#New Actor Yun Yuexian is Actually the Illegitimate Son of the Yun Corporation President, His Mother is a Mistress#

The trending number one topic, with a big bold “explosive” word in red at the front, was impossible to miss, even if you wanted to ignore it.

Given Yun Yuexian’s current popularity, it’s not surprising for some scandal about him to hit the trending list. But to reach this level so quickly? It was clear that money was spent to push this up.

Clicking into the trending topic, the first post was all about this bombshell, with not just text but photo evidence as well.

The pictures showed Yun Haowei and Huo Lijuan being very affectionate. Both of them looked quite young, clearly taken many years ago.

There were also images of them with Yun Yuexian, who appeared to be only about four or five years old, smiling brightly while holding his parents’ hands.

The photos were high-definition, so clear that it was undeniable, even by the people involved.

The official story is that Yun Yuexian comes from a blended family, with Yun Haowei being his stepfather, and that his mother married Yun Haowei when Yun Yuexian was around ten years old. But the child’s age in these photos didn’t match up at all.

The most damning piece of evidence was the final picture—a paternity test between Yun Yuexian and Yun Haowei, with the result clearly indicating they were father and son.

Back when these events took place, the previous wife of Yun Haowei was still alive. What did that suggest?

[Holy crap! Yun Yuexian is an illegitimate child?!]

[This is some huge drama!]

[Help, I used to say he looked quite a bit like his “stepfather,” turns out it’s because they’re actually related!]

[This world is so messed up.]

[Yun Corporation’s president always advertised himself as a family man, devoted to his wife. He even used his ex-wife’s image for marketing—what a scumbag!]

[So, Yun Yuexian’s mom secretly hooked up with his dad for years before marrying in when Yun Yuexian was ten? Poor original wife!]

[Which account photoshopped this to slander our baby Xian Xian?! Get lost!!]

[Hahaha, the fan above is in denial! The proof is solid and they’re still pretending it’s not real!]

[Yun Yuexian’s been having a bad streak lately. First targeted by some big players in the industry, and now this scandal. Whose toes did he step on?]

[Honestly, I’ve never liked him much. Always felt his innocent, harmless persona was all fake.]

[Wait, let’s be fair. Even if his mom is a mistress, the kid is innocent, right? He didn’t choose to be born.]

[Sure, he didn’t choose his birth, but lying? That’s all him. He publicly said Yun Haowei was his stepfather, and that they were a blended family.]

[Wait, does anyone remember? When he got injured and hospitalized, there were rumors that it was his brother who hit him. He didn’t deny it but went out of his way to say “it’s not my brother’s fault,” which made people hate his brother even more.]

[Yeah, and when you think about it, this kind of thing has happened a lot. He always makes it seem like his brother dislikes him, which made his fans hate on his brother constantly, even leaving nasty comments!]

[Wow, he’s really good at playing the victim!]

[And didn’t his brother lose the use of his leg due to an accident? He’s in a wheelchair for life, and yet Yun Yuexian’s fans still attack him online. I feel bad for him now…]

[To be fair, Yun Yuexian is an illegitimate child, and his brother is the legitimate son. Even if his brother doesn’t like him, isn’t that understandable?]

[Ugh, the most disgusting people are cheating husbands, mistresses, and illegitimate kids who don’t know their place!]

[What’s wrong with being an illegitimate child? Don’t they have human rights too?! They’re just as innocent!]

[Are there some illegitimate kids in the comments freaking out now?]

[Even if Xian Xian is an illegitimate child, it’s not like he wanted this! Why attack him?]

[Haha, if he doesn’t like it, he shouldn’t be flaunting his “young master” image and using money his mom stole.]

[The post even says that the mistress married in just one month after the legitimate wife’s death. Poor Yun Yuexian’s brother had to endure losing his mom, being disabled, and seeing the mistress and her child take over. It’s suffocating to even think about it!]

[Another point: Everyone in the elite circles knows about this stuff. It’s just that it’s so common, people don’t talk about it anymore. The rich world is messed up.]

[Seems like we’ve had a lot of juicy gossip this year, all revolving around Yun Yuexian!]

[Oh my god! There’s more! Fellow gossip-lovers, refresh the topic!]

… A new piece of gossip appeared in the thread—a video about a minute long, shot through a door crack, clearly a hidden recording.

In the video, Yun Yuexian seemed to be in a bad mood, scolding his assistant. It was hard to make out the words, but at one point, he even threw a cup at her.

The assistant was a young girl, standing there with her head down, not daring to speak. After getting hit, she stepped back, her face twisting in pain. But when Yun Yuexian yelled, “What are you dodging for?” she stepped back into place.

The video ended quickly, but the comments section was already on fire.

[Innocent?]

[Kind-hearted?]

[Polite?]

[Wow, the comments are in sync! Hahaha…]

[Turns out celebrities really do craft fake personas…]

[How could his reputation in the industry be so good if this is what he’s like?!]

[Either his family paid people off, or Yun Yuexian’s smart enough to fake it in front of colleagues. Clever guy.]

