Chapter 453: Chapter 453: Whose Child Is It After All?

Lin Anqi kept persuading me.

I knew Lin Anqi was absolutely well-intentioned, but I didn’t want to, and couldn’t accept it.

Just after the standoff, suddenly Mother Ding’s figure appeared at the doorway of the hospital room.

“Ah, Xiaoyun, you’re here!”

“Auntie, how come you’re here?”

“I’ve been asking around, and it took me half a day to find out you were hospitalized here. Ah, Yinuo is such a child, so tight-lipped, she didn’t let slip a word to me.”

She began to open the thermos she brought with her, which contained stewed chicken soup.

“Xiaoyun, this is what I stewed for you, to nourish your body.”

“Auntie! Uh… there’s no need to trouble yourself in the future, I can just eat anything, really.”

“How could that be possible, you are carrying the Ding Family’s flesh and blood. I can’t neglect you. Don’t think of it as trouble, it’s really not, I’m free anyway, and making something for you to eat, I consider it combining work with leisure.”

Mother Ding was very patient; she not only prepared chicken soup but also brought a lot of fresh fruit.

All were washed clean, and even cut and placed into disposable lunch boxes.

She took them out one by one, laying them out on the table.

“This box is strawberries, this one cherries, there are also blueberries, eat these for now… I’ll bring you a different variety tomorrow. Try to finish them if you can, and if not, it’s fine, I’ll bring fresh ones tomorrow. If they spoil, don’t eat them, okay?”

Mother Ding even carefully labeled each box of fruit with the time it was cut, afraid I’d eat something that had gone bad.

This level of care and consideration might only come from one’s own mother.

I was very moved looking at it.

In fact, I also felt guilty, because the child was neither Ding Yinuo’s nor the Ding Family’s seed.

I really didn’t deserve this affection.

“Auntie, there’s really no need for this.”

“Silly child, why don’t you understand! I’m showing love for my grandson.”

“No, that’s not it…”

I was about to explain things clearly to her.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yuanzhou inopportunely interrupted,

“A grandmother loving her grandson is only natural, how can you say he isn’t someone else’s grandson?”

I looked up and met Gu Yuanzhou’s mocking gaze, the words that were on the tip of my tongue, I swallowed back down again.

Turning around, I found that Lin Anqi, as well as Ding Yinuo, were standing nearby, everyone was looking at me, seemingly waiting for me to deliver the final authoritative answer.

I looked at Gu Yuanzhou again.

The man’s eyes were full of triumphant light.

A wave of annoyance rose in me,

“Sir, this is my family matter, does it concern you?”

“How can you say it doesn’t concern me, we are family.”

Gu Yuanzhou seemed calm, yet his words were laden with deeper meaning.

I hadn’t spoken yet when Lin Anqi chimed in, holding my hand and saying,

“Yes, sister, we are family. Your matters are our matters, and we will help with any difficulties you face, we are family.”

These words seemed as though Lin Anqi was smoothing things over for Gu Yuanzhou.

She seemed very sensible.

For a moment, I didn’t know what to say.

After Lin Anqi finished speaking, she got up to address Mother Ding,
