Ch 130: It’s Not Older Brother’s, It’s Mine
Old Master also suddenly widened his eyes, “Yuanzhou, you can’t talk nonsense about this kind of thing.”
Gu Yuanzhou looked at Grandfather, his expression solemn, his thin lips trembling slightly, before saying resolutely: “Grandfather, I’m not talking nonsense, the child in Mingyue’s belly is indeed not Older Brother’s, but mine.”
With the last word falling, whether it was Old Master or Zhou Xiaofei, even Shen Mingyue, all looked at him in shock at this moment.
Shen Mingyue’s first reaction was that Gu Yuanzhou was helping her, not wanting to make her embarrassed in front of everyone, but after realizing it, she felt it was impossible. When she was pregnant, they hadn’t even met. How could the child in her belly be his? This lie was too easy to expose, after all, not everyone present was a fool.
“Second Brother, don’t talk nonsense. At this point, you’re still protecting her. What are you thinking?!”
Gu Sisi cried out in despair, clearly unable to bear it any longer.
She didn’t like Shen Mingyue to begin with, and now that she knew she was messing around with relationships and making their family suckers, she hated her even more.
Old Master still had some trust in his grandson. Gu Yuanzhou, such a steady person, wouldn’t talk nonsense about this kind of thing.
“Yuanzhou, what exactly is going on?”
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t dare look at Shen Mingyue; he was afraid of seeing her disgusted look.
“When I was looking for Older Brother in the town, I stayed at the guest house and was targeted by someone with ulterior motives. I was drugged, and they even sent a female comrade to my room. That night, we had relations.”
Before Gu Yuanzhou finished speaking, Shen Mingyue understood. That night at the guest house, the person who had his way with her was Gu Yuanzhou!
He had known all along, but why didn’t he say anything? Shen Mingyue uncontrollably began to tremble.
“When I woke up, the female comrade had already left. I searched for her for a long time but couldn’t find her. Unexpectedly, by chance, Mingyue came to the city, so I immediately decided to marry her because the child in her belly is mine; the dates match perfectly. Grandfather, I’m sorry. I didn’t tell everyone beforehand; it was my poor consideration.”
Gu Yuanzhou tried to explain things clearly to avoid further questions.
Gu Yuanzhou’s gasping for breath quite frightened Old Master. How was it like a rollercoaster?
They had been despairing, but unexpectedly, it was even better news. Shen Mingyue was carrying Gu Hongbin’s child; they were naturally happy, after all, Gu Hongbin was also a member of the Gu Family.
But ultimately, Gu Hongbin hadn’t been raised by their side since childhood; family affection certainly wouldn’t be that deep.
But Gu Yuanzhou was different. He had been a gifted child since childhood and was the most successful among his generation. Now that Shen Mingyue was carrying his twins, this was naturally good news.
“You child, why didn’t you say this earlier? You deserve a beating.”
Old Master glared at him; his facial expression was not as unpleasant.
The others were like they were listening to a story. It was too unbelievable. How could such a coincidence happen?
But on second thought, it seemed to make sense. Why did Gu Yuanzhou agree to marry Shen Mingyue at that time? Everyone thought it was strange then. If this were the case, it would be understandable.
Shen Mingyue was carrying his child; how could he not care?
Gu Yuanyang also suddenly understood at this moment, feeling that he had been sentimental before, thinking that Second Brother had agreed to accept Shen Mingyue for him. It turned out there was such a connection.
It wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision; it had been premeditated!
As they said, how could a perpetually single man suddenly blossom? Everything was premeditated.
The most shocked was Zhou Xiaofei. Her face was now bloodless; she looked like a ghost, as if her blood had been drained in an instant.
She stared blankly at Gu Yuanzhou, as if subconsciously blocking out everyone else’s voices.
How was this possible? How could there be such a coincidence in the world? No wonder Second Brother was so kind to her; it turned out they had slept together, it was God’s arrangement.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaofei thought of her efforts, which instantly seemed like a joke.
She had worked so hard to find Sun Hongmei, only to legitimize the child in Shen Mingyue’s belly; it was too ridiculous.
At this time, Gu Jianjun and Tian Shufang also spoke.
“This is indeed true. A few months ago, Yuanzhou told us, but it wasn’t something that could be brought to the table. Although we tacitly understood, we didn’t tell everyone. Now that we think about it, we did wrong. Dad, Mom, please don’t be angry with Yuanzhou; he just didn’t know how to speak up.”
With their parents’ corroboration, this matter was 100% true.
Sun Hongmei was also stunned. Even a story wouldn’t be so dramatic! What was going on?
“This… this… this is impossible! How could such a coincidence happen? But even so, it doesn’t prove that the child is yours. What if she found another man later?”
Although Shen Mingyue was conflicted inside, still thinking about Gu Yuanzhou hiding things from her, it didn’t mean she could be insulted like this.
This Sun Hongmei, not virtuous herself, wanted to drag her down too. These words were truly vicious. If she weren’t Nannan’s mother, Shen Mingyue would have given her a piece of her mind.
“Don’t think that because you’re this kind of person, all women in the world are like you. I’m not a prostitute; I won’t be like you, thinking about finding men every day.”
Shen Mingyue was being conservative. If she wasn’t worried about Nannan having psychological shadows, she would have directly scolded her.
What image or quality? She didn’t care; she just wanted to feel relieved.
Sun Hongmei pointed at her, clearly furious.
Nannan ran into Shen Mingyue’s arms at this moment, her big eyes fixed on Sun Hongmei.
“You’re bad; don’t bully my mother.”
Sun Hongmei’s heart sank; wasn’t this a case of betraying her own mother?
“What nonsense are you talking about? I’m your real mother; she’s just an adoptive mother. Come to Mama; why are you so unsensible?”
Nannan was Sun Hongmei’s only reliance; she naturally wanted to coax the child over and use the child to get the Gu family to settle her.
Unfortunately, Nannan didn’t give her face at all; not only did she take Shen Mingyue’s side, but she also made a grimace at her.
After experiencing a series of shocks, Old Master laughed heartily.
“There really are such coincidences in this world. It seems Mingyue was born to be our daughter-in-law, arranged by God. Whether it’s Hongbin’s child or Yuanzhou’s child, they are the roots of our Gu family. Everyone knows about this today; don’t ever mention it. If anyone leaks the rumor, humph! Consider the consequences yourselves.”
When Old Master put on a serious face, his authority was even greater. Everyone listened and hurriedly assured him.
