Chapter 154 Qin Zheng Takes Action
"Oh, since the Zhong family is so powerful, then the current mistress of the Zhong family must have a very powerful background, right?"
Upon hearing this, the old professor curled his lips in disgust.
"What's so great about her? She's all pretending. This Lin Manting, don't be fooled by her appearance of being gentle and virtuous, like a delicate young lady from a wealthy family. But she's actually just a poor relative from the countryside who came to live with the son-in-law of the Zhong family. The old man of the Zhong family took pity on her and took her in. Later, when she came to live with her, I don't know how she fell in love with Zhong Changfa, and the two of them secretly got a marriage certificate. At that time, the old man of the Zhong family was furious when he found out and fainted on the spot."
The professor was still talking about some gossip he knew about the Zhong family, but Qin Zheng had already grasped the key point from what he said.
The old professor's story never mentioned Lin Manting's child. However, Lei Hu, who was arrested by the special authorities, confessed that Lin Manting left Lei Hu and came to Beijing because she was pregnant with someone unknown. After Lei Hu learned of this, he almost aborted the child. To save her life, Lin Manting secretly fled to Beijing to find her lover.
Qin Zheng guessed that Lin Manting's lover was most likely Zhong Changfa's brother-in-law.
If so, Lin Manting and Zhong Changfa's brother-in-law really had an illegitimate child in secret, this would explain why he would still take care of the Zhong family even after the elder of the Zhong family, whom the brother-in-law feared, passed away.
Lin Manting, you dare to be so bold, your confidence must be from this brother-in-law! I want to see how you dare to hurt the Liu family when you have no backing.
Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed across Qin Zheng's eyes.
In a spacious courtyard house in Beijing, Zhong Meilan, Zhong Changfa's younger sister, was of medium height and overweight, her face dotted with freckles. She had returned home in the dark after playing mahjong at a neighbor's house, but she didn't see her husband, nor did she know him. Perhaps she had simply grown accustomed to his busy schedule and his nights spent in the company dormitory. She swaggered her overweight body into her room, opened a drawer, and saw a stack of large unity banknotes already there. A smile of joy immediately broke out on her greasy face.
The living expenses are in place, and I have to make up for today's losses tomorrow.
In a courtyard house two streets away from Zhong Meilan's house, Zhong Meilan's man Xu Ge got up from the bed and lazily
He was wearing a shirt and smoking a cigarette in a very good mood.
"Brother, please don't forget to fulfill my promise! That old woman knows my background very well. If she reveals our son's identity, we'll both be sent to work as laborers on a farm."
Lin Manting sat up from the quilt, revealing that although she was quite old, her skin was as fair as that of a young woman in her thirties.
Seeing Lin Manting's skin as white as Huang Yan's under the light, Xu Ge stretched out his big hand and rubbed it a few times with a greedy look on his face.
"Don't worry, for the sake of our son's future, I will send her to hell tomorrow."
After getting a satisfactory answer from Xu Ge, Lin Manting snuggled into Xu Ge's arms with admiration and worship on her face, like a newly-wed bride.
