Chapter 293 Formal Lawsuit Filed to Fight for Custody

Seeing Zheng Yuanxi's sorrowful tears and her pleading with her, completely different from the noble and aloof socialite of Yuncheng that He Xi remembered, He Xi, as a woman herself, felt quite heartbroken. Besides, this was her brother's wife, and her brother clearly cared about her a lot. So she quickly took Zheng Yuanxi's arm and comforted her, "Alright, Yuanyuan, don't be so sad. I'll ask for you, I'll ask for you, okay?"

Zheng Yuanxi was taken aback, then said gratefully, "Thank you, sister. I will always remember your great kindness!"

"Uh, no need to be so polite. We're all family. Hurry up and wipe away your tears. It will break Ayi's heart if he finds out." He hope continued to look at the pitiful Zheng Yuanxi, feeling a pang of sympathy in his heart.

Zheng Yuanxi sniffed, wiped away her tears, and then lowered her head slightly. Where He hope couldn't see, a cold and shrewd light flashed in her eyes.

Unfortunately, even when He hope asked the old lady, she still wouldn't tell the truth. Instead, she took the opportunity to scold He Xi, saying, "A Yi likes her, and there's nothing I can do about it. Xi Xi, I don't want you to be fooled by her. Don't be fooled by her gentle and harmless appearance, or even her pitiful look. She's not simple at all. Don't get involved in their affairs!"

He hope wasn't really happy about being scolded by her grandmother, but she couldn't argue with her, so she could only say, "Grandma, I just thought that A Yi likes her and that it's impossible for him to be separated from her in this lifetime, so I decided to find out the truth. After all, it's A Yi who's caught in the middle and in a difficult position. You don't want A Yi to be bothered by this kind of thing every day, do you? He's already busy enough with the company, and his time and energy should be spent on his great career!"

"Then tell Zheng Yuanxi to do less bad things. If she really cared about Ayi, she wouldn't have caused such a commotion. In short, don't let her take advantage of you."

After all, she was her grandmother who had been with her for decades. He hope knew her grandmother's personality and knew that she really wouldn't tell her the reason. Not wanting to have a conflict with her grandmother, she simply stopped asking and comforted Zheng Yuanxi, telling her not to overthink it and that her grandmother wasn't targeting her in any particular way.

Zheng Yuanxi naturally didn't believe it. She guessed that either He hope couldn't persuade the old lady, or He hope knew about it but didn't tell her and was on the same side as the old lady. She was more inclined to believe the latter, so she was resentful and kept thinking of ways to get rid of Gu Zhiyao.

Meanwhile, Gu Zhiyao suddenly received a call from Canada asking her to bring her team back to China.

Actually, this trip lasted nearly three months, and the project was almost finished. According to the original itinerary, we should have returned in the next few days.

Gu Zhiyao just felt unwilling because she hadn't fulfilled her wish yet.

She confided in Xiao Lin, "I originally planned to take revenge on Zheng Yuanxi and Wen Ya, and then get Chenchen back, but three months have passed and I haven't achieved any of my goals. Brother Xiao, I'm really unwilling to accept this! Why am I still so useless!"

Zhiyao, it's not that you're useless, it's that you underestimated He Yi's favoritism towards Zheng Yuanxi!

Of course, Xiao Lin didn't dare to say this directly to Gu Zhiyao. He could only comfort her, "It's okay, we'll take it one step at a time. Although this trip back to China didn't completely achieve your goal, you actually gained a lot. You saw Chenchen and formed a good friendship with him. You met many of your old friends and let everyone know that you are still alive and well. You also met Grandma He. These were all beyond your plans, so let's take it easy. And I believe your wish will eventually come true."

"Will I? But what excuse will I use to come back next time? Unless I quit this job? But that's impossible, and I don't want to quit."

"Of course you don't need to quit. When you come back next time, you don't need to use any work-related reasons. Zhiyao, when we return next time, we will directly file a lawsuit! The day before yesterday, a friend of mine told me that he knows a very powerful overseas legal team. They all have domestic licenses, and we can entrust them to handle the case. I had a brief chat with them. Based on your situation, the chances of winning custody of Chenchen are 90%!"

Gu Zhiyao immediately opened her eyes wide, "Brother Xiao, what you said..."

"Yes, it's all true. I was originally planning to tell you when we got back to Canada, but I didn't want you to be discouraged or upset, so I told you now. We'll meet with the team as soon as we get back, discuss the details of the lawsuit as quickly as possible, and try to file a formal lawsuit within the next month!"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xiao Lin." Gu Zhiyao choked up.

"You're welcome." Xiao Lin patted her head, looking at her with gentle eyes, just like when they were children.

Next, they began preparing to leave. Before leaving, Gu Zhiyao naturally wanted to see her son, so she simply made a request to the old lady.

The old lady was surprised and saddened to learn that she was going back to Canada.

Gu Zhiyao saw the old lady's intentions and felt a warmth in her heart, but she still refrained from telling the old lady that she would be coming back next month to formally fight for custody. After chatting with the old lady for a while, she asked to see Chenchen before leaving. The old lady naturally agreed and made the arrangements immediately.

Upon seeing her son, Gu Zhiyao immediately burst into tears. She then repeatedly stroked his head, her cherry lips trembling, as she tried several times to tell him that she was his biological mother.

"Auntie, you're welcome to come back anytime you miss me, or I can go to Canada to see you? I can go with Brother Yifei, and next time Dad goes to Canada on a business trip, I can ask him to take me with him." The little guy felt a strange feeling when he saw Gu Zhiyao crying. Although he knew that his aunt was probably reluctant to part with him, her reaction seemed a bit too intense.

However, he still thoughtfully offered comfort and even raised his hand to wipe away Gu Zhiyao's tears.

Seeing this, Gu Zhiyao burst into tears again, wishing that time could stand still so she could enjoy this precious warmth forever.

But time waits for no one, and she still had to part with her son. She held his hand tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing this, the old lady couldn't help but shed tears. "I'm so sorry, Yao. Grandma is so sorry. Chenchen is clearly your child, but you have to suffer the pain of separation from your own flesh and blood. Just tell Grandma what you want. Grandma will grant you whatever she can do."

Grandma He, I only have one request, and that is that I want Chenchen, but you won't agree, will you?

Gu Zhiyao looked at the kind old man with teary eyes, her heart almost breaking. After a while, she finally held back from saying what was on her mind, and with a determined heart, she left without looking back.

When she arrived at the hotel, she felt completely drained. She curled up on the bed and cried uncontrollably, not leaving her room for most of the day.
