Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Caught the Stalker! It’s actually…
“You all know, I’m old now, and I don’t have many years left to live. My only wish now is to hold my great-grandchild. When that mont cos, even if I die, I’ll be able to rest in peace. So from now on…”
Old Mrs. Mu suddenly shifted her tone and looked at her son. “I don’t want to hear anything that makes Fan YuKe sad anymore. Do you understand?”
In the Mu Family, Old Mrs. Mu always held great authority in her words.
Even though Father Mu felt displeased inside, he did not show it outwardly.
…
Fan YuKe stayed in the kitchen for a long ti but returned once the timing seed right.
She didn’t know what Old Mrs. Mu had said to Father Mu, but the atmosphere in the dining room was noticeably adjusted; it was no longer as tense as before.
“YuKe, the ribs today are excellent. Have so more.”
Old Mrs. Mu’s eyes were full of affection as she personally placed food on YuKe’s plate.
Fan YuKe’s heart ward, and she responded with a sweet smile, “Thank you, Grandma~”
This al passed calmly amidst a small scare, and after chatting with Old Mrs. Mu for a while, Mu Bailang took Fan YuKe ho at 8 PM.
“When will you have ti in the next couple of days?”
After getting into the car, Mu Bailang glanced subtly at her lower abdon and suddenly spoke.
“I have several major scenes to shoot coming up, and my schedule is fully booked. I don’t think I’ll have ti. Why do you ask?”
Mu Bailang started the car but drove noticeably slower than usual.
He drove single-handedly, leaning against the seat, his devilish face shaded with suspicion. He spoke unhurriedly, “Grandma thinks you’re too skinny and is worried about your health. She asked to accompany you to the hospital for a check-up. It won’t take up too much of your ti.”
“Oh, alright,” Fan YuKe said calmly, “I’ll try to find so ti…”
Twenty minutes later.
The car stopped at the entrance of Junyue Mansion.
Fan YuKe unbuckled her seatbelt, but just as she was about to step out of the car, she was stopped by Mu Bailang.
“Is there nothing you want to say to ?”
Fan YuKe had only shared her pregnancy with Grandma but hadn’t told him. Mu Bailang found it hard not to let his thoughts wander.
Fan YuKe’s steps faltered for a mont. After a few seconds of deliberation, she said, “Actually, there is!”
Mu Bailang’s heart tightened.
In the next second, she said, “This month’s salary—don’t forget to transfer it to …”
With that, Fan YuKe grabbed her bag and walked away without looking back.
“…”
Mu Bailang’s lips twitched slightly, and his eyes filled with even more doubt.
After a few monts of silence, he dialed his assistant.
“Call Fan YuKe’s film crew imdiately and ask the director to give her another day off. Also, make sure they take extra care—she cannot endure even the slightest bump or accident. Tell them to be cautious…”
Whether or not Fan YuKe was truly pregnant, it was safest to be cautious for now!
…
Country A, Reykjavik.
The blazing sun hung high in the sky.
Ning Yichu and Chen Bao quickly formulated a plan after noticing soone following them.
In the supermarket, the two deliberately separated at the snack aisle, splitting off in two directions.
The masked woman in a black trench coat, sneaky and suspicious, was thrown off.
Faced with the choice of two paths, she hesitated for a mont before ultimately choosing to follow Ning Yichu.
But sohow, as she followed—
She found herself in a crowded aisle surrounded by shoppers chatting loudly as they pushed their carts. Ning Yichu was nowhere to be seen…
Where had she gone?
How, in the blink of an eye, had she disappeared!!
The black-clad woman furrowed her brows, confused, and began searching ahead. Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded coldly behind her.
“Excuse , are you looking for ?”
Her heart skipped a beat. The black-clad woman stiffened and turned her head, only to et Ning Yichu’s frosty face.
Uh-oh, she had been discovered…
Panic flashed in the woman’s eyes, and she instinctively turned to run.
But Chen Bao and a group of people erged from another side. “Uncle bodyguard, it’s her! She’s been following Mommy and !”
Worried for their safety, Mo Baiyou had secretly sent bodyguards to protect the mother and son.
Several tall, burly bodyguards surrounded the black-clad woman completely, leaving her no chance to escape.
The woman had thought she had been careful, but unexpectedly, she had still been discovered!
She tightly clutched her mask, refusing to let the bodyguards remove it. However, from the faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, one could see she was in her forties. Her gaze was soft, though her expression was tense and awkward.
“Who sent you? Why are you following us?”
Ning Yichu stepped forward, narrowing her eyes as she demanded answers.
For so reason, she couldn’t shake the feeling that this woman seed oddly familiar…
“I…” The woman’s palms were slick with sweat, unsure of how to explain herself. “I an no harm to you!”
Intentions were not proven rely by words!
Ning Yichu pressed further, “Who ordered you to follow ?”
“Well…”
Ning Yichu’s tone grew threatening, “Not talking? Then I’ll send you straight to the police station!”
The bodyguards acknowledged and prepared to act.
The black-clad woman stepped backward repeatedly, her mind filled with anxiety.
If push ca to shove, she’d have to reveal her true identity…
“Wait.”
At that mont, a familiar and deep male voice echoed from not far away.
Ning Yichu and Chen Bao were startled and turned to look. Mo Baiyou was rushing toward them with his team.
Hope glead in the black-clad woman’s eyes like she had seen her savior, her expression turning excited.
But seconds later, she seed to rember sothing, growing uneasy with guilt…
“Mr. Mo, why are you here?” Ning Yichu asked in surprise, looking at him. Wasn’t he supposed to be handling branch office matters?
“Chu Chu…”
Mo Baiyou looked at her with a complicated expression, seemingly unsure of how to explain the situation. “You’ve caught the wrong person.”
Huh?
Ning Yichu was puzzled.
“Uncle Mo, you must be mistaken. This woman followed us all the way here! She won’t tell us her purpose—it’s definitely suspicious!”
Chen Bao initially suspected the woman might’ve been sent by his “deadbeat dad.”
But after capturing her, he felt that soone so conspicuous wouldn’t have been dispatched by soone as crafty as his father.
So, which faction was she from?
Mo Baiyou rubbed his temples, glanced at the guilty-looking black-clad woman, and after a few seconds of silence, finally said slowly, “Actually… this is my mother.”
The air suddenly grew still.
The mont those words were spoken, everyone froze on the spot, their heads filled with black lines.
Ning Yichu and Chen Bao had speculated countless possibilities but had never imagined this one. Their expressions were filled with shock.
Mo Baiyou’s mother… was actually in Reykjavik too!
The bodyguards were equally stunned, quickly releasing their grip.
Shen Zilan had initially wanted to keep a low profile and avoid troubling her son but never thought she’d be exposed so soon, awkward to the point of wanting to vanish into thin air.
She could only shyly smile at Ning Yichu, “Sorry for scaring you all. I… I just wanted to take a look. I didn’t an for things to escalate to this misunderstanding…”
“Not at all!”
Ning Yichu realized she had overreacted and waved her hands apologetically. She had almost sent her to the police station and felt utterly mortified.
“We were presumptuous. Chen Bao, quickly apologize and call her Grandma Mo!”
