Chapter 83: Chu Li Sees the Paternity Test

The best hotel in Yuncheng.

Qin Xingwan stood in a shadow on the second floor, followed by two bodyguards in black, forced to watch the lively scene below.

Madam Chu rested her hands on the railing, her tone full of joy and showing off, "Qin Xingwan, today I will let you see how grand and romantic my son's engagement is."

"See how attentive he is to Mingzhu."

She had originally intended to lock Qin Xingwan up, but thinking that to make her completely give up, she had to let her see with her own eyes how grand Chu Li and Cheng Mingzhu's engagement was,

she brought her here.

Qin Xingwan had to witness with her own eyes the importance the Chu family placed on Cheng Mingzhu as a daughter-in-law.

One must know that when Qin Xingwan married Chu Li back then, there wasn't even a wedding banquet.

Comparing the two, she didn't believe Qin Xingwan wouldn't break down.

Qin Xingwan didn't speak; she watched downstairs quietly.

Without needing to search much, she saw Chu Li; he was in a wine-red suit, exceptionally handsome, and beside him, Cheng Mingzhu was in a pink long dress, also a beauty who had dressed with care.

The two walked arm in arm, circulating among the guests.

On Chu Li's face was a gentle and considerate smile.

Qin Xingwan thought, liking can be faked; this saying is truly correct.

The emcee took the microphone onto the stage, and Madam Chu straightened her clothes and left gracefully.

After the emcee finished speaking, Chu Li and Cheng Mingzhu went on stage; the two were going to write their names on the marriage certificate, which was Cheng Mingzhu's idea.

She liked a sense of ritual.

Only this way could she feel at ease.

Just as they were about to put pen to paper, the doors of the banquet hall were pushed open.

"Wait."

Wen Lvzhong stood at the entrance, holding a megaphone in his hand.

Therefore, that shout of "wait" was louder than the music in the banquet hall, attracting everyone's attention.

Cheng Mingzhu had a bad premonition in her heart, the smile on her face somewhat forced: "A Li, let's sign first."

Chu Li put down the pen, looking coldly at Wen Lvzhong, who was striding over.

Wen Lvzhong walked in front of them, glanced at the marriage certificate, and dropped the megaphone, "Chu Li, let's talk."

Chu Li arrogantly raised his chin and sneered nonchalantly.

"If it's for your son's illness, you'd better wait a few days; perhaps in a few days when I'm in a better mood, I'll be willing to save your son."

Madam Chu stepped forward: "Lvzhong, whatever the matter is, wait until the ceremony is finished before talking; you go down first."

Wen Lvzhong only looked at Chu Li, "Three minutes; if you still want to get engaged after listening, then I won't disturb you."

The smile on Chu Li's face gradually disappeared; he was full of gloom, lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

"A Li, don't listen to him, let's sign first," Cheng Mingzhu urged, even writing her own name first.

But Chu Li did not pick up the pen.

He nodded toward Wen Lvzhong, "Speak."

Wen Lvzhong took a piece of paper out of his pocket, "Take a look at this."

What he gave Chu Li was the paternity test report for Qin Xingwan and Wen Ping'an.

"Xingwan has nothing to do with Ping'an," Wen Lvzhong explained.

He hoped the paternity test could make Chu Li make the correct decision.

Chu Li finished reading the paternity test, slapped it onto Wen Lvzhong, his tone disdainful: "You think with a piece of paper like this, I could believe that things between you and her are clean and innocent?"

He curled his lips sharply, not giving Wen Lvzhong any face.

"For the sake of that son of yours, she even thought of a method like this; you still say you aren't true love?"

"What, do I, Chu Li, deserve to be deceived by you?"

Wen Lvzhong frowned; he hadn't expected Chu Li not to believe the paternity test, but instead think it was a trick of Qin Xingwan's.

"Chu Li, she doesn't know I came to find you."

"And, your engagement now is very unfair to her."

This was an insult to Qin Xingwan.

Chu Li narrowed his eyes, with a bit of malice.

"Does her family background compare to Mingzhu's, or is her appearance above Mingzhu's?"

"Would a normal man choose a woman like her who was pregnant before marriage?"

He spoke freely, not noticing that Madam Chu was frequently looking in the direction of the second floor.

She was very happy that her son had such an understanding.

Qin Xingwan, however, was already streaming with tears.

She finally knew why Chu Li had readily agreed to go get the divorce certificate.

It was because he believed she was pregnant before marriage and wasn't worthy of him.

He found her dirty, only fit to be his mistress.

Her tense body was tottering.

Her gaze looked straight at the man downstairs, the man she had liked and wanted to spend her life with, now expressionlessly saying words that hurt her.

He despised her family background, despised her appearance, and despised that she had had a child.

His inner thoughts were so cruel.

It shattered her heart into pieces.

Wen Lvzhong coming here was actually to try to win a chance for Qin Xingwan.

If Qin Xingwan still liked Chu Li, and Chu Li also had feelings for her, then they should clear up the misunderstandings and be together properly.

If Qin Xingwan had no feelings for Chu Li, then Chu Li, upon knowing the truth, should be able to let Qin Xingwan go.

He had not thought that Chu Li would be so disgusted by and hateful toward Qin Xingwan.

Even with the paternity test as proof.

Cheng Mingzhu's heart, which had been held high, finally dropped back to its original place; she was filled with sweetness, hooked her arm through Chu Li's, and her eyes were full of triumph.

"Lawyer Wen, you should advise Qin Xingwan that once divorced, she should let go of the past and stop pestering A Li; it's not a good look."

Wen Lvzhong carefully put away the paternity test and said coldly, "Since that is the case, then I wish you both a long and happy life together."

"As for Xingwan, I will find her and bring her back."

Chu Li's eyes darkened, and he blocked Wen Lvzhong, who was preparing to leave, "What do you mean by that?"

What did he mean by "find her and bring her back"?

Wasn't she staying perfectly well at Beicheng Villa?

Wen Lvzhong used his shoulder to shove him aside, "Continue with your engagement."

He had only learned that Qin Xingwan had been taken away by Madam Chu after she had already left; if he were to search for her, it would be very difficult for him alone, so he could only gamble on Chu Li.

He had bet correctly.

Chu Li was furious; he pulled his arm away from Cheng Mingzhu's grasp with great force, causing Cheng Mingzhu to even stumble.

"Wen Lvzhong, explain yourself clearly."

Wen Lvzhong simply refused to say.

Both of them stared fiercely at each other.

Madam Chu's heart pounded; if Chu Li knew that Qin Xingwan was right upstairs, having seen everything and heard everything, he would show no mercy to her, his mother.

Yes, even though she pointed at Qin Xingwan every time and cursed her for being shameless and pestering Chu Li, she knew perfectly well in her heart who was actually pestering whom.

"Enough, A Li, this is your and Mingzhu's engagement banquet; do you want everyone to watch a joke?" she scolded, hoping Chu Li would come to his senses.

Cheng Mingzhu's eyes were already red.

With so many people watching, his questioning the whereabouts of another woman had made her a laughingstock.

Chu Li rubbed his temples and looked at Assistant Wu in the crowd.

Assistant Wu was an all-around expert who not only handled his boss's work arrangements perfectly but was also adept at managing his boss's every mood.

Assistant Wu immediately left the crowd to make a phone call.
