Xi Xiaye put on a cold smile. “I don’t think I have an obligation to answer your question. Qi Lei isn’t a fool. Do you think he’s incapable of having his own ideas?”
“So, are you saying that you didn’t do anything? I dare you to swear on your child’s life!” Gu Lingsha smiled coldly as she threw Xi Xiaye a fierce stare.
Xi Xiaye frowned and her face darkened instantly. She then replied in a dangerous tone, “You’re really wicked to involve my children into our matters.”
Gu Lingsha continued her indifferent smile. “What’s wrong? Scared? Why don’t you swear if you didn’t do it? Do you dare to swear?”
“I’m not obligated to promise you anything, Gu Lingsha. You don’t seem like a fool. Do you really think that just by swearing, you can prove whether I did it or not? You’re a mother yourself. If someone asked you to swear on your child’s life, would you do it?”
Xi Xiaye found out from Mu Yuchen that Gu Lingsha had a daughter with Qi Feng, but she was not sure about the details herself.
Gu Lingsha’s body started trembling slightly when Xi Xiaye mentioned her child. Xi Xiaye could sense the vicious vibes vibrating outward from her!
Her child?
It was all because of Mu Yuchen that Weiwei was the way she was! She would have used his son to exchange for her child’s health if she could!
How could they understand what Weiwei had gone through? What did they know about the suffering she experienced?
“You guys have no right to say those words. I’ll trade everything I have for my child’s safety.” Gu Lingsha’s eyes teared up slightly as she spoke. She covered her nose and looked at Xi Xiaye. “My daughter is lovely, but I didn’t protect her well enough when I was pregnant. The fetus was damaged during the accident. That’s why she was very frail since birth and gets sick often. She still hasn’t recovered until now...Moreover, Weiwei should have had an elder sister or brother.
“I was heavily injured in the accident as well, but there was no way to save them both. When the doctor told me I could only save one of my children, you have no idea about the kind of pain I went through then! Maybe you don’t know this, but Lingtian begged him to let us go. If he had just let us be, none of that would’ve happened and everyone could’ve lived happily ever after. Tragically, he didn’t give us a choice. Would you have hated him if you had been in my shoes?”
Gu Lingsha’s tone was icy cold, and Xi Xiaye could sense the hatred from her, but what surprised her the most was her brutal words! From what she said, her daughter was spared from the accident. She had been pregnant with a pair of twins, but only her daughter remained, was that it?
If that was the case, then...
She remembered Mu Yuchen’s concern!
Could Weiwei be...?
She did not dare to think about it, but the possibility already traumatized her.
“But I remember he told me that he gave you a choice, but you rejected it! You wanted to marry into the Mu family. Aside from the data about the New Era Plaza, you were plotting something else too, weren’t you? Most importantly, you were pregnant with another man’s children and you wanted to marry him! Gu Lingsha, if I were him, I’d probably have the intent to kill you!”
“I didn’t even know I was pregnant. I only found out some time before our wedding, and I told him that I wanted to cancel our marriage when I knew about it!” Gu Lingsha defended herself before Xi Xiaye finished her sentence.
“However, you didn’t say anything, did you? You only ran away because Ah Mo found out you were meddling with his safe! What did you take him as? You betrayed him shamelessly.” Xi Xiaye stared at her straight in the eye.
“Don’t accuse me! Xi Xiaye, don’t forget that he was once my fiancè! Don’t act all high and mighty, telling me off! Those two children should’ve been his. If it weren’t for...” Gu Lingsha stopped halfway.
Xi Xiaye squinted her eyes. “If it weren’t for what?”
Gu Lingsha did not answer. She looked at Xi Xiaye and asked a question instead, “Didn’t Mu Yuchen tell you everything?”
“How would I know the difference between what he told me and what you’re saying?” Xi Xiaye glanced at her casually, seeming rather confident.
Gu Lingsha smiled. “It seems like you don’t fully trust him either, do you? Or else, why would you want to find out from me?” Catching onto a groove suddenly, she stared into Xi Xiaye’s eyes.
“Ms. Gu, you can choose not to tell me, but you’ve overestimated yourself. Do you really think I’m stupid? I’d believe him instead of you. I’ve never forgotten that you really dislike me.” Xi Xiaye walked past her and continued, “Besides, I’m going to be clear with you. Qi Lei is a good friend of Mr. Mu and me, and he is very smart. He knows what’s right and wrong, so it’s his choice to make any decision. Is pushing the responsibilities onto others your special skill? Do you dare say that you genuinely wish for his well being?”
Xi Xiaye pointed at her temple before turning over and glanced at Gu Lingsha.
“Moreover, you blame all your misfortunes on Mr. Mu, but you forget that you’re the evil woman that started it all. I don’t know how others think about it, but if I were him, I wouldn’t have let you guys go. A human is only a human because we have self-awareness and insights. Otherwise, how are we any different from animals?”
