The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Chapter 234 Illegitimate Son

"Lele, do you think Dad will listen to us? Will he still divorce Mom?" Yun Huan was scared now.

"I don't know, but even if they're going to get a divorce, it'll be at least six months. It's unlikely to happen anytime soon. I'll have Mom try to persuade Dad to stay. After all, if they get a divorce, Uncle's family isn't as well-off as before, and they'll be looked down upon when they go back," Yun Le sighed.

A lot happened to the Li family this year. Yunle's eldest uncle was arrested by the police for drug trafficking. The remaining uncles were not very capable, and the Li family had declined. Li Meng hadn't been back to her parents' home much this year. Whenever she went back, Yunle's aunts would complain about being poor, so she was afraid to go back.

The two then went upstairs to see Li Meng.

After leaving the Gu family, Gu Cheng drove alone and went to Xie Yao's house instead of going anywhere else.

When I came in, the woman was looking at books about pregnancy recipes and skincare. She had bought a lot of books about pregnancy yesterday.

"You've arrived!" Xie Yao immediately stood up happily upon seeing Gu Cheng.

"Sit down, be careful, don't move around. Be careful during the first three months." That was his youngest child, and especially since the woman he loved was going to have his child, his tone of voice had never been so gentle.

"It's okay, the baby is fine. Aren't you going to work?" Xie Yao was happy to see that he cared about her, even though it was because she was pregnant with his child.

"Don't even mention it, it's so annoying. That woman Li Meng lost a lot of money gambling and is having an affair. I can only talk to you about my troubles because I don't want to air my dirty laundry in public."

"How could she do such a thing? Isn't this... embarrassing for you?" Xie Yao wanted to tell him about being cuckolded, but she didn't dare to say it. However, she knew in her heart that Yun Shu was definitely behind this.

“Hey! It’s outrageous that I want to divorce her. That woman actually wants half of the family property, and Army Day is coming up. I work at the military headquarters, so it’s not appropriate to divorce her right now…” Gu Cheng said apologetically to Xie Yao.

Xie Yao felt a deep hatred for Li Meng after hearing this, but she dared not show it on her face. She said understandingly, "Brother Cheng, I know you are doing this for us, mother and son. Don't worry, your matter is important. I'm just afraid that people will say the child is an illegitimate child. I don't care anymore, I just can't let the child suffer."

"Don't worry, I understand. I'll divorce that woman sooner or later. You're so good to me, how could I possibly wrong you and the children? Now I need to think about how to divorce that woman. I can't let her take half of the Gu family's assets. Even if she cheated, the law will only award her less assets. A colleague of mine went through the same thing. In the end, he lost his wife and his job. Sigh!"

"Okay... then let's take it slow. Have some tea. It's getting hot now, so you should drink more water. You've looked thinner lately. I'll ask Sister Yi to make some soup for you. I can't stand smells now that I'm pregnant, otherwise I'll cook it myself."

"No, you just need to take good care of the baby. There's still some time before dinner, stay with me and sleep for a while."

Xie Yao's face immediately turned pale and she hurriedly shook her head, saying, "Brother Cheng, the doctor said that you can't have sex during the first three months..." Her first child was lost because her ex-husband forced her to have sex even though the pregnancy was still stable, and she got divorced.

"Don't worry, I'm just tired. I'm just lying down. It's nothing serious. Besides, I'm old. How can I compare to young people?" Seeing that her face was completely pale, he knew she was frightened and understood why she had mentioned getting a divorce before. He comforted her with some heartache, explaining that she was truly exhausted. She had argued with Li Meng, and it had worn her out both physically and mentally.

Xie Yao was relieved and accompanied him inside to lie down.

Gu Cheng stayed at Xie Yao's house for several hours before reluctantly leaving. As soon as Gu Cheng left, Xie Yao immediately called Yun Shu.

"Dr. Gu, Cheng-ge might not get a divorce immediately. I heard that Li Meng wants to take half of Cheng-ge's family fortune. Cheng-ge is reluctant to give up the Gu family's assets, and he's also been quite busy lately. I'm worried that a divorce will affect him..."

Yun Shu was at work when she heard this and frowned. That Li Meng was really difficult to deal with. She would have to think of another way to deal with her. So she comforted Xie Yao and said, "I know, it's okay. I will find a way to deal with that woman."

"Dr. Gu, please deal with that woman as soon as possible. I don't want my child to be called an illegitimate child before it's born."

"Okay! Don't worry, I'm even more eager to get revenge than you are. You just need to keep Gu Cheng calm and tell me his thoughts." Yun Shu comforted her. Xie Yao, who was pregnant with Gu Cheng's child, was even more anxious than her to drive Li Meng out of the Gu family.

"Okay, thank you, Dr. Gu." Xie Yao knew that Yun Shu was also Gu Cheng's daughter, but she still called her Dr. Gu to avoid suspicion. Besides, Yun Shu didn't like the Gu family and didn't want to be associated with them, so it was more appropriate for her to call her Dr. Gu.

After the two finished their phone call, Yun Shu threw her pen on the table and stood up. This Li Meng was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. She would have to come up with another idea. It was a real headache.

When I told Mingkun about it when I got home that night, Mingkun didn't think much of it; it was within his expectations. However, he had already let Gu Cheng know what kind of person Li Meng was, and that the couple's relationship had broken down. It would be easier to sow discord between them in the future, and their divorce was only a matter of time.

“Yun Shu, since Li Meng’s situation isn’t enough to make Gu Cheng want a divorce, let’s try to influence Yun Huan and Yun Le to force Li Meng to divorce Gu Cheng on her own. Hasn’t she always been very fond of her two daughters?” Ming Kun said after thinking it over.

"Yun Le is smarter, and Li Meng doesn't really care about her. She's much easier to deal with than Yun Huan. That woman is easy to handle because she's always indulging in pleasure. The key is to find her fatal weakness. For example, make her do something to you, and then Li Meng will have no choice but to ask for a divorce in exchange for Gu Cheng saving Yun Huan."

"That's a good idea... but it'll be difficult to implement."

"It's alright. I'll have someone keep an eye on Gu Yunhuan and find an opportunity to make a move. Leave this to me, you don't need to worry. I'll play the bad guy. You just need to take good care of Beibei and go to work."

"Mingkun...is what we're doing wrong...?"

Mingkun understood what Yunshu was worried about and comforted her, "We didn't do anything. These were all their own crimes. We just exposed them. We didn't do anything that violated morality or the law. Besides, we were just helping your mother and you keep things safe. Given the crimes they committed, they should all be in jail. It's already good that they're still alive and well."

Yun Shu also felt that Ming Kun's words made sense. Gu Cheng abandoned her mother, and Gu Yunle and Yun Huan pushed her into the sea. However, there were no eyewitnesses at the time. Witnesses... no, it seems that someone was following behind them at the time.

“Mingkun, I remember seeing Ah Zhong when I was pushed into the sea. If I can get him to testify that Yun Huan and Yun Le were the ones who wanted to harm people, that would be great.”

"Gu Cheng's bodyguards? I've noted that down. Take it slow; the longer it goes on, the more flaws they'll reveal. I'll have someone handle these things behind the scenes, so you don't need to worry. By the way, I'm going home the day after tomorrow. As we agreed before, I'll take Beibei to meet my parents. If you don't want to meet them, I'll arrange for you to stay at a hotel in town, okay?"

"I don't want to go..."
