261 You Misbehaved 4 (2/2)

”The child of your old flame seems to have encountered some unholy spirits. I'm about to go take a look.”

”There you go spouting nonsense again. You're the only old flame I have. Don't you hate her to the core? Why do you still bother helping her?” said Jin Qingyan as he reached a hand out to pinch her lips.

”My mother called to ask for my help. Besides, I'm helping the child, not her. The child is innocent. Furthermore, he belongs to Dongcheng too.” She pushed his hands away from her waist and got out of bed.

Gu Dongcheng drove Mrs. Gu, Chi Rui'er, and the child to An Xiaoning's place for her to have a look.

Upon sight of Chi Rui'er, An Xiaoning completely ignored her presence since she did not even wish to see her at all.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Carrying the child in her arms, Mrs. Gu sat down beside An Xiaoning and said worriedly, ”Xiaoning, quick, have a look. What is wrong with this child?”

After taking a glance, An Xiaoning stood up and said, ”Mother, wait for me here while I go upstairs to get something.”

”Alright.”

An Xiaoning made her way upstairs and returned soon after with a small piece of amulet in her hands. As soon as she pasted the amulet on the infant's forehead, he stopped crying and his face, which was initially flushed red, returned to normal. ”How incredible,” Mrs. Gu exclaimed in astonishment.

Gazing at the infant, An Xiaoning let out a sigh before instructing, ”Don't bring the child to places full of spirits or supernatural beings, such as temples and stuff like that. Those places aren't good for children. Refrain from bringing him to the temple, unless instructed. Mother, let Big Brother carry the child, I have something to tell you about privately.”

Mrs. Gu quickly handed the infant over to Gu Dongcheng before gesturing for Chi Rui'er to leave as well. ”Wait for me in the car with Dongcheng.”

Chi Rui'er agreed abidingly, showing no signs of gratitude to An Xiaoning at all. In fact, she was rather curious about what An Xiaoning had to say to Mrs. Gu.

”Mother, I will tell you the truth. The child is not going to live for long,” An Xiaoning broke the news to her mother with a heavy heart and a somber expression.

”What! Xiaoning, what do you mean?” Mrs. Gu gasped in utter shock.

”The child is here to get revenge, he's not going to live for long. Chi Rui'er had an abortion once, and this child now is the very one she aborted back then. She's destined to only have two sons in her life. Thus, she'll remain childless for the rest of her life after this one dies. Mother, do you understand what I mean? This child is the reincarnation of the one she aborted previously,” An Xiaoning said without hesitation.

”But she fell pregnant shortly after she got together with your eldest brother. According to the flow of events, the child she aborted previously mustn't have belonged to your brother then. I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but if this child is the reincarnation of the previous one, does that mean that this one doesn't belong to your brother too?” As soon as she realized what she just said herself, Mrs. Gu covered her mouth in shock and continued, ”No wonder this child looks nothing like your eldest brother at all. Okay, don't tell anyone, I'm just making a wild guess.”

”The soul and body of the fetus are two separate entities. I can only predict the child's soul, I can't deduce if it belongs to Big Brother or not,” An Xiaoning explained softly.

”Xiaoning, could you then tell me how much longer this child might live for? One to two years? Or more than five?”

”Not that long. A few months, at the very most.”

Greatly taken aback, Mrs. Gu instructed, ”Let's keep this between us two. We definitely can't let your eldest brother and Chi Rui'er know about this. Chi Rui'er is a scheming one, let's not allow her the chance to blame us for her son's death in the future. My lips are sealed for sure.”

”I was just about to tell you that. Mother, how are you so intelligent?” An Xiaoning said with a smirk.

”Of course. Okay, sorry for waking you up in the middle of the night. I'll get going,” said Mrs. Gu as she rose from her seat.

An Xiaoning walked her to the door and watched as their car left before heading back inside.

”Mother, what secret did Xiaoning share with you?” Chi Rui'er asked curiously.

”She's my daughter, can't we talk about other matters apart from secrets? Look how capable Xiaoning is, she managed to solve your problem so quickly. You'd better take good care of the child and avoid bringing him out unnecessarily, especially to places like temples. You hear?” said Mrs. Gu.

”Yes, I also realized that the child began to feel unwell after the visit to the temple,” Chi Rui'er answered, feeling slightly at fault.
