“That’s right.”

Lin Che really did not expect even the park surrounding the Gu family’s ancestral tomb to be so big.

But after thinking about it, there was no doubt that such a wealthy family could have a huge and majestic ancestral tomb.

Lin Che said, “Your family is too wealthy. Is the cemetery up there very luxuriously-decorated?”

“Luxurious? Do you think it’s a hotel?”

“Uh, alright then.”

Gu Jingze pulled her along with him to take a look. “Look. That’s the cemetery up there. After you enter, there will be a large path lined with trees on both sides. It leads to an inner chamber, in which all the burial rooms are sealed off. Guards are stationed outside. Behind that are the grass lawns and the park that form part of the cemetery. There’s a small lagoon on that side. It isn’t big. From what I know, it was constructed on the instruction of a Fung Shui specialist in the 1930s. It has stayed the same until today.”

“…” Lin Che was struck dumb. She looked at Gu Jingze. “It’s totally a royal tomb…”

Gu Jingze glared at her.

Gu Jingze and Lin Che sat together and talked to each other. Someone came from the side to bring them some snacks. Lin Che’s head was no longer hurting. She looked around curiously as she sipped her tea.

Just then, she thought that she was mistaken when she looked up only to see…

Outside, Mo Huiling was presently walking towards them.

—

Mo Huiling had found out that the members of the Gu family would be here today.

From afar, she saw the Gu family’s cars lined up into the distance. When she took a closer look, the Gu family’s bodyguards were clearing the place as expected. Seated inside were precisely the relatives of the Gu family.

She scoffed internally and could not help but relish in the fact that she had ultimately caught them.

She just knew it. Even if the Gu family did not welcome her, they could not possibly stay at home all the time.

Since they had to go out, she would definitely see them.

She could also see Gu Jingze from afar. With one look, she saw Gu Jingze’s tall figure. Then, she saw Lin Che beside him. The two of them were seated together and talking cheerfully.

That was her man, but now he had actually been bewitched by this slut, Lin Che…

How was Lin Che worthy of Gu Jingze?

Over there, Mu Wanqing was shocked when she saw Mo Huiling suddenly walking over.

She immediately glanced at Gu Jingze before glaring at Mo Huiling. Then, she said to the guards immediately, “Go and find out what’s happening.”

When the bodyguards started walking towards her, Mo Huiling said bluntly, “Stay away from me. I’m pregnant with the grandchild of the Gu family right now. You will definitely regret it if you dare to touch me.”

The bodyguards were very surprised and quickly turned to look at Gu Jingze.

As Lin Che stood there, Gu Jingze massaged her hands and said immediately, “Don’t worry.”

Lin Che nodded and gazed at Gu Jingze. As she was standing by his side, she did not feel too worried. She just did not want Mo Huiling to ruin the Gu family’s gathering.

Mo Huiling said immediately, “Auntie, Auntie. I’m pregnant with Gu Jingze’s child. You can’t lay a finger on me!”

Mu Wanqing looked at Gu Jingze in surprise. After hearing Mo Huiling’s words, she asked in confusion, “What exactly is going on?”

Gu Jingze looked at Mu Wanqing and said coolly, “I’ll explain this to you later.”

“Then, she…”

Gu Jingze walked a few steps forward. “Mo Huiling, what are you doing here?”

Mo Huiling scoffed while looking at Gu Jingze. “You don’t want to acknowledge my child and even the Gu family is reluctant to acknowledge their grandchild?”

Gu Jingze sneered. “You’re free to think however you want. But I’ve already told you that the child isn’t mine.”

Just then, Mu Wanqing asked in surprise from behind them, “Tell me what exactly is happening.”

When Mo Huiling saw Mu Wanqing, she immediately burst into tears and wailed, “Auntie, I’m pregnant with Jingze’s child. This child also carries the blood of the Gu family, but because he doesn’t want me now, he doesn’t want the child either. He doesn’t want his own son, but do you not want your own grandson too?”

Mu Wanqing’s heart quaked.

