“You remember Gao Bei, don’t you?” Tan Ning stated with a cold smile, and Yun Liu’s expression darkened.

Tan Ning hurriedly said, “Ding Pei may be muddle-headed, but she’s quite capable. The way she dealt with Gao Bei was truly brilliant, but she was just a little unlucky; who would’ve expected a woman who ‘went missing’ like that could come back?”

She continued, “That Gao Bei must have had help from someone high up if you ask me. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to return even if she had nine lives, causing Ding Pei’s plan to backfire on herself. That woman’s escape was simply a miracle.”

Yun Liu was silent; she didn’t want to think about Ding Pei. She murmured,

“You mean… to make that woman disappear?”

“How would Gu Fei’s crisis be resolved otherwise? That woman’s existence will always be a stain on Gu Fei’s reputation, and if that stain remains, Gu Fei will become a ticking time bomb that might blow up at any time. Gu Fei’s protected by his entire family, so naturally, he’ll be fine—but you won’t. Every time Gu Fei ‘explodes,’ you’ll also be implicated. We can’t possibly spend all our time and effort constantly cleaning up after him,” Tan Ning analyzed.

Yun Liu frowned. Tan Ning noticed and remarked, “The Gu family probably has that woman under control and hidden away somewhere now. Don’t worry. I’ll ask around. You should keep the idea in mind, and when the opportunity arises, you can subtly suggest it to Madam Bai Jie; if she does consider it, then great. We can’t be as stupid as Ding Pei and do it ourselves.”This content belongs to novelhulk.com, if the content is missing please go to novelhulk.com website to read the full content

Yun Liu nodded almost imperceptibly.

Bai Jie leaned against her pillow and took a few deep breaths, looking worried. Gu Fei couldn’t help but interject, “Mom, don’t worry so much about it. Great-Uncle Gu Bei was just saying that; he probably didn’t mean anything by it. There’s no way he would give all his assets to someone completely unrelated!”

Bai Jie glared at him and snapped, “This is all your fault!”

Gu Fei was both annoyed and amused by that. “What’s this got to do with me?! Mom, don’t make such a fuss, okay? And you guys! Don’t cause any more trouble! The Shi family wouldn’t have fallen out with us if it weren’t for you all. I almost had Shi Xiu in the bag, but you guys had to go and make a scene. Thanks to you, I got exposed, and now you’re all giving me dirty looks because of it. How’s that fair? You women are just so unreasonable!”

Gu Rou threw the cushion beside her at her brother. “You’re one to talk! That

Du Juan is still at my place!”

Gu Fei shut his mouth at that. Bai Jie rubbed her temples, and Gu Xiang, her youngest daughter, quickly came over to massage her head.

“Is the child in that woman’s stomach really yours?” she asked Gu Fei calmly.

Gu Fei started up and exclaimed, “I don’t know! She didn’t say she was pregnant when I broke up with her!”

Seeing his attitude, Gu Xiang couldn’t help but chide, “Oh, have a heart, will you? She said she’d been with you for five years! Five years! How many five years does a woman have, Gu Fei? She’s truly unlucky to be with a b*stard like “Gu Xiang, you’re my sister, so why are you siding with her?” Gu Fei cried out. “I’m your younger brother; how could you speak for an outsider? I don’t know whose child she’s carrying. Why don’t you guys let her give birth? Then, you can do a paternity test; if the child is mine, I’ll take responsibility for them. If the baby’s not mine, then it’ll prove my innocence! Well?! What do you think of the idea?”

His four sisters didn’t say anything and looked toward their mother. Bai Jie also fell silent. She gave the idea some thought. ‘ What our Gu family lacks the most is children—boys, to be exact! IfDu Juan is really pregnant with our familys child and it turns out to be a boy, then at least we wouldn’t have to worry about our lack of descendants or the family fortune being divided up and given to the branch families..’
