“No, that’s our family legacy. My grandfather likes to gamble. If I hadn’t met you, perhaps I would have walked down the wrong path.” Even though that was the lifestyle she hated the most, she had fears that that’s what she would become in the end.
“Xiao Meng, you’re thinking too much. You don’t have such genes!”
“If he didn’t, why would Xingye have such talent? You can’t deny that he has talent in gambling, right? We all have these genes. If we combine our genes, what would the child be like? What if he also ends up gambling and loves it…”
“He’ll be smart. Look at me, I’m someone who can learn very vast! And my dad likes to gamble too! He even secretly borrowed money to gamble! If our places were switched, would you think that I should be afraid of my genes? That I should not have gotten married and should choose not to have children?”
Mu Huan knew that since she was young, Li Meng had been told that a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. Having a father and daughter relationship like that was not a good thing. She felt inferior and was always afraid that she would become such a person.
Because she had such genes in her body.
“Xiao Huan, we’re different…”
“Which part is different?”
“Your dad started gambling later on. Did he like gambling since he was young? I remember you saying that when your dad was studying, he was always at the top in medical school. He was forced by your grandma to such a state. My dad, on the other hand, is like my grandfather. My grandfather is famous in the vicinity. My dad even stole someone’s things before he started school. When he grew up…
“That’s mostly because you’re poor. Now that you and Xingye are rich, you won’t lack money in the future. Why would your child want to steal? If you and Xingye can avoid gambling, why would your child gamble?”
Li Meng asked, “Do you think Gong Zeye’s fiancee is rich?”
Mu Huan: “…”
“She’s rich, but she still wants to do such things. Why?”
“This…” Mu Huan couldn’t understand why someone so rich would want to do such a thing.
“Didn’t you say that she wanted to inherit the family’s legacy?”
Mu Huan: “…”
“Xiao Huan, there are some things that really make one have no choice but to think about them… Besides, I’m not afraid of gambling, but I’m afraid of how bad my thinking is… I don’t know what to say. You should understand what I mean.”
“I can understand what you mean, but I think your understanding is caused by what you’ve heard for a long time. There won’t be such a situation. Both you and Xingye are smart, kind, and hardworking. Both of you are very good! If the two of you were really together, it wouldn’t be what you think it would be! Your child would be very lively and cute, smart, and have a good character!”
Li Meng smiled, but she did not continue this topic. “Didn’t you say that your husband would pick you up to attend that young lady’s birthday banquet today? Hurry up and go. Your husband should be waiting for you at the entrance.”
Mu Huan knew that the trauma that those words had left in her since she was young could not be resolved by just addressing it once or twice. Hence, she did not continue.
When Mu Huan got into the car at the school entrance…
Coincidentally, Long Feiting was walking to the school gate with Mu Kexin in his arms. When he saw Mu Huan, he was stunned and stopped in his tracks.
It was only when Mu Kexin asked him what was wrong that he snapped back to his senses.
Lowering his head, he looked toward Mu Kexin.
He looked at her with those eyes.
Mu Kexin was at a loss as to what to do with her heart rate.
