My Dominant Contract Husband Won't Let Me Go-Chapter 529: Baby, Good Morning (9)

Nanny Zhang saw she couldn’t persuade her, so she stopped trying, served her a cup of tea, and then stepped back.

Zhou Yalin sat in the magnificent hall, drinking cup after cup of tea, waiting bit by bit, almost exhausting all her patience for a lifetime today.

Nanny Zhang checked the time, two hours had passed, and Zhou Yalin was still sitting there steadily, her face showing anxiety, yet she was suppressing it hard.

She glanced at her, then turned and headed towards the master bedroom on the second floor.

Mrs. Gu had already woken up, sitting in front of the dressing table, slowly applying skincare products. Seeing Nanny Zhang come in, she spoke indifferently, "Yalin hasn’t left yet?"

"Yes, she’s still waiting."

Mrs. Gu snorted with a laugh, saying with no particular emotion, "She sure has plenty of patience this time."

To be honest, she truly liked Zhou Yalin. After all, she had watched her grow up and chosen her as her daughter-in-law, but unfortunately, she couldn’t win over Ning Yi’s heart.

Like mud that can’t be helped up on a wall, a waste of all the effort she put in over the years.

Mrs. Gu took a light breath, slowly finished her skincare routine, and then got up, "Let’s go, we should at least meet once more."

Mrs. Gu slowly descended the spiral staircase, and Zhou Yalin immediately stood up, nodding towards Mrs. Gu. Her eyes turned red before she could even call out ’Aunt’.

Mrs. Gu walked over slowly, sat on the sofa, and then glanced at her, her voice softening, "Sit down."

This attitude of Mrs. Gu gave Zhou Yalin some solace to her constantly anxious heart. She knew that although Aunt Gu might be angry with her, she still cared for her, so she would definitely help her!

As soon as Zhou Yalin sat down, with red eyes, she couldn’t wait to speak, "Aunt, I’m here today because..."

But Mrs. Gu raised her hand, interrupting her. She looked up at her and nodded, "Yalin, if you came today just to see Aunt, I welcome you wholeheartedly. Although you and Ning Yi aren’t destined to be husband and wife, you are still my niece."

She paused for a moment, then continued: "But if you came today to talk about ending the cooperation between the Gu Family and the Zhou Family, Aunt cannot help you. Business matters have always been under your uncle and Ning Yi’s control, and there’s nothing Aunt can do, do you understand?"

Before the words were even spoken, the path was abruptly cut off. Zhou Yalin widened her eyes in disbelief, shaking her head vigorously, "No, no, Aunt, we’re at our wit’s end already. Ever since Ning Yi announced the termination of the cooperation, our company’s stock price has been plummeting, many shareholders are beginning to divest, and many other partners want to reassess their cooperation with us. If this continues, our company is going to collapse soon. Aunt, please help us. As long as you’re willing, you can definitely help us!"

As Zhou Yalin spoke, her tears fell like a river bursting its banks, uncontrollably. Her hands involuntarily grasped Mrs. Gu’s hands, her voice mingling with tears.

Mrs. Gu quietly listened to her words, her expression unchanged, only a hint of pity in her eyes, "Yalin, your family’s situation is indeed regrettable, but this time, Aunt really can’t help you."

Saying this, she glanced at the clock on the wall, then continued, "I have some matters to attend to later, so I won’t keep you. Nanny Zhang, please see Yalin out."

Worldly affairs are cold, this is a truth Zhou Yalin does not fail to understand, but she never thought even Aunt Gu would be this way, even treating her like this. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Aunt, burning the bridge after crossing the river, is that what you’re doing now...?"
