Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 2316 - 2320: Shifting the Blame

Wan Chong’s stepmother was stunned.

Gu Junzhu’s words replayed in her mind over and over again.

Gu Junzhu’s noble identity made her subconsciously want to believe his words.

But if what Gu Junzhu said was true, then she had indeed been deceived by her friend.

She was carrying a son, not a daughter!

The seed of doubt was planted in her heart, and the scenes she had previously ignored suddenly became clear in her mind.

Every time her friend performed an ultrasound for her and told her the results, she would either lower her head to pack things or write and draw on the medical record, never daring to face her.

Was it because she was carrying a son, her friend lied to her saying it was a daughter, and her friend couldn’t meet her eyes for fear she’d see through the lie?

Moreover, she trusted her friend.

From beginning to end, she only had three ultrasounds at her friend’s place, never at another hospital.

Afraid of leaks, every time she did an ultrasound, she allowed only her friend to be present and asked her friend to keep it a secret.

If her friend deliberately deceived her, it would be easy to manipulate.

What Gu Junzhu just said was entirely possible.

Still, she didn’t understand why her friend would intentionally deceive her?

They’d known each other since they were young and were the best of friends.

No.

Impossible.

She didn’t believe it.

Gu Junzhu must have been mistaken!

She didn’t dare to believe Gu Junzhu’s words.

Because if she believed what Gu Junzhu said, it would mean that her stupidity caused her to lose the son she had struggled so hard to conceive.

She was already old, she had taken many medications, and it had taken a long time to adjust her body to conceive her third child.

It would be very difficult to conceive a fourth time in the future.

Moreover, she had already had an abortion.

Even her friend told her that abortion is harmful to the body, and her hopes of another pregnancy are slim.

If that was the case, the only son she might ever have in her lifetime was carelessly lost by her own doing.

She couldn’t accept such a result!

She shook her head repeatedly: “No, you’re wrong. My friend didn’t lie to me. My friend always told me I was carrying a son. I was carrying a son!”

Wan Chong said coldly, “There’s no use in talking further. Get your friend here and confront her!”

“Wan Chong, what kind of scheme are you plotting again?” Wan Chong’s stepmother glared at Wan Chong, her eyes bloodshot: “You’ve already caused the miscarriage of the child in my womb, and you’re still not satisfied. What more do you want?”

“You know what I want,” Wan Chong said, “If you thought you were carrying a daughter but announced to everyone it was a son, anyone with sense would know exactly why the child in your belly was lost!”

“No, you’re lying!” Wan Chong’s stepmother’s face turned crimson with anger, her whole body trembling: “I was carrying a son! You feared that I would give birth to a son and compete with you for the inheritance, so you deliberately pushed me down the stairs, causing me to lose my child…”

Saying this, her tears burst forth uncontrollably.

Although she wanted a son and not a daughter, that fetus had been in her womb for five months, and she had already developed feelings for it.

Thinking of the little life in her womb, lost before it could even come into the world, her heart ached terribly.

When that small life slipped away from her body, it was as if a knife twisted in her heart.

If it weren’t for Wan Chong, why would she have had to sacrifice that child?

It was all Wan Chong’s fault!

She glared at Wan Chong fiercely, her eyes blood-red, tears streaming like a fountain.
