BXBX NOVEL Chapter 191 - 191: Who Is His Daddy?
“You two go down for now; I have something to discuss with her,” Li Zhenting ordered expressionlessly.
As soon as Li Zhijun heard this, he immediately took Ding Ding and exited the car.
This arrangement was fine with him. If Shen Ning would willingly tell him that the child was his, he would be more than willing to help, rather than feeling like she was holding a knife to his throat and forcing him to come here. He would also put in more effort to save Coco.
Leng Xue also jumped out of the car.
Outside, five young, strong men in black clothing were gathering.
Soon, only Li Zhenting and Shen Ning remained inside the car.
“I’ll ask you a few questions, and you better answer truthfully. Otherwise, your son’s fate will be your responsibility alone,” Li Zhenting spoke coldly.
“Okay,” Shen Ning’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.
“What’s your son’s name?”
“Coco.”
“Who is his father?” Li Zhenting asked icily.
Despite his seemingly heartless demeanor, he couldn’t explain why he didn’t want to save a child who had been kidnapped, even though it was a normal thing for a responsible and just businessman to do. Shen Ning’s child with another man was the reason behind his reluctance.
Shen Ning’s heart tightened, and she looked at him with some unease.
“Spit it out,” he furrowed his brows impatiently. “You should know I’m a businessman, and I weigh the costs and benefits of everything 1 do. 1 don’t need to go rescue someone else’s child. The child’s father is the one responsible for saving him.”
Shen Ning’s hands tightly twisted her clothes at the hem as she bit her lip.
Coco belonged to her, he was her flesh and blood.
Over the years, she had raised him, changed his diapers, and gone through so many hardships. If she told the truth today, he might leave her in the future…
And, most importantly, Shen Mei, a woman like that, would become his stepmother. She was pushing her son into a pit.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Li Zhenting was getting very impatient. “Is it Jing Chenxi’s or Li Zhijun’s? Spit it out.”
“Neither of them,” Shen Ning replied in a soft voice.
Li Zhenting sneered, “You can’t possibly not know who the child’s father is.”
Shen Ning blushed and suddenly raised her head. “Mr. Li, yes, 1 truly don’t know. That year, 1 was in dire straits, and 1 went to a hotel to seek help. As a result, I was raped by a thug.”
Thinking back to that night six years ago, her heart ached, and tears filled her eyes, sparkling with tiny cold stars.
“Heh, you seduce men with your charm and then blame them. It’s amazing you can say that with a straight face,” Li Zhenting sneered.
For some reason, after learning that the child wasn’t Jing Chenxi’s, his mood improved considerably. He opened the car door, gritted his teeth, and said, “Today, I’m saving your son only for Ding Ding’s sake. Remember that.”
He stepped out of the car.
“Dad, please, you have to save Coco, you must save him,” Ding Ding stood nervously in the darkness. As soon as Li Zhenting got out of the car, he immediately ran over and threw himself into his arms. His face turned pale, and he clung tightly to his clothes, murmuring and begging.
Seeing his son like this, Li Zhenting felt heartache and worried that this tense situation might trigger his old illness. He quickly embraced him and reassured him, “Don’t worry, Dad has already called the police and brought so many people. We will definitely save Coco.”
“Thank you, Dad,” Ding Ding rarely expressed gratitude to him.
Li Zhenting sighed inwardly. This son of his was a lost cause, completely leaning towards outsiders. But no matter what, he was still his precious son, and he cared deeply for him..
