“…” Shen Qianshu was startled.
It was as if… definitely… Something isn’t quite right!
She should have asked Ye Ling to cook for the child and had the meal together. Why did she ask Tong Hua to cook for Ye Ling? She really should not have said that. She had let her son down.
Shen Qianshu sent an emoticon that represented a person begging for mercy.
Tong Hua refused to reply.
Chen Qiuxiang asked, “Your son?”
“Yeah. I made him angry.” It would be too long for Shen Qianshu to explain.
Lu Mengxi smiled and intervened. “Qianshu, you’re so amazing. All these years, you have been fighting battles along with your son. It isn’t easy for you to do that. You gave birth to Tong Hua long ago, huh? Where’s his dad? Have you been secretly married all this time?”
“Miss Lu, you may not know this, but Tong Hua is Qianshu’s adopted child. Not biological.”
Lu Mengxi looked as if she was shocked. “How could it be? Lu Mengxi said you were pregnant…”
She seemed as if she had noticed something and cut off the conversation hurriedly. She then looked at Shen Qianshu while she pretended to look embarrassed. “Sorry I may have heard wrong.”
That sentence was enough to raise a thousand ripples.
The colleagues at Gubelin had always thought that Tong Hua was adopted by Shen Qianshu. Shen Qianshu had also said that she had adopted him, but she had never mentioned about him being her biological son. If he was her biological son, he would have been a child born out of wedlock. She was only twenty-five this year, and that would mean that she was bearing a child when she had only just turned eighteen. That would certainly be shocking.
Shen Qianshu’s face darkened, and she stared at Lu Mengxi.
Lu Mengxi apologized profusely. “I’m so sorry, Qianshu. I must have heard wrong, maybe. Lin Xuan said that you were neighbors a long time ago, and he had seen you… Oh dear, I said the wrong thing again.”
Zhou Lulu seemed as if she had caught a lie. “Shen Qianshu, it can’t be that Tong Hua is really your son huh? You gave birth to a child out of wedlock and lied to everyone that Tong Hua was adopted by you. That would be so… shameless of you.”
“Yeah, giving birth in your teens when you are unmarried. Gosh, shocking news! We actually have someone so uncultured in Gubelin.”
“The moment Miss Lu mentioned it, I noticed too. Actually, Tong Hua does look a lot like Shen Qianshu. If she had not said so, no one would have believed that he was adopted. Most people would believe that he was her biological son. Gosh, this is really shocking news. Shen Qianshu, how do you feel for the people who send you flowers every day and the male colleagues who have been having a crush on you? And they even think that you’re a pure, cool, and elegant goddess. All of them persevere to court you. I can’t believe you are someone like that.”
“Giving birth in your teens when you are unmarried. Isn’t that what sluts do?”
“How cheap. When I was eighteen, I did not even dare to hold hands with boys when I had graduated from high school. If I got pregnant, my mom would have beaten me to death.”
“I’ve never heard Shen Qianshu mention her parents. Could it be that no one had educated her? How scary.”
Chen Qiuxiang was so mad that she almost smacked the table hard. Those sharp and nasty words were like the blade of a knife, pricking deep into people’s flesh. Although Shen Qianshu continued smiling, there was no sign of happiness in her eyes. It was as if there was a layer of mist over them.
She tugged at Chen Qiuxiang’s hands and said, “Dating at the age of eighteen is really normal, isn’t it? If you walk along the streets, you would see that fourteen and fifteen-year-olds are all dating. I can only say that I was ahead of everyone else. Miss Lu heard some rumors about me being pregnant, but have you seen it with your own eyes?”
“So I said, I heard wrong.”
“Don’t believe what people tell you until you see it for yourself. A true lady would never speak untruthfully about others. Miss Lu, you have never seen me pregnant, and yet on your first day at work, you mention that I had a child when I was unmarried in front of thirty colleagues during our department gathering. You are trying to imply that I have an indecent private life. And what is your reason for doing so?”
