Chapter 717: I’ll Grant You Your Wish
Hidden Marriage
Hu Hongda glanced at Fang Yaâs belly and he paused.
Madam Elder Hu went up to her and held Fang Ya hands in disbelief. "What?! Sheâ¦sheâs your mistress?"
Hu Hongda looked crushed and he slowly nodded sadly.
Madam Elder Hu stared at Fang Yaâs swollen belly before she touched it. "A pointy stomachâ¦it must be a boy!"
Fang Ya beamed proudly. "Hi Aunty, Iâve been going to a private hospital for checkups and the doctor said itâs a boy! Hereâs the report, look!"
"Itâs a boy! Good!" Madam Elder Hu looked at the report, her face instantly perking up. "How far along are you now?"
"About four months," Hu Hongda replied.
"What do you mean âaboutâ? It is! You donât even remember what you did?"
â¦
Ming Fangfang, who had been sidelined, looked at the three of them silently, not knowing how to react.
Madam Elder Hu finally remembered Ming Fangfang was still there, so she went up to her and gently said, "Fangfang, don't you worry. Youâre my only daughter-in-law. I would never acknowledge this woman!"
Fang Ya almost wanted to kick up a fuss then and there, but she stopped herself. Madam Elder Hu looked really overjoyed about her baby. She did not believe for a second that they would just abandon her.
Madam Elder Hu continued, "But, her baby is Hongdaâs child after all. Not having an heir is one of the worst things that could happen to a family. Youâve unable to bear a child for so many years. Iâm really troubled as well since I wouldnât know how to explain this to our ancestors after I die!
"I've got a possible solution. This child will be born! Afterwards, youâll take care of him! We could just give this woman some money as her reward for helping our Hu familyâ¦"
Ming Fangfang stood there silently while holding her luggageâ¦
She was going to take care of the mistress's child?
The mistress was helping the Hu family?
Fang Ya was thinking about the reward she might receive. Was it monetary? It would be best if she could enter the Hu family, but since the Hus needed the Mings, it was impossible for them to get a divorce now. Nevertheless, it would be great if she could get a hefty sum of money!
However, the Hu family was on the brink of bankruptcy now. Were they able to afford the payout?
Everything would be alrightâ¦Ming Fangfang was rich! She was doing her a favor by giving birth to a child! Plus, since Ming Fangfang was unable to bear a child, everything belonging to the Hus would eventually become her sonâs!
Ming Fangfang looked at Hu Hongda rationally and asked, "Hongda, what do you think?"
Seeing how calm she was, Hu Hongda felt that she was ready to accept this solution. "Iâ¦I agree with Motherâs suggestion. Weren't you looking for a surrogate mother? Now, the problemâs solved! I donât want you to go through the pain of giving birth, my dear!"
Fang Ya piped up, "Although I will really miss my son and Hongda, I wonât trouble Hongda. I will leave after I give birth."
Ming Fangfang nodded. "Good."
Hu Hongda, Madam Elder Hu and Fang Ya were relieved to hear her approval. "Fangfang, so youâre agreeing to this arrangement?"
The next moment, a white car stopped right in front of the Hu residence. A chauffeur opened the door and took Ming Fangfangâs luggage while greeting her jovially, "Miss!"
Ming Fangfang handed her luggage over and got into the car without even looking back.
Hu Hongda was dumbfounded. "Dearâ¦what are you doing?"
Ming Fangfang glanced at him and Fang Ya serenely. "Both of you donât have to be so considerate of me. Iâll grant you your wish. Chauffeur Zhang, letâs go."
"Yes, Miss!"
