C176 Maple Villa

Suburb, Maple Villa.

Old Madam Gu sat calmly on the sofa, an expression of awe on her expressionless face. Her pale hair and the red jewels on her body projected her extraordinary experience and noble identity.

"B …." "Madam," Gao Wenhan said as he looked at the item on the table in front of him. It was the video that had gone viral on the internet today.

"For the sake of my grandson's wife, I've taken you back," the old lady said slowly. "I've also arranged for you to be pregnant here, but you actually ran out to discredit our Gu family."

"Madam, let me explain …" I really didn't do this. I just wanted Gu Lin to accompany me more, but … " Gao Wenhan tried his best to explain.

"Whether you did it or not doesn't matter anymore," the old lady said coldly, shaking her head. "In G City, there's nothing that our Gu family can't do, and it's the same for you."

"The most important thing for a person is to recognize their own position. Gao Wenhan, I did leave you behind, but I didn't say that the child in your womb belongs to our Gu family, let alone think of stepping into our Gu family's gate."

Grandma, "Gao Wenhan knelt in front of Old Lady Gu and explained in a teary voice," The child in my stomach really is Gu Lin. You are right, I should clearly recognize my own identity.

Old Lady Gu was very clear what Gao Wenhan was hinting at. Her goal was not to have children, but to have the status of the Gu family's eldest young mistress.

But it was impossible.

"Gao Wenhan, you carefully planned everything, and we both know what you want." The old lady removed her hand from her qipao, "From today onwards, you will not go out of your house, and rest in peace to nurture your baby. If this child really belongs to our Gu family, then you deserve it, and our Gu family will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"But …" As the old lady spoke up to this point, she glanced at the side door behind her before saying with a heavy tone, "The seat beside Gu Lin has already been filled. So, don't waste your time."

"What do you mean?" Gao Wenhan raised his head. "Are you trying to put me under house arrest?"

"You can also think the same way," the old lady intentionally remained unmoved. She slowly stood up from the sofa and looked at the furnishings in the villa, "I will satisfy your needs."

The old mistress had only taken two steps when Gao Wenhan's uncontrollable emotions flared up once again.

"I can't stay here. I have Gu Lin's child in my womb. Both I and the child need his company. He can't be with Ying Yue."

"You'd better stay here obediently," the madame stopped, her voice containing a slight chill, and hit Gao Wenhan's heart heavily. "Otherwise, no matter who begs for mercy, I'll send you away, and the child in your stomach will also be the same."

"You reaped what you sowed. Gu Lin didn't choose you, so regardless of whether you have children or not, you won't be the person in his heart."

"What you should know better is that Ying Yue is now my Gu family's daughter-in-law. If you hit her, even if you hit our family's face, even if you have a child in your stomach, I won't let you go."

Gao Wenhan could see through the ruthlessness of the Old Lady Gu. He knew very well that if he really violated her taboo, it would not be beneficial to him at all.

"I understand," Gao Wenhan obediently stood up from the carpet. "Old madam, please be at ease. I will stay here to rest my child."

The room was silent. The madame did not respond to Gao Wenhan's words. Instead, she spoke directly to the side door.

"Secretary Han, bring him in."

Ying Yue never thought that Old Lady Gu would actually summon her to the Maple Villa. What was even more unexpected was that the Secretary Han brought her to a small room the moment he got off the car.

Just as he sat down on the chair behind the door, the Old Lady Gu spoke out.

Although Ying Yue did not participate in all of this, she had clearly heard all of it.

Secretary Han opened the door. The moment Ying Yue came out, Gao Wenhan widened his eyes in surprise.

Old Lady Gu was clearly saying those words for Ying Yue to hear.

"Grandmother …" Ying Yue walked to her side and called out softly.

"Ying Yue," Old Lady Gu looked at her benevolently and said, "Did you hear what you just said?"

Ying Yue raised her eyes to look at Gao Wenhan, who stood there trembling with anger, but she still replied obediently.

"Yes, Grandmother."

"That's good," the Old Lady Gu held Ying Yue's hand, "Ying Yue, you need to know that your granny has put a lot of thought into this matter, and you need to know that you are our Gu family's young mistress. Your position, status, and even prestige, no one is allowed to trample on you, because you are our Gu family's legitimate granddaughter-in-law, do you understand?"

"I understand," Ying Yue nodded. She was extremely grateful to Old Lady Gu for everything he had done.

"Madame, this is not fair," Gao Wenhan couldn't suppress the anger that burned in his heart, "You treated her like a treasure with great care and concern, so why should I? I have Gu Lin's child in my stomach, and I'm also a member of the Gu family. Why would you treat me like a blade of grass?"

"Miss Gao, please pay attention to the way you speak," the Secretary Han said in a cold voice. "Furthermore, don't forget what you just said."

The Secretary Han quickly gave a warning, the dignity of the Old Lady Gu was not something that a small figure like her, who could not even show his face, could afford to offend.

"You want fairness?" The old lady raised her hand, indicating Secretary Han to step back, then held Ying Yue's hand and walked in front of the furious Gao Wenhan, "Then I must first give my grandson Ying Yue a fair fight, because your appearance is unfair."

"It was your appearance that disrupted the lives of Gu Lin and Ying Yue, and it even pushed our Gu family towards the heart of public opinion. And all of this was done for the sake of marrying into the Wealthy Class, so I ask Miss Gao, do you think I should seek justice for our Gu family and Ying Yue?"

"What's more..." The madame spat out a more severe sentence, "Regardless of whether this child's surname is Gu or not, I guarantee that as long as my old lady is here, you won't be able to become a member of the Gu family."

"Ying Yue, let's go back."

"Yes, Grandmother."

In this contest, Ying Yue was very clear about her role. She only needed to silently be an audience member, because the old lady invited her over to let her see this.

"Ying Yue, I won't lose just like that, definitely not." Gao Wenhan looked at Ying Yue who left with the madame. Sparks and hatred clouded his mind.

All of this, however, fell into another pair of eyes.
