Chapter 114 It Was Song Shuang's Child

Gu Baisheng and a nurse took turns caring for Xiao Rong.

To avoid some gossips, Gu Baisheng would go back home every night.

She went home together with Song Shuang after he got off work.

One day, they just arrived home.

Then, Gu Baisheng saw a middle-aged woman with a familiar figure at the door. She thought for a while. Finally, she recognized that it was Xia Juan.

Xia Juan hadn't seen her daughter for several days, so she came to hold Gu Baisheng's hand immediately and said, "You haven't come home to see me for such a long time."

Xia Juan held her hand and made her look at Song Shuang awkwardly.

Song Shuang indifferently looked at Xia Juan's hand, which was intertwined with Gu Baisheng's.

Xia Juan knew she had a rich son-in-law.

So she greeted Song Shuang ardently, "Shuang, did you go out with my daughter?"

"I've just got off work," Song Shuang answered.

Song Shuang opened the door and asked his mother-in-law politely, "Please come in and take a rest."

Xia Juan followed him into the house naturally.

After entering the house, she looked around.

Then, she whispered beside Gu Baisheng, "This house is well-decorated."

Gu Baisheng nodded, "Yes."

"Do you have any guest room?" Xia Juan asked.

Gu Baisheng had a premonition as she heard Xia Juan's question.

However, she could do nothing but answer, "There are two spare rooms."

"Alright," Xia Juan looked at the spare rooms and then at her daughter, "Can I stay here tonight?"

Gu Baisheng couldn't decide what to do, "Did anything happen at home?"

"Nothing." Xia Juan said. Meanwhile, she observed the decoration and furnishings of the living room. As Song Shuang put a glass of water before her, Xia Juan took it naturally and said, "Shuang."

Song Shuang raised his eyes, "What's the matter, mom?"

Xia Juan was extremely happy when she heard Song Shuang calling her mom.

She said smilingly, "The power and water supply in my house will be cut off, so I wonder if I can stay here tonight."

Hearing this, Song Shuang looked at Gu Baisheng thoughtfully.

Gu Baisheng moved her lips.

But she couldn't say anything.

She thought that Song Shuang would agree.

She guessed it right.

Song Shuang nodded, "No problem. You can live in the spare room."

"I'll bother you and Shengsheng," Xia Juan said.

Then, she went to see the spare room happily.

She didn't even drink the water Song Shuang gave her.

Seeing that Xia Juan went to see the spare room, Gu Baisheng stood up and asked Song Shuang in a whisper, "Why did you agree?"

"She's your mom," Song Shuang reminded her.

Gu Baisheng certainly knew that Xia Juan was the mother of the body she was using.

However, she thought it was strange that her mom, who had never stayed overnight at their home, suddenly wanted to crash.

She couldn't tell why it was strange.

"Show your mom around the room," Song Shuang said.

He asked her to accompany Xia Juan to the spare room.

Gu Baisheng nodded and left.

Song Shuang was respectful to his mother-in-law.

He was polite to both Hu Hui and Xia Juan as a son-in-law.

Gu Baisheng went to the spare room with Xia Juan.

As soon as Xia Juan entered the room, she looked at the furnishings.

She touched every piece of furniture here.

Meanwhile, she sighed with feeling, "The greatest thing I've done in my life is giving birth to you, and the best thing you've done is marrying such a good husband as Song Shuang."

Gu Baisheng didn't quite agree with her mom.

But she could say nothing.

It was true that the best thing in some women's life was choosing their husbands and giving birth to a child.

They were like the concubines of an ancient emperor.

They would be more respected by their husbands' rich families if they gave birth to an endearing child.

In their life, they would be the best among their friends and peers if they married a rich husband.

Gu Baisheng and Bai Shengsheng married Song Shuang.

Thus, in other people's eyes, they were both winners in life.

However, that was not true.

She thought women should let nature take its course when it came to marriage and delivery.

There was no need to marry a member of a powerful and rich family.

One could marry a man as they loved each other, and then they would have a child.

It would be great if they could live a peaceful and loving life.

Xia Juan hadn't enjoyed anything since her marriage to Bai Dahai.

Now her daughter had married into a powerful and rich family, she certainly hoped that her daughter could be treated well in the Song Family.

However, she inadvertently heard the gossip saying that the Song Family didn't like Gu Baisheng.

After looking around the room with Gu Baisheng, Xia Juan grabbed her hand and sat on the bed. Then, Xia Juan asked earnestly, "You and Shuang are doing well recently, right?"

Gu Baisheng thought about what happened to them recently, and nodded, "Yes."

That was true.

Song Shuang treated her well.

And she treated him well, too.

At least Song Shuang was living the normal life of a married man.

However, she suffered to some extent.

"If the answer is yes, don't you think you should consider the future?"

Xia Juan asked with a smile.

Gu Baisheng moved her lips and pretended that she didn't understand, "What kind of future?"

“Dumb girl. You have married into the Song Family, the richest family in Beicheng. Won't you plan for your life?"

