Qi Feng turned around in his wheelchair and went out.

“Where are you going?”

Gu Lingsha could not care less about the tears on her face. She suddenly propped herself up and saw him leaving.

“Sleep first. I’ve still got some documents to handle. Shasha, I hope that you can calm down too. Think about it. What we need right now is to be calm and have faith,” Qi Feng said, then his figure slowly vanished out of the doorway.

Gu Lingsha was stunned. After a while, she sobbed...

...

The afternoon sun was dazzling. The calm breeze rustled through the bamboo forest. When it brushed one’s face, it felt very refreshing.

When Mu Lingshi walked into Bamboo Teahouse, she could see Gu Qiwu sitting in a corner by the window from afar.

It seemed like he had been waiting for quite a while. He was steeping some tea, and there were delicious pastries on the table too.

“Have a seat.”

Gu Qiwu quickly noticed Mu Lingshi too. When he looked up at her, his usually stern face looked quite at ease.

Mu Lingshi stood there looking at him for quite a while. She could see an indescribable bleakness in his gaze. A faint smile flashed on her lips, then she sat down.

He knew that Mu Lingshi was pregnant and could not drink tea, so Gu Qiwu ordered some flower tea instead. He took a cup and poured her some tea. “Earlier when I sat down, I was guessing whether you would come or not.”

Mu Lingshi was not courteous as she picked the teacup up and took a nonchalant sip. She did not bother hiding the indifference and irony she felt. “I really didn’t want to, but I don’t want to be Mother Teresa either.”

Upon hearing that, Gu Qiwu looked up to watch Mu Lingshi silently. She still had her sunglasses on, so he could not see her gaze underneath them, but when he saw the scar faintly showing, his eyes darkened.

As if he was thinking about something, Gu Qiwu’s eyes were dazed for a moment, then he said softly, “I was betting on you to come. You’re stronger and tougher than your mother.”

“My mother’s Zhuang Shurong. To me, she’s a perfect woman.”

Mu Lingshi did not want to admit it, but she actually did not have much feelings for Mu Zi. After all, she ended her life soon after giving birth to her. From then on, the person who had raised her and taught her life, was Zhuang Shurong and the rest.

While Gu Qiwu lowered his gaze and looked at the teacup before him, the steam blurred his sight. He fell silent for a while, then smiled and said, “You shouldn’t be so against your mother. She loved you and your brother. I’m the one who let you down. It’s not like I never thought of bringing the both of you back to the Gu family.”

“Mr. Gu, you’re funny, I will always be part of the Mu family.”

“No, you know very well yourself that you, Lingtian, are indeed the child of Zixi and I. We’re your biological parents. Although this is hard to accept, it’s the truth. On Doris’s side, she’s long had our DNA report,” Gu Qiwu said. His dark eyes suddenly glowed with a cold light, then it turned into sorrow. Lastly, it became the calm after the bleakness.

Upon hearing that, Mu Lingshi suddenly grinned and said in disdain, “So? What are you planning on having me do? Do you want to get rid of us just like how Mu Zi sacrificed herself to let you all be happy? I’m telling you to dream on! I’m not Mu Zi. I wish that you and your wife will be done for. That way, I’ll feel freer from worry.”

“The thing between Doris and me, and also your mother, isn’t something that can be easily explained. Your mother’s a good woman, but...”

“But you don’t love her. The woman you love is Doris, so for Doris’s sake, you can let any woman down. It used to be Mu Zi, and now it’s me? Tell me what do you want? I already detest that your blood runs through me. If I could sever all ties with you, I would be happy to co-operate.”

Mu Lingshi was tired too. All the news about Mu Zi and Gu Qiwu was endless. Even she and the Mu family were implicated. Naturally, she did not want to see such chaos.

“Lingshi, you’re mistaken. I’m sure you know about Doris and me. We’re going to court soon. I’m asking you out because I hope you’d forgive me and come home to the Gu residence with me,” Gu Qiwu said in a low voice as his gaze was fixed on Mu Lingshi.

Nevertheless, when Mu Lingshi heard this, she laughed gently, then took a deep breath before she lowered her head and continued to have another sip of tea. She sneered, “Mr. Gu, I’m not interested in the Gu family at all.”

“Even if you’re not interested in the Gu family, aren’t you interested in the Hui Gu Corporation? If you aren’t, then what did you do all of that from before for? Don’t tell me that you don’t even know Mu Yuchen’s intentions yourself.” Gu Qiwu’s calm voice came through. In that smooth voice, you could not hear any emotions.

“Does that mean you’re blaming us for Doris cheating on you? Haha, Mr. Gu, I don’t know how much you love Doris that you could even accept this. Do you want to protect her so much? No wonder you don’t want to divorce her.”

The more Gu Qiwu showed that he cared about Doris, the more Mu Lingshi felt sad and pitiful for Mu Zi!

“If you can be so considerate and loyal, why don’t you think about Mu Zi who’s passed away? Do you know that hearing all these make me wish I could just kill you!” Mu Lingshi was white from anger while her hands were clenched into fists, and the resentment in her eyes could not be concealed.

“Lingshi, calm down. Let me finish.”

There were mixed emotions in Gu Qiwu’s eyes. He thought about it, then decided to explain to Mu LIngshi, “I couldn’t avoid going to court for the divorce with Doris because the things she wants to take away is enough to waver the Gu family’s family property. She and I only had your sister, Lingsha. Initially, I thought we’d still have your brother, Lingtian, but...”

“Do you want Doris to leave with nothing?” Mu Lingshi ridiculed.

“Yes, she betrayed me. I want her to know that she can’t just do whatever she wants.” When Gu Qiwu said this, a sinister chill flashed in his eyes.

Mu Lingshi seemed to be able to feel the love and hatred that Gu Qiwu felt towards Doris.

“In fact, I’ve been wanting to make it up to you.” Gu Qiwu paused, then poured Mu Lingshi more tea. “Apart from Lingsha, I have you too...”
