Chapter 1512 - 1524: Where Did CEO Daddy Go? (15)
There’s no wall in the world that doesn’t let through some wind.
The Mu Family orchestrated such a grand paternity test ceremony, it’s impossible to keep it low-key.
This mainly relates to the basic popular sentiments of Hua Country.
Once a citizen initiates a paternity test with their child, a notary agency will supervise simultaneously. The main reason is to ensure the maximum protection of the legal rights of new offspring.
Moreover, to prevent some people from taking advantage, the notarized results will be publicly announced instantly.
Therefore, when the Mu Family went ahead without hesitation and conducted a paternity test, it was tantamount to openly putting the original owner on stage for public execution, without even a fig leaf.
It’s not that illegitimate children don’t exist in Hua Country, but most people wouldn’t make such an ostentatious claim.
Not only is it embarrassing, but those who are married also have to pay Empire a hefty penalty fee.
As soon as the Mu Family housekeeper scheduled the paternity test for the next day, the sensational news was quickly known by many.
-----------
Bai Lu Yue felt like she was dreaming, no, even more beautiful than a dream.
She had imagined such a scenario many times before. But it was just an imagination.
Her greatest hope was merely for the children to be recognized by the Mu Family and have a bright future. As their biological mother, as long as the children remember her, she naturally wouldn’t be lacking in the future.
But reality was more exciting than she imagined.
Bai Lu Yue’s eyelashes brimmed with tears, her hands clutched tightly together, as she nervously confirmed with the middle-aged man in a black suit: "Is the Mu Family really going to have a paternity test notarized for my kids?"
The Mu Family housekeeper nodded subtly, "Lady Bai, you heard correctly, it’s true. Our young master personally instructed it."
"Ah, it’s President Mu...." Bai Lu Yue softly gasped.
However, she quickly sensed the man’s emotional fluctuations, realizing her attitude was overly excited, she lowered her head slightly to restrain her feelings, showcasing her vulnerability.
She protected the children, taking a few steps back, warily saying: "How come.... the children are just mine, they have nothing to do with the Mu Family... President Mu...."
The children seemed alerted by their mother’s actions, baring their teeth like little wolf cubs toward Housekeeper Mu, appearing fierce.
"Don’t bully Mom."
"We’re not going for any paternity test."
"We only have Mom as our family. Everyone else is stinky scum, unworthy of us."
.....
The children’s words, one after another in defense, made Bai Lu Yue proud and happy.
Indeed, the children were closest only to her.
Bai Lu Yue: "Alright, you shouldn’t be so rude."
The teaching words had no strength, and the children were even more unreserved in attacking those who upset their mom.
Housekeeper Mu: "Pardon my frankness, Lady Bai, you’re not very good at educating children."
It was essentially saying they were uncultured; even with such shallow implications, Bai Lu Yue could hear it.
Before she got angry, Housekeeper Mu directly said, "The master, madam, and the young master all prefer well-mannered children."
Bai Lu Yue’s initial angry retort deflated like a punctured ball, her face showed slight panic.
Housekeeper Mu conveyed the message and had no intention to linger. Ignoring Bai Lu Yue’s hesitant expression, he directly left, not worrying at all whether she would bring the children to the Mu Mansion tomorrow.
Lady Bai’s mind was indeed shallow; she could only fool her own little kids.
Sure enough, she herself knew the children were Mu Family’s offspring.
It’s no wonder she thought of exposing the news only when the children were five years old.
Five-year-old children are most attached to their mothers, and are beginning to understand the world.
If the Mu Family knew Lady Bai was pregnant from the start, or when she gave birth, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to keep the children.
In Hua Country, when children are disputed, they would surely be placed with the more privileged party.
Compared to the Mu Family, Bai Lu Yue had no competitiveness.
It’s no wonder she deliberated so much, indeed pursuing substantial gain.
To Housekeeper Mu, this was not unusual anymore. Young ladies like Lady Bai were not uncommon in the upper circles.
However, unlike those girls, Bai Lu Yue was very fertile, extremely fertile.
Quintuplets at one birth, what great fortune indeed.
Bai Lu Yue was entirely unaware of Housekeeper Mu’s internal turmoil. As soon as Housekeeper Mu left, Bai Lu Yue began busying herself.
Cleaned, neatly ironed clothes were organized and placed aside by her, ready to be worn the next day.
While she busied herself, several children couldn’t sit still, running around her.
The youngest girl, Jiaojiao, leaned against the eldest, Bai Wenyan, pouting unhappily: "Mom, are we wearing these clothes tomorrow? But I want to wear a beautiful princess dress, the one newly bought."
As soon as the little girl spoke, the other kids echoed: "I don’t like wearing old clothes either, Mom why have you been making us wear old clothes lately. I want to wear a little suit, with a little tie, it looks grand."
Hounded by the children’s noise, Bai Lu Yue softly said: "Don’t make a fuss."
Although her tone was calm, the eldest and second child still sensitively noticed their mom’s impatience.
The two quickly restricted the younger siblings: "Brother will take you to play elsewhere, don’t bother Mom."
The children were born only minutes apart but were vastly different in disposition.
The eldest and second, both boys, appeared much more mature than their younger siblings, like little adults.
While Bai Lu Yue made preparations, in many corners of the city, others were also preparing.
----------
"Yali, have you really made up your mind?"
An elderly couple worriedly spoke to the beautiful young woman.
Beside the young woman stood a five-year-old boy, well-fed and cherubic.
Liao Yali nodded, "I’ve made up my mind."
"Originally I just wanted to leave my husband an heir, to keep the family business going, but never thought...."
"It’s our fault...." The elderly couple wept bitterly, "If we weren’t useless, there wouldn’t be a reason to send Little Treasure away."
Though not related by blood, ever since their son passed away, they treated their daughter-in-law like their own daughter, and regarded her child as their biological grandson.
After five years living together, the thought of parting was heartbreaking for the old couple.
Yali couldn’t stand seeing her in-laws upset, smiled and comforted: "Dad, Mom, think positively. If Little Treasure can really return to the Mu Family, with the status of a Mu Family child, those people wouldn’t covet our small business. Plus, the assets of the Mu Family would include Little Treasure’s share, which far exceeds the small family run we have."
