Chapter 572 Nothing Happened (2)_1
Situ Xin announced the news, and it sent the entire Situ Family into a frenzy of excitement. Upon hearing the announcement from Situ Xin, Old Master Loo immediately had Old Madam Loo notify the youngsters in the house to come back for dinner if they were available.
Meanwhile, Old Master Shan, who left the Situ Family’s residence in low spirits, had a hard time. As they got into the car to return home, before Old Master Shan had the chance to reprimand Shan Qiuling, Shan Xue, who knew some insider information about Situ Xin, looked at her father with fear and trepidation and said, "Dad, what do we do now?"
"What do we do? If this attempt didn’t succeed, then so be it. It’s all because of this good-for-nothing, who can’t even handle an affair like this properly. I should never have listened to you and used this good-for-nothing to replace Shan Dongling. Now, great, we haven’t managed to trap Situ Che, but instead a scandal like this has erupted." Old Master Shan had just finished speaking when he remembered the bastard child in Shan Qiuling’s belly. He pointed at her and roared, "Tell me, whose bastard is in your belly, huh? At such a young age, you go messing around outside. You’re just like your mother." Old Master Shan, who was already dissatisfied with Ning Xiaoyu, Qiuling’s mother, was so furious that he cursed her as well.
Although Ning Xiaoyu was furious at what her father-in-law had said, she did not dare show any signs of dissent. She was also utterly disappointed in her daughter for causing such a scandal; if it were to be exposed, her already mediocre reputation... "Shan Qiuling, tell me, who is the father of the child in your belly?"
However, Ning Xiaoyu’s thoughts differed from those of her father-in-law. It was a pity they couldn’t trap Situ Che this time, but thinking of the few people Shan Qiuling usually hung out with, though their family backgrounds were not comparable to the Situ Family, they were much better off than the Shan Family. So, if her daughter was pregnant with a child from one of them, it might not be such a bad thing after all.
But this time, Ning Xiaoyu got it completely wrong. Shan Qiuling was quite playful; so was the crowd she mingled with—messy and disorderly. Moreover, the accidental pregnancy came from their group during a drunken spree in a hotel box. They overdrank—or rather, overplayed.
When they sobered up and came to their senses, the hotel box was already in complete disarray. Therefore, who the father of the child in Shan Qiuling’s belly was, she had no clue whatsoever.
So, when faced with her mother’s question, she lowered her head and gently shook it. She was filled with regret. She should have kept her pregnancy secret from her family and quietly had an abortion the moment she knew.
She should not have tried to pin the child in her belly on Situ Che. Now, she didn’t even know how to extricate herself from the situation.
"What? You don’t know who the father of the child in your belly is? You... You..." Ning Xiaoyu was so infuriated by Shan Qiuling’s response that she nearly ran out of breath. She pointed her finger at Qiuling’s forehead, about to start scolding, when suddenly...
