When Yu Sheng came downstairs like a startled bird, Gu was sitting on the sofa playing games.
He heard footsteps coming downstairs, looked up, and saw Yu Sheng. He quickly got up to greet her and, seeing her somewhat flustered expression, asked, "What's wrong?"
“No, let’s go,” Yu Sheng said.
"Should I go and say hello to Mom and Uncle Shang?"
Yu Sheng shook her head, said "No need," and picked up her coat to walk outside.
As soon as she stepped outside, a sharp, cold wind swept by, gradually calming Yu Sheng's restless thoughts and emotions.
On the way home, Gu Ye drove her home. She seemed to be looking out the window, but she had no idea what she was looking at, because her mind was full of thoughts about Shang Yan.
At first, I thought about how he was abused when he was a child, then I thought about how Li Susu threatened and forced him into marriage, and then I thought about the white moonlight that he was willing to sacrifice his own happiness to protect!
She really, really wanted to know what kind of woman she was that could make the proud Prince Shang make such a sacrifice for her.
She simply couldn't imagine it!
But she genuinely envied her, and even felt a little jealous!
Although she didn't want to admit it, she was indeed a little jealous...
She severed her feelings for Shang Yan when she mistakenly believed that Shang Yan and Gu were the same kind of people.
But when she learned that he was different from Gu Ye, the emotions she had severed were reconnected one by one, disturbing her peace of mind!
But she knew that it was impossible for them to be together. If he knew that she had such feelings for him, he would probably be terrified!
so--
She won't let him know!
Never!
But she genuinely didn't want him to marry Li Susu!
The reason he was being blackmailed by Li Susu was because Li Susu knew who his "white moonlight" was, and if he didn't agree, Li Susu would reveal her name.
Is there any way to avoid being blackmailed by Li Susu?
Hey, I've got it!
Counter-coercion!
If Shang Yan has something on Li Susu or her family, wouldn't he be able to blackmail Li Susu?
Yu Sheng couldn't wait to tell Shang Yan about this brilliant idea she had come up with.
But at the moment of pressing the send button, I hesitated.
If she could come up with a way to counter the blackmail, how could Shang Yan, who is so smart, not be able to?
I'm sure I can figure it out!
Yu Sheng pursed her lips and deleted the words she had typed one by one.
Time flew by as they wandered through their thoughts, and before Yu Sheng could react, they were home.
However, what she didn't expect was—
Zhou Yanyun and Gu Jin showed up uninvited!
When she and Gu Ye entered the house, the two of them were sitting on her sofa discussing buying New Year's outfits. Upon seeing them return, they immediately adopted a haughty attitude.
The sudden arrival of these two people left Gu Ye quite bewildered. "Mom, Sister, what brings you here?"
Gu Jin fiddled with her newly done manicure and scoffed, "I came by car."
"..."
Gu Ye glared at Gu Jin and then said, "Why didn't you even tell me you were coming?"
Zhou Yanyun glared at him: "What kind of greeting do I need to give when I come to my son's house?"
Gu was rendered speechless by his own sister and mother's rebukes, and glanced at Yu Sheng.
Although Yu Sheng didn't show it on her face, it was clear that she was unhappy about the arrival of these two.
Gu couldn't argue back with his own mother, but he also couldn't indulge her, so he said, "Since you've personally greeted us, Sheng Sheng and I will wait for you at home so you don't have to wait for us, which is against the rules."
Zhou Yanyun said sarcastically, "You dare to talk to me about rules? If you knew the rules, shouldn't you have taken Yu Sheng back to the Gu family to meet the old lady as soon as she succeeded in her IVF?"
Gu didn't tell Zhou Yanyun about Yu Sheng's pregnancy, so it could only have been Gu Jin who told her.
When he looked at Gu Jin, Gu Jin's expression confirmed his guess.
She's also undergoing IVF treatment; she must have inquired about Yu Sheng's situation with Dr. Wang.
So Gu lied and said, "I was originally going to take Sheng Sheng back to the Gu family home, but we were halfway there when my father-in-law called us back to discuss Shang Yan and Li Susu's upcoming marriage."
The news of the upcoming wedding between the Shang and Li families was common knowledge in high society, and Zhou Yanyun knew it too. Seeing that they hadn't returned to the Gu family because of that matter, she didn't know what to say for a moment, and glanced at the Chinese medicine on the table, saying:
"This is the medicine I just got for you from Dr. Zhong to help prevent miscarriage. Take it once in the morning and once in the evening."
Although Yu Sheng was very annoyed by Zhou Yanyun and her mother's uninvited arrival, she still managed to say, "Thank you, Mom!"
She had just finished speaking when she heard Aunt Duan call out, "Miss Yueyue, slow down."
Yu Sheng looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yueyue running towards them, with Aunt Duan following behind.
No wonder she didn't see Aunt Duan when she came in; she had taken Yueyue to the restroom.
Because of the homecoming banquet, Yueyue was still wary of Yusheng. She was originally jumping around, but the moment she met Yusheng's gaze, she immediately cowered and looked at him with some fear. However, after hearing Gu Ye call her name, she immediately rushed excitedly into his arms, hugging his neck and calling out "Uncle, Uncle"...
While Gu Ye was talking to Yueyue, Gu Jin said, "Your brother-in-law and I are going on a business trip abroad, and we plan to leave Yueyue with you for a while."
Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng's eyes widened immediately.
Does she mean to leave Yueyue at their house for a while?
Is she joking?
As Yu Sheng was thinking this, Gu also looked at her.
Although she didn't say anything, her face clearly said: I disagree!
Upon seeing those four words, Gu Ye immediately said, "Sheng Sheng is newly pregnant and needs to rest. It's not appropriate for her to stay with me. Let's leave her with Mom."
