The Fake Daughter is the Hidden Bigshot

Chapter 12: Suspicions



Shaking her head to dismiss her conflicted emotions, she decided to add another sentence to save Ming Yue from being unable to reject.

"You can decide and answer later, why not exchange contact information first?"

The idea immediately lit up Ming Yue's eyes as she found this girl to be extremely comfortable to look at.

[Ahhhhh! She looks just a year or two older than me but is so considerate!! How come her family doesn't come forward to protect her!! If her family didn't dote on her, I'd snatch her away and spoil her to death!]

Those were Ming Yue's true thoughts and it brought a genuine smile atop the opposite girl's face as she nodded to herself. 'Indeed my family dotes on me.'

Perhaps not wanting to miss this chance, Ming Yue hurriedly brought out her phone from who knows where and directly opened the dialer, ready to get the phone number first.

An unconscious chuckle escaped the girl's mouth as she took the phone and unrestrainingly gave her personal number.

It wasn't even what her agent had! That was her professional number.

For some reason, she really felt like giving Ming Yue the personal number, wanting to be in contact with this kind girl for a long time and possibly help her, if ever.

"Here, my name is Zhi Ying," she said, waiting for Ming Yue's call to ring and save her phone number.

"Oh, that's a nice name," Ming Yue said, pondering over it before saying hers as the phone rang at a low voice, "There, my name is Ming Yue."

"Thank you, you also have a nice name," Zhi Ying complimented wholeheartedly, finding the name actually suitable for the girl in front of her.

Although she wasn't simply a year or two older than Ming Yue, nearly being thirty, she was a celebrity and it wasn't right to reveal it publically.

It was one matter for pthers to know it and another for it to be publicised and made into the trending topics.

Yet before she could continue the conversation, the sharp sound of another slap brought their conversation to a close.

Snap!

"How dare you! You, a mere mistress, dare to tell me what is right and wrong to educate my son!"

"Mom!"

Before her son could infuriate her further, Cie Tang declared, "Enough! The rest of it will be decided at home."

With that, he went to the Shen couple, apologising for the scene and took his sister home.

With no choice, the Tianfu Electronics Director could also only follow along after a word of public apology for causing such a scene and leaving with gritted teeth and a darkened expression.

[Oh my! Looks like this drama will not end easily.]

Ming Yue mused, wondering if she should inform Cie Tang about this anonymously but the next second she smiled.

[It seemd I underestimated the old wife! To think she has finally regained her previous fierce spirit and doesn't trust her son or husband at all!]

[She directly asked her brother to investigate everything about those three since she married, but urgently about the company shares and real estate assets alongside other assets and shares.]

It seemed that even Ming Yue wouldn't be that comprehensive, but surprisingly, Cie Tang was happy to oblige, having already been wary of that man after seeing him with some other woman despite his sister being well and good.

Naturally, such scenes of taking women besides their wife to such occasions was considered commonplace but it was strange for his sister's husband to do it and say that his wife was sick.

So, he chose to investigate and the sole reason he appeared here today was to hopefully open his sister's eyes.

So he was actually thankful to Ming Yue for helping in the first part as the rest was easy to deal with.

Thus, he decided to give the girl a gift for the inconvenience and disrespect his nephew caused.

Oh, ex-nephew because his sister wouldn't take it.

Yet Ming Yue was unaware of this as she stayed in the party where the flair and limelight was stolen by this wife-mistress drama, causing the Shen Family a headache.

How could their beloved daughter Shen Pei'er become the center of attention if this was the situation?

[Zhi Ying... Zhi Ying... Zhi Ying...]

Suddenly hearing her name in Ming Yue's thoughts three times, Zhi Ying was startled, thinking that probably her bad situation hadn't ended yet.

However, the next words shocked her even more.

[Why does the name sound so familiar? It's as if it's at the tip of my tongue but I keep forgetting where I've heard it...]

[Hmm... daughter of a wealthy family... working as an Actress to grow until becoming and A-lister... Hiding Identity... Agent betraying to send her to a director's bed, but all rumours around him are fake as he is clean and even knows her brother!]

[Ughhhhhhhhhh! I clearly remember all that, but I don't remember where!]

Hearing those frustrated thoughts, Zhi Ying panicked as it seemed there were clues about unknown events yet she couldn't pierce them.

Unfortunately, she couldn't just go around giving personal information any more than necessary as there was still a risk of leak in such a public setting.

[Ahhhh! If only I knew her family name or the name of the wealthy families in the Capital!]

As if expecting Ming Yue's need, a conversation nearby drifter into her ears.

"I've heard that the Ling, Huo and Sheng families of the Capital are expanding here?"

"Hah! Where did you hear it? It's probably false!"

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

As if anticipating such a question, the other party puffed their chest and nose out before saying, "Heh! What does someone from the countryside like you knows! The Capital has five wealthy families so how could only 3 expand? Do you think the other two are stupid or have lost their heirs!"

The hint of disdain was vivid in that person's tone as if they knew what other's didn't.

But no amount of flattering or praises could get him to open his mouth.

Meanwhile, in a corner, a man with straight back smiled meaningfully looking at the fool spreading the word.

"Looks like the right person was chosen."

As he said it, he swirled the red wine and promptly gulped it in one go before making his exit.

[Huh? A suspicious man?]

Well, he did indeed go unnoticed except Ming Yue who was looking for clues ended up seeing him.
