Chapter 565: Compromising Materials
As for the adoption? Since the certificate was burnt and the orphanage had shut down, there was no way for Su Bei to investigate.
Anyway, Xu Zhiqin had checked everything herself and found nothing.
When Xu Zhiqin saw that one of the waiters whom she arranged to go over had returned, she quickly asked, “How is it? Is everything okay? What happened to Su Bei?”
“Su Bei is crying really hard. Everyone is scolding her. She’s kneeling on the ground and crying. If it weren’t for her agent protecting her, the video would have been published and gone viral,” the waiter said.
When he went over to look, there were too many people and he could not squeeze to the front. He had no idea what was actually happening over there.
When he was about to squeeze through the crowd, Lu Heting’s men stopped him and fed him lies that were the complete opposite of the truth.
The waiter had his own job to do, and there were too many people there, so he gave up on squeezing into the crowd. Hence, he just told Xu Zhiqin the news he heard.
Lu Heting had everything under control. He would let Xu Zhiqin be smug for a while longer. All the blame would fall on her later.
Xu Zhiqin clapped her hands. “That’s great! Su Bei finally…”
She saw the strange look in the waiter’s eyes and quickly stopped talking. “When are Su Xingfu and Huixian coming back?”
“Perhaps they want to stick around to watch the good show. They should be back soon.”
“Got it. You can go now.” Xu Zhiqin’s face was flushed. She felt that she had become younger by a few years, and her footsteps had become lighter.
Du Luo also came to attend the ceremony.
He was thin and handsome, attracting a lot of attention the moment he walked in. Xu Zhiqin quickly welcomed him. “Du Luo, you’re finally here. Hey, why aren’t your parents here?”
Seeing that Du Changwei and Sun Jingping did not come, Xu Zhiqin was a little unhappy. In fact, although this big show was to clear her and Su Huixian’s name, the main purpose was to do it in front of Du Changwei and Sun Jingping.
The Du family was richer and more powerful than the Su family. Xu Zhiqin wanted to gain the Du family’s approval so that Su Huixian’s marriage could be held as soon as possible.
Du Luo smiled and said, “They’re busy today, so they specially asked me to pass this gift to you, Auntie. I hope you won’t take their absence to heart.”
Du Changwei and Sun Jingping had indeed always looked down on Xu Zhiqin’s status as a mistress. They had always been rather cold toward Du Luo’s marriage to Su Huixian.
However, they did not know about Su Huixian changing her age, nor did they know about the farce that happened tonight. They only wanted to get everything over with.
Xu Zhiqin took the gift. “You’re too kind. Your parents are so busy and hardworking. They’re really worthy of being role models for the younger generation. No wonder the Du family has been developing so steadily.”
“Auntie, where’s Huixian?” Du Luo asked.
Xu Zhiqin smiled and said, “Su Bei seems to be an event next door. Huixian and her father are there to support her. No matter how willful Su Bei is or how bad she is, she’s still a member of our Su family. We can’t just ignore her completely.”
Upon hearing that Su Bei was here, Du Luo immediately recalled that during this period of time, Su Bei has gotten involved in plenty of scandals. The scandals involved Jiang Hong and Director Gibson. There was also a woman who stepped forward to criticize Su Bei’s mother.
He immediately became worried. He didn’t know how Su Bei was handling the matter. If they were not handled properly, she would be dragged through the mud and it would be hard to turn the situation around.
