Chapter 499: Chapter 499

But now, thinking about the child, she looked at Zhou Guangsheng with a heartache and said, "Son, after all, you two are a couple. No matter how bad it has been, you’ve been together for so many years. It’s rare that she’s carrying your child. Let’s stop worrying about these issues. Reconcile with her, and from now on, live a good life together."

However, Zhou Guangsheng, despite feeling ashamed, had no choice but to speak up. He looked somewhat embarrassed as he said to the old lady, "Mother, let me tell you the truth. Even if Bai Jing is really pregnant, the child is not mine. In fact, when she was with me, she was already with another man. Many people have seen them together multiple times, and there are even photos. She kept delaying the divorce before agreeing all of a sudden because there was evidence."

But the old lady did not believe what Zhou Guangsheng said. She shook her head and said, "No, Xiao Jing said that Fang Xiu’s sister was framing him." The source of this content ɪs NovєlFіre.net

Zhou Guangsheng gritted his teeth. This Bai Jing really was dead set on forcing the old lady to make them reconcile, having preemptively settled everything on her own.

Seeing that the old lady did not believe what he said at all, Zhou Guangsheng became a bit angry and shouted, "Mother, do you think you understand Bai Jing better, or do I? If she really wasn’t capable of doing such things, do you think I would just believe what others say?"

The old lady fell silent for a while, also hesitating.

She knew her son well; he was definitely an honest man, and as a soldier, he wouldn’t lie. No matter what, he wouldn’t falsely accuse Bai Jing of such a thing.

If he could say it out loud, it just showed that such an incident with Bai Jing did indeed happen.

But thinking about Bai Jing’s pregnant belly, the old lady still insisted, "But when I came just now, it was her who picked me up from the train station. She really is pregnant. I even touched it myself. I think the child in her belly must be yours."

"Can you even tell whose child it is by looking?" Zhou Guangsheng was truly speechless now, he urgently raised a finger and swore to the old lady, "I swear the child is definitely not mine. Things she mentioned never happened."

Seeing Zhou Guangsheng so resolutely denying, the old lady became unsure as well and remained silent for quite a while.

After a considerable delay, she finally looked up at Zhou Guangsheng and said sorrowfully, "But what if it did happen? By the time you marry Fang Xiu, what will happen to the child?"

"Mother..." Zhou Guangsheng was speechless, not knowing how to explain.

The old lady gave Zhou Guangsheng a look, then she stepped back, "How about this, don’t get married yet. I won’t force you to break up with that Fang Xiu immediately. Let’s wait, wait until the child is born, we can do a blood test to determine if that child is indeed yours."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Guangsheng immediately shook his head, "Mom, everything has already been arranged for the marriage, I can’t postpone it."

"If you insist on getting married now, I won’t agree." The old lady, seeing this wouldn’t work, got quite annoyed and insisted strongly, "Besides, I’ve decided now. I will stay here and not go back. I will wait for Xiao Jing’s child to be born. I must clarify whether the child is yours. If the child is yours, no matter what, you cannot marry Fang Xiu. You have to be with Xiao Jing, regardless of what she did wrong in the past, it’ll all be forgiven."

"Mother, I can assure you that the child is not mine. Why should we wait for her to give birth?" Zhou Guangsheng tried to reason slowly with the old lady, "And don’t you find it odd? If that child were mine, why wouldn’t she come to me and instead had to bring you to the city? She knows that she can’t lie in front of me."

Because the old lady was really hoping for a grandson, she was very persistent, "Guangsheng, no matter what, just consider it for your mother, delay the wedding for a few months. If it’s certain the child isn’t yours, everyone will be at ease."

Zhou Guangsheng, thinking about all this messy situation which was actually none of his concern, became incredibly frustrated and finally said, "Mother, I don’t care about all this, don’t even say that Bai Jing and I可能 have a child, even if there really was a child, I wouldn’t be with her again. That kind of woman, whoever marries her is unlucky."

"Guangsheng, if you are , then I’ll just go and talk to that Fang Xiu directly." Seeing this, the old lady got angry and rushed towards the door, shouting, "I just can’t believe it, without my consent, I don’t think she would dare to marry into our Zhou Family as a daughter-in-law."

Zhou Guangsheng had to stop her, shouting, "Mother, don’t go, let me think about this for a while."

Zhou Guangsheng saw that he couldn’t persuade the old lady in one go, so he decided to skip this issue for now. He planned to talk to Fang Xiu first to see what her opinion was.

And he definitely needed to ask Bai Jing what exactly she wanted.

Back when they were husband and wife, he could say he held her in the palm of his hand, repeatedly accommodating her, but she hardly cared at all, never valuing their marriage. Now that they are divorced, she kept pestering endlessly, what exactly does she want?

Zhou Guangsheng settled the old lady down, arranged hot water for her at the guesthouse, and bought her some daily necessities. Then he instructed her, "Mother, you’ve been on the train for so long, rest well for a bit. I’ll come over in the evening and bring you something to eat."

Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately became anxious and asked, "Where will you bring it from? You don’t need to spend money to buy it, right?"

Zhou Guangsheng shook his head at her, "Don’t worry about it, I’ll bring you a meal."

The old lady, worried about her son spending money, said, "Just bring some food from your unit for your mother. Outside food is expensive, don’t waste money, save it, it’s not easy being alone outside, you still need to live in the future."

Seeing the old lady’s somewhat tired expression, Zhou Guangsheng nodded, "I know, just rest well."

Zhou Guangsheng’s hometown was far from here, and the old lady had taken a train for more than ten hours to get here, indeed feeling quite sleepy. After speaking with Zhou Guangsheng, she went to bed.

Zhou Guangsheng watched the old lady fall asleep, closed the door for her, and then went to Fang Pingying’s shop.

Fang Xiu knew Zhou Guangsheng would come, and had been waiting while working. Seeing him arrive, she immediately ran out, smiling and asking, "Did you settle the old lady down?"

Zhou Guangsheng nodded, took Fang Xiu’s hand, and asked in a low voice, "Were you wronged today? My mother is impulsive, she was deceived, didn’t understand the situation."

Fang Xiu shook her head, not intending to say much. However, Yu’er couldn’t help but blurt out, "Brother Guangsheng, you don’t know, the old lady is really strong. As soon as she arrived, she grabbed Sister Xiu’er’s hair, and Sister Xiu’er lost quite a bit of hair."

Hearing this, Zhou Guangsheng looked at Fang Xiu’s hair with pity, gripping her hand tighter, and said, "Xiu’er, I’m sorry, I didn’t know my mother..."
