Chapter 1258: 308: Do you believe in reincarnation?
âAlright, maâam! Iâll go right away!â Old Sun immediately ran off to report to the police.
Cao Xiaomei was scared out of her wits.
She didnât want to go to the police station!
She definitely didnât want to sit in jail!
She was still so youngâŠ
âMaâam, please spare me! Iâm begging you!â Cao Xiaomei crawled over and wrapped herself around Grandma Wuâs legs again. âI only did these things because you agreed to them! You canât dump all the blame on me! You canât do thisâŠâ
At these words, Grandma Wu roared angrily, âYou little brat, stop spouting nonsense! I agreed to let you do this? Iâve been dreaming of holding a great-grandsonâwhy would I harm my own grandsonâs wife?â
If she had known Shangguan Xi was already pregnant, Grandma Wu definitely wouldnât have agreed to any surrogate schemes.
All of her frustrations stemmed from Shangguan Xi not being pregnant.
âIf you hadnât pushed Xiaoxi, would she have ended up like this? Itâs all your fault! You cursed wretch! You worthless woman! You almost brought ruin to the Wu Family!â
Grandma Wu was now endlessly relieved that none of the worst had actually happenedâif anything truly tragic had befallen Shangguan Xi, she wouldnât want to keep living either!
âOld Sun! Old Sun, hurry up!â Grandma Wu urged Old Sun to call the police faster.
âMaâam, please no, please donât do thisâŠâ Cao Xiaomei wailed and sobbed.
Grandma Wu felt no pity for Cao Xiaomei at all. If she could, sheâd strangle her on the spot!
If not for Cao Xiaomeiâs meddling and scheming, her relationship with Shangguan Xi wouldnât have turned out like this.
Seeing that Grandma Wu was truly determined to deal with Cao Xiaomei, Chen Qian let out a sigh of relief. At first, she had been genuinely worried that the elderly woman would stubbornly protect Cao Xiaomei and continue to make mistakes.
Now it seemed, at least, that the old lady hadnât lost her sanity to that extent.
As long as Grandma Wu was willing to lower her head and admit her mistakes, sincerely repenting, then this matter would become much easier to resolve.
The police arrived quickly and took Cao Xiaomei away.
Chen Qian and Grandma Wu, as witnesses, also accompanied them to the police station.
Afterward, the police stopped by the hospital.
After all, Shangguan Xi was the victim, and they needed her to confirm some things.
Shangguan Xiâs emotions were relatively calm as she recounted the events to the officers. After completing her statement, the police left.
Grandma Wu collapsed in tears at Shangguan Xiâs bedside, âXiaoxi, I was wrong. Grandma is apologizing to you now. Please, as long as you can forgive me, Grandma is willing to do anythingâŠâ
âGood child! Please forgive Grandma, Iâm begging you.â
Shangguan Xi still found it hard to face Grandma Wu. Every time she saw her, the elderâs face brought back memories of those unbearable conversations with Cao Xiaomei.
But looking at Grandma Wu now, with tears streaming down her wrinkled face, she suddenly felt a flicker of compassion.
âPlease stand up first,â Shangguan Xi said. No matter what, she was still younger, and she shouldnât let a ninety-four-year-old elder remain like this.
Moreover, Wu Zhihao and Chen Qian had always treated her well, like their own daughter. She couldnât make things difficult for them either.
Grandma Wu wiped her tears as she rose from the floor, âXiaoxi, please donât be angry anymore, alright? Every mistake was mine! Itâs all my fault! I was utterly foolish. Iâm willing to take responsibility for my actions!â
Grandma Wu truly realized her wrongs now.
She shouldnât have acted that way beforeâŠ
As long as Shangguan Xi was willing to forgive her, she would treat Shangguan Xi like a Bodhisattva, worship her wholeheartedly.
Whatever Shangguan Xi asked of her, sheâd do it without hesitation.
âLet me ask you a question.â Shangguan Xi turned to look at Grandma Wu.
âXiaoxi, go ahead!â
Shangguan Xi continued, âIâm sure you know by now that Iâm pregnant. The doctor just told me earlier that Iâm carrying twin girls. Would you like having two great-granddaughters?â
The embryos were only four weeks old!
How could it be possible to determine their gender?
Shangguan Xi deliberately said this to test Grandma Wuâs attitude. She couldnât bear to experience another similar situation again.
âIt doesnât matter if theyâre boys or girls! Xiaoxi! Grandma isnât the type to favor sons over daughters! I would love great-granddaughters just the same!â Grandma Wu added, âXiaoxi, if you donât believe me, I can write a guarantee! I can swear to the heavens! If I ever value boys over girls, may I die a horrible death! May I be torn apart!â
In truth, Grandma Wu had never held such beliefs about favoring boys over girlsânot even from the very beginning.
She just wanted to hold a great-grandchild, and that was enough.
