After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 728: You don’t think Shi Yaoguang is my mommy, do you?

Chapter 728: Chapter 728: You don’t think Shi Yaoguang is my mommy, do you?

The news that Bai Tangyuan is Quan Jinbei’s illegitimate child swept across the internet like wildfire.

From marketing accounts to the belief of everyone, it only took a short day for the father-son relationship between Bai Tangyuan and Quan Jinbei to be established.

Now, the hottest gossip is undoubtedly about Quan Jinbei and his illegitimate child.

And...

Did the Best Actress Shi Yaoguang know that Lord Quan had an illegitimate child?

Will the Best Actress get a divorce from Lord Quan?

Will the Best Actress stand up for women’s rights?

Or will she meekly pretend that nothing ever happened?

All sorts of speculation circulated online, but in real life...

Nobody dared to bring up such topics in front of Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei.

Even speculating was out of the question.

After all, was this something they could just casually guess about?

If they guessed wrong, no...

Everyone vividly remembered the way Shi Yaoguang dealt with those illegitimate children before.

If they also ended up being targets of Shi Yaoguang’s cleanup, they would be left without a place to even cry.

After all, even official interventions might not save someone from Shi Yaoguang’s hands.

In such a scenario, would you dare to provoke Shi Yaoguang?

That would be asking for trouble.

But even if no one spoke of it directly, that didn’t mean the issue didn’t exist.

The identity of Bai Tangyuan was still a sensitive matter.

The paternity test between Bai Tangyuan and Quan Jinbei doesn’t necessarily mean anything.

After all...

Every family with a history of illegitimate children knows that.

However, if this matter were to be widely publicized now, it could potentially cause public panic.

There was also Zhao Muze to consider.

He planned to use the remaining illegitimate children to stir up trouble.

If the falsification about the identity of illegitimate children were to be exposed, it could render his scheming useless.

Due to these concerns, Shi Yaoguang truly didn’t know how to clarify Bai Tangyuan’s identity for the time being.

Quan Jinbei felt helpless.

He wanted to tell everyone that Bai Tangyuan had nothing to do with him.

But no one believed him.

Not to mention the paternity test, just the resemblance between Bai Tangyuan’s face and Quan Jinbei’s was strong enough to be convincing.

Who would believe that they’re not father and son?

Bai Ruoxi was also at a loss.

When she originally planned to associate with Quan Jinbei, Bai Tangyuan’s resemblance to him was convenient for her.

But now...

It had become a problem.

Many netizens suspected that Bai Ruoxi’s denial of Bai Tangyuan being Quan Jinbei’s son wasn’t because he really wasn’t.

Her silence was merely due to a humiliating love,

out of fear to speak.

If she spoke out, who knows if she would become an outcast, but for Quan Jinbei, it would certainly be troublesome.

As a devoted lover, how could she bear to see Quan Jinbei trapped in a difficult situation?

Therefore, even if all the evidence proved that Bai Tangyuan was Quan Jinbei’s son, she resolutely denied it.

Many people felt sympathy for her.

Of course, there were also people who looked down upon her.

"This man has hurt her so much, and yet she still sides with him."

"She’s a disgrace to all women!"

To this, Bai Ruoxi was really at a loss for words.

What could she do?

The things she said, nobody believed them at all!

Now, she truly had to feel grateful that Shi Yaoguang was a good person.

Otherwise, in facing this kind of situation, wouldn’t she have been torn to pieces alive by the legal wife?

Bai Tangyuan was Quan Jinbei’s illegitimate son, and the paternity test had caused quite a stir.

Shi Fan naturally also knew about it, and he was now with Cheng Lingdang.

Cheng Lingdang phoned Shi Yaoguang to find out what was really going on.

"Master, how are you and Mistress planning to deal with Bai Tangyuan’s issue?"

The Cheng Family had previously had an "illegitimate child," so Cheng Lingdang was naturally aware that Bai Tangyuan wasn’t Quan Jinbei’s son.

But...

It was no use just her knowing; the public wouldn’t believe something without evidence.

"If there’s anything I can do to help, Master, please do not be polite with me. I promise to be there the moment you need me!"

Upon hearing Cheng Lingdang say this, Shi Yaoguang felt a deep sense of relief, "Don’t worry, I can handle the situation; you just focus on your cultivation on the island."

Cheng Lingdang responded, and then as if she thought of something, said, "Master, Shen Huan has been idle lately, and it seems he’s also in the Imperial Capital. If you run into any troublesome matters, you can direct him."

After Cheng Lingdang finished speaking, Shen Antai’s voice also interjected, "Master, that kid Shen Huan has thick skin and tough flesh, use him however you want, and definitely don’t be polite with me!"

Hearing this, Cheng Lingdang couldn’t help but laugh.

Shi Fan, on the other end of the phone, complained, "You as a grandfather are really unreliable, aren’t you? Although I’m willing to do anything for my sister, where is there a grandfather like you who sells out his own grandson? That’s too much."

Shen Antai didn’t take it to heart, "Being able to help Master is a privilege for Shen Huan; what’s there to hum and haw about?"

Shi Fan argued with him for a bit and then surprisingly discovered that what Shen Antai said made a lot of sense.

"You’re right!" Shi Fan was successfully convinced by Shen Antai and treated Shen Huan as an errand boy, "Sister, when you see Shen Huan, don’t be polite with him. It’s only right for him to do some work, and if he feels aggrieved, just tell him that it’s all his grandfather’s idea!"

"Umm... and my idea, too!" Shi Fan added, waving his little fist, "If he doesn’t listen, the next time I see him, I’ll definitely beat him up!"

Listening to this, Shi Yaoguang lit a candle for Shen Huan in her heart.

An errand boy...

Poor thing.

Shen Huan, however, had no idea that he had just been sold out by his grandfather.

He had indeed come to the Imperial Capital, but he had serious matters to attend to.

What was he doing in the Imperial Capital, you ask?

Alright.

He was actually there to find Shi Yaoguang.

After Shi Yaoguang took her college entrance exam early and came to the Imperial Capital, he also worked hard, and his grades were good enough for Emperor University.

However, he didn’t choose Emperor University, but instead, a college with a higher specialization, also among the top-ranked universities.

Coming to find Shi Yaoguang this time, he encountered some academic issues.

What he hadn’t anticipated was that before he could resolve his own problems, he was already sold out by his grandfather.

When Shen Huan, dressed in a white shirt, appeared at the villa’s entrance and saw Bai Tangyuan, who looked almost like a carbon copy of Quan Jinbei, he was momentarily stunned.

Unexpectedly, Bai Tangyuan wasn’t the least bit shy with him, reaching out and pulling him in.

"You’re Shen Huan, right?"

Shen Huan nodded, somewhat surprised, "You know me?"

"Of course!"

The little guy was full of confidence, "Not only do I know you, but my mommy also knows you!"

"Your mommy?" Shen Huan thought of the news he had seen online and asked uncertainly, "Is your mommy Bai Ruoxi?"

"Who else would it be?" Bai Tangyuan looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot, "You couldn’t possibly believe the messages online, thinking that Aunt Yao Guang is my mommy, could you?"
