Chapter 821: It Can’t Be That… Your Mum Had a Baby With My Dad

Luosang frowned. “Mum, I understand that you really hate dad, but I asked him about it. He didn’t…”

“I don’t really want to know how far he went with Chu Lei.” Mo Jin cut her off saying. “But back then, all the neighbors, even other teachers and students, saw how he and Chu Lei went everywhere together; everyone knew. If he was using Chu Lei to provoke me, then he was just using her feelings. It’s no wonder that Chu Lei hates him. You should understand the truth.”

Honestly, if she hadn’t seen the despair in Yi Jingxi’s eyes that day, she might not have said these words.

Luosang grew silent.

“All right, I should leave.” Mo Jin put her cup down and stood up.

“Mum. Are you not curious at all about what happened back then?” Luosang couldn’t hold back and blurted out, “In these twenty years, dad didn’t look for any other woman, nor did he remarry. That’s why I believe what he said. There must be a misunderstanding between the two of them. When you were young, you did things that hurt each other because you cared so much….”

“I don’t care what reasons he had. What I remember about my life, is that after I gave birth to you, after 9 long months of pregnancy, I was at the receiving end of your grandmother’s eye rolls and disdain. Your father hid away at school while you cried every night and refused to sleep.”

“While I was tired to my bones, your father brought another woman in and out of public events. While I was pregnant with Liuxi, another woman sent me an intimate photo of herself with your father to provoke me. I was upset and said that I didn’t want the child anymore, then your father locked me upstairs. He didn’t understand me. As a woman, how could I bear to abort my own child? Luosang, I hate him. I’ve never hated a man so much. In your eyes, he may be a good father, but when I look at him, I want to kill him along with myself.”

Mo Jin left after she finished.

Luosang sat alone for a long time before asking Steward Wu to call Yi Jingxi over.

Five minutes later, she received a call from Nian Junting. “You better protect your lips. Don’t get kissed by him again.”

1“You should also ask your bodyguard to accomplish something. Don’t spend the money and end up not being able to do anything,” Luosang retaliated.

Nian Junting felt depressed. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely ask my bodyguards to make sure Yi Jingxi is unable to be within a three-meter radius of you.”

Luosang bent her head and smiled.

When Yi Jingxi walked in, he saw the girl he loved, wearing loosely fitted, pure-white pajamas while sitting on a dark green leather sofa imported from Italy. She looked like she was being well taken care of. Her ivory white skin was so soft that it looked like dew could drip out from it. Her cheeks gained a bit more baby fat since the last time he saw her, but that didn’t affect her beauty. When she smiled, her eyes seemed to emit light.

His footsteps halted. He gazed at her from a distance.

When she discovered his presence, her smile disappeared, and her gaze became guarded and cold.

A wave of pain that was almost suffocating overcame his heart. With difficulty, he moved his long legs to walk over.

Only, he was stopped by bodyguards before he could reach her.

Luosang hung up the phone and was a little surprised when she saw him. He must not have slept for days. His eyes were bloodshot, his chin was full of stubble, and his eyes were gloomy; his whole person was dispirited. There was a world of difference from back at the vacation resort.

Only, she had no sympathy for him.

Luosang spoke first saying, “Have you heard of the story of the boy who cried wolf? You’ve lied to me many times. This is the last chance I’m giving you. I hope that you will not come to see me in the future.”

Yi Jingxi moved his cracked lips with difficultly saying, “Sangsang, I want to talk to you in private for a while.”

His eyes were full of sincerity.

“Do you think that’s possible?” Luosang asked. “I’m currently pregnant. Who knows if you would give me a sudden push.”

Yi Jingxi’s gaze landed on her belly. Although he had already heard about her pregnancy, he still felt needles piercing his heart.

He had no one to blame for this, except himself.

“If we hadn’t got divorced, we might also have children by now,” he said distractedly with red-rimmed eyes.

3Luosang’s gaze spoke of impatience. “Why did you come today? If it is to reminisce, I’m not interested in listening.”

Yi Jingxi felt dejected. “I… I want to give myself up. I came to see you. There are some things that I want to tell you.”

Luosang was visibly surprised. “You are willing to confess? You are willing to give up the riches you have now?”

Yi Jingxi’s face got hot; he wanted to hide in a hole. He took out a card from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table. “This is the money your mum spent to buy Xu Group’s shares. All of it is in here. The company belonged to your family in the first place. It was me who used despicable methods to snatch your shares. I’m returning it to you now, back to its rightful owner.”

Luosang stared at the card without moving. She couldn’t believe it.

“About the resort. I plan to sell it and give the money to my mum. After all, she is getting old and she doesn’t have useful skills.” Yi Jingxi appeared sad.

Luosang hesitated for a moment before asking, “Can you tell me why you hated my family so much?”‘

Yi Jingxi’s faced paled and his fingers dug into his palms.

Moments later, he smiled, but with a smile even uglier than crying. “That is a joke.”

Instantly, his eyes turned red and tears blurred his vision. It took a while before he calmed down.

“In the past, my mum and dad were together since high school, and my mum became pregnant with me before she even graduated. She didn’t have a choice and gave birth to me while she stopped schooling for a year before taking the college entrance examination again. As for my father, because his family’s financial situation was not very good, he quit school and started his own business. My parents didn’t have a certificate of marriage, but in the eyes of their parents, they were practically married. Their families wanted them to get the certificate after my mum graduated. Then, my mum got into a university in An City. There, she met your dad, and you should also know what happened then.”

Luosang nodded while her heart was in shock. She didn’t expect that Chu Lei would still seduce Xu Zhengxuan when she already had a partner and son.

“As for me, I was raised by my grandmother. My dad often came to visit me, so we had a very good relationship. After, my father was doing well in medical equipment and even started a very good medical equipment company. He always loved my mum very much and waited for her graduation. Yet, she said that after she finished year four, she wanted to continue to study for her masters. My dad respected her decision and waited for her. When my mum finished her education and returned to our city, she married my dad. However, when I was ten years old, my father came to An City on a business trip and found out my mum had lost a baby when she was in year four.”

Luosang was stunned and stammered, “It can’t be that… your mum had a baby with my dad.”

It wasn’t that she didn’t believe Xu Zhengxuan, but Mo Jin said that Chu Lei once sent a photo of her being intimate with Xu Zhengxuan.
