Xu Fang fainted, and Gu Bei and Qian Lanlan were terrified!
"Mom, Mom, wake up, don't scare me, please wake up... Waaah..." Gu Bei, who was so big, sat next to Xu Fang and cried loudly, at a loss.
Qian Lanlan looked at Gu Bei, who was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, and felt a tightness in her chest. Even if she had any other choice, she, Qian Lanlan, would never tie herself to Gu Bei. He was just an irresponsible person.
Qian Lanlan squatted down and pinched Xu Fang's philtrum hard. "Ugh..." Xu Fang didn't know if she was woken up by the pain or if she had caught her breath. When she opened her eyes, she saw Qian Lanlan, that vixen, and slapped her without hesitation.
"Smack!"
"Mom, Mom, why did you hit me?"
Gu Bei was quite happy to see his mother wake up. Unexpectedly, she slapped Qian Lanlan across the face, startling him so much that he couldn't even speak properly.
"Auntie, why are you hitting me? I didn't do anything wrong. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango, and this isn't something I could do alone." With her protector, Qian Lanlan wasn't afraid of Xu Fang at all.
"It takes two to tango. How dare you say that? Gu Bei is so old. Are you really that shameless? Can't you live without a man? Seducing such a young child, you're too vicious!"
At that moment, Xu Fang felt utterly destroyed. She threw all sense of shame and upbringing to the wind and cursed Qian Lanlan with the most vile words, finding some satisfaction in doing so. All her plans were ruined. How could such a person be her daughter-in-law?
"Auntie, how dare you say that? We're like family. You were able to seduce your brother-in-law under the guise of taking care of the child back then. I haven't even committed incest yet. Gu Bei and I are engaged. Do you want to deny it?"
Qian Lanlan hadn't been idle these past few months; she had found out almost all of the Gu family's secrets. It was all because Xu Fang wasn't well-liked!
"You, you, you..."
Xu Fang was so angry that she fainted again.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Xiangdong was reviewing documents in his office when he received a call from his neighbor, who said something was going on at his house and there was a lot of noise coming from inside. Worried something might be wrong, the neighbor called, but really just wanted to hear some gossip.
Gu Xiangdong did not lose his mind. He closed the door as soon as he entered the house, keeping the good news out.
"Dad, Dad, you're back! Mom has fainted again, what should we do?"
When Gu Bei saw that his father had returned, he was no longer at a loss and quickly pushed the matter onto his father.
"You two, tell me, what exactly happened? What do you mean by 'fainted again'?"
Gu Xiangdong carried Xu Fang back to the bedroom, checked her breathing, and found she was alright.
"I just told Auntie I'm pregnant, and she was probably so happy that she fainted." Qian Lanlan looked at Gu Xiangdong with an innocent expression, and what she said made Gu Bei's mouth drop open in shock.
"What?! You're pregnant?! Gu Bei, you little bastard, I'll beat you to death!"
Gu Xiangdong understood why Xu Fang had fainted; it was because she was angry.
"Dad, Dad, you can't hit me! What's wrong with me getting my wife pregnant? I didn't let anyone else's wife get pregnant!" Gu Bei, quick-witted, said something that almost made Gu Xiangdong faint.
"You little bastard, are you even speaking human language? If I don't beat you to death today, you're my father!" Gu Xiangdong was really enraged. He took off his belt and lashed it at Gu Bei.
Qian Lanlan found it quite frightening and quickly hid back inside. She couldn't afford to be caught in the crossfire; she had to protect the baby in her belly, which was her last resort.
In the living room, Gu Bei screamed loudly as he was being whipped, which woke Xu Fang up, and she got up.
“Gu Xiangdong, why are you hitting Gu Bei? It’s all that vixen’s fault. Go hit her, kill her. I can’t let her ruin my son.”
"Mom, it hurts so much!"
The mother and son embraced and wept bitterly, infuriating Gu Xiangdong to the point of rage. It was always like this; whenever Gu Bei made a mistake and he tried to discipline him, Xu Fang would desperately stop him. This time, she'd spoiled him rotten; he was so young, and she'd already gotten him pregnant.
Gu Xiangdong felt a tightness in his chest. He only had a few years left before retirement, and this matter, while not a major one, was not insignificant either. If handled poorly, he could also be implicated. Knowing Gu Ze's resentment towards him, he was even more uneasy.
"Just keep spoiling him, let's see what good things he can do. How are we going to resolve this now? If we don't handle it right away, Gu Bei will be in big trouble. The evidence is right there."
Gu Xiangdong really wanted to turn around and leave, ignoring all this mess. Why couldn't he control his lust back then, causing his wife and children to break apart?
"Make her abort the child. I will not acknowledge this child. Make her abort it."
Xu Fang was in a panic, completely out of control. She didn't even consider that Qian Lanlan had gone to great lengths to get pregnant, so how could she possibly abort the child?
“Auntie, how can you say that? This is Gu Bei’s flesh and blood, your own grandson. How can you be so vicious? I’m going to the Women’s Federation. Someone will surely stand up for me.”
Qian Lanlan was stunned when she heard Xu Fang's words. This woman was really ruthless. She would not do as she wished. She cried with tears in her eyes, but her eyes were fixed on Gu Bei.
"Mom, that's my child, you can't kill him."
Gu Bei couldn't stand Qian Lanlan's gaze and started yelling at his mother.
“Your child? You're still a child yourself. How are you going to raise a child? Are you expecting me to raise it for you? Dream on! Qian Lanlan, if you want to have a child, fine, but you can have one and raise it yourself. I don't care.”
Xu Fang had made up her mind; she wouldn't pay any money, let's see how this vixen raises the child.
“If you don’t care, then I’ll beg for food in the compound and at your workplace. There are many good people in the world, and someone will take pity on my son and give us some food. What do you say, Auntie?”
Qian Lanlan was going all out. She had nothing to lose and wasn't afraid of anyone. If she was going to die, she would take a few others down with her. Why should she die alone? Her life mattered too.
"Shut up, all of you. Aren't you ashamed enough? Xu Fang, there's no turning back now. You just have to accept it. Qian Lanlan, you don't need to threaten us all the time. If we're in trouble, you won't be any better off." Gu Xiangdong could imagine the chaos and turmoil that would follow.
"Uncle is the wise one. We're all in the same boat, aren't we?"
Gu Bei watched Qian Lanlan and her parents exchanging cryptic messages, but he was completely confused and didn't quite understand. It seemed they had agreed to keep the child.
Xu Fang returned to her room feeling utterly exhausted, as if she had cried all her tears out.
"You should shut up a bit. If you keep making a scene, I might lose my job. The competition is so fierce these days, who knows if someone will take this opportunity to stab us in the back?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Fang became completely obedient. If Gu Xiangdong lost his job, how would she survive?
The letter ended there, leaving Bonnie wanting more. Her sister-in-law had piqued her interest again, and she was really eager to see what would happen next.
Bonnie really admires her sister-in-law. It seems like she installed a hidden camera in Gu Xiangdong's house. How did she know so much? She'll have to ask her about it when they meet again.
Oh dear, she was so busy reading the letter that she hadn't even cooked the porridge yet, and she could already hear Liu Jiu's voice.
