Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 1179

Chapter 1179: Telling Su Bing

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Really, if anyone was to blame, it was that irresponsible scoundrel Xu Ye—the same Xu Ye who let Su Mo bear not one, not two, but three children for him and then vanished like mist.

Perhaps he had been a good soldier. Perhaps he had served his country with honor and accolades. But none of that could erase the undeniable truth: he was a terrible man and an even worse father.

Gu Zi had agreed to let the children attend Xu Sheng’s birthday celebration for two reasons. First, because Xu Sheng himself was innocent in all of this. And second—though she’d never admit it aloud—because she was curious. Curious to see what kind of family the illustrious Xu clan really was.

But now that she had seen it all with her own eyes, she only felt a deeper, heavier ache for Su Mo. This sprawling mansion—so vast it had corridors that echoed with every footstep—wasn’t big enough for Su Mo and her three children?

Xu Ye had slipped away in secret, returning to the capital to resume his life of ease and privilege, likely without a single thought of ever going back for Su Mo or the children he left behind. The sheer audacity of it.

Gu Zi didn’t want to dwell on it any longer. She dabbed away a tear that had escaped the corner of her eye and went off to find Su Le, who had just devoured a mini cupcake and had cream smudged along her cheeks and the corners of her mouth. With practiced care, Gu Zi wiped her clean and then led her off to wash her hands.

Yu Fang returned with drinks and caught sight of this quiet scene—and immediately felt a twinge of guilt.

She had been the one to ask her second son, Xu Fan, to retrieve the children once he had tracked them down. In her heart, she had truly believed that the children must have suffered terribly all this time—raised by an uncle and aunt instead of their biological family. Surely, no one could care for them as deeply as their real grandmother and uncle would.

But these past few days had changed her. She had seen it for herself: how responsible Gu Zi and Su Shen were. Not only had they taken the three children in, but they had raised them with extraordinary love and care. The children were polite, happy, and so well-behaved—it was impossible not to see that they were thriving. It was no wonder Xu Fan had refused to bring them back.

Yu Fang could tell. These children were truly happy in that little household.

She had once been so determined to see the children "return to their roots," to be officially recognized by the Xu family. She hadn’t considered anything beyond that.

But now, in hindsight, she could see how deeply the Xu family had failed them. If the truth about their parentage ever came to light, she wasn’t so sure the children would forgive them. Su Shen and Gu Zi might never allow the Xu family near the kids again.

So maybe this—this quiet, unspoken understanding—was best. She could still show love to her grandchildren, even if she never claimed them. Whatever Xu Sheng had, she would make sure the other three had it too. She would move heaven and earth, if she had to.

After the meal and sweets were done, Xu Sheng enthusiastically led the group up to the third floor for a "grand tour."

As they walked, he gestured animatedly, "This is my grandfather’s private gallery. All these paintings are his prized collection—very expensive. That one over there, he bought overseas many years ago. Cost him a small fortune!"

Su Li, eyes flitting from painting to sculpture, asked curiously, "Where is your grandfather today? We haven’t seen him at all."
