The economic gap between her and Li Beijue was too vast; if things really got heated, the court would definitely award him custody of Bae Chi. Moreover, with Li Beijue's power and influence, if he knew of Bae Chi's existence, he wouldn't bother with legal procedures—he'd certainly snatch Bae Chi away from her!
That man is nothing but an egomaniac and a sex maniac; she would never let Bae Chi be with him!
Absolutely not!
Chi Enen clenched her jaw tightly.
"Anxin, didn't you ask me why I suddenly went abroad a few years ago?"
"Ah?"
"I was pregnant at that time and had to go abroad for some reasons. So even if I tell him now that Bae Chi is his child, he wouldn't believe me."
Lin Anxin frowned, "Why wouldn't he believe it? If it comes to that, just do a paternity test. Bae Chi is indeed his son. You're not the kind of woman who's promiscuous; if it's not his, then whose is it?"
Chi Enen gave a bitter smile; in Li Beijue's eyes, she was exactly that kind of frivolous woman.
"I could have Bae Chi and him take a paternity test, but even if it proves he's the father, so what? I don't want Bae Chi to be an illegitimate child that can't be acknowledged publicly."
Lin Anxin was suddenly at a loss for words.
She almost blurted out, "You two could just get married; then Bae Chi would be legitimate," but thinking about what Chi Enen had said, that the man was very rich and influential, she swallowed her words involuntarily.
With any other man, getting on a bus and buying a ticket would be the most normal thing, but if the man has money and status... that indeed makes things difficult.
"Does that man really have so much money that he could bypass legal procedures and snatch the child directly?" Lin Anxin couldn't help but ask.
"Let me put it this way, he has enough money to bend the law to his will," Chi Enen said with some helplessness.
After all, that man was too rich and had too powerful a background.
If he doesn't want to follow legal procedures and wants to avoid moral condemnation, nobody can control him.
"...That powerful?" Lin Anxin was gaping, speechless for a moment.
"Right, Anxin, you were looking for me for something?" Chi Enen asked.
"I don't even know how to tell you, it's just... it's just..."
"What is it?"
"The video you took last night was uploaded online."
Video?
Chi Enen was startled, somewhat confused, "What video?"
"What are you talking about? What video?"
"..."
Lin Anxin paused and then said.
"Chi Enen, are you not fully awake or are you playing dumb with me? What other video could it be? Of course, I'm talking about the video from the bar last night with your young husband... That video has been posted online! So, I'm asking who you met last night."
Li Beijue uploaded the playful video they took to the internet?
Why would he do that?
Was it to get back at her?
On the other end of the phone, Lin Anxin was still pressing for answers, "Enen, regardless of everything, there's a saying that a night of marriage brings a hundred days of grace. This is too much, even for him! Where is he? I'll help you deal with him!"
"No... no need," Chi Enen was feeling overwhelmed, not wanting to explain the complex situation and said in a hurry, "Anxin, I have stuff to do, I'll explain in detail another day."
"Hey! Chi Enen, it's not that I..."
"That will be all, I'm hanging up."
Chi Enen abruptly ended the call, tossing her mobile phone onto the bedside, and glanced at the time.
It was already 4:30 a.m.
The Drama Crew had regulations—work started punctually at 8 a.m., and she, a minor role player, absolutely couldn't be late!
Emma, forget it!
Since he had left her on the side of the road, he probably didn't want to see her again, right?
To hell with it!
Time to sleep; health is one's primary asset! Whatever will be, will be!
Chi Enen lifted the quilt, not bothering to wash up, and crawled into bed. In a short while, she fell into a deep sleep.
