The president's wife wants to run away
Chapter 130: Unexpected Blow
Chapter 130 Unexpected Blow
I stumbled back to my room, feeling confused. Li Luoyao was gone. Why did she leave at this critical moment? Did she really do all this? But why did she do this? It felt like countless needles were piercing my mind, causing me to feel pain.
Zhong Yuxuan followed me in, he clenched his fists tightly, his face shrouded in a haze. I knew that he was also thrown off balance by this sudden change.
"Luo Xue..." He finally spoke, his voice very hoarse, "I..."
He hesitated to speak, his eyes flashing with complex emotions. I looked at him, and a bad feeling rose in my heart.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" I grabbed his hand and asked anxiously.
He took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision, and took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to me: "Read it yourself."
I took the envelope with shaking hands, and a sense of foreboding came over me. There was no signature on the envelope, only a line of beautiful handwriting: A secret about your child.
My heart sank suddenly. Could this letter be related to Zhong Li's life experience? I couldn't wait to open the envelope and pull out the letter inside. There was only one sentence on the letter: Are you sure that the child in your arms is really yours?
This short sentence was like a bomb exploding in my mind. I suddenly felt dizzy and the letter in my hand fell to the ground.
"What...what does this mean?" I muttered to myself, unable to believe my eyes.
Zhong Yuxuan didn't say anything, but just pursed his lips tightly and looked at me with complicated eyes.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and Li Luoyao walked in with a smug look on her face.
"Sister, are you okay?" she asked with pretended concern, but her eyes swept across the letter paper on the ground intentionally or unintentionally.
"What are you doing here?" I looked at her coldly, my heart filled with anger and suspicion.
"I came to see you." She walked up to me with a sneer on her face. "Sister, don't be too sad. After all, truth will come out sooner or later."
Her tone was full of sarcasm and provocation. I stood up suddenly, pointed at her and shouted, "What do you mean? Is this all your fault?"
But she was not afraid at all, instead she smiled even more proudly: "Sister, what do you mean by that? I just came to see you out of kindness, how can you slander me like this?"
I was so angry that I was shaking all over, but I couldn't produce any evidence to refute her.
"Enough!" Zhong Yuxuan spoke suddenly. His voice was so cold that it made me shudder.
He walked up to Li Luoyao and stared at her fiercely: "You'd better pray that this matter has nothing to do with you, otherwise, I will never let you go!"
Li Luoyao was startled by his sharp eyes, but soon regained her composure. She pretended to be wronged and said, "Yuxuan, you...how can you say that to me? I...I am doing this for your own good."
"For my own good?" Zhong Yuxuan sneered, "You'd better figure out what's good for me!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room without even looking at Li Luoyao.
I looked at his back, feeling uneasy and fearful. I didn't know who sent this letter, or whether what was written on it was true. But I was sure that a bigger storm was coming...
After Zhong Yuxuan left the room, I collapsed on the bed, my mind was blank. The content of the anonymous letter was like a fog, surrounding me tightly and making me breathless. I dared not believe it, and I dared not think about it. If everything said in the letter was true, what should I do? My children... My family...
I don't know how long it took, but Zhong Yuxuan came back. He looked exhausted, but his eyes were very determined. He walked up to me, gently hugged me in his arms, and said in a gentle but bitter tone: "Luo Xue, I'm sorry for making you worry."
I tightly grasped his collar, buried my head in his chest, and tears silently fell. I didn't ask anything, because I knew that he must be feeling worse than me.
"Luo Xue, I will get to the bottom of this matter." He stroked my hair and said firmly, "I believe in you and our child."
I raised my head and looked at him with tears in my eyes: "Yuxuan, I..."
"Don't say anything." He gently pressed his fingers against my lips. "I know what you want to say, but now, we both need to calm down."
I nodded, suppressing the doubts and uneasiness in my heart.
In the next few days, Zhong Yuxuan became extremely busy. He often left early and came back late, always exhausted. I knew that he must be investigating the anonymous letter behind my back.
Although I was worried, I didn't ask too many questions. I knew that what he needed now was my trust and support.
One night, Zhong Yuxuan came home with a terribly gloomy face. I had never seen him look so serious before, and my heart skipped a beat.
