Chen Yingge felt that Jiao Yushi’s expression looked a bit wrong, with a vague sense of schadenfreude.

He had previously thought that he and Jiao Yushi had a friendship, but now he doubted this thought.

Jiao Yushi raised his chin, signalling the other party to stop talking nonsense and quickly take a look at the ‘cute’ documents.

Chen Yingge felt that he was being despised, but he didn’t say anything more and opened the file to read it.

His expression darkened from the moment he read the first page. He became more and more absorbed as he read the following pages, and he didn’t even noticed that the food had been served.

While Jiao Yushi watched the other party’s increasingly livid face, from time to time, he would gaze at the beautiful scenery outside the window. He ate exquisite food paired with good wine and had a perfect dinner.

After reading the whole report, Chen Yingge stared out the window blankly, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Jiao Yushi felt that the other party’s expression was also good.

Chen Yingge was silent for a long time and he left without saying a word.

Jiao Yushi couldn’t help but smile as soon as the other party was gone. Then he took out his phone and called Chen Cha.

“Hello. He’s read the information.” In the information Jiao Yushi gave Chen Yingge, there was only the part about Chen Chacha not being the Chen family’s biological child. “Have you eaten?”

“Just finished.” Chacha replied, “Thanks for today. I’ll buy you dinner tomorrow.”

Jiao Yushi asked, “Do you remember you still owe me eight meals?”

“I do.” Chacha was a little dumbfounded. “Why do I feel that the more I treat you, the more I owe you?”

Jiao Yushi was silent for a moment before replying, “Maybe you’re destined to be my slave?”

“……You really don’t know how to talk properly.”

Chen Cha’s tone sounded a little helpless and indulgent.

Jiao Yushi’s heart skipped a beat and he suddenly felt the whole world go quiet.

He didn’t care that he had been labeled as someone who ‘can’t talk properly’ and ‘can’t understand the atmosphere’. Now all his thoughts were gone, leaving only one thing—— Chen Cha definitely likes him. How long did she has a crush on him?

Why else would she talk to him with such a cute tone?

Chen Yingge headed straight to the parking lot after exiting the restaurant and drove home. His speed was slightly faster, but he didn’t violate traffic rules.

It was evident that he was still calm at this time.

The ‘calm’ Chen Yingge returned home.

The Chen family’s house was located in a villa area in the city. The people who live there were naturally either the wealthy or the powerful. However, they don’t usually see each other because the distance between the houses was too far.

Passing through the tree-lined road, Chen Yingge’s vision gradually opened up. In front of him were a lawn and a garden, extending into the distant huge villa that looked like an English castle. But although the house had a vintage style, it was relatively new and doesn’t have as high a maintenance cost.

Chen Yingge drove straight towards the house and parked the car in front of the main entrance. He then got out and headed in.

There was no expression on his face, but his footsteps were rapid.

Chen Yingge pushed the door open and entered. There was no one in the living room other than the housekeeper, who saw him coming back and greeted him. She took the coat he took off and asked, “Young Master Chen, have you had dinner?”

“Yes.” Chen Yingge asked, “Are my grandparents at home?”

The housekeeper nodded and said, “The Old Master and the Old Madam are playing chess in the large study.”

There were many study rooms in the house and the largest one was located at the back of the first floor. It contains a large collection of books, along with a large number of out-of-print ones.

The other study rooms were smaller in comparison and were exclusives ones connected to each room. No one could go there except themselves and the housekeeper.

“Mm.” Chen Yingge nodded and said, “Please help me call my parents and ask them to come back. No need for my sister. Tell them that I have something very important to say.”

“Okay.”

The housekeeper was also an elderly person and she had no idea what was happening.

But as someone who had been working in this family for a long time, she felt that something big was about to happen judging from Chen Yingge’s expression. She had a feeling that things were about to change. She didn’t dare take it lightly and hurriedly called Chen Pengfei and Cheng Yufei.

The old master of the Chen family was in his seventies. He has a straight back and a face that was rosy. He looks both healthy and amiable.

The old madam, on the other hand, was thin and small in stature. Although she’s at home, she still wears makeup, which was relatively light. There was no expression on her face and she looked a bit serious.

“Grandpa, Grandma.” Chen Yingge called out.

When the two elders heard his voice, they temporarily moved their eyes away from the chessboard. After exchanging a few words with him, they asked, “What brings you back today?”

Chen Yingge nodded a bit heavily and said, “Something came up. Let’s talk about it when Mom and Dad arrive.”

The two elders didn’t ask any more questions and their eyes returned to the chessboard.

As the two finished playing a game of chess, Chen Pengfei and Cheng Yufei returned.

Chen Pengfei’s fortieth birthday was approaching. Due to lack of exercise, he had gained a bit of weight. He has good-looking facial features, fair skin, and a countenance that seems to attract wealth.

Cheng Yufei asked, “Where’s Chacha? Why isn’t she present?”

Chen Pengfei stood silently on the side, still thinking about work. If the housekeeper hadn’t said that his son appeared extremely serious and seemed to have something very important to say, there was no way he would have put down his work and come back.

