Chapter 521: Chapter 354 Xunxun is My Son_2

Alas!

“No, I need to follow them and see.”

After a moment of consideration, Lu Cong went after them. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

“Hey——”

Just as Gu Li was about to stop him, she was hindered by Mo Shiting. “Let him go.”

“But…”

“They will resolve their issues.”

Mo Shiting reached out and rubbed her head. His deep, magnetic voice fell into Gu Li’s ears. Somehow, it gave her a sense of security, and her previously agitated heart gradually calmed down.

Gu Li took a step forward, hugged Mo Shiting’s waist, and pressed her face against his chest, murmuring, “Brother Ting, I think my sister is in big trouble this time.”

Mo Shiting kissed her forehead, chuckling softly, “Are you referring to Murong Yun?”

“You… how did you know?”

Gu Li looked at him, wide-eyed.

Mo Shiting curved a smile, “When I was investigating you back then, I investigated the Murong family as well. Murong Qian is an only child, how could she have a brother?”

Gu Li: “…”

“Then… does Lu Cong know?”

“I wouldn’t tell him without your consent.”

“Hehe, you are the best.”

Gu Li grinned, hooked her arms around his neck, stood on her toes and gave him a peck on the lips. “That’s your reward.”

“Hmm!”

Mo Shiting glanced at her sideways, “Just a kiss? Such a miser?”

“What else? We’re at someone else’s house, we can’t be too bold.”

Housekeeper Auntie Zhang was busy in the kitchen. She had to have some restraint.

Mo Shiting was quite good at restraining himself. He bent his head to kiss her once more, then reluctantly let go of her.

Of course, before he let go, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, “Compensate me properly when we return home.”

Gu Li: “…”

Murong Qian and Gu Qian got into the car together and left.

Lu Cong, feeling uneasy, followed closely behind in his car.

“Madam, Mr. Lu has been following us.”

Steward Uncle Lin was driving. Through the rearview mirror, he saw Lu Cong’s sports car tailgating them, and promptly reported it to Gu Qian.

Upon hearing this, Murong Qian quickly turned back to look. Sure enough, she saw Lu Cong driving a white Ferrari, steadily following them.

What was this man up to?

She started feeling anxious and wanted to call him, but realized she had left in such a hurry that she’d forgotten her purse and, naturally, her phone.

Gu Qian watched her expressions closely from the corner of her eyes. Her rigid face was serious. “Does that man know about your illegitimate child?”

“When did you… find out about Xunxun?”

Murong Qian braced herself to ask.

“Ha!”

Gu Qian scoffed, “You thought you could really keep it a secret from me?”

Murong Qian hung her head, “Mother, I’m sorry, I…”

“I don’t want to hear any explanations.”

Gu Qian coldly cut her off, “Who gave you the courage to have a child out of wedlock?”

Murong Qian pressed her lips together and reached out to grab Gu Qian’s wrist. “What about Xunxun? Where have you taken him? He’s innocent. I hope you won’t make life difficult for him.”

“Rest assured! You’re the one who made the mistake. It doesn’t involve the child. I’ll register him under your cousin’s name. As for you, go to the ancestral hall to reflect upon your actions. When you’ve reflected enough, then you can come out. I’ll cover things up for you. Pretend you’ve never had this son.”

Gu Qian’s words were firm.

As the matriarch of a large family, she had to consider the reputation of the family, as well as her own personal considerations.

Since she was young, she had high hopes for her only daughter, but never expected that this unfilial daughter would do something so detrimental to the family’s reputation. When she found out yesterday, she was so angry she nearly had a heart attack.

After discussing it with Murong Qian’s father, she flew to M Country overnight to resolve the issue.

Murong Qian’s cousin, Murong Chi, had been married for many years without a child. Adopting Murong Yun was the most suitable solution.

Murong Qian hadn’t anticipated her parents would choose to separate her and her son for the sake of their interests. Her brain seemed to explode. “No! Xunxun is my son. Nobody can take him away.”

She had thought the worst outcome would be being expelled from the family. Who would have thought…

No, she couldn’t accept that!

Seeing her daughter’s face turning pale, looking as if she had been hit hard, Gu Qian sighed, “This is the only way I can help you. If you don’t want to be expelled from the Murong family and lose your inheritance, you’d better behave.”

“Mother, can you just pretend that you don’t know that I have a son? Please? I beg you.”

Murong Qian held tightly to Gu Qian’s hand, her eyes reddening. She was on the verge of crying. “I really can’t afford to lose him. Please… ”

Gu Qian turned her face away, her voice full of helplessness, “Qianqian, do you think this is fair to your father and me? The Murong family has such a large estate. Are you really planning to give it up?”
