CH 54

About ten seconds later, there was no movement from the girl in his arms, as if the sound from earlier was just a dream.

Yu Cheng’s stiff body gradually relaxed. The room’s aroma was sleep-inducing, which was why she slept so soundly every day.

The phone next to her lit up a few times, but there was no sound.

Yu Cheng glanced at the general content on the screen and still reached for it.

After unlocking it, the page stayed on the news webpage, and the search box was filled with “Bai Wantong”.

Yu Cheng pursed his lips and looked at the girl’s peaceful sleeping face.

Ten years ago, all the news had been removed, and it was impossible to find anything after so long.

He took a glance at the search history and then frowned abruptly.

Why was she looking up Zhou Jiang and his psychological clinic?

He hesitated for a few seconds, then opened the messages that had just been received.

The sender was remarked as “detective found online” by Wan Tong.

After Yu Cheng saw this remark, his gaze became colder. He opened a file sent by the other party and browsed it briefly. His expression became even more gloomy in the darkness of the night.

He gently released Wan Tong and got out of bed, walking out.

Late at night, Qian Le received a call from Yu Cheng, asking him to contact a little detective.

He was at a loss, but he could only accept the task obediently. After all, President Yu was the one paying his salary.

As the sky gradually brightened, the first thing Wan Tong did upon waking up was to look to her side.

The pillow and bed were neat and there was no trace of anyone having lain there.

She concentrated and tried to recall. How did she remember Yu Cheng coming and even hugging her?

Was it just a dream?

She remembered that Yu Cheng was wearing white pajamas last night. Maybe she should go and check.

The housekeepers had already cleaned the villa spotless, even the corridor carpet was replaced with new ones.

Wan Tong knocked on Yu Cheng’s room door, but it took a while before someone came to open it.

Yu Cheng, dressed in black pajamas, stood in front of her with an unparalleled handsome face that looked a bit haggard, but it was glowing with the soft morning light. “Good morning, Tongtong.”

Wan Tong glanced at his pajamas and the dark circles under his eyes that he couldn’t hide and said, “Good morning. Did I wake you up? It seems like you haven’t slept well all night?”

Yu Cheng shook his head lightly. “No, I’m a light sleeper. Does Tongtong need something?”

What could she need? She just wanted to confirm whether she had been dreaming last night. She ran her fingers through her hair and shook her head, “No, I’ll go back to bed for a while.”

“En.” Yu Cheng watched her disappear, then closed the door and returned to his bed.

She had been staring at his pajamas just now.

What was she suspicious about?

Yu Cheng sat back on the bed, his head slightly lowered, as if he had turned into a statue and did not move for a long time.

Everyone said that he had a pair of eyes that could see through people’s hearts, but he just couldn’t see through Tongtong’s heart.

Or maybe, it was because he cared too much. Every little movement and expression of hers would give rise to a thousand different interpretations, eventually leading him into an uncontrollable frenzy and rage.

For several days in a row, Wan Tong had been tying a few strands of her hair around the doorknob of her room.

As it turned out, she had been overthinking things. Yu Cheng did not stoop so low as to take advantage of her at night.

However, she was still a bit anxious. She had hired a detective online and waited for several days without getting the results she wanted, so she took the initiative to call the number she had been given.

To her surprise, the number was out of service! She had fallen for a scam!

Although Yu Cheng had given her a black card, being scammed out of money still didn’t feel good. Wan Tong sulked on her own and went on a crazy shopping spree outside.

But she also had a bit of a gain. In a fashion store, she ran into Bai Ziyan’s fiancée.

Ding Rui, Bai Zhiyan’s fiancée, also came from a prestigious family. If you really had to tally it up, their marriage would also be a marriage alliance.

Ding Rui was a spoiled and arrogant young lady who liked to buy things for no reason. She and Wan Tong both had their eyes on the same dress, but neither would give way, and in the end, they tore the dress to shreds.

It is also for this reason that Ding Rui unexpectedly took a liking to Wan Tong and kept asking her to be friends.

Wan Tong, of course, did not refuse and accompanied her to go shopping when she had free time.

When Ding Rui complained about her fiancé Bai Ziyan, Wan Tong said a few words appropriately, “Oh, your husband is Bai Ziyan. Isn’t he managing the Bai family with his sister? That’s impressive. It’s rare to see such harmony in wealthy families, right?”

“Yes, their relationship is very close,” although Ding Rui spoke up for the siblings at the time, Wan Tong knew that Ding Rui must have taken her words to heart.

After all, there were many scandals within the Ding family due to the struggle for family property, and Ding Rui, growing up in such a family, was naturally affected.

As expected, Ding Rui’s visits to Wan Tong gradually decreased, probably because she was busy blowing pillow talk to Bai Ziyan.

Wan Tong was happy and went to the Bai family twice in her free times, but was turned away both times. Jin He also discreetly sent her back home.

Bai family.

After Wan Tong and Father Bai’s DNA test report came out, Bai Wanxin had read it several times and confirmed that the two really had no blood relationship.

At first, she thought it was a matter of course, but later, she was vaguely uneasy.

How could Yu Cheng, as the person with the greatest luck in the world, be such a shallow person who only judged by appearance?

Even if she didn’t intentionally inquire, she knew how Yu Cheng doted on that girl.

“Xinxin, are you sure this report is correct? Is that Wantong really a fake?” Bai Ziyan’s expression was slightly excited.

“She’s definitely not Bai Wantong,” Bai Wanxin replied.

After receiving confirmation, Bai Ziyan was overjoyed. “That’s great. I’ll show this paternity test to the old man. No matter how confused he is, he won’t leave his inheritance to someone without blood relation.”

