Chapter 378: Chapter 378 Zhao Qingya’s Character

Lee Mi said helplessly, “If that’s the case, then we’ll have to think of something ourselves.”

Lee Mi and Han Muchuan decided at that moment that they would temporarily relocate two of their Hai City companies to Imperial and establish a foothold there first.

The next day, they sat on the train back to Hai City, utterly dejected.

They set out at noon and didn’t get home until the following afternoon.

After a night of restless sleep, they woke up to find Zhao Qingya waiting for them in the living room.

“Mom, what brings you here?”

Lee Mi cozied up to Zhao Qingya in a spoiled manner.

Zhao Qingya rolled her eyes and said coldly, “You two are making progress too slowly. I’m afraid I won’t live to see the day you avenge me, so I’m preparing to take matters into my own hands.”

Both Han Muchuan and Lee Mi were shocked, exchanging glances before saying in unison, “What do you want to do?”

Zhao Qingya smiled scornfully, “I plan to…”

Zhao Qingya quickly laid out her plan.

After listening, Han Muchuan fell silent for a long time before saying, “You want me to pretend to be your and his biological son, but nowadays medical science is so advanced, parentage testing can uncover everything. It won’t fool him.”

“I have a way to manage that. Just follow my instructions.”

Han Muchuan wanted to object, but Lee Mi said, “Brother Si, I think it’s worth a try. According to Mom’s plan, you’re an ignorant party. Even if the plan fails, Han Zheng won’t hold you responsible.”

“Right,” Zhao Qingya smiled, the two-inch-long scar on her face appearing even more ferocious, but she seemed completely unaware as she said softly, “Mimi is smart, hitting the nail on the head. Muchuan, I chose this plan because even if I fail, neither you nor Mimi will be held responsible.”

Han Muchuan pondered carefully before finally nodding, “Alright then.”

The three of them conversed intimately as if true family, not realizing that Erhu had been monitoring them all these days.

He quickly took a recording of their conversation back with him.

Han Zheng and others, “…”

Having achieved nothing in Imperial over the past dozen days, they hadn’t expected that as soon as they returned… the truth would come to light.

Was Zhao Qingya really the person behind the scenes?

And the woman, rumored long dead, not only was she still alive, but she was also plotting revenge against Han Zheng with such determination?

Han Zheng felt innocent.

He sighed deeply and explained, “After what happened between Zhao Sulan and me, I originally wanted to sever ties with the Zhao family, but one day Zhao Qingya approached me, confessed her feelings, saying she actually liked me. Although she had resented the prearranged marriage, she had become unwittingly attracted to me.

When she found out Zhao Sulan had manipulated me, she was insanely jealous. She said she didn’t mind what had happened between me and Zhao Sulan; as long as I devoted myself to her after marriage.”

“I was young then, hadn’t fallen in love with anyone else, and always liked to keep my promises, so I agreed.

Soon, I was meant to return to my hometown for some errands. Before leaving, some friends threw me a send-off party, I drank a bit too much, and then… things happened with her.

I had promised to marry her immediately after coming back from my hometown, but unexpectedly… I lost my memory for five or six years.

When I returned, she had been married for several years. She wanted to divorce her husband and marry me, but I had no deep feelings for her, how could I agree?”

“A year later, she suddenly went missing. Her husband found her shoes by the river, everyone thought she was dead, little did they know she’d been sold…”

Shen Ci’s heart stirred upon hearing this, “Our investigation into her revealed that her husband died falling from a window at their home – apparently an accident… might it be…”

Perhaps it wasn’t an accident.

Given Zhao Qingya’s frenzied quest for revenge, it was likely her doing.

Han Zheng shook his head, “Actually, I don’t know her well. Or perhaps we can ask the butler.”

Saying so, he immediately made a call to the butler.
