Seeing Zhou Guangsheng’s surprise, the old lady chuckled, gave him a pat, and said mysteriously, "Look at you, son, you’re just not paying attention. Xiao Jing is carrying your child." Zhou Guangsheng thought about the time before his divorce from Bai Jing and shook his head, "Impossible." "How could it be impossible?" The old lady frowned unhappily as she looked at him. Zhou Guangsheng said, "We’ve been divorced for a while." They had been divorced for almost five months now, and he had never heard anything about Bai Jing being pregnant. Unexpectedly, the old lady was not surprised. "I know, she had told me. She didn’t realize she was pregnant at the time of your divorce. She discovered it afterward. She said she called you, wanting to reconcile, but you completely ignored her." Indeed, that did happen. Since their divorce, Bai Jing had indeed called Zhou Guangsheng several times, hinting at a wish to remarry. But Bai Jing had betrayed Zhou Guangsheng in a big scandal, and he had gone to great lengths to divorce her. Why would he consider reconciliation? Therefore, he firmly refused. The first time, Zhou Guangsheng and Bai Jing exchanged a few words. The next couple of times, as soon as he heard Bai Jing’s voice, he hung up right away. After that, Bai Jing never called him again at the military base. Zhou Guangsheng thought she had moved on but didn’t expect that she had actually gone to look for the old lady instead. She even had the old lady make all this effort to come to the city. Now she was deceiving the old lady by saying she was pregnant, coaxing the old lady into confronting Fang Xiu. That was really too much. Zhou Guangsheng was furious, eager to find Bai Jing and have a serious talk with her. He then said to the old lady, "Mother, you’ve traveled a long way. Rest for a bit. I need to go out and take care of something, and I’ll come back to see you later." The sharp old lady immediately saw through Zhou Guangsheng’s intentions and she quickly grabbed him, "Are you going to settle scores with Xiao Jing, aren’t you?" "Yes." Zhou Guangsheng didn’t deny it. This matter needed to be dealt with properly. "You come back here." After pulling him back, the old lady glared at him and said, "What do you blame Xiao Jing for? She had no other choice but to call me here." She paused, then scolded Zhou Guangsheng with displeasure, "You were living a good life, there’s even a child involved now, and because of some vixen, you wanted to divorce her. How dare you blame her?" "Mother, you’ve been deceived by her." Zhou Guangsheng initially didn’t want to bring up the past between him and Bai Jing, feeling ashamed, but now he had no choice but to speak out. "Firstly, when I divorced her, I didn’t even know Fang Xiu. It was after the divorce that I got together with her. Secondly, for a long time before we divorced, our feelings had already been shattered. We hadn’t been together for ages. Her pregnancy is none of my business. Think about it, if she really was pregnant, the military wouldn’t have allowed us to divorce, right?" "The reason I divorced her is that Bai Jing was unfaithful to me. She was with another man, that is why I divorced her." Who would have thought, the old lady wasn’t at all surprised, on the contrary, she came up with her own interpretation, "Xiao Jing has explained all this to me, she said that man was not some other man, he was a relative of hers, and it was Fang Xiu’s sister who wronged her. And about the child, she said that one night when you were together, you were drunk, and you slept together; you probably don’t even remember." Newest update provided by novel[f]ire.net Zhou Guangsheng could not believe that Bai Jing had even thought of such a story. No wonder she hoodwinked the old lady so thoroughly, making the old lady believe she was pregnant to come between him and Fang Xiu’s marriage. Zhou Guangsheng was trembling with anger, not knowing what to say, "Mom, Bai Jing, she..." After a while, Zhou Guangsheng managed to speak, "She’s just no good, able to tell such a lie. When we were arguing over the divorce, we hardly stayed together in the same room at all. At that time, she frequently stayed at her parents’ place and only occasionally came back to stay in the military compound." "Maybe it was during one of those occasional returns that you were together," the old lady, hoping to have a grandson, naturally subconscious sided with Bai Jing, "Who knows what really happened, there’s no evidence anyway." Upon hearing this, Zhou Guangsheng felt helpless and shouted at the old lady, "Mom, who do you trust, outsiders, or your own son?" The old lady’s eyes reddened from Zhou Guangsheng’s shouting. After wiping her tears for a while, she sighed and then said to Zhou Guangsheng, "Guangsheng, you know you are not getting any younger. It’s been almost four years since you married Xiao Jing. Do you realize how anxious your dad and I have been these years, waiting to hold our grandson?" "Mom, I’m not that old. There’s no hurry to hold a grandchild," Zhou Guangsheng knew that the old lady couldn’t really be blamed for this—it was really all because Bai Jing was too despicable. He felt like he might have been too harsh on the old lady, he sighed, then walked over to her side, whispering to comfort her, "Once I marry Fang Xiu, you will immediately have a chubby grandchild to hold. The child is so chubby, I’m sure you will like him when you see him." As soon as the old lady who was wiping her tears heard Zhou Guangsheng’s words, she immediately got angry and glared at him, "Are you talking about the son Fang Xiu brings with her? I don’t want someone else’s child." Zhou Guangsheng smiled and hugged the old lady’s shoulders, trying to persuade her, "Mom, once I marry Xiu’er, her son will become my son; then isn’t my son your grandson?" The old lady could not figure out Zhou Guangsheng’s thoughts, she grabbed his hand irritably and scolded, "Tell me, have you gotten brain-damaged from staying outside? You have your own son, why would you want someone else’s?" "Mom, you don’t know about Bai Jing..." Speaking of Bai Jing, Zhou Guangsheng shook his head, not wanting to elaborate. "Son, your mom may be old and uneducated, but I’m not blind. How could I not know Xiao Jing’s character?" the old lady said, letting out a sigh. She used to come to the military compound occasionally and spent some time with Bai Jing; how could she not understand Bai Jing’s disposition? In the past, Bai Jing did not even care about Zhou Guangsheng, let alone the old lady. When the old lady was visiting the military compound, she had to serve Bai Jing like a maid every day; on the days when Bai Jing was in a good mood, she would occasionally smile at the old lady, but when she was not, she would pick at the old lady for being unhygienic and not cooking well. When Bai Jing criticized the old lady, Zhou Guangsheng would naturally fight with Bai Jing. After many disputes, the old lady worried about trouble between the couple and soon returned home. Naturally, the old lady did not like Bai Jing as a daughter-in-law in the past, but she knew in her heart that their family background did not match Bai Jing’s family. With two younger siblings relying on their work in town, she simply had to endure the suffering.
