Wang Lu, however, got very happy after knowing that the child was her son’s.

  Because Xie Zhuojun had been to several hospitals for check ups and all the doctors had said that he was physically sick and it won’t be possible to have any offspring in the future.

  But when Xie Zhuojun got a son, then it meant that Family Xie had an offspring!

  But the question was who was the mother?

  From the timing perspective, Shangguan Rouxue was undoubtedly the one!

  Xie Zhuojun had slept with other women only in the last two months. Even if someone was pregnant, then she could not possibly have given birth to a child so soon. What was more, he had already become incapable of being a father.

  Xie Zhuojun had a feeling that he was never going to get rid of Shangguan Rouxue and that Family Xie was going to go crashing down.

  He thought for a while and then walked out.

  Xie Zhuojun paid Shangguan Rouxue’s fare and carried her inside. Although he didn’t want to touch her, but Shangguan Rouxue was badly injured and had blood stains all over her, looking rather fragile. She didn’t even want to move.

  Shangguan Rouxue was very happy to see Xie Zhuojun again. Even her pain seemed to reduce a bit.

  She called him by his name intimately, “Zhuojun, I missed you so much. Did you miss me?”


  Xie Zhuojun didn’t want to talk to her. But his heart softened when he caught sight of her being injured. So he asked, “How did you get hurt so badly? Have you just come out of the hospital?”


  When this issue was mentioned, Shangguan Rouxue felt wronged. She didn’t need to pretend anything when tears started to gush out of her eyes.

  “Sister didn’t want to let me go. She wanted to ruin my face. She even shot me. If I hadn’t escaped in the chaos, you would have never met me ever again. Zhuojun, sister is so cruel. She even found some helpers to torture me. Any wrong words from me would make me suffer. They almost chopped off my ear. Look! My ear is still bleeding. Zhuojun, please get a doctor here, I can’t stand it anymore. It hurts so much.”


  Xie Zhuojun didn’t trust Shangguan Rouxue easily any more after being in trouble for so long because of her.

  He knew that soon everything would get back to the original point. He would still be in the same spot where he would have no idea what Shangguan Rouxue was thinking or if what she said was true.

  He felt like he was getting suffocated by the lies all over again.

  Xie Zhuojun started experiencing difficulty in breathing. His head got dizzy and the headache occurred again.

  He carried Shangguan Rouxue into a bedroom and let her lie down before calling a doctor to deal with her wounds.

  Shangguan Rouxue must not die. She was his son’s mother. However many mistakes she had made and however devious she was, she was still his son’s mother. He mustn’t allow his son to lose the mother not long after he was born.

  The doctor arrived soon. Shangguan Rouxue passed out because of losing too much blood.

  Wang Lu soon learnt about Shangguan Rouxue’s visit at Family Xie’s home. She left the selection of a nanny for her grandson, and hurried home immediately.

  Shangguan Rouxue is a jinx. She caused her family to die and now she had turned her face towards her family. She was never going to be accepted here.

  The moment Wang Lu came home, she took Xie Zhuojun to the study where the mother and the son started whispering.

  “Zhuojun, you must drive Shangguan Rouxue away. She can’t live here!”


  Xie Zhuojun paced back and forth in the study, furiously. “Mom, easier said than done. She is the child’s mother and we are a couple. We are not divorced yet. How can I drive her out? Also, she is badly injured at the moment and has nowhere to go. Should I let her sleep on the street? Then we will be the one to be blamed.”


  “Then divorce her!” Wang Lu hated Shangguan Rouxue so much that she didn’t want her to ruin her son’s life again.

  “She will get half of our properties if I divorce her. We aren’t doing well economically. We can’t even pay the bank’s debts. We can’t afford to give her any money.”


  “Then what should we do? She is jinxed and can’t stay at our home. Also, you have just got engaged with Min Jie who would immediately break off the engagement if Family Min gets to know about this. Min Jie is a good girl and her father is the principal of University X. We will get a huge order from the students to buy bedding. Our family is relying upon these orders.”


  Xie Zhuojun of course knew what condition was Family Xie in right now. But he had no options left.

  He got both anxious and angry. He had lost any residual love which he may have had towards her. He hated her and wanted her to die right now.

  She was, as Mu Qing had said, a scourge that lasted for thousands of years.

  Shangguan Rouxue was a strong woman. She recovered completely and ate a hearty breakfast the following morning.

  She had already tidied up when she saw Xie Zhuojun again.

  She no longer looked messy, just pale and pitiful, and she cried as she told her story.

  She blamed Shangguan Ning for all that had happened, including the early birth of the baby.

  Xie Zhuojun couldn’t stand it any more by the end of the story. He didn’t believe Shangguan Rouxue any more. He didn’t believe that Shangguan Ning would be so cruel as to get Shangguan Rouxue to give birth to a baby so early.

  He wasn’t sure about everything but he knew that Shangguan Ning had always liked children. He understood that Shangguan Ning was a gentle woman who would never involve an innocent child even if she was Shangguan Rouxue’s enemy.

  Xie Zhuojun’s heart skipped a beat when he thought of this matter. He shivered.

  He suddenly realized that maybe Shangguan Rouxue made the child come out earlier by herself.

  He had witnessed the scene when she had tried to bump herself against Jing Yichen. She didn’t care about the child. She was just using him.

  How could there be such a cruel mother in this world?

  He had only heard that some young mothers could be cruel to their own children to the extent of even killing them. He always thought that those were just stories far away from his life. Unexpectedly, however, the woman whom he had loved for so long and so deeply, turned out to be the cruelest.

  Why hadn’t he figured it out sooner?

  Why did it have to be Shangguan Rouxue who was his child’s mother?

  He had a strong feeling that his life was doomed!
