Wen Nanping had never forgotten Gu Guosheng and immediately decided to have an induced abortion so she could marry Gu Guosheng and become a wealthy lady.
Despite Ou Chenghai’s repeated attempts to keep her, he couldn’t make her stay.
In the end, he begged her bitterly to give birth to the child before she left.
Remembering the three years she had been abandoned by Gu Guosheng, how Ou Chenghai had taken care of her so meticulously, she softened her heart and agreed, considering it a thank you gift to him.
Gu Guosheng had his objections, but at that time his interest in Wen Nanping was strong, so he went along with it.
Wen Nanping truly had no feelings for Ou Lan, and after giving birth to Ou Lan without even a glance, she hopped into a luxury car and went off with Gu Guosheng as a married couple.
After marrying Gu Guosheng, in order to consolidate her position, she disregarded her postpartum weakness and was impatient to get pregnant with Gu Guosheng’s child, giving birth to a daughter, who is Gu Manli.
Gu Manli is only one year younger than Ou Lan.
The story should have ended there, with her living in the North city affluent area and Ou Chenghai and his daughter living in the Southern city slum without interfering with each other, but as time went on, Wen Nanping became more and more restless, fearing every day that this fact would be exposed.
Gu Guosheng was set on having a son to inherit his business, but because Wen Nanping was too anxious while pregnant with Gu Manli and did not take care of her health properly before getting pregnant again, she suffered a difficult labor and massive hemorrhage, losing her ability to have more children.
At first, Gu Guosheng still cherished the love they had during their passionate period and treated her well, but as time passed, he began to complain and even took up a mistress, producing two illegitimate children.
Gu Guosheng’s mistress was no easy woman and often whispered in his ear, gradually filling Gu Guosheng with regret for his past choices.
During their quarrels, he would humiliate her with the fact that she had had a child with a man from the slums.
With resentment and no outlet for it, Wen Nanping grew to hate Ou Chenghai and even more so Ou Lan, whom she’d given birth to in a moment of weakness.
“Whore!”
“Fox Spirit!”
Gu Manli, accustomed to her parents’ quarrels and cold wars, didn’t care and continued viciously insulting Ou Lan.
“Enough!” Gu Guosheng stopped them irritably, “From today on, everyone keep a low profile and don’t provoke Ou Lan anymore, to avoid bringing me trouble.”
Finished speaking, Gu Guosheng turned and left without a look back.
Wen Nanping knew he was off to spend the night with his mistress and illegitimate children again, hence her hatred deepened as her eyes narrowed fiercely, her teeth clenched, “I must get rid of that jinx, Ou Lan.”
Gu Manli immediately leaned in, looking at Wen Nanping with bright eyes, more desirous of Ou Lan’s death than Wen Nanping, “Mom, what should we do?”
…
Ou Lan slept drowsily until midnight when she realized she was in the arms of someone broad and warm.
The golden moonlight seeped through the curtains, casting a soft haze over the handsome face of the man and enveloping her in his rich masculine scent.
The door was locked from the inside; Moxiao couldn’t possibly come in, so this had to be a dream.
Such a handsome man deserved a kiss.
Since it was only a dream, she really wanted to kiss him while they were eating.
She boldly traced his features and when she reached his lips, she couldn’t help but kiss them.
It felt nice, so she kissed him a couple more times.
After all, it was only a dream.
Moxiao was naturally vigilant and woke up quickly as she moved, opening his eyes to see the girl kissing him.
When she saw his eyes open, she was startled, then calmed down, “What are you looking at?
This is just a dream.”
A dream?
Moxiao was impressed by her reasoning.
To prevent her from realizing he was in her bed and freaking out, he closed his eyes again quickly.
