"Oh dear, honey, don't get angry!" Gu Suian saw that Mu Ziqi's face was red from holding back her anger and quickly stepped forward to gently pat her back to help her catch her breath. "Why are you getting so worked up over the child? Don't make yourself sick!"
"You too! You just spoil him! If I were Zhi Qiu's mother, I would never agree to remarry! Whose child isn't their own precious treasure? Zhi Qiu didn't do anything wrong, yet he was bullied like this by our son. And he still wants to remarry? He can dream on!" Mu Ziqi shouted angrily, and she also gave Gu Suian a cold look.
"Alright, alright, we'll ignore it! He brought it on himself!" Gu Suian immediately reassured him.
"Don't let the old man know about this yet. It would be troublesome if he got so upset that he had to go to the hospital," Mu Ziqi said solemnly to Gu Suian after calming herself down.
On the other side, Gu Qingyan held his phone and gave a helpless bitter smile. Indeed, Mu Ziqi was right; the root of all this was him!
If he hadn't made so many mistakes, he could have had a happy family of four. Unfortunately, it's too late now.
Gu Qingyan went into the bathroom and picked up a razor in front of the mirror.
We can't afford to be so颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and lack of motivation). It's time to do something.
-----------
At the entrance of the Rong family villa.
"Dad, how long are you going to keep the fact that I'm not your biological daughter a secret from me?" Shen Zhi Qiu took a deep breath, looked into Shen Yan Shan's eyes, and carefully observed his expression.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Yanshan's face turned red before he finally managed to utter, "How could you not be my biological child?! You were only this big when you were born, and I raised you from the ground up!"
As Shen Yanshan spoke, he gestured a few times, trying to show Shen Zhi Qiu how big she was when she was born.
Shen Zhi Qiu looked at him quietly without saying a word.
Suddenly, a car sped up and came to a smooth stop in front of the villa.
Rong Mo, dressed in a black suit, opened the car door and got out, glancing coldly at Shen Yanshan and Shen Meiyan.
"Wei Qiao, see the guests out!" Rong Mo frowned as he looked at Shen Zhi Qiu's pale face and ordered Wei Qiao to immediately send Shen Yan Shan and his son away.
Wei Qiao replied respectfully, "Okay."
Rong Mo strode towards Shen Zhi Qiu, touched Shen Zhi Qiu's face with the back of his hand, and felt a chill. Rong Mo's expression turned very serious.
"Lu Jia, you take Zhi Qiu inside first, I'll handle things here."
Lu Jia nodded and helped Shen Zhi Qiu prepare to go inside.
Shen Zhi Qiu glanced at Shen Yan Shan, not wanting to say anything more. At this moment, her health was the most important thing, and there was no need to waste time with Shen Yan Shan in this cold wind.
"Wait!" Shen Yanshan suddenly rushed over and reached out to pull Shen Zhiqiu.
Rong Mo reacted immediately and stepped in front of Shen Zhi Qiu, looking down at Shen Yan Shan and saying, "President Shen, please leave."
"I'm here to find my daughter. Who are you? What right do you have to stop me?"
"I don't need to report to President Shen who I am. You just need to know that Zhi Qiu is doing very well here right now. She will definitely be a thousand times better off here than she was in the Shen family." Rong Mo had read Shen Yanshan's information and held a grudge against him for always treating Shen Zhi Qiu badly, so naturally he didn't want to give him any kind look.
Shen Meiyan, standing to the side, narrowed her eyes and carefully examined Rong Mo. Although she did not know his identity, she could tell at a glance that he was no ordinary person.
"Hey, what's wrong with you!" Shen Yanshan shouted anxiously at Shen Zhiqiu's retreating figure, "Zhiqiu, it's me, Dad! Why aren't you talking to me?!...Hey, don't touch me! I need to go inside..."
Before Shen Yanshan could finish speaking, Wei Qiao and Xiao Lei each pulled Shen Yanshan and Shen Meiyan away.
As soon as Rong Mo stepped inside, the butler, Uncle Li, closed the door, shutting out the noise from outside.
"Zhiqiu, don't think too much. The most important thing now is to take good care of yourself so that the baby can be healthy." Lu Jia bent down and draped a blanket over Shen Zhiqiu's belly, then handed her a cup of hot milk. "Drink something hot. It was windy outside just now, don't catch a cold."
Shen Zhi Qiu grasped Lu Jia's hand, raised her head, and looked at him with clear eyes, saying, "Do you know? I even started to doubt myself just now, wondering if I was really a heartless and unfilial daughter. When I heard him shouting that he was my father, I didn't feel much emotional at all."
All I know is that if I soften my heart even slightly, it would be disrespectful to my mother.
If it weren't for him and his current wife, my mother wouldn't have ended up like that. That once decisive and efficient woman is now mentally unstable; I can never forgive him.
As she spoke, Shen Zhi Qiu gave another bitter smile, "As for my so-called 'sister,' she wishes I were dead. Last time at the Gu family, she found out that Gu Qingyan's sister, Gu Ningning, had poisoned me. Do you know what she said to me?"
Lu Jia sighed and gently stroked Shen Zhi Qiu's hair. Needless to say, he knew how harsh the words would be.
Shen Zhi Qiu twitched the corner of her mouth, her expression somewhat saddened. "She actually said, 'Why didn't you poison me to death?' Can you believe what kind of younger sister would curse her older sister like that?!"
Rong Mo stood on the other side of the sofa, listening to Shen Zhi Qiu's words, his hands clenching into fists involuntarily. He realized that he had been too lenient by having them dragged out earlier!
Roadside.
"Who told you to say those things?! You ruined my plans!" Shen Yanshan bent down to pick up the box from the ground and dusted it off. He was furious when he saw Shen Meiyan's disheveled appearance. "If you hadn't angered them with your words, we might be drinking tea in the villa right now! This awful weather is freezing! All my self-inflicted suffering was for nothing!"
As Shen Yanshan spoke, he tucked his collar in, but the areas that had been wet were now even colder, and he couldn't help but shiver again.
"I just can't stand the way she acts!" Shen Meiyan got up from the ground and shouted angrily, "You only know how to criticize me! I was pushed to the ground and you didn't even care about me or help me up! Are you even my father?!"
Shen Meiyan, who was used to being pampered, couldn't stand this kind of hardship, especially after Shen Yanshan complained about her. Now she was even more furious, "And what did Shen Zhi Qiu mean by what she just said?! Does that mean Shen Zhi Qiu isn't your daughter?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?! She's pregnant and her brain has gone stupid, are you stupid too?!" Shen Yanshan scolded, looking annoyed. "Let's find a warm place first, I'm freezing!"
Suddenly, a car stopped by the roadside, the window rolled down, and the passenger slowly poked his head out, looking at them with hostile eyes.
