Stealing Your Heart Chapter 438

Lin Xinyan knew that she wouldn’t have chosen Peichuan to help her out if she didn’t have a proper reason. She chose to confide in him because she knew he could be trusted and was smart enough to keep his mouth shut.

“I want to go meet Bai Yinning.” She’d been to Bai Yinning’s place before and knew which hotel he was staying in.

Hearing that, Shen Peichuan’s eye twitched. He knew very clearly how much Zong Jinghao hated Bai Yinning’s guts.

“Peichuan, you’re Jinghao’s closest friend. What do you think I should do?” Lin Xinyan was torn.

She was worried that her selfishness would hurt Zong Jinghao.

After all, Cheng Yuxiu was his mother.

However, Shen Peichuan was confused. “What are you talking about?”

“I’m talking about Cheng Yuxiu. If she really is Jinghao’s biological mother, should I tell him?” She stared at Shen Peichuan, hoping for an answer that would soothe her conscience.

“How’s can that be? This could never happen. It’s impossible!” Shen Peichuan couldn’t believe it.

That was way too strange of a scenario.

How could Cheng Yuxiu possibly be Jinghao’s mother?

One shouldn’t make jokes like that.

“I mean it. If it turned out to be true, should I tell him?” Lin Xinyan’s expression and tone of voice didn’t seem like she was joking. At that moment, Shen Peichuan went silent.

After a long time, he finally started speaking again. “I don’t know. It seems like something that would take a toll on him. How would you feel if you found out that you hated your own mom for so long? How’s he supposed to feel about this?”

Then he turned towards Lin Xinyan. “Anyway, is it even true?”

It just seemed too strange to be true. Cheng Yuxiu as Jinghao’s mother?

“You’ve heard about Wen Xian and Zong Qifeng’s marriage being an arranged one, right?” Xinyan pressed her lips together. Her voice sounded slightly hoarse.

She felt like that was life’s way of playing tricks.

“I’ve heard of it.”

“At the time, Wen Xian already had someone else she loved. She didn’t love Zong Qifeng at all. After they got married, they were simply acquaintances. They never loved each other as a married couple would. After that, Wen Xian felt sorry for Zong Qifeng and started looking for a woman who would be willing to accompany him instead.”

“And that woman happened to be Cheng Yuxiu?” Shen Peichuan felt as if he had gotten struck by lightning. How could that be?

Why would someone help their own husband find another woman to love?

Was it really just because she didn’t love him?

“You probably know how powerful the Wen family is. Wen Xian wanted to give this child a proper identity, so she lied to everyone. Not even the other Wen family members knew, only herself.” There were even more details that she didn’t bother getting into.

Peichuan didn’t know what to say.

“But still, that doesn’t explain why you’re going to see Bai Yinning. What does he have to do with all this?” Shen Peichuan felt like this old case involved quite a lot of people.

“You’ve been to Baicheng before, so you’ve probably heard about Bai Yinning’s background. He’s Bai Hongfei’s adopted son, and Bai Hongfei was Cheng Yuxiu’s first love. When Wen Qing found out about Yuxiu and Qifeng’s relationship, he thought Cheng Yuxiu was the homewrecker who ruined his younger sister’s marriage.”

By the time she finished, Shen Peichuan was pretty much all caught up on everything now. So Cheng Yuwen, the Cheng family, and the tea silk were all connected.

“Bai Yinning looked for Yuxiu’s midwife. His goal was to work with Jinghao and take Wen Qing down since he’d gotten hurt by her before,” Lin Xinyan explained.

“And you don’t want Jinghao to know?” Despite it being a question, Xinyan could hear the determination in his tone.
