The son whom she had fostered for five years was Gu Junzhu’s?
Ye Xingbei couldn’t tell how she felt when she looked at Gu Junzhu.
But Gu Junzhu raised both his hands and looked at her guilelessly, “Wife, that’s not true! I can guarantee that I definitely have not had any child with other women. I definitely haven’t allowed other women to steal my seed either! Wife, I promise that I’ll only have children with you, I swear!”
Ye Xingbei was even more dazed and twisted her head to look towards Jiang Siyou.
Jiang Siyou choked as she sobbed, “Young Fifth Master Gu is right. That child is not his! Bai Mengluan also didn’t know what went wrong. After she had given birth to the child, she went to find Young Fifth Master Gu to make him take responsibility; she wanted to get married to Young Fifth Master Gu. In the end, when she brought the child to do a paternity test, she discovered that the child wasn’t Young Fifth Master Gu’s at all. She was terrified and panicked, so she came to discuss what to do with me. Afterwards… Afterwards…”
Ye Xingbei raised her brows and took the words out of her mouth, “Afterwards, you forced that child onto me?”
Jiang Siyou nodded with difficulty and covered her mouth as she wept, “Sorry, I’m really sorry, Bei Bei. I was still too young back then. I was only 16 years old; I didn’t know anything then. I know that I was wrong now, I really know that I was wrong now!”
Ye Xingbei laughed coldly, “You were only 16 years old that year? Was I 26 years old then?”
Back then, she was only a 16-year-old child too.
How could a 16-year-old child bring up a newborn infant? If she hadn’t met Eldest Brother and Second Brother, she and Xiao Shu would have been dead by now.
Thinking of the smart, cute and caring Xiao Shu, she became upset once more.
She took a deep breath before looking at Jiang Siyou coldly and said, “Call Bai Mengluan right now and ask her about the owner of the ovum that she acquired that year.”
Trembling with fear and trepidation, Jiang Siyou nodded as she took her cell phone out and dialed Bai Mengluan’s number. She put the latter on loud speaker. “C-cousin, about that child whom you carried to me back then, whose ovum did you acquire?”
When Bai Mengluan heard Jiang Siyou’s question on the other side of the phone, she was taken aback. Holding onto the cell phone, she walked to a secluded area and spoke with a lowered voice, “You You, haven’t we made it clear? That year’s matters have already passed and I’m already married to Yuanfang now. I don’t wish to mention the past again.”
Jiang Siyou glanced at Ye Xingbei fearfully.
Ye Xingbei’s icy gaze was as sharp as a sword. She shivered uncontrollably and stuttered into the phone, “Cousin, do y-you know? Bei Bei is back… S-she wants to know who’s the biological mother of that child that year… C-cousin, I beg of you, please tell me. Who exactly is the biological mother of that child back then?”
Bai Mengluan’s complexion became deathly pale in an instant and her hand gripping the cell phone shook faintly.
Tell her?
No.
That wasn’t possible!
What she had gotten hold of was Ye Xingbei’s ovum that year!
Ye Xingbei was her student.
Among all the students she had taught before, Ye Xingbei was the most beautiful and the most intelligent. Furthermore, not only was she a world-class beauty, but she was also a super-genius.
Bai Mengluan was suffering from primary ovarian failure, so she couldn’t bear her own children. She could only use another woman’s ovum to give birth to children.
Since she could not give birth—and could only use other women’s ovum—it was a matter of course for her to choose the ovum of the most brilliant, and most outstanding woman.
After very careful consideration, she chose Ye Xingbei.
In the Jiang family, Ye Xingbei was neither loved by her parents nor valued by anyone.
Despite being the Jiang family’s daughter, she had to work outside of school hours to make a living.
Ye Xingbei lacked money!
She was Xu Yanlai’s niece and Ye Xingbei’s older cousin. She was even Ye Xingbei’s teacher, so naturally… the conditions were perfect.
Hence, she asked Ye Xingbei out privately to get the latter to sell her ovum.
But Ye Xingbei refused.
She couldn’t accept that.
Ye Xingbei had a problem with hypoglycemia so she could become unconscious easily.
As Ye Xingbei’s cousin and teacher, it was her duty to take care of Ye Xingbei.
She contacted a reliable doctor ahead of time and took advantage of Ye Xingbei’s stupor to retrieve her ovum covertly. Bai Mengluan even saved on the money to pay for Ye Xingbei’s ovum.
But how would she dare to speak about such a thing with Ye Xingbei?
