Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Who Are You Pretending to Be Affectionate For? It’s Disgusting

He Yuming bared his teeth and made a funny face at Xu Tian, "I’m just going to call him Xingxing."

Cheng Yang followed suit and called out Xingxing as well.

The two of them called out gleefully one after another, bringing a smile to Cheng Xing’s pale little face.

Cheng Zhiwei asked Xu Tian about He Yuming’s examination results, and Xu Tian replied irritably, "He drank too much soda, and it made him overheat."

It wasn’t anything serious.

"Then let’s go home," said Cheng Zhiwei.

Cheng Zhiwei changed her position, and the sensible Cheng Xing said, "Mommy, I can walk on my own."

Cheng Zhiwei let her down, and Cheng Yang and He Yuming immediately took her hand, carefully walking her forward.

Xu Tian remarked emotionally, "I envy them, they’re at such a carefree age with no worries."

Cheng Zhiwei softly agreed, "Yeah."

Just as they reached the hospital entrance, they encountered Zhou Lin, who was striding over. He paused, quickly approached, then crouched down to look at Cheng Xing, "Is Xingxing feeling better?"

Cheng Xing nodded obediently, "Xingxing is much better now, thank you, Uncle."

Zhou Lin’s jaw was tense, but he didn’t say anything in front of the children, simply smiling gently, "Then, Uncle will take Xingxing home, okay?"

"No!" Cheng Yang immediately rejected loudly, "Aunt Xu said she would take us home."

He Yuming followed up, "Goodbye, Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Lin stood up and turned to look at Cheng Zhiwei. Her expression was cool, her long hair draped over her shoulders, she seemed so distant.

"We should be going," she called out to the children, not casting a single glance in Zhou Lin’s direction.

The three children left hand in hand.

Then came Cheng Zhiwei and Xu Tian, the two of them chatting about something. Cheng Zhiwei let out a laugh, sounding pleased.

At the crowded hospital entrance, Zhou Lin felt an immense emptiness, his hand subconsciously clenching, but he was unable to grasp anything.

In the car, Xu Tian sharply said, "Acting like that towards you before and now putting on this affectionate act, who is he trying to impress? Disgusting."

"The children are in the car, let’s not talk about this," Cheng Zhiwei said nonchalantly.

"Right. Why mention that scum? It will only spoil our mood."

The next morning, Cheng Zhiwei received a call from the police station. The paternity test was out, and they notified her that she could come and get the certification.

Cheng Zhiwei hurried over.

The police prepared the certification for Cheng Zhiwei to sign.

After signing, Cheng Zhiwei was ready to leave when suddenly a woman burst in the door, her voice loud, "What did you say, I have another child?"

Someone explained, "It’s likely because you were having twins and didn’t have a prenatal exam, so they stole one of the babies."

The woman burst into tears, "My poor child."

The man beside her tried to console her, "Calm down. Since they have discovered this, they will probably find your child’s whereabouts soon."

Cheng Zhiwei felt that uncomfortable feeling rising again. She asked the police officer who provided the certification, "How did you know she lost a child?"

The officer replied, "One clue was the birth record from their hospital, and another was that someone from that gang finally decided to tell the truth."

For a full year, the police had pursued the case relentlessly, finally making significant progress.

The core members of the gang finally decided to speak the truth, providing clear details on how many children were taken. However, they only confessed to the events that occurred in the year they were caught.

"But Madam Cheng, don’t worry. Your children are all by your side. You are lucky," the officer said.

Lucky, huh?

Cheng Zhiwei didn’t seem to agree with the word "lucky," wondering why she felt a bit anxious.

"Madam Cheng, Madam Cheng?" the police called, "Is there anything else you’d like to know?"

Cheng Zhiwei snapped back to reality and managed a small smile, "No, that’s all, thank you."

She gripped the document tightly and quickly left the police station.

When she sat in her car, she suddenly realized the palm of her hand was slightly moist with sweat.

After calming herself for a while, she drove away.

Unable to understand the sudden surge of emotion, she could only comfort herself by thinking that perhaps it was the sensitivity that came with motherhood; hearing such news had made her feel upset.

After successfully registering her children’s household, Cheng Zhiwei returned home.

As soon as she opened the door, she heard Lin Yu’s voice, "It’s our family who wronged Zhiwei."

"Zhiwei says these things are in the past, let’s not bring them up again," Guo Cuihua said indifferently, "Marriage, well, not all of it is smooth sailing, divorce is not a big deal."

Guo Cuihua had come to terms with it as well.

Especially since the Cheng Family now had the two treasures, Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing, the house was lively every day, and she had even fewer regrets.

Just then, Cheng Yang came tumbling over and called out "Grandma" crisply.

Lin Yu became momentarily blank, watching Cheng Yang pestering Guo Cuihua in her arms for candy, struggling to find her voice after a long silence.

"He calls you Grandma?"

Wasn’t it supposed to be grandpa and grandma on the father’s side?

Guo Cuihua stroked Cheng Yang’s head, "Mommy said you can only have one per day, and you’ve already had yours today."

Unsatisfied, Cheng Yang pleaded, "Grandma, Grandma, I just want candy, don’t tell mommy, okay?"

"Cheng Yang." Cheng Zhiwei walked in, giving him a stern glance, "So this is what you’re like when I’m not home."

"Mommy." Cheng Yang dove into her arms, "Mommy, I was wrong."

"No repeating this, or I’ll have to punish you if I catch you again," Cheng Zhiwei said sternly.

Cheng Yang stuck out his tongue and ran away.

Lin Yu was filled with envy, "Zhiwei is back, have you sorted out everything for the kids?"

"Yes, Auntie Lin, when did you arrive?" Cheng Zhiwei greeted her politely.

Hearing the address "Auntie Lin," Lin Yu felt a bitter pang in her heart but managed to suppress it and forced a light laugh, "I heard Xingxing was sick, so I came to see her."

Guo Cuihua quickly said, "Xingxing is sleeping."

Cheng Zhiwei got up to check on Cheng Xing in the bedroom.

Lin Yu couldn’t help but ask, "Yangyang and Xingxing call you grandfather and grandmother, was it Zhiwei’s idea?"

"It was her idea; she said the children would take her surname Cheng, and they would live at home in the future, so they might as well call us grandpa and grandma."

This meant that Cheng Zhiwei had no intention of returning to the Zhou Family.

She belonged to the Cheng Family, and it was natural for the children to address Cheng Shang and Guo Cuihua as grandpa and grandma.

No issue there.

Lin Yu couldn’t control the twitching of her mouth corners, her heart aching terribly.

From this address, she could see the determination of Cheng Zhiwei.

Cheng Zhiwei wouldn’t return to the Zhou Family; she and Zhou Lin had no chance anymore.

"What’s wrong?" asked Guo Cuihua, who actually knew the meaning behind Lin Yu’s question but feigned ignorance to save face for both parties.

Lin Yu shook her head, "It’s nothing."

She had no right to comment on Cheng Zhiwei’s decision, after all, it was Zhou Lin, it was the Zhou Family who had taken things to the extreme at the beginning.
