The Tycoon's Mysterious Darling Wife-Chapter 495 - 498. Father Unknown (10 more Chapters)
"This can’t be possible, you’re lying to me?" Tong Yushi screamed.
Li Bomming replied indifferently, "The paternity test report is right here. Whether it’s true or false, see for yourself."
Tong Yushi grabbed the paternity test report and flipped directly to the last page, staring at the results above. "No, this can’t be true. This report is fake, yes, it’s fake, you’re lying to me." She couldn’t accept such a result.
"The day the test was done, you watched the sample being collected with your own eyes. Now that the results are out, you deny them again. Tong Yushi, you’re taking this too far," Li Bomming said coldly, his expression already showing impatience.
"It’s impossible. The child in my belly is yours. Why aren’t the paternity test results showing that? It must be you, you must have bribed the doctor, right? You guys want to fool me with a fake report," Tong Yushi muttered to herself.
Li Bomming knew it would turn out this way and scoffed, "Weren’t you the one who found another agency to do the paternity test initially? You should trust that agency, shouldn’t you? You can call them now and ask if the results are out and what they are."
He was now thankful that Tong Yushi had found another testing agency on her own; otherwise, this matter would indeed be tangled.
Reminded by him, Tong Yushi finally remembered. She indeed had found another agency to conduct the paternity test, and besides herself, she hadn’t told anyone. Her eyes suddenly brightened, "Right, I have another paternity test report, and that one is definitely real."
Having made things clear, Li Bomming did not want to stay there any longer. He got up to leave, but Tong Yushi grabbed his arm. "Boming, you can’t leave. You are the father of my child; you can’t leave me alone." While saying this, tears started falling.
Li Bomming shook off her hand, "I am not the father of your child."
"Boming, I know it must be because of what I said outside the hospital that day; you were angry, weren’t you? That’s why you colluded with the doctor to stage this, weren’t you? Bomming, I was wrong. I will never speak like that in front of Fang Tong again. Please don’t ignore me, don’t deny our child, okay? Both the child and I need you."
Li Bomming looked at Tong Yushi’s helpless demeanor coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes, "You don’t trust what I say, nor do you trust the paternity test report, Tong Yushi, what exactly do you want to do? Or do you think I’ll acknowledge this child of uncertain paternity in your belly by your pestering?"
The words "father of uncertain paternity" severely struck Tong Yushi’s heart. She stumbled backward, her face pale, as she looked at Li Bomming and shook her head frantically. "No, my child isn’t of uncertain paternity; he is your child, your own flesh and blood."
Li Bomming shook his head, "Tong Yushi, you are deluded. Wake up; your child does indeed need a father. If you truly love him, you should face reality sooner and find his biological father instead of clinging to me."
After speaking, Li Bomming left without any reluctance. Tong Yushi stood there, holding the report and suddenly burst into loud cries. After crying for a while, she suddenly remembered the other report and shakily picked up her phone to make a call.
Two minutes later, the phone fell to the ground, and Tong Yushi looked dazed. After a long time, she slowly lowered her head, looking at her large belly, and finally broke down completely.
Fang Tong had been pregnant for eight months now, and today was her last day at work before maternity leave. From tomorrow, she would be on maternity leave. She organized her work and handed it over to her secretary, who would pass it on to the person temporarily taking over tomorrow.
Fang Tong checked the time; it was already 4:30 PM. As she prepared to leave work, she stepped out of the office only to see Tong Yushi.
Tong Yushi, wearing sunglasses, blocked her way as Fang Tong emerged. Fang Tong took a step back, instinctively placing her hand on her belly.
"It was you, wasn’t it?" Tong Yushi said coldly.
Fang Tong was taken aback, not understanding what she meant.
Tong Yushi spoke coldly, "The paternity report is fake. You had it tampered with, didn’t you? You wanted Li Bomming to think that the child in my belly isn’t his, right?"
Since the day before yesterday, when Li Bomming had given her the paternity test report, Tong Yushi couldn’t understand why the report stated that the child wasn’t Bomming’s. At first, she thought Bomming might have interfered, but then she realized no man would deny his own child. She then suspected the only other person who might do this would be Fang Tong.
Fang Tong raised an eyebrow in surprise, thinking, isn’t this a disaster falling from the sky while sitting at home?
"You think too highly of me. I don’t have such capabilities. The paternity report is real. No one tampered with it. Your child was never related to my husband in the first place. It was only because you didn’t trust us that Bomming reluctantly suggested doing the paternity test."
"You might not have the capability, but your friend does, right? Shen Qinglan is your best friend, isn’t she? She’s the young lady of the Shen family and the daughter-in-law of the Fu family, so it would be too easy for her to tamper with a report."
