Chapter 52: Fake Daughter in the Entertainment Industry
Chen Xueqing came downstairs carrying her luggage. She was wearing a large fisherman's hat, sunglasses covering most of her face, a pair of seven-centimeter high heels, and a whole set of designer clothes, which was very different from her previous self.
Downstairs, several old ladies were chatting together. When they saw the brand new Chen Xueqing, they were stunned and winked at each other. When the people walked over, one of the old ladies couldn't help but curl her lips and said softly:
"Tsk, who is this person? She dresses up all day long and I don't know what she does."
The people around her laughed at her:
"You don't know this, do you? She's hooking up with a rich man!"
When the others heard this, they thought there was gossip and hurriedly urged:
"What's going on? Tell me, tell me quickly!"
The man looked around, then leaned over and said in a low voice:
"That day I saw with my own eyes a man driving her back home. That car..."
She paused for a few seconds before saying:
"My son was there at the time, and he said the car was worth at least that much!"
She stretched out her hands and gestured, and the others couldn't help but gasp:
“Is it that expensive?!”
"Wow! She really is hooking up with a rich man."
The man snorted and laughed:
"What do you think? Didn't you see that her aura is different when she walks?"
Some people are disdainful:
"I've long thought she wasn't a decent person. She's so young and alone with a child, and she doesn't have any other relatives around her. Maybe she's already been kept by someone."
Speaking of children, the topic started to deviate again:
"Hasn't she seen her daughter for a long time?"
"It's been almost two months since I last saw you, right?"
"What does it look like? Why don't I seem to have seen it before?"
"That girl rarely goes out. She is locked up at home all day. How pitiful."
"She often sees the guy next door."
"Hey, isn't it a coincidence that both are single mothers with a daughter, and they live across the street. This one has found a rich man, and what about the other one? I think the one who looks good isn't bad either."
"Doesn't she already have a boyfriend? I often see a man coming to see her, and he looks pretty energetic."
"Yes, yes, yes, I saw him too. I heard he works in a certain company and he looks respectable."
If Chen Xueqing knew what these aunts were discussing, she would probably say:
"What a coincidence, Speak of the devil, he appears."
Chen Xueqing stopped and stood at the corner, looking at the man and woman pulling each other in front of her.
The woman was her neighbor Zhao Yingyue, and the man...
"Jiahao, let me go first!"
Zhou Jiahao grabbed Zhao Yingyue's wrist, looking somewhat painful:
"Yingyue, he has a child with someone else. Are you still waiting for him now?"
Zhao Yingyue stopped struggling:
"I said Yanyan is not his..."
Zhou Jiahao didn't want to hear her explanation:
"Who else could it be if not him? He's the one you've been paying attention to the most over the years! You read his news, buy his magazines, and even occasionally attend events at shopping malls even if you have to skip work. If it's not him, why would you care so much about him?"
Zhao Yingyue was speechless for a long time before she said:
"It's not his fault. It's me... I took advantage of him..."
Zhou Jiahao put his hands around her shoulders and looked at her affectionately and attentively:
"Yingyue, I won't ask about your relationship. Let's just let the past go, okay? He has his life, and you should have yours. You should have seen clearly how I treated Yanyan over the years. I really treat her as my own daughter. Let me take care of you from now on, okay?"
Chen Xueqing looked at Zhao Yingyue in silence, but did not refuse Zhou Jiahao's hug.
This was not the first time she had seen such a scene. It was a coincidence that Chen Xueqing seemed to have a special fate with Zhao Yingyue.
The first time she saw Zhao Yingyue was in the hotel. That day, she was free and helped her friend who worked as a waiter in the hotel. Then, by coincidence, Chen Xueqing witnessed Zhao Yingyue following Xie Yan into the room and then running out of the room in dishevel.
That look... you can tell what happened.
However, Chen Xueqing didn't take it to heart at the time. She just thought that she happened to stumble upon a celebrity affair.
Not long after that, the man disappeared. Chen Xueqing was busy looking for him everywhere and completely forgot about what happened that day.
Until a year ago, because the rent of her previous house increased, she moved here with Ranran and met Zhao Yingyue and her daughter who was the same age as Ranran again.
Chen Xueqing lowered her head and smiled. Fate was so wonderful. It seemed that it was also in this place, with the same two people, and they were also saying thank you.
So, she knew everything she should and shouldn't know.
From that time on, Chen Xueqing subconsciously stopped letting Su Youran go out. Sometimes when she met Zhao Yingyue and her daughter in the hallway, she would always deliberately block Su Youran's way.
It’s hard to explain why, maybe she had been preparing since the moment she heard the secret.
The hair in the envelope was pulled out by Chen Xueqing when the little girl was playing alone downstairs. She thought she had made all the preparations, the only thing she didn't expect was that Ranran would be exposed so quickly.
Fortunately, Xie Yan said that he had a childhood sweetheart, otherwise she was really worried that Zhao Yingyue would find out something was wrong and come to her house. That would be too bad.
