Adopting/Raising The Male Lead and The Villain

They had never suspected Xu Yunhui in the past. Now that the seed had been sowed, it was plenty easy to start looking into her.

After all, the few years that Xu Yunhui had spent at the Zhong's really hadn't allowed her to become very powerful.

When the investigation report reached Zhong Chi, he was so angry that he yanked the IV right out of his arm and shouted angrily, "So that's it! I finally saw through her darker than viper heart! Lucky I never recognized Xu Xing! Had I done that, I would have been dead even sooner! She wished for her son to take over my spot immediately..."

Now that was Zhong Chi's misjudging Xu Yunhui.

With Xu Yunhui's personality, if he had recognized Xu Xing sooner, she wouldn't have done anything to him.

But Zhong Chi was gauging her by his own standard, so naturally he'd feel that her plan was to murder him!

Zhong Chi snickered and said, "She forgot that even though she is the official Mrs. Zhong right now, I could still squash her with one finger."

Assistant Zhao kept his head lowered and dared not say a thing.

That was not something that he wanted to offer his opinion on; he was better off just keeping his mouth shut.

"Go and give Zhong Yuhuan a call."

"Yes, sir."

Zhong Chi said coldly, "This illness at least let me see clearly the true nature of those around me."

When Xu Yunhui went to the hospital the next day, she found another person in the room.

She was the actress whose resources had been taken away from her, and she was currently crying in front of Zhong Chi. This particular actress has the reputation of being pure and tender. All Xu Yunhui wanted to do was to call her bullsh*t. If she was so pure, why did she keep thrusting herself in front of Zhong Chi? Was there really anyone who was pure in their circle?

At this very moment, Xu Yunhui almost couldn't maintain the look on her face. She really wanted to leap onto the actress and rip her face off!

"Why is Miss Lin here?" Xu Yunhui turned and asked the bodyguard.

The bodyguard, who was in charge of guarding the patient room looked a little uneasy, said, "Miss Lin is here to visit Boss"

"Haven't I said it already? To not let anyone find out about his illness?"

"Miss Lin called a few times and Boss said she could come visit."

Xu Yunhui heard a buzzing noise in her head.

Zhong Chi had been very nice to her the last few days, almost like they were back to the days when they were in love before. Even when Zhong Chi was feeling so fragile, he asked a few times about how Xu Xing was doing at school and seemed to be genuinely concerned about it. Xu Yunhui almost thought that perhaps once this was over, Zhong Chi would be touched by how well she had been taking care of him and quickly recognize Xu Xing. That way she wouldn't need to take any more risk.... And no need to try and harm him again...

But now Xu Yunhui understood.

Once the gears started to turn, there was no turning back.

Just like once she had become Zhong Chi's girlfriend, she had already passed the point of no return by the time he married Madam. She had to follow through with it, unless Ding Ruxue was completely dead.

And now, once she walked down the path of setting up Zhong Chi, she couldn't stop anymore. If she stopped now, she didn't stand to gain anything from this, and neither would her son. Let alone that as long as Zhong Chi was alive, she ran the risks of being exposed.

She needed to follow through with her plans...

Xu Yunhui forced herself to calm down. Smiling tenderly, she said, "Oh, okay. Well, if that's the case, then I won't say anything else. I'll be back a little later."

Naturally, Zhong Chi caught the entire exchange.

Before he found out the truth, Zhong Chi had always been pleased with Xu Yunhui's humbleness and knowing her own place. But now that he was aware of the truth, her humbleness, tenderness, and poise all turned into a bone-chilling honey-coated dagger!
