The two elders of the Chen family couldn’t really settle down to play chess. They became interested in Chen Cha and were curious about what kind of person she was, what kind of life she used to lead, and how she could have the courage to go head-to-head with a powerful family.
So they went to find out about Chen Cha. She was famous and there were countless things about her on the Internet.
The two elders were very good at using computer. They went through all of Chen Cha’s posts on Weibo and couldn’t help but admire her.
Old Master Chen had always been very collected, but after seeing Chen Cha’s Weibo, he still couldn’t help but feel heartache.
One was because the child has indeed suffered a lot.
Second, under such circumstances, the child could still carve her own path and continue to strive for greater heights. Her talent, hard work, and mentality were all superior.
If the child grew up in the Chen family, she would have been more excellent.
Old Master Chen looked on with great interest.
Old Madam Chen said, “If this child is really our family’s child……”
She didn’t finish her words.
Old Master Chen said, “I figured she is. All the coincidences—”
His words abruptly stopped and his expression suddenly stiffened.
Old Madam Chen turn towards him. “Hmm?”
Old Master Chen took out his phone and called Chen Yingge.
Chen Yingge’s voice came from the other end, “Hello, Grandpa, what is it?”
Old Master Chen asked, “That previous document about Chen Chacha not being our family’s child, who gave it to you?”
Chen Yingge didn’t know what to make of it, but he still replied, “Jiao Yushi. You’ve seen him before.”
“En, I’m hanging up.” Old Master Chen ended the call and said, “Wife, guess who gave Yingge that document.”
“Your old phone is so loud I can hear everything. What else can I guess?” said Old Madam Chen.
“You also know, don’t you? Chen Cha and Jiao Yushi have a very good relationship. So after knowing the matter, won’t Jiao Yushi tell Chen Cha?”
Old Madam Chen’s expression also changed. “Are you saying Chen Cha knew about this from the beginning, and that Jiao Yushi giving the information to Yingge was all instructed by her?”
Old Master Chen smiled. “Looking at it that way, all coincidences fits.”
Old Madam Chen was silent. Unexpectedly, they had just sent away a person who had once humiliated them, and another person with more advanced methods came.
Old Master Chen said, “Now we are only waiting for the DNA test results. If she’s really our family’s child, then that’s just a pity.”
Old Madam Chen was puzzled. “What’s a pity? Are you thinking that Chen Cha knew the truth from the start and was planning to take revenge on us because of what happened before? I don’t think she will do that. It won’t do her any good.”
Old Master Chen answered, “If the child had grown up in our family, she would’ve surely been more excellent.”
Old Madam Chen: “……” Insane.
She added after the silence, “But now I’m more certain that Chen Cha is our own blood. However, since she knows the truth, why didn’t she come to us?”
Old Master Chen smiled mysteriously and said, “We’ll know sooner or later.”
Old Madam Chen clicked her tongue.

Chacha always pays attention to the matters online. One day, suddenly, there was no news about Chen Chacha.
Everything about Chen Chacha disappearing completely was definitely the work of the Chen family. Even if others wanted to mess with her, they would still worry about the Chen family and do it secretly, not as blatant as this.
Chen Chacha wasn’t particularly popular, but she still has a certain number of fans. They didn’t react at first, but after a day, they suddenly rioted and started frantically shouting online whether someone was trying to burry Chen Chacha.
But the topic didn’t make much of a splash before disappearing the next day.
Chen Chacha’s manager posted on Weibo, saying that Chen Chacha planned to lead another life and retire, and to not worry about her.
Chen Chacha’s official account forwarded the post and her fans quieted down.
Of course, there were some die-hard fans who spread various speculations on Weibo, but they also disappeared later on.
Who would’ve known that it wasn’t only done by the Chen family, but also by Chen Chacha herself?
She knew this was a situation where she had to run away fast. She couldn’t keep a high profile anymore. Her fans seemed to be doing it for her own good, but in fact they would cause her death.
That’s why she had to take time to explain to her fan group that she planned to study abroad and hoped that everyone would support her. Moreover, she said that the Chen family has given her the best resources and introduced teachers to her, so she also hoped everyone would stop talking about the matter on Weibo anymore, as she would feel apologetic.
The fans calmed down after being comforted by her.
Only she, her fans, and her manager know about this.
The manager felt that Chen Chacha had matured a lot and knew how to let go in a timely manner.
People online thought Chen Chacha was completely done and antis rushed to spread the news around.
Chacha believed that the Chen family must know the truth from the developments online.
If they didn’t know, they’ve at least been family with Chen Chacha for more than ten years. At most, they would banish her from the family records but wouldn’t be too cruel to her. But it was different if the Chen family know the truth. If they didn’t ban Chen Chacha, they would be embarrassed to call themselves an influential family.
Yesterday, Chen Chaacha was still the young lady of the Chen family, towering above others and able to get whatever she wanted.
Today, she fell from grace.
A word from the Chen family was all it takes.
Chacha pretended not to know and went about her daily life.
The only thing that bothered her was that it had been a long time and Jiao Yushi hadn’t contacted her again.
She reflected on this. Was it because she was too used to being ‘pursued’ by others, so when faced with a sudden lack of entanglement, she suddenly felt uncomfortable?
But she quickly dismissed the idea.
Because she thought of Wei Jinsheng who hadn’t contacted her for a long time. She didn’t feel anything nor remember him at all.
Looking at it this way, she had to face one thing.
Perhaps, she really fell into Jiao Yushi’s hands.
Chacha checked her phone before going to bed, but Jiao Yushi still hadn’t send her any message.
That guy obviously likes her, but after leaving for a month, he abruptly cut off contact with her.
Chacha though to herself, ‘Fine, if you can bear it, then let’s see who can bear it better.’