“Don’t rush, Dad didn’t mention anything about that girl to us. He definitely doesn’t want us to interfere. Didn’t you say that Dad refused to see that girl? Let’s wait and see first.”

“Okay.” Bai Ziyan agreed, but then he looked at her and asked, “Xinxin, you keep calling him ‘Dad’. Do you really consider yourself a part of the Bai family?”

Bai Wanxin glanced at him. “What do you want to say, Brother?”

Bai Ziyan chuckled. “Nothing much. I just wanted to remind you that we’re just step-children after all.”

“Of course I know that,” Bai Wanxin said impatiently. In this world, she considered herself superior to others and didn’t like being told how to do things.

She preferred taking things step by step, like boiling a frog in warm water, and the 50 favorability value she gained was proof of her success.

Bai Ziyan’s face changed slightly, but he quickly smiled again, “The old man went to the Yu Group, why don’t you go and join in the fun?”

Previously, Father Bai had wanted to matchmake Bai Wanxin with Yu Cheng, so sometimes he would take her along when he went to Yu Cheng’s place.

But in the past month, Father Bai had not taken her out at all.

What Bai Ziyan said was like a dagger plunged into Bai Wanxin’s heart.

Bai Wanxin sneered inwardly and cursed “idiot,” but she didn’t show it on the surface.

As soon as Bai Ziyan left, Bai Wanxin suddenly received a long-lost notification from the system, [Yu Cheng’s favorability -10, current favorability value is 40.]

After being stunned for two full seconds, Bai Wanxin finally reacted, and then her anger ignited like a flame.

“Crack!” The sound of a vase and heavy object falling to the ground came from the bedroom.

Bai Ziyan, who had not gone far, turned around and looked back. Through the still open door, he heard Bai Wanxin’s angry voice, “Ah!”

Sure enough, his little sister was not an easy person to deal with. He had been manipulated by her in the past, but his fiancée had recently reminded him of this, and he finally realized how foolish he had been to let his sister manipulate him.

He has the support of the Ding family, so isn’t it simple for him to completely control the Bai family? His sister also seems ambitious, so he must be on guard against her.

Wan Tong was called out by Ding Rui once again. Ding Rui seemed relaxed and pleased this time, probably because things were going well with Bai Ziyan.

“Wantong, come with me to do some spa, I haven’t had a good rest lately because of Bai Ziyan’s affairs, and my pores feel enlarged!” Ding Rui said as she pulled Wan Tong’s hand.

Wan Tong shook her head, “I don’t do spa outside.”

“Oh, I forgot you have a cleanliness obsession, then how do you take care of yourself normally?”

“Ah, I have someone come to do it at home.”

“…Hey, that’s a good idea, I should learn from you.”

“Let’s go buy some clothes today.” Wan Tong suggested.

Ding Rui was easiest to talk to when buying things.

Wan Tong wanted to know whether Bai Ziyan was determined to confront Bai Wanxin.

If Bai Wanxin wants to cultivate Bai Ziyan as the second boss, then Wan Tong will strive to turn him into Bai Wanxin’s mortal enemy and let Bai Wanxin taste the bitterness of being bitten back.

Meanwhile, Wan Tong was carrying out her own little plan, going on a crazy shopping spree at the mall, and a list of shopping transactions was sent to Yu Cheng.

At that moment, Father Bai was in Yu Cheng’s office and couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the list spread out by Qian Le. “Tongtong’s old habit is still there. When she’s unhappy, she wants to buy things to vent.”

Qian Le knew Father Bai quite well, but never expected that Father Bai also knew President Yu’s little sweetheart, and Father Bai’s tone just now was really doting.

“She’ll regret it again tonight,” Yu Cheng said in a low voice, scanning the items on the list with a glimmer in his eyes.

Father Bai laughed, “When the time comes, you can ask Assistant Qian to help her return the items if she wants to. Otherwise, if she’s holding back her regret, it won’t be good.”

“Yeah.” Yu Cheng nodded, his eyes softened.

Qian Le listened to their conversation and sighed inwardly. Why not let him work as an assistant for President Yu’s little sweetheart?

“Ah Cheng, I recently released news that I want to revise my will. It’s really like what you said, the Bai family is not as peaceful as I thought it would be. I’ve been careless in recent years…” Father Bai’s face didn’t look good.

“If you need it, Uncle Bai, I can help you investigate,” Yu Cheng said.

Father Bai waved his hand, “No need, I’ll handle the Bai family’s matters on my own.”

Yu Cheng looked at Father Bai, but didn’t say anything.

Father Bai didn’t stay long, and after he left, Qian Le handed a document to Yu Cheng, “President Yu, this is a test report intercepted from Bai Wanxin.”

Although they had already suspected that Bai Wanxin had bribed Kong Jing, President Yu had never exposed it. But this time, Bai Wanxin went too far by having Kong Jing steal Wan Tong’s hair for a DNA test.

Yu Cheng took out the paper from the document bag and quickly scanned it. Then his gaze deepened, “Was the report swapped with a fake one?”

“It was swapped, but President Yu, why do you do this? Doesn’t Mr. Bai want to acknowledge his daughter?” Qian Le couldn’t resist his curiosity.

He had also seen the results on the report just now. It turned out that President Yu’s little sweetheart and Mr. Bai were actually father and daughter.

“It’s good this way.” Yu Cheng replied vaguely.

Qian Le didn’t ask further, as it seemed that Mr. Bai and President Yu had already reached some kind of consensus.
