She wasn’t going to go back to the Capital empty handed. She was going to ruin at least one of them, whether it was Tang Mo’er or Lin Shiyu!
Dark resentment twisted through her mind like poisonous vines.
…
In the hospital.
The injury on An’an’s left chest was recovering well, except for the two drops of acid, which had left a mark on her delicate skin. The doctor had treated her wound but apologized, “Mrs Gu, due to the effects of the acid, there will be a scar left on Miss An’an’s chest.”
Tang Mo’er was filled with guilt, An’an’s skin was so delicate, just like a boiled egg. Her skin was supple and simply flawless, but now she was going to have a scar on her chest. That was a woman’s most private and cherished areas. It was all her fault.
“Doctor, is there any way to get rid of the scar?” Tang Mo’er asked.
“Mrs Gu, when Miss An’an’s condition gets better, we can make use of aesthetic treatments to remove the scar.”
A soft voice was heard, An’an stretched out her tiny hand and held onto Tang Mo’er. “Little sister-in-law, don’t worry about it. I’m fine.”
…
Along the corridor.
Gu Mohan stood tall by the door, Yan Dong was beside him while reporting, “President, I’ve checked. Qin Yawen was behind it, but she was able to escape.”
Hearing Qin Yawen’s name, Gu Mohan raised a good-looking brow before he revealed a spurious smile.
“President, why are you laughing?” Yan Dong was perplexed.
Gu Mohan had both hands in his trouser pocket, his deep and magnetic voice revealed a hint of amusement. “Yan Dong, don’t you find this amusing? It’s understandable for a mother to dislike her biological daughter, but for a mother to splash acid on her daughter’s face and ruin her appearance. Why do I get the feeling that Mo’er isn’t Qin Yawen’s… biological daughter.”
Tang Mo’er wasn’t Qin Yawen’s biological daughter? Gu Mohan’s words took Yan Dong’s breath away.
“President, I agree that this is a peculiar situation. How on earth would there be a mother who behaves like Qin Yawen, moreover… why would she want to ruin Madam’s appearance?”
That’s right, why would she do such a thing?
Gu Mohan’s deep and narrow eyes narrowed into a sharp gaze. How did Mo’er’s face even pose a threat to Qin Yawen? Why did she even have to resort to being so rancorous and splashing acid?
The two drops of acid had left a scar on An’an’s skin. That huge amount of acid on Mo’er’s face would have caused a devastating effect, Qin Yawen was indeed ruthless.
“An’an, how is my An’an?” Huo Yanmei had rushed over and she wanted to enter the hospital ward.
“Mother,” Gu Mohan greeted her, “I have some questions for you.”
Huo Yanmei halted her footsteps. “Mohan, what did you want to ask me about?”
Gu Mohan’s deep and narrow eyes landed on Huo Yanmei’s face, he asked calmly, “Dad never stopped having mistresses outside all these years. Without fail, each and every one was selected with Lin Xuanji’s appearance in mind. This time, when Dad arrived in Karghalik, he was obsessed with Mo’er right after taking one glimpse of her. I’d like to ask, is there any resemblance between Mo’er and Lin Xuanji?”
Huo Yanmei gasped and stepped back, she didn’t expect Gu Mohan to make such an association.
Her gaze was nervous and she averted her eyes. “Mohan, why are you asking me such a thing?”
“Mother,” Gu Mohan smirked, his gaze was dull, so dull it seemed cold but it was just like sharp beams of x-rays. He seemed to be able to look into her mind and read her thoughts. “Back then, you were best friends with Lin Xuanji. Why are you panicking when I’m just asking about Lin Xuanji? Wasn’t she your best friend?”
Panicking?
The corner of Huo Yanmei’s lips contorted, her son’s gaze was too overpowering and she didn’t dare to have eye contact with him. “I’m not panicking, it’s been a long time and I can’t really recall things from the past. Tang Mo’er doesn’t resemble Lin Xuanji at all.”
Doesn’t resemble Lin Xuanji at all.
Gu Mohan didn’t have much of an expression, he signaled Yan Dong with a gaze.
Yan Dong had understood his intentions, he nodded his head respectfully and turned around before taking his leave.
…
Gu Mohan had something on and he took his leave from the hospital. Huo Yanmei took the opportunity and called Tang Mo’er out for a private conversation.
“Mother,” Tang Mo’er greeted Huo Yanmei.
Huo Yanmei humphed but she didn’t acknowledge her greeting. She asked, “Tang Mo’er, you’ve contracted a poison, are you able to get pregnant?”
Tang Mo’er’s heart palpitated.
“I’ve obtained An’an’s health report from the doctor. Her leukemia index has risen again, she can’t stall the surgery for much longer. Mohan needs a child, I need the cord blood to save An’an’s life.”
Tang Mo’er’s beautiful face instantly went pale, how was she going to bear a child for Mr Gu with just one month left in her life?”
But, An’an’s condition…
“Mom, could you please… could you wait…”
“Wait? You can afford to wait but An’an can’t. An’an had even tried her best to save you just now, are you trying to harm her? Tang Mo’er, how could you be so vicious?”
Faced with her mean and sarcastic accusations, Tang Mo’er hurriedly shook her head. “I’m not…”
“That’s enough, since you’re not capable of doing it, you should give other women the chance to do it. I’ve prepared a woman, Lingling…” Huo Yanmei said.
Lingling appeared.
Lingling was 20 years old, she had a beautiful figure and most importantly, her face bore a great resemblance to Tang Mo’er.
“Tang Mo’er, I can acknowledge your status as my son’s wife. But I really do need a grandchild, I need the cord blood. Since you’re not capable of bearing a child, let Lingling do the job. Lingling will follow you home later on, when Mohan comes home at night, you shall hide in the bathroom and have Lingling take over your place on the bed. Mohan can sleep with Lingling, she must get pregnant.”
Tang Mo’er reeled back, as if slapped. No… she didn’t want that to happen.
Mr Gu was hers and belonged to her only. If he were to have a child, the only person who would give birth to Mr Gu’s child was her.
She didn’t want Mr Gu to have a child with other women.
The thought of that possibility had her heart wrenching in pain. Her long eyelashes fluttered and she pleaded pitifully, “Mother, could you please wait for just one month, I…”
She only had one month’s time left, couldn’t they just stall their plans and wait for a month?
She didn’t want anything bad to happen to An’an. If possible, she would donate her bone marrow to save An’an, she just wasn’t able to witness Mr Gu sleeping with and having a child with other women.
Could they just wait till she passed away? Wait till she’s dead, then Mr Gu could go ahead and approach other women. All she needed was one month, then she wouldn’t have to suffer and witness him with another woman.
Couldn’t they just give her one more month’s time?
Just one month,
Don’t force her.
Huo Yanmei was apathetic. “Lingling, follow her home later on. As long as you get pregnant, I’ll make sure to compensate you well.”
“Thank you, Madam.”
…
Champagne Apartments.
Lingling entered Tang Mo’er’s room, she noticed the huge bed that was covered with a silk blanket at first glance. She ran over and made herself comfortable on the huge bed.
“Wow, this bed is huge and soft, it must be comfortable when I have sex on it tonight.” Lingling laughed.
Tang Mo’er’s delicate face was cold as ice. “Get up from the bed and scram!”
She wanted this audacious woman to get out.
Lingling sat up, looking at Tang Mo’er calmly and she pouted her red lips.
