Ditsy Wife: Mysterious Husband is Unfathomable Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Meeting With Mrs. Sheng

“Uh…”

Mrs. Sheng sighed. “Can I meet with you? I mainly want to see Nanxuan. Please sympathize with a mother’s feelings.”

Gong Mo thought it over and asked, “Do you want me to tell Nanxuan about it?”

After hesitating for a moment, Mrs. Sheng said, “Not yet. I don’t know if he’s willing to see me. It was overboard of his father to disinherit him, but he might also be blaming me for the way things turned out. Don’t tell him about our meeting. You don’t need to worry that I’ll put you on the spot. You’re getting married soon and I give you my blessings.”

“Thank you,” mumbled Gong Mo. “Well then… I’ll let you decide the time, Mrs. Sheng.”

…

Gong Mo walked into a tea shop and found Mrs. Sheng. Mrs. Sheng sat gracefully and luxuriously with a slight strictness to her imposing aura. She was rumored to have been a powerful woman when she was younger.

Gong Mo walked over and smiled thinly, “Mrs. Sheng.”

“Why are you acting so unfamiliar?” asked Mrs. Sheng. “You’re about to marry Nanxuan.”

“Uh… Auntie,” Gong Mo corrected herself awkwardly.

“Sit down.” Mrs. Sheng smiled as she held up the menu. “What would you like to drink?”

“Scented tea.” She couldn’t drink normal tea because of her pregnancy.

Mrs. Sheng requested the waitstaff to brew a pot of scented tea for her, then ordered two types of pastries as well. After the food arrived, Mrs. Sheng asked, “Is Nanxuan well?”

“Yes, quite.”

“Are you getting married because of what happened that day?” Mrs. Sheng stared at her unblinkingly.

Gong Mo froze with her teacup in hand. She didn’t feel like telling Mrs. Sheng she was pregnant, and she set her teacup down slowly.

Mrs. Sheng’s eyes narrowed as she looked at the scented tea. “Are you… pregnant?”

Gong Mo was silent.

If she said no, she wouldn’t be able to explain why she was getting married with someone she just met. Even if they did do it and he wanted to take responsibility for it, they could have tried dating first and not rush the marriage. There could only be one reason for their hasty marriage.

She sighed, nodded helplessly, and took a sip of tea. “Nanxuan is a responsible man and is willing to stay by my side as I give birth. It would be detrimental to my body if I were to get an abortion, so I agreed to have the child.”

“So that’s how things are,” sighed Mrs. Sheng. “This all happened because of a freak combination of factors.”

Gong Mo gripped her teacup tightly. “I feel very awkward too. After all, I used to date Donglin. But please believe me when I say that I’m not a shameless woman.”

Mrs. Sheng held her hand and patted it gently. “Don’t take it to heart. Things have already happened and you just don’t have affinity with Donglin. You’ve never been to Donglin’s room before, so it’s natural that you’d make a mistake.”

The corner of Gong Mo’s eye twitched and she retracted her hand slowly.

She wanted to say that she didn’t make a mistake. It was Sheng Donglin who directed her to the wrong room deliberately so that he could harm Sheng Nanxuan! Su Mo was also involved and she was even crueler!

“What’s wrong?” Mrs. Sheng gazed at her with concern. “You can tell me any worries you may have. Oh and, Nanxuan’s dad has frozen his card, so he must lack money now. You’re about to get married and you’re carrying a child too. It will be quite expensive.”

Mrs. Sheng opened her bag and took out a checkbook as she spoke.

Upon seeing this, Gong Mo stopped her immediately. “Auntie! No!”

“This is something I want to give Nanxuan.” Mrs. Sheng waved her hands away and started to write the check. “He’s my son and you don’t know how worried I am about him. But his dad… Aish, I can only ask around for news of him discreetly. His dad has such an obstinate temper that even nine bulls charging at him cannot change his mind. We’ll have to wait a while more before urging him to reconsider.”
