After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage
Chapter 268 - Chapter 268 Chapter 268 Chen Baos Birth Mother... Appears

Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Chen Bao’s Birth Mother… Appears! Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Chen Bao’s Birth Mother… Appears! “Ding-ling-ling…” Just as she was about to make breakfast, the phone suddenly rang.

The screen flashed with the name Mo Baiyou.

Ning Yichu answered with surprise, tentatively calling out, “Mr. Mo?”

“Chu Chu, I just saw your leave request. Are you feeling unwell?” Mo Baiyou asked with concern.

Ning Yichu’s expression paused, her face turning pale as she thought of the recent events, “No, just a bit of family trouble.”

All Mo Baiyou knew was that something had happened to the Li Family yesterday, related to kidnappers.

But what exactly had occurred, because it was an internal affair of the Li Family, he was still in the dark.

He had not been particularly concerned, but now that Ning Yichu had taken a day off, he couldn’t help but connect the two events!

Mo Baiyou’s tone was cautious, “Is there anything I can help with?”

Her issues weren’t the kind someone else could solve.

Nevertheless, Ning Yichu was grateful, “I can manage for now.”

Mo Baiyou felt a bitterness in his heart, somewhat upset, “Alright, but remember, no matter what happens, I’ll always be on your side.”

…

Aing Cafe.

More than an hour had passed beyond the agreed time.

Li Lingyang still hadn’t seen Ning Yichu show up.

He wanted to find her, to settle down and talk things through seriously.

But now, it seemed like Ning Yichu was determined to cut off all contact with him…

Li Lingyang felt agitated when suddenly his phone rang with the voice of Special Assistant Xu.

“President Li, the woman from the orphanage has appeared again; we have detained her…”

Li Lingyang’s pupils contracted sharply.

According to Special Assistant Xu’s recent investigations, this woman might very well be Chen Bao’s biological mother!

“I’ll be right there!”

Li Lingyang looked at the empty seat across from him, his gaze darkening as he got up and headed out.

Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the orphanage.

“President Li, she’s inside!” Special Assistant Xu hurried to greet him.

Li Lingyang hummed softly in acknowledgment, pushed the door open, and saw a woman in her late twenties.

With a simple ponytail, a bare face, and wearing extremely plain, cheap clothes, she appeared very thin.

Panic was written all over her face, which only intensified upon seeing Li Lingyang.

“Why have you brought me here?!”

Li Lingyang narrowed his eyes, his long fingers tapping on the table, “I heard you’ve been inquiring about Zhuo Chen?”

The woman stiffened noticeably, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand!”

Li Lingyang glanced at Special Assistant Xu.

The latter understood immediately and placed a document in front of her.

It recorded everything she had done at the orphanage these past few days, including her attempts to learn more about Chen Bao.

At this, the woman’s determined expression faltered, and she fell silent.

The atmosphere in the room froze solid.

“Now, what do you have to say?”

Li Lingyang looked at her with cold eyes and demanded, “Who exactly are you, and why are you looking into Zhuo Chen?”

The overwhelming presence of someone in a position of power surged in like a tempest.

A chill rose from the soles of her feet, creeping up her spine and leaving her shivering, unable to maintain her facade any longer.

Her voice trembling, the woman quickly explained, “Please, don’t misunderstand, I didn’t come here with any ulterior motives, nor did I intend to harm anyone. I just wanted to see my son…”

Li Lingyang tensed sharply, suspicion flashing in his eyes, “Your son?”

“Yes, the Zhuo Chen I’ve been asking about… is actually my son!”

The woman’s face turned pale, she took a deep breath and said, “My name is Chen Hua, four years ago I had to give up my child due to chronic nephritis, unable to care for him, I reluctantly left him at the Zhuo Chen Orphanage. Now that my condition has slightly improved and I can work normally, I wanted to take him back, but… I can’t find any trace of him!”

The more she spoke, the more she began to choke up.

The person in front of her… was Chen Bao’s mother?

The woman he had been with all those years ago?!!

Even though Li Lingyang had suspicions, hearing it firsthand still shook him, leaving him emotionally unsettled.

“So when you left Zhuo Chen here, did you leave any clues?”

“Yes! I left a jade pendant, it’s Hetian jade…”

Chen Hua added, “It’s roughly heart-shaped, half carved with a dragon, half with a phoenix, symbolizing prosperity!”

The jade pendant, that matched, too!

Even so, Li Lingyang still harbored doubts about this woman who had suddenly appeared.

He probed, “Based on your description, since the jade is so precious, how did you come to possess it?”

Chen Hua answered with a straightforward appearance, calmly, “It was a gift from my grandmother! She said it was crafted by a professional Jade Sculptor, a wedding gift from my grandfather…”

Her answer was seamless, and Li Lingyang could not find fault.

So, he focused on the most crucial point–

“Who is Zhuo Chen’s father?”

“I, I don’t know…”

“You don’t know?”

Chen Hua seemed to be reminded of some unpleasant memories, her face growing extremely distressed, “This is a personal privacy matter, I don’t want to talk about it!”

Li Lingyang’s breath halted for a moment, his expression growing progressively complex.

Chen Hua watched him nervously, “Sir, you keep asking about my son, do you have any information about him?”

Li Lingyang did not deny it, hummed softly, and with a swirl of dark light in his eyes, he said, “I do have some clues. If you want to see him, answer my last question honestly. What’s the deal with you and Zhuo Chen’s father?”

Chen Hua looked down, a glint of difficulty passing through her eyes, but with the courage for her child’s sake, she finally spoke up.

“I’m not lying to you, I really don’t know who Zhuo Chen’s father is, because it was… a one-night stand!”

Li Lingyang’s fingers resting under the table clenched into fists involuntarily, the veins on his hands bulging.

“Sir, I have answered all your questions, now you should tell me the clues about Zhuo Chen, right?” Chen Hua asked expectantly.

Li Lingyang slightly squinted, passing a scrutinizing look.

“Zhuo Chen is my son!”

Chen Hua froze as if struck, her face in utter shock, “Then he is now…”

“Also by my side.”

Chen Hua had not expected everything that the mysterious phone call had claimed to be true, and she feigned excitement, “Then, when can I see him?”

Regarding this mother of unclear origins, even though she answered every detail, Li Lingyang always felt something was off.

He had to ensure absolute accuracy, speaking slowly, “No rush, let’s do a paternity test first!”
