[141. Illegitimate Child]
At that time, Zheng Xuhe didn't know that the name was his own.
He ignored Chen Jianmin and walked past him with the plate in hand.
Chen Jianmin looked a little embarrassed, but it was Chen Lingyue's birthday party after all, and he couldn't make things too awkward because of an illegitimate child.
Although Chen Jianmin didn't pay much attention to this illegitimate child, Chen Lingyue noticed it.
She was standing in the center of the stage, and as the protagonist of the banquet, she saw it very clearly.
The name Chen Lingxu sounds like the name of a child from the Chen family.
The Chen family actually has the same system of survival of the fittest as the Qin family.
It’s just that the Chen family is a little more chaotic than the Qin family, because there are so many illegitimate sons and daughters, and everyone doesn’t know each other, so they are a little more lenient.
There are five children recognized by the Chen family, and she has four older brothers and sisters.
And she was just lucky enough to be taken home as Chen Jianmin's illegitimate daughter.
After that birthday, Chen Jianmin did look for Zheng Xuhe. She didn’t know what her father talked about with him, but when Chen Jianmin left, he looked very bad.
She had never seen Chen Jianmin like this before. After all, her father was a very emotionally stable man and would not show an embarrassed expression because of anyone.
So Chen Lingyue was very curious about who could embarrass her father so much, so she investigated Zheng Xuhe's identity and secretly did a paternity test.
After learning that Zheng Xuhe was her half-brother, she became interested.
Both of them have special identities in the family. She has always been the marginalized daughter, and her so-called eldest brother has always disliked her and wanted to drive her out.
She had to find someone to help her, and Zheng Xuhe was the most suitable person.
"Zheng Xuhe, I am the only one who will stand by you." Chen Lingyue looked at him seriously and said, "Cheng Qingxing can't help you, do you understand?"
"But I don't need him to help me at all. It's enough for me to have him by my side." Zheng Xuhe looked at the people in the ward and took a deep breath. "Chen Lingyue, I know what kind of person he is. So when you say that he distanced himself from me for money, I don't believe it at all."
Chen Lingyue didn't say anything. She did lie about this matter.
However, half of what she said was true. Cheng Qingxing did take the money and spent it directly.
"You don't think I'm lying to you, do you?" Chen Lingyue asked him, "How much money do you think the trending search cost for his affair with Qin Shaojie?"
Zheng Xuhe's face darkened and he avoided her gaze. In fact, he had already anticipated how much money it would cost.
"So he took 20 million, right?" Zheng Xuhe asked her, "It's not just money, right?"
Chen Lingyue didn't say anything.
Zheng Xuhe looked at her, but he had already made a judgment in his heart.
"Chen Lingyue, did you threaten him with his friends?"
After hearing this, Chen Lingyue prepared to run away, but Zheng Xuhe's pheromones prevented her from moving.
"So? He made his own choice. What does it have to do with me?" Chen Lingyue asked him coldly, "I didn't force him. He chose money and friends. You are just a choice after that."
Zheng Xuhe remained silent. In fact, he had no way to refute this point.
Cheng Qingxing did choose something else instead of him.
He wants so many things, fame, money, friends, and family, but he is not there.
--
It has been raining heavily in Jinghai recently, and the hospital entrance is always crowded with people.
Zheng Xuhe stood at the door of the ward, with deep fatigue in his eyes.
It was already the third day after the operation, and Cheng Qingxing still showed no signs of waking up.
What's even more ridiculous is that no one came to see him in the ward in these three days.
His friends were probably too busy or couldn't come in, so they never showed up.
As for his father, who lived in a community near the hospital, he had never come to see him, let alone care whether he lived or died.
"Mr. Zheng, don't you want to go in and take a look?" The nurse came out and looked at Zheng Xuhe with a gentle expression. "The situation has improved a lot now. You can go in after putting on the isolation suit."
Zheng Xuhe didn't say anything and the nurse didn't dare to say much. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she stopped talking and left silently.
The secretary came in at this time, holding several documents in his hand, and handed them to him directly, saying: "Master Zheng, this is as you expected. Mr. Cheng is not the biological son of the Cheng family."
There was silence for a moment. Zheng Xuhe looked at the documents in his hand, then sat aside and started reading.
It turned out that Cheng Qingxing was adopted. Because Cheng Qingxing's parents had no children, they went to the hospital for a check-up and were told that Cheng Qingxing's father had health problems.
But in this world where genders are distinguished by superiority and inferiority, Cheng Qingxing's mother said nothing, but just obeyed Cheng Qingxing's father and adopted Cheng Qingxing.
When Cheng Qingxing was adopted, he was actually only two years old and knew nothing.
"It's a good thing I don't know anything." Zheng Xuhe said in a low voice.
But the secretary said, "Mr. Cheng actually knows. Please look at the next page."
Zheng Xuhe didn't quite understand what he said, but he still turned the page and read a paternity test report.
The report was dated ten years ago and showed that Cheng Qingxing and Cheng Mingguo were not father and son.
"Cheng Qingxing knew ten years ago that he was not her biological child, right?"
"Yes, in fact, the accurate statement is that when he was 18 years old, before going to college, he secretly did a paternity test." The secretary pointed to the date on it and said softly, "Mr. Cheng should not have returned home after going to college."
Zheng Xuhe sighed and said nothing. He just looked at the documents quietly and put them aside after reading them.
He already had the answer in his heart.
After Cheng Qingxing realized that he was adopted, he actually had no intention of escaping from his family.
The real reason why he ran away from his parents was probably that he was already an adult at that time and Cheng's mother was pregnant with his younger brother.
People are biased, especially since Cheng Qingxing had already differentiated into an Omega at that time. There was actually no way out for him to continue in the entertainment industry.
The document also showed that Cheng Qingxing's choice of major had been changed, but Cheng Qingxing didn't want to, so he finally chose the Central Academy of Film.
When his younger brother was born, the family was under great pressure, and his adopted son did not listen to him, so naturally the family treated Cheng Qingxing as an outsider.
With Cheng Qingxing's personality, after knowing all this, he probably quickly understood why his father's attitude towards him had changed so drastically.
But he never told me that, even though they had been married for four years, he had never told me about his family affairs.
Just like he had never told the other party that he was Chen Jianmin’s illegitimate son.
