The lawyer's voice drowned out Gu Dagu's exclamation and was clearly heard throughout the banquet hall: "...It will be transferred to Ms. Su Li free of charge."

As soon as the words fell, the entire hall seemed to have been paused, and you could hear a pin drop. Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. Gu Dagu was struck by lightning, and the documents in her hand slipped weakly and fell at her feet, as if mocking her gaffe.

Su Li was also shocked by this sudden news. She subconsciously looked at Gu Jinyan, but found that he was not around.

She felt a little uneasy. Could it be that he was also kept in the dark about this will?

At this time, the grandmother of the Gu family slowly stood up with the help of the servants. She swept her eyes over everyone and finally landed on Su Li. There was a trace of relief in her cloudy eyes: "Since this is the old man's decision, let's do it this way."

Although the old man's words were plain, they carried an unquestionable majesty. Everyone looked at each other and finally chose to remain silent. Aunt Gu wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the people around her, so she could only shut up unwillingly.

The farce finally ended with the decision of the grandmother of the Gu family. The guests left the old house one after another, and the originally lively banquet hall gradually returned to peace.

Su Li stood alone in the empty room, feeling mixed emotions. She didn't understand why Mr. Gu would leave such an important share to her. This sudden "gift" was more like a heavy responsibility that made her feel a little breathless.

"What are you thinking about?" A familiar voice came from behind. Su Li turned around and saw Gu Jinyan standing at the door with a hint of worry on his face.

"Nothing," Su Li forced a smile, "I'm just a little tired."

Gu Jinyan walked forward, gently embraced her in his arms, and whispered: "I know what you are worried about. Don't be afraid. I will take care of everything."

Su Li buried her head in his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated.

In the next few days, Gu Jinyan accompanied Su Li to deal with Mr. Gu's funeral and calmed the emotions of the family members. Everything seemed to return to calm. Gu's grandmother was very satisfied with the performance of Su Li and Gu Jinyan. She decided to hand over more family affairs to them. This was both a trust in them and a test.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan accepted the challenge and began to handle the company's affairs and learn how to manage this huge family business. However, they soon discovered that things were not as simple as they imagined.

"This..." Su Li looked at the report in her hand, frowning, "Why is there such a large amount of unknown expenditure in the company's accounts?"

Gu Jinyan took the report and read it carefully, frowning slightly. This expenditure was huge and its whereabouts were unknown, which was obviously not a normal business operation.

"It seems that what we took over is not only a family business, but also a mess." Gu Jinyan put down the report, with a hint of coldness in his tone.

Su Li held his hand, her eyes firm: "No matter what, we have to face it together."

They began to investigate the unknown expenditure and found that it was just the tip of the iceberg. There was a serious corruption problem within the company, and some senior managers took advantage of their positions to enrich themselves and damage the interests of the company.

Gu Jinyan and Su Li acted vigorously and cleaned up these termites, and carried out a comprehensive reform and rectification of the company's management system. They introduced modern management concepts, strengthened internal supervision, improved work efficiency, and the company took on a new look.

While they were working hard, they also had an unexpected surprise.

"Congratulations, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, you are going to be parents again." The doctor handed them the examination report with a smile on his face.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan were both stunned. They looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

"Really? I... I'm pregnant again?" Su Li's voice trembled a little, and she subconsciously stroked her belly.

The doctor smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's been six weeks, and the fetus is healthy."

This news was like a sweet bomb, and the Gu family went crazy. When the grandmother of the Gu family learned that she was going to have another great-grandson, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. The whole Gu family was immersed in joy and expectation.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other, their hearts filled with happiness and responsibility. They knew that a new life was coming and they would face more challenges, but they were ready to welcome the arrival of this little life together.

Just then, Su Li's cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and her face changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyan noticed her abnormality and asked.

Su Li took a deep breath and answered the phone: "Hello?"

A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Su Li, long time no see..."

