Chapter 424 - The Crime Of A Bastard

Before Old Mr. Rong could even react, he heard the sounds of vomiting in the bathroom. A smile formed on his face and he asked with trembling fingers, “Butler Zhang, do you think... could it be... ”

Butler Zhang was experienced too. Upon sight of Mo Xiyan, he nodded and said, “It’s very likely that she’s pregnant. Back then, it was the same when my wife was pregnant with my daughter. She vomited so much that she looked incredibly haggard... ”

“Hurry, hurry and see if she’s alright.” Old Mr. Rong immediately pointed at a few servants before adding, “Wait a minute, get the car ready. We’ll go to the hospital for a checkup!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yes, Old Master.”

Old Mr. Rong stood up and paced around while staring at the washroom anxiously.

Not long after, two women walked out while supporting the pale Mo Xiyan. Old Mr. Rong immediately asked, “Lass Mo, are you... already pregnant?”

Mo Xiyan bit her lip and nodded shyly.

After receiving the confirmation, Old Mr. Rong burst into laughter and said, “Hahahaha, I knew that the Rong Family would never cease to exist! I knew it... ”

“Grandpa!” Mo Xiyan yelled and looked around.

Seeing how careful she was, Old Mr. Rong asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Grandpa, it’s not the time yet.”

“Why!?! Are you ashamed of being pregnant with the heir of the Rong Family? Can’t you see the light? Why are you hiding it!?!” Old Mr. Rong barked angrily.

Afraid that he would really get angry, Mo Xiyan hurriedly explained, “Grandpa, you also know that Luo Anning has already seduced Yan and she doesn’t want to see me, even Auntie. If they find out that I’m pregnant now, they’ll definitely think of a way to get rid of the child! I can’t take the risk, Grandpa. This is my child with Yan. It’s alright if something happens to me, but if the Rong Family loses a great-grandchild because of this, it’ll be my fault... ”

After a moment of silence, Old Mr. Rong nodded and exclaimed, “You’re right, Butler Zhang!”

“Old Master, what can I do for you?” Butler Zhang asked politely.

With his hands behind his back, Old Mr. Rong’s cloudy eyes glistened and he said solemnly, “Get everyone to swear that they will keep this a secret. Otherwise, you’ll have to bear the consequences! Once news of Lass Mo’s pregnancy leaks, Rong Yan will definitely punish her severely! Also, from now on, send someone to protect Lass Mo 24/7. Make sure that my great-grandchild is safe and sound!”

“I know what to do, Old Master!” Butler Zhang hurriedly retreated and immediately made the arrangements.

Mo Xiyan looked at Old Mr. Rong gratefully and said, “Grandpa, thank you! I’ll thank you on behalf of the child too!”

Old Mr. Rong waved and said, “That’s what I should do. As long as the child can come out safely, I can fulfill any request of yours.”

Mo Xiyan was overjoyed. “Grandpa, I don’t want anything. I have no regrets in my life if I can give birth to this child of Yan’s. However... ”

Old Mr. Rong raised his brows and asked, “But what?”

Mo Xiyan said sadly, “It doesn’t matter how aggrieved I feel. I’m afraid I’ll make the child suffer. Once the child is born, he’ll definitely be accused of being an illegitimate child.”
