Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Doing a Paternity Test with Cheng Shang

"It’s just a low fever, and I’ve taken medicine. There’s no need to go to the hospital."

"Since you’ve moved out, why not go to Sparkling Sky City? The villa there is already under your name." Zhou Lin originally transferred the villa in Sparkling Sky City to Cheng Zhiwei, hoping she would move in.

That house held many of their memories.

But since Cheng Zhiwei returned, she stubbornly hadn’t visited even once.

"If it’s mine, aren’t you still living there?" Cheng Zhiwei scoffed icily.

She knew exactly what he was up to.

She hadn’t wanted the villa initially; it was Zhou Lin who insisted on giving it to her.

Now that they were getting a divorce, she didn’t want to dwell on these matters, so she agreed.

Zhou Lin wasn’t angry either. Seeing as this house was only about a hundred square meters, he still felt it was a bit cramped, but since Cheng Zhiwei was willing to live here, he couldn’t say much.

Finally, his gaze fell on the noisy Cheng Yang and He Yuming, and he sighed, "It’s tough for you to live here alone with two kids and also work... I’ll send two maids over to take care of you."

"No need to trouble yourself; I can manage on my own." Cheng Zhiwei had already contacted a domestic service company, planning to hire two maids.

"I don’t trust the people you find." Zhou Lin frowned, his voice stern, directly dismissing Cheng Zhiwei’s statement, "I have suitable candidates in mind."

"Zhou Lin, you’re divorced now. Can’t you just stop showing up in front of Zhiwei?" Xu Tian couldn’t stand it any longer.

Zhou Lin was really annoyed; staying away was best for these three.

Zhou Lin glanced sideways, "Are you and He Lanzhi getting a divorce? Don’t want to anymore?"

Xu Tian: "..."

She was furious but dared not speak.

Divorce was her top priority at the moment, and things were already tough. If Zhou Lin interfered and she couldn’t get a divorce, she truly had nowhere to cry.

"Zhou Lin, what Tiantian means is also what I mean." Cheng Zhiwei said expressionlessly, seeing him, she was reminded of He Mingzhu.

It was very annoying.

Zhou Lin took his phone and went out to make a call, blatantly ignoring Cheng Zhiwei’s rejection.

"This guy really is..." Xu Tian was speechless.

Cheng Zhiwei shook her head, "Let him be."

Anyway, the people he found were definitely checked for their backgrounds; they were reliable.

She couldn’t win against him in stubbornness.

Might as well let it go.

Cheng Zhiwei had no mind to argue with Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin phoned in and Xu Tian was nowhere to be seen, Cheng Xing was restless, and Cheng Zhiwei was pacing back and forth holding her.

"I’ll take her." Zhou Lin approached.

"No need." Cheng Zhiwei avoided him, holding the child even tighter.

Zhou Lin was silent for a few seconds but followed her, matching her steps, and asked in a low voice, "Are you doing a paternity test?"

Cheng Zhiwei suddenly froze, then briskly lifted her head to look at Zhou Lin, "You..."

"Don’t be angry," Zhou Lin quickly explained, "I just happened to go there and found out about it."

"Did your move have anything to do with it?"

"It’s none of your business."

Cheng Zhiwei longed to make a clear distinction from him, but he kept appearing and meddling in her affairs time and again.

"So you think Seo Zhenzhen is Cheng Shang’s daughter, but Seo Zhenzhen died, so you are doing a paternity test with Cheng Shang?" Zhou Lin guessed the situation quite accurately.

Cheng Zhiwei was already annoyed by everything, and now Zhou Lin’s babbling was making her even more irritable.

"Zhou Lin, I’ve told you it’s none of your business."

"If I don’t handle it, who will? He Ye?" Zhou Lin’s expression darkened, "Since you moved out, I haven’t seen him show up."

Men are infuriating when they become stubborn and intrusive.

If Cheng Zhiwei weren’t holding Cheng Xing, she’d earnestly have kicked him out.

"That’s because I didn’t tell him."

"Are you not getting married then? You won’t even tell him about this?"

Married?

Cheng Zhiwei wasn’t sure where Zhou Lin had heard such news, but now, that wasn’t the point.

"Even if we’re married, there are boundaries between spouses."

Zhou Lin sneered at her words, "Boundaries after marriage? What for, just companionship? Are you going to sleep separately on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and only together on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays?"

Cheng Zhiwei: "..."

Absolutely no way to communicate.

She stopped talking.

Zhou Lin furrowed his brows, softened his tone, "Zhiwei, what I mean is, you can tell me anything, I’ll handle it."

"What gives you the right to handle it?"

"I..."

Zhou Lin was furious.

She always used that to stop him.

The atmosphere was tense; Zhou Lin looked down at her fair side profile and the tender gaze falling on Cheng Xing, and then brought up Zhou Ruoki.

"Qiqi is in the hospital now, doing quite well."

Sure enough, Cheng Zhiwei immediately lifted her gaze, "He... is he getting better?"

"He’s just having a hard time accepting it, but he understands the reason. He’s slowly coming to terms, becoming more cheerful."

"That’s good." Cheng Zhiwei felt a sourness in her heart.

At this time, as a mother, she should be by his side, but she couldn’t.

Just then, Xu Tian’s suppressed angry voice came from the room.

"How could you do this?"

"He brought this on himself by offending others, what does it have to do with me?"

After about three minutes, Xu Tian hung up the phone, opened the door, and was met with Cheng Zhiwei and Zhou Lin’s gaze.

She turned her head away, tears finally uncontrollable, falling down.

Zhou Lin patted Cheng Zhiwei’s shoulder, whispering, "Give me Xingxing, you go and accompany her."

Cheng Zhiwei hesitated, carefully placed Cheng Xing into Zhou Lin’s arms, and whispered instructions for him to be gentle and mindful of Cheng Xing’s body temperature.

"I know."

Cheng Zhiwei led Xu Tian to the balcony, softly inquiring, "What happened?"

Xu Tian gripped her phone tightly, looking sideways at the distant sky, "Madam He said if I divorce, I should give He Yuming to them, or else have another child and then take He Yuming away."

"That’s outrageous."

"If I don’t return to the He family, she will send He Lanzhi to where I live now."

Xu Tian pressed her hand against her chest; Madam He had been hysterical ever since He Lanzhi broke her leg.

She was polite and reasonable before, but now she was imperious, as though it was Xu Tian’s fault that He Lanzhi broke her leg.

She didn’t even reflect on the numerous outrageous things He Lanzhi had done outside.

"What about He Lanzhi’s father?" Cheng Zhiwei couldn’t help but ask.

Last time at the He family’s, it was evident that his father was reasonable.

Xu Tian shook her head, desolately saying, "He had already suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, and then when the company collapsed, it took him down too. He has no strength left to care about our matters."

And so, Madam He relentlessly bullied her.
