I wasn't there for you when you gave birth!

Liu Liqi cried and said so much. While Lan Qingyue was moved, she also caught an important sentence: So, the child in the original owner's belly was born?

What about the child?

If the child is still alive, why would she and Chu Xiao go to an orphanage to adopt one?

Could it be that the child died shortly after birth?

Lan Qingyue's mind was a jumbled mess, with many things flashing by like tiny dots, too fast for her to grasp.

Before she could think any further, her phone rang. It was Chu Ying calling. As soon as she answered, she quickly said, "Sister-in-law, are you home? Uncle Meng and I are coming to pick you up now. Mom and Dad saw the news, and they said it needs to be resolved immediately."

As expected, she found out. At this moment, Lan Qingyue's mind went blank. She was occupying the original owner's identity and originally wanted to complete the mission and go home directly, but she had put three-year-old Chu Chu in the eye of the storm. The Chu family elders must be very angry.

Lan Qingyue was bewildered for a moment before replying, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

The hatred level was still rising, faster and faster, and had already exceeded one thousand. Lan Qingyue didn't know where it came from, but at this rate, she would be able to go home soon, but she couldn't be happy.

Chu Ying arrived quickly. After Lan Qingyue got into the car, it drove away. Chu Ying said to Lan Qingyue in the car, "Sister-in-law, Mom and Dad are quite angry this time. They didn't want Chu Chu to live under the spotlight too early, but now she's trending on social media with you, and as an 'illegitimate child'. Sister-in-law, I have a question for you, but please don't be angry."

Perhaps it was her strong sixth sense, but Lan Qingyue knew what Chu Ying wanted to ask. She placed one hand on the back of Chu Ying's hand and patted it gently, saying softly, "Chu Ying, that person is Qi Yu, my boss. That day, I brought Chu Chu out to take pictures of matching family outfits. When Chu Chu was playing alone, she was bumped into by an ignorant child. The child said that Chu Chu didn't have a father, and Chu Chu got angry. President Qi happened to appear and helped her out. Later, we had a meal together, and that's all."

Lan Qingyue kept these things a secret, but if the Chu family elders wanted to know, they could easily find out. Rather than letting them investigate, it was better to tell them the truth on her own initiative.

Lan Qingyue's words were quite tactful, but Chu Ying guessed that their verbal attacks were definitely much worse than Lan Qingyue's. She angrily pounded the soft chair and said, "Whose child is this, so ill-mannered?"

Lan Qingyue remained silent.

The car arrived smoothly in front of a tall building that soared into the clouds, displaying its magnificence and domineering presence. Lan Qingyue got out of the car and looked up, and was immediately struck by the words "Chu Group". She vaguely guessed what was going on in her mind.

Chu Ying said, "Sister-in-law, Mom and Dad are inside. Let's go, I'll take you there."

Although Chu Ying was only sixteen years old, her noble temperament was ingrained in her bones and could not be imitated. The security guard at the gate recognized this young lady and did not stop her or Lan Qingyue.

It was during working hours when Chu Ying suddenly brought a woman over. This woman was someone who made headlines every few days, and everyone recognized her at a glance and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Chu Ying led Lan Qingyue in the elevator directly to the sixteenth floor, and Lan Qingyue did not ask any questions.

The atmosphere on the sixteenth floor seemed a little different. Chu Ying pushed open the conference room door, and the flashes of light instantly dazzled everyone.
