After a pause, he said amicably, "So, can I take the child and leave now?"
"Suit yourself!"
Seeing that it was impossible to take both children away, Old Master Gu had no choice but to give up.
The bodyguards automatically stepped aside.
But as soon as the three of them left the dessert shop, Cuteâs smile disappeared again. Looking at the car parked by the roadside and the person who had just emerged from it, she pouted and muttered, "Why is there another one..."
It was Shang Jingyang.
"Cute," Shang Jingyang called out affectionately.
When Cute had previously visited the Shang family, Shang Jingyang had been pretty nice to her, and being a friend of her father, Gu Liancheng, he seemed even more affectionate.
"Oh no... what should we do... Itâs uncle..." Cute stood behind Jiujiu, muttering under her breath, "Uncle isnât bad, should we talk to him?"
He was beckoning Cute over, but Cute was looking to Ye Mo and Jiujiu for cues. If they werenât planning to go over, then she wouldnât either.
"Letâs go see."
Shang Jingyang also walked towards them and crouched down in front of the two kids.
"Cute, do you remember grandma?"
"Yes, I remember."
"Grandma is sick. Will you and your brother go with uncle to see her? Would that be okay?"
"Jiujiu, shall we go?" Cute tugged at Jiujiuâs sleeve.
Jiujiu shook his head: "No, we wonât."
"Why?" The one asking was Shang Jingyang.
Jiujiu looked at him with absolutely no fear in his expression and said, "Because she once made Eleven sad and upset, sheâs a bad grandma. Eleven already said she doesnât acknowledge her as a mom."
Jiujiu turned around, his gaze lingering on Old Master Gu who had just come out of the door, and continued, "Just like Mr. Gu doesnât acknowledge him as a grandpa, if they donât acknowledge someone, then they arenât our grandparents. They never got the facts straight. Grandpa Gu doesnât love Mr. Gu, Grandma Shang doesnât love Eleven, neither of them love Mr. Gu or Eleven, so why should we be expected to love and acknowledge them as grandparents? âWhat you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others.â"
Shang Jingyang was stunned.
Was the child standing before him really just a child?
He seemed too precocious, knowing far too much!
Cute raised a hand to signal: "What brother says is what I want to say, I agree!"
Ye Mo thought, Gu Liancheng and Eleven hadnât spoiled them for nothing. Although he always put on a carefree facade, he was always there for them.
"Shang Jingyang, since the children have spoken, donât force them anymore. Can I take them away now?"
No one could force them away.
Second Treasure climbed into Ye Moâs car, and Cute shouted, "Letâs go! Time for an adventure!"
...
Two months had passed...
Shang Muxue gripped the ultrasound photo backup that Eleven had just completed today, tightly in her hand.
She had gone not for a routine check-up, but for a pregnancy check!
Why now, at this critical juncture...
What does she want to do with the ultrasound photo??
Could it be...
Shang Muxue shuddered suddenly.
Was she planning to bring the ultrasound photo to their engagement party tomorrow?
No, that couldnât be allowed!
With many media attending the engagement party, once she showed it, it would definitely attract the attention of everyone present. Brother Liancheng might even be so shocked by the unexpected news that he could change his mind...
She wouldnât let her succeed!
Shang Muxue threw the ultrasound photo to the ground, stomped on it fiercely a few times, and grinded it hard, as if by crushing it, the child would also disappear from this world.
