Disorder in marriage

After crying and seeing her child again, Yan Zhi's mood improved noticeably.

Since the birth of their child, the two are finally no longer in a tense and confrontational state.

As Yan Zhi left the hospital, she put on his coat, and Gu Yunmo considerately opened the car door for her.

After getting into the car, Yan Zhi took the initiative to speak: "I have something to tell you."

Gu Yunmo nodded: "Go ahead and speak."

See? As long as Yan Zhi doesn't cause trouble, he's not actually that heartless.

"I want to go back to work after I recover."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunmo immediately frowned. "For money? There's no need."

In his opinion, the money Yan Zhi earns from going to work is probably not even enough to cover a fraction of her daily expenses.

He didn't sign the agreement to motivate her to work; he just wanted to get everything back to normal and get life back on track as soon as possible.

But Yan Zhi seemed to have made up her mind.

"Gu Yunmo, I must go to work."

When she strongly desires something, she always expresses it clearly and firmly, as if revealing a resolute determination to burn her bridges.

Just like a year ago, she showed him her pregnancy test results, her eyes filled with ambition.

"Gu Yunmo, I'm pregnant. Marry me."

……

Once home, Gu Yunmo left Yan Zhi behind and walked ahead, but Yan Zhi called out to him.

"I'm just letting you know that I need to go to work. It was wrong of me to pressure you into marriage, but I want to prove that I can support myself without you."

At this moment, Yan Zhi only wanted to treat this marriage as a business partnership.

"Besides, I stay home every day, and with nothing to help me distract myself, I just overthink, torturing myself and you. Isn't that right?"

Gu Yunmo scrutinized Yan Zhi's thin, fair profile.

"You haven't worked for three years since you started trying to conceive. You're severely out of touch with modern society. There's no need for you to make things harder for yourself."

Yan Zhi was about to argue when he coldly shut her down.

"Your next task is to take good care of your health. Grandma said that while we're still young, we should have a child of our own as soon as possible."

After saying that, he went upstairs. Yan Zhi stood alone in the living room, feeling all alone, with the cold wind blowing into her heart.

Sure enough, her value was nothing more than that of a breeding machine.

A few days later, Yan Zhi's condition improved somewhat.

Previously, she couldn't eat and could only maintain her energy by receiving glucose injections, but now she can finally eat normally.

In the morning, she received a call from Jiang Jin while sitting at home.

"Madam, Mr. Gu has a business dinner tonight. Please prepare in advance."

Yan Zhi was somewhat surprised, as Yan Fei had always accompanied Gu Yunmo to such occasions before.

Even after they got married, Gu Yunmo never took her out, citing her pregnancy as an excuse.

Perhaps he also wanted to give Yan Zhi something to do to distract her.

"Okay."

She opened the closet, and the clothes she had worn during her pregnancy and the clothes she had prepared for the baby stung her eyes.

Yan Zhi took a deep breath and tried her best to hold back her tears.

That evening, she went straight to the venue after leaving the beauty salon. All the men at the banquet had brought their wives and children.

Looking around, all you could see were families standing together.

That was once the scene Yan Zhi longed for the most.

If only her daughter were here with her...

Just as Yan Zhi was about to look for Gu Yunmo, a little boy suddenly fell down in front of her.

She quickly helped him up and dusted the dust off his pants.

"Does it hurt?"

The boy shook his head. "It doesn't hurt, thank you, Auntie!"

Yan Zhi smiled gently and said, "There are a lot of people here, be careful."

"Hello!"

A woman wearing an off-shoulder dress walked briskly over in high heels not far away.

"What did you say to my son?!"

He fell down, and I just helped him up.

The woman looked the little boy up and down, then began to question Yan Zhi again.

"You didn't trip my son on purpose, did you?"

"Mom, I fell down by myself, and this pretty lady helped me up!"

"Shut up!"

The boy trembled with fear, his little hands gripping the woman's clothes tightly.

The woman approached Yan Zhi and warned her in a low voice.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to! You want to get close to my son so his father will divorce me, right? Let me tell you! Even if you can steal my man, you won't be able to steal my child!"

Yan Zhi saw her own reflection in the woman's face for a moment and felt immense sympathy for her.

You've really misunderstood.

"What misunderstanding? You bunch of little vixens had better stay away from my son! Otherwise, even if I die, you won't live to see me divorce his father!"

She had a loud voice, which attracted everyone around her.

Yan Zhi had no intention of getting entangled and said directly, "I'm here to see Mr. Gu of the Gu Group. I don't know your husband. Could you please move aside?"

The woman, still somewhat skeptical, made way for Yan Zhi, who had just stepped out of the crowd when she saw Gu Yunmo leading Ji Shanmei toward them.

She had seen the dresses that Ji Shanmei and Gu Yunmo were wearing in the store during the day; they were a matching couple's style.

"Madam, what brings you here?"

Yan Zhi found Ji Shanmei's question laughable.

"Gu Yunmo, what do you mean?"

The man frowned. "You want to cause trouble here again?"

Yan Zhi was in the mood to sympathize with others just now, but she was clearly the biggest joke.

Jiang Jin jogged over to the three of them and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. I sent a message to my wife telling her not to come. I don't know how things turned out this way."

Yan Zhi took out her phone from her bag. There was indeed a message, but it had been sent half an hour ago, and she had already been on her way there by then.

"Since you have someone with you, I won't bother you any longer."

"Madam! Please don't be angry! Mr. Gu finds it troublesome, so I've been accompanying him to these kinds of events all year! Since you're already here, please enjoy yourself before you leave!"

Ji Shanmei grabbed her hand, her nails so long they almost dug into Yan Zhi's flesh.

She instinctively swung her arm, without using much force, but Ji Shanmei collapsed weakly to the ground.

"what!"

People gathered around, and Gu Yunmo's face darkened.

"Yan Zhi! What's gotten into you again?"

"She fell by herself, believe it or not."

Ji Shanmei sat on the ground, tears of grievance streaming down her face.

"Mrs. Gu, you already slapped me last time because of a misunderstanding! Don't you think that if I really had something going on with Mr. Gu, why would I even bother trying to persuade you to stay!"

Sarcastic voices also rang out from the surrounding area.

"No wonder President Gu didn't bring his wife along."

"Exactly, she's like a shrew. Even if a man doesn't cheat, she'll drive him to one!"

Yan Zhi remained motionless, her body tense, her eyes already dull and lifeless.

Gu Yunmo picked up Ji Shanmei in front of her, leaving her standing there alone in front of everyone, without even giving her a glance.
