Chapter 289: Chapter 288: Tell Her the Secret
Song Yuzhi’s tailbone felt as if it was about to break.
She opened her eyes wide, in disbelief at the sight of Gu Mingde protecting Shi Yuan.
Her chest heaved violently.
In the past, Gu Mingde only had eyes for her, no other woman could catch his attention.
But ever since those red bumps appeared on her face, he had grown much colder toward her.
Why can a man change his heart so quickly, so cruelly, so absolutely?
Tears of utter heartbreak welled up in Song Yuzhi’s eyes.
Her fingers trembling, she pointed at Shi Yuan, “Slut, as long as I live, don’t even dream of setting foot in the Gu Family’s door!”
“Oh my.” Standing at the door, Ming Yao walked in with a smile, “Ms. Song, why aren’t you keeping your word? Didn’t you say whoever sleeps with Miss Shi must take responsibility for her?”
“Ms. Song even told my husband that she agreed to have Miss Shi become Madam Gu!”
Song Yuzhi’s face contorted, veins on her forehead bulging and pulsating.
What she agreed to was Shi Yuan marrying Gu Siting to become his Madam Gu!
She had never thought of letting Shi Yuan take her place and become Gu Mingde’s Madam Gu!
“Ming Yao, you’re behind this, aren’t you?”
Ming Yao touched her chin, feigning innocence, “Ms. Song, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. You said earlier that Miss Shi should sleep with my husband, but my husband has been with me all along. Could it be that Miss Shi didn’t find the opportunity and decided to settle for less?”
Shi Yuan lifted her head from Gu Mingde’s arms, her eyes red with rage as she glared at Ming Yao, “Shut up!”
In her heart, she vaguely understood what had happened.
It was Ming Yao who had schemed this!
But now she couldn’t say anything, otherwise, even Gu Mingde would no longer protect her.
Shi Yuan was mentally breaking down, starting to adopt a ‘damn it all’ attitude.
If she couldn’t be Gu Siting’s woman, fine, she could be his stepmother.
She’d still live in the Gu Family and see if she couldn’t annoy both Gu Siting and Ming Yao!
Of course, Ming Yao wouldn’t shut up. She said lazily with a smile, “Ms. Song, perhaps it’s time for you to step down from your position as Madam Gu? Just look at how tightly Mr. Gu is holding Miss Shi. Anyone unaware of the situation would think they are the legitimate couple!”
Song Yuzhi glanced at Gu Mingde, and now it seemed his eyes only contained Shi Yuan, that little slut.
“Aaah!” Unable to bear such a blow and provocation, Song Yuzhi lunged at Shi Yuan like a madwoman.
Her hands reached out as if to claw Shi Yuan’s face apart.
Gu Mingde had never seen Song Yuzhi in such a ferocious state before. He was stunned for a moment before disgust flashed in his eyes.
This time, Song Yuzhi still didn’t touch Shi Yuan before she was harshly pushed away by Gu Mingde.
Feeling Shi Yuan’s trembling, Gu Mingde stretched out his long arms, hoisted her sideways and walked outside.
“Gu Mingde!!!” Song Yuzhi screamed, her eyes nearly bursting from their sockets.
This was way too much! Way too much!
While she was still there, he actually had the gall to leave with that vixen in his arms!
Song Yuzhi wanted to follow, but at that moment, Gu Yanyu arrived.
He looked at the disheveled and emotionally shattered Song Yuzhi, a slight frown creasing his handsome face as he pulled her back into the room.
“Old Madam, little sister-in-law, I ask that you please leave us. I would like to have a few words alone with my mother.”

Old Madam Gu had not expected such an inauspicious event to occur on a day meant for reunion.
However, she had never liked her daughter-in-law, Song Yuzhi, and since Gu Mingde wasn’t her biological son, she didn’t care to say much about whatever mess they were in.
