Gu Qingyao was quiet for a long time, when she saw the piece of paper in Nian Wanru's hand, an envelope was placed beside her.

Nian Wanru's hands were trembling as she asked in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Yao, you know about it too, right?"

Gu Qingyao looked at Nian Wanru's red and swollen eyes, and sighed lightly. She pulled Nian Wanru's hand, and sat her down on the sofa, then said: "Mother, Ling Xiaoman is indeed pregnant, but I have only confirmed this point now, there are no confirmation on anything else, so mother should not think too much about it."

"Where's Ling Yiyi?" Nian Wanru suddenly asked.

Gu Qingyao bit her lower lip.

"Is Ling Yiyi's DNA identification true?" Nian Wanru suddenly asked.

Gu Qingyao was quiet for a moment, then nodded her head.

Nian Wanru's face immediately became pale white.

After a long while, she finally opened her mouth with a pale face, "I should have known this a long time ago …"

Gu Qingyao quietly held onto Nian Wanru's hand tightly. Not knowing why, an indescribable fear filled her entire body.

Something was wrong.

Everything had changed.

Everything that had happened in his previous life had never been exposed. It was only when she was about to die that Nian Wanru shouted those words outside the door that she would be unable to forget even after going through a hundred cycles and a thousand cycles —

"Do not trust anyone."

When exactly did Nian Wanru learn of all this?

"Xiao Yao, what your mother never thought of was that you already know everything." Nian Wanru said hoarsely, her face still had a smile on, but that smile was already so ugly that it looked like she was about to cry.

She tightly gripped the piece of paper in her hand, as if she was trying to use all of her strength.

"Mom doesn't want you to know that the family has become like this. Mom is useless." Nian Wanru's hands seemed to be trembling: "You're still young, even if it's for you, Mom doesn't want to be like this with your father."

Gu Qingyao could barely hide the surprise at the bottom of her heart. She looked at Nian Wanru and asked softly: "Is mother doing it for me?"

"You can only be happy if you have a complete family, a family that allows you to grow up in love. Mom doesn't want you to suffer so much for her …" Nian Wanru's tears silently fell.

Gu Qingyao was silent for a long while, before she finally said in a low voice: "I don't need it."

Nian Wanru looked up in shock.

"I don't need any of this if Mom thinks we'll be happier apart." Gu Qingyao said seriously, she thought for a while, then asked: "But when did mother start to feel that something is amiss with father?"

"Women all have a sixth sense. In fact, ever since your father started using the excuse of not coming home, I had a vague feeling that something was amiss. When you grew up, your father's thoughts were no longer on us." Nian Wanru laughed bitterly.

"But Mom is still wholeheartedly supporting this family." Gu Qingyao's tone was clearly filled with unwillingness.

Nian Wanru was slightly startled, then said softly, "Xiao Yao, there is something Xiao Yao might not know about yet."

"Eh?"

"I don't have much shares in the Gu's right now, and also …" Nian Wanru hesitated for a moment, before continuing: "Previously, your father held a lot of shares in the Nian Family, and is now a major shareholder in the Nian Family."

Gu Qingyao looked at Nian Wanru in disbelief.

"How could this be?"

"You can't blame me for this," Nian Wanru said with reddened eyes. "At that time, your father said that she was good and obedient.

Gu Qingyao felt a splitting headache.

She had originally thought that the decline of the Nian Family was mainly due to her helping the Gu's out during the financial crisis, which was why she completely emptied her funds. But now it seemed that everything was within Gu Yanzhi's control.

Nian Wanru carefully looked at Gu Qingyao's expression, and then asked: "Xiao Yao, if I were to get divorced now, I will definitely be unwilling, if the property cannot be divided, and your father does not recognize you anymore, then we will truly have nothing left."

"I understand." Gu Qingyao nodded in agreement, but she was also calculating in her heart.

Divorce was required to divide property, which was indeed supported by the law. However, in general, there was a need for evidence, either direct evidence of treachery or evidence of covert transfer of property. Even if this evidence was obtained, it would be even more difficult to directly demand that the other party leave the family.

As for Gu Yanzhi...

Gu Qingyao understood it too well, it was impossible for Gu Yanzhi to easily return the shares due to the pressure of morals and public opinion, furthermore, before everything was clear to him, Gu Qingyao was actually a little worried, if she went ahead and tore off all decorum, who knew what would happen?

The mysterious person on the other side of the phone, as well as Gu Yanzhi's sudden change in tone, and even Ling Xiaoman's arrogant attitude, left Gu Qingyao no choice but to pay attention.

She looked at Nian Wanru and said with certainty: "Mother, I understand what you mean now, Mother, do not worry, I am far stronger than what mother has imagined," Gu Qingyao paused for a moment, then said seriously: "I thought for a bit, at least for now, I hope that mother can act as if she did not see all of this, I will slowly get what we deserve back."

Nian Wanru's heartbeat sped up as she carefully held onto Gu Qingyao's hand. "Can you really do it?"

"This is the only way now." Gu Qingyao laughed, her tone gentle: "Don't worry mother, what belongs to us, will not be missing a single point."

"... "Alright." Nian Wanru took a deep breath, tightly held Gu Qingyao's hand and said in a deep voice, "If there's anything mother can do, tell her. In the future … I can't be like your father and share the same thoughts as before. "

"I understand." Gu Qingyao replied softly.

That night, Gu Qingyao sat in front of her computer and opened her foreign exchange account.

It was a thousand-fold lever, and this time, he had earned a huge sum of money.

Because the amount of money held wasn't too high, Gu Qingyao knew that she wasn't noticed by too many people. Even if there were people who realized that she had invested this amount of money, they would only think it was a fluke.

This is for the best.

She needed the money so badly.

Since Nian Wanru's attitude now was so clear, then … The battle with Gu Yanzhi was just around the corner.

Gu Qingyao lowered her eyes slightly, revealing an indescribably complex expression.

If she could, if she had even the slightest path of retreat, she would never have thought of going against Gu Yanzhi.

She remembered too many things. She remembered that when Gu Yanzhi was young, he raised her up high in his adoration, teaching her how to write with a brush.

Unknowingly, tears were streaming down his face.

When the phone rang, Gu Qingyao was startled, and immediately coughed to hide her emotions.
