Hello, Heir

Nodding her head, the nurse began packing and putting the items into the car.

Xin Xin, who was standing by the side, was stunned.

He was baffled.

Didn’t his mother say that this pretty auntie was to be hated? His mother had even said that she was a home-wrecking evil witch.

If so, why did she just save him? And why was she now protecting him?

At his tender age, he had no conception of right or wrong. All he knew was that she had helped him, and a strange thought began forming in his mind. This pretty auntie isn’t as bad as Mother made her out to be!

In the ward...

After Si Jingyu left, Shi Jinyan, who had been pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes. With a glint in his eyes, he glanced toward Bai Yue and said, “What do you mean, she’s your mother?”

Bai Yue was just pouring out some soup that Mrs. Shi had made. Hearing this, she paused for a moment before turning around to smile at Shi Jinyan. “Jinyan, even if you don’t like me, your mother does. I’m already her goddaughter.”

Goddaughter?

Who was she kidding?

Shi Jinyan narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to reply, Bai Yue spoke first. “Jinyan, the children are still here, so please save me some face.”

The children were still here...

That made Shi Jinyan swallow the words he had prepared. After sweeping his cold gaze over Bai Yue, his eyes finally settled on Mrs. Shi. “Mother, do you want a son or a daughter?”

Having already heard what Bai Yue had said, Mrs. Shi raised her brows.

But she was old and soft-hearted.

Ever since Xin Xin came into the picture, all of her attention had been directed toward him.

She knew well that Jingyu was a hundred times better than Bai Yue.

But no matter how good a person Jingyu was, she was just not Xin Xin’s mother.

So, if she wanted to give Xin Xin a happy family, she had to get Bai Yue to marry into the household. As long as Shi Jinyan agreed to the marriage, she would put up with her dislike of Bai Yue.

At this very moment, however, seeing how adamant her son was, she quickly replied, “Alright, alright. Bai Yue, you can’t just call anyone your mother.”

That made Bai Yue turn pale. Biting her lips, she felt a sense of shame flowing through her whole body. Just then, she heard the faint cries of Xin Xin from outside. Stunned, she looked toward Mrs. Shi, who was already beginning to get nervous. “Where’s Xin Xin? Where is he?”

It was only then that all of them walked out of the ward.

Following the length of the corridor and turning a corner after, Mrs. Shi and Mr. Shi were greeted with the sight of Si Jingyu and Xin Xin. Seeing the state both of them were in, Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi were stunned, and Mrs, Shi tensed up. “Xin Xin, what... what’s going on? Are you okay?”

Stepping forward quickly, she grabbed Xin Xin and began checking if anything had been done to him.

Bai Yue’s gaze swept from the cart to Xin Xin, who was now frozen in shock. Eventually, her gaze fell on Si Jingyu. As if she had suddenly thought of something, she quickly lowered her head, walked to Xin Xin’s side, and said in a low voice, “Si Jingyu! Xin Xin’s just a child! If you have anything against us, just let me be the one to bear it! What are you doing all of this for?”

As soon as Bai Yue said this, Mrs. Shi immediately stopped what she was doing. Raising her head, she stared at Si Jingyu in disbelief.