Chen Xueqing glanced again at the man and woman hugging each other quietly across from her, then turned and walked away in the other direction.
It seems that even God is blessing Ranran.
Su Youran, who was favored by Xie Yan, was sitting in the car, following Xie Yan back to Xie's home. She looked at the wide winding mountain road outside and the emerald green forests not far away, breathing in the fresh air blowing in through the cracks in the car window, and suddenly a thought came to her mind:
"Dad, are there rabbits on the hill?"
Xie Yan looked at the ignorant yet serious little man in the rearview mirror and smiled with his big white teeth:
"Of course, if you want it, you will get it."
Su Youran was holding her doll, almost leaning against the car window:
"I think so. I want to play with the rabbit."
Xie Yan immediately agreed:
"Then we'll go find the rabbit tomorrow."
But I was thinking about who to ask to buy a rabbit.
Twenty minutes later, the car finally drove into a large single-family villa. Xie Yan got out of the car first and carried Su Youran down. Before he took two steps, he saw a person standing at the door of the villa.
She was tall and slender, wearing a long silk dress, with neatly combed hair and an elegant temperament. She looked no more than forty years old, but her eyes showed the accumulation of years.
Xie Yan paused for a moment before shouting:
"mom."
Bai He didn't even glance at him. She only stared at Su Youran intently. She seemed even prettier than in the video...
Su Youran blinked her bright eyes and called out sweetly:
"grandmother!"
Bai He instantly burst into laughter, all her elegance gone. She responded loudly while rushing over and hugging Su Youran:
"Oh, grandma's little darling, I finally see you. Let grandma take a good look at you, um... my dear, how can you look so pitiful?"
Xie Yan's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he wanted to snatch Su Youran away:
"Mom! Don't scare Ranran!"
Bai He pretended not to hear and held her beloved tightly in her arms:
"It's called Ranran, right? Ranran, Ranran, even the name sounds so nice."
Su Youran looked confused, as if she was not used to such enthusiasm.
Another deep voice sounded from the gate:
"Mom, please let my younger brother and Ranran in first."
While Bai He was distracted, Xie Yan quickly picked up Su Youran, turned around and strode into the house.
As he passed the door he called out:
"Brother."
Su Youran looked over curiously. He was a tall, dignified man with a serious expression and a sense of authority without even getting angry.
Xie Jin sensed it and gave her a kind smile. It was obvious that he didn't smile often, so his smile was a little stiff. But his eyes were full of kindness and tenderness.
Su Youran smiled with her eyebrows curved, her voice crisp and sweet:
"Uncle!"
Xie Jin nodded in a good mood, thinking: Daughters and sons are indeed different... It would be great if I could swap with this boy Xie Yan.
Today, the Xie family gathered together for a rare occasion. Such a big thing happened, and it was a hot topic on the Internet, but Xie Yan didn't say a word. How could people not be anxious?
Xie Yan held Su Youran and sat on the sofa, teaching her how to recognize people:
"That's Grandpa."
Mr. Xie looked very kind and energetic despite being over fifty years old. He handed Su Youran a red envelope:
"A little gift for the baby."
Su Youran looked at Xie Yan, who took it for her. There was a thin layer of money inside, which was probably a check.
Su Youran leaned her back against Xie Yan and sat on his lap. Her face was pale and pink, and she looked very cute.
“Thank you, Grandpa!”
Xie Zuping smiled happily, he finally had a granddaughter.
Xie Yan continued to introduce other people:
"That's my eldest aunt...that's my second uncle, my second aunt...the two boys next to them, the one in red is my eldest uncle's, my eldest brother, and the one in black is my second uncle's..."
After recognizing everyone in the circle, except for the two younger ones, everyone else gave a generous gift.
The most dazzling one was the one given by Bai He, a box of jewelry she collected, including jade, pearls, gemstones, and all kinds of jewelry.
Even the two aunts couldn't help but look sideways.
Xie Yan frowned slightly:
"Mom, you can't use these now, so you should keep them for now."
Bai He rolled her eyes elegantly:
"Why not? Can't I use it as marbles? I prepared this for my daughter, but it's a pity that I didn't use it after giving birth to you three brats. I finally have a granddaughter, so of course I have to give it to her."
She looked at the two boys:
"You have others, don't be jealous of your sister!"
Xie Tianhua and Xie Tianqi quickly waved their hands:
"We don't want any of them, Grandma. Give them all to my sister!"
Su Youran leaned on Xie Yan's shoulder and smiled at them. The two young boys couldn't help but blush:
Wow, is this my sister? She looks so small and soft, and her face is so white and tender. I really want to pinch her...
Xie Tianqi was a little bolder and said to Xie Yan:
"Uncle, can I hug my sister?"
The author has something to say:
Sorry for the long wait. I had a task today, so I didn't finish coding at noon. I wanted to finish one chapter today, but I think it's not right!
