Chapter 1484: Great to Have You (44)
Thereafter, he added, “But this is ultimately your family’s private issue. I haven’t married you, is it really okay to go as your boyfriend?”
“Why not? My grandfather is just trying to make things clear, right?” Wu Pingyang insisted on him going along with her. “Just go with me to take a look. I heard from my mother that Mu Wansheng’s eyes have been treated.”
“She really has a blessed life. I’m impressed.”
“Isn’t there a saying that goes, ‘good people don’t live long, but the evil live a thousand years to harm others’?”
Luo Hang laughed in amusement. “I can tell, your relationship with her is really terrible.”
“It has been like this since we’re young. It isn’t a matter of one or two days.” Speaking of this, Wu Pingyang asked him, “Is that Xia Banqin still contacting you?”
“She called me, but I didn’t pick up. She had originally wanted custody of the child, but how could I have given it to her? I’m already being magnanimous by allowing her to see the child twice every month. What else does she want?”
“Well done. You can’t give her the custody of the child. It’s right to have her in your clutches like that. Otherwise, if she gets the child’s custody, she’ll have the upper hand.” Wu Pingyang was peeved once she thought about how Xia Banqin had taken her and Luo Hang’s intimate pictures to the Mu residence and dared to extort such a huge sum from them. She must be really crazy about money.
“I’m going back.”
“Alright. Drive safely.”
He nodded, then got up to leave.
Wu Pingyang also got up from the long bench and went back to her department.
She had just gone in when Lu Jingrao started criticizing, “Don’t you see that there are so many patients around? Where have you been?”
“My boyfriend was here. I went to meet him for a while.”
“He has to come once every day, and during your work hours? Tell him next time to come and find you when you’ve gotten off work. If you dare to go out for half an hour during your work hours again, I’ll add a demerit to your record.” With that, he left the department. Having been told off by him in front of so many colleagues, Wu Pingyang was extremely peeved.
“Isn’t our head your brother-in-law? I see he isn’t humane toward you at all. Looks like you don’t have a good relationship with your sister.”
Wu Pingyang let out a snort before rebutting her colleague, “Why do you care? You needn’t worry about such things. Get lost.”
“…”

The following morning, the skies were gloomy and rather dark. The weather was evidently not good.
Mu Wansheng and Fan Shixin packed up their house before heading to the Mu residence.
When Fan Shixin entered the front door with his hand in Mu Wansheng’s, he asked upon realizing that everyone was around, “Is this a family meeting or something? Why is everyone here?”
From how it seemed to him, a paternity test didn’t require the whole Mu family to be around, right? Wasn’t it enough if a few of the elders were around?
Wu Pingyang responded, “No, everyone gathered here because we want to witness the moment of truth. We were only waiting for you and Mu Qixing’s family to arrive.”
Mu Wansheng replied frankly, “I think there’s no need for this, actually…”
“You may think that there’s no need, but all of us think that this is very necessary. Not only has the outside world been engaging in heated debates about this, even amongst the Mu family members, there have been discussions about this. And this despite the fact that nobody says anything about it on the surface,” Wu Pingyang asserted strongly, without even waiting for her to finish speaking.
“Why didn’t we do a test a few years ago, then?” Mu Wansheng asked. “That was when the debate about this was the fiercest, wasn’t it?”
This question rendered the senior Mr. Mu completely speechless, yet he could not ignore it.
“I thought it’s fine that the outside world has been speculating about it, but I didn’t expect that our family members have been doing so as well.”
Mu Wansheng turned to Luo Hang, who was standing beside Wu Pingyang, and asked, “What is this jerk doing in our house?”
Wu Pingyang burst out in anger upon hearing this, “Who are you calling a jerk? He’s my boyfriend!”
“Luo Hang, of course. Who else could I be calling? Although Luo Hang’s ex-wife wasn’t a saint either, in my opinion, she was much better than you. At least she was completely devoted to Luo Hang, unlike you, getting together with him when you were with Shixin…”
“Cousin!” Wu Pingyang hollered. “I got you to come back today to do this paternity test, can you not rake up such ancient and useless matters from the past?”
Mu Wansheng intentionally wanted to blow her cover. She ignored the uncomfortable look on Luo Hang’s face and remarked bluntly, “The two of you are really compatible, huh? Since you insist on a paternity test, then so be it. Even though the results don’t matter to me at all.”
Wu Pingyang replied through gritted teeth, “That’s good, then.”
While they were speaking, Mu Qixing and Lu Jingrao arrived without their children.
In the presence of everyone, they then extracted Mu Wansheng and the senior Mr. Mu’s hair and passed it to the staff from the DNA test center. Thereafter, Fan Shixin’s phone rang. He left first as he had to deal with some matters and said that he would return later to fetch Mu Wansheng.
From the moment Mu Wansheng entered, she had not cast a single glance at Mrs. Mu at all. Although she knew that Mrs. Mu had her eyes fixed on her the whole time, she did not have a single inch of affection left toward this mother of hers anymore. To her, Mrs. Mu was but a stranger.
“Wansheng, the whole family is really happy that you’re able to stay alive. You’ve been through enough suffering, and your mother has been in deep regret these few years as well…”
The elderly Mr. Mu had yet to finish speaking when Mu Wansheng continued, “She won’t… she won’t be regretful for it. If given another chance, she would still do the same time. I’m definitely her biological child, but I’ve repaid her for giving me this life already. If all of you still hope for me to come back to the Mu residence, then don’t ever call her my mother anymore. I have no such mother. I won’t repeat these words a second time.”
Hearing how adamant she sounded, the senior Mr. Mu darted a glance at Mrs. Mu before nodding as he replied, “Alright, then. You’re no longer a child. If you insist, Grandfather can’t do anything about it either.”
“Wansheng!” Mrs. Mu couldn’t keep it in anymore. “The situation back then was really critical. As my daughter, didn’t you think about getting out of there yourself first?”
“That was because I could get out at the fastest speed while your leg was stuck. We could have both escaped unscathed, but you insisted on putting on an act!” Mu Wansheng’s voice was originally hoarse, but as she was extremely firm, there was a certain hardness in her voice. “You’d better know your limits.”
Mrs. Mu was about to reply to her, but Mu Wansheng did not give her this chance and simply turned to leave.
Upon the sight of this, Mu Qixing went after her.
“Cousin.”
Mu Wansheng turned back. “Yes?”
“Have your eyes really been completely cured?”
“Yes. It’s all thanks to the donor.”
“That’s simply great.” Mu Qixing was overwhelmed with joy. “I’m really happy for you. Cousin, it’s been really hard on you, but you’ve made it through.”
“Thank you. I’ll be doing plastic surgery in a few days too. After that, I won’t have to cover up my face anymore.”
Mu Qixing responded with sparkling eyes, “Really? Ahhhh, that’s wonderful! Future Brother-in-law is really beyond great. He really loves you a great deal.”
“Yeah, he’s really great to me. Right, why didn’t you bring your children out?”
“They were being naughty, so I didn’t bring them out.”
Mu Wansheng nodded and specially inquired, “How did Luo Hang and Wu Pingyang get together?”
