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

Chapter 267 I heard the name Ah Xue again

"Xiaoyu, why don't you go for a walk with your sister Zhiyao?" Lin Houze said.

Xiaoyu was taken aback again, then said, "Okay, Mr. Lin."

Lin Houze and Gu Zhiyao exchanged a glance. "I will continue to follow up on this matter and see if we can come up with a better solution. Remember, don't rush, and don't always think of things in the worst possible light. It's not that pessimistic."

Gu Zhiyao nodded and went out with Xiaoyu.

"Sister Zhiyao, what happened? Can you tell me?" Xiaoyu asked, looking at Gu Zhiyao with concern as she walked.

Gu Zhiyao hesitated for a moment before explaining the situation.

After hearing this, Xiaoyu said, "Sister Zhiyao, I remember when you helped me find evidence, you were also very helpless. You tried everything but couldn't get what you hoped for. But you didn't give up and continued to run around. In the end, you found the evidence. So I think God is always on the side of justice."

“That was true at the time, but Xiaoyu, I’ve experienced too much injustice, which has gradually erased my beliefs.”

“I understand how you feel. You feel the same way I did back then. I was very angry and desperate, and even thought about taking my own life. You saved me from the brink of hell. Now I hope to play this role for you. Sister Zhiyao, since President Lin entrusted this case to me, and I am deeply indebted to you, please believe me, I will definitely be able to help you!”

Who could have imagined that the girl, once filled with despair and whose eyes were filled with pain, would transform into such a strong and courageous person? Back then, she worried that Xiaoyu wouldn't be able to overcome that trauma, but she not only bravely emerged from it but also became so outstanding. Perhaps that incident will stay with Xiaoyu for the rest of her life, but she has learned to adjust herself and firmly suppress it deep within her heart!

"Xiaoyu, thank you for your comfort and encouragement. I really shouldn't be so pessimistic. We got through so much hardship back then, and we can get through it now too." Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but become optimistic as well.

"Yes. Sister Zhiyao, let's go shopping. I really like your outfits. I want to buy a dress. I hope you can help me choose one."

"Okay."

There are many large shopping malls near the company, and they strolled through the women's clothing stores one by one.

With Gu Zhiyao's help, Xiaoyu bought the dress she wanted.

Seeing Xiaoyu's satisfied and admiring expression, Gu Zhiyao felt more relaxed. A little later, when Xiaoyu went to the restroom, she found a place to sit and happened to see an old lady trip and fall. She went over to help her up.

The old lady thanked her, looked up to see her clearly, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Ah Xue?"

Gu Zhiyao was immediately shocked.

This wasn't the first time she'd been called by that name.

I remember Zheng Yuanxi's grandmother called her that last time, but this old lady in front of me...

"Grandma, I'm sorry, you may have mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Xue, my surname is Gu."

"Your surname is Gu?" The old lady scrutinized her. "You are indeed not Xue, Xue is no longer here, but you really look like Xue when she was young."

Gu Zhiyao smiled, noticing that the old lady also looked wealthy and noble. She looked around and asked, "Grandma, did you come out alone?"

“I originally had bodyguards and a nanny with me, but I found them too annoying and they wouldn’t give me what I wanted to eat, so I got rid of them!”

Uh?

Gu Zhiyao thought to herself, "Is this a mischievous old lady?"

"By the way, you just said your surname is Gu... So what's your name?"

Gu Zhiyao thought for a moment and then lied, "My name is Gu Yao."

"Gu Yao, shall I call you A Yao? The A Xue you just heard me mention is actually a girl I've watched grow up since she was little. She's more than twenty years older than you, isn't she? She has a sweet tongue and is very kind, but she's also very mischievous. She always makes me very happy. I originally wanted her to be my daughter-in-law, and A Xue also liked my son, but unfortunately, my son didn't like her."

Ah Xue was such a good girl, but my son only liked another woman. Later, Ah Xue met a heartless man and insisted on being with him. Everyone disapproved of their relationship, and I also thought Ah Xue was just being stubborn and going with that heartless man out of spite. Who knew that two years later, we would receive the devastating news that Ah Xue had passed away. If I had been more firm back then and forced my rascal to stay, Ah Xue wouldn't have left this world so soon!

The old lady burst into tears as she spoke.

Gu Zhiyao was also shocked. She didn't know if what she heard was true or false. After all, it was the first time she had met the old lady. Even if she had helped the old lady, the old lady shouldn't have told her such a private matter.

"I really hope you are Ah Xue, that Ah Xue is still alive!" the old lady continued.

"Grandma, please accept my condolences." Gu Zhiyao said comfortingly.

The old lady was still very sad. Gu Zhiyao was kind-hearted, so she continued to comfort the old lady. The old lady became even more tearful and said that she and Xue were so alike. "Xue used to comfort me like this. Girl, you are so much like her. I wish you were her. Why aren't you her?"

Gu Zhiyao didn't know what to say, so she could only hold the old man tightly.

At this moment, Xiaoyu also came over. Confused by the situation, she looked at Gu Zhiyao with her eyes and asked what was going on.

Gu Zhiyao silently told her that she would explain later. Just then, the old lady's phone rang. It was the nanny calling, and the old lady gave her address.

After hanging up the phone, the old lady asked Gu Zhiyao, "By the way, Zhiyao, could you give me your contact number?"

Normally, this shouldn't be given, but Gu Zhiyao felt sorry for the old lady and entered her own number into her phone.

A moment later, a figure ran over; it looked like the old lady's caregiver.

Seeing this, Gu Zhiyao also took her leave.

"Ah Yao, remember to answer when I call you," the old lady instructed.

Gu Zhiyao smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Then he left with Xiaoyu.

Little did she know that He Yi would appear shortly after she left.

The old lady she met was none other than the old lady of the He family!

When the nanny discovered that the old lady was missing, she was so frightened that she immediately reported it to He Yi. He Yi happened to be meeting a guest nearby, so he rushed over as well.

"Grandma, how can you abandon them for a bite to eat? What if something happens?" He Yi was genuinely worried, and sweat was beading on his forehead.

The old lady pouted and said, "I'm perfectly fine, you're making a fuss over nothing."

Well—everyone felt a bit helpless.

The old lady looked at He Yi and suddenly said, "I did fall just now, and a young lady helped me up in time. That young lady was so kind. It's a pity you're married, otherwise I could have betrothed her to you!"

Hearing this, He Yi was also shocked. He was curious about who the woman his grandmother was talking about was and why his grandmother would have such a thought.
