Chapter 291: Chapter 291 - 287: Shi Su Was Pregnant!

"When you went to that hospital for a prenatal checkup, it showed you were in the early stages of pregnancy. Shi Su, were you pregnant? Judging by the timeline, five years ago you got pregnant in Jiang City and then fled to the United States?"

The voice on the phone was low, indicating that Shi Yunyin only had a little bit of information and no concrete evidence, just speculation.

But it was precisely this speculation that made Shi Su feel as if a venomous snake was slowly crawling up her back to the nape of her neck, icy cold to the bone.

"Shi Su, a few months ago my people discovered you frequently visited a location near a kindergarten. Did you have a child?" Shi Yunyin speculated with a sneer: "When you were examined at the American Andes Maternity Hospital, it just happened to be the third month of your ’death’ in Jiang City. The prenatal checkup record you left at that hospital was conveniently around the third month of pregnancy, how coincidental is that? Whose child is it? Is it the man from that night? Even if Chu Shangdong didn’t succeed, you still slept with another man, didn’t you? I still remember the tragic state you were in, directly sent to the hospital by Dad. Are you sure the child isn’t his?"

Shi Su stood beside the sofa, her expression gradually turning cold. She didn’t hurry to respond, only listening as Shi Yunyin revealed everything she knew bit by bit. Once Shi Su confirmed that Shi Yunyin was indeed just making baseless speculations, she replied indifferently, "Your imagination is quite creative. If you can’t make it in the entertainment industry, I suggest you write novels."

Shi Su’s tone was too calm for Shi Yunyin to detect any emotion, yet she wouldn’t give up easily: "Even if you aborted the child, you can’t hide the fact that you were pregnant! Shi Su, you’re a prominent actress now, how could you be so careless? How could you let the fact that you were pregnant be discovered?"

Shi Yunyin continued with laughter, "Do you know what the consequences would be if this got out? Even if I can’t survive in the industry and my career is ruined, I won’t let you have it easy either..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shi Su had already hung up the phone.

Shi Yunyin couldn’t return to the Shi Family at the moment and had no one by her side. She sat alone in the hotel room, staring at the disconnected phone. Even though Shi Su didn’t reveal any emotions, Shi Yunyin vaguely felt that Shi Su must be hiding a secret.

This secret must be related to the matter at hand.

This coincidence of her frequently appearing near the kindergarten—how could such a big coincidence be possible?

...

Four Seas Entertainment CEO’s Office.

The secretary had just brought in a cup of coffee and, noticing Mr. Yi’s expression was still so cold and solitary, didn’t dare to say much and quietly retreated.

The phone suddenly rang on the desk. Mr. Yi paused the signature he was putting on a document, pinched the bridge of his nose, and glanced at the caller ID. Upon recognizing the number, his expression turned displeased, somewhat irritable.

After letting the phone ring for a while, he finally picked it up without speaking.

"Yi City." Shi Yunyin’s voice came over the phone, filled with endless grievance, "Are you really going to ignore me? The Shi Family is in so much trouble now, and despite our years of relationship, you’re willing to watch me fall into despair on the streets without offering me a place to stay?"

Yi City closed his eyes, his tone cold and detached, "Where are you now?"

"At a hotel," Shi Yunyin replied with some sobs, "Ever since that live broadcast on the reality show, my studio and agent dumped a termination agreement on me and never cared anymore. I can’t go back to the Shi Family now, so I’m staying at a hotel. It’s quite close to Yisu Villa."

She wanted to stay at Yisu Villa; it was Mr. Yi’s place. She had tried to occupy it before, but he never let her actually live there. The villa had always been empty; Mr. Yi rarely went back, but Shi Yunyin knew he never got rid of it and always had someone to clean it.

Chu Yi seemed not to hear her last words and only said, "Mr. Shi is being investigated by the Shi Family elders in the imperial capital, and Mrs. Shi is being investigated by the police for a commercial case. These are not matters I can interfere with. I can do nothing for you. If the hotel is uncomfortable, haven’t you always had my card? You can furnish an apartment for yourself; it’s not a difficult thing."

"I never wanted your money, don’t you understand?" Shi Yunyin’s sobbing intensified, "Yi City, no matter what I’ve done, or how things are with Shi Su, I’ve always been sincere towards you. That has never changed..."

Yi City impatiently furrowed his brows, "Yunyin, I know everything you arranged for Chu Shangdong to do to Shi Su back then. Not blacklisting your number is already a concession. Speak your piece now, or I’ll hang up."

Shi Yunyin was silent for a few seconds, realizing that Yi City’s patience was at its limit and he was truly about to hang up. She suddenly raised her voice, "Shi Su was pregnant in the United States! Did you know she had a child?!"

Yi City paused, asking coldly, "What do you mean?"

"I know she had prenatal checkup records at the American Andes Hospital, and at that time, she was three months pregnant! Yi City, you think you never saw the real me—did you ever see the real Shi Su? Do you really know what she’s become over the years? She’s no longer the Shi Su you knew! She’s even had a child!"

"Enough!" Yi City reprimanded coldly, "Aside from making baseless assumptions, what can you do? Yunyin, I once thought you were just misled by your mother. Only now do I understand why Shi Su has been so cautious over the years. She never intended to return to the Shi Family because everyone in that family is utterly rotten, down to the very core."

Shi Yunyin seemed numbed by the blow over the past few days, persisted despite his reprimand: "But she was really pregnant..."

"Clack—"

The phone was abruptly hung up, followed by a chilling busy tone.

Yi City tossed his phone back onto the desk, then picked it up again to open a password-protected secret email.

The email contained two photos.

In the first photo, Shi Su stood in front of a kindergarten near her former residence, smiling radiantly while holding a little girl’s hand.

The second photo showed Shi Su walking out of a supermarket with the little girl in her arms.

These photos had been with him for a long time.

When Shi Yunyin sent people to investigate Shi Su a few months ago, all the important photos were intercepted by him. Shi Yunyin never got hold of these, yet they all ended up with him.
