Chapter 1258: 308: Do you believe in reincarnation?
“Alright, ma’am! I’ll go right away!” Old Sun imdiately ran off to report to the police.
Cao Xiaoi was scared out of her wits.
She didn’t want to go to the police station!
She definitely didn’t want to sit in jail!
She was still so young…
“Ma’am, please spare ! I’m begging you!” Cao Xiaoi crawled over and wrapped herself around Grandma Wu’s legs again. “I only did these things because you agreed to them! You can’t dump all the bla on ! You can’t do this…”
At these words, Grandma Wu roared angrily, “You little brat, stop spouting nonsense! I agreed to let you do this? I’ve been dreaming of holding a great-grandson—why would I harm my own grandson’s wife?”
If she had known Shangguan Xi was already pregnant, Grandma Wu definitely wouldn’t have agreed to any surrogate sches.
All of her frustrations stemd from Shangguan Xi not being pregnant.
“If you hadn’t pushed Xiaoxi, would she have ended up like this? It’s all your fault! You cursed wretch! You worthless woman! You almost brought ruin to the Wu Family!”
Grandma Wu was now endlessly relieved that none of the worst had actually happened—if anything truly tragic had befallen Shangguan Xi, she wouldn’t want to keep living either!
“Old Sun! Old Sun, hurry up!” Grandma Wu urged Old Sun to call the police faster.
“Ma’am, please no, please don’t do this…” Cao Xiaoi wailed and sobbed.
Grandma Wu felt no pity for Cao Xiaoi at all. If she could, she’d strangle her on the spot!
If not for Cao Xiaoi’s ddling and scheming, her relationship with Shangguan Xi wouldn’t have turned out like this.
Seeing that Grandma Wu was truly determined to deal with Cao Xiaoi, Chen Qian let out a sigh of relief. At first, she had been genuinely worried that the elderly woman would stubbornly protect Cao Xiaoi and continue to make mistakes.
Now it seed, at least, that the old lady hadn’t lost her sanity to that extent.
As long as Grandma Wu was willing to lower her head and admit her mistakes, sincerely repenting, then this matter would beco much easier to resolve.
The police arrived quickly and took Cao Xiaoi away.
Chen Qian and Grandma Wu, as witnesses, also accompanied them to the police station.
Afterward, the police stopped by the hospital.
After all, Shangguan Xi was the victim, and they needed her to confirm so things.
Shangguan Xi’s emotions were relatively calm as she recounted the events to the officers. After completing her statent, the police left.
Grandma Wu collapsed in tears at Shangguan Xi’s bedside, “Xiaoxi, I was wrong. Grandma is apologizing to you now. Please, as long as you can forgive , Grandma is willing to do anything…”
“Good child! Please forgive Grandma, I’m begging you.”
Shangguan Xi still found it hard to face Grandma Wu. Every ti she saw her, the elder’s face brought back mories of those unbearable conversations with Cao Xiaoi.
But looking at Grandma Wu now, with tears streaming down her wrinkled face, she suddenly felt a flicker of compassion.
“Please stand up first,” Shangguan Xi said. No matter what, she was still younger, and she shouldn’t let a ninety-four-year-old elder remain like this.
Moreover, Wu Zhihao and Chen Qian had always treated her well, like their own daughter. She couldn’t make things difficult for them either.
Grandma Wu wiped her tears as she rose from the floor, “Xiaoxi, please don’t be angry anymore, alright? Every mistake was mine! It’s all my fault! I was utterly foolish. I’m willing to take responsibility for my actions!”
Grandma Wu truly realized her wrongs now.
She shouldn’t have acted that way before…
As long as Shangguan Xi was willing to forgive her, she would treat Shangguan Xi like a Bodhisattva, worship her wholeheartedly.
Whatever Shangguan Xi asked of her, she’d do it without hesitation.
“Let ask you a question.” Shangguan Xi turned to look at Grandma Wu.
“Xiaoxi, go ahead!”
Shangguan Xi continued, “I’m sure you know by now that I’m pregnant. The doctor just told earlier that I’m carrying twin girls. Would you like having two great-granddaughters?”
The embryos were only four weeks old!
How could it be possible to determine their gender?
Shangguan Xi deliberately said this to test Grandma Wu’s attitude. She couldn’t bear to experience another similar situation again.
“It doesn’t matter if they’re boys or girls! Xiaoxi! Grandma isn’t the type to favor sons over daughters! I would love great-granddaughters just the sa!” Grandma Wu added, “Xiaoxi, if you don’t believe , I can write a guarantee! I can swear to the heavens! If I ever value boys over girls, may I die a horrible death! May I be torn apart!”
In truth, Grandma Wu had never held such beliefs about favoring boys over girls—not even from the very beginning.
She just wanted to hold a great-grandchild, and that was enough.
