“How did the child come about?!” The man was stupefied by then.

“You don’t have to care how I came to have your kid! All you need to know is that this child is indubitably yours! You have undeniable blood ties with the baby that I’m carrying now!”

“You’re crazy!” The man was so harassed that he simply shook her off. He was about to walk away when the woman behind him laid down her cards.

“Mu Yancheng, I urge you to be calm and rational! I need you now, and similarly, you need me, too! Don’t pin your hopes on Lin Xueya; she’s too conceited for you! You’ll never be good enough for her! Aren’t you eyeing the chief’s seat in your family? When you marry me, I’ll help you achieve your desire with our influence. All you need to do... is to marry me!”

He stopped in his tracks. He was quiet for a while before striding away without looking back.

The woman tried to look as dignified as she could until he was out of sight, then her body slumped against the wall as her arms hung helplessly on her sides.

My god! When have I become so shameless?

Forget it!

Since I’ve already taken a step forward, there’s no turning back at this point!

I’ll do whatever it takes to achieve my goal!

...

When she returned to the banquet hall, the man was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Jingtian saw her returning and hurried to her. “Enya, what happened between you two? I saw Mu Yancheng stomping off moments ago; he seemed to be very upset!” She was worried about her friend.

“Nothing much. I just made my stand clear to him.” The missy then spun around elegantly and spoke to the other woman smilingly. “If I really do become the grand mistress of the Mu family, will you be happy for me?”

“O-Of course!” replied the other woman with a start. “Still, have you really gotten over Brother Mu, or are you thinking of him even now?”

She answered sans an expression, “I’ll have to let go of whatever I shouldn’t keep by my side; I’m no longer the Song Enya you used to know. My former self is dead. Now, I know very well what I want!”

The other lady was taken aback by her confession.

This woman has indeed changed...

...

Mu Yancheng went straight to the Mu residence and found Mu Linfeng in his study room.

The young man walked in, locked the door, and concisely narrated his encounter with the Songs to his uncle.

“Uncle, what should I do now?”

The older man looked dumbfounded for a while before confirming this. “Are you serious?”

“She was so upfront with me that even I was quite confused!”

“I can’t believe that lass would do such a thing.”

Mu Linfeng did not doubt his nephew’s words in the least. He did not think the latter would want to rock his boat by laying his hands on that missy.

The young chap reiterated, “Uncle, you have to believe me; I would never touch her!”

“I understand.”

“What should I do now?” He was at a loss. “Don’t tell me I have to marry her for real? Why should I?”

“From the way you described it, that lass shouldn’t be lying about the origin of the child. It’s not difficult to verify the identity of the child these days with the advanced technology, so judging from her confident words, that baby must truly be yours!”

“I’ve never touched her in the first place—never in the past and definitely not in the present! I don’t know how that baby came about!”

“Some time ago, our family’s sperm bank reported some issues. I’m suspecting that she perhaps stole your sperms from there for in-vitro fertilization!”
