Chapter 660: Chapter 395: _2

It was simply unthinkable.

But Rong Qingze didn’t care, "We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Jiang Bei, you seem to enjoy going against my wishes, does that mean I..."

"No! I’ll take care of it right now!"

Jiang Bei didn’t dare say anything more.

Money can move even the dead, how true this saying is.

When the price went up tenfold, one of the doctors named Shen Wen became greedy. He assured Jiang Bei, "Wenming will have a check-up in three days, I can pretend there’s an equipment malfunction and take her to another room for the egg retrieval."

Although Wenming was in a coma, she was still a normal female with functioning bodily mechanisms.

Jiang Bei only cared about the results.

Rong Yanqiao and Huo Yanshu went out to eat at a street stall.

Having not been in touch with these things for a long time, Yanqiao kind of missed them.

Huo Yanshu also seemed quite at ease and natural eating there.

He must have frequented places like this when he was with Wenming.

"I thought you’d be surprised, but you seem even more adept than me," Huo Yanshu said to Rong Yanqiao, questioning her.

Rong Yanqiao laughed lightly, "Don’t forget, I was adopted by the Rong Family, I’m not really their lady."

As the daughter of Boss Rong, she would indeed be the center of love and attention, dazzling and radiant.

"So, where were you before you were adopted, Qiaoqiao? Have you ever thought that maybe you have biological relatives somewhere in this world?" Huo Yanshu pursed his lips; his sudden question took Rong Yanqiao by surprise.

But she quickly realized what Huo Yanshu was implying.

Her adoption was public but the specifics were not disclosed. Surely there were people who wanted to delve deep into her background, but with Rong Qingze backing her, nothing ever came of it.

"I don’t like to think about my past much, but I’m sure I don’t have any siblings. If I had, I wouldn’t be alone."

"Or do you think I look like someone?"

Rong Yanqiao smiled slightly, setting the tone.

Huo Yanshu didn’t continue the topic; his gaze rested on Rong Yanqiao, whose face bore a striking resemblance to Wenming. When he first saw Rong Yanqiao, he had thought it was Wenming who had awakened.

"It seems there is."

Rong Yanqiao spoke first, smiling, not allowing Huo Yanshu any chance to dodge the subject.

Huo Yanshu didn’t deny it.

This made Yanqiao cease her inquiries.

To ask further would seem too deliberate.

"You don’t seem interested in this person, but sometimes, you’re so clever in every aspect. Qiaoqiao, you’re very hard to read at times."

Apart from her face, Rong Yanqiao was completely different from Wenming.

"Really? Should I be happy then that I’m not completely transparent and still retain some protective coloring?"

"Was your past life very hard?"

Huo Yanshu’s question seemed somewhat unrelated.

His dark eyes were like an indissoluble clump of ink.

Rong Yanqiao fell silent.

She grew up in a family that favored sons over daughters, and moreover, her mother had remarried. After her stepfather had a son, he became even crueler to her.

Young as she was, she had to work part-time to earn money. After meeting Zhao Yixing, she thought he would be the support of her life, but instead, he turned into the devil who ended her life.

Even though Rong Qingze appeared like a deity to redeem her, his only intent was to use her.

Hardship, how could it be anything but hardship, when she never really lived for herself.

"Let’s not talk about the past, our purpose for coming out is to enjoy the food. It’s not good to talk about unhappy things while eating."

Rong Yanqiao put an end to her train of thought.

But to Huo Yanshu, he saw Rong Yanqiao as a person with many stories.

After they finished eating, Huo Yanshu drove Rong Yanqiao back to the hotel where the film crew was staying, then called his assistant, "Arrange for more people to dig into Rong Yanqiao’s past."

"Mr. Huo, haven’t you looked into it before? Nothing was found because the Rong Family intentionally obscured it. If you continue to search, I’m afraid you’ll get the same result."

With the Rong Family’s protection, some things weren’t so easily uncovered.

But Huo Yanshu didn’t believe in such curses, "If she is human, there must be traces left behind. Hurry up with the search."

With Huo Yanshu so adamant, the assistant had no more to say.

When Rong Yanqiao got back to the hotel, she received a call from Rong Qingze, "You went out with Huo Yanshu for a bite to eat, what did you tell him? Why is Huo Yanshu thinking of investigating you?"

"I didn’t say much. He’s thinking of getting engaged with me and even wants to make frequent headlines with me, just brought up the past casually. Second Uncle, considering my face, many people would want to investigate my identity. If it weren’t for you, the first person who would likely seek to investigate me would be you," Rong Yanqiao said calmly to Rong Qingze.
