When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282: Chapter 111: Top Star of the 1960s Arts Troupe

"It’s a shame all the evidence from back then is gone."

Huo Tianhao gently stroked her back and chuckled. "Nothing is ever absolute. Anything that’s done is bound to leave a trace. Don’t worry about this; I’ll investigate it for you."

Xia Zhaoyun’s eyes sparkled as she gazed down at him. "Brother Hao, you’re the best," she said, playfully nibbling his chin.

Huo Tianhao hissed and swatted her playfully. "Are you trying to make it so you can’t go to work tomorrow?"

Xia Zhaoyun let out a mischievous chuckle and snuggled down on top of him again, like a lazy kitten.

A cold glint flashed in her eyes. ’This life is so different from my last one.

’For example, Huo Tianhao is still alive and well, and he’s become my man.

’Song Zhenbao still married Tong Yuanbin, only it happened more than two years earlier.

’And in my last life, the Song Family took from me at will and never faced any pushback. We weren’t openly opposed to each other, and the Zhang Family wasn’t dealt with as easily as they were this time...

’Even though so many things have changed, I still feel like some great hand is pushing everything toward a predetermined outcome.’

What Xia Zhaoyun worried about now was whether Song Zhenbao would get in touch with the reform committee members earlier than she did last time, use their power to throw her weight around the factory, and clear obstacles for the Song, Tong, and Huo families.

’If that happens, since I have no real ties to the Song or Tong families, I’ll probably be the first person Song Zhenbao makes an example of to establish her authority. And everyone on good terms with me could get caught in the crossfire...’

At this thought, Xia Zhaoyun’s lips tightened. She had to be the first to get some dirt on Song Zhenbao!

Her expression grew serious. ’I remember in my last life, even though Song Zhenbao married Tong Yuanbin as she wished and got pregnant, she lost the baby. It happened during an argument with me, when someone ’saw’ me push her over.

’After that, Song Zhenbao was never able to get pregnant again.

’I suspect Song Zhenbao suffers from recurrent miscarriages. Maybe she was pregnant back in the countryside and found some way to get rid of it, damaging her body in the process. That would explain why she couldn’t carry the later pregnancy to term, and why she decided to frame me for it!

’I wonder, this time around, since she got together with Tong Yuanbin two years earlier, if she’ll be able to carry the baby to term.’

Xia Zhaoyun didn’t want to stoop to her level, but if she didn’t get some leverage on Song Zhenbao, she’d be forced into a passive position. She’d just have to wait for her to become a lackey for the reform committee, and then her friends, family, and she would just be cannon fodder for her to cut her teeth on!

Her eyes darted, and she didn’t hide her thoughts, speaking directly to him. "Brother Hao, I suspect Song Zhenbao is pregnant. Do you think you have a way to get someone to find proof?"

Getting pregnant before marriage was considered indecent. If word got out, in this era and under the current political climate, it would be a complete catastrophe.

"I figure that with medical care becoming more advanced and people more health-conscious, Song Zhenbao will probably go to a hospital for check-ups."

No matter how much Song Zhenbao tried to hide it, Xia Zhaoyun could sense something was slightly off during each of their brief interactions. After thinking it over carefully, she had a strong suspicion.
