Chapter 4: Not My Own Child After All

If she's not his birth mother, I'm afraid in this little brat's eyes, his mother is completely unimportant!

If it weren't for Sijue, if it weren't to marry into the Fu Family, she wouldn't care about this little brat!

Five years ago, after Lu Xiwán died, she had thought she could marry into the Fu Family by using the child, but she didn't expect Fu Sijue and Old Master Fu to accept Fu Yao, yet they never mentioned marrying her.

She can only wait patiently; with Fu Yao around, someday she'll be able to enter the Fu Family's door.

Fu Sijue didn't notice her expression; his gaze fell only on the silent little fellow, and he ordered:

"The Si Family sent me a message saying they've hired Hypnotist Xuanshui; tomorrow I'll take Yao Yao to the Si Family."

Gu Qingmeng felt a secret joy in her heart; if Fu Yao recovers and the Fu Family gains an outstanding heir, her chances of becoming Mrs. Fu increase.

Gu Qingmeng bit her lip, thoughtfully saying, "How about I take Yao Yao instead? Fu Sijue, you're busy with your company's affairs, so don't let it be delayed."

"Fine. Tomorrow morning I'll have the driver take you there," Fu Sijue replied coolly.

Tomorrow he indeed has several important meetings, so letting Gu Qingmeng, his own mother, take him there is fine.

The next morning.

Gu Qingmeng arrived at the Si Family on time with Fu Yao, and following the servants' directions, they reached the Cui Mian Shi.

"Miss Gu, Miss Xuanshui said only Fu Young Master may enter alone."

"Why? I'm Yao Yao's mother! Of course I want to accompany him!"

Gu Qingmeng was somewhat displeased; as the future Mrs. Fu, mother of the heir Fu Yao, how could this damn Hypnotist block her at the door!

"Sorry, that's Miss Xuanshui's intention; please comply."

The Steward spoke respectfully but with a very firm posture; after all, this is the Si Family, so Gu Qingmeng endured, holding back her emotions and waiting outside.

Fu Yao's small hand pushed open the door to the Cui Mian Shi; inside, the light was a bit dim but warm and gentle, and the setting was very comfortable and cozy.

The little fellow looked up and saw his Xi Xi sister's mommy sitting on the sofa, as beautiful and gentle as in the photo.

"Mommy…"

Fu Yao froze for a moment, his lips pressed together as he subconsciously called out.

Lu Xiwán was startled.

Logically, this is Gu Qingmeng and Fu Sijue's child; she shouldn't be able to dislike it, but for some reason, seeing this child lift his head and softly call her "mommy"…

Her heart felt as if it had been violently grasped.

Lu Xiwán gathered her excess emotions and professionally guided Fu Yao.

Half an hour later.

On the soft bed, the Milk Group's eyes were tightly closed, tears at the corners of their eyes, murmuring "Mommy…"

Meanwhile, the woman who had finished the hypnosis had frosty eyes, a hideous expression… filled with murderous hatred.

During the hypnosis guidance and sorting process, it's inevitable to trace and uncover the child's emotional knot.

But she didn't expect… that Fu Yao's emotional knot would be his biological mother, nor that this child was so clever and resilient; when she tried to cover the nightmare she pulled from his heart, Fu Yao had already become aware.

Thinking of the things Gu Qingmeng had done, she touched Fu Yao's small face, her eyes filled only with coldness.

Outside the door.

Gu Qingmeng grew increasingly impatient, the burning in her eyes intensifying, and just as she was about to push the door open to enter the Cui Mian Shi, the door suddenly swung open.

A slender figure appeared before her; when she saw the woman's face, her gaze suddenly turned terrified, and she blurted out:

"—Lu Xiwán, how are you still alive?!"

No.

This is definitely not Lu Xiwán.

Although this face resembles Lu Xiwán by fifty or sixty percent, it's still not that woman.

Lu Xiwán has a tiny beauty mole at the corner of her lip.

Her expression fell into Lu Xiwán's eyes, and Lu Xiwán couldn't help but curl her lip in sarcasm.

Gu Qingmeng truly couldn't recognize herself; five years ago she fell from a mountain, her face was damaged, and after reconstruction she no longer quite resembled her former self.

Gu Qingmeng exhaled, and the Steward beside her stepped forward to explain: "Miss Gu, this is the Hypnotist we invited, Miss Xuanshui."

Gu Qingmeng had no goodwill toward Miss Xuanshui, whose cold demeanor resembled Lu Xiwán.

She stuck her head out toward the Cui Mian Shi, her tone a bit haughty:

"Miss Xuanshui, is the hypnosis over? May I take Yao Yao away?"

Lu Xiwán coldly glanced at her and spat out two words:

"No."

Gu Qingmeng frowned: "What are you, that you can just say no? That's my child; if I want to take him, I can…"

"Slap—"

The loud slap cut off Gu Qingmeng's endless chatter; she covered her swollen cheek, stared at Lu Xiwán in disbelief, her eyes reddening with anger:

"How dare you slap me? Do you know who I am...?"

"Who are you—"

Lu Xiwán's tone was so cold it could freeze, her gaze even more chillingly terrifying; Gu Qingmeng couldn't help but shiver.

Lu Xiwán's cold eyes narrowed, the corners filled with disgust and sarcasm, staring at her coldly:

"The future Mrs. Fu? Mother of the Fu Family heir? Or a selfish, ruthless beast who doesn't even care for his own child?"

Gu Qingmeng heard her accusations, and her heart gave a sudden thud, panic overwhelming her.

Could this woman have learned about the thing she did back then?
