Indeed, she should be as happy as Tiantian since the family had embraced their reunion.

But she felt inexplicably depressed and sad…

After eating a little porridge for breakfast, she went back to her room.

Tiantian thought he could not understand his mom’s feeling, so he went to the study to find Daddy.

Huo Yunchen was having a meeting. Since the headquarters had been moved to the capital, many things needed to be dealt with.

Then Tiantian obediently took a book to read, which was larger than his own head, and sat on the sofa. It was not known whether he could understand it or not, but his expression was quite focused.

Bai Qingqing lay on the bed, utterly confused, and sent Liu Runan a piece of crying meme.

Liu Runan had a hangover. She was awakened by the sound of the text message on her cell phone, and subconsciously turned over to find the phone.

But she found a man sleeping next to her—alright, last night she drank too much and the man took her back.

She was suddenly alarmed and sat up to look at herself.

Her clothes were intact, and her body was not abnormal…

“You’re awake!”

The man rolled over and asked gently. When she saw his face, Liu Runan felt as if she were dreaming.

“Gu Bei’an.”

It turned out to be him. Last night she thought she herself was drunk too much, but the man was really Gu. Eight years had passed. He still looked exactly like before.

He seemed to receive a special treatment of time. The past time didn’t let him look old, but made him more attractive.

“Last night you drank too much, so I took you back to my home. Don’t worry, nothing happened between us.”

Gu Bei’an smiled and stood up from the bed.

“You can sleep for a while. I’ll pour some honey water for you. Drinking it will make you more comfortable.”

He did not allow her to refuse him and walked out of the room on his own.

His tall and thin figure was dressed in light gray cotton pajamas, a style of warm house-husband.

Liu Runan tapped her head, got into the bathroom and sat on the toilet to answer Bai Qingqing’s message.

“Crying like this early in the morning, your husband must be drowned by your tears.”

Then she sent a sticker of smirk.

Bai Qingqing received Liu Runan’s message, and re-answered her with grievances.

“Liu Runan, do you know who the man was that year? The man sleeping with me?”

“Who was it? Would it be Huo?” Liu Runan responded lightly.

Bai Qingqing was shocked, “How do you know?”

This reaction implied that her guess was right.

Liu sat upright and secretly said, “Only idiots like you don’t know. Can’t you see that our son and Huo look so like each other and that they are almost carved in the same mold? Only you believe it is just a coincidence.”

“Liu Runan, did Huo Yunchen already know this earlier? So he made excuses to marry me. He didn’t really love me.” She quickly typed a series of words, and then added a series of stickers of grievances and crying.

“Hey, woman, enough, enough. You have already got that excellent man, but you are still unsatisfied. If you don’t want, you may break up with him. Shen Siyu is waiting for your man for a long.”

Liu Runan really wanted to wake up her friend’s papaya head with her mobile phone, and she sent a series of stickers to show her feeling.

Bai Qingqing returned her stickers of beating. “Liu Runan, who are you backing?”

“Of course, Mr. Huo.”

Oh, how could she say this to her!

Bai Qingqing threw her cell phone and caught the quilt. Back and forth in her head, she was thinking about their living together for more than a month.

She was rather confused and her mind was chaotic!

When she lifted the quilt again, she found the old lady’s maid stood by the bed and bowed respectfully, “The old lady wants to see you.”

The old lady wanted to see her. Yesterday, her sharp eyes really made her shiver when the lady looked at her.

But she must see her again.

The old lady was lying on the bed, looking emaciated and morbid. Compared with her arrogance before, she was a totally different person.

Bai Qingqing was pushed by the servant in a wheelchair to the old lady’s bed. Then the maid backed off.

In this large antique room, she and the old lady were left alone. It was so quiet that she could hear her heartbeats.

She didn’t speak first, because she didn’t know how to face a sick old woman who almost wanted to kill her.

The old lady’ voice was weak. “Miss Bai, I’m sorry, I made you suffer yesterday. It’s all my fault. I was too credulous with Shen Siyu. I made you wronged.”

“Then are you willing to believe me now?”

Bai Qingqing looked at the grandmother’s skinny face, her heart filled with complex feelings.

The lady’s slack skin gently ripped twice. Her eyes still looked cold and proud.

“I’m sorry, although Tiantian is Yunchen’s biological son, and you are his mother, I still can’t believe you. I thank you for your hard work for the child of the Huo family in the past five years, but I don’t think that is enough for my grandson to marry you. I don’t want him to marry you, staying with you for a lifetime, due to the responsibility.” Although her voice was weak, her words were strong, which seemed to pierce Bai’s skin and bone little by little.

“Responsibility?” Bai Qingqing bit her lip, repeating this word in a low voice.

As if a thin needle had penetrated into her heart, the pain was unexpected.

“Of course it is responsibility. Do you think it is love? Miss Bai, you are not a teenager girl anymore. How can you be so naive. Yunchen was so deserted since childhood, but he has a strong sense of responsibility. Even if it is for Tiantian, he will also marry you. But Miss Bai, it does not mean love. Instead, it is sympathy and remedy. Yunchen is the heir to the Shen and the Huo, the property of two hundred billion. His life is bound to be high and glorious, and there will be no stains. Do you think a bad woman like you can match him?”

Heir to hundreds of billion? Bad woman, sympathy, remedy…

Bai Qingyun was about to be stunned by these icy words. Her brain seemed to be extremely hypoxic, making her unable to think at all.

“Miss Bai, as long as you are willing to leave them, my grandson and Tiantian, I can give you money that will never be used up in your life.”

The old lady’s dry hand trembled. She handed out a card, and then threw it in front of her.

“Hold it, don’t be too greedy.”

Bai Qingqing looked at the card thrown at his feet and smiled coldly.

She went down to pick up the card and took a closer look at it.

Then, she gently held the old lady’s hand and sent the card back into her hand.

“Old lady, I can leave your grandson, but I will not sell my son.”

After she finished speaking, she stood up to endure the pain in her chest and left stubbornly.

“Bai Qingqing, you can’t be with my grandson. I won’t agree until I die.”

The old lady’s voice fluttered behind her like a ghost, and it fell into her ears little by little, one by one. The words haunted her heart.

On the way back to her villa, she met Huo Yunchen holding Tiantian’s hand, looking for her.

“Honey, what’s wrong with you? Our son said you were unhappy, let me comfort you.”

Standing on the side, Tiantian held her hand and shouted, “Mommy, Mommy, don’t be upset. Daddy told me that his favorite is Mommy, and he loves Tiantian the second.”

Bai Qingqing smiled slightly and touched Tiantian’s head. Then she looked at Huo lightly but with query. “Huo Yunchen, since it is you, why did you escape?”

“I didn’t escape. It was just that I was hit by a car. If it were not Liu Kai who saved me, I had been dead in the hospital a long time ago. After waking up, I found my brain had been accidentally hurt and happened to lose all my memories of that night.”

Huo Yunchen replied easily. His tone was calm, making her unable to feel his emotion.

“Huh, what a coincidence.” Bai Qingqing smiled coldly, questioning and disdainful.