Xia Juan began to feel nervous for her.

Gu Baisheng smiled, "What are you imagining, mom?"

"I'm not imagining. I'm just thinking about your future life. You have married Song Shuang for a long time, but why didn't you get pregnant yet?" said Xia Juan.

She indeed came here to urge Gu Baisheng to bear a child.

Gu Baisheng was a little tired, "Just let it be."

Perhaps the Song Family wouldn't be happy even if she wanted to bear a child.

She could leave aside Song Shuang's attitude first.

But her mother-in-law, Lin Fengya, and father-in-law, Song Zhaoyang, certainly wouldn't want to see her giving birth to a child.

"What are you talking about?" Xia Juan didn't listen to her daughter and said, "You have to hurry. There will be less trouble if you can bear a child as soon as possible."

"Mom, have you heard any gossip?"

Gu Baisheng was sure that Xia Juan must have heard some groundless rumors.

As expected, Xia Juan shook her head as she heard Gu Baisheng, "You should learn from Song Shuang's ex-wife, my girl."

Gu Baisheng was stunned when Xia Juan suddenly mentioned Gu Baisheng, "Why should I learn from her?"

What could she learn from Gu Baisheng's life? Why should she learn from Gu Baisheng?

Xia Juan smiled and said staring at her daughter, "The Song Family will like you as long as you have a child."

Hearing this, Gu Baisheng forced a rueful smile.

She didn't know if she should say that Xia Juan was short-sighted.

It was true that Gu Baisheng was accepted by the Song Family.

However, what she relied on was not the child.

She was accepted because Song Shuang insisted.

"I'm not thinking about this, mom. Let's talk about it later," Gu Baisheng said.

She didn't want to go further into this topic, so she stood up and was about to leave.

Seeing that Gu Baisheng didn't want to listen to her, Xia Juan grasped Gu Baisheng's wrist with anxiety and said, "What's the matter? Don't you agree with me?"

Gu Baisheng nodded and turned around, "I don't agree, indeed."

"Why?" Xia Juan asked.

She felt that her daughter totally changed after waking.

Her daughter used to be dedicated to following her instructions.

However, her daughter was always suspecting her suggestion now.

"Mom, Song Shuang's ex-wife wasn't accepted by the Song Family's because she bore a child," Gu Baisheng said.

"How can you trust what other people say, my girl?" Xia Juan said.

She thought that her daughter was a little naive.

However, as the person involved, Gu Baisheng thought that she knew the fact clearly.

Therefore, she wanted to tell her mom that a child couldn't change the Song Family's attitude towards her.

She said, "Gu Baisheng's child was not Song Shuang's."

"It was Song Shuang's child," Xia Juan insisted.

Gu Baisheng couldn't help smiling, "That child wasn't Song Shuang's. Otherwise, how could he not know about it?"

She knew it was Cheng Bi's child.

It was she who bore the child.

She gave birth to the child after ten month's pregnancy.

No one knew better than her when it came to that child's identity.

If the child hadn't been Cheng Bi's, there wouldn't have been so many things afterward.

She wouldn't have married Song Shuang, and they wouldn't have turned against each other.

"How can you believe those rumors, my kid?" Xia Juan said.

"Mom, what you believe are rumors," Gu Baisheng didn't want to listen to her mom's nonsense, so she said drily, "Good night."

Xia Juan shook her head and sighed, "Shengsheng, how could his parents accept the child as their grandson if that child wasn't Song Shuang's?"

"Stop blabbering, mom," Gu Baisheng said.

She didn't want to hear Xia Juan distorting what she had experienced herself based on those groundless rumors.

Song Shuang was drinking water in the living room.

He saw Gu Baisheng coming out from the spare room, looking frustrated. He asked, "What's wrong? Did you quarrel with your mom?"

"No," she said.

She was unwilling to talk more about it.

Gu Baisheng went straight to another spare room.

Then, she found that the room was empty of quilts and pillows.

She moved her lips and went to the master bedroom resignedly.

She was tricked by Song Shuang that night. After that, she had to do what she promised and move her personal belongings to the master bedroom to sleep with him.

Song Shuang saw her going into the bathroom with a change of clothes and asked, "Did your mom urge you to bear a child?"

Gu Baisheng was a little surprised. She turned around to look at him and said, "How do you know?"

Song Shuang smiled and looked very handsome, "I think your mom's suggestion is just in time. You should consider giving birth to a child."

Gu Baisheng saw a glimmer of a smile in Song Shuang's eyes.

She felt that her ears were burning.

However, the sorrow of losing her child gushed from her heart immediately.

Her eyes which twinkled for an instant became dull again at once. She said, "I'm busy now. I don't want to get pregnant."

She was reluctant to bear Song Shuang's child.

She also didn't want to be accepted by the Song Family because she gave birth to a child.

Nevertheless, it was crazy that Song Shuang wanted her to be pregnant.

Did he fall in love with Bai Shengsheng?
