“Grandma,” Yun Nan guiltily said, “I’m afraid I’m bringing trouble along with me.”
Chen Yao unconcernedly replied, “It’s fine. Having lived to such an old age, Grandma has seen all sorts of trouble, so go ahead. Tell me what you’ve gotten yourself into this time.”
Yun Nan glanced at Du Juan—who stared back at her in the car—and relayed the whole thing to Chen Yao. Then, Yun Nan silentlv drove while Du Juan told
her how Gu Fei’s sisters had tricked and locked her up in a villa for several months.
“It’s all my fault. I thought I could marry into wealth with this child. Who knew that rich people could be so cruel? They actually wanted to take the child and kill the mother,” Du Juan uttered, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Yun Nan suddenly asked, “How did you meet Gu Fei?”
Du Juan was momentarily stunned before she turned her gaze to the outside of the car. “I worked as a waitress at the restaurant Gu Fei often visits with his friends, and we got to know each other after a while. He treats me quite well, buying me clothes, taking me to luxury hotels, and giving me pocket money that’s even higher than my salary. I thought—I thought I’d met Mr. Right; I thought I was the one he liked the most.”
Her voice gradually trailed off. Yun Nan sighed, “So, you went to look for Shi
Xiu after you found out about the betrothal between Gu Fei and Shi Xiu?”
“Yeah. I love Gu Fei too much. I can’t live without him. Without him, my life will return to how it was before, but it’s different for Miss Shi. She’s rich to begin with, so she can live without Gu Fei,” Du Juan answered.
“How did you know Gu Fei and Shi Xiu might become lovers?” Yun Nan asked.
Du Juan didn’t speak.
“Actually, the two of them aren’t in a relationship, then or now,” Yun Nan said. “It’s just that their families’ elders had intended for them to marry. However,
Shi Xiu and Gu Fei don’t have any feelings for each other, so they aren’t lovers.”
Du Juan was shocked. “Really?”
Yun Nan nodded. “It’s true! Shi Xiu is the youngest child in the family. She has yet to graduate from university and is currently obsessed with acting; she’s high on ambition right now and has no intention of dating, and her family won’t rush her to get married. Her two older brothers, as well as her father and grandfather, are all extremely outstanding, to the point that Gu Fei can’t even compare to them. What makes you think she’ll take a fancy to Gu Fei?”
Du Juan’s eyes lit up. Yun Nan patiently led and guided the conversation, and stated, “That’s why I think you might have been misled by someone, causing you to mess up the fan meeting. Not only did you offend the Shi family, but you also gave the Gu family a reason to despise you even more. Gu Fei hasn’t spoken to you again after that, has he?”
Du Juan lowered her head. “His sisters told me at the beginning that I could live comfortably as long as I quietly gave birth to the child. Gu Fei can’t marry me, but he can come and visit me and our child often. They said marriage is just a piece of paper, and I don’t have the capability to be Mrs. Gu anyway, so I might as well just quietly raise the child for the Gu family and be handsomely rewarded.”
Yun Nan didn’t say anything. “I believed them,” Du Juan continued. “It was the best option for me.”
She fell silent for a moment before wailing, “But they all turned out to be liars. They lied to me! They just want me to give birth to this child. The Gu family lacks boys; they’ll have an heir if I give birth to a son. However, the child can’t have a mother like me, so I have to die!”
Du Juan covered her face and wept. Yun Nan inwardly sighed, ‘I’ll have to tell Annie and Meida about this later. Regardless of whether ifs true or not, its such good script material! Art is inspired by life, indeed.’
It wasn’t until they reached the main entrance of the Gu family’s house that Du Juan looked at the magnificent villa and apprehensively asked, “W—Where is this place? Where are you sending me?”
Yun Nan scoffed, “Didn’t you say that I’m not a bad person? You didn’t ask where I was sending you all the way here, but you’re afraid now that we’ve reached our destination? Alright, fine. Why don’t you give me an address, and I’ll send you there instead?”
Du Juan hurriedly smiled. “No, I didn’t mean it that way. I—I’m just a little on edge. I trust you. You’re a good person; you surely won’t harm me!”
Yun Nan laughed. “Oh, I don’t know about that! Maybe you’ll regret asking me for help!” Du Juan had already gotten out of the car and didn’t hear Yun Nan’s words.
Yun Nan chuckled and put her arms around Chen Yao’s neck. “Grandma, dear, who else can I turn to when I’m in trouble if not you?”
This sentence was sweeter than honey to Chen Yao, and she immediately beamed.. “Good, and don’t you forget it!”
