Bad Mommy Has Forgotten Little Orchid Chapter 31 CHAPTER 31 – An Unusual Visitor

On a Friday, a couple of days after reporting the money launders, the subordinates of those people confessed their crimes, while those who still believed Jiang XinYan was slandering them did not.

Jiang XinYan cooperated with the police and provided them with evidence of their crimes. This finally stroke doubled their soon-to-be punishments.Jiang XinYan had hoped there will be at least one person who will drag down the people behind them to fall down along with them. She was surprised at their loyalty. However, she could not truly remove the possibility that he had threatened them.Jiang XinYan could not underestimate the enemy anymore.Zhao JianBo's schemes really ran deep. However, his movements were very odd. She could not fully grasp all of his cards. Jiang XinYan had been observing him during the board meetings and had thought his frankness meant it will be easy to defeat him.There was one thing she could not understand, however. She had seen how that man reeked of greasiness and had outrightly shown his dislike toward her. How could he move so discreetly without leaving a trail behind. The only other possibility she could think of was there's a person behind him, coaching him on what to do.This possibility had caused her a mental blockage. She could not figure out who it was. For three days, she went over the files, Chu Yang had gathered for her. These files contained the actions of every board member for these last ten years.She was still busy with this when her cell phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, Jiang XinYan was stunned before answering."Zi Zi!""XinYan...huu..huuu. what should I do..." Chu YingZi cried."You, what's wrong with you?" The voice Chu YingZi had missed so much lately replied to her instantly. Her fierce tone made Chu YingZi smile."I'm downstairs at your company but they won't let me in, they want me to take my mask and hat off.""I'll be right down!"Chu YingZi smiled mischievously at the security and showed them her phone."See, even your boss said she'll personally come down to meet me. Hmmph!"The security guard doing his job "..."...After personally fetching Chu YingZi from downstairs Jiang XinYan took her to a lounge beside her office.She watched her with keen eyes that were partly excited to see her friend for so long and partly worried.For Chu YingZi, the infamous actress with such a busy schedule to suddenly show up unannounced over to Z city, something major must have happened."What's happened?" Jiang XinYan folded her arms across her chest in an interrogative stance.Chu YingZi who was currently slouched on the couch suddenly sat up with her back straight. She played off her nervousness and laughed casually, "Why? Can't I come see you? You've been hounding my phone for the past month and now that I show up you don't want me? Yan'er, did I lose your favour?""Quit the bullshit. Zi Zi, you're here by yourself without a manager or assistant. What's happened?"Chu YingZi sighed knowing she could not fool Jiang XinYan. It was ironic how her calling was to give the best performance showcasing many different characters through her acting ability and yet when it came to her best friend, she could never get her to believe her lies."Yan'er, I'm pregnant.""What?!" At first Jiang XinYan thought she was acting out a scene, however, when she saw Chu YingZi's serious face, she sucked in a deep breath.For the next thirty minutes, Chu YingZi then explained to her how it happened.Two months ago, during an event, someone poisoned her drink. While inebriated, Chu YingZi bumped into a tall sturdy guy whose face she does not recall but was very sure must have been handsome otherwise she would not have willingly threw herself into him.One thing led to another and next morning when she woke up, he had disappeared leaving behind a note. In the note he emphasised how terrific that night was with her. In his last statement he warned her to be careful of her surroundings because her enemies had almost succeeded into ruining all her reputation.He had left behind this note along with the two pinhole cameras."Yan'er, I remember everything that happened that night and everything he did, but whenever I try to remember what he looks like I draw blank.""Who's the culprit, who spiked your drink?""The evidence points to Zhao LiYi, she's been a nuisance ever since I got chosen for the Dior brand ambassador instead of her."Jiang XinYan sat down and processed the load of information Chu YingZi just revealed."Yan'er, say something. I know she's your cousin.""I don't have any relations with those people. I've told