Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future

Chapter 124: Figure

Xi Cheng knew that the butler was unhappy. He also knew that even if he was unhappy, he would help to take care of all his worries. Hence, he did not mind the butler’s unwilling gaze. After gesturing for him to leave, he turned his gaze to the computer screen again.

Xi Cheng was not interested in the alarm device that was introduced in the second half of the product launch. He just felt that the young man in a white suit on stage was a little unpleasant to the eyes. In addition, even though he clearly did not like to see girls wearing that kind of strange heavy makeup, for some reason, he felt very good about the girl called Huo Tian.

Xi Cheng paused the video and looked at Huo Tian, who was doing the commentary, for a long while. When he pressed the pause button, he happened to stop at a horrible angle of Huo Tian. Her small face was a little deformed, but Xi Cheng did not find it ugly. Instead, he found it a little cute.

“If she had given birth to a daughter, she would be this old…”

Xi Cheng mumbled unconsciously to himself. Only then did he realize that the reason he felt so close to the girl called Huo Tian was probably that he had shifted his feelings for his daughter to her.

Xi Cheng shook his head and sighed. “Sigh, I don’t know if it’s a daughter. If it’s a daughter, I hope she’ll be more obedient and sweet. Although this girl is very good too, she’s too dazzling and will attract countless wolf pups…”

He muttered to himself as he watched the video to the end. When it ended, the cameraman seemed to have stood up. The scene was a little shaky, and a figure in a champagne-colored long dress flashed by. Xi Cheng felt an inexplicable sense of concern for this person. He wanted to take a closer look, but he realized that the woman’s face wasn’t captured.

Xi Cheng thought that this concern was just an illusion and did not take it to heart. However, after completing all the work and before going to bed at night, that graceful figure once again flashed past in his mind the moment he closed his eyes.

He forced himself to go to sleep and in his dream, he returned to the familiar yet unfamiliar small courtyard. The woman seemed to have heard footsteps behind her and turned around to stand up. She said happily, “Hubby, you’re back? The baby kicked me again today…”

The woman was facing the light and Xi Cheng could not see her face, but he could see the woman’s clothes clearly. She was wearing an off-shoulder champagne gold long dress. The dress was fitting and outlined the woman’s graceful figure as well as made her round stomach stand out.

Even though he would be able to see the woman’s face if he took a few more steps forward, Xi Cheng subconsciously stopped in his tracks and stood rooted to the ground.

“Hubby? What’s wrong?”

The moment the woman walked towards him, Xi Cheng opened his eyes subconsciously and left the dream. The more Xi Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The woman who had appeared in the video for just a short moment was definitely related to him. Perhaps she was his wife!

It was past two in the morning, but Xi Cheng could not be bothered about it. He quickly called his subordinate who worked at the medical equipment company.

Xi Cheng instructed his subordinate to find out the woman’s identity as soon as possible, but he could not fall asleep anymore. He was looking forward to it and feeling nervous at the same time. He hoped that she was his wife, but at the same time, he felt that how could it be possible for him to be blessed by fate so easily when he didn’t manage to get any news of his wife at all despite searching for many years.

His subordinate was very efficient at his work. He sent Ding Rong’s information to him before dawn.

As Ding Rong did not like to take pictures and there were no surveillance cameras in the urban village, the subordinate could not find a clear picture of Ding Rong either. He could only send over a word document.

The document introduced Ding Rong as having participated in the product launch in the capacity of a family member to the company’s boss and the chief engineer. She was siblings with Ding Chen, who was one of the bosses and was mother and daughter with Huo Tian, who was in charge of the product development. She was currently single and had more than one admirer in the past.

In addition, this document emphasized the matter of how Ding Rong and the Huo Family had brought back the wrong child in the past. It explained Huo You and Huo Tian’s attitude towards Ding Rong respectively. It was very detailed.

Xi Cheng looked at the document and became more and more disappointed.

The girl that Ding Rong had raised had always been called Huo You. Huo Tian hadn’t changed her name even after returning to the Ding Family, so it could be seen that Ding Rong had definitely gotten married to a man whose surname was Huo. Regardless of whether that man had died or left the mother and daughter behind, it couldn’t be him.

Xi Cheng sighed and crumpled the document into a ball, throwing it into the trash can.

On the other side of the Earth, Ding Rong definitely did not know that a man was tossing and turning over her from across the ocean, unable to sleep. However, she could not fall asleep either because her daughter, who had attended the banquet with Si Huan, had not returned home.

When Huo Tian and Si Huan arrived at the banquet venue, most of the guests had already arrived. As the head of the Si Corporation, Si Huan’s tardiness was quite eye-catching.

One of his distant uncles was waiting at the door to welcome the guests. When he saw Si Huan’s car stop, there was a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. When Si Huan got out of the car and gentlemanly led an unfamiliar girl out, the dissatisfaction on his uncle’s face became that of gloating.

“Oh my, isn’t this my eldest nephew? Why? Were you unable to find a young lady from a respectable family as your partner, so you randomly picked a young girl from the street?”
