Chapter 63 A Real-Life Truman Show
"Acheng?"
"It's me."
"How could you..." Zhou Yue paused halfway through her sentence, glancing down at Zhou Mu in her arms, "I'll tell you later."
Jiang Chengli also noticed the child in her arms, "What's wrong with Zhou Mu?"
"I have a cold and fever." Zhou Yue said, then pushed open the door, but stopped Jiang Chengli outside. "Zhou Chenglong is at my house, don't come in."
When Zhou Yue put Zhou Mu back in the house, Zhou Chenglong's snoring could already be heard in the living room. She quietly closed the door, passed by Jiang Chengli, and said, "Come with me."
"What's this?" Zhou Yue already had a guess when she saw the file folder.
"I did the paternity test in Liangcheng. I didn't show up, and I used a fake name." Jiang Chengli's eyes gleamed with excitement even in the darkness.
Zhou Yue used the dim light of her phone to check the results for Yan Songyu and Zhou Mufeifei. "I told you you were overthinking it. You're just upset about Yan Songyu's affair. If it had been exposed earlier, we'd be either in prison or already dead by now."
She then asked, "What are your plans next?"
"Of course I'll be a good, useless husband. They deliberately let me catch them, trying to force me to take the initiative to divorce them. But I'm a useless person now, why would I willingly leave the Yan family, this big tree?"
Jiang Chengli's clenched fists trembled slightly, not from fear, but from excitement. "As long as Feifei takes over the Yan family, my chance for revenge will come."
"How can you be so sure that Feifei will stand on our side? We have all seen how good Yan Songyu is to Feifei. Blood ties may not be able to overcome more than 20 years of family affection."
"That's why I'm in a hurry to come back and build a relationship with Feifei. She's only eight years old, and we have plenty of time. Father and daughter are naturally close, and I'll make her depend on me." Jiang Chengli envisioned his bright future. "When Feifei's identity is exposed, Yan Songyu will definitely turn against her and even hate her."
“I believe that it is not difficult for her to choose between a father who schemes for her and an adoptive mother who hates her.”
"People die for wealth, birds die for food. I don't believe anyone would be unmoved by the enormous Ruixin."
As Jiang Chengli spoke, he even excitedly grasped Zhou Yue's shoulder, "Moreover, with Yan Songyu's infidelity as an example, Feifei will definitely be able to better understand my forbearance and sacrifices. I did all this for her."
...
"Such a beautiful dream, I won't wake him up."
This is Yan Songyu's reaction when she heard the recording.
She spent a lot of money to monitor the two of them 24/7 without any blind spots. It was a real-life "The Truman Show," and she was very happy watching it.
Feng Yu buried his face in her neck like a cat, inhaling her captivating fragrance. "Once he sees Lan Cheng's paternity test report, he'll definitely put on an even more impressive performance."
That day, Feng Yu was lazily hugging Yan Songyu, begging her to stay, when he suddenly received a call from Master Xu, "Fifth Brother."
"Ayu, I received your DNA sample at a hospital in Lancheng. The application is for a paternity test. Do you know what's going on?"
Feng Yu and Yan Songyu exchanged a glance and instantly guessed who was behind this. They were quite meticulous. So he also suspected that he was being monitored and had been acting all along. But unfortunately, he underestimated the connections and power of capital.
"Fifth Brother, I understand. I was just about to ask you for a favor."
"Between brothers, there's no need for formalities, just say it."
"There should also be a maternal sample with the surname Yan and two girl samples along with that sample. Please ask the hospital to change the results."
Master Xu sensed there was more to the story, but such things were commonplace in wealthy and powerful families, and he had no curiosity to delve deeper. "Alright."
“I suspect he might also be plotting to get into the company.” Yan Songyu pulled Feng Yu’s head out. “It itches, stop rubbing.”
Feng Yu obediently sat up straight, but his hand on Yan Songyu's waist did not leave. "Actually, he is quite ambitious. He has turned his life around twice. There is a bit of mystical power in him. If he really wants to create value for Ruixin, it is not impossible. Just don't let him get involved in the core power."
Yan Songyu tapped her chin thoughtfully, "The Xicheng branch is short of a sales director, how about sending him there?"
“He’s focused on building a father-daughter relationship with Feifei, so he won’t agree.”
“Then I can’t let him stay here. I won’t let him get close to Feifei.”
Feng Yu thought for a moment and suggested, "Perhaps we can keep him busy, so busy that he won't have time for petty scheming. He's a ready-made ox or horse, so why not use him?"
"Let me think..."

As soon as Yan Songyu returned home, Uncle Wang immediately came to greet her. "Miss, he is accompanying Miss Feifei to her piano lesson. He is very attentive. I want to stop him, but I have no right to do so."
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wang. Leave it to me."
When Yan Songyu entered, Jiang Chengli was sitting quietly in the corner of the music room, looking at Feifei with a proud expression.
Feifei spotted her mother immediately, her eyes lit up, but she didn't stop playing the piano. Instead, she played "Ode to Joy" even more attentively.
Snap—
Snap snap snap—
As soon as Feifei finished playing, she heard Yan Songyu's applause. She ran over and jumped into her arms, hugging her waist, looking up at her with her big, watery eyes, "Mommy, how did I play?"
"Fantastic!"
The teacher also said, "Feifei has made great progress. She is very talented in music. I think she should definitely try to participate in this year's Shanghai International Youth Piano Competition."
Yan Songyu also thought it was a good idea, but she fully respected Feifei's opinion. "Feifei, what do you think of Teacher Lin's suggestion? Do you want to participate?"
"Can I really do it?"
Feifei really likes the piano, but she only treats it as a hobby and doesn't practice much, since her family does have a company to inherit.
She was a very smart and filial child. Even though Yan Songyu and Yan Binghua never made any demands on her, she was sensible enough to want to do something for her grandfather and mother.
“Of course, Ms. Lin is the most talented and capable student at Shanghai Conservatory of Music. She has already recognized your abilities, so of course you can do it.” Yan Songyu squatted down to be at Feifei’s eye level. “Mommy’s baby can do anything you like and want to do. It’s just a piano competition. Our Feifei is so excellent, you should have confidence in yourself.”
"Then I'll participate!" Feifei's eyes sparkled.
Jiang Chengli frowned upon hearing this, "Feifei is about to start school, will this piano competition affect her studies?"
Feifei glanced at Jiang Chengli, and her mood instantly plummeted, as if she was blaming herself for her immaturity.
"Ms. Lin, you've had a hard day. I'll have Uncle Li take you back to school." Yan Songyu's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.
"Okay, thank you, Miss Yan."
After seeing Teacher Lin off, Yan Songyu coaxed Feifei back to her room before giving Jiang Chengli a cold look.
