Tang Zihao immediately gave Chen Zhe a bear hug.
"Brother Chen, why didn't you come to our wedding before? Yuanyuan and I were really looking forward to it, we both thought you would come."
Chen Zhe smiled apologetically and turned to see Wu Yuanyuan, whose belly was very large.
"this……?"
Tang Zihao put his arm around Wu Yuanyuan's shoulder and laughed, "Yuanyuan is due to give birth next month. We came here specifically to see you. You absolutely cannot miss my child's one-month celebration. Yuanyuan and I have already agreed that our child will recognize you as his godfather."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhe's face suddenly flushed.
If he had a child with Mu Wanzhi, he would essentially be Tang Zihao's "stepfather." How could he possibly be the godfather of Tang Zihao's child? Wouldn't that create chaos?
Seeing that Chen Zhe did not immediately agree, Tang Zihao was puzzled; "Brother Chen, what's wrong? You're not going to refuse, are you? You're the first person I thought of, you can't turn me down."
"No, Zihao, I don't think I was mentally prepared for this..."
"Haha, aren't you too happy? You're happy for me, aren't you?"
Tang Zihao remained as innocent and kind as ever, completely unaware of Chen Zhe's inner turmoil.
Chen Zhe looked at Wu Yuanyuan's belly and saw the expectant looks on the two of them.
He took a deep breath; what was bound to happen would happen...
"Zihao... there's something I might need to tell you, and it might hurt your feelings..."
Seeing Chen Zhe's serious expression, Tang Zihao and Wu Yuanyuan exchanged a glance.
"What's wrong, Brother Chen? Are you really going to reject me?"
"Zihao... this matter has been weighing on my mind for a long time. I should have told you sooner, it's just that..."
Chen Zhe hesitated, then glanced at Wu Yuanyuan. "Yuanyuan, could you go out for a moment? I want to talk to Zihao alone."
"Ah? Oh! Okay, Mr. Chen!"
Although the two hadn't seen each other for a long time and were no longer in a superior-subordinate relationship, Wu Yuanyuan still subconsciously listened to Chen Zhe's words and turned to leave.
Tang Zihao was even more confused; "Brother Chen, what exactly do you want to talk to me about? Why do you insist on letting Yuanyuan go out?"
Chen Zhe put his hand on Tang Zihao's shoulder.
"Zihao, I have to confess something to you. I've done something that I'm sorry for..."
Tang Zihao suddenly felt nervous upon hearing this opening.
His heart was pounding so hard he felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
"Brother Chen...you...you wouldn't be thinking of telling me that you and Yuanyuan...had something going on..."
Tang Zihao spoke haltingly, and it was clear that he was very nervous.
Chen Zhe knew immediately that he had misunderstood.
"You're overthinking it. Yuanyuan and I are innocent. I swear to God. Sigh, let me just tell you straight, your mother and I... we... had sex once, it was during that trip to southern Xinjiang, we were in the hotel... I couldn't control myself and we had sex, and then I gave birth to your little brother... Zihao, I'm so sorry, I lied to you..."
Tang Zihao's mouth dropped open; "You...you said...you and my mom gave birth to a younger brother for me?"
Chen Zhe nodded; he remembered that Hu Ling had indeed said it was a son.
"I'm sorry, Zihao. I know you must be very angry right now. I'm standing right here today. You can hit me or scold me, I'll accept it."
Chen Zhe closed his eyes, thinking that Tang Zihao probably wanted to beat him up right now.
But after a few seconds, they heard Tang Zihao laugh out loud.
Chen Zhe opened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
"Zihao? Aren't you angry?"
Tang Zihao couldn't stop laughing and said, "Are you kidding me? Why would I be angry? Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Brother Chen, your joke is so unserious. How come I didn't know my mom was giving birth?"
Chen Zhe was shocked when he heard Tang Zihao's words, his mouth agape. "Zihao, are you telling the truth? Your mother really didn't have any children?"
"Haha, how could that be fake? I see my mom almost every day. If she were to have a baby, I would definitely know. Brother Chen, your joke really leaves me speechless."
Chen Zhe's lips twitched.
"Hehehe...hehe, I really can't fool you."
Tang Zihao laughed heartily and patted Chen Zhe on the shoulder.
"You're going to be my child's godfather now, so don't try to fool me or try to shirk your responsibility."
Chen Zhe nodded blankly.
Hu Ling was on his mind all day. He wanted nothing more than to run back and confront her. This woman had deceived him terribly.
As Tang Zihao and Wu Yuanyuan were preparing to leave, Wu Yuanyuan suddenly stepped forward and said to Chen Zhe, "President Chen, there's something I want to tell you."
Chen Zhe nodded.
"you say."
“I saw Dingdong at the supermarket when I went back to Donghai yesterday. She is also very pregnant. I asked her when she got married, but she didn’t tell me. I asked her who the father of the child is, but she didn’t tell me either. Just as I was about to ask her more, she hurriedly ran away. Mr. Chen, I’m a little worried that she might have been scammed.”
Chen Zhe was also a little surprised to hear this news. Xiao Dingdong had left the villa several months ago. She said she was going home to take care of her mother and that she was going back to her hometown. How could she be in Donghai? And why was she so pregnant? This was indeed very strange. Could it be that she had really been deceived?
"Yuanyuan, which supermarket did you see her at?"
"It's right there on the fold of the zither."
"Okay, I'll go check it out later."
After seeing the two off, Chen Zhe felt increasingly puzzled. Ever since he returned to Donghai, he felt that many things had become very strange.
He sat in the office for a moment, then stood up again.
[Never mind, I'll go check it out!]
He picked up the keys and went downstairs straight to Zheshangzhai.
He went to Zheshangzhe and found Wang De. After reviewing the surveillance footage for a while, he finally spotted Xiao Dingdong.
Sure enough, just as Wu Yuanyuan had said, Xiao Dingdong's belly was very noticeably swollen, clearly indicating that she was pregnant. In addition, Chen Zhe also saw another familiar figure, none other than Mo Xiaohong, who had said she was going back for a blind date. Coincidentally, Mo Xiaohong was also heavily pregnant. The surveillance footage showed that after Xiao Dingdong met with Wu Yuanyuan, she hurriedly left, found Mo Xiaohong in the corner, and after exchanging a few words, the two left together.
"Strange! This is too strange, how could it be such a coincidence?"
Chen Zhe began to think.
Wang De asked from the side, "Brother, what's wrong? You look troubled. Do you need my help?"
"Brother Wang, please keep an eye on these two people for me. If they come again, call me and let me know. Remember not to alert them."
"Okay, I understand."
Wang De nodded.
...
After returning home, Chen Zhe couldn't resist knocking on Hu Ling's door.
"Sister Hu, are you there?"
After about ten seconds, Hu Ling's voice came from inside.
"What's up?"
"There's something I'd like to talk to you about?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's about Sister Mu! Sister Mu didn't have a child at all, you lied to me!"
There was another pause of about ten seconds, and then Hu Ling's cold voice came out again.
"Who told you that?"
“I ran into Tang Zihao today, and he told me that his mother never gave birth to any children. I think you need to give me an explanation for this!”
"Oh, I'll explain later. I'm a little tired now and want to sleep."
"Sister Hu!!"
Chen Zhe knocked on the door a few times.
But Hu Ling didn't respond to him.
"Sister Hu, if you continue to fob me off like this, I'm going to break down the door! You've lied to me so badly, you have to give me an explanation!"
