Chapter 908 Not worthy of you
Gu Yanze looked at the two people hugging each other, with a trace of pain in his eyes. He knew that he had completely lost Jiang Mubai.
"Mu Bai, I hope you can think about it carefully." Gu Yanze said, turned and left.
In the next few days, Jiang Mubai was in a trance. She couldn't accept the fact that she suddenly had another child, nor could she face Lu Jingchen.
Lu Jingchen saw what was on Jiang Mubai's mind. He did not force her, but just stayed by her side silently, giving her time to adapt.
One night, Jiang Mubai took the initiative to find Lu Jingchen.
"Jingchen, let's... break up." Jiang Mubai said with difficulty.
Lu Jingchen was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Mubai to say such a thing.
"Why?" Lu Jingchen asked in a painful tone.
"I... I'm not worthy of you." Jiang Mubai lowered his head, not daring to look into Lu Jingchen's eyes, "I have a child, I can't..."
"Silly boy, what are you talking about?" Lu Jingchen held Jiang Mubai's face and said gently, "I love you, whether you have children or not."
Jiang Mubai's tears flowed again. She hugged Lu Jingchen tightly and buried her head in his arms.
"But... the child needs a father..." Jiang Mubai's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
Lu Jingchen gently stroked Jiang Mubai's hair and said firmly, "I will be his father. I will take good care of you and your son."
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked into Lu Jingchen's eyes, his eyes full of emotion and love.
"Jingchen..."
Just then, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Lu Jingchen went to open the door and saw a strange woman standing outside, holding a little boy of about five or six years old in her hand.
The little boy looks a lot like Gu Yanze, and that woman...
"Hello, are you Mr. Lu Jingchen?" the woman asked politely, "I am Gu Yanze's lawyer, and this is his child, Gu Xiaoze."
Jiang Mubai looked at the mother and son at the door, and his face turned pale instantly.
She never thought that Gu Yanze would actually send the child over...
Jiang Mubai was stunned, her mind went blank. Gu Yanze's lawyer and the child were standing at the door, like a loud slap in her face. She subconsciously looked at Lu Jingchen, only to find that he was also shocked.
The atmosphere in the room was so tense that it was suffocating. Lu Jingchen took a deep breath and broke the silence: "Please come in."
The lawyer and the child walked into the house. The little boy timidly hid behind the lawyer and secretly looked at Jiang Mubai and Lu Jingchen. He had the same deep eyes as Gu Yanze, but at this moment he was full of anxiety.
"Mr. Gu means that he hopes Miss Jiang can take care of Xiaoze." The lawyer said formally, handing Jiang Mubai a document, "This is the relevant legal document, you can take a look."
Jiang Mubai mechanically took the document, but her hands couldn't stop shaking. She had never expected that Gu Yanze would do this. Send the child away and let her raise him? What on earth was he thinking?
Lu Jingchen held Jiang Mubai's cold hand, gave her a soothing look, and then said to the lawyer: "We will seriously consider it. It's too late today. Let the child rest first."
The lawyer nodded and looked at the little boy: "Xiao Ze, you can stay here tonight, okay?"
The little boy still hid behind the lawyer timidly and didn't say anything. Jiang Mubai's heart suddenly tugged, and an inexplicable sadness surged in her heart. She squatted down and showed a gentle smile to the little boy: "Hello, Xiaoze, my name is Jiang Mubai, you can call me Aunt Mubai."
The little boy still didn't say anything. He just glanced at Jiang Mubai secretly, then quickly lowered his head.
Seeing this, the lawyer said to Jiang Mubai, "Xiaoze is quite shy, please don't mind, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Mubai shook his head to show his understanding.
After settling the little boy, the lawyer left. Only Jiang Mubai, Lu Jingchen and the little boy were left in the room. The atmosphere was still awkward and heavy.
Lu Jingchen looked at Jiang Mubai's pale face and hugged her in his arms distressedly: "Mubai, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will be with you."
Jiang Mubai leaned in Lu Jingchen's arms, tears silently falling. She didn't know what to do, she felt that her life was like a tangled mess, which was impossible to cut and sort out.
The little boy hiding in the corner of the room watched all this silently, with complicated thoughts flashing in his eyes.
In the next few days, Jiang Mubai tried hard to adapt to the new life. She learned to take care of Xiaoze, tell him stories, and play games with him. Although Xiaoze was still very shy and rarely spoke, Jiang Mubai could feel that his attitude towards her was slowly changing.
Lu Jingchen also tried his best to play the role of "father". He would play games with Xiaoze, teach him to read and write, and buy toys for him. Although he and Xiaoze were not related by blood, he cared for Xiaoze just as much.
However, the peaceful life did not last long.
One day, Jiang Mubai took Xiaoze to the park and unexpectedly met Gu Yanze.
Gu Yanze looked at the intimate interaction between Jiang Mubai and Xiaoze, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He walked up to Jiang Mubai and said with a slightly mocking tone: "I didn't expect that you adapted so quickly."
Jiang Mubai glanced at Gu Yanze coldly: "This has nothing to do with you."
"How is it none of my business?" Gu Yanze sneered, "Xiaoze is my child."
"So?" Jiang Mubai hit back without showing any weakness, "You want to take him back?"
Gu Yanze didn't say anything, but just stared at Jiang Mubai closely, his eyes full of aggression.
At this moment, Xiaoze suddenly ran over, grabbed Jiang Mubai's hand, and said timidly: "Aunt Mubai, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Mubai's heart suddenly softened. She hugged Xiaoze tightly in her arms, raised her head, and said coldly to Gu Yanze: "Did you see it? He needs me, not you."
Gu Yanze's face instantly turned gloomy. He grabbed Jiang Mubai's arm and said in a cold tone, "Jiang Mubai, you'd better not challenge my bottom line."
Jiang Mubai met Gu Yanze's gaze without fear: "My bottom line is to protect Xiaoze."
The atmosphere between the two was tense and ready to explode. Xiaoze, who was hiding in Jiang Mubai's arms, was trembling with fear in his eyes...
Gu Yanze's hands were like iron clamps, holding Jiang Mubai so tightly that it hurt. She bit her lip, stubbornly refusing to show weakness. Xiaoze trembled even more violently in her arms, and his small body seemed to fall apart at any time. People coming and going in the park watched this scene curiously, but no one stepped forward to stop it.
Suddenly, a black Maybach stopped by the roadside, the door opened, and a man in a suit walked out. He walked straight to Gu Yanze and bowed respectfully: "Mr. Gu, the old man asks you to go back."
