Liu Hong's face instantly turned deathly pale, as white as paper, without a trace of blood.
She didn't know where that brat Gu Nianqing had found out, but she knew this matter absolutely couldn't be exposed. If it were, then she and Chen Yaohua would truly have no hope left. Although their hopes were already slim, Liu Hong still clung to a sliver of hope.
Actually, she didn't like Chen Yaohua, but at the same time, she couldn't bear to give up the Chen family's wealth and status. The man she liked didn't come from a good family and couldn't give her the affluent life she wanted, so she broke up with him. After the breakup, she followed her mother's arrangement and chose to marry Chen Yaohua. But after the marriage, she remembered how good the man was, and couldn't help herself... After a while, there was a second time, and that's how Rui Rui came to be.
Actually, she was also scared when she first got pregnant. She was worried about being found out by others. But later, seeing her family happy and more indulgent towards her, she gradually relaxed and has become increasingly arrogant.
But in fact, Chen Yaohua was really good to her. She knew that Chen Yaohua did not like her, but even though he did not like her, he did everything a husband could do. He was gentle and polite, and gave her the respect and care that all women dream of. Moreover, the Chen family accommodated her in every way because her father sacrificed himself to save her father-in-law.
Before Lin Qing returned, she thought she was the most special and favored person in the family, and everyone had to give way to her and pamper her. However, after Lin Qing returned, she saw the love and care her family showed to Lin Qing and Lin Qing's child, which made her feel that her position was threatened, and that's when her dissatisfaction erupted.
But at this moment, Liu Hong regretted it. She really regretted it. If she had known that her dissatisfaction would cause such a series of consequences, she would have kept her dissatisfaction to herself and would never have provoked anyone. If she had done that, would her affair have not been exposed, and would Yaohua not have divorced her?
But it was too late. Yaohua was already considering divorcing her. If that kid really found out something, then she would be completely finished. Thinking of this, Liu Hong felt even more uneasy.
Gu Nianqing looked at Chen Yaohua, a sly glint in his eyes. He knew his words had caused enough of a stir, but he had no intention of letting it go. He gently broke free from Chen Yaohua's embrace, walked to the center of the living room, looked around, and then slowly spoke.
“Not long ago, I went out to play with my uncle, and I accidentally ran too far away. When I passed through an alley, I saw my second aunt kissing an uncle. My second aunt told the uncle that Rui Rui was not my second uncle's biological son, but that the uncle was.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Hong felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her already pale face turned even whiter. Her lips trembled as she tried to retort, but she found herself unable to utter a single sound. Her eyes were filled with fear and despair. No, she couldn't let this secret be exposed. Once revealed, she would lose everything completely.
“Nianqing, your second aunt knows that she is not good to you, but you can’t hurt her like this. This is no small matter. You can’t lie just because you dislike your second aunt! Nianqing, quickly tell everyone that what you just said was a lie.”
Liu Hong suddenly grabbed Gu Nianqing and said with a wronged expression, but the increasing force in her hand showed just how much she hated him.
"Why would Second Aunt say that? Nianqing isn't lying! If Second Uncle doesn't believe me, I can take you to find that uncle."
Gu Nianqing tilted her head innocently in Chen Yaohua's arms and said with a smile.
"Nianqing, children shouldn't lie; lying is wrong..."
Liu Hong gripped Gu Nianqing tightly, her face full of resentment as she spoke.
"Ouch... Auntie, you're hurting me!"
Suddenly, Gu Nianqing said with a wronged expression.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qing pulled Liu Hong away and then pulled up Gu Nianqing's sleeve to check, only to find that Gu Nianqing's arm was covered in bruises.
"Clap clap clap..."
Without saying a word, Lin Qing slapped Liu Hong's cheeks several times.
"Liu Hong, Nianqing is only ten years old. How could you hit her so hard!"
Just as everyone was recovering from the sound of Lin Qing's slap, they heard Lin Qing's voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan hurriedly pulled Gu Nianqing over to check. She saw that Gu Nianqing's arm was covered in bruises. This was only because she was wearing thick winter clothes. If it were summer, what would she look like?
"Lin Qing, how dare you hit me!"
Liu Hong got up from the ground and lunged at Lin Qing, but before she could reach Lin Qing, Lin Qing kicked her to the ground again.
"You, you..."
"Enough, Liu Hong. Nianqing is just a child. How could he lie like that? As an elder, you not only don't love the child, but you even lay a hand on him. Have you no shame? Once the documents are issued, we'll get the divorce certificate, and then you... you can leave with your son."
Just as Liu Hong was about to accuse everyone of siding with Lin Qing, Chen Yaohua interrupted her. He glared at Liu Hong with resentment and said calmly, after a pause, "If you really want to deny it, we'll find that man. Although our country can't do paternity tests yet, foreign countries can. And last month, the research department just imported a piece of equipment from abroad. I think a paternity test can prove everything."
