Du Juan stood at the side, supporting her stomach with her head lowered to hide the envy in her eyes. Chen Yao and Yun Nan chatted intimately for a while before Chen Yao seemed to suddenly realize Du Juan’s presence, and her smile faded. She called for a maid and stated, “Take this—”
“Miss Du Juan!” Yun Nan hurriedly introduced her.
“Oh, take Miss Du to a guest room so she can rest and have Doctor Li and Nurse Ding take good care of her,” Chen Yao detachedly ordered, not saying anything to Du Juan.
“Thank you, Madam Gu,” Du Juan said gratefully, and Chen Yao smiled.

Yun Nan shook her head. “No, I never mentioned who you were. I never even told her that this is my grandmother’s house.”
Chen Yao frowned slightly. Yun Nan hooked her arm around Chen Yao’s and remarked, “Grandma, I don’t think this is as simple as it seems; she came to me specifically. I really can’t guess what her intentions are, and the child in her belly has the surname Gu, so I can only send her here to you for the time being. In any case, this is a matter of life and death.”
Chen Yao patted the arm Yun Nan placed around hers. “You did the right thing. Although your grandfather and I gradually left the Gu family after your mother went missing and are no longer involved in the family’s affairs, we are still family. Now, your grandfather is the only elder left in the Gu family. We can’t just watch these juniors destroy the inheritance left by our ancestors.”
Yun Nan lightly nodded and sighed, “I’m just worried that someone is up to no good and is scheming against us.”
Chen Yao chuckled and sighed. “Yeah, people will do anything for wealth. They originally thought that we had no descendants and planned to take possession of all our family assets after we died. Now that they heard that we’d found our daughter and had you guys, they immediately couldn’t sit still and even slandered Shi Nian. It just goes to show that human hearts can never stand up to the test.”
Yun Nan froze. “Shi Nian got slandered? Why didn’t I hear him mention it before?”
Chen Yao chided, “He didn’t want you to know he’s covering for you! Thankfully, you have Shi Nian around to protect you, or who knows what will happen to you, you muddle-headed girl!”
Yun Nan disagreed. “You make it sound like I’m useless! I was fine before he came along, wasn’t I?” Despite her words, Yun Nan couldn’t help but smile.
Chen Yao laughed as she looked at Yun Nan and replied, “Okay, fine! Yes, you’re amazing! You can live well without him! What a heartless girl you are! Shi Nian’s feelings are all wasted on you!”
Yun Nan giggled, “Alright, Grandma, enough already. I know he’s good to me.”
Chen Yao reached out and tidied Yun Nan’s hair. “Do cherish him, dear. He’s a good man worthy of your heart!” Yun Nan obediently nodded. She knew how good Shi Nian was to her.
Chen Yao was very gratified at that. “Although you two went through a life-and-death experience, you guys also gained something from it. At least you know each other’s feelings. Both of you will have to support each other in the future; it’s better than fighting alone.”
The two, grandmother and granddaughter, talked for a long time before Yun

Chen Yao stood at the door, her tone calm and friendly as she said, “Something on your mind? You’re pregnant; being unhappy isn’t good for the baby.”
Du Juan turned around in shock. Slightly flustered, she hurriedly stood up. “Madam, you’re here.”
Chen Yao smiled and walked in. “The doctor said there’s nothing wrong with the baby. However, since you’re this late in your pregnancy, it’s best to send you to the hospital as a precaution. I’ve already contacted the hospital for you.”
Du Juan had a complicated look as she lowered her head and mumbled, “Madam, can you please take me in and let me stay here? I’ll leave after I give birth. If I go to the hospital now, I—I’m worried that Gu Fei’s sisters will harm me. They want to kill me and take my child. I—I’m really afraid!”
Du Juan started to cry. Chen Yao looked at her and asked, “I’m also a member of the Gu family, so why aren’t you worried that I’ll harm you?”
Du Juan answered without any hesitation, “Because it was Yun Nan who sent me here. She’s a good person; she won’t harm me. She trusts you, so you must be a good person, too.”
Her logic was irrefutable. Chen Yao gave her a half-smile. “So that’s what you’re after; you want to drag Yun Nan into this and make her your guarantor! It’s a good plan. I’d like to know if you came up with this idea yourself or if they came up with it!”
Du Juan was momentarily stunned, unable to react..
