Chapter 292 - Playing like kids (1/2)
The next morning, the world received a very shocking news: Weiyoung was not a Liu.
The news was properly detailed and they all saw Mother Liu as a scam who had cheated on her husband and brought in a bastard child.
When Weiyoung saw the news, all she could do was close her eyes and allow tears begin to fall.
Her father had really done that. Her father had actually done what he promised!
Whenever the Mo elders wanted to meet her, they sent for her through the maids. But now, they barged inside her room like she was not even guaranteed privacy.
”Have you seen the news?” Elder Mo roared with a cold face.
Weiyoung remained seated and said nothing to them.
She continued to apply make-up on her face like the people there were irrelevant to her.
”Are you deaf? Did you not hear him?” Madam Mo screamed at her. If not for her pregnancy, she would have given the disrespectful girl a hard slap across her face.
”It's just a rumour. Don't listen to them” Weiyoung said with her gaze still fixed on the mirror as she wore a dangling earring on one ear.
”A rumour? You are the daughter of a scoundrel! Is that why you were sneaking your way inside this family?”
”So what if I am?” She stood up and looked at the both of them in anger.
”What if I am a bastard and the news was really true? Does it make any difference? I am carrying your son's child and we are going to get married.” She stated coldly.
”Dare to throw me out and see if the media will not turn their attention to your family next.”
”Weiyoung! Are you threatening us?” Madam Mo shouted at her and could no longer control her temper so she gave Weiyoung a slap on her face.
The slap caused her to fall to the ground and she cried out when she fell with her hands covering her belly.
But it did nothing to stop the pain. And Madam Mo seemed to not care anymore because she continued to hit her out of anger and frustration.
She was not only disrespectful, she had tried to tie the Mos with her pregnancy. What if she was just like her useless mother and the pregnancy was not their grandson's?
Elder Mo sighed deeply as he watched both women.
The news was all about her. Which was also affecting his family.
It was bad enough that her family had nothing. She was now even a bastard child?
His only daughter who had abandoned them for a long time finally called them today and told them to make sure they got rid of Weiyoung from their family.
Even though Mo Aida now hated her son and did not want to include herself in his life affair anymore, she was still never going to allow him get married to that manipulative thing from the Liu family.
”Enough!” Elder Mo hit his walking stick on the ground to stop both women.
He could not believe his old wife had the energy to fight with a younger woman.
But he believe it must have hurt his wife a lot because it was going to be embarrassing for her to go out now when such news was going round about her supposed daughter-in-law.
”You. Give birth to this child. When you are done, a DNA test would be carried out. And if it is a Mo, we would pay you handsomely for you to go live well. You could go abroad if you wish. That is the best this family can offer you”
Once he was done telling her, he left the room and his wife followed.
Weiyoung lay fully on the ground and began to cry aloud.
She had never been so humiliated in her entire life.
Now they had even reduced her to be a surrogate?
As she was still crying there, she saw her bodyguard, Aotian come in.
Now, he did not even bother to knock also?
She was a bit scared when she saw him enter. After that Christmas night where they both had sex and he had raped her, he always had this smug look on his face whenever he looked at her.
She tried to sit up but she could not.
”You always acted high and mighty. But look at you” He mocked before helping her up.
”I was asked to take you to the hospital. So get dressed”
He smirked at her before leaving the room.

Dexi had also returned from his little 'gossip trip'.
After he got dressed for work and went outside, his secretary showed him the news that was circulating round.
For days, he had had a serious expression on his face. But today, as he saw the news, he began to laugh.
”Poor Nephew. He must have betrayed his country in his past life to have such a messy life now”
Even without anyone telling him, he knew Jinyong was with his mother, Aida, planning something everyday.
But no matter how much he planned, he was always dragged to the spotlight one way or the other. Now, it was about his fiancée?
”Serves them right. Such a perfect news to start the day”
He began to hum a song as he got inside the back seat of his SUV.
”About Sara Wang... We saw something strange” His Secretary informed.
”Something strange? What is it?” Dexi asked curiously.
”Miss Changyu. She slept in Sara's house. I think she is close with Sara's father” He dropped the bomb that surprised Dexi.
”What?” Dexi shifted uncontrollably in his seat when he heard it.
He began to scratch his head. Why was everything going bad for him.
He had thought Changyu was just a bit close with Sara. But now, the woman had even spent a night in their place and was close with Sara's father?
He remembered what his secretary told him when they were returning from country V.
”Mr Mo. I did not want to say this earlier. But I thought I should remind you of something.”
”What is it?” Dexi had asked when he saw his secretary's serious face.
”You asked me to remind you to never get on Sara's bad side. You might not like the outcome”
The reminder had reminded Dexi of what Sara was capable of doing.
He was still thinking about how to handle it but now, Changyu was sleeping in her house!?
He could only conclude that Jinyong must have transferred some of his bad luck to him.
Sara did not only have her scary self, she had Muchen beside her, who looked like he would kill for her. And now, there was also Changyu.
”Damn it!” He said in frustration

While most people in the world were awake already, Sara was still deep in sleep.
In her dream, she saw herself plunging deep into that particular river she had drowned in years back.
Everything replayed again just like that night, and she had thought she was going to drown but she suddenly heard someone call her name.
Inside the water, she forced her eyes open when she was about giving up to look for the person who had just called her name.
Was she not in the river alone? Was someone else inside?
The water was dark and scary, but she was able to see the person because light radiated all over Muchen as he swam to where she was.
”Sara” He called again.
She looked at him in surprise and wondered what he was doing there.
This dream felt different. Other times, everything played out the original way. But now, it was as if the script was changed.
As she looked at him, his mouth was not moving but she could clearly hear his voice.
He used his hands to point upwards and told her to swim up with him.
He smiled at her, and she smiled back.
