Cecilia Gu knew just how much pressure Charles Yin was under right now.
Although Ethan Yin was not a real threat, it was only after Cecilia truly returned to the Yin Family that she realized how much effort and sacrifice Charles had made to secure his position as CEO.
And her own existence had almost become an excuse for those people to attack Charles Yin.
Cecilia used to not care, but now that they had confessed their feelings to each other, how could she let anyone hurt Charles Yin?
Charles was protecting her—so why wouldn’t she want to protect him too?
What happened at the Jiang Family today had to be kept strictly secret.
The Jiang Family and the Yin Family had always cooperated; their fates were intertwined.
Cecilia didn’t want these minor issues to ruin the partnership between the two families.
Even though Eric Jiang mistook her for Nora Yun, which made her furious—
—she couldn’t deny that Eric Jiang was truly a genius.
As the eldest son of the Jiang Family, Eric Jiang was disciplined, rigorous, intelligent, and decisive.
His talent wasn’t just in his cultural upbringing—it was even more apparent in the business world.
So, it was largely thanks to Eric Jiang that the Jiang Family—Charles Yin’s maternal relatives—remained unshaken even with so many powerful enemies watching.
Eric Jiang was almost too devoted, but it was his loyalty and persistence that shaped the Jiang Family into what it was today.
A twenty-eight-year-old man, ever since he met Nora Yun, had never been involved in any scandals. His private life was as spotless as Max Mo's.
They say men with such clean private lives are either extremely twisted or extremely self-restrained.
Cecilia preferred to believe he was just hopelessly infatuated with Nora Yun.
When a man has a goddess in his heart, no other woman even catches his eye.
Whenever Cecilia thought of her twin sister, she couldn’t help feeling both envious and troubled.
She envied that, as twins, her sister seemed to sweep through life like a conqueror, with countless men falling for her. As for herself... well, her first love was a jerk, and he sold her out completely. Luckily, she now had someone in her heart—and her husband was a true dragon among men. At least, she was finally catching up to her sister.
What troubled her was that, with a face identical to her sister’s, she received kindness from her former brothers-in-law, but also got mistaken for Nora Yun by those who couldn’t let go. How could she not be bothered by that?
Cecilia knew all about Charles Yin’s methods. She knew that if she just kept hiding things, Charles would eventually find out anyway.
Given how much he doted on her... well, the odds of him falling out with the Jiang Family were about a hundred and twenty percent.
Since she couldn’t break ties with the Jiang Family, the one who hurt her... well, maybe she could get a little revenge!
After all, that person nearly hurt her precious child just now.
She could forgive any mistake—except someone hurting her son!
Cecilia sobbed softly in Charles Yin’s arms. Charles’s gaze had already landed on the base of her ear.
The blood there had dried, but the wound was still clearly visible.
"Who did this?" As expected, the air around Charles turned icy cold, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Helen Jiang." Cecilia didn’t dodge the question. She grabbed Charles’s clothes and said, "Charles, don’t ruin the peace between our families."
"So it was her! Hmph, she really doesn’t know her place." Charles Yin narrowed his eyes. "What kind of Jiang Family member is she anyway? Alright, let’s go home. Leave this to me—I’ll handle it."
Cecilia fell silent.
That confrontation with Helen Jiang had really drained her mentally.
Facing a crazy woman like her was no easy job.
And then having to deal with Eric Jiang, who was obsessed with Nora Yun...
Sigh, what did she ever do to deserve this?
Sister, oh sister, just how many heartthrobs have you attracted—and how many messes do I have to clean up for you?
Charles Yin picked Cecilia up. She heard him, still suppressing his anger, instruct, "Little A, go tell Aunt Jiang that Cici’s hurt. I’m taking her home to bandage her up, so we won’t be visiting."
After saying this, Charles didn’t pause for a second—he carried Cecilia away.
Cecilia’s fingers clung tightly to Charles’s clothes, her heart weighed down as if by a stone. She couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t over yet.
The thought weighed on Cecilia so much she could barely breathe.
Looks like she’d better stay home for a while!
Until she safely gave birth, it was best not to go out at all!
She absolutely couldn’t let her child get hurt—not even a little!
After seeing the simulated growth of her baby, the bond of blood felt stronger and stronger—so strong that Cecilia would give up anything for her child!
Cecilia gently stroked her belly.
He was still so small, still needed her protection.
No matter what, she couldn’t get hurt!
She had to make sure he was born safe and sound!
When Charles Yin took Cecilia away, and this news reached Mrs. Jiang, her face turned pale, then green.
She finally snapped back to reality, realizing that her beloved Helen Jiang had ended up offending both Cecilia Gu and Charles Yin!
Offending Cecilia wasn’t a big deal, but offending Charles...
Mrs. Jiang looked pleadingly at her sister-in-law—Mrs. Yin, Vivian Jiang.
Mrs. Yin just sneered, clearly not planning to help.
"I warned you long ago, but you kept spoiling that daughter of yours. What can I do? Charles isn’t a child anymore—I can’t even guess what he’s thinking, let alone anyone else." Mrs. Yin spoke slowly. "But, sister-in-law, let me tell you: technically, I’m married now, so I shouldn’t meddle in Jiang Family business. But Helen is just too arrogant. When she was little, her mischief could be overlooked, but now that she’s grown, her wildness might bring trouble to the Jiang Family someday."

Mrs. Jiang’s expression grew even more awkward. "Vivian, what are you saying? You’re still a Jiang, we’re family. Charles is so angry this time—next time, I’ll bring Helen to apologize to him myself. What do you think?"
"Forget it. No need for an apology—just keep your daughter from causing trouble. Since Cici’s already been taken away by Charles, I’d better head home too." Mrs. Yin turned her wheelchair and rolled outside.
As Mrs. Yin reached the door, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.
It seemed Cecilia Gu wasn’t as naïve as she appeared.
Not bad—at least she hadn’t let Vivian down.
Of course Mrs. Yin knew all about Helen Jiang making things difficult for Cecilia.
She just wanted to see how Cecilia would react in such a situation!
If Cecilia had relied on Charles’s favor and kept complaining, then even if she was pregnant with his child, Vivian wouldn’t keep her around...
But since she knew what really mattered, as her mother-in-law, Vivian would help clean up the mess.
At the door, Mrs. Yin said to Mrs. Jiang, "If Charles wants to teach Helen a lesson, don’t feel bad! An elder brother is like a father—Charles just doesn’t want his sister to go astray. Don’t you agree, sister-in-law?"
After saying this, Mrs. Yin left the room with her assistant’s help.
Mrs. Jiang was stunned, and slammed her teacup down on the floor.
But she couldn’t say a single word!
Now that Vivian had spoken, Helen Jiang was definitely in for a lesson!
Charles Yin, that nephew of hers... Ha, he definitely wouldn’t let Helen Jiang off so easily!
But she couldn’t say no!
Helen Jiang had spoiled herself too much, repeatedly embarrassing Cecilia.
In the days that followed, Cecilia kept to herself and rarely went out.
She turned down every invitation, always claiming she wasn’t feeling well.
Still, Cecilia heard from her assistant, Xiao Wang, that things weren’t looking good for Helen Jiang lately!
Charles had prepared a long list of blind dates and made sure Helen went on at least three a day—sometimes even six.
Helen didn’t dare say no!
This was Charles doing her a favor—she had to endure it, whether she liked it or not!
Wasn’t Helen Jiang supposed to have a brother complex?
