However, when it came to Zhang Yuan's infertility, Li Tezhu felt that the rumors were a little exaggerated. After all, the media was obsessed with making up stories about the wealthy families in Nan Cheng
Judging from Zhang Yuan's attitude towards her children, Li Tezhu was not sure that they had been born by surrogate mothers.
No woman would treat her surrogate child compassionately the way Zhang Yuan treated Ning Tangxi.
Moreover, there was no evidence to support the rumors that Zhang Yuan was indeed infertile.
Huo Nanchen put away the documents in his hands. "Do you think that my wife looks like Zhang Yuan?"
"I don't think so."
Li Tezhu had given his answer instinctively. After he finished speaking, he pictured Gu Ruochu's and Zhang Yuan's appearances and carefully compared them.
His heart skipped a beat. At first glance, they did not look alike. However, the more he pictured their faces, the more similar their appearances turned out to be. At first, he thought it was an illusion, but after a while, a sudden realization dawned on him.
Zhang Yuan and Gu Ruochu had many similar features.
"Boss, do you suspect that Zhang Yuan is the Young Madam's biological mother?"
"Yes. It's just a guess."
The Gu family and the Ning family had always had a very close relationship, and Zhang Xuan had strangely adopted Gu Yanwei as her goddaughter. It was easy to get suspicious of the relationship between the two families.
However, Li Tezhu was dumbfounded. He did not think that the Young Madam would have any relationship with the Ning family. Could it be that the two families had swapped babies like in the plots of several soap operas on TV?
Li Tezhu though that it was all too crazy.
"I want you to investigate Ning Tang and Zhang Yuan's background. I want to know everything, from how they met, to when they got married. Again, don't alarm anyone."
The only way Huo Nanchen would find out the truth was by digging into the Ning family's past.
Li Tezhu's expression turned serious as he nodded, "All right. It might take some time. I'll let you know as soon as I find out."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Li Tezhu was overwhelmed by Huo Nanchen's compliment. "It's not hard at all. This is my job."
Li Tezhu had worked for Huo Nanchen for a long time, but he had never heard his boss compliment him in such a straightforward manner.
When Huo Nanchen went back to the bedroom, Gu Ruochu was still in the bathroom.
He casually grabbed a magazine and flipped through it absent-mindedly.
Gu Ruochu came out of the bathroom and saw him sitting in a laid back manner at the head of the bed.
His shirt was a little messy, but it made him look even more decadent and sexy.
"Are you done showering?"
Huo Nanchen's voice was faint and hoarse. His eyes followed her as she moved across the room.
Gu Ruochu's body was wrapped in a towel, and it barely covered her thighs.
"Yes."
Gu Ruochu dried her hair. "Are you done with your conversation with Li Tezhu?"
"Yes. He already left."
Huo Nanchen hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. His hand caressed her waist, and he smiled without batting an eyelid. "Are you wearing your underwear?"
"..."
Huo Nanchen had a perverted smile on his face.
Gu Ruochu rolled her eyes at him and did not reply.
Huo Nanchen's let out a laugh when he saw her reaction.
"Go take a shower."
"All right." Huo Nanchen planted a few kisses on her lips before entering the bathroom.
Gu Ruochu's phone rang, and she quickly took it out of her purse.
It was Xinlan.
"Hello, Xinlan. Why are you calling me at this hour?"
"Ruochu, where are you now?" Chu Xinlan's voice had a sense of urgency. She sounded frightened.
Gu Ruochu's heart thumped. "I'm at home. Did something happen?"
