Previously, Fang Xiu did feel somewhat wronged. If it had been according to her old temper, she would have already clashed with the old lady. Because she cared too much about Zhou Guangsheng, she cared about what his family thought of her, so she didn’t say much before, just waiting for Zhou Guangsheng to come and handle it. Now that she heard it was a misunderstanding, the grievances in her heart immediately dissipated, and she smiled at Zhou Guangsheng, "Forget it, didn’t you also say that she was deceived, it doesn’t matter." Fang Pingying was at the cash register settling accounts, having heard Fang Xiu talking to Zhou Guangsheng, she had not interrupted. She could indeed tell that Zhou Guangsheng cared for Fang Xiu and had not stood on his mother’s side before, handling the matter fairly properly. Upon hearing that the old lady had been deceived, she roughly knew who it might be, but still asked, "Guangsheng, what exactly happened to your mother? Who deceived her, why did she start hitting someone right away?" "It’s..." Zhou Guangsheng paused halfway through his sentence, looking at Fang Xiu worried whether she would mind if he mentioned Bai Jing. Fang Pingying knew this topic was unavoidable, so she directly asked, "Was it Bai Jing who called the old lady?" "Exactly." Zhou Guangsheng saw that Fang Pingying had guessed it, and simply laid out the whole story, "Moreover, Bai Jing lied to my mother, saying that she was pregnant with my child and I was forcing a divorce to be with Fang Xiu. My mother believed it was true, so she started hitting Xiu’er." Pregnant with his child? This statement truly startled the three women in the shop. Fang Xiu and Fang Pingying also remembered that the last time they saw Bai Jing, she indeed was pregnant. Considering the gestational age, it seemed to correlate with the time shortly after Zhou Guangsheng’s divorce, so claiming the child was Zhou Guangsheng’s wouldn’t be strange. Fang Xiu started to get anxious, she looked at Zhou Guangsheng and withdrew her hand from his, no longer speaking. Zhou Guangsheng became anxious, wanting to explain. But he was stopped by Fang Pingying, "Guangsheng, since your mother was deceived, our family Xiu’er won’t hold this against her today, after all, ignorance isn’t a crime. But you must handle the matter with Bai Jing properly, and about the child, are you sure it’s not yours?" As an older sister, it was necessary for Fang Pingying to stand up for her sister. Upon hearing this, while Zhou Guangsheng responded to Fang Pingying, his eyes anxiously gazed at Fang Xiu as if explaining, "Sister, I’m sure, that child definitely has nothing to do with me." "Really?" Fang Xiu was somewhat skeptical, she also mentioned to Fang Pingying, "Sister, do you remember, actually, the last time we saw Bai Jing, she was indeed pregnant, and didn’t we all say it back then?" Hearing this, Zhou Guangsheng himself was also a bit confused. He originally thought Bai Jing might be fooling the old lady, pretending she was pregnant and so on. But hearing what Fang Xiu said, it looked like Bai Jing truly was pregnant. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn N()velFire.net Whose child could it be then? Fang Pingying nodded at Fang Xiu, "I remember, but none of us guessed that the child would be Guangsheng’s." Zhou Guangsheng immediately shook his head to counter, "Sister, it’s not mine, the child definitely isn’t mine." "Sister, you mentioned that day she had something to tell you, could it be that she planned to talk about this child’s matter?" Fang Xiu glanced at Zhou Guangsheng and murmured softly, "Had I known, we should have asked that day. If we knew the child was really his, we wouldn’t have discussed getting married, after all, if they had a child, for the child’s sake, they should be together." Upon hearing Fang Xiu seem to be considering backing out, Zhou Guangsheng became extremely anxious; he stepped forward and grabbed Fang Xiu, "Xiu’er, the matter isn’t clear yet, we can’t just fall into disarray." Fang Xiu pulled her hand back again and then stood behind Fang Pingying, ignoring Zhou Guangsheng. Fang Pingying looked at them both and then said to Fang Xiu, "Right, don’t rush to get angry, let’s clarify the situation first, maybe Bai Jing is doing this on purpose." "On purpose?" Zhou Guangsheng and Fang Xiu both didn’t understand her meaning. "I think it’s not necessarily because she truly cares for Guangsheng’s well-being; it might just be because she can’t stand to see Guangsheng doing better than her, so seeing you two happy, she wants to come and destroy it," Fang Pingying reasoned, "According to Bai Jing’s character, she might just do such a thing." Both Fang Xiu and Zhou Guangsheng knew this made sense, but after thinking for a while, Fang Xiu spoke again melancholically, "But in any case, the child in Bai Jing’s stomach is real, and when we calculate the months, they really did conceive while they were together." Seeing Fang Xiu now starting to be affected by this matter, Zhou Guangsheng angrily turned around and left, also saying, "I’m going now to find Bai Jing, I’ll ask her what she really wants." He moved so swiftly that Fang Xiu couldn’t catch up. Fang Xiu anxiously asked Fang Pingying, "Sister, what should we do?" Fang Pingying looked in the direction Zhou Guangsheng left, urging Fang Xiu, "Let him go. This matter has to be clarified anyway; otherwise, if Bai Jing insists the child is Guangsheng’s, the old lady will surely stop you two from marrying." Fang Xiu nodded but then immediately expressed her concern, "But Bai Jing is sneaky, I’m worried something will happen if Guangsheng goes alone." Speaking of Bai Jing, Fang Pingying was indeed a bit worried too; she thought about finding someone to accompany Zhou Guangsheng, and after thinking, only Luo Zhiyong seemed appropriate. Fang Pingying looked at her watch, seeing it was about time to get off work, she tried calling Luo Zhiyong’s office. The call connected quickly, and Luo Zhiyong himself answered. It had been a long while since Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong had seen each other. Hearing that familiar voice on the phone, Fang Pingying was momentarily stunned, until Luo Zhiyong asked again who it was on the line, and she quickly responded, "It’s me." As soon as Luo Zhiyong recognized Fang Pingying’s voice, he was initially very happy, but then he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked with a bit of urgency in his voice, "Pingying, did something happen at home?" Fang Pingying immediately replied, "It’s nothing, don’t worry." Hearing this, Luo Zhiyong breathed a sigh of relief on the other end. He had thought that if there were no issues, Fang Pingying might never take the initiative to contact him again in her life. And him, having agreed that they should part ways, naturally did not want to disturb her openly, even though he actually returned every weekend, standing in a hidden spot watching her sometimes take the children out for a walk. Seeing them happy and stable, his longing would diminish a lot. Luo Zhiyong on the phone end was very happy that Fang Pingying had called him; it seemed like there were many things he wanted to tell Fang Pingying, but when it came time to say them, he didn’t know where to start. Both stayed silent on the phone for a while, and feeling that it couldn’t go on , Luo Zhiyong spoke up, "How have you been recently? How are the two kids?"
