Chapter 1216: I Am Your Father-in-Law（14）

“Xu Cheng is Huang Ying’s biological child, and she should be around 32 or 33 years old, definitely not in her twenties. Besides, with your good looks, with how Xu Cheng looks, it just isn’t possible that she’s your daughter. I have no idea what Huang Ying is thinking, making Xu Cheng impersonate someone else. She’s either overconfident of herself or overconfident of Xu Cheng…” Huang Long felt his anger rising as he spoke, mainly getting upset with Huang Ying.

“Even if I speak of the truth, honestly, I won’t be too heavily affected. I’m only helping her for the money after all. I have not kept in contact with Huang Ying for a while. Not too long ago, a private investigator reached out to me and gave me a sum of money, questioning me about the matters back then. And I told him about it. Soon after, Huang Ying contacted me out of her own accord. She told me if there were any others who reached out to me, questioning about what happened back then to just say what she had taught me to: that Xu Cheng was the child we bought from the trafficker back then, and that she was brought up in my house for a while.

“Initially, I wasn’t willing to lie. But Huang Ying said that she had located the biological mother of the girl. Furthermore, she was now a powerful businesswoman in Europe with a net worth of a hundred billion dollars. If she knew of her daughter being sold off, she definitely wouldn’t let us go easily. On the other hand, if she found out that Xu Cheng was the girl back then and that we only bought her from the trafficker out of pity, she would not seek vengeance and would even thank us.

“Then Xu Cheng would be the heir to this woman with billions of dollars’ worth of assets. Naturally, as her uncle, I would benefit. Once everything was over, I’d receive a handsome sum of money and would be even taken to Europe to live a deity-like life.

Huang Long paused, turning over to look at Cheng Chen, sincerity clear in his eyes. “I was blinded by Huang Ying’s promises, blinded by my greed. That was the only reason why I helped them lie! The mastermind of this entire plan was Huang Ying, I was only cooperating!

“Back then, when we bought the child, Huang Ying took most of the money. I didn’t even receive any benefits, so I’m innocent. Truly innocent.”

Cheng Chen gazed at Huang Long coldly, clenching his fists unconsciously.

Innocent?

How dare he say that!

Anyone involved in this was no innocent man!

Even Lina and him had partially contributed to it unmistakably.

The person who was truly innocent was the one who was given away at birth. The one who was passed through the hands of traffickers—his daughter!

“That lady back then, do you really not know who she was?” Cheng Chen asked coldly.

“I really don’t know who her in-laws are. All I know is that she’s called Yu Meizi, a classmate of Huang Ying.”

“Yu Meizi…” Cheng Chen mumbled repeatedly, when it suddenly struck him.

Cheng Chen’s mind turned blank, and he sat there in shock, not knowing what kind of expression he should be making. As soon as he heard that name, his heart, his entire being felt rattled.

“Are you sure that lady’s name was Yu Meizi?” Cheng Chen asked once more, unable to believe his ears.

“Yes, she’s called Yu Meizi. Back then, I had thought that her name was weird, why was someone called Meizi, it sounded like a foreigner’s name,” Huang Long replied Cheng Chen once more with certainty.

As he heard Huang Long’s reply, Cheng Chen felt overwhelmed.

Ling Tianya’s mother was called Yu Meizi!
