The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex - Chapter 288

Chapter 288: I Won’t Hand over the Child (2)

Yang Mingyu felt even more conflicted when he saw that she didn’t respond.

“Xiyan, talk to me. What are you really thinking?” He didn’t understand why she was so obstinate about this matter as though there was no room for discussion at all.

He Xiyan lowered her eyelids. There were far too many emotions swirling in her eyes.

“What do you want me to say?” She looked at Yang Mingyu sadly. “I won’t hand the child over to them. Why should I give them the rights to raise the child?”

“Ah…” Yang Mingyu’s eyes widened in surprise.

“I know what you’re about to say,” He Xiyan said in a low voice. “Mingyu, you promised that you won’t reveal my secret. Furthermore, you’re well aware of how much I’ve suffered at the hands of the Mo family. During that period, both Li Qin and Mo Yixuan both treated me like an infertile woman. I was treated with contempt and even when I was sick, I always went to see the doctor alone. I already told them the day I left the Mo mansion that I had been cured but they didn’t believe me. All they cared about were Xia Yuwei and the child she was carrying,” she said, then closed her eyes tightly.

Two crystal clear teardrops fell from her eyes and she couldn’t help but let out a soft sob. When she opened her eyes again, they were filled with tears.

“Ma ma…” Yuan Yuan immediately wormed out of Yang Mingyu’s embrace when he saw that his mother was crying and crawled along the sofa to his mother. He settled into her embrace and rubbed his small face against her.

He Xiyan pulled out a tissue and wiped the tears off her eyes.

Yang Mingyu looked down and he felt extremely bad. He could see the pain in her eyes and it upset him as well. However, whatever the Mo family did had backfired. Xia Yuwei’s child…

Yang Mingyu’s brows suddenly knitted together and he sighed sadly.

“Xiyan, I’m not sure if you’ve heard about this,” he said as he pursed his lips to squeeze out a bitter smile.

He Xiyan’s brows raised as she looked at him.

“Mo Yixuan isn’t the biological father of Xia Yuwei’s child but rather, his biological father is her senior from school. This was what caused his mother’s heart attack and Mo Yixuan to fall into extreme depression. He’s been smoking and drinking and was even hospitalized because of a gastric problem,” Yang Mingyu said softly, his gaze never leaving his face.

Then, he watched as astonishment filled her face.

He Xiyan suddenly shuddered, then her entire body froze. Her tear-filled eyes widened as she looked at him in disbelief.

Yang Mingyu’s smile was full of resignation.

“It’s shocking, right? But this is the truth and they’ve already proven it with a DNA test.”

He Xiyan’s mouth opened and she felt as though thousands of lice were scratching at her heart.

She turned away to look outside the window. A range of complex emotions suddenly welled up within her.

Xia Yuwei’s child wasn’t even Mo Yixuan’s. God, she would’ve never imagined this could be true.

She could imagine how upset and angry Li Qin was when she found out the truth, this must be what caused her heart attack. Li Qin had longed to carry a grandson for so many years and had spent so many years scolding her but ultimately, the grandson she longed for wasn’t even her biological grandson.

As for Mo Yixuan, he gave up on the relationship that spanned a couple of years all for a child that wasn’t even his.
