Chapter 298: Chapter 298: He Is Your Biological Son

If Zhou Lin stepped in, things would become much simpler.

Zhou Lin.

Seo Zhenzhen’s heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale in an instant.

If it was Zhou Lin, then everything would make perfect sense.

But when did he find out?

"Miss Seo?"

"Take me to see him, no, take me back to the apartment."

Once back at the apartment, Seo Zhenzhen collapsed on the floor, her emotions never calming down.

She was acutely aware of one fact: Zhou Lin had found Huang Ye, and perhaps Huang Ye had already fallen into Zhou Lin’s hands, which is why the police had those chat records.

Huang Ye’s phone, in Zhou Lin’s hands.

She trembled as she took out her phone and made a call.

An hour later, the doorbell rang.

Seo Zhenzhen immediately stood up, flung open the door, and threw herself into the man’s arms, crying out, "Lanzhi."

He Lanzhi was caught off guard and stood frozen for a moment, but naturally wrapped his arms around Seo Zhenzhen’s waist, although his expression was exceptionally ironic.

Didn’t she despise him as useless? Why was she throwing herself at him now?

He asked somewhat coldly, "What happened?"

Seo Zhenzhen nestled in his embrace, crying uncontrollably, "Lanzhi, what should I do?"

He Lanzhi grew impatient, half-holding Seo Zhenzhen as he made his way to the living room and sat her down on the sofa: "What happened?"

When Seo Zhenzhen had called him, he did not want to come at first; he had not forgotten how not long ago, Seo Zhenzhen had cursed him as worthless.

"It’s Zhou Lin, he had the police take me away, saying that I attempted to hire someone to commit murder, but how could I possibly do such a thing?" Seo Zhenzhen sobbed, "He feels guilty towards Cheng Zhiwei and wants me to be disgraced in order to make things right for Cheng Zhiwei."

He Lanzhi was aware of what had happened online, and while he would not have believed it in the past, now he believed Seo Zhenzhen capable of such a thing.

After all, she was never a kind person.

"Zhenzhen, the police will naturally investigate this thoroughly," He Lanzhi did not support Seo Zhenzhen as he had before, instead, said ambiguous, noncommittal words.

Seo Zhenzhen’s crying choked in her throat; she knew he was still angry.

She fiddled with her fingers, tears continuously falling, her face pale, "I know you’re still angry because of the words I said, but Lanzhi, in your eyes, do you really think I’m the kind of person who would despise you?"

He Lanzhi stood up sarcastically, "Seo Zhenzhen, I’m sick of your sweet nothings. You coax me when you need me, and kick me aside once you’re done using me."

With a cold demeanor, he said, "I, He Lanzhi, may be useless, but it’s not your place to point fingers."

Seo Zhenzhen bit her lip, crying innocently, "I just wanted you to pull yourself together, to be more ambitious, not to be humiliated by Xu Tian."

He Lanzhi turned his face away.

Because of his situation with Xu Xin, Xu Tian made the matter of his allowance public, and now the whole city knew, with everyone who knew him well mocking him behind his back.

He had become a laughing stock wherever he went.

And this month, Xu Tian had even stopped his allowance, so in fact, he hadn’t left the house in half a month.

It was very shabby.

And very humiliating.

Seeing his expression soften, Seo Zhenzhen slowly approached him, grabbed his hand, and gently swayed it, coquettishly pleading, "Lanzhi, I just want you to become more motivated. If not for yourself, then think of Qiqi."

"He is your own flesh and blood."

Lanzhi’s indifferent expression cracked, and she asked anxiously, "What happened to Qiqi?"

"Zhou Lin is treating me like this to take revenge for Cheng Zhiwei. As long as Cheng Zhiwei forgives him, they will definitely remarry. What will happen to our Qiqi then? Should she live at the mercy of Cheng Zhiwei? Or be at the beck and call of Xu Tian?"

As she spoke, she wept sorrowfully, "I called you here because I want you to find a way to protect Qiqi."

"I’m fine, but Qiqi must not be affected."

Seo Zhenzhen sobbed, "I know you have He Yuming as a son now, and Qiqi may be dispensable to you. But she’s the only child I have."

"What nonsense are you talking? Qiqi is also my child," Lanzhi said with a stern face and coldly.

"Lanzhi, what should we do about Qiqi in the future?"

"Stop crying." Lanzhi’s heart softened, and she turned around to embrace Seo Zhenzhen, "I won’t let anyone bully Qiqi."

Seo Zhenzhen cried even harder, "If you were still the young master of the He family, I would have nothing to say. But now that Xu Tian has control over everyone in the He family, what can you use to protect Qiqi?"

Lanzhi pursed her lips and remained silent.

Wiping away her tears, Seo Zhenzhen held Lanzhi’s face and kissed his lips, "I’ve never blamed you; it’s just that I feel so sorry for you, Lanzhi."

Unable to bear it any longer, Lanzhi grabbed Seo Zhenzhen and kissed her fiercely.

The two entwined together.

When everything ended, Seo Zhenzhen curled up in Lanzhi’s arms, lazily touching the spot over his heart with her finger, "You’re so good; how could I have fallen for someone like Zhou Lin."

Lanzhi laughed under his breath, "Zhenzhen, don’t worry, I will protect you and Qiqi."

"But your family..."

A fierce expression surfaced on Lanzhi’s face, "The company was originally ours; Xu Tian is just occupying a spot."

"But your parents like her."

"I am their only son. I just didn’t want things to get too ugly before," Lanzhi said as he lit a cigarette and wrapped an arm around Seo Zhenzhen, "But now, for Qiqi and you, I won’t hold back on sentimentality anymore."

Seo Zhenzhen cast her gaze down, hiding the scheming in her eyes, and snuggled softly into Lanzhi’s embrace, "Lanzhi, from now on, I’ll only follow you. You’re the only man for me, Seo Zhenzhen. Let’s raise Qiqi together."

Lanzhi put out the cigarette and pulled Seo Zhenzhen back underneath him.

He made a fierce resolve, this time, he was determined to show Seo Zhenzhen what he was capable of.

...

The song that Cheng Zhiwei and He Ye sang together achieved very good results, and with the release of the recordings, Seo Zhenzhen was severely criticized.

She could argue in front of the police that Huang Ye’s recording was a forgery, but in the face of numerous netizens, she couldn’t clear herself even with a hundred mouths.

Someone even released a video of Cheng Zhiwei singing the OST for Wen Ya’s TV drama three years ago, a voice that still startled and amazed when heard today.

With the evidence of Zhou Lin and Bai Zhuzhu being seen together often from three years ago also resurfacing, Cheng Zhiwei suddenly became an object of pity among netizens. Even the old investigation results of Bai Zhuzhu’s car accident provided by the police were reposted.

The netizens did not believe it at the time, but now everyone felt slapped in the face, and they were even more disgusted with Seo Zhenzhen. All her works were boycotted, including her songs and albums, and the various shows she appeared on were taken down from the entire internet.

In contrast, the video of Cheng Zhiwei’s OST from before was trending, receiving a great deal of popularity.

"Zhiwei, we succeeded.", the calm voice of He Ye came through the phone, "Congratulations."

"Thank you," Cheng Zhiwei said with a smile and tears. No one could imagine how long she had waited for this day and what she had been through.

Fortunately, heaven sent her He Ye.

He Ye pulled her out of the quagmire.
