The Temptation of CEO's Pregnant Ex-Wife
Chapter 344: Is That Child Zhou Ruoki?

Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Is That Child Zhou Ruoki?

He Ye pulled Cheng Zhiwei aside to apologize, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know she would come."

"It’s okay." Cheng Zhiwei brewed tea for Yu Shuhua and then introduced her to Guo Cuihua and Lin Yu.

Upon hearing she was He Ye’s mother, Guo Cuihua immediately became much warmer. She had always thought highly of He Ye and wanted to match them; now, He Ye’s mother’s presence seemed to be a signal.

However, Lin Yu wasn’t so pleased, even feeling a bit sour in her heart.

Would such a great daughter-in-law as Zhiwei become someone else’s?

But she couldn’t say anything; after all, it was Zhou Lin who had bullied Cheng Zhiwei first.

Yu Shuhua patiently made small talk with Guo Cuihua. Accustomed to being superior, despite her restraint, her words still conveyed a sense of superiority.

Guo Cuihua noticed it.

Yu Shuhua went on to say, "Our Xiao Ye really has deep feelings for Zhiwei. It’s just that Zhiwei is worried about the children and won’t agree to marry. I think she can be at ease, even if both kids come with her into the He family, we can certainly afford to care for them."

As if the Cheng family couldn’t afford to raise those two children.

Guo Cuihua coldly said, "We will raise our own children."

"That’s very good. After Zhiwei and Xiao Ye get married, they can have another two children if they want," Yu Shuhua said in an indifferent tone.

Guo Cuihua frowned, suddenly understanding the reason why Cheng Zhiwei had always refused He Ye’s proposal.

Having such a mother-in-law was not a good thing.

Lin Yu placed her teacup on the table with a bit more force than necessary.

She hadn’t planned to say anything; after all, He Ye was a good kid, and he and Cheng Zhiwei seemed quite compatible. Although she was reluctant, she truly wished Cheng Zhiwei well.

But when Yu Shuhua dared to disdain Cheng Yang and Cheng Xing, Lin Yu couldn’t tolerate it.

"Madam He, those two children have nothing to do with the He family in terms of being provided for." Lin Yu said assertively, her presence suddenly commanding.

As a bona fide lady of a wealthy family, if Lin Yu chose to display her grace, Yu Shuhua couldn’t compare.

Yu Shuhua didn’t dare offend Lin Yu; she remembered He Mingzhu’s intention to marry into the Zhou family and quickly said with a placating smile, "Madam Zhou, you misunderstand. My meaning is, if they don’t wish to marry because of the children, I’m very willing to care for them."

Lin Yu gave a dismissive laugh, "That’s not your place to decide."

Embarrassed, Yu Shuhua continued, "I’m sorry, I simply like Zhiwei so much and wanted them to get married as soon as possible. I might have been too hasty with my words, but that’s all I meant by it."

Looking at Guo Cuihua, she added, "Madam Cheng, I’m sure you hold our He Ye in esteem as well. Why not pick a date and get the matter settled, letting us become one family and allowing the children to focus all their energy on their careers?"

"Matters of marriage can’t be rushed," Lin Yu countered dryly.

Yu Shuhua smiled, "Indeed, they can’t be. But since both kids are busy, I took the liberty to come over and talk about it. As for the dowry or anything else, just say the word and we’ll comply."

Meaning, as long as Cheng Zhiwei agreed, the He family would fulfill any condition.

Although Guo Cuihua was anxious about Cheng Zhiwei’s marriage, Yu Shuhua’s eagerness for her to marry He Ye was suspiciously abnormal.

There had to be something fishy going on with such an odd occurrence.

It wasn’t that Zhiwei wasn’t a good catch, but no matter how good she was, she was still a divorced woman with children. Did the He family actually hold her in such high regard?

As she mused, her smile deepened, "The children should decide their own matters. As for the wedding, they should make up their own minds."

