Chapter 38

Wei Jingshan was stunned. Su Ning’s parents? She had heard a little about Wutong City. It was said that Su Ning had caused her stepmother, Mu Yu, to have a miscarriage. Her biological father, Gu Bensheng, had attacked Su Ning in a fit of anger. The Su family was furious and directly caused the Gu family to go bankrupt. Wei Jingshan lowered her eyes. Her Qingqing was so pitiful and aggrieved. On what basis could Su Ning obtain happiness? She should let others see what kind of bad child Su Ning was! A child who knew that her maternal grandparents were rich and abandoned her father and grandparents. A child who despised the poor and loved the rich was not worthy of being treated like this by the Su family!

“Let them in,” said Wei Jingshan.

The guard was stunned for a moment. “Second Madam… Shouldn’t we report this matter to the Old Master?”

Wei Jingshan frowned. “What? My words don’t work anymore?” In the past few years, Wei Jingshan had often stayed in the Su family’s manor. The rest of the Su family rarely came back. To a certain extent, Wei Jingshan was one of the masters of this manor.

Gu Bensheng and Mu Yu stepped into the Su family’s manor as they wished. The Su family’s manor was magnificent and majestic. Just the lawn in front of the door was so big that one could not see the end. When Gu Bensheng and Mu Yu were in Wutong City, they prided themselves on being members of the upper-class society. However, now that they were standing in the Su family’s manor, they felt like bumpkins who had never seen the world. The two of them tugged at their clothes uncomfortably.

Mu Yu said gently, “Hubby, Ningning’s grandpa’s house is so imposing. Hubby, you’re Ningning’s biological father. No matter what, Ningning won’t leave you alone. If the Su family can help you, we don’t have to hide. We might even be able to live here with Ningning.”

Gu Bensheng’s heart burned when he heard that.

Mu Yu continued, “If the Su family doesn’t want to help and is unreasonable, we’ll snatch Ningning’s custody. They’re only Ningning’s grandparents, but we’re her parents…”

Gu Bensheng nodded repeatedly. That’s right. He had to hold on to the fact that he was Ningning’s biological father today! As long as the Su family said a word, all his problems would be solved. He might even make a comeback and use Ningning’s custody to exchange for his future. It could be considered Ningning’s repayment to him as a father.

After the farce just now, Su Ning changed her clothes and came down, preparing to cut the cake again. Whether it was sincere or not, everyone around her smiled and wished Su Ning a happy birthday. This was the first time so many people were celebrating her birthday. Su Ning was very happy and forgot about the unhappiness just now.

Old Madam Su said kindly, “Ningning, come and make a wish.”

Su Ning clasped her hands and closed her eyes. She made a pious wish. I hope that Mommy lives happily in heaven. I hope that Mommy can occasionally visit Ningning. I hope that Grandma’s health would get better and better, I hope that Eldest Uncle’s business prospers and he would be healthy, and Second Uncle, and Third Uncle… Ningning made a wish for everyone important in her heart, but she forgot herself. She opened her eyes happily.

Su Dingpei picked her up and smiled. “Ningning, blow out the candles.”

Su Ning took a deep breath and puffed out her cheeks. Then, she blew out a breath. Unfortunately, she was too strong and weak and only blew out one candle. Everyone laughed loudly at her. A few uncles leaned over and blew out the remaining three candles with her.

Just as everyone was about to clap, a very abrupt voice sounded. “Ningning…” Mu Yu and Gu Bensheng had just squeezed in when they saw this happy scene. They could not help but feel indignant. They were in such a sorry state, but Ningning was living so happily. However, although they were jealous, they did not forget their previous plan. Mu Yu’s voice was soft and weak, and her eyes were red. “Ningning, happy birthday. Mommy is late.”

Gu Bensheng also said, “Daddy and Mommy brought you a gift.”

The moment Su Ning saw the two of them, the smile on her face disappeared, and her lips pursed involuntarily. She turned her head and did not look at the two of them at all.

Old Master Su’s expression was ugly as he said angrily, “Who let you in? Get out!”

Unexpectedly, Gu Bensheng and Mu Yu knelt down with a thud. Gu Bensheng looked regretful. “Father-in-law, I was wrong. I admit that I cared too little about Ningning. It was my fault last time. The child in Mu Yu’s stomach was already six months old. I didn’t expect her to suddenly miscarry. In my anger, I couldn’t control my emotions and hit Ningning a little too hard…”
