Chapter 335: Chapter 335: I Already Know They Are My Children

Li Lingyang curled his lips into a cold smile, his words landing like thunder, "Would someone who owns an entire mine risk being caught, and steal a raw stone right in front of everyone?"

The entrance to the small exhibition hall fell into a few seconds of silence, before erupting into chaos.

"Ning Yichu owns a mine? Isn’t she a jade sculptor? Where did she get the money to buy a mine?"

"The Siya Beba Mine is renowned for producing icy jade. Because of its near-perfect quality, a single piece can sometimes fetch tens of millions on the black market. If Ning Yichu really is the owner of the mine, she wouldn’t have any reason to pull off something like this."

"But how do you explain the raw stone found in her bag?"

"Are you jealous? She owns a whole mine; what’s wrong with carrying a raw stone in her bag?"

"Even if she has a mine, that still doesn’t prove she didn’t steal the raw stone. Rich people always have some weird quirks..."

"..."

Opinions at the scene were highly polarized.

Andy froze in place.

Ning Yichu was equally dumbfounded. Since when did she own a mine?

This so-called "mine owner" identity—why hadn’t she heard a word about it?

Her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment, looking somewhat adorably dazed. Li Lingyang stared at her cute expression, his starry eyes shimmering with hints of amusement, curling his thin lips into a faint smile.

Special Assistant Xu explained, "Lady Ning, our President recently acquired the Siya Beba Mine and directly transferred it under your name—"

"In other words, you now own a raw stone mine."

Ning Yichu, "..."

Li Lingyang has gone insane, hasn’t he?

Is he joking?

Andy’s temples twitched several times before she forced herself to speak, "So... so this was a misunderstanding, huh? Since the raw stone has been recovered, let’s just put this matter to rest."

Ning Yichu caught the underlying tone in Andy’s words. On the surface, she was proposing not to pursue the matter further; in reality, it was an insidious insinuation that Ning Yichu had stolen the raw stone loaned for the exhibition!

"If the museum’s raw stone really were stolen, then the thief must still be on the premises. Since Ms. Andy is refusing to check the surveillance, let’s have everyone present walk through the infrared gates. The truth will reveal itself!"

Andy choked, unable to respond.

Li Lingyang’s tone was mocking yet sharp, "Ms. Andy, weren’t you intent on catching the thief? Why have you suddenly backed off?"

Cornered, Andy had no choice but to comply. "Well... well, let’s do as President Li suggests."

The other exhibition guests quickly lined up and walked out in turn, curious to see who might have stolen the raw stone. However, to everyone’s surprise, all attendees had passed through without triggering the alarm.

This left Ning Yichu as the most suspicious individual...

Andy smiled faintly, "President Li, see? I told you this was just a misunderstanding. Let’s let this go, shall we?"

Li Lingyang’s thin lips curled into a disdainful smile, his piercing gaze fixed on her as though to see right through her.

"Ms. Andy, it seems you haven’t walked through yet, have you?"

"You suspect me?" Andy’s heart raced in panic, though her face maintained a facade of righteousness. "President Li, I’m a staff member here. How could I steal from my own workplace?!"

"Whether you stole or not, one step through will make it clear."

Li Lingyang, unwavering in his support for Ning Yichu, demanded coldly, "Special Assistant Xu, help her out."

"What do you think you’re doing? This violates a citizen’s rights! Security, stop them!"

As the bodyguards moved in to seize her, Andy grew visibly guilty, sweat beading her forehead, but the security guards remained indifferent.

After all, a mere staff member was no match for the investors backing the exhibition.

Special Assistant Xu’s bodyguards didn’t know the meaning of pity; they grabbed her arms and dragged her toward the gates without hesitation.

As soon as Andy passed through the infrared sensor, the alarms blared again.

’Beep, beep, beep—’

Ning Yichu’s light-colored eyes sharpened instantly. Her suspicion was confirmed—Andy had indeed taken the icy jade piece!

The jade sculptors present were stunned. After all this back-and-forth, it turned out to be the exhibition’s own staff crying wolf!

"So she deliberately tried to frame Jade Sculptor Ning?"

"Her mind is way too vile. Just now she pretended to be all righteous, and I didn’t even think to suspect her."

"I think she’s the one who ought to be sent to the police station!"

"..."

Overhearing these murmurs, Andy’s humiliation reached its peak; her face turned pale, then flushed a deep red—an utterly spectacular display.

When she had been patrolling the museum earlier, she accidentally saw the $500,000 raw jade in Ning Yichu’s bag. Fueled by jealousy and envy, a daring plan began to form in her mind.

By exploiting her insider position, Andy had cut the surveillance line, then discreetly pocketed the jade piece while everyone was distracted.

She ran through the infrared gates right behind Ning Yichu, hoping to pin the theft on her to exonerate herself.

Initially, her scheme unfolded smoothly, but she had never predicted that this damned woman had Li Lingyang supporting her, causing her plans to fall apart...

The resentment burned her deeply!

Andy was forced to the ground by security, and the bodyguards retrieved the raw jade from her pocket.

"Notify the organizers to send her to the police station," Ning Yichu said, her voice icy as she directed the guards, her disgust reaching its zenith.

"Yes, Lady Ning!"

The bodyguards promptly complied, escorting Andy away.

With the matter resolved, the jade sculptors gradually dispersed, and the museum replaced its management while enforcing stricter monitoring to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Ning Yichu cast a complicated glance at the man before her, her emotions churning, and moved to leave with a cold face.

But just as she took her first step, he caught hold of her wrist!

"Chu Chu!"

Li Lingyang couldn’t bear to watch her walk away from him again.

Ning Yichu froze in her tracks, her expression even frostier.

"Li Lingyang, I don’t know you well enough for this. Please address me as Lady Ning, and another thing—"

She paused for a moment, then turned her gaze back to him. "I don’t need your mine. Take it back!"

Li Lingyang’s heart ached sharply, his expression darkening instantly. After a brief silence, he pressed his lips together and spoke.

"I know I hurt you before, failing to see the truth about Shen Jiangqing, letting you and the children suffer so much. But Chen Bao and Ningning are our kids—can you really bear to watch them grow up without their father?"

Ning Yichu’s face paled slightly. "I don’t understand what you’re talking about!"

"I’ve already investigated everything. Chen Bao and Ningning aren’t mere orphans from the orphanage, and Ningning isn’t a child you had with another man. You’re the woman from five years ago—they carry our blood!"

Ning Yichu’s heart sank with a thud, panic creeping in.

She knew it. She knew she couldn’t hide it forever...

Now, every time he reappeared, he brought up the children. Could it be that he was planning to fight her for custody?
