Chapter 252 Truly Knowing You

"Dr. Gu, my mother's efforts were in vain, and my father has refused to help us this time! That's why I came to you, Dr. Gu. Even if my second sister is at fault, could you please not let her go to jail? We'll make it up to you and Tan Xiaoqiu in another way!"

"Other ways? Aren't you being too naive? Murder, harming others? If there are other ways to avoid jail time, then what's the point of a country building prisons? To feed mosquitoes! Gu Yunle, aren't you being too naive! I don't want to waste any more time talking to you and ruining my lunch break. As for Gu Yunhuan, let the law decide what sentence to give her. By the way, Ah Zhong, the eyewitness from back then, who is also Gu Cheng's bodyguard, has already gone to the police station to give his testimony. Four years ago, it was Gu Yunhuan who pushed me into the sea, and you—Gu Yunle, you led me to the beach!"

“Dr. Gu, I wanted to talk to you and didn’t want anyone to overhear me… Besides, it wasn’t me who pushed you. I tried to pull you both back, but how could I possibly hold both of you back by myself? What crime could I have committed!”

"Is that so, Gu Yunle? I only truly know you today. Do you know that in the Gu family, who is most like Gu Cheng? It's you! You are cunning, treacherous, selfish, and used Yun Huan to harm me. Shouldn't you be the one locked up there right now? Don't you know how pathetic your life is?"

"Hahaha... Yes! I am selfish, because you all ignore me. I don't want to be dispensable in the Gu family. I also want to be a smart and capable woman like you, so that Huainan will like me and won't divorce me. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try, he doesn't like me. Now I understand, what is stolen is still stolen, and what doesn't belong to me is useless to steal. Now I just want to live a good life. I also want to be independent and strong like you, not relying on the Gu family..."

"What about the mistakes you made before? Are you just going to pretend you didn't notice them, especially Gu Yunhuan, who hasn't changed at all!"

"I...I...I'm sorry! I want to apologize to you, really. I'm going to work now, and I'm really getting better! Oh right, it's almost time, I have to go back to work!" After saying that, Yunle turned and left.

This confirms once again that Yun Shu returned alive to seek revenge.

After Yun Le left, Yun Shu stood up and looked out the window. In her past life, Yun Le hadn't really done anything to her. On the contrary, Li Meng and Yun Huan were the two most vicious. Yun Le... had helped her a few times before, which made her feel conflicted... Yun Le wanted to change for the better, so she would just have to wait and see what happened to her in the future. However, she absolutely could not let Li Meng and Yun Huan go!

As soon as she got off work, Yun Le went home anxiously. She thought about how she had spoken to Yun Shu at noon; hopefully, Yun Shu wouldn't harm her now, since she had changed for the better and posed no threat to them. As for Yun Huan, she couldn't help her anymore. Although Yun Huan had given the idea back then, Yun Huan had also wanted Yun Shu dead. Without Yun Le, her plan wouldn't have worked, and she might be the one going to jail today…

"Mom, I'm back!"

"Lele, what did Yunshu say? Did she agree to release Huanhuan?" Li Meng asked anxiously as soon as she saw Yunhuan return. Another day had passed, and her Huanhuan had been locked up for another day.

"Mom... Yunshu refuses, let's think of another way!"

"Is there really such a way? I've begged everyone I know today, but they all refuse. The Gu family is really different now. Before, everyone respected the Gu family. Today, as soon as they heard that Mrs. Gu was looking for them, they all immediately ran away. It's my fault! I ruined such a good hand, but I can't admit defeat yet! Otherwise, what will happen to your sister! Fine! Tomorrow I'll personally go and beg that bitch!"

"Where's Dad? Hasn't he come back yet?"

"Don't mention him. With things like this at home, he'd rather not come back. But I've already paid someone to follow him. We're determined to find out who his mistress is. Since he won't help us, I won't let him get away with it. Either he helps us, or I'll expose his mistress. Let's see how he can face people then."

Li Meng said bitterly, "That's his daughter too. She always favors Yun Shu. This time, no matter what, she has to force him to save Yun Huan. Otherwise, Huan Huan will really go to jail. Besides, she also needs to use that little bitch tomorrow. She hasn't seen her for four years, and she's only come back with bad news. She's been causing trouble behind her back. No wonder the three of them, mother and daughter, have been having a lot of bad luck lately."

"Mom...can't we just not save Yunhuan?"

"No, Yunhuan is my daughter!"

"Even if it costs you the title of Mrs. Gu!" Her mother and father already had no feelings for each other, and if his mistress were exposed, her mother and father would definitely get a divorce.

"I won't get a divorce so easily. I won't divorce Gu if he doesn't give me half of his assets."

Yun Le sighed and shook her head. This family was already falling apart. How could she deal with Yun Shu and the others if things continued like this? She rubbed her forehead, feeling so tired! Ignoring her mother's nagging, she went upstairs. She just wanted to get some rest.

Gu Cheng did indeed come to Xie Yao's place that night.

"How are you feeling today? Has your appetite improved?"

"It's alright, I'm much better now. Although it was a bit tough, I'm still very happy to have given birth to your child." Xie Yao shook her head and smiled, her smile filled with maternal tenderness. Gu Cheng felt gratified seeing this. Compared to Xie Yao, Li Meng had no womanly qualities whatsoever and should have been kicked out of the Gu family long ago.

"Okay! Take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. I promise you, as soon as I divorce Li Mengyi, I will take you back to the Gu family. Then our family can be together every day instead of me having to sneak over every time."

Upon hearing this, Li Meng was immediately overjoyed. She should be able to get a permanent position soon, and her child would no longer be an illegitimate child.

"Brother Cheng, don't be in such a hurry. I'm willing to wait, no matter how long it takes," he said, feigning concern.

"Yun Shu is back, thankfully still alive. I owe her a lot. Now she's messing with Li Meng and her daughter, telling me not to get involved. I'm happy to have some peace of mind; she's actually helping us out."

"Brother Cheng, didn't you say before that I looked like Yun Shu's mother? No matter how much she looked like her, was it because she liked me?"

"You can't compare yourself to her, and you shouldn't try to compare yourself to her, or I'll get angry." Gu Cheng's tone immediately turned cold.

Xie Yao immediately understood that this was a sore spot in Gu Cheng's heart that couldn't be touched. In fact, she had guessed before that she was just a substitute for Yun Shu's mother, but she didn't dare to ask before. Now that she was pregnant, she finally dared to ask. She didn't expect that it was indeed the result she had guessed. Oh well! For a divorced woman like her, whose family was poor, this result was already very good.
