After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage

Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Ningning’s Blood Sample Error

Yesterday, Granny Li’s birthday banquet did not invite the media, just a few influential photographers were there to document the whole event.

The other group members chattered away, “Damn, am I seeing things? Is that Ning Yichu? The one who was sent packing back in the day?”

“Heard she’s now a special guest Jade Sculptor in Beiji. Last night she gave the matriarch of the Li family a jade carving that had everyone’s eyes popping!”

“Doesn’t that mean she stole the spotlight?”

“If I were Shen Jiangqing, I’d probably be tearing her to pieces with my bare hands!”

“Haha, that’s why you’re all behind on the news. Shen Jiangqing was rushed to the hospital first thing this morning for a heart attack…”

“The strongest ex-wife in history!”

“What do you know? After the dance incident last night, there was more drama!”

“What happened after?”

“Turns out President Li’s daughter went out to play with Ning Yichu, and somehow ended up in the water. Then Ning Yichu dived in to save her without hesitation. President Li jumped in after her, and he gave her several rounds of CPR. If the Li family hadn’t put a gag order on it, the media would have been all over this by now!”

“Talk about drama, did they organize this themselves?”

“Are they going to get back together? What about Shen Jiangqing, and what about the twins she bore?”

“You’re thinking too much. No one in the Li family likes Ning Yichu, except for that old woman. There’s no way they’ll accept her!” At this point, Ji Shiwang posted a picture. It was shockingly a photo of Su Huimiao giving Ning Yichu a hard time at the door, and she mocked, “With that poor and pathetic vibe of Ning Yichu, even if I were Mrs. Li, I couldn’t possibly accept her!”

Mo Baiyou didn’t know when he was added to this group chat, but seeing these people’s mockery and sneers, his expression darkened.

Last night, he should have found a way to go to the birthday banquet with her!

After getting the gist of what had happened, Mo Baiyou decisively chose to leave the group chat.

The next second, the young miss of the Ji family started a private chat with him, “Mr. Mo, why did you suddenly leave the group?”

Ji Shiwang met Mo Baiyou at a cocktail party, where they had hit it off quite well. Plus, his impressive background was fascinating.

Mo Baiyou replied coolly, “You’re all too eloquent for me.”

How could Ji Shiwang not sense the tone?

“Do you think we are being too gossipy? Actually, the scandal that Ning Yichu caused over seven years ago was just too sensational, we…”

Mo Baiyou didn’t even look at what Ji Shiwang sent next. He muted his phone, stood up abruptly, grabbed his coat from the back of his chair, and walked out with long strides.

He happened to run into Deelia, who came in to deliver documents. She was dressed to the nines and said cheerily, “Mr. Mo, the design department already has ideas for the new collection for next quarter!”

“Leave it there,” Mo Baiyou said and walked out without any pause, not giving her a second glance.

Deelia was puzzled and quickly followed, seizing the opportunity to say, “Mr. Mo, are you heading out? I have another matter I’d like to report to you.”

Mo Baiyou glanced at her impatiently, and Deelia, swaying her hips, said, “It has to do with the new Miss Ning you hired! She didn’t show up for work again today. I already asked HR, she didn’t request time off in advance. What makes an employee like her deserve to be the head of the Jade Sculpture Studio?”

Mo Baiyou paused in his step, turned to look at her, and asked, “Are you here to complain?”

“No, no, no, I just don’t want you to be deceived by a woman with no talent who is always late and leaves early.”

“Deelia, I’m grateful that you gave up your career in Europe to come to Imperial City and help me expand my territory, but this doesn’t mean I need your permission to hire anyone. As for her leave, I approved it myself. You’ve been spreading rumors around the office, saying she got her position through backdoor connections. I’ve turned a blind eye once, don’t let there be a second time!”

Deelia had never expected Mo Baiyou to defend Ning Yichu like this, and was even more surprised that he would care about the petty gossip among employees.

For a moment, she felt anxious and her face turned pale, wanting to explain something, but Mo Baiyou had already walked away with long strides.

…

At half-past ten in the morning.

Fan YuKe rushed over with Chen Bao, and seeing Ning Yichu’s haggard appearance, she could not contain her anger.

“It’s all my fault, how did I not notice something was wrong when I picked you up last night?”

“I didn’t think it was severe at the time, don’t blame yourself.”

Fan YuKe grasped her hand with a worried expression, “What exactly happened last night? Today, I still saw people discussing you and Li Lingyang in a group chat…”

Ning Yichu immediately understood; with so many things going on and so many people attending the birthday banquet, “What are they discussing about me?”

Fan YuKe regretted her careless speech and stuttered, “Well, they’re just full of nonsense every day…”

“So it seems they’re not saying anything nice, but that’s normal. There are plenty of people who would enjoy seeing me fail.”

Just do right by yourself, as long as you have a clear conscience, other people’s opinions and views won’t affect your life.

Her only bottom line was her children.

Ning Yichu calmly and simply mentioned the incident at the banquet.

Fan YuKe covered her mouth in shock and then burst into cursing, “Bastard! You were clearly pushed over by Mu Bailang, how did it get twisted as if you were deliberately seducing that big jerk Li Lingyang, and right, since you came home, why did he come looking for you last night?”

Ning Yichu paused for a moment, looking towards Chen Bao.

“He obtained Ningning’s samples without our knowledge and went to have a paternity test done,” her voice carried a hint of worry.

“My God!” Fan YuKe jumped three feet high, dramatically covering her mouth, “Is Li Lingyang the devil? It’s only been a few days since Ningning’s identity was revealed, and he had already gotten a paternity test? What were the results?”

“He most likely used blood samples for the test…”

“Blood samples?” Chen Bao’s dark eyes turned, “I get it, Ningning had a life-threatening illness back then and received a bone marrow transplant, so her blood sample wouldn’t validate a paternity test with her crappy dad. Did he come to you in the middle of the night to ask about Ningning’s origins?”

“Smart.” Ning Yichu didn’t skimp on praise, then said with a pained expression, “But I fear there might be more complications, so YuKe, I’d like you to help me find out where he got the test done.”

“Sure, leave it to me, I’ll find out immediately.”

“And Chen Bao, Li Lingyang’s keenness far surpasses our imaginations, and for now, Ningning should be safe, but I’m afraid he will turn his focus to deal with you…”

Chen Bao’s big eyes flickered with a hidden gleam. This lousy dad, he and Ningning had only feared a paternity test comparison, and yet, despite their careful watch, he had already obtained a sample through other means.

His little fists clenched tightly, carrying a hint of anticipation.

If he wants to come at me, just let him try!
