"He wants a son," Chen Xueru said painfully. "Even if he marries me, I won't marry him. After all these years, what kind of despicable things has he done to me How could I still love him My son is everything to me. I really don’t know what to do."

Tang Mandong tried to comfort her and stop her from crying. She couldn't help but think that Gu Rui was a truly despicable man. How could there be such an awful person who would treat his woman like this

Chen Xueru's life was even more dramatic than the scripts she performed. One could easily make a blockbuster movie about her.

After experiencing such trauma, if not for her son, she probably wouldn’t have been able to carry on. Being betrayed by her beloved and raped by strangers, falling from the peak of her career to rock bottom, yet content with her situation without striving or fighting back—such a woman was a loss to Gu Rui.

"Xueru姐, don't be hasty," said Wenran. "You have work now and are capable of supporting your family. If you go to court, you won't lose."

"You don’t understand. The Gu family is a traditional aristocratic clan that can navigate both black and white channels, with closer ties in the white channel. There are many people within the family who work in politics. In court, I have no chance of winning at all."

"The lawsuit will be held in America, not A City," Tang Mandong pointed out. "Right now, what matters is whether your son belongs to Gu Rui."

Chen Xueru was stunned and gritted her teeth. "I don't know either."

In her lifetime, she only had one man—Gu Rui—and that one night with a stranger. Based on the timeline, it’s possible that the child could be from the stranger or Gu Rui; she simply did not know.

Now she dared not have Gu Rui and Xiaoni take a paternity test together. If they confirmed the relationship through testing, the Gu family would immediately try to snatch her child away. Yesterday, her in-laws had already called on her to hand over the child.

Chen Xueru was driven to a desperate situation.

Tang Mandong and Ruan Nuan pinched their noses. This issue was quite serious. Tang Mandong suggested, "Why don't you take the child for a paternity test If it turns out he's not the father, then he won’t have any reason to claim custody."

"But what if he is Then I'll lose my child."

Ruan Nuan pursed her lips and looked at the photo of the child. She frowned, "Why does this photo look so familiar to me Have I ever seen your son before"

Tang Mandong took a closer look at the photo. "Let me see... People I've met, how could it be..." Her words trailed off.

Her eyes widened in surprise.

The photo trembled in her hand. "Xueru... Xueru姐, are you sure this is your son"

"Of course he's my son! I have him with me every day." Chen Xueru momentarily forgot about her pain when talking about her son and spoke proudly, "Isn't he very handsome"

"Mandong, what’s wrong"

Tang Mandong muttered to herself, "I thought I saw my brother..."

Her voice was a bit low, and Warm and Chen Xier didn't hear it clearly.

Tang Mandong was stunned; the photo looked exactly like her brother's childhood photos.

"Sis Xier, have you seen that man from that night"

"I was drugged, and I was in a daze. It was also late at midnight when I had to rush out for my life; how could I dare look back" Chen Xier said, feeling very bad about her situation then.

It wasn't an enjoyable experience.

Tang Mandong suppressed her shock and took a photo of the picture with her phone. Chen Xier found this strange, to which Tang Mandong replied: "Your son is very handsome; I'll show it to some people when I get back. Three years ago in America, right Sis Xier, do you remember when exactly it happened"

"It's more than three years ago, February 13th, I remember clearly." That was the day her life was ruined.

Wen Lan liked taking photos, and Tang Shuwen and Mandong had a pile of them since they were little, with each photo book piling up. This child's appearance when he was young was exactly like his father's.

No one would believe if she said it wasn't a big deal.

Chen Xier was still very sad; Warm accompanied her and had two cups of drinks with her, fearing that she might get drunk. Tang Mandong didn't let her drink anymore. The two of them drove her out together after asking Chen Xier where she lived, and Tang Mandong sent her back.

Chen Xier was happy talking about her son on the car ride all along; Tang Mandong raised an eyebrow. Perhaps she really did have a nephew, but... it being just a brief encounter, would her brother like Chen Xier

His brother also plays hard, not much different from Ye Ersao. He changes women as easily as he changes clothes; it's really confusing.

The moment they arrived at the bottom of Chen Xueru’s building, Tang Mandong spotted Gu Rui and immediately parked the car, asking Chen Xueru, "Ms. Xu'er, Gu Rui is downstairs."

Chen Xueru's good mood instantly vanished because of this news. She was about to get out of the car when Tang Mandong held her back, saying, "No no, Ms. Xu'er, don’t act impulsively. How about you stay at my place tonight instead"

After thinking for a moment, even Nuan also thought it wasn't bad. Chen Xueru was afraid she would be too much trouble, but Tang Mandong waved her hand mysteriously and generously saying, "It’s not troublesome at all, I’m very willing to do so. Let's decide this now and first take Nuan home."

On the second day, Nuan still went to the set to film the last two scenes. Chen Xueru had already finished her part and said goodbye to the crew a few days ago; she would also temporarily bid farewell after filming those final scenes today. The remaining parts mainly belonged to Zhuo Bingbing and Chen Hang.

Originally, because of busy promotional activities for the film, Nuan’s scenes were all filmed intensively in a short period of time. Her high work efficiency made it possible for her to finish shooting by December.

Zhuo Bingbing and others still had many more scenes to shoot; it would take until early February to complete filming this TV drama normally, before which there wouldn’t be much promotional activities except dubbing and theme song recordings. She would start promoting the movie after the 2nd of February.

Nuan insisted on doing her own voice dubbing for the film since she did it herself for the movie, and felt pretty good about it. Lin Ning said that her voice was suitable, so she naturally insisted on doing her own dubbing for the TV drama as well.

The director Zhang, who was very meticulous, filmed this final scene for two days straight.

Then, Lin Ning took Nuan and Zhou Chengge to cinemas across A City to host fan meetings. The events were a huge success with crowds everywhere they went.

The film was released on December 24th, which made Nuan very nervous. but slightly surprised.After all, he hadn't appeared for two years. He had always kept in touch with Sen Sen; Mumu didn't know that Mo Chen had been chatting with Sen Sen. He thought that from now on...
