King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"snort!"

I gave a cold laugh, brushed aside Qi Yue'er's hand, walked straight to the coffee table, and picked up the test kit that Lin Yue had bought for me.

Speaking of which, this is truly a wonderful era!

It can detect anything quickly...

Back when Lin Lan and I were together, firstly, there wasn't so much high technology, and secondly... we simply didn't have such a strong sense of vigilance!

I first heard about this kind of thing when I was in graduate school.

One of my roommates found a female nurse at the Municipal People's Hospital.

His girlfriend told him... A long time ago, the most serious spread of that incurable disease in Jiangcheng City... came from out of town, temporary couples working on construction sites.

They generally have a low level of education and poor awareness of prevention... therefore, they are a high-risk group for that disease.

However, in recent years, universities have become the hardest-hit areas.

Whether it's a young girl or a young boy, once they come to university and are no longer under their parents' supervision, they completely let loose and think that the other person is clean, and as a result, they get hooked!

I picked up the test kit, examined it for a moment, then sat down on the sofa and crossed my legs...

Qi Yue'er looked bewildered and walked up to me, asking, "President Song, what is this...?"

"Hmph! If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet."

I tossed the test kit to her: "Let's get tested, that way everyone will feel at ease..."

Qi Yue'er frowned slightly, her face showing hesitation, and her eyes darted around a little.

"President Song, this...?"

"What? Are you hiding something?"

I smiled faintly, instinctively reaching for a cigarette, but after a moment's thought, I picked up my teacup and took a sip of water instead: "My time is very precious... You don't want to talk about investment anymore?"

Upon hearing my words, Qi Yue'er's eyes hardened, as if she had made up her mind.

She tore open the packaging, followed the instructions, pricked the test strip, and dripped a drop of blood onto it...

According to the instructions, it will take 15 minutes for the results to come out.

"Young Master Song...you're overthinking it!"

Qi Yue'er smiled and sat down on the single sofa, saying confidently, "When I was pregnant, during my first prenatal checkup, the hospital required mandatory screening for infectious diseases, and I tested negative every time. But... it's a good thing you're so meticulous!"

I didn't look at her directly, took out my phone and scrolled through the news, saying, "That was five or six months ago, I guess. As for me... I only believe what I see with my own eyes, not what others say."

"Giggle..."

Qi Yue'er laughed and said, "Young Master Song, you're really humorous! You look so handsome when you're all serious!"

I'm telling you, you're happy now... but you won't be happy for long!

She's six months pregnant...

My first prenatal checkup was more than 5 months ago!

Back then, Xu Meiling and Hu Zhaojun hadn't yet started their affair...

But then again, looking at this woman in front of me, I actually feel quite sorry for her!

Foolishly, he has become a victim of the power struggle between the two families, yet he remains oblivious and willingly serves as cannon fodder!

Although it is said that... people die for wealth and birds die for food!

But sometimes when you think about it carefully, life is really tragic, especially for someone like her!

"Young Master Song, actually... there are some things I know..."

Qi Yue'er got up from the single sofa and sat down next to me, trying to take my hand, but I deliberately raised my hand to avoid it...

"What is it? Just say it!" I said, frowning.

"The reason the old chairman was so eager to make this movie... Young Master Song, were you really completely unaware of this?"

A sly glint flashed in Qi Yue'er's eyes: "Young Master Song...look at the actress on this cover, she..."

"Alright! Stop talking!"

I waved my hand: "I don't like actors!"

Qi Yue'er looked at me in shock, her eyes filled with suspicion, but then she calmed down and remained silent...

I know what she's trying to say. She's trying to say that... that actress, the leading lady from back then, must be my biological mother!

That's why, when she first approached me to discuss financing, she deliberately put a photo of my mother from that year on the cover of the information page.

And what are you talking about... My father, Song Guolong, wants to remake this movie and has promised to invest a lot of money in it. Isn't he just trying to use my parents' feelings to get my attention?

Needless to say... this must also be a "show" arranged for her by Hu Zhaojun!

I believe that Song Guolong hired Yunyue Film and Television Investment Company to make a film in memory of my mother!

But that's not the point... The point is, even Hu Zhaojun knows that my birth mother is Qiao Yunshu...

This is absolutely shocking!

Originally, this was my most closely guarded secret...

But it seems that too many people know this secret right now!

Needless to say, Song Huajin, who informed Yin Mei... How did Hu Zhaojun find out?

What did Song Huayao tell her?