Song Yuzhi shook off Gu Yanyu’s hand, still wanting to go after Gu Mingde and Shi Yuan to settle the score.
Gu Yanyu kicked the door hard, his handsome face showing a touch of impatience and sternness, “Have you gone crazy enough?”
Song Yuzhi stared at Gu Yanyu with bloodshot eyes, her heart aching fiercely, “Your dad defended another woman in front of me, and you actually ask if I’ve gone crazy enough?”
This was her son!
Everything she did was for him, yet he actually said such a thing?
Were both father and son trying to anger her to death?
Gu Yanyu coldly twitched the corner of his lips, “If you go and make a fuss to him now, will he change his mind?”
Song Yuzhi’s body stiffened sharply.
She wrapped her hands around her head, tearing at her hair, “Then what should I do? I can’t accept this, I want to ruin that bitch’s face—”
“Enough!” Gu Yanyu didn’t like women who cried and wailed. He took a handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to Song Yuzhi, “With me around, she won’t enter the doors of the Gu Family.”
Song Yuzhi wiped her tears and looked up at Gu Yanyu, “Now that the Gu Corporation is completely under the control of Gu Siting, and you’re hardly ever home, if I don’t handle things for you, what position will you have in the Gu Family in the future?”
Gu Yanyu sneered coldly, “What have you accomplished after handling them for so many years?”
Song Yuzhi was left speechless by Gu Yanyu’s retort.
“Gu Siting won’t be the head of the family for long. Just wait patiently a little while longer.”
Song Yuzhi didn’t understand what Gu Yanyu meant.
“He has the skills to manage a business, the Gu Corporation has grown under his hands, wouldn’t it be better for me to take over something well-established?”
Song Yuzhi was even more confused.
In a while, Gu Siting would only be twenty-seven, the golden age for a man. How could he let Yanyu take over the Gu Corporation?
Song Yuzhi wanted to ask more, but Gu Yanyu didn’t elaborate.
However, with Gu Yanyu’s comfort, Song Yuzhi’s collapsing emotions improved somewhat.
With Yanyu here, Shi Yuan, that vixen, had no chance of taking her place!
…
In the adjacent room.
Gu Siting looked at Ming Yao, who smiled like a little fox, and rubbed her head with his large palm, “Had enough fun?”
Thinking of Song Yuzhi’s breakdown, and how Shi Yuan clenched her teeth in anger yet dared not speak out, Ming Yao finally felt a sense of relief in her heart.
“Enough, thank you for your cooperation, husband.”
Gu Siting looked at her helplessly, “With all this mess here, I’ll take you back to Imperial Garden.”
“Alright.”
Gu Siting went to change his clothes, and Ming Yao headed to the living room downstairs.
As she was about to pour herself a cup of tea, a tall and handsome figure approached her.
Seeing Gu Yanyu with a devilish smile, Ming Yao directly ignored him and stood up to wait for Gu Siting in the car outside.
To her surprise, Gu Yanyu followed her.
Before Ming Yao could open the car door, he reached out and held it closed.
“Sister-in-law.” Gu Yanyu called her with a teasing smile.
Ming Yao eyed Gu Yanyu, whose skin was as thick as a wall, and her lips curved with a mocking arc, “Second Young Master Gu, shouldn’t you be comforting your mother instead of following behind me?”
Gu Yanyu leaned closer to Ming Yao, the devilish smile on his lips deepening, “I’m here to kindly tell you my Fourth Brother’s secret.”
Ming Yao furrowed her brows slightly.
She didn’t speak, just looked at Gu Yanyu, waiting for him to finish what he had to say.
Gu Yanyu, looking at Ming Yao so close at hand, couldn’t help but sigh; this woman was indeed dazzlingly beautiful, like the stars in the sky, intelligent and calm, and when dealing with enemies, sharp and decisive.
No wonder a man as pure-hearted and desirous as Fourth Brother would lose his heart to her!
“The secret is…”
