Are you trying to drive me crazy?!"
Yang Jia's pleading grew softer and softer. Fearing that the old man might cause a fatal incident, Gu Yushu stepped forward and symbolically pulled the old man aside, saying softly, "Grandpa, calm down, let's go inside."
Grandpa Gu, still not satisfied, swung the stick twice more and cursed fiercely, "Get out! All three of you get back home! Don't cause me any more trouble here. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Dream on!"
Shen Zhen pushed open the door and glanced at Yang Jia on the floor, inwardly scoffing. How dare she be so self-righteous? She almost killed Yu Shu back then, and now she's acting crazy again—truly hopeless! Actually, the projects and funds that Grandpa and Yu Shu gave Gu Ming were more than enough for their family of three to live comfortably. It's just that some people are never satisfied and always want to trample Yu Shu underfoot!
Shen Zhen helped the old man up, smiled contemptuously at Yang Jia, and turned to say softly, "Grandpa, don't upset yourself. Let's go inside."
Grandpa Gu's beard twitched, and his eyes narrowed with a smile. "My precious Zhenzhen is so caring, unlike some people who just want to annoy me. Come on, let's go back together. Be careful."
Yang Jia lay on the ground, bruised and swollen, her eyes bloodshot, her hands clenched into fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, yet she felt nothing.
Yang Jia's face was filled with resentment. She had wasted her best years in the Gu family, bearing children for Gu Ming, and in the end? Her Hanhan got nothing. Old Master Gu always favored Gu Yushu. Now they were going to have a child too, what would happen to her Hanhan? Why? Why did it have to be like this? It was all because Gu Ming was useless! He won the old man's favor! She hated it so much!
Gu Yushu ignored Yang Jia and helped Shen Zhen and the old man into the house.
As soon as the three entered the house, Shen Zhen was taken aback by the sight of the living room filled with all sorts of things. Was this... a baby store brought into the house?
Baby cribs, strollers, car seats, formula, toys, clothes... baby and maternity supplies filled the living room to the brim, leaving no room to even step.
Grandpa Gu, beaming with pride, shoved a red booklet into Chen Zhen's hand and laughed, "Zhenzhen, this is the manor in the south of the city. Don't look down on it. This is a reward from your grandfather for your hard work. Giving birth is indeed not easy. You must keep a good mood. If there's anything you want, just tell your grandfather. If Ashu makes you unhappy, you can do whatever you want!"
The old man then took two more steps into the living room, pointed to the things on the carpet, and laughed loudly, saying, "These are all things I prepared for my great-granddaughter! You two make a list for Grandpa, and Grandpa will take care of everything!"
Shen Zhen didn't dare to take it and looked helplessly at Yu Shu. Seeing her like this, the old man directly stuffed the property certificate into her hand and said in a gruff voice, "Take it, take it. It's Grandpa's token of appreciation. I'll get angry if you don't take it."
Gu Yushu rubbed his temples, took Shen Zhen's hand, and smiled helplessly at Grandpa Gu, "Grandpa, thank you. It's so late, and Zhenzhen must be tired. Let's all go and rest."
Grandpa Gu chuckled and nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right, we can't let Zhenzhen get tired." He turned to the kitchen and called out, "Zhang Ma! Bring over the tonic so Zhenzhen can drink it and go to sleep."
Aunt Zhang walked over with a smile, carrying a small blue and white porcelain jar. "Here you are, Miss Shen. This is a prescription specially prepared by a famous doctor that the master found. It's very good."
Shen Zhen could only take the jar. As soon as she opened it, a strange smell assaulted her nostrils. Shen Zhen frowned almost imperceptibly, while Old Master Gu looked at her expectantly with shining eyes. Shen Zhen could only grit her teeth, pick up a spoon, and take a bite. She swallowed it with difficulty, the sticky texture sliding down her throat.
"Ugh~"
Shen Zhen couldn't hold it in any longer and covered her mouth before running to the toilet; the smell was just too awful!
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Zhenzhen!"
Grandpa Gu followed for a few steps, and seeing Shen Zhen vomiting incessantly in the toilet, his heart clenched. His eyebrows furrowed, and he quietly pulled Yu Shu aside, who was about to go over. He sighed and said earnestly, "Yu Shu, this medicinal diet is very good for both the fetus and the mother. Perhaps I didn't cook it well this afternoon. You should learn how to cook it. From now on, the task of cooking this medicinal diet will be entrusted to you."
Gu Yushu's brow twitched, and she grasped the key point, pointing to the dark, indistinct mass, "Grandpa, are you saying this is what you cooked?"
Grandpa Gu blushed and stammered, "Oh dear, I didn't mean to... I just wanted to make it more sincere! I'm also a student of traditional Chinese medicine, so the nutrition is definitely sufficient!"
Gu Yushu rubbed his temples and sighed, "Grandpa, you should go upstairs and rest first. I'll go check on Zhenzhen."
Gu Yushu rushed into the bathroom, patting Shen Zhen's back. Seeing her pale face from vomiting, her eyes filled with heartache. Shen Zhen had already endured so much hardship to conceive this child. Every time Gu Yushu wanted to give up that year, it was Shen Zhen who insisted on persevering. Gu Yushu thought that after this child was born, she would never have a second! She shouldn't have listened to the old man's nonsense about having another child! Her Zhenzhen was her baby!
Gu Yushu helped Shen Zhen lie down on the bed, poured her a glass of water and fed it to her lips, saying with a hint of apology, "Zhenzhen, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Shen Zhen's lips turned pale as she rubbed Gu Yushu's head. "Ashu, don't say that. I'm so glad we have Yuanyuan."
Gu Yushu leaned against Shen Zhen's leg, playing with her fingers. "When the little one comes out, I'm going to tell her how hard her mother went through! We'll protect her together!"
Shen Zhen's eyes sparkled with a bright light, and a joyful smile radiated from the corners of her eyes and between her brows. With a slight upturn of her lips, she said in a relaxed tone, "Okay! What if Yuan Yuan has a soft heart?"
Gu Yushu raised his head, his nose close to Shen Zhen's, and murmured, "Then I will protect the two of you. No one is allowed to covet our baby. No matter who it is, they must get past us first."
Shen Zhen gently tapped Gu Yushu's forehead with her finger and said coquettishly, "Yuanyuan hasn't even come out yet, and you're already thinking about these things!"
Gu Yushu gently touched Shen Zhen's slightly protruding belly, "Yuanyuan, you have to be a good girl, Mommy loves you!"