But if Song Huayao knew my true identity, would she still be so shameless as to try to use her "honey trap" on me?

No! Hu Zhaojun must have other sources of information!

Since ancient times... paper cannot prevent fire!

Even if I try to hide it... this day will come sooner or later!

Qi Yue'er just "tapped" me, asking if this actress looked familiar. This actually revealed the dynamics of the power struggle at the bottom: Hu Zhaojun knows me inside and out!

Hu Zhaojun already knows, but what about Zhao Cheng? What about Xu Shaokun?

I dare not think about it...

Moreover, I can say with 100% certainty that Yin Mei knows my background!

She outwardly didn't believe what Song Huajin said... but she was just acting!

She definitely knows in her heart... I am the 'bastard' child that actress gave birth to for her husband Song Guolong!

Now she keeps making a fuss, saying that I am her biological son, and that I was only used for her purposes!

I can even imagine... even if Yin Mei doesn't kill me now, she will definitely take me with her when she's truly on her last legs...

Just like how Empress Dowager Cixi took Emperor Guangxu with her when she was dying!

"Young Master Song..."

Seeing my solemn expression and silence, Qi Yue'er tentatively whispered, "Actually... I'm not gossiping, but now that I'm on your side, I definitely have to say a few heartfelt words to you... Hu Jinhu didn't initially agree to you marrying Hu Zhaohua, but he just because..."

"Why?" I asked, frowning.

Qi Yue'er said, "It's because Director Yin called and threatened him, saying that if he didn't agree, she would expose his past misdeeds, and neither of them would get away with it..."

"What's your background?"

"I really don't know!"

Qi Yue'er looked at me seriously and said, "Although I am his wife, he is actually very wary of me. He never tells me some of the company's core secrets, and even... when we sleep at night, he is worried that I will talk in my sleep, so he always sleeps in a separate bed and doesn't let me sleep with him..."

"Look at what you're saying..."

I sneered, "If you don't sleep with him, where did this child in your belly come from?"

"Uh...uh..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue'er's eyes darted around quickly, and she said with a nervous and embarrassed expression, "Of course it's his. What I mean is... when he's really going to sleep, he'll kick me out, worried that I might hear him talking in his sleep. Young Master Song... this Hu Jinhu has many secrets. Later, I'll help you find them out little by little..."

The human heart is unpredictable...

Actually, I had a thought in my mind: to turn Qi Yue'er to the enemy and make her a counter-spy to help me gather intelligence for the Hu family!

But even now, she still won't tell me the truth... then this person has no value to me whatsoever!

He's only fit to be the fuse that ignites the Hu family's downfall...

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and two red lines clearly appeared on one of the reagent slots...

I glanced to the side and saw that Qi Yue'er's face had turned pale with fright, and her body was so tense that she looked like she had been electrocuted, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying!

"This...this?!"

"snort!"

I smiled faintly: "Indeed! Better safe than sorry. Luckily, I was on my guard!"

"This, this... this can't be real! This can't be real!"

Qi Yue'er was almost terrified. She covered her head with her hands, and after a moment of stunned silence, she picked up the reagent card box and examined it carefully again...

"Young Master Song, this is impossible! You're doing this on purpose, are you deliberately playing a trick on me? This is no joke!"

Qi Yue'er's face was deathly pale, her eyes were wide open, and her eyelashes were trembling violently...

"I...I've had prenatal checkups, and I'm fine. This thing...it's inaccurate!" Qi Yue'er still held onto hope.

"Heh! Sigh...!"

I sighed softly: "Whether it's accurate or not... just go to the Municipal People's Hospital and get checked out in the examination department, then you'll know..."

"Impossible! Impossible! How could this be? I clearly... how could I possibly have this disease?" Qi Yue'er cried out in despair, clutching her head in fear.

"You're asking me? Who should I ask?"

I sneered, "Alright, let's hurry to the hospital and see if it's still possible to prevent mother-to-child transmission. After all, the child is innocent!"

"what!"

Qi Yue'er's emotions completely collapsed. She stood up and quickly ran out of my room!

Watching her retreating figure, I let out a long sigh...

What should I say about her?

Pitiful?

sad?

Or something else... I can't really say!

Soon after Qi Yue'er ran away, Lin Yue came in, looking at me with a horrified expression...

"Brother-in-law, you...you did this? Then..." She was also dumbfounded, she didn't expect me to do something like this?

"The fuse is lit, we're just waiting for the explosives to detonate!" I sneered.