"Yuxuan, what's wrong? Did you... find out something?" I asked cautiously, afraid to hear any bad news.
He was silent for a moment, then walked to the wine cabinet, poured a glass of whiskey, and drank it in one gulp.
"I... commissioned a private detective to investigate." He put down his glass and said in a low voice, "But..."
"But what?" I asked eagerly.
"The other party was... very cautious and didn't leave any valuable clues." He rubbed his brows, his tone revealing a hint of weakness, "I only found out that this letter... was sent from abroad."
My heart sank. Abroad? Could it be that... this matter was related to some foreign forces?
"Yuxuan, then... what should we do now?" I felt unprecedentedly confused and frightened.
He walked up to me, hugged me tightly in his arms, and said firmly: "Don't be afraid, Luo Xue, I will protect you and the child."
Although his tone remained firm, I could sense that his heart was also filled with anxiety and doubt.
I know that this storm has just begun...
Thunder roared outside the window, pulling my thoughts apart. Since the anonymous letter came, Zhong Yuxuan seemed to have become a different person. He was still gentle and considerate to me, but he often fell into deep thought, with a lingering haze between his brows.
I knew he was investigating the letter and the man hiding in the dark who was trying to destroy our family. But the more he investigated, the more confusing things seemed to become.
That night, Zhong Yuxuan came back very late. I sat in the living room, holding a cup of hot milk in my hand, but I couldn't drink a single sip. The clock on the wall ticked away, and my heart tightened little by little.
Finally, a familiar sound of footsteps sounded outside the door. I stood up suddenly, and before I could greet him, I saw Zhong Yuxuan pushing the door open. He looked exhausted, his tie hung loosely on his chest, and his shirt, which used to be meticulous, was now a little messy.
"Why did you come back so late? Have you had dinner?" I walked up to him and asked with concern.
He pulled the corners of his mouth reluctantly, put his briefcase on the sofa, and said with a hint of fatigue: "Something happened at the company, so I'm only back now. You don't have to wait for me, just go to bed first."
"Did you... find out something?" I hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.
He was silent for a moment, then walked over to me and gently held me in his arms. His tone was gentle but a little bitter: "It's okay, I just ran into some trouble. I will take care of it. Don't worry, just rest assured and take care of your baby."
I knew he was deliberately hiding something, but I didn't know how to speak. I was afraid of hearing the cruel truth, afraid that the truth would tear our originally happy family apart.
"Yuxuan, we..."
"Be good, it's getting late, go to bed early." He interrupted me, bent down and kissed me lightly on the forehead, then turned and walked into the study.
Looking at his lonely back, my heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it became difficult to breathe. I had a strong feeling that something was happening quietly, and I was powerless to do anything.
This feeling of uneasiness continued until the next day. I always felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen. In the evening, I was walking in the garden when I suddenly received a call from Li Luoyao.
"Sister, how are you doing recently?" Her tone was as gentle as ever, but for some reason, I heard something strange in her voice.
"I'm fine, how about you?" I asked casually, holding the phone.
"I'm fine, but I heard..." She paused, as if hesitating about something, "I heard that my brother-in-law is investigating an anonymous letter recently. Is it true?"
My heart sank suddenly and a bad premonition came over me.
"Who told you that?" I tried to stay calm, but my voice couldn't help but tremble.
Li Luoyao chuckled, with a hint of pride in her tone: "Sister, don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually. After all, this anonymous letter is related to the baby's life experience, don't you want to know the truth?"
My breath was choked, and my heart felt like it was being plucked. Li Luoyao's words were like a sharp thorn that pierced my heart. I suppressed my inner uneasiness and said calmly, "I believe in Yuxuan, and I also believe in our child."
"Really? But sister, are you really sure that the child is Yuxuan's?" Li Luoyao's voice was tinged with sarcasm, as if she wanted to deliberately irritate me.
My fingers holding the phone turned white, my nails dug deep into my flesh, but I didn't feel any pain. I took a deep breath and tried to suppress my anger and fear: "Li Luoyao, what do you want to say?"
