Yang Yun and Gu Lin emerged from the elevator and their expressions were both equally dark. Yang Yunâs face was completely flushed.
Gu Lin supported her aunt and asked in concern, âAunty, are you alright?â She noticed that her aunt looked like she was in a bad shape and naturally, she didnât fare much better either.
Yang Yun waved her concern off.
She was fine, but she was so angry earlier that her chest hurt. However, this was the woman who her son wanted to marry, so it wouldnât be becoming to get into an argument with her, especially since there was a young child present.
Yang Yun frowned in irritation and her mood became even worse at the thought of the child.
âAunty, I think this woman who Shaoqian has fallen for is really unacceptable. She doesnât have a good family background and her looks are average but we can choose to ignore those factors. However, how are we supposed to accept her as part of the family if she already has such a big child with another man?â Gu Lin said frankly. The Gu family had always been conscious of their reputation and nothing was more important than their family name to their grandfather. She guessed that her grandfather would be hopping mad once he found out what kind of woman his grandson wanted to marry.
Yang Yun gripped her fingers tightly and her nails dug into her palms. She sighed as she walked and seemed both agitated and resigned. She didnât like Chen Yan either, but what could she do about it?
âForget it, letâs not mention her,â she said. She couldnât stop thinking about the child she had just met as well as He Ziyanâs words which made her even more upset.
âAunty, you should speak to Shaoqian,â Gu Lin said as she patted her auntâs back. She felt sorry for her cousin.
Yang Yun replied, âI canât get through to him. Your cousin has already insisted that he wouldnât be marrying anyone else but Chen Yan. He doesnât even care about his past relationship with Ziya that had lasted for so many years, so tell me, how should I get through to him?â
Yang Yun seemed upset and resigned. She was very unhappy with her sonâs choice of her bride. She wouldnât have minded if her sonâs bride was a virtuous maiden but this was a woman who had a child out of wedlock which showed how loose her morals were and how promiscuous she was.
Gu Lin couldnât help but sigh.
âSighâ¦Shaoqian is just too nice,â she said. Any other man would have chosen to break up with Chen Yan.
âExactly!â Yang Yun said with a deep frown. âShaoqian has such a strong sense of responsibility that he wouldnât break up with her on his own accord. It doesnât matter to him whether or not she is a promiscuous woman.â
Gu Lin asked, âWhat shall we do?â
âI donât know either,â Yang Yun said.
âLetâs do this,â Yang Yun said as she suddenly turned to her niece and lowered her voice as she said, âAsk Shaopeng to do a background check on Chen Yan. Search up her past and find out who the father of her child is. Also ask him to run checks to find out more about her moral character.â
Yang Yun no longer trusted the image of Chen Yan that had been presented to her. She had assumed that Chen Yan was an honest and loyal woman but it didnât seem to be the case after what she witnessed today. She couldnât believe that Chen Yan had been concealing the fact that she had a child with another man. She guessed that Chen Yan wouldnât have come clean to either her or Shaoqianâs father if she hadnât chanced upon the child today.
Gu Lin nodded.
âSure, aunty. Iâll call my brother now and inform him to run the checks,â she said.
Then, she dug out her phone.
ââ
He Xiyan was also holding her phone inside the house. She dialed Jiahangâs number and told him that his mother and cousin had come to visit and asked him to come back a little earlier. She also told him what had happened earlier.
Then, she went into the kitchen and started to prepare for dinner.
She was so upset that she wasnât concentrating while slicing the food and ended up slicing her own finger while she was slicing the meat.
