Chapter 127: Father Gu Is Back (6)
When the older ladies saw that Mo Beihan was so angry that he had even struck a woman, they gathered round to calm him down. So they saw Zhang Xiaohui’s subconscious movement when she leaned against the wall, and their expressions changed. They exchanged glances. Everyone knew.
Zhang Xiaohui recovered her balance and hurriedly glanced at her stomach in alarm. Her hand was shielding it. It took her a while to recover her wits, but her first response was anger.
“Mo Beihan, have you gone crazy? How can you hit a woman? What kind of man are you?”
Mo Beihan’s lips twitched. “I’m sorry. To me, you are just a middle-aged lady. Your words were so infuriating that I thought it would be alright to teach you a lesson.”
Zhang Xiaohui: “…”
Everyone: “…”
They had not thought so at first, but when Mo Beihan said that, they felt that he made some sense?
“Hehe…”
Some of them burst out laughing.
Zhang Xiaohui blew her top. “Mo Beihan, you’re the one who struck me, so you’re in the wrong. I certainly won’t let you off. I would like you to see if there are still laws in the land?”
Mo Beihan laughed and said, “I only pushed you. You were fine after you leaned against the wall. What are you so upset about? Are you afraid that I’ve hurt you?”
“Why don’t I ask a doctor to examine you and see where you’re hurt? How about that?”
Zhang Xiaohui’s expression stiffened.
If a doctor really examined her, she would not be able to conceal her pregnancy any longer.
“Stop quibbling!” Zhang Xiaohui roared.
Mo Beihan grunted coldly. “Why? Are you afraid to be examined? Perhaps you’ve done something shameful and you’re afraid that someone will find out. That’s why you don’t dare to go.”
“You…”
“What about me? I grew up with Yao Yao’s older cousins. Now that her family members are all away, I’m a little more protective of her. But you, her own mother, can say something so filthy. I think Yao Yao is not even your daughter. You treasure Gu Ruoqing, but are so nasty to Yao Yao. You’re not fit to be her mother.”
Zhang Xiaohui’s expression stiffened, but only a little. She only sniggered when she looked at Gu Qingyao!
“If she’s not my daughter, then whose daughter is she? Are you saying she’s a foundling that I brought back? Mo Beihan, you’d better take responsibility for your words. If this girl is not my daughter and the Gu family doesn’t want her, what will become of her?”
Mo Beihan laughed coldly. “Do you think the Gu family is like you? I believe the Gu family would be delighted if Yao Yao really isn’t your daughter. After all, you’re an embarrassment as a mother.”
“You…”
“Get lost! If you don’t go, I’ll send you flying again.”
Zhang Xiaohui choked back her retort. She breathed heavily as she said, “Make your father hurry back. He must come back before the new year!”
With that retort, Zhang Xiaohui left.
Mo Beihan turned to see Gu Qingyao weeping.
“Elder Brother Beihan, do you really think she’s not my mother? She’s so nice to my elder sister, but has never cared about me. She only hopes that I’ll meet with misfortune wu wu wu…”
All the older ladies sighed to see the little girl crying. They gathered around to comfort her. “Don’t cry. Don’t listen to your mother. Some parents have many children, but they don’t always love them all. Your mother is a little partial to your sister, but you still have your father! Don’t cry!”
Gu Qingyao said sadly, “She never cared much about Father before. Why does she insist that Father come back now? The year is almost over and Father will certainly spend the new year at Third Elder Uncle’s house. What is so urgent that she insists on Father coming back?”
Gu Qingyao sobbed as she spoke. Everyone comforted her and told her to go home.
Everyone wondered why Zhang Xiaohui wanted Gu Yunshen back. Later on, Zhang Xiaohui sought Gu Qingyao out several times. Gu Yunshen finally came home at the end of the year, after a severe snowstorm.
