After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the garden, casting a warm glow on the flowers and plants. Su Li gently pushed the stroller, enjoying the rare quiet afternoon.

Suddenly, a low voice came from the pavilion not far away, and she subconsciously slowed down her pace.

"Don't worry, we'll get the document soon. Gu Jinyan is so obsessed with his wife and children right now that he has no time to think about these things..." It was Aunt Gu's voice, with a hint of pride and ruthlessness in her tone, "...when the time is right, all of this will be ours..."

Su Li was shocked. What exactly was the "document" that Gu Dagu was talking about? Why did she do this behind Gu Jinyan's back? The seeds of uneasiness quietly sprouted in her heart. She pushed the stroller away calmly, but Gu Dagu's words kept echoing in her mind.

After returning to the room, Su Li couldn't calm down for a long time. She told Gu Jinyan about her discovery, and Gu Jinyan's face became solemn.

"It seems that the inheritance dispute is just the beginning." Gu Jinyan said in a deep voice, "My aunt's real target is probably the shares in our hands."

In order to find out the truth, Gu Jinyan contacted a lawyer and started an investigation. The lawyer worked very efficiently and soon made a new discovery: Gu Dagu had recently been in close contact with a company that competed with the Gu Group, and the person in charge of this company was the mysterious man who supported Gu Dagu in the battle for the inheritance.

"It seems that this is not just a simple family fight, there is a bigger business conspiracy behind it." Gu Jinyan looked at the investigation materials in his hand with a frown.

In order to protect the interests of the family, and more importantly, to protect Su Li and the child, Gu Jinyan decided to take the initiative. He began to quietly collect evidence of Gu Dagu's crimes, and at the same time strengthened the supervision within the company to prevent Gu Dagu from secretly taking action.

However, Gu Dagu seemed to have been prepared. She acted cautiously and without leaving any holes, and Gu Jinyan could not find any solid evidence against her.

One night, Gu Jinyan told the results of the investigation to the elder of the family, hoping that he could come forward to stop Gu Dagu's conspiracy. However, although the elder of the family was angry about Gu Dagu's behavior, he could not take action easily due to the lack of direct evidence.

"Jin Yan, I know you are anxious, but we also need to pay attention to evidence." Family elder B said earnestly, "I will continue to pay attention to this matter, and you must also be careful."

Walking out of the study, Gu Jinyan clenched his fists, feeling powerless. He knew that the battle had just begun, and he and Su Li were about to face even more dangerous undercurrents and traps.

When he returned to the room, he saw Su Li sitting by the bed, her eyes full of worry. He walked over, gently held her in his arms, and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Su Li raised her head and looked at Gu Jinyan's determined eyes, and her heart was slightly relieved. But she knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and greater challenges were still to come...

As the night deepened, the Gu family's old house was shrouded in an atmosphere of unease.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan came out of the study of the family elder B, both of them looked a little solemn. Although the elder B's words were gentle, the helplessness revealed between the lines made their hearts sink.

"It seems that we can only rely on ourselves." Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand tightly, with a hint of firmness in his tone.

Su Li nodded gently, but her heart was full of worry. The evidence they had was too weak, and Gu Dagu was like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to give them a fatal blow at any time.

What makes them even more uneasy is that Gu Dagu starts to spread rumors within the family, trying to alienate them from other family members. She implies that Su Li married into the Gu family for ulterior motives, and stirs up the relationship between Gu Jinyan and his brothers and sisters, portraying them as unscrupulous fighters for the family fortune.

"Have you heard? I heard that Su Li..."

"Ah, Jin Yan has been really acting like that recently. For a few shares, he even let his own brothers..."

Rumors spread like an invisible blade within the Gu family, and a crack appeared in the originally harmonious family relationship. Some relatives who did not know the truth began to become cold and even suspicious of Su Li and Gu Jinyan.

"These rumors are so hateful!" Su Li put down the teacup in her hand angrily, and the tea splashed onto the table. Just like her mood at the moment, she couldn't calm down.

Gu Jinyan gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, those who are innocent will be innocent. We are not afraid of our own shadows if we are upright."

However, the development of the matter is more difficult than they imagined. Gu Dagu's conspiracy is not limited to the family, she seems to have extended her hand to the company.

The next day, Gu Jinyan held a high-level meeting in the company to announce an important investment plan. However, just as the meeting began, it was questioned by several department heads.

"Boss Gu, this plan is too risky. Should we reconsider it carefully?"

"Yes, the company's capital chain is already tight right now. What if..."

The management team that used to obey Gu Jinyan's orders was now acting in an uncharacteristic way and raised objections. Gu Jinyan was keenly aware that there seemed to be an invisible force behind all this.

His eyes swept across the conference room and finally stopped at the financial director. This financial director was Gu Dagu's confidant and had always been at odds with him.

"Director Wang, what do you think?" Gu Jin asked calmly, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Director Wang pushed up his glasses, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I am just discussing the matter at hand, for the sake of the company's development."

"Really?" Gu Jinyan sneered and was about to open his mouth to refute, but suddenly received a text message from his assistant.

He opened the text message and his face instantly became gloomy.

"What's wrong?" Su Li noticed his abnormality and asked in a low voice.

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath, handed her the phone, and said in a low voice: "It seems that our troubles are even bigger..."

Su Li took the phone, his eyes fell on the screen, and his expression turned ugly.

The content of the text message was simple, but it exploded in their hearts like a heavy bomb:

"The project plan was leaked, and competitors have already made plans in advance..."

Su Li looked at the information on her phone and felt a chill running from her feet to her heart. The project plan was the company's top secret, how could it be leaked? And the competitor's actions were so fast, obviously they were well prepared. All this pointed to a terrible possibility: there was a traitor inside the company.