Fang Tong heard this and laughed, though her smile was cold, "Tong Yushi, you must have a persecution complex, right? The man you were with that night wasn’t my husband. How could your child be his then?"
"You’re lying. How could I not know who I slept with? I’m sure the man I was with that night was Li Bomming. I even remember the mole on his chest."
Fang Tong looked at her in surprise, "You remember wrong, Li Bo Ming does not have a mole on his chest." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"It can’t be, you’re still lying to me. There’s a mole on his chest, right here; I remember it clearly." She gestured to a spot on her own body.
Fang Tong stared blankly at Tong Yushi.
Tong Yushi thought she had spoken correctly, assuming Fang Tong was displeased, a smile immediately lifted the corners of her mouth, "I knew it, Fang Tong, you can’t fool me." That night they had been deeply passionate; she couldn’t possibly have remembered wrong, she had even touched the mole with her hands.
A mole on the chest? A flash of insight struck Fang Tong’s mind as she suddenly thought of something, her eyes filled with disbelief as she looked at Tong Yushi, "You..." She thought of someone who had a mole on their chest, but could there be such a coincidence? Fang Tong was somewhat uncertain.
"Fang Tong, you think by making Bo Ming believe this child isn’t his, I’ll be out of options? I’m telling you, I will give birth to this child, and once the baby is born, we’ll do a paternity test again. Then we’ll see how you can deny it."
Fang Tong looked at Tong Yushi with an exasperated expression; does this person have a communication disorder? She never understands what others say, "If you want to give birth, then give birth," she said coldly.
Angered by Fang Tong’s attitude, a dangerous look appeared in Tong Yushi’s eyes. Fang Tong immediately stepped back, warily watching Tong Yushi; she couldn’t withstand any sudden movements, "Tong Yushi, what are you trying to do? I’m telling you, this is a busy area with people coming and going, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere. If you dare to make a move, you won’t be able to escape."
Tong Yushi slowly approached Fang Tong, her gaze growing more sinister. However, upon hearing Fang Tong’s words, she hesitated momentarily. Her previously agitated eyes regained composure when she saw people glancing their way. A slow smile curved her lips upwards, "Fang Tong, I will not give up on Li Bo Ming, and I will make him see your true nature." With that said, she left.
Watching her walk away, Fang Tong finally exhaled in relief; she had truly been frightened that Tong Yushi might suddenly charge at her, even a slight push could lead to unimaginable consequences.
Li Bo Ming had just parked his car when he saw Fang Tong standing alone at the company entrance, deep in thought. He immediately opened the car door and hurried over, "Tongtong, didn’t I ask you to wait for me in the office, so I could come up and get you? Why did you come down by yourself?" Fang Tong’s belly had grown big, making her body cumbersome, and Li Bo Ming always worried about her bumping into things.
Fang Tong stared blankly at Li Bo Ming, then suddenly hugged him. Li Bo Ming was startled, "What’s wrong, Tongtong?"
She hugged him briefly then let go, shaking her head, "Let’s go home first."
On the way home, Li Bo Ming tried talking to Fang Tong but received no response for a long time. Turning his head, he saw Fang Tong staring out the window, seemingly lost in thought. Taking advantage of the stoplight, Li Bo Ming stopped the car, "Tongtong, what’s wrong with you today? You seem distracted."
After thinking for a while, Fang Tong decided to tell Li Bo Ming about Tong Yushi’s encounter with her. Li Bo Ming was initially stunned and immediately became angry, "That Tong Yushi is really seeking her own death."
Fang Tong comforted him, "She didn’t do anything to me, just said a few words. I was actually thinking about something else."
"What is it?" Li Bo Ming asked instinctively.
Fang Tong hesitated, not sure if she should bring it up? After all, there are many men with a mole on their chest; the one mentioned by Tong Yushi might not be the one she knew.
Considering this, Fang Tong shook her head, "It’s nothing, just a small matter. I was overthinking it. Today your dad and Aunt Ji are coming over. I asked my mom to buy some groceries; we’ll eat at home tonight." She deliberately changed the subject.
Shen Qinglan and Yu Xiaoxuan knew Fang Tong was about to give birth and had agreed to visit her.
Fang Tong, feeling bored at home, was naturally happy when they came. Fu Fanghua knew the three sisters had things to discuss, so after preparing some food and drink for them, she left them alone.
"Fang Tong, your belly looks much bigger than mine did; could it be twins?" Yu Xiaoxuan looked at Fang Tong’s large belly, somewhat fearful; even when she was hefty, her belly wasn’t that big.
