Chapter 972: Chapter 972: This Child Is Actually Her, Ning Zitong’s, Own Granddaughter!

Ning Zitong’s hand that was just about to cut Chun’s hair paused upon hearing the sound.

Mo Chenxi quickly ran to little Zhichun’s side, reaching out to pull her behind him protectively.

"It’s you again, Auntie."

He cautiously raised his little electric eyes to look at Ning Zitong.

"What are you planning to do with those scissors?"

Seeing the questioning look in this little guy’s eyes, Ning Zitong couldn’t help but frown a bit.

"Little guy, don’t be so tense. I’m not a bad person."

She just wanted to use the scissors to cut a strand of Xixi’s hair.

"But you have the scissors."

Mo Chenxi still harbored distrust.

As Ning Zitong was unsure how to explain, little Zhichun spoke up.

"Brother, Auntie would never bully Chun, Auntie is very, very good to Chun!"

"Really?"

"Mm-hmm!"

Little Zhichun nodded her head assuredly, her big eyes sparkling.

"Brother Shaoqian said that Xixi is Auntie’s darling, so Brother Shaoqian said he’s afraid to bully Chun, or Auntie would scold him!"

"Uh..."

Mo Chenxi nodded thoughtfully.

Ning Zitong listened to the words on the side, feeling extremely distressed.

Yes.

Originally, adopting this child was an act of kindness.

But after raising her for five years, taking care of her personally every day, waking up countless nights to change diapers and lull her to sleep.

These five years have already cultivated deep feelings.

Now she’s just been taken back by Mo Chuxi and Yan Xinxin, saying this child was born to them five years ago.

She feels so hurt and resentful! 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Xixi is a piece of her flesh, a gem, over a thousand days and nights of care, just taken away like that, how could she not hate it!

But...

But now, this child, this child might just be her own biological granddaughter!

She can’t discern whether this is heaven’s punishment or mercy on her...

On the grassy field covered with fallen petals, by the creek where cherry blossom petals drift, Mo and Yan, along with two other couples, are joyfully picnicking together.

Yan Xinxin is not sitting on the picnic cloth but rather on a lounge chair Mo Chuxi brought over.

Her belly is too big, making it inconvenient to sit on the grass. Besides, he’s afraid she might catch a chill.

Even though the weather today is beautiful, with the gentle wind and bright sun, he wouldn’t dare risk anything.

"Sister Xinxin, your belly is so big, you eat even more than I do!"

Selena suddenly ran to Yan Xinxin’s side, pointing to her belly.

Yan Xinxin smiled and looked up.

"I have to thank you, Nana, for your help back then. Otherwise... hmm?"

Before she could finish, her mouth was suddenly covered with someone’s finger.

Yan Xinxin felt puzzled but met the man’s deep eyes.

"Don’t say unlucky things."

"Who would’ve thought, the grand Young Master Mo would be so superstitious?"

Mo Qingning’s teasing voice drifted over.

Mo Chuxi retracted his finger, slightly lifting his electric eyes.

"Yize, can’t you control your girlfriend?"

"... Brother, you’re really shameless like this!"

At the mention of Xiao Yize, Mo Qingning’s face turned red.

Mo Chuxi smiled calmly, curling his lips.

"Looks like someone can really manage you."

"... Hmph, I won’t argue with you, nor will I accept your blatant displays of affection with Saozi!"

Mo Qingning said with a flushed face, pretending to be angry as she stood up and walked away.

Xiao Yize stood up as well.

"Qingqing, wait for me."

Watching the couple walk away, Mo Chuxi patted Yan Xinxin’s head and stood up, walking towards Xu Nuo, who stood by the lake.

Xu Nuo’s eyes were fixed on Selena standing beside Yan Xinxin, a smile on his lips.

"Shall we talk?"

Mo Chuxi walked to his side and spoke.

Xu Nuo withdrew his gaze, faintly curling his lips.

"What would Young Master Mo like to talk about?"

"I want to ask you a question."
