Chapter 9-Where Does the Child Come From?
“The neighbor is Xiao Xi.” Gong Yu’s words were like a bomb exploded in Seventh Brother’s mind.
“What did you say? Xiao Xi lives opposite? I was puzzled why you suddenly asked me to buy the specific house for you. I took great effort to find the house-owner and buy it. It turned out that you come here for Xiao Xi.”
Gong Yu collapsed on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes. He said with sorrow, “Seventh Brother, she has a child!”
Seventh Brother blew up as he said, “What did you say? Xiao Xi has a child. You mentioned that she is two years younger than you. How could she give birth to a child before 23? Who’s her husband?”
Gong Yu said coldly, “I only saw a three-year-old little girl. There seems to be no man in their family.”
“What? She had a child without getting married or she is a single mother. It sounds wrong. Yun Muxi is 23 years old while the child is 3 years old. So, she delivered the child at 20. Are you kidding me? Could the girl be an adopted child? It’s unlikely to have a baby at such a young age. She was underage to get married.” Seventh Brother muttered in astonishment, analyzing carefully with all his brain cells.
“No, the child resembles her. She must be her birth mother.” Gong Yu said indifferently.
“If she is unmarried, has she been bullied? Or she met an unfaithful lover? You said she was very beautiful. Perhaps she was targeted by an evildoer and **?” Seventh Brother blew his mind with his sheer imagination and guessed about the possibilities.
Having listened to Seventh Brother’s speculation, Gong Yu felt a heartache. A painful memory came to his mind. Thinking of the possibilities, he simmered with rage. Suddenly, he stood up.
Seventh Brother was startled by Gong Yu, whose blue veins on the forehead protruded out. His eyes were scarlet and narrowed into a slit. He became more ruthless and tyrannical, like the King of Hell came out of Hell.
Seventh Brother hurried to pacify him. “Gong Yu, I’m just guessing. Perhaps she met someone who she liked and she was willing to deliver a child.”
Seventh Brother should not say that. Hearing that, Gong Yu was angrier. His clenched fists uttered a creaking sound. Seventh Brother thought that it was the sound of his bone breaking on his neck. He felt cold in his neck and could not help touching his neck.
Seventh Brother had accompanied Gong Yu for so long, but he had never seen him so ruthless. Gong Yu was as hardhearted as an iceberg, and he never went crazy with joy and rage. Except for faint sadness, he never had a big emotional swing.
Gong Yu stormed out of the door like a gust of wind. Seventh Brother was stupified for a while and immediately chased after him.
Gong Yu went out and ran straight for the opposite door. He thumped the door. Upon hearing the urgent knock, Yun Muxi was unpleasant because she felt like the door was about to shatter. Thus, she wondered who was so impolite.
As she opened the door, she felt a fit of dizziness before she was lifted up by a huge figure. Before she could see the comer clearly, she had been taken into the opposite house. The door was shut with a bang, and Seventh Brother nearly broke his nose outside the door.
Gu Yuxuan ran out and saw Seventh Brother cover his nose and wrinkle his face, with two strands of blood slowly flowing between fingers. She went forward and inquired kindly, “Sir, are you Ok?”
Seventh Brother was speechless in pain and shed tears. Gu Yuxuan looked at the closed door and then Seventh Brother. She asked lightly, “Sir… would you like to go in and treat your nose?”
Seventh Brother followed Gu Yuxuan, entering Yun Muxi’s house.
Gong Yu carried Yun Muxi into the bedroom rapidly and threw her on the big soft bed. Her delicate body bounced on the big bed twice and immediately fell into the soft quilt.
Before she responded, a heavy shadow covered Yun Muxi. Then, Gong Yu pressed against her and glared at her with scarlet eyes, as if he were about to burst out flames of fury to burn her into ashes.
Yun Muxi only felt her heart pounding wildly. She swallowed her saliva and asked nervously, “What are you… you… doing?”
Gong Yu said as coldly as ice, “What am I doing? I’d rather ask you what you have done.”
Yun Muxi was so nervous that her brain descended into chaos as the computer went down. “Eh… Eh… I didn’t do anything…”
“You did not do anything? You did not do anything? Where does the child come from?” Gong Yu looked ruthless and tyrannical, which sent her into spasms of sheer terror.
“She, she comes from… “Yun Muxi almost blurted out but immediately stopped. She clenched her lower lip and stop talking.
Receiving no answers, Gong Yu narrowed his eyes. He knew that she must keep something from him. He grabbed her small chin with great strength until his finger pulp became bluish white. She clearly felt that her chin was going to be crushed.
Yun Muxi shed tears in pain but she endured the pain, biting her lower lip tightly with white teeth, which almost oozed blood. Her big black eyes were as clear as deep lakes. Her teardrops circled in her eyes as the lake rippled gently, and nobody could stand the sight. She looked pitiful, with obvious grievances on her little face.
Gong Yu was suddenly softhearted as he realized his rudeness. He became less cruel and fierce. He released his hand and asked again, “Where does the child come from?”
Yun Muxi tilted her head and looked out of the window, saying indifferently, “Mr. Gong, we haven’t known each other that well. It’s my private affair. I am not obliged to tell you!”
“Ah? Your private affair? You tell me it’s your private affair! Yun Muxi, you will not shed a tear until you see the coffin.” Gong Yu’s heart was hurt by her words deeply, so he set her head straight rudely and forced her to gaze at him.
“Mr. Gong, you’ve harassed me like this several times. What are you driving at? If you act like this again, I will ask the police for help!” Yun Muxi looked cool and said fiercely.
