Chapter 1407. Reason To Be Strong 3
If it was not for the calm conversation with her brother, Mu Yuchen, before this, Mu Lingshi might not have been willing to sit down with Gu Qiwu like this now.
Gu Qiwu considered Mu Lingshi’s pregnancy and did not order coffee. He asked for a pot of grapefruit tea and some snacks instead.
“How was the result of the examination? Are you alright?” Gu Qiwu greeted though it was rare for him to show concern.
“It’s okay. Everything is fine,” Mu Lingshi responded weakly. Her tone was somewhat robotic as she looked down at the cup in front of her. She did not intend to waste any time and wanted to be straightforward, so she continued, ” Now that the cat’s out of the bag and everything has become clear now, do you have anything to say?”
Upon hearing this, Gu Qiwu paused and his pale face was a little stiff. He stayed silent for a long time before he mumbled, “What else can I say when all the truth is laid out right in front of me?”
Mu Lingshi sneered, “Yes, a heartless person like you wouldn’t be able to feel empathy. Nevertheless, you’re responsible for my mother and my brother’s death, even Grandmother’s misfortune. I cannot fathom how you can still sit here with peace of mind.”
“I should’ve resented Doris, but then I realized I couldn’t bring myself to begrudge her. My mother and I weren’t close, and neither was Lingtian…What made me sad were Big Brother and Grandmother… So, you’re the one I should hate the most.”
“I understand your hatred towards me, and I’m not going to ask for forgiveness. I made an agreement with Mu Yuchen which I think he should have told you about.”
“I won’t let my child grow up with the surname’Gu’. I wish that he’ll still have the surname’Mu’ when he grows up. In my eyes, this surname represents happiness and unity. On the other hand …you should know that going back to the Gu family with you is something I’m strongly opposed to, but if this allows me to take some weight off my elder brother’s shoulders and to protect the people that I care about, then I ‘m willing to accept it. Anyway, it’s still better than allowing Gu Lingsha or Qi Feng to benefit from this,” Mu Lingshi did not conceal her intentions at all.
