After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage-Chapter 70 - Chengcheng’s Biological Father
Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Chengcheng’s Biological Father
Shen Jiangqing opened her eyes and saw who it was, immediately huffing, “Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you not to come?”
“Look, your precious son was getting a continuous scolding from Li Lingyang. If it weren’t for me, I doubt he’d be so lucky today.” Li Jingtian pushed Chengcheng towards her.
The little guy was unstable on his feet and nearly fell with a stagger. Shen Jiangqing reflexively sprang up from the bed and caught Chengcheng, glaring angrily at Li Jingtian, “What are you doing! You almost knocked him over!”
Tears still clung to Chengcheng’s eyelashes, and Shen Jiangqing’s heart ached uncontrollably.
Li Jingtian let out a scoff and said in a slippery tone as he rubbed his chin, “If back then you hadn’t been so set on climbing the social ladder and marrying Li Lingyang, I suppose our child would be this big by now, right?”
Shen Jiangqing’s gaze flickered with unease, waring, “We are history now. If someone finds out about our past, neither of us will have an easy time!”

...
Was that his cue to keep his mouth shut? Li Jingtian clicked his tongue and lamented, “You really are colder than any man, lady. But so many years have gone by, and I still can’t forget your taste. What are you going to do about that?”
Shen Jiangqing blushed to her ears. In truth, Li Jingtian was also a very outstanding man. Although he had a lot of negative reviews from the outside world, his methods could definitely be called fierce!
But… he was an illegitimate child, one not favored by Li Jianbin!
These years he was abroad, and unlike what the Li Family knew, he wasn’t completely banished. In fact, some of the Li Group’s more shady dealings abroad were done by him under Li Jianbin’s order.
Their beginning was a mistake.
That day she had gone to find Li Lingyang, pleading with him once more not to marry Ning Yichu, only to be rejected.
Heartbroken, she went to a bar to drown her sorrows, and by a stroke of bad luck, found out Li Jingtian had returned to the country. This illegitimate son, scorned by the entire Li Family, she didn’t know if it was revenge or a wild impulse, but she went straight up and threw herself at him.
When she sobered up, she realized the absurdity of it all and ran away in a panic. Fortunately, they weren’t entangled for long before he went abroad again, and he had not sought her out since.
But fate had the worst sense of humor. When Shen Jun stole sperm, he stole it from the wrong man—it was from him!
In other words, Chengcheng was actually his son…
Shen Jiangqing clenched her teeth, determined to keep this secret. So, pretending to be innocent, she said, “Forget about me. I’m not a good woman. I’m about to marry your elder brother, and surely you will find someone better than me in the future…”
“Heh, what a heartless creature you are,” Li Jingtian mocked.
Shen Jiangqing held back and didn’t blush, “Think what you want, but it’s impossible for us.”
“But I heard that Li Lingyang is impotent, and he has never touched you?”
“You should go now.” Her deepest and most painful secret was exposed right to her face. Did he need to rub salt in her wounds? Shen Jiangqing felt both embarrassment and anger.
Li Jingtian shrugged, “Jiangqing, you will regret this.”
After Li Jingtian left, Shen Jiangqing’s tense nerves finally relaxed a little. She wasn’t worried about Chengcheng gossiping. For years, she had groomed him to be excellent, fully aware of what was best for him.
She wiped the tears from the little guy’s face and asked with concern, “Sweetheart, tell mommy, why did daddy scold you?”
“It’s… it’s nothing.” As Shen Jiangqing expected, Chengcheng had his own little schemes and lied, “I just accidentally talked back to daddy.”
Shen Jiangqing pinched his cheek, “You know, how has mommy taught you? You need to please your father, to win over the elders of the Li Family. That way, they will make you the heir in the future.”
Chengcheng nodded as though he understood, but Shen Jiangqing had forgotten that parents are the best role models for their children.
Shen Jiangqing was full of lies, and Chengcheng was quick to emulate.
In fact, often adults think that children are the purest, but the truth is, children can lie even more easily than adults…
…
On the way home with Doudou, Little Doudou tilted her head and asked about Ning Yichu’s condition with great concern.
“Daddy, can I go see Auntie?”
As she spoke, the little girl’s eyes were filled with eager anticipation.
She wanted to properly thank Auntie for saving her!
Li Lingyang, however, exploded like an ignited fireball, his brows immediately furrowing as he said to his daughter, “I have already thanked her on your behalf, and there’s no need for you to continue being friends with Ningning anymore.”
Doudou was shocked and anxious, making gestures non-stop, asking why!
Was it just because Sister Ningning was Auntie’s daughter? Or because of the unpleasantness between the adults?
But why should the affairs of adults involve their children?
“There’s no reason, you and Ningning are not from the same world.”
“I don’t care! I want to play with Ningning!” Doudou’s annoyed little hands gestured back and forth, even stretching out in front of Li Lingyang as if she feared he wouldn’t see clearly.
Li Lingyang was almost torn between laughter and tears, but he felt more adamant about severing the “karmic entanglement” between her and Ningning swiftly and decisively.
“Protest is futile, I’ve already decided.”
For the first time, Doudou saw her daddy speak to her with such a serious tone, and she too became angrily embarrassed, gesturing more authoritatively than him, “I’m going to tell Great-Grandmother!”
Li Lingyang held his forehead, indeed forgetting that she had a powerful supporter behind her.
Doudou saw Li Lingyang’s conflicted look and actually hummed with satisfaction.
“It’s pointless no matter who you go to. Your Great-Grandmother is so old now, do you still want her to argue with me for your sake? Go ahead,” Li Lingyang said, effectively shutting the little girl down. After all, he had more experience than she had years; how could he possibly not manage her?
Thinking of Great-Grandmother’s hunched and aged body, Doudou indeed didn’t have the heart.
What if Great-Grandmother had an attack of anger that affected her health? It would be so distressing; Great-Grandmother had already been to the hospital several times this year.
But to break off relations with Ningning…
Wow!
The little girl suddenly felt so wronged that she wanted to cry…
As soon as they arrived back at Imperial Dragon Bay, Doudou trudged upstairs like an eggplant beaten by frost, looking dejected and dispirited.
“Little Miss, the kitchen has made your favorite custard buns today…” Nanny He cooed while taking the little girl’s cartoon backpack.
But Doudou, as if she hadn’t heard, trotted into the bedroom, leaving Nanny He somewhat puzzled. She turned her head to see Li Lingyang in his stiff black coat entering from outside, his face not particularly warm and carrying a cold harshness as if he were wrapped in the chill of the world.
“President Li,” Nanny He bowed respectfully, then asked with concern, “What happened to Little Miss, did you two have a quarrel?”
Li Lingyang glanced at the second-floor bedroom, “Serve the dinner in Little Miss’s room later.”
“Yes, President Li…” Sigh, even dinner wasn’t eaten together; they must have really had an argument.
But why did the father and daughter quarrel?
That evening, Li Lingyang found Liu Yi, the child psychologist recommended by Mu Bailang.
He asked bluntly, “Because of some of my decisions, my daughter is unhappy. Is there anything I can do to cheer her up?”
