Every good thing that happened to her had this man’s shadow behind it.
Su Zixi didn’t even need to guess.
"It’s just your luck," he chuckled softly, nipping her ear.
Su Zixi suddenly felt a sourness in her eyes.
"Mm, it’s my good luck."
Meeting him was the greatest fortune of her life.
Early in the morning, Su Zixi was taken away by the people from the President Mansion, He Jingyao didn’t go to the company but stayed at home to watch the snow.
The phone rang just then.
He picked up with a lazy tone, "Father."
"Your wife..." He Yirong’s voice was extremely complex, "is the President’s daughter?"
"It seems you know," He Jingyao’s lips curved, "What do you think, isn’t the identity of the President’s daughter more significant than a niece?"
He Yirong took a deep breath, "Jingyao, that’s not the point! No matter how her status changes, it will hurt you, how can you be so blind!"
"But it’s too late." He Jingyao smiled faintly, "Do you think I can just divorce her now?"
"You..." He Yirong choked, "You did it on purpose!"
"Hah... Ancestry isn’t something I can decide," He Jingyao’s tone became even more casual, "Do you think the President is a fool?"
He Yirong had no words to respond.
In the end, he could only say huffily, "In any case, you must come back for another check-up in two weeks!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone forcefully.
He Jingyao listened to the busy tone from the phone before tossing the mobile aside, his expression as calm as ever.
Stepping into this place once again, Su Zixi’s feelings were more complex than ever.
When she saw Chu Jinyu, her lips moved, but she suddenly didn’t know what to call her.
Chu Jinyu was still smiling kindly as usual, with a slight redness around her eyes.
"...Madam," Su Zixi finally spat out the two words.
"Mm," Chu Jinyu responded, seemingly without disappointment. She grasped Su Zixi’s wrist and spoke softly, "You’ve been wronged."
Su Zixi shook her head, "Mom has always been good to me."
"Zhou Rong... she was a good woman," Chu Jinyu’s face showed a trace of remembrance, "Back then, I shared a maternity room with her... Her health was poor, and her child passed away not long after birth... That’s why I gave you to her, asking her to take good care of you, and she agreed very excitedly."
Su Zixi stared at her, stunned.
"That was over twenty years ago, medical conditions were rather primitive, and the hospital was chaotic; a little trickery could easily fool her husband," Chu Jinyu said, shaking her head slightly, "Fortunately, her husband wasn’t there when she gave birth, he came after the fact."
At that time, he might have still been with Lin Shuyue.
Su Zixi pursed her lips.
"Madam, I want to know..." Su Zixi hesitated before asking, "Who exactly is my father?"
Chu Jinyu was startled.
Just then, a deep voice sounded lightly, "You silly child, of course, your father is me."
Su Zixi jerked her head up and saw President Cheng Youlin standing not far away. She was at a loss, her face flushed and she didn’t know how to address him.
The President was too distant, yet calling him dad was something she simply couldn’t utter.