grandfather my stance. Zi Zi, I'll always be on your side, your enemy is my enemy."Chu YingZi smiled. "I knew I was right to call you my white knight... Anyways, I've already gotten my revenge, every resource Zhao LiYi was planning to utilise, I've stolen from her.""Is that why you decided to act in this ridiculous drama that's currently airing?" Jiang XinYan suddenly asked."Partly. Min HaLin also thinks it'll be good for my image, as you know the past year all my roles were acting as villainess. Because of that some of those colleagues of mine thought to use me as branch to climb hire by slandering my name.""Zi Zi, you are a Chu heiress and also a major shareholder at LinZi Entertainment why do still insist on choosing this harder route?" Jiang XinYan once again persuaded."Did my mother speak to you again? You know it's my passion and she knows this too. I've already told you to ignore her when he asks you to persuade me to quit." Chu YingZi frowned.Jiang XinYan threw her hands in a gesture of defeat. "I respect your passion, but I agree with her on this."Chu YingZi glared at her."Zi Zi don't glare, you look cute when you do... anyway, we've deviated from the major topic here. What are you going to do about this child? You really don't know who the father is? Is there anything you remember? I can also get people to track...""No, don't do that. I've left it to fate. If we are meant to be, fate with make it happen.""But what about the child?""XinYan, I thought a lot when I found out the news, how my parents will react, how I will continue this career. I just kept thinking and thinking and all the answers pointed to me terminating this pregnancy—Jiang XinYan suck in a cold breath."—don't worry I will never do it. Because of your situation I know if I terminate this pregnancy, you will never forgive me. So ultimately I chose to come and see you."Jiang XinYan sighed in relief but still told her, "Zi Zi, I appreciate you thinking of me, but at the end of the day it's your choice, you will be be one giving birth and raising the child.""Yan'er, I don't want to raise this child alone," Chu YingZi revealed her biggest fear.Jiang XinYan went hug her. "I'll find out who the father of your child is, even if I have to scour the whole country, I'll make sure he takes responsibility."Chu YingZi laughed through her tears."I don't even know why I'm crying like this... lately I've not been myself.""It's because of the tiny human inside you. How are your other symptoms?" Jiang XinYan asked her worriedly."So far just irregular emotions, no morning sickness yet, it's like the child knows not to stress me out.""Zi Zi, although I'm scared for you, just the thought of you bringing a tiny little human who will look like you in the future makes me want to hold them and hug them already. I promise you I'll be the best godmother."Chu YingZi laughed and hugged her friend tightly."Trust you to appoint yourself as godmother already."Jiang XinYan held her friend shoulder and said, "Of course, otherwise where else will you find someone so loyal, someone who will dote on you more than me.""Yan'er...""Hmm?""I don't want the world to know?""About the child?""Mm... I don't care what they will say about me but the thought of them slandering this child and in the future for them to find out how they came to this world already breaks my heart.""Don't worry, I will protect you. No one will ever slander you and the child.""...Yan'er, can I ask also ask for huge favour?""Anything!""Don't tell Yang Yang or my parents. At least not until I find that man.""Okay...I promise I won't tell them. We will find that man together I'll give you all the contacts I know. Also, the condominium near the city, you can stay there as long as you like. I've been staying with grandfather to monitor his health.""Thank you. You're really my saving grace and no one else compares to the lovely you."Jiang XinYan brushed her off disgustedly."Don't use those cheesy lines from your drama, I really can't stand it."Chu YingZi laughed with tears still streaming down her eyes.Jiang XinYan smiled concernedly while watching her. She then started planning on hiring a housekeeper, a doctor, and some bodyguards to take care of her friend for the next nine months.Knowing how Chu YingZi had been pampered all her life and having once tasted her awful cooking, she knew she could not be by herself in the big condominium.Jiang XinYan was mentally checking all these plans when Xiao Fei knocked on the glass door."CEO Jiang, I know you said to not interrupt you at this time, but there's an unusual visitor wanting to see you. I couldn't leave him downstairs, so I brought him to your office."
