Chapter 100: Sports Meet Battlefield

Bai Lianyue was startled, turned around, and when she saw the newcomer was Li Xiuyun, she froze there in a daze.

She came over, and Li Xiuyun immediately noticed her.

She kept hiding behind her, watching what she was doing.

When she confirmed that she was targeting Meng Shutang and Xin Xin, she finally sprang out.

Her daughter had already become a vegetative patient, and her granddaughter and great‑granddaughter must not be harmed any further.

"Godmother, after all these years without seeing you, you old lady… are you all right?"

Li Xiuyun was a plain‑spoken old woman; even though she knew that her son‑in‑law had an affair with her goddaughter in the past few years, she still didn't think Bai Lianyue was a bad woman.

She just regarded it as two youngsters being immature, the novelty having passed,

and they would each eventually return to their families.

Later, she learned that Bai Lianyue had never married; everything she had said before was a lie to her.

Her wisdom had long settled in years of self‑blame and sorrow, so she would not believe her false pretenses.

She picked up her phone, deleted those few photos in the album, then tossed the phone to Bai Lianyue, "Get out quickly, don't let me see you again."

"If I ever catch you secretly filming my granddaughter and great‑granddaughter again, I'll go to the Meng family garden and scold you two as a dog‑couple."

"Bai Lianyue, if you truly don't mind the embarrassment, go ahead and come."

Having said that, the old woman walked away immediately.

Bai Lianyue glared viciously at Li Xiuyun, then turned and left.

Back in the car, she called Bai Cixian, "Daughter, I examined that child carefully; you guessed correctly."

The autumn sports meet of Montessori Bilingual Kindergarten finally opened.

The Montessori Bilingual Kindergarten's autumn sports meet finally opened.

Gu Yunci and Song Yilin arrived early, and they stared intently at the entrance.

After five minutes, Meng Shutang appeared in view, holding Xin Xin.

Meng Shutang wore simple athletic wear; the fitted top outlined her sleek, upright shoulders, neck, and waist, which was slender yet strong, graceful and delicate.

The sports pants on her lower body made her legs appear straight and long; her high ponytail was neatly tied, swaying lightly with each step.

Her clear eyes shimmered like rippling water, her lips a plump cherry‑red, exuding a radiant aura; her beauty was strikingly aggressive.

Xin Xin wore light, comfortable sports clothes, cute and tidy, hopping along like a little bouncing baby rabbit.

Seeing Gu Yunci and Song Yilin, she greeted enthusiastically, "Uncle Gu, Yilin."

The two of them came to their side, and the four stood together.

Some family members who saw them started commenting, "These two kids must be a dragon‑phoenix twin; they both look like their father."

Meng Shutang heard this and turned pale.

Song Yilin quickly explained, "Auntie, Xin Xin and I are not a dragon‑phoenix twin; this gentleman is my uncle."

That parent said, "Then Xin Xin must be your uncle's daughter; you see they're cut from the same mold, it can't be wrong."

Meng Shutang's cherry‑red lips pressed together slightly, and her hand gradually clenched.

Gu Yunci glanced at her, then his gaze returned to Xin Xin; in his deep eyes flickered delicate soft light, his expression unusually gentle and affectionate.

This morning, he asked Qin Zheng again about investigating Meng Shutang's affairs abroad.

"Nothing yet," Qin Zheng said as he watched him fondle Xin Xin's photo, "President Gu, if you truly doubt, you can conduct a DNA paternity test."

"Shut up." He stopped him on the spot; he knew this method all too well.

But unless absolutely necessary, he would never use it.

First, he feared that Xin Xin might be Meng Shutang's child but not his.

Second, he didn't want Xin Xin to suffer any harm.

What that parent was about to say, Meng Shutang cut off, "The director is about to announce the precautions."

The director stepped onto the stage, gave a brief opening speech, mentioned the precautions, and then announced today's competition events.

The first event was a relay race, with the babies competing together with "dad."

When the competition began, amid the cheers, Meng Shutang heard Bai Cixian's voice; she thought it was an illusion until she turned her head and saw her standing right behind her.

Bai Cixian stared at Gu Yunci without blinking, "Sis, this is a park, not a kindergarten."

