For several days in a row, Cecilia Gu stayed at home and didn't go out at all.
News from outside gradually became scarce as well.
Helen Jiang was forced by Charles Yin to go on blind dates for half a month straight. In the end, Helen was so sick of it she actually threw up.
Then she knelt in front of Henry, who was supervising her dates, crying and apologizing over and over, promising never to target Cecilia Gu again. Mrs. Jiang even called Charles Yin to plead for mercy, and only then did Charles let Helen Jiang off the hook.
Afterwards, Charles Yin had his assistant tell Helen Jiang that this was just a minor punishment to serve as a warning.
If there’s a next time, she might lose her title as Miss Grant for good!
Charles Yin’s words weren’t just an empty threat—he really would do it!
Helen Jiang shuddered all over. She was genuinely terrified of this cousin!
A soft knife kills without blood!
Cecilia Gu’s belly was getting bigger and bigger, and soon her old clothes started feeling tight.
Mrs. Zhang monitored Cecilia’s measurements all the time, constantly ordering custom clothes for her.
“Mrs. Zhang, there’s no need to order so many,” Cecilia laughed, shaking her head as she saw Mrs. Zhang had ordered dozens more maternity outfits. “My belly’s growing so fast, most clothes only fit once. It’s such a waste.”
Mrs. Zhang smiled and replied, “Young Madam, you’re of noble status. Even when you’re not pregnant, you only wear an outfit once or twice. As for the Young Master, he almost never wears anything twice.”
Cecilia Gu shook her head speechlessly. It really was wasteful.
All their clothes were custom-made by hand—none of it was cheap!
While Cecilia was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Zhang, her phone suddenly rang.
Wendy hurried over and handed her the phone.
Cecilia reached out and took a look—it was a call from Jane Gu.
Since coming back, Cecilia rarely received calls from Jane Gu, so when she saw the call, she quickly answered.
As soon as the call connected, an excited scream came from the other end: “Cici, I’m pregnant!”
