Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 939
He regretted that Chu Xiang, such a talented individual, was not his daughter. But even if he hadn’t discovered the mistake in the paternity test, now that the truth was revealed, he couldn’t hand over the company to Chu Xiang, even if she was willing to accept him as her “father.” He had worked hard all his life and was determined to pass on the Chu family business to his biological offspring. Just like when he preferred Chen Xuan over Chu Xiang before, he would have educated Chu Xiang through teachers because regardless of whom he favored, he would pass on the family legacy to his biological child.
Having witnessed Chu Xiang’s brilliance, Mr. Chu had high expectations for his unborn son. Unsatisfied with having a child with an ordinary person, he spent a lot of money to find a beautiful and intelligent female doctor who had returned to the country. He promised her company shares after she gave birth to a healthy son.
Such a woman was hard to find, and those willing to become mistresses and bear children were even rarer. But when the stakes were high, it was still possible to find someone.
Mr. Chu cared deeply about this child. Because he was away on business, he was afraid of being cheated on, so he hired a nanny, maid, and driver to take care of the mistress. In reality, they were there to keep an eye on her.
From then on, Mr. Chu had to go on business trips for a week every month. Three months later, the female doctor finally confirmed her pregnancy. Mr. Chu was overjoyed, and his anticipation for the child made him more attached to his little family outside. He couldn’t help but want to visit them frequently. Seeing how much he cared about the child, the female doctor didn’t want to settle for just a small amount of dividends. Naturally, she started to show him tenderness and consideration, thinking about her future position.
Chu Xiang didn’t need to hire someone to keep an eye on people; she had the Qiankun Mirror. Moreover, the Qiankun Mirror could shrink space, so if she wanted to monitor Mr. Chu in another city, she could simply send it there. She was the only one who knew everything about him during this period.
How could she not let the legitimate wife know about such a big piece of good news? After all, she still wanted to play the role of a vicious supporting female antagonist. During another of Mr. Chu’s “business trips,” she anonymously sent the mistress’s place of residence to Mrs. Chu, along with photos of Mr. Chu embracing the mistress and gently caressing her belly.
Mrs. Chu was only angry at Mr. Chu for finding another woman, but when she saw the obvious signs of pregnancy, her alarm bells went off. She immediately hired a few thugs to accompany her and catch them in the act.
As for Chu Xiang, she helped by leaking the information to the local paparazzi.
As a result, Mr. and Mrs. Chu made headlines in major financial news reports the next day.
Accompanied by a burly man, Mrs. Chu stormed into the villa to catch them in the act. Seeing her husband protecting the mistress, she couldn’t contain her anger and personally went forward, grabbing the mistress by the hair and engaging in a violent fight. This resulted in the mistress accidentally being knocked into the coffee table, leading to an on-the-spot miscarriage.
Several photos were also included in the reports. Mr. and Mrs. Chu became completely famous, and even ordinary people who had not paid attention to them before now knew about them.
The hidden secrets of the wealthy family, oh! For the common people, the Chu family was definitely a prominent family. As a result, the news buzzed and was reported for two to three days. The Chu family’s scandals, from mistaking their daughter to mistreating her and even having an illegitimate child, were all exposed.
Of course, Chu Xiang didn’t hesitate to provide information to these people privately.
The disputes within the Chu family were exposed, and Chen Xuan, the fake rich girl, naturally came under scrutiny. People discovered that she was actually the lead actress in the recent popular youth film. Initially, after watching the movie, they regarded her as a campus goddess and even saw her as the epitome of their first school crush. However, now they found out that she despised the poor and favored the rich, framed her sister, sent her parents to prison, and didn’t focus on her studies.
How was she even fit to play in a youth film? She was an insult to youth in this movie!
Netizens and fans in the entertainment industry joined in. Soon, the scandals of the Chu family were completely exposed to the world, becoming a topic of gossip for everyone. Some people felt disgusted by the Chu Corporation and didn’t even want to use their electronic products anymore. As for Chen Xuan, who had just gained some popularity and was in the process of selecting high-quality resources, she was caught off guard by these negative revelations. All the good opportunities were taken away from her, and even in several TV dramas where she had a significant role in her previous life, she wasn’t given a chance to play even a minor supporting role.
Chen Xuan was furious, and her first thought was about Chu Xiang. When she first entered the entertainment industry, Chu Xiang had threatened to make her lose roles and expose her scandals. And now, isn’t that exactly what happened?
Knowing that she wouldn’t fare well against Chu Xiang, Chen Xuan immediately called Mrs. Chu and informed her that it was highly likely that Chu Xiang was behind all this, seeking revenge on them.
Mrs. Chu had no positive impression of Chu Xiang and became somewhat suspicious upon hearing her words. Despite their strained relationship, she was still entangled with Mr. Chu due to their shared interests and had not divorced him. For the sake of the company’s future, she went to see her husband and showed him the anonymous messages she had received, revealing that Chu Xiang was the prime suspect.
Unsure of who was causing harm to him, Mr. Chu felt uneasy and sought the help of a private detective with this clue. The investigation revealed that Chu Xiang had been busy investing in projects in Beijing throughout the summer vacation, working as hard as he did when he first started his business. There was no evidence of any involvement with the Chu family or any expenditures related to such matters. Moreover, there were no records of communication with the city where the third party resided.
All the signs indicated that Chu Xiang had nothing to do with this incident.
Of course, the investigation couldn’t find anything because Chu Xiang has a cheat!
Mr. Chu felt like he had wasted his time uncovering such a result. He found Mrs. Chu unreasonable and incredibly foolish, unaware that she had been manipulated by Chen Xuan. At the same time, he lost the last trace of paternal affection for Chen Xuan.
As the investigation yielded no results, the situation became more serious for Mr. Chu. Someone was leaking information to Mrs. Chu, possibly even contacting paparazzi. It was evident that there was someone lurking in the shadows, closely watching them. The fact that this person even knew about his well-guarded extramarital affair was truly terrifying. It felt like there was a sword hanging over his head, making him restless day and night.
