Chapter 266 Direct Lawsuit to Fight for Custody

Gu Zhiyao also received a call from Xiao Lin saying that Zheng Yuanxi had obtained fake test results, confirming that He Yi and Niu Niu were not related!

She was naturally happy, but then Xiao Lin told her that He Yi might also be involved in this matter and that he knew Niu Niu had nothing to do with him.

This was a lucky accident.

This dispelled He Yi's suspicions, and we no longer need to worry about He Yi doubting Niu Niu's identity!

Because things went as planned, everyone was in a good mood and went out to eat.

The restaurant was a Western restaurant near the hotel, but I didn't expect to run into He Yi.

Standing next to He Yi was Zheng Yuanxi, who was holding Chenchen's hand.

A standard family of three.

Gu Zhiyao stared blankly at the scene before her, feeling a stinging pain in her eyes. She almost wanted to run over and pull Chenchen back to her side.

Xiao Lin seemed to notice her unusual expression, put his arm around her shoulder, and said softly, "Let's go sit down."

Gu Zhiyao took a deep breath and nodded to Xiao Lin, but just then Niu Niu also saw Chen Chen and broke free from Gu Zhiyao's hand and ran over.

At this moment, He Yi also noticed Niu Niu. He was taken aback at first, but when he saw Gu Zhiyao and Xiao Lin walking side by side, his dark eyes darkened slightly.

"Brother Chenchen, you're here to eat today too! What a coincidence! We're all out to eat with Mom and Dad," Niu Niu exclaimed excitedly.

Chenchen gave Niu Niu a doting look, then greeted Gu Zhiyao, "Hello, Aunt Gu."

Gu Zhiyao stared intently at her son, almost wanting to pull the little guy into her arms.

At this moment, Zheng Yuanxi pulled Chenchen aside and said to He Yi, "Let's go over there. We still need to go back to Grandma's house after dinner."

He Yi then told Niu Niu, gave Gu Zhiyao a meaningful glance, and led Zheng Yuanxi and Chenchen to their reserved seats.

Gu Zhiyao stood there, watching them walk away, her heart filled with unbearable grief.

"Don't be like this, Chenchen will be back soon." Xiao Lin comforted her, but he knew in his heart how bad she was feeling.

If Zheng Yuanxi and Chenchen's relationship were just ordinary, it wouldn't be so bad, but Chenchen clearly cares a lot about Zheng Yuanxi. Their actions and words are very affectionate, just like a loving mother and filial son. How could Gu Zhiyao not feel sad and heartbroken?

Chenchen was the child she had carried for ten months and given birth to with great difficulty. He was taken away by Zheng Yuanxi right after he was born, and the two of them were so close. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she had recognized her thief as her mother. Anyone would find it hard to bear seeing such a situation.

With Xiao Lin's best efforts to comfort and reassure her, Gu Zhiyao went to their seats first, but then she became absent-minded and her mood never improved.

Niu Niu, unaware of the situation, kept talking about Chen Chen and even ran over to him. Gu Zhiyao was too lazy to pay attention anymore. Xiao Lin, not wanting to upset Niu Niu, could only keep his eyes on her. Fortunately, the little girl returned soon after. The meal was rushed and tasteless. Gu Zhiyao didn't even eat much. Her gaze kept drifting towards Chen Chen.

After He Yi and Zheng Yuanxi left with Chenchen, they also left the restaurant.

"Brother Xiao Lin, why don't you take Niu Niu back to the hotel first? I have something to take care of," Gu Zhiyao said.

"What are you going to do? Why don't we go together?" Xiao Lin's eyes couldn't hide his worry.

“I’m going to see Lin Houze; I plan to sue them as soon as possible.”

Xiao Lin understood who "them" referred to.

It seems that Gu Zhiyao is planning to fight for custody of Chenchen.

The original plan was to deal with Zheng Yuanxi and Wen Ya first. However, He Yi was more powerful and difficult to deal with than expected. If they really wanted to fight for Chenchen's custody, they had to plan carefully.

“Zhiyao, I understand you were provoked today, but there’s really no need to be so impulsive. Let’s discuss this again and see if we can find a better opportunity. Weren’t we planning to use the evidence of Zheng Yuanxi’s infidelity to bargain with He Yi? Maybe we’ll find the evidence soon,” Xiao Lin advised.

But Gu Zhiyao couldn't hold back any longer. The scene of Zheng Yuanxi and Chenchen being a loving mother and son today deeply affected her, making her unable to remain calm and patient.

"It's alright, Brother Xiao Lin. I just went to discuss it with Hou Ze. It will take some time to actually get things done, so I'm just preparing for both possibilities."

Xiao Lin understood her stubborn nature, so he said, "Alright, then go talk to him. Remember not to act impulsively. You also need to consider your status. Before making any decisions, it's best to tell me first, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xiao Lin." Gu Zhiyao said, then lowered her head and touched her daughter's face. She felt a little guilty, remembering that she had neglected her daughter because she was in a bad mood. "Niu Niu, you go back with Daddy first. Mommy will take you to the night market tonight, and then we'll take you to eat lots of delicious snacks."

“Okay, Mom,” the little girl replied obediently.

Gu Zhiyao kissed her, then looked back at Xiao Lin with a grateful glance before turning around, walking to the roadside, and getting into a taxi.

When she arrived at Lin Houze's office, Lin Houze had just returned from outside. He was quite surprised to see her. Although they had been in contact via WeChat recently, they did not meet often. Therefore, Lin Houze immediately guessed that Gu Zhiyao must have come here for something important.

Gu Zhiyao didn't delay and quickly explained her purpose.

Lin Houze shared the same thought as Xiao Lin after hearing this, "Shall we start now?"

"Yes, I watched with my own eyes as Zheng Yuanxi stole the happiness and warmth that originally belonged to me. I really can't bear it. Moreover, I heard that Zheng Yuanxi often abuses Chenchen. She has a mental illness. If she loses control one day and something happens, it will be irreversible!" Gu Zhiyao truthfully told Lin Houze her worries.

"Zheng Yuanxi abused Chenchen? How did you know?" Lin Houze asked in surprise.

"It was Quan Xinyu who told me."

“Xin Quanyu? He Yi’s special assistant? But why would he say something like that to you…”

"Yes, he probably wouldn't have said it under normal circumstances, but maybe he felt sorry for me that day. In fact, he had always taken good care of me and tried his best to help me back then, so I believe that what he said to me that day was true. He probably didn't even think about what kind of impact it would have."

“This requires witnesses and physical evidence. Although Quan Xinyu told you this on a whim, he will definitely not be willing to testify in court. As for Chenchen, based on what he told you, he considers Zheng Yuanxi his real mother, so he probably won’t testify against Zheng Yuanxi either. And since all the physical evidence is gone, it will be difficult for us to win from this aspect.” Lin Houze spoke frankly with a solemn expression.

Gu Zhiyao's pretty face also darkened completely.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Houze responded, "Go in!"

The door opened and Xiaoyu walked in. "Sister Zhiyao, is it really you? I heard from Xiaomei that you were here, but I couldn't believe it."

Gu Zhiyao gave Xiaoyu a hesitant smile.

Xiaoyu immediately sensed that something was wrong and hesitantly asked, "What's wrong?"