Gu Jinyan suppressed his anger and said calmly to everyone: "Today's meeting ends here. I will find out the truth as soon as possible."

After the meeting, Gu Jinyan immediately started investigating the leak. He retrieved the company's internal surveillance video and checked the relevant personnel one by one. However, the investigation reached a dead end, and all clues pointed to a dead end.

At the same time, Su Li is also facing unprecedented pressure within the company. After the leak, some employees began to question her and Gu Jinyan's leadership ability, and work efficiency was also affected. The originally united team seemed to fall apart overnight.

"Manager Su, there seems to be something wrong with this document. Please check it again."

"Manager Su, the client is pressing us hard. When can you revise the plan?"

"Manager Su..."

Facing the constant questioning and urging from colleagues, Su Li felt exhausted physically and mentally. She knew that all this was caused by Gu Dagu behind the scenes. Gu Dagu's purpose was very clear, which was to make her and Gu Jinyan lose the support of the company and eventually be driven out of Gu Group.

To make matters worse, a family gathering pushed Su Li to the forefront.

It was a family dinner held in the old house of the Gu family, and all the relatives were present. During the dinner, Gu Dagu deliberately mentioned Gu Jinyan's white moonlight in front of everyone, and said in a gloomy tone: "Su Li, although you married Jinyan, there are some things that cannot be forced. After all, a forced melon is not sweet."

Su Li's face turned pale, and she suppressed the grievance in her heart and said nothing.

"Aunt, what do you mean by this?" Gu Jinyan asked in a deep voice, with a hint of anger in his tone.

"I don't mean anything." Aunt Gu smiled innocently and continued, "I'm just worried that Su Li will be sad. After all, Jin Yan has always had someone else in his heart, and everyone knows that."

"That's enough!" Gu Jinyan stood up suddenly, his face livid, "It's none of your business to interfere in my affairs!"

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Gu Dagu retorted, "Do you dare to say that you don't have her in your heart? Do you dare to say that you didn't marry Su Li to get revenge on me?"

"You..." Gu Jinyan was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Su Li couldn't bear it any longer. She stood up suddenly, picked up the red wine glass on the table, and poured it towards Gu Dagu.

"Ah!" Gu Dagu screamed, her face covered with red wine.

The scene was suddenly in chaos and everyone was stunned, unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.

"Su Li, are you crazy?!" Gu Dagu roared, her voice sharp and piercing.

Su Li took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She looked at Gu Dagu and said word by word: "I'm telling you, I'm not a substitute for anyone, and I'm not a tool for you to take revenge on! I love Gu Jinyan, and he loves me too. It's not your turn to interfere in what happens between us!"

After saying that, Su Li took Gu Jinyan's hand and left the banquet hall without looking back.

The night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind was blowing. Su Li and Gu Jinyan walked on the quiet street, and no one spoke.

"I'm sorry for making you feel wronged." Gu Jinyan broke the silence, his tone full of apology.

Su Li shook her head, leaned gently on his shoulder, and whispered, "It's okay, I believe you."

However, what they didn't know was that a bigger storm was quietly approaching...

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind: "Hello, it seems I'm here at the right time."

Su Li and Gu Jinyan turned around at the same time, only to see a tall figure standing under the street light with a meaningful smile on his face. Under the dim street light, Gu Dagu's face, which was covered with powder, looked particularly gloomy. There was a sneer on the corner of her mouth, and she seemed very satisfied with the oppressive feeling she brought at the moment. Su Li and Gu Jinyan's hearts sank, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

"Aunt, what do you want to do?" Gu Jinyan stepped forward, protected Su Li behind him, and asked in a cold tone.

Gu Dagu seemed not to have heard his words. She took out a document from her bag and threw it in front of them. "Take a look. This is good stuff."

Su Li picked up the document, and in the dim light of the street lamp, she saw that the document had "Inheritance Division Agreement" written on it. Before she could take a closer look, Aunt Gu's sharp voice rang in her ears: "Why? Are you curious about why I have this agreement? Don't worry, you will know soon."

Gu Dagu smiled smugly, as if she had seen their desperate expressions. At this moment, a black car stopped quietly by the roadside, the door opened, and a middle-aged man in a black suit got out.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Su, sorry for the long wait." The man walked up to them, bowed slightly, and spoke respectfully.

"Who are you?" Gu Jinyan looked at him puzzledly, searching his mind for memories of this man, but found nothing.

"I'm the old man's lawyer. You can call me Lawyer Wang." The man pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and explained calmly, "The old man made a will before he died, leaving part of his estate to Miss Su, and specifically asked me to make the will public at the right time."

Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other in surprise. They had never thought that Mr. Gu would actually leave an inheritance to Su Li. The smile on Gu Dagu's face froze. She looked at Lawyer Wang in disbelief and asked in a sharp voice: "This is impossible! How could the old man leave the inheritance to her? You must be mistaken!"

Lawyer Wang remained calm as he pulled out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Aunt Gu. "Ms. Gu, you can take a look at this will. It has the old man's autograph and the notary office's seal."

Gu Dagu snatched the document and looked at it carefully, her face becoming more and more ugly. She knew that the will was real because she had seen the old man sign the document with her own eyes.

"Impossible... This is impossible..." Gu Dagu fell weakly on a bench by the roadside, muttering to herself.

Su Li looked at the scene in front of her with mixed feelings. She didn't know whether she should be happy about this unexpected inheritance or sad about Gu Dagu's misconduct.

Lawyer Wang saw all of this. He sighed softly and said to Su Li and Gu Jinyan, "Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, the old man asked me to tell you something..." He paused, lowered his voice, and said slowly, "Be careful of Aunt Gu. She is not as simple as she seems..."
