Chapter 295: Two Paternity Tests

In the villa, Ning Huaiqing watched the video of Sheng Hongyao accepting a media interview, knowing how great an impact the public opinion online was having on Sheng Yu.

Most netizens were accusing Sheng Yu of being irresponsible, while a small portion of netizens were insulting her for having no self-respect or self-love, and for immorally and secretly giving birth to a child in a delusional attempt to use the child to elevate her status and enter the top tier of Jingdu City's high society in one fell swoop.

She did not care about those words used to insult her; no matter how others cursed, it would not cause her any fluctuation, as she only cared about Sheng Yu.

Right now, he was facing such immense pressure that she was burning with anxiety.

She had not expected the course of events to still develop to this point.

What she had once feared would happen to Sheng Yu had actually turned into reality.

Back then, she had followed Sheng Hongyao's instructions; one wrong step led to every step being wrong, and now she had to face Sheng Yu being deeply mired in public opinion.

"Mommy~" Youyou ran out of the children's room, moving his short little legs.

During this period, he had not been sick again, the flesh on his face had grown back, and when he ran, his two little cheeks would jiggle.

Ning Huaiqing hurriedly turned off her phone, looking at Youyou, who was leaning against her legs, with complicated feelings.

For the past two days, because of the pressure of public opinion, Youyou had not gone out; although the villa had a large area and many fun things, he was a child after all, and he was set on going out to play.

But compared to children of the same age, he was much more sensible, as if he knew the adults' troubles, and he did not make a fuss.

Little Youyou raised his head to look at her, "Mommy, when will Daddy come to play with Youyou?"

The milky voice melted Ning Huaiqing's heart; her debt to Youyou had grown greater during this time, and she was always thinking that if she had been hard-hearted and not given birth to him back then, it would have been better, and she wouldn't have let Sheng Hongyao find this loophole.

Before she was sent abroad by Sheng Yu, she had clearly taken the morning-after Medicine, but she had not expected that the morning-after Medicine could not prevent pregnancy one hundred percent of the time.

And in a place she did not know, Sheng Hongyao had sent people to monitor her, not sure if she would remember that the man that night was him, to the extent that he discovered she was pregnant and she could not bear to abort the child.

From that time on, Sheng Hongyao began his Genetic Engineering plan.

On one hand, he was certain that she believed the child in her womb was Sheng Yu's and would give birth to it wholeheartedly.

On the other hand, he schemed to have Zhu Jingyao imprisoned, but he never expected that the target he had arranged for people to harass, Zhu Jingyao's younger sister Zhu Yuan, would later become involved with Sheng Yu.

These were all things she had pried out of Sheng Hongyao's mouth; of course, for this, she had also paid with her dignity, yielding time and again to the man who had forcibly taken her.

How Ning Huaiqing wished she could return to the past, change her mind, and not have given birth to Youyou.

He was so innocent; he should not have been brought into this world by her own selfish desires to serve as Sheng Hongyao's pawn.

Looking at Youyou, who was innocent and knew nothing, Ning Huaiqing could not bear it and hugged him tightly in her arms, unable to bring herself to tell him the truth, "Daddy is busy lately and has a lot of work to handle, be a good boy, Youyou."

Youyou opened his dark, round eyes and nodded, appearing to understand yet not, "Youyou knows."

Ning Huaiqing lowered her head and kissed Youyou's round head; at this moment, the sound of an engine drove into the villa courtyard.

This car sound was familiar, and her body instinctively stiffened.

Youyou, in her arms, felt her abnormality, looked up at her, and asked in confusion, "Mommy?"

Ning Huaiqing did not want to scare the child, so she touched his head, "It's nothing, Youyou, go play with your toy train."

Youyou slid from her legs to the floor and was just about to go to the children's room to play with toys when the villa door opened.

A tall figure leaning on a cane appeared at the villa entrance, and upon seeing Youyou, he smiled and spoke, "Youyou!"

Youyou, who had been worrying that no one was playing with his toys, had his eyes light up, and he trotted over with his short little legs, "Grandpa, Mommy, Grandpa is here!"

Hearing Youyou's address for the man, Ning Huaiqing knitted her brows, her expression very poor.

Sheng Hongyao walked over with his usual expression and took Youyou's hand, shaking it gently, "Youyou, go play first; Grandpa has something to discuss with Mommy."

