To seduce her

Shen Yao had never thought about dividing the inheritance at first. It didn't matter if she didn't get the shares, it wasn't hers in the first place. It should be left to Gao Yuchuan.

So when Shen Yao saw this contract, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she gave Gao Yuchuan a guarantee, and she was willing to do so.

But who would have thought that in the supplementary terms, half of the shares were directly assigned to Gao Yuanbin.

Shen Yaochu was startled. She took the contract and quickly opened it to look at it. Sure enough, she had been cheated.

Shen Yaochu's mind exploded instantly, and she even felt like stars were popping up in her eyes.

At that time, she was only looking to see if it would be harmful to Gao Yuchuan and whether she would agree on a time to have the baby. She didn't realize that there was such a big pit waiting for her.

After all, Shen Yaochu never thought that she would not need the money due to Zhou Hongli's ALS, so she naturally ignored the consequences of going back on her word.

Shen Yaochu held the agreement tightly: "Did you do it on purpose?"

"Of course not." Gao Yuanbin shrugged and leaned back slightly on the chair: "I just think more carefully about every direction."

There was a violent convulsion in her stomach. The pain was so painful that Shen Yaochu could hardly breathe. The uncomfortable feeling of nausea made her subconsciously cover her chest.

Shen Yaochu gritted her teeth and looked at Gao Yuanbin and asked, "What is your purpose?"

"What's my purpose?" Gao Yuanbin smiled: "Didn't you take the initiative to ask me for help? I agreed to everything I needed to agree to, and I gave you the money I needed to give. I'm going to protect myself. What's the problem?"

Shen Yaochu's whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Gao Yuanbin seemed to enjoy this situation of manipulating people. He raised his eyelids and looked at Shen Yaochu: "So am I still trying to persuade you? Everything is not that bad. If you don't want me to take away your shares, just be honest. Live with the Gao family and give Gao Yuchuan a child."

Shen Yaochu clenched her teeth, her eyes and eyebrows were stained with a thin layer of red, and she stared at Gao Yuanbin.

Gao Yuanbin was not afraid at all, and even the curvature of his lips became more obvious: "I will pay for your mother's medical treatment. Even if you want to spend money, I will give it to you. I am fine with you spending whatever you want. That's it. I don’t know how many people can’t even dream of getting good things, so why don’t you want to?”

Shen Yaochu closed her eyes in despair. Zhou Hongli had always praised her for being smart and good at reading since she was a child. But at this moment, Shen Yaochu realized how stupid she was.

How could negotiating terms with a cunning businessman who had been in the business for many years be something that she, a woman who honestly studied to be a doctor, could do easily?

No matter how cautious she is, no matter how many times she looks, there will always be a big pit waiting for her.

It's just that Shen Yaochu was too anxious at the time, rushing to get money to save Zhou Hongli, so he would always make mistakes.

When Shen Yaochu opened her eyes again, there was only numbness in her eyes. She raised her eyelids and looked at Gao Yuanbin with dull eyes: "I'm staying at the Gao family, so don't touch Gao Yuchuan's things."

"Of course." Gao Yuanbin nodded: "I have always been honest and do what I say."

Shen Yaochu looked away: "..."

*****

----

It took Shen Yaochu a long time to finally calm down and accept the reality.

Looking at the packed luggage, Shen Yaochu only felt ironic.

She wanted to be free, but she completely forgot that from the moment Zhou Hongli asked Gao Yuchuan for money, she would be trapped in the whirlpool and no longer have freedom.

No, earlier, when Shen Yaochu became Shen Weiyi's sister and accepted his money to study, she no longer had freedom.

Shen Yaochu looked at everything in the room numbly, like a walking zombie, her body stiffened, and she took out the things in the suitcase one by one and put them back in their place.

Everything in the room seemed to be mocking Shen Yaochu.

***

She didn't know how long she had slept, but Shen Yaochu was woken up by a knock on the door.

The moment he opened his eyes, it was already pitch black outside the open curtains. A feeling of chest tightness suddenly came up again. Shen Yaochu swallowed hard and couldn't relieve it for a long time.

There was another knock on the door. Only then did Shen Yaochu react and asked in a loud voice, "What's the matter?"

A servant's voice came from outside: "You need to come out. The old lady has returned from abroad."

old lady?

Shen Yaochu pursed her lips, not understanding who this old lady was for a moment.

After washing her face and gargling her mouth, Shen Yaochu walked out of the room and looked down from upstairs. She saw an old lady sitting downstairs, surrounded by people from the Gao family.

Looking at the old lady with all white hair and excellent energy and complexion, Shen Yaochu knew that this was Old Madam Gao.

This is a legendary figure in the Gao family.

Shen Yao came late at first and there were many people standing below. She quietly went downstairs and stood in the outermost circle of the crowd, trying to be as invisible as possible.

A line of sight fell on her face. Shen Yaochu raised her head and met Gao Yuchuan's slightly cold eyes.

When Shen Yaochu remembered that the contract with Gao Yuanbin almost harmed Gao Yuchuan, she subconsciously lowered her eyes and looked away.

At this time, Mrs. Gao made a dissatisfied voice: "Yuchuan, grandma is talking to you. What are you looking at?"

As she spoke, Mrs. Gao followed Gao Yuchuan's gaze and looked at Shen Yaochu.

Mrs. Gao's eyes instantly turned cold: "Who is that?"

Mrs. Gao asked knowingly, and the personal servant beside her immediately responded: "Old lady, that is Master Yuchuan's wife, her name is Shen Yaochu."

"You want to tell me?" Mrs. Gao glared at the servant: "I don't want to know her name."

Shen Yaochu lowered her head, trying to reduce her presence, but someone suddenly pushed her waist.

Shen Yaochu stumbled and almost fell in front of Mrs. Gao's eyes.

She closed her eyes and was waiting for the pain to come when she accidentally bumped into a broad embrace.

The familiar breath swept through Shen Yaochu's chest instantly. At this moment, she felt a sense of security inexplicably.

Shen Yaochu raised her eyelids and met Gao Yuchuan's eyes in the air.

Before Shen Yaochu could react, Gao Yuchuan had already stabilized him and then withdrew his hand.

It was as if he didn't want to touch her at all.

Even though he had looked at him with disgust many times, Shen Yaochu still felt uncomfortable in her chest.

Shen Yaochu pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and called out respectfully: "Hello, grandma."

Mrs. Gao frowned and looked dissatisfied at Shen Yaochu: "Who allowed you to call me grandma?"

Shen Yao choked up at first, surrounded by everyone in the Gao family who were watching the joke. Her scalp was slightly numb. Just when she didn't know how to answer, Gao Yuchuan beside her spoke before her.

"Grandma, this is my legal wife." Gao Yuchuan's voice was low and gentle, "She followed me."
