CHAPTER 556: CHAPTER 556: GU XIYUE IS MRS. GU’S BIOLOGICAL CHILD

"She really has nothing better to do, huh? Stuffed from eating and just looking for trouble, right? Jiang Qiu, oh what a Jiang Qiu!"

Jiang’s mother popped up from the sofa, livid with anger.

Lu Jing wanted to say something to calm her down, but Jiang’s mother had already picked up her phone to make a call.

Ugh, he had no choice but to sit back down.

The call Jiang’s mother made wasn’t to just anyone, and certainly not to Jiang Qiu herself, but to a person who would shock anyone—the head of the Gu Family, that is, Gu Xiyue’s father!

Lu Jing had no clue at first, it was only after the call connected and Jiang’s mother coldly called out ’Mr. Gu’ that he suddenly realized.

And the content of the call that followed completely floored him.

"Mr. Gu, if you can’t control your daughter, you can’t even control your woman now, can you?"

Hiss?

Lu Jing’s pupils widened in shock. That ’woman’ Aunt Su was talking about, it couldn’t be Jiang Qiu, could it?

Heavens.

If it were true, that would be...

After all, Jiang Qiu had a family of her own, and the head of the Gu Family also had a family.

Those two?

No way!

That’s just too absurd!

As Lu Jing was wildly speculating, Jiang’s mother spoke again:

"Mr. Gu, if you can’t manage your own woman, then I’ll have to step in. Whatever private deals you two have made have nothing to do with the Jiang Family, and any promises Jiang Qiu made don’t represent us!"

After Jiang’s mother finished speaking, she hung up the phone and finally noticed the prospective daughter-in-law sitting there, looking at her curiously.

Jiang’s mother’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably a few times:

"Cough, Jingjing, did I scare you? I... I was just really angry, I’m not usually like this."

Pfft—

Was she that worried the prospective daughter-in-law would be scared of her?

Lu Jing shook her head repeatedly:

"Not at all."

How could she be scared?

Just extremely curious.

"Aunt Su, the ’woman’ you just mentioned is..."

Jiang’s mother sighed, glanced around to make sure no one was listening, then leaned in:

"It’s exactly what you’re thinking."

Hiss!!!

Lu Jing’s mouth dropped open wide:

"Ah?"

So it was true?

With a look of disgust, Jiang’s mother said:

"The two of them, ah, there were rumors about them many years ago, but without any evidence, and after so many years, no one brought it up again.

But, after what happened last time, I had someone investigate, and they indeed found something."

So?

"They used to be lovers?"

Jiang’s mother shook her head and let out a scornful chuckle:

"Lovers? She’s just someone the head of the Gu Family kept on the side."

What the hell?

Jiang Qiu used to be that ’someone’ for the head of the Gu Family?

Unbelievable.

This news was really shocking.

"Then what about Gu Xiyue?"

She couldn’t help but wonder because Jiang Qiu had always been too kind to Gu Xiyue, even nicer than a real mother.

But Jiang’s mother shook her head:

"No, Gu Xiyue was born to Mrs. Gu; we all saw it at the hospital."

Ah?

So, was Jiang Qiu kicked in the head by a donkey? Or just loving by extension?

Who knew, at that moment, Jiang’s mother dropped an even bigger piece of gossip:

"We can be sure that Gu Xiyue was born to Mrs. Gu, but the same can’t be said about the Gu Family’s young master."

What the hell?

The Gu Family’s young master—that’s the heir, isn’t he?

He wasn’t born to Mrs. Gu?

This was even scarier than the previous revelation!

Jiang’s mother didn’t want to say too much more, after all, there was no evidence:

"Don’t think too much about it. After all, this is the Gu Family’s business, it’s got nothing to do with us!"