"I just want to remind my sister that there are some things that you can't avoid just by wanting to. The truth will come to light one day." After saying that, Li Luoyao hung up the phone.
I dropped my hand helplessly, and the phone slipped from my palm and fell on the grass. Li Luoyao's words were like a dark cloud, hanging over my heart, lingering.
I returned to my room, feeling confused. Zhong Yuxuan was still busy in the study. I hesitated for a moment, but decided to go find him to ask for clarification.
I knocked gently on the study door, and pushed it open when I heard his voice. He was sitting at the desk, brows furrowed, holding a document in his hand, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"What's wrong?" He raised his head, saw me, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
I walked up to him, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Yuxuan, what did that anonymous letter say?"
The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his eyes became complicated. He was silent for a moment, put down the documents in his hand, looked at me, and said in a heavy tone: "Luo Xue, there are some things I can't tell you now. Just believe me, I will find out everything and protect you and the child."
"But..." I wanted to say something else, but he interrupted me.
"Luo Xue, believe me." His eyes were so firm and sincere that I couldn't question him anymore.
I nodded and didn't ask any more questions. But I could feel that he was hiding something from me, and it was very likely related to Li Luoyao.
In the next few days, Zhong Yuxuan became even busier. He often left home early and came back late, sometimes even staying out all night. I knew that he must be fully investigating the anonymous letter, but I couldn't help him and could only wait silently.
However, the development of things was far beyond my expectations.
One night, Zhong Yuxuan suddenly came home with a gloomy face and eyes full of anger and disappointment. He threw a document in front of me and said in a cold tone: "Look for yourself."
I picked up the document with trembling hands, opened it, and was suddenly struck by lightning.
The document contained a paternity test report, and the results showed that the DNA similarity between me and the child was only 30%...
At this moment, a text message came from an unfamiliar number: "Want to find your child? Come see me." The air in the room seemed to freeze, and I could even hear my own rapid breathing. The cold paternity test report was like a huge stone, pressing me down so hard that I couldn't breathe. The 30% similarity, this cold number was like a sharp knife, ruthlessly severing the blood relationship between me and my child.
I looked up and saw Zhong Yuxuan clenching his fists, veins popping out, his eyes full of bloodshot, his deep eyes now filled with pain and despair. I knew that his pain at the moment was no less than mine.
"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" I muttered to myself, desperately trying to deny this cruel reality. I tightly grasped the report, my fingertips turned white, and my nails almost pierced my palms, but I didn't feel any pain, because my heart was numb from the pain.
At this moment, my phone screen suddenly lit up, and the text message from the unknown number appeared in front of me again like a ghost: "Want to find your child? Come see me."
I suddenly raised my head and looked at Zhong Yuxuan, only to find that he was also looking at the mobile phone screen with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Are you going?" I asked in a trembling voice, my heart filled with fear and anxiety.
Zhong Yuxuan took a deep breath, put his phone in his pocket, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I want to go! I want to see who is behind all this!"
His tone was full of anger and determination, and I knew that no one could change what he had decided.
We followed the address on the text message and came to a remote cafe. The cafe was empty except for a man wearing a black windbreaker and a duck hat sitting in the corner.
"Is it you?" Zhong Yuxuan recognized the man at a glance. He was the mysterious man who appeared in the hospital that night.
The man took off his hat, revealing an ordinary but somewhat sinister face. He sneered and said, "Boss Zhong, how are you?"
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Zhong Yuxuan suppressed the anger in his heart and asked word by word.
The man did not answer his question directly. Instead, he slowly poured himself a cup of coffee, took a sip, and then slowly said, "I came here to tell you a secret."
His eyes fell on me, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly opened his mouth and told us a truth that shocked us all.
"Your child is not your own flesh and blood..."
The man's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Zhong Yuxuan and I stunned. My mind went blank, my ears were buzzing, and it felt like the whole world was collapsing.
"This is impossible! You're talking nonsense!" I shook my head desperately, refusing to believe this cruel reality.
The man sneered and continued, "You know whether I am talking nonsense or not. Your child is Li Luoyao and..."
He paused deliberately, his eyes swept across Zhong Yuxuan's face, and then he said word by word: "With my child!"
