Chapter 732: Chapter 732: How Can the Illegitimate Child Get Along Well With the Stepmother?

That being said, Bai Tangyuan is still an adorable little child.

It’s perfectly normal that he doesn’t understand these common-sense things.

With that in mind, everyone expressed their understanding towards him, Bai Tangyuan.

However, watching Bai Tangyuan demand a blood test to determine kinship with such righteousness, they couldn’t help but feel a bit of schadenfreude.

"Little guy, a blood test to determine kinship with Shang Minghao isn’t realistic. As long as the blood types are the same..."

Bai Tangyuan didn’t let him finish, interrupting, "No more excuses, I don’t want to hear it!"

"Could it be that you don’t want others to know that I’m actually your son, so you’re deliberately spreading rumors about me and Uncle Quan? Speaking of which, my relationship with Uncle Quan should be the most clear-cut."

"You know full well I’m not his biological child, yet you insist on making people think I am his illegitimate, all for his inheritance."

"Tell me, did you know all along that I am your son, and in order to have me help you seize Uncle Quan’s inheritance, you deliberately spread the rumor that I am Uncle Quan’s son?"

Narrator: "..."

Audience: "..."

You have to admit, the argument was pretty logical.

Suddenly, everyone wanted to see what the narrator looked like.

Maybe, just maybe, Bai Tangyuan really is the child of the narrator.

While everyone’s minds were wandering, Shi Yaoguang’s car had already stopped outside the abandoned factory.

"Boss! A car’s approaching!"

The lookout spotted it immediately.

At this news, the boss’s expression turned serious in an instant.

"What car?"

No sooner had the narrator spoken than a graceful figure appeared in their line of sight.

This was...

Shi Yaoguang!

Shi Yaoguang had also been watching the livestream. The sound from the livestream room had been processed, distorting the original quality of the voices.

Upon seeing the person, Shi Yaoguang recognized them. The owner of the narrator’s voice in the livestream room was none other than her old acquaintance, Cheng Linye.

Speaking of Cheng Linye, everyone should be familiar with him by now.

He is the illegitimate child who appeared at the Cheng Family a while ago, nearly tearing Cheng Lingdang’s family apart.

Logically, he should be behind bars right now.

After all, the crime of stealing the Cheng Family’s official seal was severe enough to land him several years in prison.

However, he was, after all, someone Zhao Muze had gone to great lengths to cultivate. It’s understandable that he wouldn’t be taken down so easily.

As Shi Yaoguang sized up Cheng Linye, his thoughts raced.

Being one of the members of the illegitimate child group, he, of course, knew that Bai Tangyuan was not the illegitimate child of Quan Jinbei.

His previous actions were merely meant to mislead others.

The uninformed could be misled by him, but it was not necessarily the case that Shi Yaoguang, a party involved, would believe his words.

Deceiving her wouldn’t be easy.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he had no intention of deceiving her.

"Mrs. Quan, long time no see."

His myriad thoughts were nothing but a fleeting moment.

Cheng Linye soon greeted Shi Yaoguang.

The other two people who had participated in the kidnapping with him were, just like him, illegitimate children whose identities were exposed by Shi Yaoguang.

Seeing her now, they were all in a state of bitter enmity, their hostility vivid in their eyes.

Since Shi Yaoguang had managed to cut off their source of income, she naturally wasn’t worried about their retaliation.

She smiled faintly, "Long time no see, Mr. Cheng."

Upon hearing this greeting, Cheng Linye’s face twisted momentarily.

The people in the live broadcast could only hear their voices but weren’t able to see their figures.

However, from the exchange between the two, it wasn’t difficult to infer a fact.

That was...

Shi Yaoguang knew the person who kidnapped Bai Tangyuan.

Just as this thought crossed their minds, they heard the previous narrator, Mr. Cheng, say, "Mrs. Quan, I’ve kidnapped Bai Tangyuan just as you wished. The benefits you promised before, you’re not going to renege on them, right?"

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone was stunned.

Barrage:

"Did I hear that wrong?"

"What does it mean to kidnap Bai Tangyuan as per Shi Yaoguang’s wishes? Could it be that Bai Tangyuan’s kidnapping was orchestrated by her? But isn’t she supposed to have a good relationship with Bai Tangyuan?"

"Those who say they have a good relationship are just fooling you naive fools."

"How could a legitimate wife have a good relationship with an illegitimate child?"

"Wasn’t it said that Bai Tangyuan isn’t Quan Jinbei’s illegitimate child?"

"You believe he is not an illegitimate child just because they say so? That’s too naive, look, isn’t it a slap in the face now?"

"Shi Yaoguang isn’t that kind of person, right? Even if she really couldn’t accept the existence of an illegitimate child, she wouldn’t have someone kidnap Bai Tangyuan."

"If it was a premeditated kidnapping, why not just kill and be done with it? No one would have suspected her at all, so why make it live?"

"Exactly, now that it’s live, all of us know Bai Tangyuan’s kidnapping is related to her, can her goal still be achieved?"

"You all haven’t realized, this is clearly the kidnapper leading the disaster elsewhere, right? Before Shi Yaoguang appeared, the kidnapper’s attitude was to let Bai Tangyuan be left here to fend for himself. Ultimately, what the kidnapper wanted was for Quan Jinbei to acknowledge Bai Tangyuan as his illegitimate child and come to rescue him personally. Now that Quan Jinbei hasn’t come and Shi Yaoguang has, he deliberately said that kind of thing to make people misunderstand Shi Yaoguang."

"What a messy circle..."

"I don’t understand, I don’t understand, why was Bai Tangyuan kidnapped in the first place?"

While the barrage was in full swing, Shi Yaoguang spoke up.

"Mr. Cheng, what are you joking about? When did I ever ask you to kidnap Tangyuan?"

Cheng Linye snorted coldly, "Mrs. Quan is saying this as if she doesn’t want to acknowledge it. You wouldn’t think that you ordered us to kidnap Bai Tangyuan and we wouldn’t keep any evidence, would you?"

"Evidence?" Shi Yaoguang looked genuinely curious, "I’m actually quite interested in what evidence you claim to have."

Cheng Linye sneered, "It seems Mrs. Quan won’t shed a tear until she sees the coffin. Since you deny ordering us to deal with Bai Tangyuan, there’s nothing I can do but..."

He said this while glancing at Bai Tangyuan, "Kid, did you hear that? Your stepmother won’t admit that she ordered me to kidnap you. Since she won’t admit it, I’ll have to just kill you."

Bai Tangyuan was stunned, "If she doesn’t admit it, why would you kill me?"

Cheng Linye chuckled darkly, "Of course, because you’re no longer of any use, boy. Remember, if you die, it’s all because of her."

Bai Tangyuan’s eyes spun cunningly, sounding pitifully aggrieved, "Uncle, I think there’s a problem with how you’re handling this."

"Hmm?"

"You said she hired you to kidnap me, and now she won’t admit it. Are you guys at an impasse?"

Bai Tangyuan continued persuasively, "Since you can’t come to terms with her, you could abandon the deal with her! How about this, you make a deal with me instead? If you can’t reach an agreement with her, you can talk to me!"

"Make a deal with you?" Cheng Linye’s eyes narrowed, seemingly considering the feasibility of this deal.

Bai Tangyuan nodded vigorously, "Yes! I can work with you against her! You said it yourself, she’s my stepmother. How could an illegitimate child get along well with a stepmother? Wouldn’t you agree?"
