Chapter 49

She’s Not My Mother

Gong Mo shook her head. “I’m just afraid that you feel upset. They’re disdainful of you because they’re people who look down on the poor and look up to the rich. But, so long as you’re willing to work hard, no one will look down on you no matter where you come from.”

He smiled. “That’s right. I’ll just have to work hard. Does it matter if I’m not the Second Young Master of the Sheng family anymore? They don’t want me anyway! I’ll fight for my own pride and I won’t rely on anyone! As for your pride, leave that to me.”

Gong Mo smiled. “That’s a lofty aspiration. You’ll have to work hard, then. The child will be born next year, so we can’t be too poor to afford diapers!”

“You’ll have everything so long as you stay with me,” comforted Sheng Nanxuan. “You’ll have whatever you want. Do you trust me?”

Gong Mo looked at him in a daze, feeling like she had been bewitched by him. From the bottom of her heart, she said, “I trust you.”

Sheng Nanxuan smiled satisfactorily. Cupping her face, he planted a kiss on her lips. “Alright! Since you’re willing to trust me, I’ll give you my all!”

Gong Mo snapped out of it and pushed him away hurriedly. She had somehow been touched by his bold words.

She suddenly recalled something and took out her phone. “Oh right. Look at this! When I went to look for Sheng Donglin that day, I saw him and Su Mo… uh, well, I thought that it would be useful, so I recorded them discussing trying to hurt us.”

With that said, she opened her video player.

At first, when Sheng Nanxuan saw the two of them going at it, he could not help but cast a look at Gong Mo. What was she thinking while recording these people having s*x? Gong Mo looked back at him, puzzled.

He coughed. “It’s nothing.”

After the video ended, Gong Mo locked her phone. Recalling that Su Mo had said the words “when he killed your fiancée back then” she asked, puzzled, “Did you kill Sheng Donglin’s fiancée?”

If so, it was natural that Sheng Donglin wanted to take revenge.

“It wasn’t me. It was Su Mo,” replied Sheng Nanxuan calmly.

Gong Mo was astonished. “Su Mo?!”

“She has liked Sheng Donglin since she was little and is a very jealous person. If not, why would she drug you?”

Gong Mo exhaled. “Why didn’t you explain yourself?”

“Why would I?” asked Sheng Nanxuan. “The only thing that Sheng Donglin wants to hear is the truth he wants to believe.”

“You should show the video to Uncle, then. He’ll forgive you.”

“You’re too naive. He won’t do that.”

“Why not?”

“I’ll tell you next time. Anyway, if the opportunity to kick me out arises, he will use it to his own benefit.”

“What about Auntie! You can go to Auntie!” cried Gong Mo. “She looked me up yesterday. She’s very concerned about you!”

“She looked for you?” Sheng Nanxuan asked anxiously. “What for?”

Gong Mo narrated the events of the day before and explained, “I wanted to tell you yesterday, but you said to discuss it today.”

“Oh, it’s alright,” comforted Sheng Nanxuan. “There’s no use going to her.”

“Why!” Gong Mo couldn’t understand him. Why was there no use in whatever he did? How complicated were wealthy families?!

“Because she isn’t my biological mother,” explained Sheng Nanxuan.

“… What?” asked Gong Mo blankly.

“Why else do you think that Sheng Donglin hates me so much? It’s because I’m his father’s illegitimate son. He’s upset that my mother s.n.a.t.c.hed away the man his mother loved and that I share the same father as him. So, after his fianceé died, he blamed it on me without any investigation.”
