Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Are We Sure the Child is My Brother’s?

“Didn’t your mother handle your father’s mistresses using this same trick? Trust your mother, it will work this time.” Wan Xiumei gently rubbed her daughter’s cheek, her smile kind and loving.

Mo Shishi nodded, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. “Then… then I’ll say it just like that.”

“You, don’t say anything at all. Just cry. Leave the rest to your mother!” Wan Xiumei spoke, her lips curling upward, a glint of scheming flickering in her gaze.

Not long after, Old Mr. Mo entered, looking kindly at Mo Shishi. “Shishi, how are you feeling now? If you feel unwell, you must tell Grandpa. With Grandpa here, no one can bully you.”

Mo Shishi bit her lip, lowered her gaze, and tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

“Good child, don’t cry first. When you cry, Grandpa’s heart aches along with you.” Old Mr. Mo had always doted on this generation of grandchildren. Mo Chengxuan was his golden treasure, and Mo Shishi was his silver treasure.

“Grandpa, I… I don’t know what to do.” Mo Shishi said, then burst into loud, heart-wrenching sobs.

Old Mr. Mo was rattled by her crying, his heart thrown into turmoil. He turned to look at Wan Xiumei.

Wan Xiumei stood there, repeatedly sighing, and then, as if making a monumental decision, she eventually broke the silence. “Dad, you must stand up for Shishi in this matter.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely make Jinghan provide an explanation. How can our precious treasure be left standing outside their house all night?” The thought alone caused Old Mr. Mo’s heart to ache.

Wan Xiumei shook her head, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes. “Dad, it’s not just that. There’s… there’s more. Shishi is pregnant.”

“What!” Old Mr. Mo shot up from his chair, staring at Mo Shishi in disbelief. “This… What’s going on?”

“It’s… it’s from your last banquet, when Jinghan got drunk and bullied Shishi,” Wan Xiumei sighed. “Otherwise, why would Shishi disregard her reputation and cling to Jinghan? Dad, you must stand up for her. If this gets out, an unmarried girl getting pregnant will ruin her!”

Old Mr. Mo didn’t suspect Wan Xiumei and Mo Shishi of lying. He paced back and forth in the hospital room, then stopped abruptly, squinting slightly as he took out his phone to call Qiu Ying and Xiao Tingshen.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiao exploded upon hearing the news.

They didn’t know whether to be happy or saddened, but one thing was certain—they had to visit the hospital to take stock of the situation.

The two rushed over to the hospital and ran smack into Xiao Lingyun and Ye Weiwei.

Ye Weiwei had gone out to buy food and had been cornered by Xiao Lingyun.

The two didn’t have time to say much.

“Mom, Dad, are you here to see Weiwei at the hospital?” Xiao Lingyun blinked innocently, smiling, completely unaware of the earth-shattering news waiting for her.

Qiu Ying shot her daughter a look, speaking irritably, “We’re here to see Shishi. She’s pregnant with your brother’s child. Two months already!”

“Clatter…”

The drink in Ye Weiwei’s hand fell to the ground. She immediately bent to pick it up, her face calm but smiling as she turned to Xiao Lingyun. “Congratulations to your brother.”

“Wait a second!” Xiao Lingyun grabbed Ye Weiwei’s wrist and turned to her mother, her expression serious. “My beloved mother, you can’t say things like that without evidence. Are you sure the child is my brother’s?”

“What evidence do you need? Would your Grandpa Mo lie? They’ve already confirmed it. The child was conceived the night your brother stayed at the Mo Family’s house!” Qiu Ying said casually, glancing faintly at Ye Weiwei. “Miss Ye, did you see that clearly? Our Jinghan isn’t someone to be underestimated.”