[Sometimes when you pretend for too long, you start believing your own act. But your true nature can’t change—it always gets exposed eventually.]

[This seems recent. Wasn’t Yun Yuexian’s styling in the video similar to a leaked look from his last drama?]

[You mean the one he got replaced on after just a week?]

[Hahaha, yeah, back then his fans tried to save face, claiming he left because of other commitments.]

[Combining the rumors, he probably took out his anger on the assistant after finding out he was being replaced.]

[And that’s just what got caught on camera. Who knows what else he’s done that wasn’t filmed!]

[Okay, maybe I’m hindsight-biasing, but I’ve never liked him. Always thought he was fake.]

[Right? His fans are as fake as he is, always stirring up trouble with their rude comments!]

[An illegitimate child is still an illegitimate child—never meant for the spotlight!]

[Am I the only one curious about who he pissed off? First his career got blocked, and now one scandal after another is coming out. No way he’s recovering from this.]

[Don’t know who, but it’s definitely someone powerful, beyond what the Yun family can handle.]

[That narrows it down a lot. My dad’s an executive at a big company and knows the business scene. He said the Yun family isn’t even that big in A City. Nowhere near the real elites.]

[Wow, the comment above just opened my eyes. I always thought the Yun family was rich since Yun Yuexian is always decked out in designer brands!]

[They are rich, but only compared to regular people. Like, the Qin Corporation and the Liang family are rich too, but the Yun family can’t compare. They’re on a completely different level. Most people just lump all rich families together, but there’s a huge difference.]

[True, if you’re not in the business world, you wouldn’t know!]

[Well, no matter who’s behind this, Yun Yuexian’s done for.]

[Haha, whoever has the power to blacklist him in the industry could have crushed him without these scandals. They’re just destroying his public image for good now.]

[That’s one ruthless person!]

[Last time, Yun Yuexian even dared to shade whoever was behind this. Guess he wasn’t tired of living yet!]

[Hahaha, this time they went straight for his dirty laundry. He must have really pissed someone off!]

[Big shot: I was just going to quietly force you out of the industry, but since you didn’t take the hint, let’s see how you handle being torn apart by public opinion.]

[By the way, how come Yun Yuexian’s fans have gone silent? They were so loud earlier.]

[I just peeked at his supertopic, it’s a mess in there. Some fans are quitting, some are bashing him, and others are still trying to fight the “haters.”]

[The “Zi Qian CP” supertopic is just as bad. Some shippers are still delusionally hoping that Liang Zichen will defend him, hahaha.]

[Liang Zichen is backed by the Liang family! If they were really involved, he would have helped when Yun Yuexian lost his endorsement.]

[CP fans are so blind.]

[Poor Liang Zichen, getting tied to someone like that. His fans are dumb too, always trying to ride his coattails for attention.]

[Wow, I just had a wild thought about who might be behind all this targeting Yun Yuexian…]

[Oh my god!]

[Oh my god!]

[Oh my god!]

[This is terrifying the more I think about it!]

…

Sometimes, gossip lovers stumble upon the truth without even realizing it.

Qin Mingyuan set down his tablet, smirking coldly. The release of such damaging information wouldn’t only affect Yun Yuexian, but it would also drag Yun Haowei down with him.

As the president of Yun Corporation, Yun Haowei’s reputation would surely suffer, which would likely cause the company’s stock prices to drop. Plus, with pressure from the Liang family, several recent deals would probably fall through.

But this disaster for the Yun family was only just beginning. Things were about to get messy.

Luckily, just two days ago, little Mimosa had officially moved into his own apartment after being discharged from the hospital, safe from the Yun family’s chaos.

The phone on the desk buzzed, and Qin Mingyuan glanced at it. The caller ID showed a number from another city, unfamiliar to him.

Guessing who it might be, he calmly watched the screen, tapping his fingers on the desk, not in a hurry to pick up.

The phone soon quieted, but moments later, it started buzzing again.

This time, Qin Mingyuan slowly picked it up, answering in a steady voice, “Hello?”

“President Qin?”

The middle-aged voice on the other end, already raspy, sounded even more weary through the phone, as if drained of energy.

“Wang Zhigang?” Qin Mingyuan asked, though he already knew the answer.

Upon confirmation from the other side, he got straight to the point, “Have you made up your mind?”

Wang Zhigang was silent for a long time before asking, “If I do as you say, can you guarantee my son will make a full recovery?”

“I don’t make those kinds of guarantees,” Qin Mingyuan leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs, “All surgeries carry risks. What I can promise is that I will find the best specialist to give your son the highest chance of success.”

Another long silence followed, but Qin Mingyuan wasn’t in a rush. He waited quietly.

“…Alright.”

Hanging up, Qin Mingyuan’s lips curved into a smile. The man had made the right choice, after all.

He reached for the landline and dialed his assistant’s office. As soon as he heard Zhou Yang’s voice, he instructed, “Contact a leukemia specialist for me, and also start searching for a bone marrow match. I’ll send over the patient’s details later.”