"It’s not twins, I went to the hospital for a checkup, and there’s only one," Fang Tong said softly. Her family had also suspected twins and had gone for a special examination, but it turned out it was just because the baby was well-nourished and growing fast.
"Then this pregnancy will be tough on you." Yu Xiaoxuan thought of her daughter at home; giving birth to Guoguo had been quite a struggle.
Fang Tong nodded, "Yes, the doctor said the same, suggesting a cesarean delivery."
"Cesarean might be better. Giving birth naturally is really too painful." Remembering the pain, Yu Xiaoxuan still shuddered, "Nowadays, many people are having a second child, but just the thought of it scares me. Han Yi and I have decided, just Guoguo, no more."
Topics among women other than clothes and jewelry are children and childbirth.
"Qinglan, I have something I’ve been holding back for several days, not sure if I should say it?" Fang Tong looked hesitant.
Shen Qinglan was peeling an orange, glanced at her and asked, "What happened?"
"Yes, Fang Tong, there’s nothing we can’t say among the three of us. Go ahead," Yu Xiaoxuan chimed in.
"It’s about Tong Yunshi..." Fang Tong recounted the events that had transpired in recent times.
"What? That woman is still pestering Li Bo Ming? When will she stop?" Yu Xiaoxuan was instantly furious, rolling up her sleeves as if ready to confront someone.
"Let Fang Tong finish speaking first," Shen Qinglan interjected calmly.
Yu Xiaoxuan looked at Fang Tong, "If Tong Yunshi bothers you again, just call me. I’ll teach her a lesson." She hated shameless women the most.
Fang Tong laughed, "Don’t get worked up yet, that’s not what I wanted to discuss." Then she shared her suspicions with Yu Xiaoxuan and Shen Qinglan.
Shen Qinglan slightly raised her eyebrows, and Yu Xiaoxuan’s eyes widened, "No way? How did those two get together?"
"I’m not sure either. She mentioned that the man with her had a mole on his chest, which made me think of this person. But I’m not clear whether it’s really him; the clue is too vague," Fang Tong explained.
"We can find an opportunity to verify it," Shen Qinglan suggested.
"But we’ve already checked the hotel’s surveillance. We couldn’t see clearly who the person was that night."
Shen Qinglan smiled lightly, "I have my ways."
Yu Xiaoxuan, gloating over the potential scandal, said, "If that man really is Ding Minghui, then we’re in for a show. A perfect match of scumbag and shameless woman." Just thinking about that scene made Yu Xiaoxuan uncontrollably joyful.
Shen Qinglan and Fang Tong looked at Yu Xiaoxuan as she shook with laughter, then exchanged a helpless glance and shook their heads.
After leaving Fang Tong’s home, Shen Qinglan called Shen Junyu, asking him to help investigate Ding Minghui’s whereabouts on April 15th.
April 15th was the night Li Bo Ming hadn’t come home, which was also the starting point of the whole affair.
Shen Junyu frowned, "Lanlan, April 15th was nearly five months ago. It’s been a long time; it might be difficult to dig up details."
"I don’t need it to be detailed, just need to confirm if Ding Minghui was in the Bolan Hotel overnight." It would have been fastest to ask Jin Enxi, but Jin Enxi had gone to country Y with Daniel to formally meet the parents and wasn’t currently in Beijing. Shen Qinglan knew that Shen Junyu had connections in this area.
"If that’s the case, it should be easier. Alright, give me some time. I’ll have someone look into it and call you with the results," Shen Junyu didn’t ask Shen Qinglan why she was investigating this.
"Thanks, bro."
"Thanking your own brother? You’re asking for a beating," Shen Junyu joked with a laugh.
The corners of Shen Qinglan’s mouth curled up slightly, and she hung up the phone, her eyes brimming with intrigue. If the person who was with Tong Yunshi that night really was Ding Minghui, this matter would indeed become interesting.
************
At the Ning Family’s,
When Ding Minghui returned, he found Ning Ke sitting on the sofa as if waiting for him.
Ding Minghui smiled, "Yo, you’re home today." Normally, Ning Ke would have already been at work at this time. Ding Minghui was reeking of a strong alcohol smell, clearly having just come from a night of heavy drinking.
Ning Ke frowned, "Look at you now. Do you even resemble a vice president of Shuangcheng International?"
At this, Ding Minghui scoffed, "Vice president of Shuangcheng International? I’ve just realized I’m still titled as such. But I’m just a vice president in name without any real power. It’s rare that President Ning has time to care about me."
