Chapter 733: Chapter 733: He is indeed Quan Jinbei’s biological son

"How could an illegitimate child get along with a stepmother?"

Cheng Linye had actually been persuaded by Bai Tangyuan.

He of course knew that Bai Tangyuan was not Quan Jinbei’s illegitimate child.

But...

That didn’t prevent him from understanding Bai Tangyuan’s thoughts.

If it hadn’t been for Shi Yaoguang’s interference, Bai Tangyuan could have easily claimed the identity of Quan Jinbei’s illegitimate child.

With the Quan Family’s wealth rivaling that of a nation, the benefits of being the Quan Family’s illegitimate child would be endless.

Even if he had been given the choice from the beginning, he would have wanted to be The Quan Family’s illegitimate child.

Alas...

With his age, there was simply no way to replace that identity.

At his age, going to the Quan Family, at most he could only be seen as the Quan patriarch’s illegitimate child.

But the old man has no real power in his hands.

Being his illegitimate child would be a waste of talent.

He definitely didn’t want to belittle himself.

To this, Bai Tangyuan was very understanding.

He immediately began to "conspire" with him.

In front of the live streaming camera, Bai Tangyuan tempted Cheng Linye to join forces against Shi Yaoguang.

"Uncle, you know my identity, and I have guessed yours."

"We are like grasshoppers on the same rope, if we don’t cooperate well, we’ll both be letting down our fate, don’t you think?"

There was indeed some truth to that.

However...

Seeing his hesitation, Bai Tangyuan decided to apply a stronger dose, "Uncle, your original path to riches and honor was blocked by her, don’t you hate her? As long as you’re willing, I can join you and we can kill her!"

When Cheng Linye heard the last three words, his face showed a look of surprise, "What did you say?"

Bai Tangyuan repeated with his soft voice, "Let’s take her out together!"

"If you can’t do it, I will."

The little guy said, suddenly grinning, "I’m still a kid, even if I kill someone, it won’t be a big deal, Uncle, what do you think?"

Cheng Linye: "..."

Damn it.

Suddenly regretted provoking such a little lunatic.

Bai Tangyuan urged him on, "Uncle? What do you think of my idea?"

Cheng Linye: "..."

Bai Tangyuan continued, "Uncle?"

Cheng Linye swallowed hard and looked at Shi Yaoguang, who had been silent all this time, "Did you hear everything Bai Tangyuan said?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded.

Cheng Linye continued, "And you still want to save him?"

Shi Yaoguang gave him a sidelong glance, "What else?"

"Aren’t you afraid this little wolf pup will turn and kill you?" Cheng Linye spoke, his tone carrying a hint of excitement.

Shi Yaoguang countered, "Do you think he can kill me?"

Cheng Linye: "..."

Although he didn’t know this woman’s background, but...

He was very clear that Bai Tangyuan, this little pup, had absolutely no way of killing her.

This realization deeply frustrated him.

Shi Yaoguang glanced at him, "Young man, you’d better not dream unrealistic dreams."

Cheng Linye: "..."

He felt offended.

The live streaming audience was puzzled by this development.

What exactly was going on?

Were they going to fight or not?

And then there was...

Was Bai Tangyuan serious with what he said just now, or was he just tricking Cheng Linye?

While the audience was confused, the lookout shouted again, "Boss, someone else is coming!"

This time, the audience speculated blindly, guessing that the newcomer was Quan Jinbei.

Very soon.

This answer was confirmed.

They guessed correctly.

The person who arrived was indeed Quan Jinbei.

Upon learning it was Quan Jinbei, Cheng Linye immediately became excited.

His tone was extremely nasty, "Third Master Quan has arrived, you say, if he knows you’re vicious enough to not even tolerate your own son, will he forgive you?"

"Why do you think he would believe your words, think that Bai Tangyuan is his son?"

Shi Yaoguang said, taking a step closer to him, her voice pressed very low—inaudible to the live broadcast, yet Cheng Linye heard it loud and clear, "Bai Tangyuan is different from you; he is indeed Quan Jinbei’s biological son."

Cheng Linye’s eyes widened immediately.

A look of seeing a ghost.

Although he kept saying Bai Tangyuan was Quan Jinbei’s son, he was the first to disbelieve it.

Now, Shi Yaoguang had personally admitted it.

This was simply inconceivable to him.

Cheng Linye might say Bai Tangyuan was Quan Jinbei’s son, but no one knew better than he that Bai Tangyuan was cut from the same cloth as himself.

To put it bluntly, they were produced from the same assembly line—how could they not know each other?

Now, Shi Yaoguang was saying that Bai Tangyuan truly was Quan Jinbei’s own, which sounded completely unreliable no matter how you listened to it.

Yet he felt it could be possible.

The whispers Shi Yaoguang shared with him, Jinbei heard as well.

Although he did not know the purpose behind Shi Yaoguang’s words, he was also willing to cooperate.

Immediately, he showed a wary expression to Cheng Linye,

As if he were afraid Cheng Linye might see through something.

When Cheng Linye met his gaze, he felt an instant understanding.

It seemed Shi Yaoguang hadn’t lied; Bai Tangyuan really was Quan Jinbei’s son.

This truth truly caught him off guard.

According to Cheng Linye’s original thoughts, having the public mistakenly believe Bai Tangyuan was Quan Jinbei’s son was already quite good.

Now it seemed, perhaps Shi Yaoguang thought the same.

What she wanted was for this matter to be exposed.

As for why Shi Yaoguang would do this?

Probably because of...

...a woman’s jealousy.

Although he was not a woman,

He felt he understood women quite well.

The moment this occurred to him, Cheng Linye immediately started feeling smug.

What if Shi Yaoguang was formidable?

When it came to her own affairs, wasn’t she still reduced to begging him for help?

With this thought, Cheng Linye could not help but display a self-superior expression,

Looking at Shi Yaoguang, he added a trace of contempt to his gaze.

He originally thought Shi Yaoguang was a person of great integrity.

Now it seemed, not so much.

No matter how tough a woman is, when facing love, she is still blind.

Just so she could be with Quan Jinbei, even if he had an illegitimate child, she would have no choice but to accept it without a word.

Cheng Linye’s expressions were too obvious, and Shi Yaoguang knew exactly what he was thinking.

This was precisely the result she wanted.

Cheng Linye and the illegitimate daughters he had colluded with, although not very harmful, were disturbing.

If she could deal with it all at once, of course it would be better to resolve it directly, rather than allow them to continue causing trouble before her eyes—that wasn’t her style.

Cheng Linye had no idea that he had already fallen into the trap meticulously prepared by Shi Yaoguang,

And was still self-congratulating on his discovery.

No matter how formidable Shi Yaoguang was, wasn’t she still only capable of compromising herself for a man?

He was different though.

He was the man who could make Shi Yaoguang swallow a defeat.

Cheng Linye thought, and couldn’t help but lean close to her ear smugly, lowering his voice to threaten her, "Just promise to listen to me from now on, and I can help you conceal Bai Tangyuan’s identity, otherwise, I’ll tell everyone."
