The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Chapter 226 Xie Yao's Family Background

"No, they almost killed you, and my son almost died too. It's just that kicking them out of the Gu family is too lenient on them. Besides, repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge is what my woman should be like!" After saying that, he quickly kissed Yun Shu on the cheek.

“Look at the address above, it’s near the Gu family’s place. Gu Cheng is really bold. He hasn’t been discovered by Li Meng for several years. But I saw that woman yesterday. She seemed to be very cautious in her actions. She’s in her early thirties, which is twenty years younger than Gu Cheng. I can’t understand why she would be with him.”

"Simple, it's all about money and power. I guess the woman's family isn't well-off, otherwise, at her age, Gu Cheng wouldn't divorce his wife to marry her. She's probably after his money, and maybe Gu Cheng will help her family."

"Hmm! Almost. Have Hua Zi help me find out about this woman as soon as possible and send it to me. I think we should go and make an appointment with her in the next couple of days. Right now, the Gu family is in a mess, so starting with Gu Cheng is the most direct approach." It couldn't be more appropriate for Yun Shu to have Gu Cheng, the head of the family, kick out those three women.

"Men are most susceptible to whispering in someone's ear, and with Xie Yao pregnant, he'll definitely side with her, especially if she's carrying a boy."

"Even if it's a girl, I'll find a way to make Chao say it's a boy. I need to get rid of Li Meng and her family before the baby is born," Yun Shu decided. She couldn't let Li Meng and her two daughters continue their comfortable life in a wealthy family. It was too easy for them. She came back to take revenge on them.

“Yun Shu, if the Gu family has another child, then the property will have to be redistributed.”

"Originally, I didn't want it, but now I want half of the Gu family's assets. As for Xie Yao's future children, whether boys or girls, they can inherit half of the Gu family's assets. As for Yun Huan and Yun Le, they won't get a single penny." They've already enjoyed a comfortable life provided by the Gu family for over twenty years, and now they won't have a share of the Gu family's assets. Furthermore, she'll use half of the Gu family's assets to cooperate with Xie Yao.

“Hmm! Okay, although the Gu family’s money is disgusting, even if we donate it, it’s still better than giving it to those two sisters.” Mingkun also thought it was a good idea.

“That’s what I think, Mingkun. You’re so kind to help me.”

"Silly girl! Who else would I help if not you? We're husband and wife. If you're really grateful, how about this: I'll take Beibei home to meet my parents this week. If you don't want to meet them, that's fine. But would you like to go see your grandpa?"

“It’s necessary to see your father. As for your parents, to be honest, I have a grudge against them because your mother pressured us like that. I don’t want to see them, but Beibei is your son. If you want to bring him to see them, I won’t stop you.” Yun Shu spoke her mind. She didn’t want to have any disagreements with Mingkun because of his family.

"Are you angry? Hey! I'm doing this for our sake. If I don't bring Beibei back, they'll always think I'm lying to them to avoid getting married. Once they see Beibei, they'll know I'm not lying. Besides, my parents feel very guilty towards you. We can meet again later... whenever you want to forgive them and see them. I respect your decision on this matter and won't force you."

"Thank you……"

Yun Shu isn't stubborn, but Liu Yufen and Manyun's previous antics almost caused her and Mingkun to separate. Now, probably because she gave birth to Beibei and Manyun's divination was exposed, she reluctantly accepted her. It would be awkward for both of them to see her, and the old lady's health isn't good either. She'll think about it later and not want to see her for now.

"Go wash up. I'll call Hua Zi and ask him to investigate Xie Yao's matter as soon as possible. It should be quick if she's alone. I'll have him send it over tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

……

After washing up, Yun Shu went inside to check on Bei Bei. The little guy was sleeping soundly. It was May, and the nights were a bit warm. He had kicked off the blanket a little, so Yun Shu pulled it back up for him and gently kissed his adorable sleeping face. Then, reluctantly, she came out and saw Ming Kun beckoning her over. Ming Kun was looking at something on his laptop.

"What happened?" Yun Shu sat down next to him, puzzled, thinking something had occurred.

Mingkun moved the computer in front of her and said, "Look!"

Yun Shu saw that the computer contained Xie Yao's information. She was surprised that Hua Zi could find it so quickly, in just one hour. He truly was a computer expert. So she immediately began to look at it carefully.

It turns out that Xie Yao's family wasn't well-off. They owned an old house in the outskirts of the city, and had a younger brother who was a hoodlum and used to loiter around, occasionally doing petty theft. Her parents had been laid off and now ran a small supermarket near the entrance of the neighborhood, barely making ends meet. Xie Yao had been married before, but divorced after only two years, and then went to work.

It wasn't until she met Gu Cheng at a restaurant that she realized she looked a lot like Xu Yanxia. He then began to take her as his mistress, buying her an apartment a few blocks from his home. Before she knew it, Xie Yao was thirty-two, not young for a woman. Gu Cheng helped her younger brother find a respectable job, encouraging him to be a good person. He also helped her parents secure retirement pension subsidies, ensuring the two elderly people could support themselves.

Gu Cheng helped the Xie family a lot, and Xie Yao followed Gu Cheng wholeheartedly from then on, not caring about status or position, and five years passed in a flash, carefully avoiding being discovered by the Gu family.

Gu Cheng didn't visit Xie Yao's house very often, at most once a week, and this had been the case for several years. Therefore, Li Meng didn't realize her partner had changed his mind. Besides, Gu Cheng hadn't acted strangely at home; he'd been the same for over twenty years. Sometimes Li Meng felt he had changed, but she just thought he was getting old and tired of her, so she didn't mind him sleeping in the study often. At his age, she couldn't believe he would have an extramarital affair. Plus, given his status, he would surely be more cautious and wouldn't do anything reckless that would tarnish his reputation in his later years.

She stayed with him for a week recently, which is unusual, so that's probably why Xie Yao got pregnant. However, with all the recent troubles in the Gu family, Xie Yao probably hasn't told Gu Cheng about her pregnancy yet.

She was a mistress, and the child she bore would be illegitimate. Therefore, she hesitated about whether to tell Gu Cheng. Besides, if she didn't have the child, it would be easy for Gu Cheng to leave her one day, or for her to leave if she wanted to. So when Yun Shu told her she was pregnant, she was completely bewildered, struggling with whether to keep the child or not.

She was only in her early thirties, while Gu Cheng was a married man in his early fifties. With him... who knew what the future would hold?

Yun Shu thought that if she were to become the mistress of the Gu family, this position would probably be attractive to her.

Although the Gu family isn't particularly successful in this generation, their previous generations were all in business and were quite famous in Nancheng, possessing a vast amount of wealth. However, the Gu family is low-key, and in terms of wealth, they wouldn't lose to the Sheng family, which is why the Sheng family is wary of them.
