[ContrastTeamInADadW/BabyShow] Chapter 34.2 — Yours Biologically and Not?

TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of sexual assault of young Lin Cheng.

=============================

“So, you want to say that I had sex with that woman in the hotel that night, and that’s why we had Lin Momo?” Lin Cheng’s face didn’t look good.

“Not necessarily,” Wang Zhou said.

Lin Cheng frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

“We found the entire surveillance video. The time when Huang Xueman entered the room to when she came out again was actually not long.”

Within this short window of time, the woman had to take those ‘intimate photos’ with Lin Cheng; if she also had to have sex with him in addition to that—then there was simply not enough time.

So what was closer to the truth could be…

“After Huang Xueman entered your room, she probably used, uh… some coercive means to get your…”

After all, they know what Huang Xueman was up to during those days. In private chat rooms, she would frantically post comments like ‘I want to give birth to Lin Cheng’s baby.’

And then, she hurriedly left the hotel, which seemed to confirm this hypothesis.

Lin Momo’s birth may not have been accidental.

However, it was definitely not an accident that Lin Cheng was blackened. It was clear that Lin Cheng was deliberately set up and framed.

Even if Huang Xueman had known Lin Cheng’s hotel and room number at that time, given the management of the reputable hotel and the importance the entertainment company attached to Lin Cheng at that time, it was absolutely impossible for her to sneak into the hotel and get close to Lin Cheng so easily. It was even more impossible for her to ‘accidentally’ pick up Lin Cheng’s room card.

Obviously, someone had known about the existence of crazy, stalker fans like Huang Xueman and deliberately gave these wretches the opportunity to enter Lin Cheng’s room.

As it turned out, Huang Xueman successfully approached Lin Cheng.

The people behind the scheme took advantage of all this to erase the real evidence during the period when Lin Cheng was unconscious, and then forged evidence that he ‘duped fans into doing lewd things.’

From beginning to end, this was a conspiracy that had been carefully crafted and laid out for a good length of time, and the purpose of the person who did all this was nothing more than to destroy Lin Cheng.

“Who could it be…” Wang Zhou murmured.

Who on earth had the ability to plan all of this without Lin Cheng being aware of it? Not only could this person manipulate the alcohol that Lin Cheng drank, but they could also successfully obtain the spare access card for Lin Cheng’s room…

The most important point was: who hated Lin Cheng so much that he wanted to use such means to ruin Lin Cheng’s reputation.

“Eldest Young Master, do you have any impression about whether you had bad relations with anyone in the entertainment industry back then or maybe someone against whom you had a strong competitive relationship?” Wang Zhou asked.

Lin Cheng said nothing and tapped the armrest of the car seat with his fingertips, seeming to be thinking about this issue as well.

“It’s possible it may not be related to the entertainment industry at all,” Lin Cheng finally replied in a deep voice.

Wang Zhou was surprised with this conjecture and asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”

Lin Cheng did not answer Wang Zhou’s question but simply said, “Continue to investigate.”

The car had reached a fork in the road and Lin Cheng gave instructions to the driver in front, “Go directly to Grand Riverside.”

“Eldest Young Master, aren’t you waiting for the Old Master to arrive?” Wang Zhou asked.

“No need.”

“But the Old Master…”

“Since his heart is not good, just let him rest at home,” Lin Cheng said in tones that brooked no argument.

After a pause, Lin Cheng added, “I will handle the other matters.”

Wang Zhou did not dare to refute Lin Cheng’s orders, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

… …

The car quickly drove to the building of Lin Cheng’s apartment.

Watching Lin Cheng get out of the car, Wang Zhou opened his mouth hesitantly. He wanted to say something, but in the end he endured it.

Originally, Wang Zhou had been worried that after Lin Cheng found out the reason for Lin Momo’s birth, he would mind it very much and end up disliking the child.

But just now, when Lin Cheng got out of the car with Lin Momo in his arms, Wang Zhou noticed that the sleeping Lin Momo seemed to grunt uncomfortably due to the sudden jittery movements. Hearing Lin Momo’s soft grumbling, Lin Cheng’s arms that were holding her still-sleeping form visibly stiffened for a moment, and then Lin Cheng could be seen adjusting his position very carefully so as to make Lin Momo continue to sleep more comfortably.

Such small details—whether it was out of love for the child or a father’s instinct to take care of the child—could at least prove that Lin Cheng, at least, did not mind the child’s existence.

Wang Zhou felt relieved and couldn’t help but glance at Lin Cheng’s back, carrying Lin Momo.

Lin Cheng seemed to be inexplicably afraid to look at the child in his arms, so his movements were a little stiff. Seen from behind, it looked a bit funny.

… …

Lin Cheng carried Lin Momo all the way back home and put Lin Momo in her room.

This room was the ‘bedroom’ that Chen Yu and the others arranged for Lin Momo when they were recording the program’s pilot. After that, Lin Cheng left this room alone, and so the layout of the place remained the same as before.

With no one else present, Lin Cheng looked at the sleeping child on the bed. He seemed to have finally recovered from his previous dazed state and was slowly beginning to realize that this child was really his.

Looking at this face that looked too much like his own, Lin Cheng’s expression was a little complicated.

Although he had always known that this child looked similar to him, before and after knowing that Lin Momo was actually his biological daughter, there were two completely different emotions.

Looking at Lin Momo at this time, Lin Cheng felt an indescribable feeling surging in his heart.

All in all, it was truly amazing.

After covering Lin Momo with a quilt, Lin Cheng did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat next to her and stared at Lin Momo for a long time.

… …

After a while, Lin Momo still slept on, but Lin Cheng took out his mobile phone to ask a question on the Internet that he himself thought was very stupid.

[What’s the difference between a child that is yours biologically and not?]

As soon as this anonymous question came out, it quickly attracted attention from netizens.

[You don’t know whether the child is your own?]

[Is there anyone who doesn’t know if their child is theirs? What a weird question this is.]

[I see, brother, do you suspect that you have been cheated on?]

[Love is a light~]

[Old Wang next door¹ sends a congratulatory message.]

……

After Lin Cheng asked this stupid question, he wanted to leave the forum directly, but seeing the netizen’s comments getting more and more crooked and off-topic, Lin Cheng couldn’t help but reply: [It has nothing to do with that matter.]

[What do you mean then?] A netizen soon asked.

[Yes, what does the questioner mean by asking this? ]

[Actually, there is no need to ask whether the child is yours. Just look at the child and see if they look like you.]

[I agree with the person above, don’t even say anything about when they grow up, but you and your biological children are the same from the time they are born. They look very similar to you, and they feel and act similar to you.]

Looking at the netizen’s words, Lin Cheng nodded subconsciously.

They were indeed very similar.

[There is another difference. If other children are naughty and troublesome, you will feel annoyed. If it is your own child, no matter how naughty they are, you will still find them cute and lovable. Even if you do get angry and itch to snap at them at the time, you will still find your biological child cute and lovable after a while. ]

[Also, no matter how ugly your child is, they are still the most beautiful in your eyes. Even if they are not beautiful, they are still the cutest. Don’t ask why, the power of blood is so magical. ]

Lin Cheng replied to the last netizen’s words: [My child is very sensible.]

Glancing at Lin Momo out of the corner of his eye, Lin Cheng further commented: [My child is truly beautiful.]

[Look, ah, this is definitely a biological child!]

[Ooh! A real parent! The real deal!]
