Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 140 Gu Yanci looked at Wen Yan's lower abdomen

When Wen Yan entered the room, Gu Jinzhi was on the phone with one hand on her hip.

"Anyway, Luo Beiqing's phone is under my control now. If you have any objections, go find my brother and sister-in-law. I can't make the decision!"

"Madam Luo, what are you talking about, this 'Luo family' nonsense? You know I'm just an uneducated parasite, I don't understand!"

"Me, after Luo Beiqing's money? I can't be her daughter, I can't be her wife, what good would it do me to covet her money? Would the court award it to me? It's you who are after her money!"

These fangirls are incredibly fierce!

When Gu Jinzhi saw Wen Yan enter, her eyes lit up, and she immediately hung up the phone.

"Wen Yan, you're back!" Gu Jinzhi immediately put on a smile and said proudly, "I took very good care of Miss Luo!"

Luo Bei leaned back on the hospital bed, his face pale, and nodded with a smile, saying, "I must thank Miss Gu for these past few days."

"Thank you, Jinzhi!" Wen Yan expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

Gu Jinzhi winked at Gu Yanci, her face saying: I'm not bad, am I?

Gu Yanci: "..." He opened his phone and transferred 100,000 yuan to Gu Jinzhi as pocket money.

Gu Jinzhi beamed with joy. The mission was complete, she had earned gold coins, and she immediately said goodbye to the group before happily leaving the hospital.

The Luo family was originally controlled by Luo Beiqing's father. After Luo Beiqing's parents passed away, her relatives wanted to divide up the shares and assets held by Luo Beiqing, but they were wary of He Tingchuan, who was behind her. Now that He Tingchuan and Luo Beiqing have finally divorced, they immediately joined forces to deal with Luo Beiqing.

Before his death, Luo's father built a private park for Luo Beiqing and his mother, a place filled with many memories of their family of three. The park was in an excellent location, and the entire Luo family conspired to destroy it and build more profitable houses instead. Luo Beiqing witnessed the park's destruction, and in his agitation, he fainted and was rushed to the hospital.

The results showed she was three and a half months pregnant.

She became pregnant around the same time as Qiao Weiwei.

Wen Yan placed her hand on Luo Beiqing's still flat stomach and asked, "Is the baby alright?"

"Yes, you need to take care of the pregnancy for a few days."

Wen Yan looked at her with concern, hesitating to speak: "Then... what do you plan to do? Are you still going to get a divorce? Are you going to keep the baby? Now that you have this child, the He family probably won't agree to a divorce."

Upon hearing the word 'divorce,' Gu Yanci looked at Wen Yan and Luo Beiqing.

Luo Beiqing scoffed: "What does my child have to do with men? I've already got the divorce papers; I don't need their consent!"

The baby will stay, but the man will not.

Wen Yan was not surprised by the answer at all and nodded knowingly.

Suddenly, she sensed something strange: "The Luo family's sudden attack on you must mean they knew He Tingchuan had agreed to the divorce. How did they find out so quickly? How did they get the information?"

Luo Beiqing looked at Wen Yan for two seconds and said, "Wen Muzhi said it."

"Wen Muzhi?"

How did she get involved with the He family?

Luo Beiqing said, "She and He Zihan are getting engaged."

He Zihan is the illegitimate son of He Tingchuan's father and a formidable rival to He Tingchuan in his attempt to seize power in the He family.

-

Luo Beiqing still needs to be hospitalized to protect the pregnancy, so Wen Yan went home to wash up first and came to the hospital to accompany Luo Beiqing in the evening.

When Wen Yan came out of the ward and found that He Tingchuan had already left, her expression became even colder.

dog man!

Gu Yanci's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Wen Yan's lower abdomen, and he couldn't help but wonder: If Wen Yan had had his child earlier, would she be so determined to divorce him now?

“It’s not good for a child to be born without a father,” Gu Yanci suddenly said.

If Wen Yan's attitude is that she will choose not to divorce because of the child, then... shouldn't he also give it a try?

The sun was shining brightly, and people were coming and going outside the hospital building.

Wen Yan tilted her head to look at the man beside her: "Gu Yanci, do you men take it for granted that women should prioritize motherhood? Motherhood is a social role, but it is not a role that should be sacrificed and wronged. If Bei Qing stays by He Tingchuan's side for the sake of the unborn child, it is unfair to Bei Qing."

Women have the right to choose to be themselves first in social relationships, rather than being trapped by motherhood.

"If He Tingchuan is a good father, he won't diminish his love for the baby because of his divorce from Bei Qing. If he's not a good father, then isn't it ridiculous for him not to divorce for the sake of the baby?"

Gu Yanci did not hear the answer she wanted, and her expression turned indifferent.

"Thank you for your help this time." Wen Yan changed the subject. "I plan to hire a bodyguard and a housekeeper to take care of Bei Qing myself, so I won't trouble you any further."

Gu Yanci gave a light, mocking laugh: "I thought you were going to ask me for a divorce."

"If you agree." Wen Yan looked up at him seriously.

Gu Yanci's eyes were dark and unfathomable, making it impossible to discern his emotions.

"Wen Yan, you need to think this through. The bodyguards you hired can't stop He Tingchuan."

Wen Yan remained silent.

Indeed, what could stop He Tingchuan was never the bodyguard, but Gu Yanci behind the bodyguard.

……

After being away for five days, Gu Yanci had to return to the company to handle the mountain of work.

A short while later, Zhou Qi came to knock on the door.

"President Gu, Young Master He has arrived."

As soon as He Tingchuan entered, without saying a word, he swung a fist at Gu Yanci.

Gu Yanci nimbly dodged to the side and retaliated with a punch.

"Oh!"

He Tingchuan seemed to be asking for a beating, and without even dodging, he took a punch to the face, his lip quickly turning blue.

"Are you sick?" Gu Yanci was in a bad mood.

There's already so much going on, and now this troublemaker has to come along!

Upon seeing this, Zhou Qi quickly left the office and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

He Tingchuan was punched, but he wasn't angry about the punch: "You're the one who's sick! What are you meddling in my wife and my business?"

"What old hag? Didn't you already sign the divorce papers?"

Gu Yanci's face practically screamed 'useless thing'.

He felt that Luo Beiqing's successful acquisition of the divorce agreement spurred Wen Yan to become even more determined to divorce!

These women just like to do everything together!

When the divorce agreement was mentioned, He Tingchuan's anger subsided.

He slumped down on the sofa, lowering his eyes to hide the regret in them: "I...I didn't know she was pregnant."

Gu Yanci had a "what's it to me?" look on his face and really wanted to kick him out.

But out of a sense of shared misfortune, she retorted, "Just because you're pregnant?"

"Of course not!" He Tingchuan gritted his teeth. "She filed for divorce directly, making a huge scene! If Wen Yan did something like that, I don't believe you would be indifferent."

Everyone cares about their image!

“She won’t,” Gu Yanci said with absolute certainty.

He understood Wen Yan and knew the importance of Gu Jingzhou and Old Madam Gu in her heart. Based on these two alone, Wen Yan wouldn't make things too ugly.

At this moment, Gu Yanci had no choice but to thank Gu Jingzhou.
