"Mm, I know. It's just that I'm feeling down and wanted to vent a bit," Chen Xier said, her heart heavy with grief. This matter had tormented her for many days; she did not feel much about Tang Shuwens verbal attacks on her, but seeing how he treated Xiao Nian made her very uncomfortable.

Perhaps because he grew up worry-free and born into privilege, used to having his way, other emotions seemed insignificant in his eyes. He simply did not care.

But she was only reliant on her son, seeing him upset would naturally affect her mood.

"Actually, Xier姐, I've known Shuwens brother for quite some time now. For us, he's a reasonable and polite older brother who is not bad at all. He has someone he deeply loves himself; the misunderstanding from years ago was due to no one telling him the truth. Suddenly having a son appear, especially one born of a woman he once hated, would certainly make him react negatively. I can't say anything else, but Shuwens brother must be a responsible man and someone who values his family. Perhaps in time, his attitude toward Xiao Nian will improve," Nuwan said, hugging Chen Xier. "You've endured so much hardship already; things are bound to get better for you. Be brave."

Chen Xier held Nuwans hand tightly and nodded with tears in her eyes, hoping she was right.

"Why didn't you bring the little one along I'd like to meet him; from his photos, he looks adorable," Nuwan switched to a happier topic.

Mentioning her son brightened Chen Xiers gaze as she smiled slightly. "His grandparents are taking care of him and spoiling him rotten; they dote on Xiao Nian more than Man Dong does. I barely get any time with him."

"As the first grandson in the Tang family, his uncles and aunts couldn't be happier,"

Warm really guessed right, when Tang Si and Wen Lan confirmed that they were their grandchildren, they immediately went to show off to Warm and Ye Saosan. After all, having such adorable grandchildren was quite enviable.

Chen Xier smiled lightly; she actually liked the people from the Tang family, excluding Tang Shuwen.

While they were talking about Xiao Nian, a figure suddenly walked over. Warm's eyes immediately picked up on the person, and Chen Xier raised her head, her face turning cold instantly— it was Gu Rui.

"Chen Xier, is he really not my son" Gu Rui's expression wasn't good; in fact, it was rather gloomy as if he were here to demand answers. Warm frowned, originally thinking highly of this man but now seeing him with a different light.

"Didn’t you already know that" Chen Xier said coolly. She had once loved him so deeply, without any regrets or complaints, but after such a painful betrayal and the ups and downs in recent years, she truly no longer felt anything for Gu Rui.

His appearance could no longer stir up any ripples within her heart.

In her youth, she was naive, pouring out all of herself to him without expecting anything in return. Back then, Chen Xier had thought that her love for Gu Rui would continue even after her death.

But now looking back, she realized how foolish and blind she had been in her younger days.

"You’re truly despicable; you were with me while still involved with Tang Shuwen. Chen Xier, I didn't see it before, but you're actually such a flirt." Gu Rui coldly mocked Chen Xier.

The Gu family is a large clan with many members. He isn’t the eldest grandchild, and his grandfather’s favorite isn’t from his branch of the family either. However, if Chen Xieru's child turns out to be his, then his son will become the first great-grandson in the Gu family.

The old man adores children, so having such a child might make him more fond of this side of the family. That’s why Gu Rui is extremely determined about this child. Moreover, from the photos, the kid looks very intelligent, which he likes a lot.

Chen Xieru was with him before, so naturally, he knows her personality well—she's stubborn and rather conservative. Based on the timeline, they should have conceived while still together.

He’s certain that this child is his, only to find out later that it’s actually Tang Shuwen’s; Gu Rui is furious beyond control.

Of course, he was the one who abandoned Chen Xieru. He doesn’t feel anything about it because when she was with him, she was young and beautiful, with a gentle disposition—heaven knows which man wouldn’t like her.

Later on, as time passed, he found her boring, and then met Han Bi—the epitome of charm—who naturally made him think Chen Xieru wasn’t even worth a strand of hair from the other woman. To get Han Bi, he was willing to do anything without hesitation, almost ruining Chen Xieru in the process.

When Gu Rui first met Chen Xieru, there was some genuine feeling involved, but it didn’t last long.

In his heart, he still believes this woman belongs to him. He always feels superior, so it came as a shock that Chen Xieru’s child is actually Tang Shuwen's.

This is akin to a slap in the face for him.

"I didn't see through you before, but it's clear now that you're a disgusting man," Chen Xueru coldly retorted. She was surprised by her lack of hurt over his words.

She only felt ironic.

It seems when someone doesn’t care about another person anymore, no matter how hurtful the words are, they can be ignored.

Gu Rui gave a cold laugh and looked at Warming. With an expressionless face, Gu Rui said, "Chen Xueru, while you were with me, you were also pursuing Tang Shuwen behind my back. At that time, I felt rather sorry for you, but now it seems there was no reason to feel so. Do you know what you are You’re a woman who destroys others' relationships, a sly fox spirit. Yunnan and Tang Shuwen were made for each other; their families are of the same social standing, and they’ve loved each other for years. Yet you forcefully inserted yourself between them to ruin their feelings and even caused Yunnan to commit suicide. Do you know how cruel your actions are to others You’re taking advantage of your son’s power to possess a man who doesn’t belong to you."

Yun Nian committed suicide

Chen Xueru's expression changed slightly upon hearing this; she felt regret for what she did to Tang Shuwen and Yun Nian, but when Gu Rui criticized her, she didn't feel any remorse.

No one else has the right to blame her except Gu Rui.

"Gu Rui, do you know who you are to call Sister Xueru out like this At most, you were just a man loved by an immature and naive Sister Xueru. You mean nothing more than any random guy on the street now to her; you both have no connection left. So what gives you the right to meddle in her affairs" Warming asked coldly. Gu Rui was truly detestable.

Gu Rui said coldly, "Don’t tell me you didn't know Yunnan is my cousin"ed. Mafia godfatherIndeed, he was the mafia godfather, yet when this term came from young Mumu’s mouth, it carried an ominous undertone. He recalled that no one had ever mentioned being a mafia godfat...
