After a secret marriage, I became the biological mother of a rich and cute baby

Gu Jinlan followed Xia Nian's gaze and looked at Shi Ye.

Shi Ye lowered his head and was applying ice cream to Gu Jinlan seriously. He was not interested in the women's idle chatter.

When I noticed that the room suddenly became quiet, I realized that something seemed to be wrong.

In a blink of an eye, he saw Shanian looking at him with complicated eyes.

When he looked up again, Gu Jinlan was also looking at him with strange eyes.

"What are you looking at me for?" He frowned, "What does it have to do with me?"

Gu Jinlan raised her eyebrows slightly, "It has nothing to do with you, why are you so anxious?"

Shi Ye stood up suddenly and said, "You are the ones who are looking at me with strange eyes."

The way they looked at him...it was as if he was the father of Shanian's child.

Seeing that he looked anxious, Gu Jinlan suppressed her laughter and asked teasingly, "Are you feeling guilty?"

Although Xia Nian's reaction made her confused, she believed that Shi Ye definitely had nothing to do with Xia Nian's child.

I just think Shi Ye’s anxious look is very funny.

"Master Ten." Xia Ni'an said.

Hearing the voice, Gu Jinlan was shocked and the smile on the corner of his lips froze.

She was very sure that she had been calling him "Aye" ever since Shi Ye found her.

How did Xia Ni'an know the name of Shi Ye?

Now Gu Jinlan couldn’t laugh anymore.

Shi Ye was also surprised, "Do you know me?"

He has never shown his face in the media, and even if Shanian likes to follow financial news, she has never seen him.

At this moment, Shi Ye was brainstorming frantically, recalling the women he had come into contact with in the past.

Apart from that night five years ago, he had no recollection of having had any ambiguous relationships with any other women besides Gu Jinlan.

Xia Ni'an smiled faintly, "Come to think of it, we are somewhat related. We met once a few years ago."

Shi Ye let out a long sigh of relief, finally feeling relieved.

This means that he and Shanian have never had an ambiguous relationship.

But the Shi family has too many distant relatives.

It's normal that he doesn't recognize him.

Xia Nian said: "Your cousin Fan Wen is my ex-husband's biological sister. You attended our wedding a few years ago. I remember you."

It was Fan Wen who invited Shi Ye to attend their wedding.

Although the Tenth Master only came briefly to deal with the matter and then left.

But a man as outstanding as him has a strong presence in the crowd.

Anyone who has met him will find it hard to forget him.

Gu Jinlan glanced at Shi Ye in surprise, "Fan Wen?"

She was deeply impressed by Fan Wen.

The first time Shi Ye took her back to the Shi family's old house for a family dinner, Fan Wen had a conflict with her.

The cause was that Fan Wen’s son Liangliang wanted to snatch Ranran’s lollipop, and he fell down and started crying. Fan Wen blamed Ranran for bullying Liangliang without any reason.

Relying on her father's position as an official in the imperial capital, Fan Wen is the most arrogant among the Shi family's granddaughters-in-law.

At that time, Fan Wen looked down on her, saying that she was an outsider and had no right to speak in the Shi family.

In order to protect her, Shi Ye told the Shi family that they were married.

Later, when she learned that her grandmother wanted to make her the future mistress of the family, Fan Wen became even more hostile to her.

Every time they met at the old house when she returned home, Fan Wen was never in a good mood towards her.

Shi Ye asked Xia Nian: "So the father of your child is Fan Lang?"

He remembered that he had attended Fan Lang's wedding, but he had no impression of what the bride looked like, not even her name.

Xia Ni'an suddenly took a step back and looked at Gu Jinlan and Shi Ye warily:

"Did Fan Lang ask you to come to me?"

A sneer slid across Shi Ye's lips, "You think too highly of him."

Xia Ni'an looked confused, "But what a coincidence... How come you are here?"

Gu Jinlan said: "It's a coincidence indeed. Have you heard of the 'Six Degrees of Separation Theory'?"

Xia Nian looked at Gu Jinlan in confusion.

Gu Jinlan explained: "Psychologist Milgram once derived the 'Six Degrees of Separation Theory', also known as the 'Small World Effect', through experiments.

This roughly means that any connection between two people only requires six intermediaries at most.

So it is not an inexplicable coincidence that we meet in this remote mountainous area today.

I have never even met Fan Lang, and I have nothing to do with him. Don't worry, we won't hurt you."

Looking at Gu Jinlan's sincere eyes, Xia Nian relaxed, "I'm sorry, I left the Fan family secretly back then. I lived in this deep mountain because I didn't want the Fan family to know that I came to find my child."

Gu Jinlan frowned and asked, "The child was stolen. Doesn't Fan Lang want to find him back?"

Xia Ni'an gritted her teeth and said, "My child... was sold by Fan Lang and his mistress!"

"What?" Gu Jinlan couldn't believe it, and a fire surged in his heart.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so how could Fan Lang be willing to sell his own child?

Shi Ye also found it incredible, "Is there some misunderstanding? The Fan family is not short of money from selling children."

Xia Ni'an's eyes turned red, and her voice trembled slightly: "It's not about money, it's that his mistress doesn't want my child to exist."

Shi Ye frowned, he couldn't understand such vicious behavior.

When Shu Yi sent Ranran to him, he knew that Ranran's existence was the result of a plot against him.

But he still loves Ranran.

Now Shu Yi's appearance also disgusted him.

But he would not hate his own child because of Shu Yi's existence.

After all, they are their own flesh and blood.

Gu Jinlan asked Shi Ye, "Are you familiar with the Fan family?"

Shi Ye shook his head, "No contact."

Gu Jinlan looked at Xia Nian with heartache again.

I saw her pinching the base of her other hand with one hand, her tearful eyes filled with overwhelming hatred.

"No wonder you say that once a woman gives her heart to a man, she will end up in an irreparable situation." Gu Jinlan couldn't help but sigh.

She had never been hurt like this by a man, but she and Shanian were both mothers and could understand the despair and pain in Shanian's heart.

Shanian loosened her tightly bitten lips, and a trace of blood was faintly visible on her lips.

"My parents were against my marrying Fan Lang back then. I broke up with my family for him and married him without hesitation. But he took advantage of me..."

Thinking of the past, Xia Ni'an couldn't stop shaking all over.

Gu Jinlan quickly comforted him, "Don't think about the sad past. You've been looking for your child for so many years. Do you have any clues? Tell me, what characteristics or birthmarks does your child have? Maybe I can help you find him."

Hearing this, Shi Ye glanced at Gu Jinlan.

She hasn’t found her own child yet, and yet she’s thinking about helping others find their children?

She usually looks so cold, as if she loves no one but herself.

I didn't expect that beneath her cold appearance, she had a warm heart.

Shanian was surprised, "Do you really want to help me?"

Gu Jinlan nodded and said, "Actually, we came to the southwest this time to find a child. Our destination is Wangjia Village."

"Wang...Wangjia Village?!" A trace of panic appeared in Xia Ni'an's eyes. "You are going to Wangjia Village tomorrow? Just the two of you?"
