The Temptation of CEO's Pregnant Ex-Wife
Chapter 303: Dancing Clown

Chapter 303: Chapter 303: Dancing Clown

About the identity of Zhou Ruoki, Seo Zhenzhen dared not speak; she knew she could not claim the child was Zhou Lin’s or He Lanzhi’s, and she was well aware that after today, Zhou Lin would certainly have a paternity test done.

The truth would come out.

She could not stay here waiting for Zhou Lin’s fury or He Lanzhi’s retaliation.

She had to leave.

However, at this moment, it wasn’t just a matter of her wanting to leave.

Zhou Lin stared at her intensely, his gaze sharp and cold, yet his tone casual, "Seo Zhenzhen, is it that hard to answer whose child it is?"

Seo Zhenzhen’s face turned pale, her fingernails digging deeply into her palm, "The child is naturally yours, Ah Lin. Are you doubting me?"

Her expression was sorrowful, but her eyes deliberately fell on Cheng Zhiwei; somewhat provocatively she said, "Have you forgotten what happened that day at the hotel?"

Zhou Lin’s face was expressionless, perhaps angry, but he controlled it perfectly, "Then why didn’t you speak up to He Lanzhi just now, or did you sleep with him, letting him think the child was his?"

Each question was so sharp that Seo Zhenzhen broke into a sweat.

Seo Zhenzhen bit her lip, "No, Ah Lin, listen to me. He Lanzhi likes me, and by extension, he likes Qiqi. I’ve never been with him; you know I only like you."

She spoke pitifully, but everyone knew what was going on.

Xu Tian sneered furiously, "Fine, since you say Zhou Ruoki isn’t his son, I’ll call him again and you can tell him that yourself."

She had never seen such a shameless woman, using Zhou Ruoki to manipulate both Zhou Lin and He Lanzhi, playing both ends against the middle.

Seo Zhenzhen was still defiant, "Xu Tian, it’s his business if He Lanzhi doesn’t like you. Why should you pin all the blame on me? And about He Yuming, did you ever consider that your son might not be likable?"

Her tone nearly brought her to tears.

Xu Tian almost raised her hand to slap her in that instant.

The phone rang at just the right moment.

The police had found He Lanzhi, but due to an incident, they were now en route to the hospital.

When Xu Tian heard the word "hospital," her mind buzzed, and she used all her strength to ask shakily, "Is it my son who is in trouble?"

"The child is safe, but they’re all at the hospital. Just come quickly," they said.

"Okay, okay," she replied.

Relieved, Xu Tian staggered but managed to steady herself, grabbed the car keys, and left.

Cheng Zhiwei quickly followed her, taking the car keys, "I’ll drive."

It was too dangerous for Xu Tian to drive in her state.

The two women left together.

Seo Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief and showed a hint of a smile, "Ah Lin, since there’s no problem, I’ll head back first."

"What’s the rush? Let’s go to the hospital together," Zhou Lin said before striding forward.

Two bodyguards stood beside Seo Zhenzhen, one on either side, blocking her retreat.

Seo Zhenzhen finally began to panic, her complexion turning sickly pale. She guiltily shifted her eyes, searching for an excuse, "Qiqi just called saying he missed me and wanted me to visit him."

Zhou Ruoki was like a catch-all excuse for Seo Zhenzhen; she could use him as any sort of excuse or reason.

Unfortunately, this time, the excuse was useless.

Zhou Lin simply turned his head and said coldly, "I’ll talk to Qiqi about that."

Seo Zhenzhen was quickly pushed into the car by the bodyguards.

Hospital.

Xu Tian held He Yuming tightly; he too was shaken, clinging to Xu Tian’s neck, burying his face in her shoulder, ignoring everyone else.

His forehead was bandaged, but he seemed to be okay.

The doctor said, "There are some bruises on the body, all have been treated with ointments."

Bruises?

Xu Tian, trembling, pulled up He Yuming’s shirt from the back to see deep and shallow bruises on his body, which were shocking.

A surge of sickly sweetness rose in her throat, Xu Tian was so furious she felt like vomiting blood, her voice hoarse and severe, "Did he... Did he hit you... Was it him who hit you?"

He Yuming started crying, "Mom."

He had always known that He Lanzhi didn’t like him and that he also saddened his mother; thus, he had always pretended he didn’t have a father and tried to stay away from He Lanzhi as much as possible.

But he didn’t understand why He Lanzhi would take him away, constantly calling him a bastard, always cursing that he and his mother were both sluts, and frequently hitting him.

Xu Tian handed He Yuming to Cheng Zhiwei, frantic to rush into the operating room, "He Lanzhi, I’m going to kill you."

Stopped by the police.

"He was running away when he rolled down the stairs," the police said sternly, "and was knocked unconscious."

"He’s just a scumbag, why are you saving him? Let him die," Xu Tian screamed, collapsing.

At that moment, the operation finished, and He Lanzhi was wheeled out.

Xu Tian could no longer contain her anger and threw herself onto He Lanzhi, shoving him violently, "He Lanzhi, you scumbag, get up."

Fortunately, the police were quick to intervene.

Otherwise, He Lanzhi might have had to go back into the operating room right after coming out.

"I’m going to kill him, this scumbag." Xu Tian, completely ignoring the presence of the police, was extremely wrathful, her agitated emotions almost too much for the two officers to handle.

It was still He Yuming’s crying that brought her back to her senses.

"Mom, I’m scared."

Xu Tian, her eyes red, went over and held He Yuming, sobbing uncontrollably.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t protect you."

He Lanzhi was wheeled to a ward.

He Lanzhi’s fall down the stairs while fleeing wasn’t serious; he just knocked his head and passed out, but because he was brought to the hospital promptly, he soon awoke.

There were only two people in the ward at that time.

As soon as he saw Seo Zhenzhen, he struggled to sit up, almost immediately asking, "Zhenzhen, is Qiqi really my son?"

"Zhou Ruoki is your son?"

A cold male voice suddenly pressed down on He Lanzhi’s nerves.

He Lanzhi turned his head to see Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin was sitting on the sofa next to him, although Seo Zhenzhen was standing opposite the bed. He Lanzhi first saw her and mistakenly thought there was only she in the room.

That’s why that sentence slipped out.

Now seeing Zhou Lin and Seo Zhenzhen’s pale, trembling lips, He Lanzhi was slightly panicked, but it was just a slight panic.

He soon recovered, his tone somewhat apologetic but earnest enough, "Ah Lin, Qiqi is my son."

He had wanted to tell Zhou Lin this "fact" a very long time ago, but he had been hiding it because Seo Zhenzhen wouldn’t agree.

Now, as Seo Zhenzhen had promised to be with him for life, he felt it was time to tell the truth.

In a tone both apologetic and matter-of-fact, "Sorry, Ah Lin, I should have told you about this sooner, but I feared it would affect our relationship over the years, so I never said anything."

He felt he was being quite generous and open.

But to Zhou Lin, he was just a clown.