X Country, at a hotel.
Jiao Yushi washed up and lay down on the bed. He checked his mobile phone before going to sleep. He was done with the seminar and was currently participating in close-door training.
It was said to be closed-door, but in fact, they could connect to the Internet at night.
Chen Cha still hadn’t sent him any message today.
Even when he bothered her before, she still tolerated him, which was unprecedented. Although Chen Cha was patient and tolerant, she’s also a principled person.
To be able to tolerate him so much, it’s obviously because she likes him to bits.
As a result, it’s been a month and she hasn’t contacted him even once, tsk.
Jiao Yushi thought to just continue enduring. Wait until he returns to the country to feel the spring.
The two share the same thoughts but they still didn’t contact each other.

Chacha received a call from Lu Caiwei the next day.
“Chacha, are you free? Let’s go watch a movie together. There’s a newly released one that I heard is quite good.”
Of course Chacha was unavailable, but she still said with a smile, “You called me, so I’ll make time even if I’m busy.”
Lu Caiwei said, “Ah, don’t. If you’re busy, then let’s just do it next time. I don’t want to disturb you.”
Chacha told her, “Don’t be so polite to me. We haven’t seen each other for a while, so it’s a good time to get together.”
“Okay, okay, okay, then I’ll buy the tickets first. You can come over directly. I’ll send you my location.”
“En.” Chacha hung up the phone and left the office after telling Ding Puyu that she had something to do for the afternoon. After putting off everything else, she drove to the Plaza Cinema.
The place was very close and was only half an hour away, but there’s heavy traffic, so the travel time became an hour and a half.
Chacha called Lu Caiwei midway and asked her to watch the movie first, but Lu Caiwei said that it was fine and that she’d wait for her.
Chacha had nothing to say.
The reason Lu Caiwei was so patient today was because she was feeling guilty.
When she was asked to steal a strand of Chen Cha’s hair, she felt uneasy. However, based on recent events, she thought that Chen Chacha was a fake and Chen Cha might be the real thing, which was why they needed her DNA sample.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that reality could even be more magical than fiction.
After careful consideration, and although it was a bit of hindsight, Chen Cha did look a lot like Cheng Yufei when she was young, both in appearance and figure.
But before, when Chen Chacha defamed Chen Cha, the Chen family came forward to handle the matter, which was tantamount to offending Chen Cha.
That was very embarrassing.
Fortunately, she’d always been fond of Chen Cha and after the previous incident, she still stood by Chen Cha’s side, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing now.
And if the DNA test proves that Chen Cha was indeed the genuine one, it would be even more embarrassing than it already was.
Chen Cha was the kind of person who looks gentle and warm, but was actually very tough on the inside. When the truth comes out, if they wanted Chen Cha to return home…… When that time came, she could only silently sympathize with Uncle and Aunt.
Therefore, Lu Caiwei, who was in a complicated mood, waited patiently. It just so happen that this period of time could be used to buffer these extremely complex feelings.
When Chacha arrived at the cinema, she saw Lu Caiwei’s ‘spectacular’ expression.
She pretended not to notice, and after greeting the other party as usual, they bought a new ticket together, along with drinks and popcorn.
After watching the movie, Lu Caiwei was very anxious. The movie was so good that she forgot the magical reality and watched it with great concentration.
However, she still hadn’t gotten even a strand of Chen Cha’s hair.
Chacha was also engrossed in watching the movie, but she didn’t expect Lu Caiwei to be more engrossed than she was, so she knew the other party would look for an opportunity to get her DNA sample.
As they were leaving the premises, Chacha said, “Caiwei, do you have gray hair?”
Lu Caiwei shook her head, then suddenly feeling that there’s an opportunity, she said, “Let me see if you have gray hair.”
“Mm. “Chacha paused and let the other party look the back of her head.
Lu Caiwei tugged on Chen Cha’s hair a few times while saying, “Hey, you have a knot here, let me loosen it for you.”
Chacha hummed.
Lu Caiwei took the opportunity to pull out two strands of hair and quickly hid them behind her back.
Chacha turned around and pushed the cola cup into Lu Caiwe’s hand. “Please hold this for me while I go to the lavatory.”
Happiness came too suddenly. Lu Caiwei nodded quickly and told Chen Cha to hurry and to not hold it in.
Chacha went to the lavatory to wash her face and received a call from Lu Caiwei, who said she had to leave beforehand. Chacha naturally agreed.
After Lu Caiwei made an appointment with Chen Cha to go play together next time she was free, she immediately ran to Chen Yingge’s company and gave him the gathered hair sample and a straw.
