Chapter 255 - 255 254 It goes without saying
?Chapter 255: Chapter 254 It goes without saying Chapter 255: Chapter 254 It goes without saying After dinner, Luo Ning went to train with Yue Xiao and the others.
The matter online fermented further, resulting in another crash in the stock prices of both Gou Group and Feng Family.
Luo Ning had tampered with the Gou Family ancestral grave, causing not only the Gou Group’s stocks to plummet but also their new projects to fail to launch, and many of their ongoing projects faced unexpected halts.
Old Man Gou was infuriated by the events and was currently recuperating in the hospital, lacking the energy to manage the company affairs.
The doctors said he couldn’t go on getting angry and experiencing such emotional swings, or he might very well have a stroke.
Old Man Gou certainly didn’t want to have a stroke; he wished to live many more decades, so he restrained himself from paying attention to the online situation.
He thought that once the spotlight moved on, those issues would slowly fade away.
However, after this hospitalization, he didn’t ask Feng Yuxiao to take charge of the Gou Group, but tasked two other major shareholders with the leadership instead.
He was truly scared by the rumors online, thinking if Feng Yuxiao were to handle company matters, the claims about her being his illegitimate daughter would become even more credible.
The thought that his granddaughter caused all these troubles made it impossible for Old Man Gou to swallow his pride.
Therefore, he managed to find Jiang Xinxin’s mobile number and made the call.
He initially intended to berate Jiang Xinxin on how she raised her daughter and wanted Luo Ning to clarify on the internet and within the social circles that the previous allegations were all rumors.
Who would have thought that after only reprimanding Luo Ning for a bit, Jiang Xinxin retorted with such sarcasm that his pride was thoroughly trampled upon?
He was angered once more, and just as he was about to explode, the other party bluntly hung up the phone and even blocked him.
If it weren’t for the doctor’s warnings, Old Man Gou might have forcibly suppressed his rage; otherwise, he probably could have fainted from anger again.
On the other side, Feng Yuxiao and her siblings had a hard time as well.
After returning to the Feng Family, they were met not only by Mr. Feng and the Old Mistress’s cold looks but also by mockery from their uncles, and their cousins even questioned whether they were truly Feng Family’s bloodline.
Feng Yuhao’s position as the heir was directly revoked by Mr. Feng.
With Feng Yuhao having a mother who disgraced the Feng Family, Mr. Feng was so furious that there was no way he would allow him to inherit the family mantle.
Even towards this grandson, he became much colder and planned to give him much less in future shares.
That is if Feng Yuhao genuinely was his son’s seed.
If he turned out to be Old Man Gou’s seed, then Mr. Feng had no intention of keeping such a disgraceful sibling pair in the family.
Feng Yuhao indeed wanted to make a fuss, but was held back by Feng Yuxiao.
What was the use of causing a scene now? It would only make Mr. Feng angrier and less fond of them.
So she went to the hospital and talked with Feng Yanbai, intending to get a paternity test done.
She was prepared for when the paternity test results came out; she would post them online and then let everyone see that all of this was just Luo Ning spreading rumors.
When the time came, not only would she sue Luo Ning, but she also planned to use the power of public opinion—her most skilled weapon—to counterattack.
She intended to make that wretched Luo Ning unable to continue in the entertainment circle.
Feng Yanbai had had enough as well, and he, too, wanted to know whether his children were truly his.
He took some hair and let Feng Yuxiao go do the paternity test.
To prevent Feng Yuxiao from falsifying the results, he also kept a sample of his hair and that of Feng Yuxiao and her siblings, instructing his secretary to conduct another separate test.
Luo Ning quickly got wind of this situation.
Luo Ning wasn’t worried about this at all; once she returned home, she took out Feng Yanbai and Feng Yuxiao’s hair and placed it in a bowl of water.
This hair had been collected by Luo Ning using an evil spirit during a banquet from Feng Yanbai and others, initially intended for use in casting spells in the future, but now it came in handy earlier.
She then drew a talisman, ignited it, and threw it into the water to stir around.
Soon, the hair in the water spontaneously combusted, turned into ashes, and mixed into the water.
Luo Ning split the water into two parts and soaked wooden dolls inscribed with both individuals’ birth details.
This was a type of spell that could temporarily sever the blood ties between people within seven days.
As for the results of the paternity test, one could well imagine.
It was something she had inadvertently learned in that world of Mysticism.
Feng Yuxiao’s intentions were crystal clear to Luo Ning.
Since Feng Yuxiao had splashed this dirty water, Luo Ning was certainly going to make it stick, leaving no room for Feng Yuxiao to fight back with evidence.
If Feng Yuxiao and her daughter harbored malicious intentions first, they had to be prepared for the backlash.
Luo Ning had only tampered with the tests of Feng Yuxiao and Feng Yanbai, not Feng Yuhao’s.
With Feng Yuhao’s temperament, it was naturally better for him to remain in the Feng Family and continue wreaking havoc, as letting him go would be pointless.
In desperate need, Feng Yuxiao went to a private hospital and got an expedited examination.
Feng Yanbai’s secretary did the same, but at a different private hospital.
The results came out that very day.
When Feng Yuxiao received the results, she was thinking about how to use this report to clear her name and deal with Luo Ning.
However, she noticed something strange in the doctor’s gaze.
Perplexed, as she opened the results, she couldn’t believe her eyes.
It showed that they were not father and daughter.
She immediately checked the results for Feng Yanbai and Feng Yuhao, which confirmed they were father and son.
Feng Yuxiao couldn’t believe the results and found them even harder to accept.
Feng Yuhao had been by her side all along.
Seeing her in such a state, he was startled and immediately snatched the test report to look.
Seeing that he was still a child of the Feng Family, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
But when he saw that his sister and his father were not related, he was first shocked, then came to accept it.
He had some suspicions about his sister’s relationship with Old Man Gou when he saw the news online.
Otherwise, why would the old man make her his heir?
In fact, he could have inherited both the Feng Family and the Gou Group, being a male heir.
Now it seemed, they were indeed father and daughter.
His mother knew how to play her cards, making such a move, and crucially, it had been exposed.
He looked at the distraught Feng Yuxiao and said, “Well, if Dad finds out about this result, it’s going to be troublesome.”
“Cough, cough, I mean my dad,” he added.
Feng Yuxiao turned and glared at him fiercely, “What are you talking about? Do you believe those things on the internet too?”
In fact, at that moment, she couldn’t help but doubt herself; had her mother really had an affair with Old Man Gou?
Otherwise, how could she and Feng Yanbai not be related?
Feng Yuhao gave a wry smile, “The results are out. What difference does it make if I believe it or not?”
Feng Yuxiao still felt something was wrong, “No, I have to go ask Mom.”
So, taking the results, she ran off to the hospital where Gou Zhenmei was staying.
Gou Zhenmei lay on the bed, staring blankly, contemplating how to demand her benefits. She couldn’t let that scumbag Feng Yanbai get off cheaply.
Feng Yuxiao walked in.
She didn’t say much but handed over the report, “Mom, take a look at this.”
Gou Zhenmei sat up, took the report, glanced at it, and her eyes filled with disbelief.
“How could this be possible?”
Seeing her reaction, Feng Yuxiao couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, tell me the truth. Am I really Dad’s daughter?”
Gou Zhenmei abruptly looked up at her. “You don’t believe it either?”
