"Did Junzi know about this too?"
"He just found out. I’m calling you on i Shuping’s behalf; he wants you to find i Langchi and tell him there’s been an incident at ho."
"What happened again with the eldest’s family?"
"Li Liang’s parents secretly took Hua Hua away."
"Hmph, it’s good they took him away. Although I’ve heard that Li Liang isn’t a good person, Hua Hua is at least their biological grandson. His parents wouldn’t be inattentive like the eldest family. Hua Hua is their only grandchild now; they’ll definitely cherish him. Don’t you think so?"
"i Langchi has done this to Ye Qing, and if the child stays with the family, he’ll surely deal with Hua Hua when he has the ti. While I don’t know how he’ll do it, it’s certain that Hua Hua won’t have a good future. Being taken away might not be a bad thing. It might even be what i Langchi wants."
"That’s true. Tsk tsk, since i Shuping asked , the third brother, for help, I have to assist him, right? Alright, you don’t need to relay this through your dad; I’ll call him directly."
Han Yi listened and smiled slightly, not rebutting.
Before hanging up, Chen Haichang specifically ntioned that when they have ti, they should try out the new restaurant. "When I left, I left a card for Lin Wan and the others; it’s all free over there."
"Got it. We’ll go try it when we have the chance." Han Yi nodded and agreed, then exchanged a few unrelated words before ending the call.
On the other side, after hanging up, Chen Haichang didn’t contact i Langchi directly because i Langchi was currently negotiating a deal with buyers, and if it went well, he would probably return to the Capital City tomorrow.
Chen Haichang propped his chin with his hand, smiled, and after thinking for a long ti, dialed i Shuping’s number.
How did he know i Shuping’s phone number? Well, that’s because he had thoroughly checked all the phone numbers of the i family mbers.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Big brother, weren’t you looking for ?"
"...Oh, it’s Haichang." When Chen Haichang himself called, i Shuping was a little surprised. He thought Chen Haichang would have Han Yi relay the ssage.
"This matter... Xiao Yi told you, right? My Hua Hua is missing, Xiao Chi went to the port. I thought since you’re familiar with the port, you could help find Xiao Chi and have him call ho."
"Big brother, the port is so big, it’s really hard to find soone imdiately. Oh right, Hua Hua is missing; why haven’t you called the police?"
The ntion of calling the police made i Shuping instantly wary. "Haichang, I’ll handle the police matter. Just help find Xiao Chi first."
"...Oh, I understand what you an, big brother. You’re afraid that once the police are involved, it’ll be revealed that the child isn’t Xiao Chi’s, and we’ll lose face in the i family, right? Understandable."
Chen Haichang’s words made i Shuping a bit angry, and he finally understood why Chen Haichang contacted him directly.
"Big brother is making the right decision. I think Hua Hua doesn’t look anything like Xiao Chi, and it’s very possible he isn’t Xiao Chi’s child. Now that we know he was taken by his biological grandmother, there’s nothing to worry about. You know their family, right? I’ll help you gather information about Xiao Chi’s whereabouts. ...Oh, by the way, didn’t Xiao Chi show you the paternity test at that ti? Why not check where it was done if you’re impatient?"
Chen Haichang’s suggestion hit the nail on the head, and he wondered how he had overlooked this.
Knowing that Chen Haichang was mocking him during the call, i Shuping circled the conversation for a minute and then hung up.
He quickly went to the hospital to investigate.
By the ti he returned ho in the evening, i Shuping’s face was as dark as ink about to drip.
Old Mrs. i had gone to see her husband in the afternoon. Upon returning, she saw her daughter-in-law with a head full of wounds and found out after asking that she had gone to see Ye Qing.
Ye Qing has beco so mad now that she attacks anyone she sees, let alone tell whose child it is.
With no babysitter at ho, the cooking naturally fell to Xie Lingzhi. She had a terrible headache and just made a simple dinner.
i Shuping arrived just in ti for dinner.
Seeing the flour coating his wife’s hair, i Shuping frowned and asked, "What happened to you? Did you spill flour on your head?"
"What do you think? I went to see Ye Qing today, and I didn’t expect that crazy woman to attack everyone she sees. I accidentally got scratched by her."
"Why on earth are you provoking a lunatic?"
"Hmph, I didn’t want to provoke her either. I just wanted to ask Ye Qing whose child it truly was, but I didn’t expect her madness to be so severe. She kept murmuring about murder, saying it wasn’t her, but Xiao Chi did it. I got angry just hearing that, so I hit her twice. I didn’t expect her to grab my clothes, this mad woman doesn’t know how to use restraint. It’s terrifying; she pinned down, saying she wanted to eat my brain. Scared to death."
As Xie Lingzhi talked about brains while eating, Old Mrs. i instantly lost her appetite, sighed, and put down her chopsticks.
Hearing Ye Qing murmuring about his son brought a chill down i Shuping’s spine. They had been too lenient with Ye Qing...
"Shuping, did Xiao Chi’s assistant contact you today? Is there any news about our Xiao Chi?" Xie Lingzhi asked anxiously.
"Hmph, don’t ntion that bastard to . I went to the hospital today, guess what he did?"
"What?"
i Shuping’s words successfully caught the attention of the two won in the house, who quickly asked.
"The paternity test of Hua Hua he showed us was fake; he had soone forge it."
"What?"
"Is... is that true?"