Bai Cixian stared at Gu Yunci, "Sister, this is a park, not a kindergarten."

The kindergarten's venue was too small, so they came to Xihu Gongyuan and fenced off a patch of open ground as a temporary sports field.

In fact, besides Bai Cixian, many residents of the neighborhood came to watch.

Meng Shutang's expression was indifferent, "I'm not your sister; don't arbitrarily forge connections."

Gu Yunci, together with the other two, had a smooth relay and took first place.

Xin Xin came to Meng Shutang's side holding a prize, her little mouth sweetly praising Gu Yunci as great and such.

Bai Cixian, irritated by what she heard, took advantage of the crowd's distraction; while Meng Shutang was unprepared, she suddenly pushed Xin Xin from behind.

"Ah!" Xin Xin shouted in surprise and lunged forward.

Gu Yunci saw it, threw himself forward, using his body as a solid shield beneath.

With a "Bang", he slammed heavily onto the ground, his hands tightly clutching Xin Xin.

The onlookers all turned pale with fright; Xin Xin was also scared, yet she clung tightly to his neck, "Uncle Gu, does it hurt?"

Gu Yunci looked at her and smiled, "Uncle doesn't hurt. Xin Xin, did you fall?"

Xin Xin shook her head, her voice trembling as she lowered it, "No."

Because there were many people and Xin Xin was small, she didn't realize someone had pushed her.

Bai Cixian, seeing that Xin Xin didn't report anything, walked over to Gu Yunci and said, "Brother Yunci, seeing how you care for Xin Xin so deeply moves me. If our child were born, it would be about this age, how could I bear to let go!"

Meng Shutang, having heard that, took Xin Xin into her arms; she didn't want Xin Xin to hear those words.

【61】 But Xin Xin still touched her face and asked, "Mom, does Uncle Gu have children?"

Meng Shutang knitted her brows, "Mom doesn't know, let's have a good competition."

Xin Xin hugged her, turned her head, and saw Lu Shenyang standing outside the safety line.

"Uncle."

Xin Xin struggled to get off Meng Shutang, ran to Lu Shenyang's side, and took his hand.

Gu Yunci looked from afar; it was fine that the older one liked him, but the younger one was also this clingy to him.

He stood with hands on his hips, feeling depressed.

Meng Shutang walked over, "President Gu, since Miss Bai has come, let's play that game down there together, the three of us!"

She turned to leave, but Gu Yunci grabbed her wrist, "We agreed in the elevator on Sunday that we four would play together; you unilaterally tearing up the agreement means you want to be a puppy."

Meng Shutang, "My older brother Lu Shenyang has come, please let go of me."

Lu Shenyang saw Gu Yunci grabbing Meng Shutang, glanced over, and walked over.

Xin Xin saw this, also looked over, and instantly understood what was happening, "Uncle, stand here and don't move; we'll come over after we finish the game."

Xin Xin ran over, Bai Cixian gloated, "Xin Xin, you have to play the game with Uncle Lu Shenyang."

Xin Xin glared at her, all cute and fierce, "No way, I want to play with Daddy Gu."

Under Bai Cixian's shocked and angry gaze, she walked over, first took Song Yilin's hand, then grabbed Meng Shutang's hand, "Mom, we're playing the game with Uncle Gu."

Meng Shutang looked at her, gently, "Uncle has come, let's play with Uncle."

Xin Xin pouted, both fierce and soft, "Mom, you forgot the story of 'a promise is worth a thousand gold'?"

Meng Shutang said nothing and followed them.

The game below is a three-legged race with four people; Xin Xin and Song Yilin held hands and stood in the middle, while Meng Shutang and Gu Yunci stood on the sides.

They two were originally supposed to put their arms around each other, but Meng Shutang refused to hold his hand or touch shoulders.

Seeing them fall behind, Xin Xin and Song Yilin became so anxious their little faces turned red.

"We've played, we can't win."

"Yilin, will we end up last?"

Gu Yunci coughed lightly, "If 'Mom' were willing to hold my hand, we could go faster."

This game, just holding hands isn't enough; the two adults need to coordinate their bodies well.

As the words fell, the two little cuties all looked at Meng Shutang.
