Chapter 543: Chapter 372: Revealing the Truth_1
The imposter was outraged when she heard that Tang Wan was going to give Gu Li ten percent of the shares, “I don’t even have shares in the Tang Group, why should she? No, we absolutely can’t allow this conniving brat to succeed!”
She stormed out of the bar without paying any heed to Qin Shurong.
Qin Shurong simply smirked in disdain at the imposter’s tirade.
What an idiot!
…
On returning home in a huff, the imposter found that Tang Wan had already retired to her room. With a grim face, she ran upstairs and knocked on the door.
At that moment, Tang Wan sat on the couch in her room, going through an album of Gu Li’s childhood photos, reminiscing her past picture by picture.
After sixteen years, it finally felt as if her heart came truly alive tonight.
The DNA test had confirmed that the imposter was her daughter, but she always felt something was missing. Now it all made sense, what was missing was the genuine bond of blood.
Oh Tang Tang, thankfully God watched over her and hadn’t let her lose her daughter entirely…
Tang Wan gently stroked the lovely young face of her daughter in the old photos, causing her eyes to well up.
“Knock knock knock——”
“Mommy, are you asleep?”
The imposter’s knocks interrupted her thoughts. Tang Wan took a moment to compose herself, quickly wiped the tears from her eyes, and put away the photo album before going to answer the door.
She opened the door to be met with the sight of the imposter’s face, bearing some resemblance to Gu Li’s.
Tang Wan._ feeling a flash of disgust, managed to maintain her composure and asked in a neutral tone, “What do you want?”
She wasn’t an actress. It was challenging to hide her resentment towards a charlatan who had stolen her daughter’s identity.
At that moment, the imposter was more concerned about the shares than Tang Wan’s indifference towards her. She asked, “Mommy, is it true you’re giving Gu Li 10% of the shares?”
Tang Wan frowned, “Who told you that?”
“Qin Shurong!”
The imposter didn’t hesitate to throw Qin Shurong under the bus.
Conveniently, Qin Shurong was eavesdropping from a corner. She wasn’t worried about being singled out.
She knew that Tang Wan wouldn’t believe such baseless claims coming from her, Qin Shurong. After all, she was seen as a well-mannered, understanding and kind-hearted girl in Tang Wan’s eyes.
She was right. Tang Wan didn’t buy the imposter’s words, and reprimanded impatiently, “Nonsense! How could Shu Rong tell you this?”
The imposter misconstrued her denial for acceptance and stomped her feet, “No! I will not allow you to give the shares to an outsider. Gu Li’s motives are not pure, Mommy, don’t be fooled by her.”
Seeing the imposter disrespect her precious Tang Tang, Tang Wan’s expression chilled even further, “I accepted her as my goddaughter, she is no outsider. Furthermore, it is my company, and the shares are mine to give. It’s none of your business.”
“Mommy——”
“Enough! Don’t let me hear any disparaging remarks about Gu Li again. Otherwise, people will say you are ill-mannered. It’s late, go to bed.”
Once Tang Wan had finished scolding her, she slammed the door shut.
The imposter was left at the door in tears.
Qin Shurong was secretly pleased to see the mother-daughter duo arguing. At the same time, she was still puzzled. Why did Tang Wan treat her biological daughter with such indifference after meeting Gu Li? Could it be that Gu Li was her real daughter?
No, it couldn’t be!
The DNA report couldn’t lie!
Gu Li had just happened to resemble Tang Wan, and that was why she had caught Tang Wan’s eye.
Yes, that must be it!
…
For Tang Wan, Gu Li chose to delay her return home and decided to stay in M Nation for a few more days.
Of course, Mo Shiting stayed with her and took the opportunity to deal with the affairs of the branch office.
Ye Yining returned to Hua Country the next day. On one hand, her new album was about to be released, and there was a ton of work to be done. On the other hand, she was also not interested in being the third wheel any longer.
As for Lu Cong and Murong Qian, they successfully registered their marriage in A Nation and became husband and wife.
The moment the two came out of the civil affairs office with their marriage certificate, Murong Qian spoke to him, serious, “Lu Cong, I have something important to tell you. But first, you must promise me not to get mad at me!”
Lu Cong’s heart clenched at her words, and the smile on his lips faded, “What is it? As long as you’re not saying that you have second thoughts and want a divorce, we can work it out.”
Murong Qian: “…”
Is she really the type to back out of commitments and take marriage lightly?
His assurance, however, filled her heart with a sweet sense of security.
So, she leaned in and kissed him, then started hesitantly, “So… about Xunxun, actually… actually…”
Oh, it was so hard to tell the truth after lying for so long!
“Hmm?”
Seeing her hesitant and appearing guilty, Lu Cong frowned. Suddenly, it dawned on him, and his heart sank, “Is Xunxun your son?”
“Yes.”
Murong Qian nodded heavily, apprehensive about his reaction. But to her surprise, he was simply shocked, as if dealt a massive blow.
He couldn’t possibly think that Xunxun was her child with another man, could he?
Murong Qian was almost speechless. “Hey! What kind of face is that? Xunxun is your biological son, where is your mind at?”
What?
His biological son?
He had a son that big?
Was he dreaming?
Lu Cong pinched his own face to see if he was awake, feeling the sharp sting, he came back to his senses. Overjoyed, he picked Murong Qian up and spun around a few times, making her dizzy, and then finally put her down.
“Qianqian, why didn’t you tell me sooner that Xunxun is our son? If you had told me earlier, I could’ve been enjoying the glory of being a father.”
The glory of being a father?
How dare he say that!
Murong Qian’s heart gradually settled down, “As long as you’re not angry.”
“I can’t be happier, how could I be angry at you?”
Lu Cong grasped her hand and looked at her with deep affection, “Qianqian, thank you! Thank you for not giving up on loving me, and also for giving me such a handsome and sensible son.”
Murong Qian felt a bit uncomfortable under his intense gaze and swiftly diverted the subject, “Alright, people are looking at us, let’s go. Let’s go to the Murong family home to pick up our son.”
With a marriage certificate in hand, she could finally fetch her son in the open.
…
They hurried to the Murong family home, only to run into Murong Si who was on his way out.
Seeing the two red booklets in Murong Qian’s hand, Murong Si’s eyes flickered, and he said with a sardonic smile, “Got married? Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
Lu Cong responded politely.
Although he didn’t like Murong Si, the man was his wife’s cousin after all; he had no intention of picking a fight with him.