The voice on the other end of the phone was like a poisonous snake, cold and dangerous. Su Li's fingers holding the phone turned slightly white. Gu Jinyan noticed her strangeness, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Who called?"

Su Li took a deep breath, trying to calm her surging emotions. She avoided Gu Jinyan's inquiring gaze and whispered, "Nothing, just a harassing call." After that, she hurriedly hung up the phone and turned it to silent mode.

Gu Jinyan looked at Su Li's forced calm expression, and a trace of worry flashed in his deep eyes, but he did not ask any more questions. He just gently held her in his arms and said in a low voice with soothing power, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Su Li leaned her head on Gu Jinyan's broad chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, and her originally uneasy mood gradually calmed down. The arrival of a new life made her full of expectations for the future, but the familiar voice on the phone was like a thorn, deeply piercing her heart, making her unable to ignore it.

As the days passed, Su Li's belly bulged slightly, and her face was filled with the glow of motherhood. Gu Jinyan took good care of her, turned down all unnecessary social events, and left more time for her and the unborn child.

With the joint efforts of Gu Jinyan and Su Li, the company gradually got out of trouble and got on the right track. At a family meeting, Su Li proposed a series of new strategies for the company's development. Her unique vision and keen business sense won the unanimous recognition of family members.

"I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, the Gu Group will surely achieve greater success!" Su Li stood confidently in front of the conference table, talking eloquently, exuding a confident and charming charm.

After the meeting, Gu's grandmother took Su Li's hand, smiled kindly and said, "Good boy, thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, the Gu family will always support you."

Su Li nodded with emotion, her eyes slightly moist. She knew that she had finally been recognized by everyone in the Gu family and had truly integrated into this big family.

Everything seemed to be moving in a good direction, and the Gu family was immersed in happiness and joy. Just when Su Li and Gu Jinyan thought that everything was going on the right track, the villa's surveillance system suddenly issued a piercing alarm, breaking the tranquility of the night...

The piercing alarm sounded and broke the silence of the night. A red light flashed on the monitoring screen, indicating that the intrusion alarm outside the villa had been triggered. The originally warm atmosphere froze instantly. Gu Jinyan's face darkened, and he quickly stood up, with a sharp look in his eyes.

"What happened?" Su Li was also startled by the sudden change and looked at Gu Jinyan worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'll go take a look." Gu Jinyan patted Su Li's hand soothingly, turned around, picked up his coat beside him, and strode towards the study.

In the surveillance footage, several men in black quickly climbed over the wall and approached the villa in a well-trained manner. Gu Jinyan looked solemn and immediately called the security captain, "Bring someone over immediately, someone broke into the villa!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinyan quickly walked to Su Li and whispered, "Hide first, it's not safe here."

Although Su Li was feeling uneasy, she still forced herself to remain calm and nodded.

She knew that she was pregnant and couldn't cause trouble for Gu Jinyan.

Gu Jinyan settled Su Li in the secret room and told her not to come out no matter what happened, then turned and left.

The secret room had good sound insulation, and Su Li couldn't hear any noise outside, but she could feel her heart beating fast.

She held the phone tightly, her palms full of cold sweat.

Time passed minute by minute, she didn't know what was happening outside and could only wait anxiously.

Suddenly, there was a violent vibration, as if something heavy hit the wall.

Su Li covered her mouth in fear, trying hard not to make any sound. She knew that those people had found this place.

With a loud "bang", the door of the secret room was violently pushed open, and dazzling light shone in. Su Li subconsciously closed his eyes.

"Mrs. Gu, how are you?" A cold voice sounded in her ears, and Su Li's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

When Su Li opened her eyes again, she found herself and Gu Jinyan imprisoned in a small room in an abandoned factory.

Under the dim light, Gu Jinyan's face had obvious scars, but his eyes were still firm, and he held Su Li's hand tightly, as if giving her strength.

Su Li took a deep breath and scanned every corner of the room, looking for anything that could be used.
