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

Chapter 273 This is what you'll never have!

He Yi reassured her with his eyes, then stepped forward and casually asked the old lady, "Grandma, how are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

The old lady continued to stare at Zheng Yuanxi and asked in a cold voice, "Yuanyuan, tell me honestly, is Chenchen not your biological child, but someone you snatched from Gu Zhiyao?"

Despite having prepared beforehand, Zheng Yuanxi still felt a tremor in her heart, and He Yi immediately said, "Grandma..."

"Ah Yi, I didn't ask you, so you don't need to answer now. I'm asking her now, and you'll have to explain to me later!" the old lady interrupted him.

He Yijian frowned slightly as usual, wanting to continue speaking up for Zheng Yuanxi. At this moment, Zheng Yuanxi suddenly said slowly, "Grandma, I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't have hidden it, but Ayi and I have been in love for many years. I didn't want you to be sad, so I came up with this solution. I promised to give Gu Zhiyao a large sum of money back then."

"But she told me that you tried to kill her time and time again. You gave her abortion pills to make her miscarry her first child. And when she gave birth to Chenchen, you also tried to kill her. You usually appear kind and harmless, but you actually have a vicious heart!" The old lady's eyes became even more piercing.

"No, Grandma, it's all a misunderstanding!" Zheng Yuanxi hurriedly said, "I panicked the first time. I was shocked and indignant when I found out that Gu Zhiyao was pregnant because I always thought that Ayi belonged to me completely. I felt like my sky had collapsed. I was afraid that she would take Ayi away. So when Wenya made this suggestion, I did it. But I never thought of taking Gu Zhiyao's life. I just didn't want that child to be born. Besides, Ayi didn't want that child either. He tried every means to get rid of the child, and even agreed to give Gu Zhiyao 100 million yuan to get rid of the child. That child was something she secretly got pregnant behind Ayi's back. If people told others, they would laugh at Ayi and point fingers at him."

"Whatever you say is right, it's all for A-Yi's sake, but whether that's really the case remains to be proven! And how do you explain that Zhi-Yao almost lost her life on her birthday?"

“I don’t know either. I pretended to give birth and stayed in the delivery room the whole time. I had no idea what was going on there. Besides, Gu Zhiyao had already arranged for a man who grew up in the same orphanage as her to accompany her. That man is a biologist and the heir to a large corporation in Canada. With him there, no one else could do anything they wanted. We were surprised at first and thought she had died in childbirth. It wasn’t until she came back recently that we found out that we had all been fooled. She faked her death and went abroad, and came back a few years later to fight for Chenchen. It was all planned by her!” Zheng Yuanxi became more and more calm and spoke these words with ease.

Of course, the old lady wouldn't believe her so quickly. She still didn't give Zheng Yuanxi a friendly look, and turned to He Yi, saying, "Ayi, now it's your turn to tell us, is everything Yuanyuan said just now true? Is every word she said factual? Without the slightest falsehood?"

He Yi pursed his lips, looked at Zheng Yuanxi who was trembling all over, and then at the old lady whose face was pale. It was obvious that the knot in her heart had not been completely untied.

Fearing that the old lady would be enraged again, he resolutely said, "Grandma, Yuanyuan is right. Gu Zhiyao and I... we were indeed together for a while. She liked me for a long time, and she used the opportunity of donating bone marrow to Yuanyuan to blackmail me into marrying her. I was very angry and did some things to punish her. It was her first pregnancy, and I really didn't want the child to be born because the person I love is Yuanyuan, and the person I plan to grow old with is Yuanyuan. I can't give Gu Zhiyao and the child any status. Rather than let the child be born and suffer for a lifetime, it's better to get rid of it before it's fully formed."

I just didn't expect such an accident to happen. After that incident, Yuanyuan was very regretful and often had nightmares. It was probably the worst thing she had ever done, and she was very restless. Later, I told her that she gradually distanced herself from Wenya. As for the accident that happened on Gu Zhiyao's birthday, I had people investigate, and there was no evidence to suggest that Gu Zhiyao was framed by Yuanyuan. It should just be... an accident.”

After He Yi finished speaking, the ward fell silent.

The old lady looked back and forth between He Yi and Zheng Yuanxi, still not completely believing them. Zheng Yuanxi was uneasy inside, but she tried her best to maintain a calm and open demeanor on the surface, while He Yi remained calm.

Unbeknownst to them, Gu Zhiyao was right outside the ward!

She couldn't hold back any longer and rushed to the hospital before Chenchen could call back, only to hear these words.

Despite having told herself long ago not to pay any more attention to this man, and despite knowing that he had always protected Zheng Yuanxi, she still didn't expect that he would lie so blatantly for Zheng Yuanxi's sake!

How can there be such a shameless man in this world?

And yet she fell in love with such a man, and for him she suffered one devastating injury, pain and despair after another, almost ruining her life!

Last night, when she cried in his arms, she was almost moved to tears when she heard him gently comforting her...

How ridiculous, Gu Zhiyao!

Did you see that clearly?

This is something you'll never get!

No matter how hard you try or how much you give, he will never love you. His love will only be for Zheng Yuanxi! For Zheng Yuanxi, he is even capable of twisting right and wrong, and might even take your life!

Gu Zhiyao leaned weakly against the wall, covering her face, tears streaming down her face.

"Zhiyao?" A call filled with doubt and surprise suddenly rang out.

Gu Zhiyao slowly raised her head, and through her blurred vision, she saw Tan Yifei's gentle and refined face.

Tan Yifei continued with concern, "What's wrong? What happened? How did you get here?"

Gu Zhiyao remained silent, slowly wiping away her tears, and then walked away.

Yifei hurriedly followed.

They walked to the small terrace at the end of the corridor. Gu Zhiyao leaned on the railing, staring blankly at the sky.

Yifei first quietly stayed with her for a while, and then tried to ask about the situation.

Gu Zhiyao finally spoke hesitantly, "It's okay, Yifei. I'll tell you everything when I feel ready."

Uh—Yifei couldn't help but become even more curious, but he didn't want to make things difficult for her, so he didn't press her further. Just then, his phone rang.

His mother called him, asking, "Where are you?"

“I was on this floor and I saw my uncle and aunt coming over. It seemed like they had something to say to my great-grandmother, so I came out first.”

"They've already gone back. Why don't you come and keep Great-Grandma company? I have a meeting later."

"Okay, I understand." Tan Yifei hung up the phone and then said to Gu Zhi, "My great-grandmother suddenly fainted in that ward just now, but she's fine now. My mom and uncle are both very busy, so I'll spend more time with my great-grandmother since I have some free time. By the way, do you want to go see my great-grandmother? She's a very nice person."

Gu Zhiyao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

There was only one special nurse watching over the old lady in the ward. Tan Yifei asked the nurse to leave first, and then brought Gu Zhiyao to the old lady's bedside, calling out, "Great-Grandma."

The old lady slowly opened her eyes, which had been closed, and was taken aback when she saw Gu Zhiyao.
