Chapter 274 Someone is following
This was Yun Shu's second visit to Xie Yao's home. Xie Yao's home was the same as before, except that Xie Yao was now four months pregnant. She was wearing loose maternity clothes, but her figure was still very slender. Like Yun Shu, she was a woman with a small frame, which is why she wasn't considered to look old.
"Dr. Gu, you're here. I thought you didn't want to see me anymore after you'd used me!" Xie Yao's tone was not as polite as before this time.
"Yes! I helped you deal with Li Meng and her two daughters, so logically I shouldn't have anything to do anymore. Unfortunately, Gu Cheng suddenly had an accident, but that's not my fault!" Her attitude was bad, and Yun Shu wasn't necessarily in a good mood either. She didn't like to get involved in Gu family matters anyway.
"But Gu Yunhuan hasn't moved out yet!" Her words were full of accusation, as if Yun Shu hadn't done a good job for her.
"That's Gu Cheng's problem. Who told him to fall and get injured the day before they left? Besides, you and Gu Cheng haven't even registered your marriage yet. Do you think it's appropriate for you to move in now? There's more than just Gu Cheng's family living in that compound. Besides, if you want to move in, that's fine with me. Nobody's stopping you. Just move in." Yun Shu was annoyed by her accusations. It hadn't been that long, and she couldn't wait to move in. Li Meng had only been dead for a short time. Wasn't she afraid? Yun Shu really admired this seemingly weak woman. She was actually very brave.
"This...you know very well that Gu Yunhuan is a bad person. If I move there, my son and I will definitely die. I'm so anxious that I've become like this. Dr. Gu, please help me one more time." Xie Yao has now returned to her usual gentle and sweet self.
If Yun Shu hadn't seen her lose her temper and change her expression, she might have felt some sympathy for her. But whether she was a mistress or a fourth mistress, she was still a third party who interfered in someone else's family. Before, the two of them were just cooperating, but now she wouldn't get involved with her.
"Since you were able to persuade Grandpa, you must be quite capable. Gu Cheng is in such a state now, and I heard you only went to see him once. It seems your relationship with him isn't all that great." Yun Shu had truly come to understand the woman in front of her. Indeed, someone who can be someone's mistress probably isn't much better.
"No, I was afraid of hurting the child if I went out, so I didn't dare to move around freely. Besides, if I ran into someone sent by Gu Yunhuan who was following me and trying to harm me, I would be finished."
"Someone is following you?" Yun Shu frowned, somewhat surprised.
“I don’t know. The day before yesterday, I went out and walked a little further out of the neighborhood. When I came back, I vaguely felt that someone was following me. But I think that person is not sure if it was me. If he finds out, he will definitely try to harm me! Brother Cheng is injured, and my son and I have no one to rely on. I can only ask you for help.”
Yun Shu frowned upon hearing Xie Yao's words. If someone was following Xie Yao, it must have been sent by Gu Yunhuan and Gao Yao's men. Xie Yao was indeed in a bit of danger.
Is Yun Huan's intention to target Xie Yao to avenge Li Meng? It's not that simple. That person is heartless. If Xie Yao is found by her, the mother and child will indeed be in danger. If Xie Yao loses her child, then the Gu family's assets and Gu Cheng's will will have to be changed.
Immediately call Gu Cheng's friend, lawyer Chen Lihai.
"Uncle Chen, are you free now?"
"Just tell me what's on your mind." Chen Lihai was eating and knew that Yun Shu must have something to say if she called, so he didn't beat around the bush and told her to get straight to the point.
"If... I mean if Xie Yao's child is lost, will my father's will be changed?"
"If the child is gone... legally there are two possible outcomes, mainly depending on your father. If your father passes away, and the deceased, Xie Yao's child, is gone, the child's inheritance rights will pass to Xie Yao, and she will be eligible to inherit the property. The other outcome is that your father is alive, but Xie Yao's child is gone. In that case, Xie Yao has no inheritance rights, and you cannot inherit all the property. The Gu family's property must be redistributed, and all of Gu Cheng's children have inheritance rights."
"That's really true, thank you Uncle Chen!"
"It's alright. Call me again if you have any questions. But why did you ask that..."
“Uncle Chen, you misunderstood. Xie Yao said someone was following her. I was thinking that besides blaming Xie Yao for Li Meng's death, Gu Yunhuan might also be after the will. After hearing what you said, I understand. My father is like that; I don't know if he'll recover, or what will happen to him in the future. Medically speaking, he's close to being in a vegetative state. Gu Yunhuan is trying to exploit legal loopholes. If my father is still alive, but Xie Yao's child is gone, then the Gu family's assets will be redistributed, and Yunhuan will have the right to inherit the Gu family's property. No wonder she's refused to move out of the Gu family home!” After a brief exchange of questions, Yun Shu understood the doubts about the will.
"So at this stage, to avoid any more problems with the will, Xie Yao's child must be born safely, regardless of whether Gu Cheng is alive or dead!" Chen Lihai did not expect Gu Cheng to have an accident so soon when he made the will with Gu Cheng. Man proposes, God disposes. Now the Gu family can only rely on Yun Shu, especially Xie Yao and her child.
Chen Lihai's words were easy to understand. If Gu Cheng was still alive, but his legal heirs predeceased him, according to the law, in testamentary succession occurs when an heir dies without a new will, and the right of representation does not apply. In other words, if Gu Cheng was alive but remained in a coma, and Xie Yao's child was lost, then the other half of Gu Cheng's family property would not go to Xie Yao, and Yun Shu would not receive her share; the inheritance would have to be redistributed.
Yun Shu hung up the phone and looked at Xie Yao. She had just turned on speakerphone, and Xie Yao had heard everything Chen Lihai said. Hope rose in her heart again.
"Dr. Gu, the lawyer has made everything clear. We still need to cooperate. You can forgo the Gu family's assets, but you can't let Gu Yunhuan benefit from them!"
"This is a headache. The Gu family is just never going to stop... But I've suffered so much and even escaped death, so it's really hard to accept giving the Gu family's assets to Yun Huan now." Yun Shu sighed, feeling utterly annoyed.
"Dr. Gu, you must send someone to protect my son and me now. I want you to leave and drive Gu Yunhuan away. I want to move into the Gu family home, and I need several bodyguards to protect me!" Xie Yao resumed her domineering demeanor.
Yun Shu didn't answer her. Instead, she crossed her arms and looked at her seriously. After a long while, she said, "Xie Yao, what gives you the right to order me around! Even if your child is gone, I can still get my hands on the Gu family's assets, believe it or not!"
Her words were filled with an unquestionable attitude; don't think she can only get the Gu family's property through her—what a naive woman.
"Impossible!" Xie Yao didn't believe it. Even if Yun Shu was powerful, she couldn't possibly fight against the law.
