Shi Ze had considered the possibility of Xiao Bai being Qian Xun’s son, but he had never once imagined that Xiao Bai would turn up at the engagement banquet seeking his mother.
This was way too disrespectful! Instinctively, he looked over at Qian Xun and the people of the Sus.
Old Master Su was stumped as well.
He was equally perplexed at what was going on. However, he was still rather composed as he looked at his daughter, expecting her to give an answer and diffuse the current situation in the most tender and amicable way possible.
But, just as Qian Xun was about to say something, Xiao Bai started bawling out, “Mummy, mummy…!”
That was an extremely tragic and dismal cry.
Shi Ze smiled at Xiao Bai, wanting to help Qian Xun out of this mess. “Xiao Bai, she is not your mummy.”
“She is, she is! She is my mummy!” Xiao Bai refuted loudly as his petite face crumpled up. “Uncle, don’t be a third party and steal my daddy’s wife!”
Shi Ze nearly choked with that remark.
How was he the third party now? Even if this child was Qian Xun’s, he was the one going to get engaged with Qian Xun right now! Shouldn’t Lu Yanzhi be the third party then?
He wanted to rebut, but… arguing with a child would only cause him more embarrassment.
Yet, if he didn’t explain things, wouldn’t that mean acknowledging that he was a third party?
For a moment, Shi Ze’s face turned black as he frowned and looked at Qian Xun, who had been silent the entire time. No matter how everything turned out today, he must not suffer any losses!
At a time as such, whether or not the child was Qian Xun’s, the fault lay with her.
He looked at Qian Xun and lowered his voice with a tinge of anger. “If you don’t want to get engaged, so be it. Why did you have to ask this kid to come create a ruckus to break this engagement?”
Qian Xun shook her head. “It’s not me…!”
Shi Ze merely scoffed coldly. “Is he not your son then?”
“She is my mummy!” Xiao Bai replied for her before glaring at Shi Ze and lecturing him as though he was the adult. “Say, uncle here… As a man, you shouldn’t be third party, or even the heavens would punish you for it!”
Shi Ze’s mother thought that her son could finally break free from the Lus and lead a normal life. To think that the wife he found would have borne a child for the Lus!
Unable to handle the agitation, she fainted over.
Instantly, people supported her while yelling out anxiously, “Madam Shi, please wake up! Madam Shi! Wake up! Wake up…!”
When Shi Ze saw his mother faint, he lost all his control immediately.
His entire face was filled with worry as he rushed forth to check things out. Luckily, it wasn’t anything serious, and she merely fainted over the heat of the moment.
As they massaged her temple, she stirred awake slowly and he carried her to the resting lounge so that she wouldn’t receive any more provocations.
Before he left, he said to Qian Xun with a black face, “I don’t care if it’s a prank or for real, you should be answerable to me for this!”
Qian Xun did not know what to do.
She looked at Xiao Bai who was hugging her thighs and bent over to hug him up before heading over to the resting lounge as well. The 2nd uncle of the Su Family supported Old Master Su as the rest of the Sus headed over as well, leaving only Su Ya and Su Wencheng to placate the crowd.
Shi Guang wanted to follow instinctively, only to be held back by Lu Yanchen. “You shouldn’t go.”
“But Xiao Bai?”
“I’ll go fetch him back.”
