Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Suspicion

Moreover, Lu Youxi wouldn’t think Lu Youzhen’s issues would bring shame upon herself.

Lu Youzhen is Lu Youzhen, and she is her.

Zhou Shuyan was holding Lu Youxi’s hand and murmured in a low voice, "I just received the news this morning."

"What?" Lu Youxi asked curiously.

"The child that Lu Youzhen gave birth to is very likely not Lin Jingshen’s." Zhou Shuyan revealed the shocking news with a nonchalant and indifferent tone that left Lu Youxi so astonished she lost her speech for a moment.

"What the hell?" Lu Youxi was so shocked she stopped walking, stood still, and stared at Zhou Shuyan in disbelief. "You checked?"

"To be one hundred percent sure, I’m having someone conduct a paternity test with that child and the suspected father," Zhou Shuyan said.

"When we went back to Hexing Village for the New Year’s, Lu Youzhen had just become pregnant, remember how I sent someone to investigate?" Zhou Shuyan said, "It turns out there was a period of time when Lu Youzhen was particularly close to a schoolmate named Shim Xiagang."

"According to the timing of her delivery, back then, she should have been at the hottest point of her relationship with Shim Xiagang." Zhou Shuyan said, "Also, my people have already retrieved her hotel stay records with Shim Xiagang. And during that time, she conveniently wasn’t with Lin Jingshen."

"However, what’s more coincidental is that not long after, she got together with Lin Jingshen. So, if we trace back the timeline, the conception date didn’t raise any suspicions from the Lin Family."

"The Lin Family doesn’t know about Lu Youzhen and Shim Xiagang, but I had someone dig into her affair with Shim Xiagang over the New Year’s, and that’s how we uncovered all this," Zhou Shuyan explained.

"Moreover, shortly after Lu Youzhen returned to the Imperial Capital from the New Year’s, she met with Shim Xiagang at a club. It was quite a secluded place." But no matter how concealed, Zhou Shuyan still managed to discover it.

"Later, Shim Xiagang contacted an OB/GYN," Zhou Shuyan said.

"I couldn’t find more specific details since it involved the doctor’s own career, and they were very cautious and tight-lipped," Zhou Shuyan continued, "But I guess, it’s either about confirming the child’s gender or something regarding the child’s age in months."

"In any case, it’s bound to be about these issues," Zhou Shuyan stated.

Lu Youzhen still didn’t have a clue that Zhou Shuyan had already thoroughly investigated and analyzed her inside out.

"So now we’re just missing the last step, to get the DNA of Lu Youzhen’s child, Shim Xiagang, and Lin Jingshen to test it and know the result."

"Although the result is still unknown, I bet it’s almost certain," Zhou Shuyan remarked.

"I can’t just go to the Lin Family and tell them to marry off Lu Youzhen, it would seem too deliberate," Zhou Shuyan stated.

"But today presented itself as a chance, so I casually brought it up," Zhou Shuyan said with a slight smile, "Lin Jingshen has disgusted us time and again, it’s only right to give him a taste of his own medicine, to let him know what it feels like to be disgusted by others."

Zhou Shuyan felt that this time Lin Jingshen would probably feel even more disgusted than ever before.

Lu Youxi’s voice sounded incredulous, "Lu Youzhen really played a big game this time."

Zhou Shuyan remarked: "Lin Jingshen and Lu Youzhen are truly a perfect match."

"The Lin Family thinks I am your incompetent husband, plotting to have you divorce me and marry Lin Jingshen, then aim for the company in your hands. As for Lu Youzhen, she gave birth to another man’s son, attempting to let her lover’s child inherit the Lin Family’s wealth, conspiring with her lover over the Lin Family’s property."

"All are scheming for things that don’t belong to them," Zhou Shuyan said.

Lu Youxi had no doubt as to why Lu Youzhen would go through so much trouble for Shim Xiagang.

Because without explanation, Lu Youxi could guess, on her own, Lu Youzhen had no capacity to pull such strings.

It was certainly Shim Xiagang who was making more of an effort, deceiving the Lin Family, arranging for the doctor.

What was in it for Shim Xiagang to go to such lengths?

He was still a student himself, obviously not wanting to take responsibility for Lu Youzhen and the child.

Then, the only explanation would be the allure of profit.

Lu Youzhen must have promised Shim Xiagang a substantial share of the Lin Family’s wealth in the future.

Lu Youzhen still didn’t know that even without a shred of clue or evidence, Zhou Shuyan and Lu Youxi as a couple had already seen through her game.

Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan’s relationship had become public, and now the entire school was aware of Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan’s relationship.

The classmates were grinding their teeth in frustration at having been duped by Lu Youxi again.

Previously, Lu Youxi had adamantly claimed she had nothing to do with Zhou Shuyan.

But at the same time, they also felt it was incredibly novel.

The CEO’s wife of Chengzhou actually went to school with them.

And Lin Jingshen had already developed a thick skin from repeated setbacks.

Even if his reputation was destroyed at school and he was pointed at with scorn wherever he went,

he had learned to remain unfazed.

That very night, when Lin Zhenghao and Lin Jingshen entered the Lin Family home, Mrs. Lin couldn’t wait to ask, "How did it go? How did you handle things with Lu Youxi?"

"How did it go?" Lin Zhenghao shook his head and said with a pained expression, "In the future, let’s not entertain any more thoughts about Lu Youxi."

"What happened?" Mrs. Lin was puzzled. "What did she do this time?"

Mrs. Lin’s first thought was whether Lu Youxi had caused some mischief again, temporarily preventing Lin Zhenghao and Lin Jingshen from bothering Lu Youxi.

Lin Zhenghao shook his head and said, "Her husband is Zhou Shuyan."

"Yes, so what?" They had known this for a long time, hadn’t they?

Her incompetent husband, sharing a name with President Zhou of Chengzhou.

Mrs. Lin muttered, "Speaking of which, the name Zhou Shuyan doesn’t sound too common. It’d be quite the coincidence to share the same name. Is that really her husband’s name?"

"Or did Lu Youxi make it up, trying to garner attention by leveraging Zhou Shuyan’s name?" Even such far-fetched ideas occurred to Mrs. Lin, yet she still refused to associate Lu Youxi’s husband with President Zhou of Chengzhou.

Lin Zhenghao said gloomily, "Lu Youxi’s husband is indeed Zhou Shuyan."

Seeing that Mrs. Lin still wasn’t considering that possibility, Lin Zhenghao clarified further, "He is also Zhou Shuyan, the CEO of Chengzhou. So, Lu Youxi is the CEO’s wife of Chengzhou."

"That’s why her Little Pink Book was heavily supported by Chengzhou right after its launch and then moved on to form a deep partnership with Chengzhou," Lin Zhenghao scoffed. "It’s not because the Little Pink Book is outstanding, but because Zhou Shuyan is abusing his power for personal benefit, piling all of Chengzhou’s resources into the Little Pink Book to support his wife."

"That’s why Lu Youxi’s Little Pink Book succeeded so quickly, not to mention her Hexing Rice. But having just started these two companies, she dared to venture into the real estate industry." Lin Zhenghao scoffed again, "I was foolish to think before that she was overreaching."
