Chapter 157 Illegitimate child?

"You still ask me how he died?"

When Zheng's mother heard this, she became even more agitated.

She replied angrily with tears in her eyes: "Why are you pretending to be confused? Don't you know it clearly?"

"The police said it was suicide, but I know my son best. He was so cheerful and optimistic. How could he have been so depressed and committed suicide?"

"Who else but your Jiang family would want my son dead?"

Mother Zheng's voice trembled slightly with anger and grief, and she glared at Jiang Tao with resentment in her eyes.

Su Qian, who was in the small storage room, narrowed his eyes slightly.

What a big melon!

He didn't expect that Zheng Cheng was actually the illegitimate son of the Jiang family.

Moreover, Jiang Tao did not seem to be too sad. It seemed that this illegitimate child had never been truly accepted by Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Don't talk nonsense, how is this matter related to the Jiang family?

He quickly defended himself, "I admit that I'm sad about Cheng'er's accident. The police have already ruled it a suicide."

Jiang Tao calmed Zheng's mother down.

"Shufen, I admit that I haven't cared enough about you and your son over the years. I owe you."

Jiang Tao looked at Zheng's mother seriously, "Don't worry, even though Cheng'er is gone, I will still make it up to you."

"If you really feel that you owe us, then you can take me back now, let me live in the Jiang family, and give me a legitimate status. That would be considered doing justice to Cheng Er."

But Zheng's mother didn't buy it at all.

With red and swollen eyes, he angrily said: "Otherwise, what you said is all empty talk, I won't believe a single word!"

Jiang Tao's face instantly became extremely embarrassed.

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Shufen, you..."

After a while.

Jiang Tao seemed to be compromising. "Okay, give me some time. I promise to find a way to handle this matter and bring you back to the Jiang family."

Although he said this, he sneered in his heart.

Take you back to the Jiang family?

It's so funny.

Don't you even look at your own character?

How could I, the president of Jiang Group, bring a country woman back to the Jiang family?

You don’t even consider whether you are worthy of it!

Zheng Cheng was an accidental affair between Jiang Tao and his wife when he was young. Jiang Tao originally planned to give them some money to get rid of them.

Little did she know that Zheng Shufen had a lot of disgraceful evidence against Jiang Tao, so Jiang Tao ignored them all these years, but he didn't dare to do anything too drastic.

"Since Cheng'er is already dead, let's quickly cremate him and let him rest in peace."

Jiang Tao sighed sadly.

Pretend to be heartbroken.

But that look revealed a hint of viciousness from time to time.

"Are you talking like a human being? My son died in mysterious circumstances, and now you want me to cremate him like this?"

When Zheng's mother heard this.

The whole person is like a lit powder keg.

Emotions completely erupted, "Don't think I don't know that after Cheng'er was cremated, we can't do a paternity test with you. You want to completely cover up the fact that he is your illegitimate child, right?"

Jiang Tao turned pale with shock at Zheng's mother's sudden revelation.

His body trembled slightly.

There was a flash of panic in his eyes.

But she quickly pretended to be calm and said, "Shufen, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I have such an idea?"

"I simply felt that since Cheng'er was gone, burying him was the best option."

He steadied himself and said, suppressing his anger, "Shufen, don't worry. I will have someone thoroughly investigate Cheng'er's death. I won't let Cheng'er die in vain."

Jiang Tao said this to comfort her.

But he snorted in his heart.

What the hell is this investigation?

He wished that the matter would just end there, as long as he could fool this crazy woman and make her stop pursuing the matter.

As for how Zheng Cheng died, he didn't care at all.

It’s just a son, it’s not like he doesn’t have one.

Mother Zheng burst into tears and said in a trembling voice, "Okay, I'll trust you this time. Don't let my Cheng'er die in vain."

Jiang Tao secretly felt disdainful in his heart.

But he still put on a sincere look, nodded and said, "Shufen, don't worry."

Just then, Jiang Tao's cell phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and looked at it, then said to Zheng's mother, "There's something urgent at the company, and I have to go back and deal with it first. You know I can't be away for too long. As soon as I'm done here, I'll immediately start investigating Cheng'er's matter. Don't think too much about it here."

After saying this, he turned around and left in a hurry without waiting for Zheng's mother to respond.

There was a hint of urgency in the footsteps.

It was as if there was something urgent and urgent waiting for him to deal with.

Bullshit emergency number.

That was just a greeting he had arranged with his assistant in advance.

He was afraid that this crazy woman would pester him and not let him go.

After Jiang Tao walked away, Zheng's mother's body softened, and she slowly squatted down against the wall, covering her face with her hands and sobbing again.

She kept muttering, "Cheng'er, I'm sorry for you. I really have no choice but to trust him this time. But I'm really unsure..."

Jiang Tao is gone.

But Zheng Shufen was still guarding Zheng Cheng's body.

Su Qian's legs were numb in the storage room.

But if I go out at this time, wouldn’t Zheng’s mother find out? That would be so embarrassing.

And Zheng's mother obviously doesn't want anyone to know this secret.

"What should I do now?"

Su Qian lowered her voice, gently moved her numb legs, and whispered to Lu Yao, "We can't stay here forever, can we?"

Lu Yao blinked.

He glanced down at Su Qian's hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had something to say.

Only then did Su Qian notice that she was still covering Lu Yao's mouth.

She quickly withdrew her hand, an embarrassed smile flashing across her face.

Lu Yao didn't care. He moved closer to Su Qian and replied in a low voice, "Wait a moment. Eavesdropping is not a glorious thing."

The storage room is very small, barely enough for two people.

The two were very close at this moment.

Su Qian could even clearly feel the warm breath exhaled by Lu Yao when he spoke.

Her face flushed slightly, and she nodded gently in response: "Well, this is the only way."

Looking at the rosy little face so close to me.

Lu Yao was distracted for a moment.

He turned his face away slightly, trying to calm his heartbeat, but other thoughts flashed through his mind uncontrollably.

"What's wrong?"

Su Qian noticed something strange about Lu Yao, tilted her head slightly, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Lu Yao quickly came to his senses and coughed lightly.

"You...you stepped on my foot." Lu Yao said unnaturally.

Su Qian: “…”

When Su Qian heard this, her eyes widened.

He quickly lowered his head, his face full of apology, and said in a low voice:

"Sorry, sorry."

As he spoke, he shook his body slightly.

I tried to move a little, but the storage room was too narrow and there was not much space left.

In his panic, he almost bumped into the wall behind him.
