In front of everyone, my five-year-old adopted daughter said, "Daddy likes the other Mommy more." Shao Yichen hurriedly covered her mouth, flustered as he tried to explain. His adopted daughter had been playing mother and daughter with her kindergarten teacher and had gotten too caught up in the role. I smiled and shook my head. "Children say the darndest things."
But through the half-open door, I heard his group of friends ask, "Is your wife pregnant again?"
He answered with immense pride, "Canxing is so capable. She's carrying a boy for her second pregnancy, so we'll have a son and a daughter. Once he's born, I'll bring him over for your sister-in-law to raise, too."
My heart jolted.
Su Canxing?
Shao Yichen's former ardent admirer?
Someone asked, "Have you put together that trust in Hong Kong yet?"
The man's tone turned serious.
"All of you keep your mouths shut! Yanxin must never find out that I'm using her money to set up a 10-billion-yuan trust for Canxing and her child!"
"Back then, that foolish girl Canxing burned Yanxin's parents and the baby in her womb because I said I couldn't bear to let Yanxin go abroad."
"She feels so guilty. She said she would have three children to make it up to Yanxin. Since I can't give her a legitimate place by my side, the least I can do is make sure she and her children are taken care of for the rest of their lives."
I lowered my eyes and sneered.
Then I turned and called my lawyer.
"Withdraw our investment in the Shao Group and liquidate it. Investigate Shao Yichen's private financial transactions and expose the trust he secretly set up."
"I want him and that woman to lose everything."
