Chapter 414: Both Cheating Within Marriage_1
“Interestingly, Cao Zhen had a mistress before his marriage. However, she was of humble origin, coming from the countryside. Back then, to climb the social ladder, Cao Zhen discarded his mistress, married the Guan Family’s daughter, now Madam Guan Ya.”
Seeing Jiang Chengyun’s photo, Ye Qilan was not surprised: “It turns out Cao Zhen was also promiscuous.”
Many men in this world would stop at nothing for power, and he was no different. This led to a series of terrible mistakes.
“Sir, you might have noticed that Guan Ya resembles Jiang Chengyun. This is why Cao Zhen initially chose Guan Ya. Cao Zhen insisted on adopting Miss Su, probably because he can’t forget Jiang Chengyun and wants to make up for the past shackles,” Age speculated.
After looking over the information broadly, Ye Qilan had his own views: “Cao Zhen, having been immersed in bureaucracy for so many years, would not adopt Su Hongxing for such a reason; there must be some other hidden motives.”
If it weren’t for the fact that Su Hongxing is older than Cao Shiyu, he would have suspected that Su Hongxing is Cao Zhen’s illegitimate daughter.
But is that possible?
Twenty-five years ago, Cao Zhen had married Guan Ya, and Jiang Chengyun had married Zhou Peng. If Su Hongxing was indeed Cao Zhen’s biological daughter, it would mean both partners were unfaithful…
Upon this thought, Ye Qilan closed the confidential file on Cao Zhen, “Destroy this file and pretend this never happened.”
He did not want to further complicate matters. Whoever Su Hongxing’s birth parents were, it no longer mattered.
They gave birth to her but did not raise her; she was no different from an orphan.
Now, Su Hongxing was simply his woman, Ye Qilan’s, not anyone else’s.
When Ye Qilan went to the master bedroom, he found that Su Hongxing was sleeping again.
Her nose was delicate, her lips were small, her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows curved. The more he looked, the more beautiful she seemed.
He poked her pink and tender face, but she impatiently slapped his hand away.
After being nursed back to health for a while, she looked much better.
“Get up, I’ll take you out for a stroll, aren’t you bored staying at home all day?” said Ye Qilan, pulling Su Hongxing.
Su Hongxing once again slapped his hand away and crawled back into her blanket.
“I’ll take you shopping, whatever you want, I’ll buy for you.” Ye Qilan promised.
The previously closed-eyed Su Hongxing suddenly opened her eyes, her moist eyes looking at him: “Really?”
Ye Qilan was pleasantly surprised; this was the first time she had spoken to him today.
“Of course it’s true! Whatever you want, I’ll buy for you, as long as I can afford it.” Ye Qilan asserted confidently.
Su Hongxing’s eyes flickered, “Let’s talk about it tonight. I want to sleep now.”
Ye Qilan happily agreed.
This was a good sign. Even though the current Su Hongxing was very strange and had a peculiar temperament, he still hoped that she could return to her previous self.
If Su Hongxing could not get back to normal after a while, he planned to adopt a child.
Of course, this was his last resort.
All day long, besides eating, Su Hongxing spent her time sleeping.
Liu Qingyin said Su Hongxing had psychological problems. Ye Qilan refused to admit it, but he knew that Liu Qingyin’s words were reasonable.
The state of Su Hongxing’s mental health was indeed worrisome. Maybe he should ask Sheng Yalun to treat Su Hongxing.
After dinner, Su Hongxing was eager to go out.
Ye Qilan had no idea what she was planning to do that made her so excited. He felt that it had been a long time since he had seen her so excited, which made him curious.
