Ignoring Mo Huiling completely, Mu Wanqing led a line of people in.
“You…” Mo Huiling wanted to go in too, but none of the members of the Gu family paid any attention to her. They simply allowed the bodyguards to take her away and did not even spare her a second glance.
Even though she knew that they only cared about the precious child in her womb.
But the fact that they were treating her like a baby-making machine who was worth nothing without this child made her furious.
“Hmph. When I give birth to the eldest grandson of the Gu family in the future, you people… just see what I’ll do.”
Mo Huiling saw a line of people from the Gu family walk towards the clubhouse at the edge of the park. The other people around them still seemed to be gossiping.
She asked, “Can’t you take me to the clubhouse too?!”
The bodyguards said, “Sorry, Miss Mo. We can’t do that.”
“I…” Mo Huiling continued, “The clubhouse isn’t a private estate anyway. I should at least be allowed to go there on my own.”
The bodyguards remained stoic. “The clubhouse over there has already been booked for today by the Gu family.”
“You…”
Alright then. The Gu family was a huge family with a large business empire. They could even reserve the entire area at the bottom of the mountain just for a visit to the tombs.
Mo Huiling could only follow the bodyguards to a small pavilion at the side for a rest. She sat in the middle with dread filling her stomach.

All the members of the Gu family made their way into the hall of the clubhouse.
They were supposed to be here for a pleasant family gathering. But now, the atmosphere had become unusually solemn.
Lin Che and Gu Jingze found a place to sit, as did everyone else. Mu Wanqing sat in the middle, Gu Lanshan sat at the front and the youngest aunt Gu Yiran sat at the back. The only male child from their generation was Gu Jingze. Gu Jingze had only aunts and no uncles.
As daughters of an eminent family, his two aunts did not usually bother with matters on his side since they both had their own businesses to run. However, they could not ignore the matter since they had encountered it today. After all, it had to do with the next generation of the Gu family.
Gu Lanshan said, “Jingze, you definitely can’t be sure that the child in Mo Huiling’s womb really isn’t yours, right?”
Gu Jingze said, “I’m sure.”
“How do you know?”
“The sperm I stored away is untouched. So what she says cannot be true. Naturally, the child isn’t mine.”
“Jingze, we’re family. I’ll speak a little more bluntly, so don’t get angry. That thing isn’t stored individually or in twos. All of us store it too. We put it in a small glass bottle and freeze it. How would you know that its contents are completely intact?”
Gu Jingze said, “Aunt, what do you mean by this?”
Gu Lanshan said, “We’ll know if it’s your child after she gives birth to it. Don’t touch her for the time being. If it’s your child, we’ll take it in after she gives birth to it. I think Little Che isn’t so petty a person that she would refuse to bring up your child. If the child isn’t yours, we’ll just let her give birth to it but our family will simply ignore it completely thereafter.”
Gu Jingze said, “It has nothing to do with Lin Che. I’m the one who doesn’t want the child. Even if it’s mine, I won’t want it either. I won’t let my woman suffer by helping someone else bring up a child. If I allow such a thing to befall Lin Che, how can I still be qualified to be her husband?”
“You…” Gu Lanshan continued, “Don’t be so unreasonable.”
