Ke Jie was undoubtedly pleased. With Wan Zhang dead and Hua Rongxiao now carrying his child, he felt a sense of triumph. Although he was currently living under Hua Rongxiao's roof and had to bow to her authority, he was still the biological father of her child. Not only would Hua Rongxiao's wealth belong to his child, but even Wan Zhang's assets would naturally become his child's inheritance. As the father, he would effortlessly gain all of this.
Ke Jie turned to the wine cabinet to grab a bottle, but halfway there, he remembered that Hua Rongxiao was pregnant and shouldn't drink. This sparked an idea in him; he decided to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients and make nourishing soup for her.
Hua Rongxiao watched Ke Jie’s excitement with a smile, feeling even happier than he was. "You don’t need to fuss about it," she said. "Let the housekeeper handle the cooking. Now that I’m pregnant, there will be many things I can’t do in the future, so you’ll have plenty of chances to help out later."
Ke Jie returned to her side, resting her legs on his lap as he gently massaged her calves. Hua Rongxiao relaxed, knowing that everyone believed Wan Zhang had been murdered. Lan Qingqing, that foolish girl, had no way to defend herself as all evidence pointed toward her. Meanwhile, she had already spread the news of her pregnancy within Wan Jia’s circle, making everything seem reasonable and justified.
Hua Rongxiao looked at Ke Jie with a smirk. "Shouldn’t you thank me? I’m giving your child a chance to be a true heir! With this hundred billion in assets, it’s all so easily within reach."
The smile on Ke Jie’s face was impossible to hide. He truly hadn’t expected things to progress so quickly and smoothly. Curiously, he asked, "But how did you manage it? How did Lan Qingqing fall right into your trap? And the hospital—are they keeping your pregnancy a secret?"
Hua Rongxiao nodded. "Yes, the person handling this at the hospital is one of our own, so there’s no need to worry. As for that foolish Lan Qingqing, didn’t she cause a scene at my Cosmetic Surgery Institution? The staff there informed me immediately that she was causing trouble again. I purposely sent a message to the front desk asking them to tell her I was pregnant, hoping it would provoke her."
Ke Jie was excited. "And then? How did you know Lan Qingqing would go after Wan Zhang?"
Hua Rongxiao couldn’t help but laugh. "Honestly, I didn’t expect her to be so anxious that she would go straight to Wan Zhang that same day to speak ill of me. But I did predict that eventually she would confront him about our relationship. With her strong jealousy and desire for revenge, she wouldn’t let it go easily; after all, I nearly ruined her entire life."
She continued, "It’s also quite coincidental that the servants at Wan Zhang's house happened to be on leave during those days. Wan Zhang had planned to move into another villa with me tonight. So when Lan Qingqing arrived at his house, there wasn’t a single servant around."
Ke Jie asked curiously, "So how did Wan Zhang die? There was no one home; did he just suddenly die? Could it really have been Lan Qingqing who did it?"
The more Ke Jie thought about it, the more frightened he became. Could it be that Lan Qingqing actually killed Wan Zhang? Had she become so bold? Killing my mother wasn’t enough; now she had taken out that old man too?
But then Ke Jie snapped back to reality—no, she had no reason to kill Wan Zhang.
Hua Rongxiao shot him a glance. "Are you really so eager to know how Wan Zhang died? But speaking of which, I suppose this counts as revenge for you—Lan Qingqing and Mo Kai Liang conspired against your Tong Le; now I’ve helped you repay that debt with an eye for an eye by making Lan Qingqing taste this kind of bitterness."
Ke Jie asked eagerly, "So how did Wan Zhang actually die?"
Hua Rongxiao stood up and walked over to the dining table while eating fruit. "After Lan Qingqing learned about my pregnancy, she stormed out of the Cosmetic Surgery Institution in anger. I had someone follow her and discovered she was on her way to Wan Zhang's villa. I immediately set my plan in motion; I sent my informant ahead to clear out any weeds and fallen leaves at Wan Zhang's villa since the property management was already handling autumn cleanup during those days. I instructed my informant to take care of Wan Zhang before Lan Qingqing arrived."
As she delicately peeled a grape with her slender fingers, Hua Rongxiao continued, "My informant reported back that Wan Zhang died peacefully; after receiving one injection, he suffered little before passing away."