Gu Jingze said, “Mother, listen to me.”

Gu Jingze pulled Mu Wanqing aside and briefly explained the situation to her.

Only then did Mu Wanqing catch on. She raised her head to look at Gu Jingze. “Are you sure that the child isn’t yours?”

“Yes, I’m sure.”

Mu Wanqing’s expression hardened. She walked a few steps forward while looking at Mo Huiling who was still crying. “Miss Mo, I didn’t expect you to be such a person. How could you have thought of using such a method to get pregnant with Jingze’s child?”

Mo Huiling responded angrily, “What do you mean, ‘such a method’? If not for the Gu family’s obstruction at the start, Jingze and I would not have turned out like this today. Auntie, the entire Gu family is here today. I’m pregnant with his child, the eldest grandson of the Gu family. Is your family going to reject this child?”

If the child really was the eldest grandson of the Gu family, then Mu Wanqing would indeed be slightly reluctant for it to be aborted. But if Mo Huiling was giving birth to this child, she would rather have the child be aborted.

Mu Wanqing said, “Putting aside the fact that this child doesn’t carry the blood of the Gu family, we don’t want it even if it does since you became pregnant with it using such a method.”

Mu Wanqing did not expect Mu Wanqing to actually say this.

“You… You don’t want it? Ha, did you tell the Old Master about this? Doesn’t the Old Master want his own grandson?”

Mu Wanqing said, “We don’t have to disturb the Old Master for something like this. Besides, Jingze already said that this child of yours isn’t his.”

Mo Huiling scoffed, “How can he be sure that it isn’t his? He is completely under Lin Che’s spell right now so of course, he hopes that the child isn’t his. But it is indeed his child. If you listen to him, you will only lose your grandson. Just think about how long Lin Che has been together with Gu Jingze, and yet there’s no sign of a child. Maybe there’s just something wrong with her and she can’t get pregnant. If you reject this child now, don’t regret it if Gu Jingze has no children in the future.”

Mu Wanqing was anxious to have a grandchild. But she only wanted Lin Che to quickly give birth to her grandson, not this woman before her whom she absolutely loathed.

Alas, the relatives of the Gu family behind her did not think the same way.

Carrying on the bloodline was so important for a prominent family. Besides, they felt nothing towards Lin Che. In particular, Gu Jingze’s eldest aunt Gu Lanshan simply walked up to them and said, “Sister-In-Law, I think that what Miss Mo is saying makes sense too. Jingze, how can you be sure that the child in her womb isn’t yours? Since all of us are here now, we should all go in and discuss the matter.”

Glancing at the people who were watching them from afar in curiosity, Mu Wanqing said, “Alright, let’s talk about this again after going in.”

Seeing that the entire Gu family had gathered together with stern expressions on their faces, the people in the distance could not help but speculate about what scandal had broken out again in a prominent family like theirs.

Mu Wanqing did not want anyone to get wind of all this groundless gossip. If word got out, she did not know how the rumors would develop.

Mu Wanqing glared at Mo Huiling and said to the bodyguards, “Take Miss Mo away to rest up first.”

Mo Huiling immediately raised her chin haughtily in Lin Che’s direction.

Mu Wanqing pulled Lin Che to her and said, “Little Che, don’t worry. All of us are on your side. She won’t be able to establish herself in the Gu family.”

Lin Che said, “Don’t worry, Mother. I’m not worried. You can be at ease.”

Mu Wanqing said, “Hmph. I didn’t expect her to be such a scheming woman. I already hated her from the start. Even if the child in her womb is Jingze’s, I won’t acknowledge this grandson. I’ll make her abort it sooner or later. Furthermore, it may not even be Jingze’s child.”

She looked at Lin Che. “Don’t be angry with Jingze.”

Lin Che said, “Although this happened because he stored his sperm away, this incident isn’t his fault. Of course, I can distinguish right from wrong.”

“But if she really is pregnant with Jingze’s child, you will still be at a disadvantage. Ah, Little Che. How can we bear to put you through such pain?”
