Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Scandal is Making a Fuss_1
About an hour later, Guan Ya put the paternity test back into the safe.
She stayed up all night to find someone who could get Su Hongxing’s personnel files, which led her to Su Hongxing’s mother Jiang Chengyun.
As she looked at the smiling, radiant image of Jiang Chengyun, she touched her own face.
No wonder Cao Zhen always loved seeing her laugh over the years, because her laugh resembled that of Jiang Chengyun.
Thinking back, she deluded herself into believing that Cao Zhen’s frequent daydreaming while looking at her was due to his admiration for her, only to discover she was merely Jiang Chengyun’s substitute in his eyes.
She suspected why Cao Zhen chose her among so many girls from influential families. Her family was not as affluent, nor was she exceptionally beautiful, yet she owed it all to her smile, which seemed similar to that of Jiang Chengyun.
After going through all the information she wanted, Guan Ya destroyed the documents, pretending that nothing had happened.
The best thing she had learnt over the years was how to put on a facade of tranquillity. She had spent the first half of her life doing so, and she would continue in the same manner until the end.
Cao Shiyu still was not resigned to her fate. She tried to persuade Guan Ya as quickly as possible, considering she had to work as a servant in Shallow Bay.
Guan Ya gently patted Cao Shiyu’s hand, “My daughter, accept your fate. Once Su Hongxing moves in, let go of your resentment. Get along well with Su Hongxing as sisters…”
In response, the sound of Cao Shiyu slamming the door echoed.
With Guan Ya left alone in the vacant house, she felt hollow, just like her surroundings. If she didn’t resign to her fate, what else could she do? She just didn’t want Shiyu to oppose Su Hongxing any longer.
She had spent decades unable to triumph over Jiang Chengyun, and she didn’t want Shiyu to waste another couple of decades, only to be heavily defeated by Su Hongxing in the end…

Within a few days, Ye Qilan’s daily dating scandals with different women were the talk of the town.
Even with only a side profile shown in the news, everyone recognized that the ‘Casanova’ was none other than Ye Qilan, the handsome young heir of the Ye Family.
Not having returned home for several consecutive days, Ye Qilan became the highlight of tabloid gossips.
Liu Qingyin found it hard to avoid such updates.
Once while she was viewing the news and simultaneously reprimanding Ye Qilan, Su Hongxing happened to walk in. Caught red-handed, she couldn’t even close the webpage in time.
“The camera angle is pretty good,” Su Hongxing said, seeing the guilty expression on Liu Qingyin’s face. Her demeanor was calm and composed.
Liu Qingyin was frustrated. Seeing her discomfort, Su Hongxing sat beside her, lightly touching her head, “I know you’ve been secretly checking these news. I saw it too, but didn’t fret about it.”
She knew what kind of person Ye Qilan was.
“Sister, we should….” escape.
But Su Hongxing was pregnant, and fleeing at this time could affect the child.
“I’ll be going out for a while and will be back soon. Wait for me at home.” Su Hongxing stood up and smiled at Liu Qingyin.
Liu Qingyin knitted her brows, “Why do you go out every day, sister?”
The past few days, Su Hongxing had been stepping out frequently. Although someone accompanied her each time, she would never let Liu Qingyin accompany her. Liu Qingyin couldn’t shake off the feeling that Su Hongxing was hiding something from her.
Especially since she knew that Su Hongxing wasn’t in the right state of mind, she was scared that Su would do something unthinkable.
“It’ll only be half an hour, I’ll be back soon. Behave and wait at home.” Su Hongxing moved farther away with a spring in her step.
Liu Qingyin stared blankly at Su Hongxing’s receding figure.
On the surface, Su Hongxing didn’t seem to have any issues. She could eat and sleep properly, with a rosy complexion, but Liu Qingyin felt there was something wrong.
This time, she decided to follow Su Hongxing quietly.
Su Hongxing exited her house and entered a 24-hour convenience store. After about ten minutes, she came out and a servant was waiting outside.
Next, Su Hongxing returned to her villa without anything unusual happening.
