Ye Xingbei was now Gu Junzhu’s wife. In other words, she was now her husband’s young aunt!
If she let the Gu family know that the child was from Ye Xingbei and another man’s seed, would Gu Junzhu still want her?
If she ruined Ye Xingbei’s favorable state of affairs because of that child, Ye Xingbei would definitely sue her.
She had stolen Ye Xingbei’s ovum and another man’s sperm for artificial insemination to become a surrogate mother. If she was sued all the way to the courts, she would have to go to jail!
How could she go to jail?
Bai Mengluan became so frightened that her expression paled drastically as she spoke in a low voice, “You You, I bought the ovum from the country’s egg bank with my money. The identities of all the donors are kept strictly confidential. Even the staff from the egg bank has no idea who they are, so how could I know! You You, the past is past. I was young and ignorant back then; I did something wrong. I’ve turned over a new leaf now and only want to live a good life with Yuanfang. I don’t want to talk about past events anymore, so I beg of you, You You. Don’t come disturb me anymore.”
“What about the sperm?” Jiang Siyou asked hurriedly, “This is the last time, Cousin. Tell me, who is the owner of the sperm? Do you know now?”
“I know now,” Jiang Siyou’s question forced Bai Mengluan’s painful past to resurface. She bit her lips in hatred until they nearly bled, “The seed was also chosen from the sperm bank. Of course, the sperm donor’s profile is also kept confidential. No one will know his identity. You You, don’t ask me about this anymore in future! I don’t know anything!”
When she was done speaking, she hung up the call with a trembling hand—her back leaned against the wall and her expression looked like she was in great pain.
That year, she initially had a chance to get married to Gu Junzhu.
In the end, she discovered that she had primary ovarian failure—rendering her infertile for life.
She loved Gu Junzhu, but she also loved the status of the Gu family’s Young Madam. Left without a choice, she thought of looking for someone to help her undergo surrogate pregnancy. She planned on giving birth to Gu Junzhu’s child first, then she would use that child to marry Gu Junzhu.
Ye Xingbei was pretty and clever so after all her choosing, she picked Ye Xingbei.
She offered to buy the ovum from Ye Xingbei but she was rejected.
When she considered other candidates again, no one else was as exceptional as Ye Xingbei, so she couldn’t make up her mind.
Hence she stole Ye Xingbei’s ovum in a risky move borne from desperation.
Afterwards, she asked someone for a favor to steal Gu Junzhu’s seeds and carried a child in surrogacy.
Once the child was born, she became wild with joy but did not dare to tell Gu Junzhu. Instead, she carried the baby right to Old Master Gu.
After studying her for a long time, Old Master Gu made someone bring the child away to conduct a paternity test.
The paternity test results stated that the child did not have a father-son relationship with Gu Junzhu.
Upon receiving the results, she collapsed on the spot.
Later on, she found out that the doctor—whom she had bribed to steal Gu Junzhu’s seeds—was afraid that after the matter was exposed, Gu Junzhu would not let him off for it. So he bought a random seed from the sperm bank and tricked her.
She wasted many hours and money in her scheme, but in the end, her hopes and efforts bore no fruit.
Fortunately, Gu Yuanfang had always been infatuated with her. Even after knowing that she had done such a thing, he didn’t turn his back on her. Instead, he continued loving her.
In the past, she looked down on Gu Yuanfang for being an illegitimate child without the right of inheritance.
But after such an event, she was discouraged and knew that it was no longer possible to get married to Gu Junzhu. Taking advantage of the situation then, she agreed to Gu Yuanfang’s proposal and decided to marry him.
That child was pushed to Ye Xingbei by her and Jiang Siyou.
Jiang Siyou had wanted to harm Ye Xingbei.
While she knew that the child was Ye Xingbei’s biological son.
She was left with one last benevolent intention—hoping that the mother and son could reunite.
But no matter what, she didn’t dare to say anything now!
If she said it, Ye Xingbei definitely wouldn’t let her off!
Around the staircase, Gu Yuanfang was hiding in a corner that Bai Mengluan could not see. He was watching her with an icy look.
This woman would probably never even dream of it but that child from back then was indeed Gu Junzhu’s.
