Fu Xiangling tried to persuade her mother to help her by appealing to her mother's emotions and reasoning with her.
The next second, Chen Chunman's harsh words broke down her psychological defenses. "The child in your belly is not Lao Si's biological child. I have watched Lao Si grow up. He would never do such a thing as abandoning you. He only has brotherly feelings for you. She likes Gu Zhiqing. Mother can see that they are deeply in love. No woman can come between them."
"Because you are my daughter, I can't bear to see you go astray. Once the whole village knows that you are pregnant out of wedlock, your reputation will be ruined. Have you thought about the consequences? Can public opinion force Lao Si? Don't you know what happened to Hu Pandi? Lao Si and Gu Zhiqing are not people who care about their reputation. You are bringing shame upon yourself by doing this."
"You're my daughter, how could I not see what you're thinking? Are you still thinking of asking Gu Zhiqing's sworn enemies, Gu Yarou and Xu Luoxue, for help? They're unreliable and will only use you to deal with Gu Zhiqing."
Fu Xiangling didn't expect her mother to be so sharp and expose her lies, "The child in my belly is Brother Jingchen's..."
The Fu family is currently in turmoil and no one can be relied upon. The only way left is public opinion.
She wanted to see if the truth was really revealed and whether the mother would sacrifice her daughter's reputation. Then it would depend on what decision Chen Chunman would make. She didn't believe that her mother would watch her daughter die!
Chen Chunman, who knew his daughter best, knew she was stubbornly obsessed. "It can't be the fourth brother's. Putting aside the fact that he only has sibling feelings for you, your child was conceived after he and Gu Zhiqing left Xiangyang Village. During that time, you often went to the public house, and every time you came back, you had to take several baths. Were you being abused or threatened?"
"This child is a bastard. You can't blame the fourth child. Our family has already let the fourth child down. We can't sacrifice his happiness anymore. Xiangling, please repent. Your pregnancy months don't match. You can't fool Gu Zhiqing. She's a medical expert. How could she not see how many months you've been pregnant?"
"The fourth brother has never stayed at the Fu family's house in the few times he's come back to Xiangyang Village. He's always lived with Gu Zhiqing, either accompanying him or taking care of the baby. He even takes Anbao with him to bed. He doesn't even have a chance to be alone with you, so how could he have a child with you? Don't treat the villagers as fools. You've fooled them right now, but if you think about it carefully, you'll find many loopholes."
"The fourth brother hates the Fu family with all his heart. Last time you plotted against Gu Zhiqing, he protected him without a word. He's disgusted with you, and you can't tell he hates you? A marriage without love won't last. With the fourth brother's personality, even if he loses his job and becomes an officer, he will never compromise with the Fu family."
"It was you who reported Gu Zhiqing for speculation and profiteering last time, right? You can't be too immoral, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."
In fact, she had long suspected that the man who bullied her daughter was Ke Gongde, but her daughter refused to speak, and she had no evidence to seek justice for her daughter.
This time, Fu Xiangling was truly stunned. When had her mother become so clever? She had actually predicted everything correctly. "No matter what, I still say the same thing. The child is Brother Jingchen's. If you have the guts, Gu Wanwan, show me the proof. Whoever tries to stop me is my enemy. Mom, you're my real mother. Don't make me hate you!"
After saying this, she no longer paid any attention to her mother's pleading and turned around and ran out.
When Fu Xiangling came to ask for help, Gu Yarou knew that her opportunity had come and that Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen's happy days were about to come to an end.
After the marriage between Fu Xiaomei and Fu Jingchen fell through, Liu Laixi, unable to gain any benefits, took the initiative to find Fu Jingchen and said, "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, I have something to tell you!"
Fu Jingchen corrected with a sullen face, "Sister-in-law of the Fu family, don't try to associate with me and call me the fourth child. I'm not a member of the Fu family."