He gave the nanny a look.

Youyou nodded obediently and let the nanny lead him away by the hand.

After dismissing the servants and Bodyguard, Sheng Hongyao walked to the sofa, turned, and sat down, pulling Ning Huaiqing's shoulder, "Sheng Yu will soon be unable to withstand the pressure and will acknowledge Youyou's identity; as Youyou's mother, even if Sheng Yu doesn't marry you then, you will still be the most important woman by his side."

He smiled and kissed her hair; it was a very fragrant scent, and he liked her more and more, "I let you realize your wish, why are you still looking unhappy?"

Ning Huaiqing endured her nausea, "Using this way to force him, how could I be happy? Do you think that even if he really acknowledges Youyou's identity, he will have a good look for me?"

Sheng Hongyao toyed with her soft fingers, raised his eyes to look at her face, and a trace of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes, "Is that so important?"

"I was just saying it; I haven't completely let go of Sheng Yu yet, so naturally I would care about his opinion of me." Ning Huaiqing did not want to annoy Sheng Hongyao.

When he got angry, he would find ways to demand and vent on her.

Yesterday, Youyou had accidentally caught sight of the bruises on her wrists; she had explained that she had bumped into something by accident, and fortunately, Youyou was still young and believed her words implicitly.

Although Sheng Hongyao did not hit her, the tricks he used to torment her in bed were more than she could bear, yet she could only grit her teeth and endure.

The servant had finished preparing the meal; Ning Huaiqing carried Youyou to the children's high chair, the nanny fed him, and Ning Huaiqing served soup for Sheng Hongyao.

At the dining table, only Youyou was babbling, Ning Huaiqing tasted nothing, and Sheng Hongyao took two phone calls, both from his confidants at the Sheng Group, the directors of the corporation.

He smiled heartily while taking the calls, hearing them say on the phone that the company's stock had already fallen to a historic low, and they were going to jointly petition to force Sheng Yu to acknowledge Youyou, otherwise they would make Sheng Yu step down from the position of Chairman.

Ning Huaiqing accidentally knocked over the soup bowl, and the soup spilled on the table and her dress.

"Mommy!" Youyou called out worriedly.

Ning Huaiqing pulled a few tissues to wipe it up, turning back to comfort him, "It's okay, don't worry."

She called the servant over, wiped the soup off the table, had her get a new soup bowl, and said, "I'll go upstairs to change my clothes first."

After returning to the room, Ning Huaiqing locked the door and immediately took out her phone.

After eating later, Sheng Hongyao would definitely want her to accompany him; she only had this much time, and she had to tell Sheng Yu about Sheng Hongyao's plans, so that Sheng Yu could be prepared before going to the company tomorrow.

Thinking that her number had been blocked by Sheng Yu, she hurriedly called Yuan Fengye.

But before she could even dial the number, the sound of a key turning came from the door behind her; she was startled, and the door was pushed open from the outside.

With a bang, the door hit the wall.

Sheng Hongyao, leaning on his cane, suddenly appeared.

Ning Huaiqing's heart tightened; she had been too nervous about Sheng Yu just now, with her mind set only on warning him, and had not noticed the movement outside the door.

She had not paid attention to the sound of Sheng Hongyao's cane.

Sheng Hongyao snatched her phone away, only to see that her phone screen was displaying his Baidu Encyclopedia page, and the content happened to be his preferences.

"What are you doing?"

Ning Huaiqing forced herself to calm down; if she were not calm at a time like this, she would be finished.

"My clothes are dirty, I'm coming up to change."

"What is the meaning of this?" Sheng Hongyao held up his phone.

Ning Huaiqing took a glance, her heart beating fast and chaotically; she had already prepared a contingency plan, so she calmed down quickly and was just about to explain something when suddenly Sheng Hongyao's phone rang.

His gaze fixed on Ning Huaiqing like a hawk, and he took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID.

After Secretary Jiang died, he had selected another trusted aide.

He answered the phone, his voice very cold, "What is it?"

"Mr. Sheng, it's bad; Sheng Yu has published two paternity test reports in the media, one is between Youyou and him, and the other is between Youyou and you."

Sheng Hongyao's expression gradually turned cold, and the hand holding the phone tightened abruptly, "What?"

"The test results show that he and Youyou are brothers, and Youyou and you are father and son."
