After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

Chapter 400 He came in person to plead for mercy.

"That's wonderful, so sweet. Ah Yao, thank you. I was thinking how wonderful it would be if I could have a great-granddaughter to complete the Chinese character for 'good' (好). Thank you for fulfilling my wish and allowing me to see my great-grandson and great-granddaughter in my lifetime. Thank you for giving me such a precious gift." The old lady's eyes were glistening with tears.

Gu Zhiyao took her arm and suddenly noticed that her hand had become much thinner. She also strongly felt that this kind and gentle old lady was getting older day by day.

“Grandma He, after this matter is over, I think I’ll find some time to bring Chenchen and Niu Niu back to see you. Niu Niu originally wanted to come back with me, but she said that since she confirmed her identity, she hasn’t officially met you yet, and that you must miss her very much. I was worried about her safety, so I didn’t let her come back, but I made a promise with her to bring her back for the Spring Festival.”

"Really? She really said that? You have good character, and your daughter takes after you, Ayao. Grandma has insisted on living until now, perhaps just to meet you. Don't worry, this time I will not let Zheng Yuanxi off the hook no matter what. If the law can't punish her, Grandma has other means!" The old lady's whole body turned cold as she finished speaking.

Gu Zhiyao nodded, moved. "The evidence is very conclusive, and the situation is getting better and better for us. Zheng Yuanxi definitely won't be able to escape this time!"

"Good! She'll definitely get what she deserves. And that girl from the Wen family, I always felt she wasn't a good person either. She and Zheng Yuanxi are like snakes and rats in a den. She must have been involved in a lot of what Zheng Yuanxi did, so we need to investigate her too and make her receive the punishment she deserves. Grandma will send someone to keep an eye on her. I want to eliminate all factors that are detrimental to Niu Niu and Chen Chen!"

Gu Zhiyao nodded slightly again, checked the time, and said, "Grandma He, would you like to video chat with Niu Niu?"

"Now? It's already daylight over there?"

"Yes." Gu Zhiyao opened her phone without delay and dialed Aunt Hua directly. After a while, a familiar little figure appeared on the phone screen.

"Mommy!" The little girl had just woken up, her eyes still sleepy and confused, she was incredibly cute.

The old lady immediately laughed heartily, "Niu Niu, my sweet baby."

Niu Niu finally opened her eyes wide when she heard the call. "Is that Great-Grandma? Great-Grandma, are you with my mom?"

"Yes, your great-grandmother invited your mother to dinner. Your mother knew that your great-grandmother missed you, so she quickly video-called you."

"Mom, you're so sweet! I love you. And I love Great-Grandma too! I'll come back to see you during Chinese New Year, and my brother too! We'll go shopping for New Year's goods and see the lanterns with you!"

"Great! Great-Grandma is so happy just thinking about it. She can't wait for tomorrow to be Chinese New Year!" The old lady was indeed excited and happy. Just thinking about that scene made her excited.

Gu Zhiyao sat next to the old lady and looked at the phone screen with her. Chenchen came over later, and the old lady was even more delighted, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Gu Zhiyao quickly took out the old lady's handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears, coaxing her softly. When He Yi stepped into the house, he saw this heartwarming scene.

He stood there, staring intently.

The old lady and Gu Zhiyao didn't notice him until the video ended.

Gu Zhiyao glanced at it briefly before quickly turning away, her face expressionless.

The old lady said, "You've come?"

He Yi also stepped forward.

"Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll have Aunt Li make you a bowl of noodles," the old lady continued, still reluctant to completely ignore her grandson.

"No need, I've already eaten," He Yi said.

The old lady then gave up and looked at Gu Zhiyao, "It's getting late, Ayao, you should go back. I'll have the driver take you."

"Thank you, Grandma He. I can call a car to go back."

"Why call for a car? We have a car at home." The old lady said, glancing at He Yi. She had originally planned to ask He Yi to give her a ride, but then she changed her mind.

Zhiyao doesn't want to see this silly grandson!

At the old lady's insistence, Gu Zhiyao had no choice but to accept her kindness and let the driver take her.

But just as she came out of the door, and while her driver, Uncle Zhang, went to the garage to bring the car over, He Yi suddenly came out as well.

He gazed at her with deep eyes, but Gu Zhiyao tried her best to remain calm and ignored him.

Uncle Zhang drove up and greeted He Yi when he saw him.

He Yi nodded to Uncle Zhang, and then looked at Gu Zhiyao, "You can ride in my car, so Uncle Zhang won't have to make a trip."

Gu Zhiyao froze, didn't answer him, and walked straight to Uncle Zhang's car.

He Yi tugged at her.

"Let go! Don't touch me!" Gu Zhiyao shouted angrily, her gaze cold and devoid of any warmth as she looked at him. "He Yi, I've said before that I don't want to see you, not even a little bit. Please, don't show your face in front of me!"

After saying that, she forcefully shook off his hand, opened the car door, and got in.

Uncle Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said to He Yi, "Young Master He Yi, I'll be leaving now." He then started the car, slowly drove out of the courtyard, and disappeared into the night.

He Yi stood there for a long time, staring at the spot where the car had disappeared, his eyes as dark as the night itself...

The next day, Gu Zhiyao encountered an uninvited guest: Zheng Yuanxi's grandmother!

"I'm sorry, Yao. I didn't know you and Yuanyuan had this kind of relationship. I know I shouldn't have come to you. Yuanyuan made a mistake and deserves to be punished, but her parents only have one daughter. It's our responsibility to discipline her. I've thought about it for a long time before I decided to come to you to beg for mercy. Can you give her a chance to change her ways? Just consider it as saving her life. Grandma will always remember your kindness!" The old lady looked guilty and sad. She probably felt embarrassed to speak, and it took her a while to say these words.

Gu Zhiyao came to the mall today to buy some things, but she didn't expect to run into the old lady. However, it seems that the old lady was looking for her specifically.

The fact that we met under such circumstances after only one meeting shows that our fate was extraordinary.

However, because she was Zheng Yuanxi's grandmother, Gu Zhiyao did not continue to have any contact with the old lady and thought she would never see her again in this lifetime.

I didn't expect that I would come here today specifically to plead for Zheng Yuanxi.

Gu Zhiyao felt no aversion or hatred towards the old lady; in fact, she had an indescribable feeling. However, she simply couldn't let Zheng Yuanxi go!

After some contemplation, Gu Zhiyao replied resolutely, "I'm sorry, Grandma Zheng. Zheng Yuanxi is incorrigible and has tried to harm me multiple times. She even set her sights on Niu Niu. If I don't bring her to justice, it's like giving her the opportunity to harm me again in the future. It's not that I don't trust you, but she's beyond redemption and has gone mad. No one can stop her evil deeds, so I can't let her go. I can't let my child face any irreparable danger to her life again. I'm so sorry, Grandma Zheng!"
