Chapter 429: Chapter 429

Mrs. Wu watched her son eating sweetly.

"What’s really going on with the eldest? Don’t fool me with something like a sprained ankle. I don’t believe it."

Just now, seeing the two faces, one big and one small, Mrs. Wu almost burst into tears. If someone said this child had nothing to do with their family, she wouldn’t believe it.

Wu Weiguo sighed; this was a scandal of epic proportions.

"Mom, Jiang Xiaoxiao is my daughter."

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s true lineage finally came to light.

Mrs. Wu, holding back tears, asked.

"Since she’s our family’s child, then bring her back into the family. Look at how much fate this child has with our family.

She’s good friends with Wu Fei, and saved our little Cheng. Tell me, isn’t she naturally a seed of the Wu family? Her medical skills are praised by even your father. You have no idea how much Mr. Feng likes this child, almost wishing to take her home as a student."

Mrs. Wu felt overwhelming joy, wishing she could go out immediately, pull Jiang Xiaoxiao in, and tell her she was her grandmother, her biological grandmother.

Wu Weiguo shook his head, sighed, "You only asked if this child was mine, but you didn’t ask who the child’s mother is."

Mrs. Wu realized something was off.

If the child’s mother had a common background, Wu Weiguo wouldn’t be asking her .

"Who is the child’s real mother?"

Wu Weiguo wiped the stain on his mouth, a sarcastic expression showing at the corner of his lips.

"Ye Hua!? How is that possible? The wife of Fang family’s second son, wasn’t Fang Zhiyuan close to you? You are... you..."

This was clearly a third-party interference, and frankly puts in the context of illicit affairs.

But Mrs. Wu couldn’t bring herself to say it, after all, this is her most cherished son. No matter what truly happened with those affairs back in the day!

Whether her son suffered injustice or it truly happened, her son had spent twenty years making amends.

Regardless of rights and wrongs, her son’s matters should be left in the past.

But she doesn’t believe her son would do such a thing.

Wu Weiguo lifted his head and looked at his mother.

"Back then, Ye Hua conspired with others to set a trap for me. After I was drunk, she slept with me... originally thinking to use it to blackmail me. But, contrary to their expectations, I couldn’t care less about the incident, leading to what happened later.

That incident was a trap set by others, I just didn’t expect Ye Hua would have my child. And that woman had a malicious mind; after having the child, she pretended it was the Fang family’s child, pregnant all the way until birth, and swapped the child secretly at the hospital.

If it weren’t for this child’s tenacity, she might have died a long time ago."

Whenever Wu Weiguo recalled what Ye Hua had done to his daughter, he wished that woman would disappear from the world.

Although that woman’s current condition is as good as dead, he still cannot quell his hatred.

Mrs. Wu suddenly understood, "No wonder I always heard rumors about Xiaoxiao’s biological mother being Ye Hua, being a Fang family child. Turns out there’s such a story involved; this Ye Hua really is despicable.

She intentionally swapped the child, knowing this child wasn’t the Fang family’s offspring. The child really has a hard fate."

Thinking about Jiang Xiaoxiao’s experiences, although many were rumors, Mrs. Wu felt distressed.

The Wu’s children grew up pampered like being in a honeypot, which child wasn’t doted upon from childhood?

But her eldest son’s daughter was abandoned by her own mother; her biological father had no idea. Though it was said her foster parents treated her well, one can imagine, with many children in the foster family, it’s impossible to give each child undivided attention.

This child must have suffered many grievances.

"What are you planning to do now?"

Currently, the child’s identity and situation are extremely awkward. If she is acknowledged, it means exposing the relationship between Ye Hua and Wu Weiguo from years ago.

Wu Weiguo can finally live a peaceful life; revealing that relationship would only lead to people thinking there’s something improper between him and Ye Hua.

Words can be frightening; when they spread, who knows how the story will be twisted.

The Wu family’s reputation would be ruined, and the Fang family wouldn’t fare much better, likely hating the Wu family.

But to not acknowledge her, Jiang Xiaoxiao is the most innocent. She had done nothing wrong in this mess, just fell victim to an unkind mother.

Mrs. Wu couldn’t bear it; the Wu bloodline was wandering outside, and her son had finally had a child, yet couldn’t acknowledge it.

What do you call this?

Wu Weiguo shook his head, glanced outside, still able to hear Jiang Xiaoxiao and Wu Fei’s voices from the kitchen.

Crisp and melodious, serene and calm.

This child is very much like him – in crises, handling things without haste, and this child is indeed very likable.

Impossible not to daughter.

"Ye Hua will be dealt with; she’ll keep her mouth shut. But I can’t acknowledge Xiaoxiao. If I acknowledge her, she’d bear the stigma of being an illegitimate child, even worse than that of a bastard. I’m already in this state; I can’t let this child suffer with me.

Now that she’s married into the Song family, her life has become stable, and the Song family will protect her thoroughly. Moreover, Mr. Feng, Old Song, Elder Meng all recognize her, and her future is boundless.

I, as a father, have never raised her for a single day, nor do I want to drag her down further because of myself. As long as she has a good life, what does acknowledgment matter!"

Wu Weiguo’s words settled the matter, Mrs. Wu’s face was full of conflict.

This is the eldest’s only child.

Not acknowledging her now will leave the eldest alone.

It’s cruel to have a biological daughter but unable to recognize her.

Mrs. Wu started to cry.

"Mom, don’t do this; otherwise, the kids will wonder what’s going on! Mom!"

Wu Weiguo quickly advised.

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Wu Fei really overheard, and entered carrying tea cups.

Mrs. Wu’s eyes were red, obvious signs of crying.

Wu Fei was dumbfounded, "Grandma! What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao calmly handed tea to Mrs. Wu.

"The wind surely blew sand into Grandma’s eyes; this weather does that, suddenly filling your mouth with sand."

Mrs. Wu looked at her biological granddaughter but couldn’t acknowledge her, causing another flow of tears.

She turned away, covering her face to cry.

This time, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn’t help it, her attempt to ease fell flat.

Feeling a sharp pang in her chest, Jiang Xiaoxiao rushed out.

Wu Fei followed her out, as Jiang Xiaoxiao’s expression seemed very bad.

"What’s wrong with you? How come you’re throwing up ?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I’m fine!"

Wu Fei worried immensely! "Why don’t I take you to the hospital for a check-up? You really don’t seem fine."

"Take her to the hospital for a look; this won’t do!"

Wu Weiguo and Mrs. Wu both came outside to see Jiang Xiaoxiao in this state, Wu Weiguo looked very worried, thinking the child had thrown up twice in front of him, this certainly didn’t seem like nothing.