Yu Shuhua was stunned; she had thought Guo Cuihua would be eager to agree.

Given the excellent prospects of the He family.

Lin Yu’s lips curled up slightly, feeling content.

With Zhou Lin’s disgraceful behavior as a precedent, Guo Cuihua was extremely cautious regarding Cheng Zhiwei’s lifelong happiness. Yu Shuhua’s eagerness probably wouldn’t sit well with her.

She felt reassured.

Lin Yu changed the subject and started a new conversation with Guo Cuihua.

Yu Shuhua was somewhat angry; the Cheng Family was too ungrateful.

They actually thought Cheng Zhiwei was so sought after, as if she would step foot in such a place if not for He Mingzhu’s career.

Time flew by, and after singing the birthday song, it was already seven in the evening. Lin Yu, because Zhou Chenyuan was still in the hospital, entrusted Cheng Zhiwei to take care of Zhou Ruoki and went back to the hospital herself.

Dusk fell.

Zhou Ruoki, who had been playing happily, suddenly became restless and asked about the time several times.

Cheng Zhiwei touched his hair, "Do you want to go home?"

Zhou Ruoki clenched his fists, his cheeks warming, "Mhm."

"But your dad hasn’t arrived yet, shall I ask Secretary Zhang to arrange for someone to pick you up?" Cheng Zhiwei asked gently. After getting Zhou Ruoki’s consent, she contacted Secretary Zhang to arrange for a driver to come.

Zhou Ruoki’s gaze fell on Cheng Xing, his eyes slightly reddening. He sat there dazed for a while before he instinctively spoke out, "Xingxing."

Cheng Xing walked over to him, "What’s wrong?"

Zhou Ruoki was silent for a few seconds then forced a smile, "I have to go now, happy birthday."

He hugged Cheng Xing.

Cheng Xing smiled sweetly, "Thank you."

Zhou Ruoki nearly ran out, and since the person to pick him up hadn’t arrived, Cheng Zhiwei could only follow behind.

Unfortunately, she was a step late, and the elevator had already gone down.

Cheng Zhiwei waited for the next elevator, but by the time she got out, Zhou Ruoki was nowhere to be seen.

Just as Cheng Zhiwei was about to make a phone call, she suddenly heard Zhou Ruoki’s voice not far away, "Mom, I’ll go with you."

She hurried over.

Then she saw at the roadside a black car parked, and Zhou Ruoki pulling a lean woman.

At a glance, Cheng Zhiwei recognized her as Seo Zhenzhen.

Zhou Ruoki was still crying, "Mom, I beg you, leave this place, I’m willing to go with you."

Cheng Zhiwei secretly took a photo and sent it to Zhou Lin.

No sooner had she put down her phone than she saw Seo Zhenzhen push Zhou Ruoki to the ground. Seo Zhenzhen lowered her voice and scolded him, "Useless, I told you to bring out those two little bastards."

She had made ample preparations to take the two children away and let Cheng Zhiwei feel the pain in her heart.

"I’ll go with you, Mom. Take me with you." Zhou Ruoki got up from the ground.

"Who wants to take you with them, you useless thing? Don’t call me Mom, I am not your mother." Seo Zhenzhen shrugged off Zhou Ruoki’s hand, her expression twisted, "Useless, useless, I should never have spent the money to buy you back in the first place."

Cheng Zhiwei’s head buzzed.

Bought?

Zhou Ruoki was bought by Seo Zhenzhen?

But Zhou Lin had said that he had conducted a paternity test, and Zhou Ruoki was his biological son...

Zhou Ruoki wasn’t Seo Zhenzhen’s biological child, yet he shared a blood relation with Zhou Lin.

Cheng Zhiwei’s scalp tingled, and her fingers quivered, trying to curl up, but they failed to do so several times.

She stood rigid in the night.

Could that child be... could it be... Zhou Ruoki?

Cheng Zhiwei’s heartbeat was fast and urgent, like a drum beating.
