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

, giving this century-old building a golden luster. Su Li looked particularly lonely in the corridor. The inspection report tightly held in her hand seemed like a heavy burden, which made her breathless. She knew that some things could not be covered up, and she would have to face them sooner or later.

As expected, the news of Su Li's pregnancy spread quickly throughout the family like a gust of wind. For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the old house, and the family members had different reactions to it.

"What? The young lady is pregnant?"

"This is such a great joyous event! Our Gu family is finally going to have an heir!"

"But, Madam is in the rising stage of her career now, how can she..."

"Women, you still have to return to your family in the end. Supporting your husband and raising your children is the right path."

……

Various voices filled Su Li's ears, including blessings, concerns, doubts and oppositions. She knew that everyone had their own positions and ideas, and she could not force everyone to understand and support her.

At dinner time, the family members gathered together, but the atmosphere was extremely solemn. Su Li sat next to Gu Jinyan, feeling the scrutiny from all around, as if a thorn in her back.

"Lier, have you really decided to keep this child?" Old Man Gu, the family elder sitting in the main seat, asked in a deep voice, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Su Li took a deep breath, met Grandpa Gu's gaze, and said firmly: "Grandpa, this is my child, I will definitely give birth to him."

"Nonsense!" A family elder slammed the table and said angrily, "Do you know what your current status is? You are the young lady of the Gu family! Your every move is related to the reputation and future of the Gu family! How can you be so willful!"

"Yes, Li'er, you are still too young." Another elder also advised earnestly, "You are doing well in your career now, how can you give up everything for a child? You can have another child in the future, but if you miss this opportunity, you will never have a chance to turn things around!"

Su Li felt mixed emotions when she heard these words. She knew what kind of responsibility she had. But she was also a woman, a mother who longed to have her own child!

"Enough!" Gu Jinyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. He swept his stern eyes over everyone and said in a cold tone, "This is a matter between Li'er and me. It's not your turn to make decisions!"

His words were so powerful that they stunned everyone instantly. They looked at each other in bewilderment and dared not say anything more.

Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand, feeling the coldness of her palm, and hugged her in his arms with heartache, saying softly: "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."

Su Li leaned in Gu Jinyan's arms, feeling his warm embrace, and her heart was slightly relieved. However, she knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and the real test had just begun... Gu Jinyan looked at the weak but determined Su Li in his arms, and he knew that he was also in a dilemma. He hoped that Su Li could rest assured to take care of the baby and bring them a healthy baby. This was the fruit of their love and what he had always hoped for. But at the same time, he also knew Su Li's love and pursuit of her career. She was definitely not the kind of woman who was willing to be a canary. He didn't want to see Su Li give up herself and lose her original brilliance because of pregnancy.

At night, moonlight poured into the room through the window. Su Li and Gu Jinyan sat side by side on the sofa by the window, whispering.

"Jin Yan, I understand your concerns," Su Li gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, her eyes gentle but firm, "I won't give up everything just for the child. I will find a balance so that I can be a good mother and continue my career."

Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand, interlocking their fingers, feeling the warmth and strength of her palm, and was filled with emotion and admiration. "Li'er, thank you, thank you for understanding me so well, and thank you for being so strong. Don't worry, I will always be by your side and support every decision you make."

After a night of careful consideration, Su Li and Gu Jinyan made a common decision. They will face the challenges of the future together, taking good care of the family and contributing to the development of the family. They believe that as long as they love each other and support each other, they will be able to overcome all difficulties.

The next morning, Su Li and Gu Jinyan appeared hand in hand at the family meeting. They announced their decision to the family elders and all members, and expressed their sense of responsibility and mission to the family.

"We will do our best to work hard for the future of the Gu family," Su Li's voice was firm and powerful, "and we hope that everyone can respect our choice and give us support and encouragement."

Gu Jinyan stood beside Su Li, holding her hand firmly and giving her silent support.

At this moment, Gu Jinyan's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face instantly became serious.

"What's wrong?" Su Li noticed Gu Jinyan's change and asked softly.

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Something happened in the company..."

Gu Jinyan's face turned extremely ugly. He hurriedly picked up the phone, and the assistant's urgent voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss Gu, it's bad. The company's system has been hacked, a large amount of data has been leaked, and the stock price has begun to plummet..."

The knuckles of his fingers holding the phone turned white, and Gu Jinyan's brows were tightly locked together. An unprecedented sense of crisis surged in his heart. He quickly ended the call and looked at Su Li with an apologetic and worried look in his eyes, "There is an emergency in the company, and I have to rush back to deal with it immediately."

Su Li felt the seriousness of the situation. She did not hesitate at all and firmly held Gu Jinyan's hand: "I will go with you."

In the family meeting room, the elders looked at each other, and the family members began to whisper. The atmosphere suddenly became solemn. Gu Jinyan briefly explained the company's situation to everyone and said that he would handle this crisis as soon as possible.

Gu Jinyan and Su Li did not stop for a moment, they rushed back to the company headquarters as quickly as possible.

The Gu Group Building, a landmark building that used to symbolize prosperity and stability, was now shrouded in a haze. In the company lobby, employees looked panicked and talked about it. The news of the stock price crash spread like a virus.

Gu Jinyan and Su Li walked through the crowd with solemn expressions and headed straight for the office on the top floor. In the office, the company's executives were already waiting anxiously, and everyone's face was full of worry and uneasiness.

"What's the situation?" Gu Jinyan went straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.

The technical director reported with sweat on his forehead: "The initial judgment is that it was done by a foreign hacker group. The attack method is very professional. We are doing our best to repair the system, but it will take time to restore the data."

The PR director went on to say, “The stock price has fallen by 10 percent and is still falling. All major media outlets are reporting on this, and the negative impact is huge.”

Gu Jinyan listened calmly. He understood that this was a carefully planned attack. The opponent was coming with great force and their target was directly aiming at the foundation of Gu Group.

He took a deep breath, his eyes firm and sharp, and ordered in a deep voice: "The technical department will do its best to repair the system and find out the hacker's identity and the purpose of the attack as soon as possible; the public relations department will activate the emergency plan, control public opinion, and stabilize the stock price; the legal department will collect evidence and prepare to deal with possible lawsuits."

He turned to look at Su Li, his eyes full of trust and determination, "Li'er, in this crisis, we need to fight side by side."

Su Li met his gaze without flinching, her eyes gleaming with determination.

As night fell, the Gu Group Building was brightly lit. Gu Jinyan and Su Li held hands and stood in front of the huge French window, overlooking the night view of the entire city. In the distance, there were busy cars and flashing neon lights, but in the near distance, the Gu Group Building was like an isolated island, surrounded by darkness and wind and rain.

"We will get through this difficult time." Su Li's voice was firm and gentle. She held Gu Jinyan's hand tightly, giving him strength and support.

Gu Jinyan turned his head and looked at Su Li affectionately. He knew that no matter how many storms lay ahead, as long as she was by his side, he would have nothing to fear.

The next day, Gu Group held an emergency board meeting, and everyone's eyes were focused on Su Li in the center of the conference room.

"I think we should..." Su Li took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
