CHAPTER 674: CHAPTER 669: THE SHOW IS ABOUT TO BEGIN

After Luo Zhiming left, Xu He’s smiling face immediately twisted into something hideous. Heaven knows how much resentment she was holding back while speaking those words. The thought of having to pay for Luo Cuilan’s rent out of her own private stash made her wish she could strangle Luo Cuilan with her bare hands.

Overcome by frustration, she angrily threw things to the floor in the house, cursing under her breath: Luo Cuilan, don’t push me too far, or you’ll truly be left with no way out but death.

There were indeed some things she dared not do, but if she was really backed into a corner, she would have no choice but to act.

Meanwhile, Luo Zhiming, after hearing Xu He’s words, originally planned to check on Luo Cuilan. However, while walking on the street, he unexpectedly bumped into Fang Pingying and Fang Xiu playing with a few children. Remembering how Luo Zhiming had previously taken Haohao away, Fang Xiu clutched Haohao tightly upon seeing Luo Zhiming, terrified that Luo Zhiming might pull another trick.

Little Haohao, however, bore no grudges. He seemed to have forgotten all about Luo Zhiming taking him to draw blood; he only remembered the good things Luo Zhiming did for him. Haohao beamed at Luo Zhiming and shouted loudly, "Uncle, Uncle!"

The little guy was quick with his mouth, and Fang Xiu could not cover it in time.

Luo Zhiming looked over at the voice, and on seeing Haohao, his expression was no longer as gentle as before. Instead, it was filled with darkness and rage.

After thinking for a bit, he walked towards Fang Xiu and Fang Pingying, and with a furious face, he shouted at Haohao, "Don’t call me uncle; I am not your uncle."

Scared by Luo Zhiming’s shout, Haohao immediately began to cry loudly.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu hugged Haohao tighter and glared at Luo Zhiming, scolding, "Luo Zhiming, are you sick or what? If you’re angry, take it out on us adults, why are you yelling at a child?"

Luo Zhiming looked at Fang Xiu with rage and then said, "Fang Xiu, your heart is too dark, aren’t you? You knew full well that Haohao is not my son, but you deliberately made it seem like he actually was. If I hadn’t gone to get the test done, I would have been deceived by you for a lifetime, raising this bastard as my own."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu couldn’t accept it and almost blurted out that Haohao indeed was Luo Zhiming’s child—"Luo Zhiming, you..."

But fortunately, Fang Pingying was composed. She saw Fang Xiu’s intention and timely cut off what Fang Xiu was about to say. Then she looked sternly at Luo Zhiming and barked, "Luo Zhiming, shut your mouth. Enough with calling him a bastard over and over. Just because he’s not your child, does that make him a bastard? Well, let me tell you, the child in Xu He’s belly might be even more of a bastard."

This statement left Luo Zhiming genuinely stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to grasp the implication of her words. When he started to suspect the meaning behind Fang Pingying’s comment, he waited for her to explain, "What do you mean by that?"

"Figure it out yourself. If you can understand, that proves you’re smart; if not, it’s just your fate," Fang Pingying remarked. At this point, she considered that she had been fair to Luo Zhiming, and it was indeed his own fate whether he accepted it or not.

She didn’t dwell on the matter, only reiterating the situation regarding Haohao to Luo Zhiming, "However, since you’ve made it clear yourself that Haohao is not your child, that’s great. Whatever happens in the future, don’t bother us or Haohao. We’d be glad."

Luo Zhiming was still immersed in the significance of Fang Pingying’s words and didn’t respond.

Fang Pingying gave him a glance and called out to Fang Xiu, "Fang Xiu, let’s go."

Once they had walked some distance away from Luo Zhiming, Fang Xiu leaned in close to Fang Pingying and whispered, "Sister, what’s going on? Haohao can’t possibly not be his child."

Fang Pingying also felt there was something fishy, but she didn’t elaborate in front of Fang Xiu and the children. She just consoled Fang Xiu, "Isn’t it better that he says the kid is not his? Then he won’t come to snatch Haohao from you in the future."

Fang Xiu finally came to her senses and eagerly exclaimed, "Right, right."

Although she told Fang Xiu that, Fang Pingying still felt a knot in her heart about this matter. Looking left and right, she always thought that the older Haohao got, the more his eyes resembled Luo Zhiming’s. It must be that Luo Zhiming was truly blind not to see this point, and with Fang Xiu’s own confirmation, she was nearly ninety percent sure that Haohao was Luo Zhiming’s child.

But Luo Zhiming said they had tested it, and indeed Fang Pingying saw him taking Haohao to the hospital for a blood test that day. This was not a lie. So, was there an error in the process, or was it just a coincidence that Haohao looked like Luo Zhiming and was actually unrelated to him?

Fang Pingying was the kind of person who wouldn’t rest until she found the real answer. To clarify the matter, she defiantly took the blood of both Luo Zhiyong and Haohao to test their relationship.

Of course, taking Luo Zhiming and Haohao’s blood for testing would be the most direct approach, but it was challenging to obtain his sample.

Fang Pingying sought help from people she knew, and the test results came back quickly; Haohao was related to Luo Zhiyong.

To be precise, given their relationship, Haohao was definitely Luo Zhiyong’s nephew, which meant Haohao was indeed Luo Zhiming’s biological son.

That is to say, someone deceived Luo Zhiming during the blood type testing.

It didn’t take long for Fang Pingying to think of who could have deceived Luo Zhiming.

That person was Bai Jing. Fang Pingying remembered that Bai Jing was present when they took Haohao’s blood. Furthermore, among the people Luo Zhiming knew, only Bai Jing had the capability to tamper with the hospital’s lab report.

Initially, Fang Pingying, unaware of the collusion between Bai Jing and Xu He, couldn’t fathom why Bai Jing would involve herself in this matter and take such a significant risk to fabricate this lie.

Considering that Bai Jing was a nurse at the hospital, if she was caught fabricating results, she would undoubtedly face punishment.

Besides, for Bai Jing to obtain this kind of lab report, she would certainly have to involve many people. She would expend a considerable amount of favors and money on a matter that had nothing to do with her. Why would she be so eager to do it?

But one day, when Fang Pingying saw Bai Jing leading a group of people to her doorstep, knocking and calling for Fang Xiu and Zhou Guangsheng to come out, she finally understood what Bai Jing intended.

At that time, Bai Jing was at the very front of Fang Pingying’s doorstep, followed by the Zhou family and the Luo family.

The so-called Luo family comprised Luo Zhiming, Xu He, and Zhou Yunmei.

To escalate the situation, Bai Jing even brought Zhou Yunmei from the countryside to the city.

There was another person Fang Pingying never expected to see—the man both she and Fang Xiu despised the most and the one who had a history with Fang Xiu, Liu Junting.

It seemed Bai Jing was truly planning to stage a dramatic scene by inviting so many people.

However, it suited Fang Pingying just fine. She felt it was time to settle things with these people, or at least to teach Bai Jing a lesson. She couldn’t let Bai Jing continue getting away with whatever she wanted, committing murder or causing trouble at her whim, without anyone being able to stop her.
