Rong Sheng's expression was serious and somewhat solemn.

"Rong Zhan, don't talk nonsense. Zhou Kaiyun is also a shareholder of the Rong Group. She wouldn't disregard the interests of the Rong Group. Anonymous letters are suspicious, don't believe them easily."

Rong Zhan was a little displeased and said, "Dad, we can't let our guard down!"

"You can just tell me about this, but don't spread rumors outside. I understand, I'll handle it, don't interfere."

Rong Zhan remained silent, harboring resentment.

Since Zhou Kaiyun returned, her fame seems to have overshadowed everyone else in the Rong Group.

It seems that everything revolves around her.

Especially those shareholders, they go to her all day to flatter her, it all seems so hypocritical.

I hope Dad knows what he's doing.

...

Yang Lijuan waited for her son.

Seeing him come out of the study, I asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your dad?"

"Mom, no."

"You still deny it? I can tell you're just holding back your anger. Talk to me and see if I can help. Maybe I can talk to your dad."

After hesitating for a moment, Rong Zhan spoke.

"Mom, does Dad still love that woman? Since I was little, I've heard you two arguing, and it's always about that woman."

Yang Lijuan knew that the woman her son was referring to was Zhou Kaiyun.

She also knew why her son was angry.

Because the anonymous letter was given to him by her.

She wanted to use her son to report to Rong Sheng.

She couldn't confront Zhou Kaiyun directly, but Rong Sheng could; perhaps he could find out the truth.

“Your father and I are doing fine. That woman is in the past. Son, don’t take it to heart.”

“That woman is back, and I feel like Dad is constantly out of his mind. They’re colluding with outsiders to deal with us, but they don’t seem to care. I don’t know what to say.”

"Don't be angry. I'll talk to your dad in a bit and persuade him to face the issue. Son, don't worry too much. I'll be with you and protect the Rong family for you."

"You talk to him, I'm going to calm down."

"Um!"

...

Watching her son leave, Yang Lijuan secretly smiled.

Then she went into the study.

Yang Lijuan walked behind Rong Sheng and massaged his shoulders.

"My son looked unhappy and said a few words to me."

Rong Sheng was displeased, his face cold and stern. "He's still not mature and steady enough; he needs more training."

"Kaiyun is back. Is everything really alright at Rong's Group? Honey, you've seemed quite preoccupied lately."

"I'm fine, everything's great!"

"Your son's concerns are not without merit. After all, people's hearts are hard to fathom. Why don't you talk to Kaiyun tomorrow? Once things are clear, everyone will feel at ease. Mutual suspicion can't last long."

"Alright, I understand. I'll talk to Kaiyun tomorrow. I never believed she would betray the Rong Group. You're all overthinking it, and you shouldn't make wild guesses."

"I don't want anything else, I just want to be the woman behind you. It's just our son, I think he's being too sensitive."

"Being vigilant is the right thing to do, but don't let others lead you by the nose."

As he spoke, Rong Sheng turned around and met Yang Lijuan's gaze.

Yang Lijuan remained calm, nodded slightly, and added, "You're right. I'm just a woman with limited understanding. But I hope things go well for you and your children. I have no other requests."

Rong Sheng remained silent and closed his eyes.

Yang Lijuan continued to massage his shoulders.

******

It's quite late, but Qiao Chu is still awake.

It's like sitting there, lost in thought.

Jiang Zhi got into bed and pulled her into his arms.

"Honey, don't overthink things. I'll always be there for you."

"I'm not overthinking anything, I just find some things so amazing, I'm truly, truly lucky. But I'm also worried that I'll use up all my luck now, and then what will I do?"

"I'll share my luck with you."

Qiao Chu smiled and nestled in Jiang Zhi's arms.

"Honey, I know you're very good to me. I have a biological father and mother now. Before, I really couldn't believe it. Now, I understand. I realize that I have an indescribable feeling for Zhou Kaiyun's works, and I feel an instant connection with her. I realize that we were once so close, and that she is my mother."

"It'll be fine in a few days, once everyone gets to know each other better. I understand your current dilemma."

"I don't want to hurt anyone, and I treat them all the same as before."

"Everyone will understand you and won't make things difficult for you. You have two parents, which is wonderful. I envy you."

“My parents are your parents too, and they will love you too.” As she spoke, Qiao Chu held Jiang Zhi’s hand.

Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "A son-in-law is also a son!"

Qiao Chu smiled too, "Actually, Mom and Dad both side with you."

"Hmm? Are you going to complain?"

"I wasn't jealous. I was just stating a fact. The more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes."

Jiang Zhi's smile deepened. "I'm very happy to receive your recognition."

“My husband is amazing and very important to me. I love you, and in the future, our babies will love you too.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Chu kissed Jiang Zhi.

In that instant, Jiang Zhi deepened the kiss.

After the meeting, Rong Sheng invited Zhou Kaiyun to his office.

Rong Sheng cut to the chase: "Someone told me that you've been getting too close to people from the Dongyang Group lately. This is your private matter, and I shouldn't be asking about it, but since they've come to me, I need to find out what's going on. Kaiyun, I don't mean anything by it."

No other meaning?

Isn't that a bit funny?

With a cold laugh, Zhou Kaiyun said, "Recently, I've been in close contact with people from Dongyang Group, and I'll be even closer in the future. Work is work, and personal matters are personal matters; I keep them very separate. Perhaps, heaven has taken pity on Siyuan and me, and a miracle has occurred. We've found Yaoyao, who is Qiao Chu."

"Qiao Chu is Yao Yao?" Rong Sheng was shocked, his face filled with astonishment.

"Yes, she is Yao Yao. My daughter is very outstanding, and I am very happy."

"Are you sure?"

"The DNA test has been done, and it's confirmed."

After a few seconds of hesitation, Rong Sheng said, "Congratulations! It's good that you found the person!"

"You don't suspect me of colluding with people from the Dongyang Group, do you?"

“Kaiyun, what are you thinking? I didn’t think that at all! I didn’t expect Qiao Chu to be Yao Yao. Actually, I quite like this girl, I admire her and respect her.”

"..."

Zhou Kaiyun remained silent, and Rong Sheng continued, "Let's have dinner together another day. I'd like to formally get to know Qiao Chu. After all, I'm her uncle."

“Recently, we’ve both been busy preparing for Fashion Week. Let’s schedule another time next month after Fashion Week is over.”

"good!"

...

After Zhou Kaiyun left, Rong Sheng's expression suddenly turned somewhat gloomy.

He never imagined that Qiao Chu was actually Kai Yun and Shen Siyuan's daughter.

His initial suspicions turned out to be true!
