"Hmph, if I hadn't called, were you going to keep it a secret from me?" Old Mrs. Gu's voice was old, cold, and filled with disappointment.
"Mom, no. You're old, and I'm afraid you'll worry. I'll let you know when I get back after I've dealt with things here."
Gu Xinheng's obedience to Old Lady Gu is ingrained in his bones.
Even though he was extremely angry, the call from Old Lady Gu forced him to suppress all his hatred.
It wasn't easy for the old lady, especially after his father died, she had to raise him alone.
Gu Xinheng is the only child in the Gu family, but he is only his father’s only child.
He has uncles, aunts, and cousins above him.
If it weren't for Old Madam Gu's strong intervention, he might not have been able to inherit the Gu family.
Because of this, even though Mrs. Gu is old and has retired behind the scenes, she still gives her son some advice from time to time.
"Oh, are you afraid that I will worry, or are you hiding it from me on purpose? You know it in your heart. Xinheng, Mom is old, and she can't be bothered for much longer... I know everything about what your wife and that adopted daughter did."
"You're angry, and you have the right to be. Take them back to Country M. I don't care whether you want to put them in solitary confinement or ignore them. But... divorce is absolutely not an option."
"mom-"
"If you still consider me your mother, don't disobey me!" Mrs. Gu scolded in a hoarse voice, "Also, I heard that you found Rourou?"
When Gu Xinheng heard Old Lady Gu mention Rourou, the blood in his body froze.
He froze in place, holding the phone tightly in his right hand.
Shen Wan... She actually told mom about Rourou!
Gu Xinheng turned around suddenly, his narrow black eyes filled with the deepest hatred.
His cold black eyes were staring fiercely at Shen Wan, who was being helped up by Gu Zonghan and looked at a loss.
Shen Wan felt innocent and didn't know what was wrong with Gu Xinheng.
If he hadn't wanted to divorce her, why would she have called Old Lady Gu for help
She did this for their marriage, what did she do wrong? !
Gu Xinheng withdrew his gaze from Shen Wan's face in despair.
The knuckles of his right hand, which was holding the phone, turned white.
"Yeah." He turned around again, with his back to Shen Wan and Gu Zonghan, and replied in a deep voice.
Only he himself knew that this sound almost choked in his throat.
"Xinheng, you are confused!" Sure enough, the next moment, he heard Mrs. Gu's disapproving voice coming from the phone.
“That child, she…how could she return to the Gu family? You know that her identity is not…” Realizing that she had said too much, Old Lady Gu stopped talking immediately.
Even on the phone, she was afraid someone would eavesdrop and didn't want to reveal too much.
"In short, the identity of that child cannot be recognized. You should immediately take your wife and Xuan'er back to Country M. This is a good opportunity since her relationship with your wife is not good. You should say that the child is ignorant and unfilial to his mother, and your wife was almost angry enough to fall ill. From now on, cut off contact with her."
"Mom, this is not possible! This matter is clearly..."
"Why not!"
Old Mrs. Gu was also annoyed and couldn't help but yell out what was in her heart.
"Why did I send her away back then? I told you not to look for her again! But what about you? I stopped you the first time and brought Gu Xuan'er back. I thought you had figured it out and compromised. I didn't expect that you would secretly find her again behind my back..."
"Mom... Rourou is my child after all."
Gu Xinheng choked up and lowered his voice as he spoke. Gu Zonghan and Shen Wan behind him could only feel his grief but couldn't hear it clearly.
"What do you mean your child? She is Shen Zi and Yue Ting's child!" (To be continued)
