Chapter 038: That’s Enough! All of You, Get Out!

"Oh, look who decided to grace us with her presence, the great Miss Chu!"

Fang Hongyu, having heard of her arrival, hurried out, eager to see if Chu Wanning was still as ostentatiously flamboyant as she had been before.

Chu Wanning did not disappoint. As she stood there, everything around her seemed to fade into insignificance.

When Fang Hongyu looked past the crowd and saw the multi-million dollar sports car parked outside, her eyes filled with hatred. Unable to berate her in public, she could only curse her viciously in her heart.

"Get in here right now!" Another voice, a man’s, sounded, thick with exasperation.

That would be her deadbeat father, wouldn't it?

Chu Wanning felt relieved. They were all here—perfect! They could all get out together!

Chu Wanning moved with grace, every expression and gesture elegant and poised. Clad in a qipao, her aura was impeccable. As for Fang Hongyu, she didn’t even spare her a glance, walking right past her as if she didn't exist. This only served to make the woman look even more like an outsider.

And why wouldn't she be? This villa was, after all, under Chu Wanning's name. She had discovered this in the files provided by Old A. It seemed her mother had quietly secured many things, only the original owner of this body had been too foolish to notice.

Reaching the living room, Chu Wanning immediately spotted her deadbeat father, sitting on the sofa like a lord. One look was all it took for her to decide she needed a paternity test. Her intuition told her this man was not her biological father. A man like this, no matter how beautiful her mother was, could never have sired a daughter as stunning as her. The original owner hadn't just been foolish; she had been blind. As for why her mother had married him, that was a secret only her mother likely knew.

Since she wanted a paternity test, she needed a sample of his hair.

She knew that Qiu Dian must be stunned right now. After all, the current Chu Wanning was starting to look more like Chu Xi. In her memories, the original owner had always painted herself to look like a ghost.

Walking up to Qiu Dian, she reached out and grabbed a handful of his hair, though her hand landed on his shoulder.

"Is the family so poor we can't afford decent shampoo? Why are you covered in dandruff? I couldn't stand it, so I brushed it off!" Chu Wanning frowned, looking thoroughly disgusted.

Regardless, she had the hair. She’d grabbed quite a lot of it. She didn't know if it hurt, but it certainly didn't hurt her. Seeing Qiu Dian gasp in pain, however, she figured it must have stung.

Well, that was delightful.

Just as Qiu Dian was about to explode, Chu Wanning spoke again, calm enough to drive him mad: "My hands are covered in your hair oil. I'm going to wash them." With that, she headed to the bathroom.

At this moment, Fang Hongyu, her chest heaving with rage, entered the room.

"Qiu Dian, is this your 'good' daughter? Not only does she not call me mother, but she acts as if she can't even see me! She’s certainly grown quite bold!"

"I wonder which old man she’s latched onto this time. You didn't see the car parked outside—it must be worth millions!"

"She’s just like her mother, the same kind of trash who used to openly flirt—"

*Bang!*

Qiu Dian slammed his palm onto the coffee table and roared, "Shut up!"

Fang Hongyu was startled, only then realizing what she had said. If Chu Wanning found out, their entire plan would be ruined. They had gone to great lengths to imprison her mother. Qiu Dian was not yet the majority shareholder of the Chu Corporation; that stubborn old man was far too clever and had been guarding against him for years. They had hoped that if Chu Wanning died, they could finally get what they wanted. Who would have thought she’d survive?

"My, aren't you two having a lively chat?"

"Do I need to step out for a moment, hmm?"

Chu Wanning had heard every word. As expected, there was something fishy going on.

"You've gone too far! Where have you been all this time? If you dare to do anything that disgraces this family, I won't let you off!" Qiu Dian glared at her.

Chu Wanning remained unruffled. She strolled over to the sofa, sat down, and spoke slowly.

"Disgrace the family? Is that what you call cheating on your wife with her so-called 'best friend' during your marriage and fathering a daughter who looks suspiciously like me?"

As she said this, she swept a cold, indifferent gaze over the two of them.

Qiu Dian and Fang Hongyu froze. They exchanged a glance.

*Impossible! Absolutely impossible!* She couldn't know. Even Chu Xi didn't know that Qiu Yuanyuan was Qiu Dian's biological daughter.

Fang Hongyu kept telling herself not to panic. She still had her status in the socialite circles to maintain! If the outside world found out, the reputation she had cultivated for years would be destroyed.

Qiu Dian’s expression didn't change much. "What kind of nonsense are you spouting?" But his voice lacked its earlier conviction.

Just then, a joyful female voice drifted in from outside.
