Chapter 153: What Actually Happened That Night

Han Dongbei said anxiously, "I didn't do anything to her at all!"

Meng Xinghua shouted, "Didn't do anything? Then how did she get pregnant with your child? Have you forgotten that you spent a night in her dormitory?"

"I was drunk that night, she took me back to her dormitory, and the next day she told me that nothing happened between us." Han Dongbei was speaking to Ye Caiyue: "I remember that day, my dad scolded me a few more times, and in a fit of anger, I went off to drink."

"You are a man, and a man who is married with a son at that; do you not know whether anything happened or not?"

"But she said nothing happened, and I don't remember what happened that night either."

Meng Xinghua roared, "But she got pregnant two months later!"

Han Dongbei: "..."

He stood there speechless, then said, "But she didn't tell me anything, and we didn't have any contact afterward. Are you sure she was pregnant, and that the child is mine?"

Meng Xinghua spat: "My daughter is a silly girl. Even though she was pregnant, she wasn't willing to look for you. No matter how I beat or scolded her, she wouldn't tell me who the child's biological father was. She would rather be a single mother and raise your child by herself. She didn't want a single cent from your family. If I hadn't gone through so much trouble to track down your family, I still wouldn't know that person was you."

"No, impossible..." Han Dongbei muttered.

Bai Shuruo watched all of this from the side.

If it were before, she would have felt very sympathetic toward Han Dongbei.

Although Han Dongbei had made mistakes, he was not a bad person, and he had even given her an unforgettable birthday once, letting her be a princess for a day.

However, ever since she suspected that Han Yangting was the one who had ruined her father, she had an indifferent attitude toward everyone here.

She even stood out, pretending to be fair and just, and said, "Whether Meng Ze is Dad's child or not, we'll know once we do a DNA test."

After hearing Bai Shuruo's words, Ye Caiyue also said coldly to Han Dongbei, "You handle the child you stirred up yourself."

"I..." Han Dongbei was in a difficult position.

"You can accept this child, but you must move out of the Castle. Even if you don't accept him, if they want money, then pay them your share. In any case, this child cannot enter the Manor. Inside this Manor, there can only be one child: Han Yangting."

Han Dongbei couldn't help but say, "Fine, then I'll go do a DNA test. I haven't done such a thing, so it's impossible to have a child; that child definitely isn't mine."

Once Meng Xinghua was done making a scene, he led Han Dongbei away.

Han Yangting and Bai Shuruo took a car to the company.

Han Yangting didn't speak the entire way, and Bai Shuruo knew without thinking that he was very distressed.

His own parents were on the verge of reconciling, and harmony in the family brings prosperity, but halfway through, a Meng Xinghua had to pop up.

When the car was halfway there, Han Yangting called Ali: "Go and investigate Meng Ze. Find out if he is really the illegitimate son of the Han Family, and his mother, and his past over these years. I want to know if his entry into the Baiyin Group was a coincidence or a premeditated plot."

After finishing the call, Han Yangting asked Bai Shuruo, "Ruoruo, what do you think of this matter? What kind of person do you think Meng Ze is?"

Bai Shuruo put on a little-white-rabbit expression: "Brother Han, I don't know. This Meng Ze, he should be a pretty good person; he must have been planning to enter our company for a long time."

Han Yangting said, "Don't get too close to him in the future."

Bai Shuruo said, "But, Meng Ze's work ability is good, and he gets along quite well with me. Besides, he really did save me. I think... let's keep one thing separate from another. Don't fire him, okay?"

Han Yangting looked at Bai Shuruo, his heart softened, and he agreed.

Meng Ze seemed to be unaware of the scene Meng Xinghua had made.

When Bai Shuruo entered the office, she saw Meng Ze working. He greeted her as usual, "Good morning, Bai Vice President."

Bai Shuruo nodded at him and said, "Come in with me for a moment."

Meng Ze followed Bai Shuruo into her office.

Bai Shuruo invited him to sit across from her desk, then looked at him with a serious expression.

The more she looked, the more she felt that Meng Ze looked like Han Yangting.

Meng Ze felt his skin crawl from being stared at, and couldn't help but ask, "Bai Vice President, why are you staring at me like that? It makes me feel quite embarrassed. Could it be that you want to fire me?"

Bai Shuruo smiled: "This morning, you were indeed almost fired, but I stopped it. I hope you stay."

"Oh? Who wanted to fire me?"

"Han Yangting."

Meng Ze had a cynical look: "Could it be that he is jealous of me? For being able to spend time with you day and night?"

Bai Shuruo said directly, "I heard that you are the illegitimate son of the Han Family."

Upon hearing this, Meng Ze's expression sank instantly.

"Who said that?"

"Your grandfather. He made a scene at our home this morning. I suppose it won't be long before your grandfather notifies you to go for a DNA test."

Meng Ze's expression didn't show a hint of joy; on the contrary, he appeared very angry, as if this were a shameful matter.

After a while, he looked at Bai Shuruo and smiled sarcastically: "You must be laughing at me right now, thinking that I want to fly up the branch and become a phoenix?"

"Flying up the branch to become a phoenix isn't a bad thing. If you are the illegitimate son of the Han Family and the Han Family has treated you unfairly all these years, you should actively take back what you have lost. At the very least, you should make the Han Family pay back these child support costs."

Meng Ze stared at Bai Shuruo: "You really think so? Aren't you afraid that because of my affairs, the Han Family's reputation will be ruined?"

Bai Shuruo sneered: "What am I afraid of? That's the Han Family's business, not mine."

Meng Ze looked incredulous: "Bai Vice President, you are deliberately trying to fish for information from me, aren't you?"

"Why would I fish for information from you? What good would that do me? I'm doing this for your own good."

"But why do I feel like you are mocking me?"

Bai Shuruo sneered: "What qualifications do I have to mock you? I myself come from a humble background, and it was only because I married a good man that I flew up the branch to become a phoenix."

Just as she was speaking, Meng Ze's phone rang.

He looked down; it was a call from Meng Xinghua.

"Come down. I'm at the entrance of your company. Go and do a DNA test with your biological father."

Meng Ze said, "I'm not going."

"I have your hair in my hand, but you had better come down, otherwise the Han Family will think this hair isn't yours."

Meng Ze hung up the phone.

Bai Shuruo said, "You should hurry down. The Han Family does not believe in your existence, but your grandfather insists that you are a child of the Han Family. I think that no matter what, you must give your grandfather the truth, and give the facts the truth. Otherwise, where will your grandfather put his face? If this blows up, you won't be able to stand firm in the company either, and by then, everyone will say you are trying to cling to the powerful and wealthy."

Meng Ze seemed to struggle for quite a while.

In the end, he still went down.

And Bai Shuruo sat for a while.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Han Family's attention was currently on Meng Ze, and taking advantage of the time when they were in a complete mess, she flipped through the old employee handbooks.

Among them were some who were older, had long tenures, especially those who had been with Han Yangting at Baiyin Group over a dozen years ago, including those who had already resigned.

She collected all these files and then studied them one by one.

Later, she locked onto one person among them, Yan Guoan.

Although the former Sirui had already been deregistered, the employee resumes would have records of the positions held at that time.