"Ding Minghui, watch your tone. Don’t forget what you promised me. If it impacts the reputation of Shuangcheng International..."
Ding Minghui waved his hand dismissively, "I haven’t forgotten, relax. No one saw me getting drunk like this."
"You should take a shower first to sober up," Ning Ke said coldly. "I’ll wait here for you; I have something to tell you."
Ding Minghui slumped onto the sofa, "Just say what you need to say, why bother with a shower? I’ll go to sleep after you’re done."
The heavy smell of alcohol lingered around him, and the coldness in Ning Ke’s eyes deepened as she threw a document at him, "You better explain this to me clearly."
"What is this? What do you want me to explain?" Ding Minghui picked up the document, straining his eyes to read it. Once he understood the content, his expression changed, and he sat up. "Listen to my explanation, it was my first time playing..."
"5 million yuan, and the creditors have already come to our door. Ding Minghui, you’re really something."
Ding Minghui, embarrassed, replied, "Well, it wasn’t intentional. I was drunk that day and just gambled a little with friends, unfortunately, my luck was bad..." It truly was his first time gambling; he wasn’t familiar with the tricks.
Ning Ke interrupted him, "Ding Minghui, do I need to remind you that you’re just a son-in-law here? We are a married couple in name only. We set clear rules when we began this arrangement; you haven’t forgotten, have you?"
A look of awkwardness appeared on Ding Minghui’s face, "I remember, and you don’t need to remind me time and again. I’ll be more careful in the future. About this 5 million..."
"I’ve already paid the 5 million for you. Ding Minghui, this is the only time. If I find out again that you have done something behind my back, then please leave this house. The house I bought for your parents and your sister? I will take it all back. You’ll leave the way you came. Do you understand?"
"I remember," Ding Minghui said in a low voice.
Ning Ke looked at him silently for a few seconds, "You better have."
She got up and went upstairs.
Watching Ning Ke’s retreating figure, a flash of resentment flickered in Ding Minghui’s eyes. It had been three years since he married this woman. On the surface, he was the enviable son-in-law of the prestigious Ning Family from Beijing, even sitting as the vice president of Shuangcheng International. But in reality, he was just a puppet, or not even that—a mere decoration, a vase.
When he first entered the company, he had some power, albeit minimal. But it was better than none. However, over two years ago, after he had tried to trip up Fang Tong using his office privileges, Ning Ke found out and had marginalized him completely.
Ning Ke never cared about what he did outside—be it womanizing or engaging in multiple affairs—as long as it did not harm the interests of Shuangcheng International. She didn’t care whether he even showed up for work or what he did daily.
Even the house staff knew the Ning Family’s son-in-law had no real power; they ignored his commands indifferently.
The most hateful thing was the child Ning Ke had borne, who never called him ’Daddy.’
Although he did not covet that particular term, in the eyes of others, the child was his, yet he was treated this way by his own wife and child. What dignity was left for him as a man?
In these years, he had lived stifled within the Ning Family. He had thought of divorcing Ning Ke, and she had even said he could bring it up at any time, offering him a compensation of ten million yuan.
Ten million might seem a lot to ordinary people, but after living a luxurious life for years, this amount seemed insignificant to him. Though he was a decoration, Ning Ke had never deprived him in lifestyle. To outsiders, he was still the prestigious son-in-law of Shuangcheng International.
Divorcing would mean he would have to leave Shuangcheng International and find a new job. A meager salary would never suffice for his expenses, so despite his suffocating life, Ding Minghui had never truly considered leaving.
Ding Minghui stood up leisurely. Having drunk all night, he had a splitting headache and needed to head to his room for a shower and some sleep. Other matters could wait until he woke up. But just as he reached the staircase, a ball suddenly fell from above and hit him on the head.
"Ouch!" Ding Minghui, stars bursting before his eyes, became furious. "Who threw that, courting death?"
He looked up and saw the little brat standing on the staircase. It was Ning Xiuji, Ning Ke’s son, only two and a half years old.
"Hey, pick up the ball and bring it here," Ning Xiuji said to Ding Minghui.
Ding Minghui glowered, "I’m your daddy, can’t you even call me ’Daddy’?"
Ning Xiuji furrowed his little brows, staring at Ding Minghui without a word. His mother had told him that if he didn’t like someone, he didn’t have to call that person ’Daddy.’
A flash of rage crossed Ding Minghui’s heart, having just been scolded by Ning Ke, and now even a child not yet three dared to order him around.
Fueled by alcohol, Ding Minghui dashed up the stairs in two strides, grabbed Ning Xiuji’s small arm, and menacingly said, "Call me Daddy."