His son has matured early and needed no discipline. He had never let him down when he grew up. Therefore, he believed that his son really wanted to say something particularly important because he was so solemn.

Chen Yingge glanced at the door, and upon seeing that it was properly closed, he said, “Chacha, might not be a child of our family.”

Everyone: “……?”

Cheng Yufei couldn’t help laughing. “Yingge, although Chacha is a bit foolish at times, you shouldn’t dislike her so much. A child that came out of my belly, can I not know if she’s my daughter or not?”

Chen Yingge handed Cheng Yufei the documents Jiao Yushi gave him.

Cheng Yufei never thought of the possibility. She made nothing of it but still took the documents to read it.

Chen Pengfei, however, thought that his son wouldn’t say unfounded words, so his attention was finally pulled back from his work. He looked at Chen Yingge and asked, “Yingge, what’s going on?”

Chen Yingge’s expression remained heavy as he said, “Wait until Mom reads the document and look at it as well.”

After Cheng Yufei read the information, she fell silent and her expression was heavy, filled with doubt and anger.

Chen Pengfei fell silent as well after reading the documents, but he looked in a much better state than Cheng Yufei, only frowning slightly.

The two elder had also seen what was written in the papers. Old Madam Chen snorted coldly. “If this is true, then the person who replaced our granddaughter really got a lot of nerve.”

Grandpa Chen’s smiling face also fell. His fingers lightly tapped on the chessboard as he said, “In any case, do a DNA test first.”

Everyone agreed and then went to make arrangements.

The house was filled with gloom but the two elder didn’t express much feeling and continued to play chess.

When the Chen family’s two grandchildren were born, they hadn’t yet retired. They’ve worked in a secret organization in Z City and wouldn’t go home all year round and would also leave soon after they returned home. They didn’t spend much time with their two grandchildren until they’ve retired and settled on their hometown. The two children were already in their teens by that time.

They acted as educators, disciplining the two children on behalf of their parents who were also not home every day.

But having two children, perhaps this issue could occur—— one was clever and bright, while the other was slow and foolish.

The older brother was a quick learner. And though the little sister wasn’t particularly stupid and was already quite smart compared to most people, with such an older brother, she appeared like one.

The two elders originally thought that it was okay to be stupid and it wasn’t like they couldn’t protect her. They could still give her a stable and happy life without any hardships.

But they saw through the girl’s corrupt heart and found it difficult to stir her back to the right path. It was the reason they didn’t like their granddaughter, but only their grandson.

Therefore, if this thing was true, they would be a little happy to hear it.

The most uncomfortable ones where Cheng Yufei and Chen Yingge, who had truly protected Chen Chacha for many years and worried about her.

Chen Pengfei was much better. After he made arrangements, he thought about work again and hurried back to the company.

His way of thinking was much simpler. He would give everything for his own children and not let them be wronged. But as adults, they have to find things to do by themselves. The older generation doesn’t care so much.

It made him feel good about himself. But while he acknowledged the blood ties and assumes the responsibilities that came with it, it didn’t come to his mind that parents must also give love to their children.

In just two days, the people arranged by Chen Pengfei obtained Chen Chacha’s samples, sent them for testing, and received the results.

The information given by others could be forged, but information obtained by oneself was conclusive evidence.

The Chen family members who still held a glimmer of hope plunged into a real abyss, with each expression darker than the other.

The five people sat around in a circle and were silent for a long time. Cheng Yufei was the first to speak, her voice slightly trembling and her tone confused, “How can this be? Impossible. When was she replaced?”

Chen Pengfei said solemnly, “I will investigate this matter.”

Cheng Yufei’s lips trembled and her eyes were red. She was sad but also angry. She couldn’t figure out how this kind of thing could happen.

It was too…… unexpected.

Tragedy always strikes unexpectedly.

“Then…… what about her?” Chen Yingge’s tone was quite heavy. Everyone knew who he was referring to.

Old Master Chen spoke up, “She’s naturally a stranger. But she’s at least been with us for many years and treated her as our own. There’s no need to blame her as she’s also a victim.”

Several people nodded.

The truth was confirmed, but more complicated emotions arose. They each went back to their rooms to calm down.

A few days later, the news that Chen Chacha was the child of the Chen family disappeared without a trace. Some reporters even said that relevant sources revealed that Chen Chacha wasn’t the Chen family’s biological child.

As soon as this news came out, the Internet was on fire again.

This time, the relevant news hadn’t been blocked, but it had not been confirmed either, so it was more entertaining.

Netizens were having a lot of fun, and the leading character, Chen Chacha, was so terrified that it felt like her gallbladder and liver were about to burst. She was so scared that she couldn’t eat or sleep.

She was under too much stress and a lot of her hair fell out.

Her whole person looked haggard and pitiful.

The biggest reason why she was so scared was that it had caught her off guard. She originally thought she could go on for three or four more years without anyone knowing, so she had been pretty relaxed recently.

She didn’t expect things to change drastically in just a few days, leaving her unable to cope for a while. She even had nightmares of her hands and feet being chopped off several times.

After two days, Chen Chacha finally calmed down and decided to go home to check the situation first.
