Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Who Gave You This Paternity Test Report?
Xiao Qing was taken by surprise and, after thanking the receptionist, she stepped into the elevator. However, her mind lingered on what the receptionist had said. Could someone in the management of New City Entertainment recognize her?
And it seemed like they were quite familiar with her. Otherwise, why would they have granted her such extensive access?
Right, she suddenly remembered something. She had asked Da Bao to find out who was behind the acquisition of New City Entertainment, but he still hadn’t given her an answer.
Could it be that Da Bao hadn’t found out yet?
The elevator stopped on the general manager’s floor, which was the second-highest level below the president’s office and the floor where the most powerful executives were located.
But Xiao Qing immediately felt confused.
She had been here once before and seen each office occupied by a senior member of staff. However, she had almost reached the end of the corridor and still hadn’t seen anyone...
Finally, at the end of the corridor, she found someone sitting in the general manager’s office. She remembered that this office had been vacant before; it was surprising that it had been transformed into a decent office so quickly.
Xiao Qing knocked on the door and, after receiving a response, slowly walked in.
The man at the desk was working with his head down and did not look up at her.
"Sit down," he said. "Give me two minutes."
Xiao Qing didn’t make a sound, silently sitting on the sofa and observing the man.
From her angle, she could only see his brow and couldn’t make out much else. But after watching for a while, she noticed a sense of tranquility between his brows; even after looking at a document for a minute, she didn’t see him frown or make any other expressions.
The man put down his pen and looked at her. He was surprised at first, then his eyes shone with joy, although he quickly masked it, Xiao Qing still caught it.
"Hello, General Manager, my name is Xiao Qing. I hope you don’t mind me coming unannounced because..."
"Sister-in-law, you don’t have to be so formal with me," Gu Chen said with a slight smile, a perpetually spring-like warmth on his face.
It was the first time he had seen Zhuang Shuqing since she disappeared five years ago. His reaction was a lot more subdued compared to Leng Yixing and Peng Yi’s.
He was indifferent, yet he did not seem distant in his gaze.
"Sister-in-law?" Xiao Qing was puzzled. "Do I know you?"
Gu Chen seriously answered her question, "We used to know each other, but now you don’t remember."
Xiao Qing: "..."
What should she do now?
Being in Empire for about half a month, many people have mistaken her for "Zhuang Shuqing". Could it really be that she is the person they are referring to?
No, she had to ask Da Bao to investigate Zhuang Shuqing’s past as well, to see if there were any clues to be found.
Suppressing her inner emotions, Xiao Qing smiled and said, "I’m sorry, I don’t remember."
Gu Chen didn’t speak again. Instead, he took out a stack of documents from the drawer, found one in the stack, and handed it to her, "Take a look at this first."
Xiao Qing walked over hesitantly. The first thing she saw was a paternity test report, and her eyes instantly widened to the extreme.
For some reason, when she flipped to the last page with the results, her hands trembled fiercely...
With a "snap", Xiao Qing slammed the report on the table, "Tell me the truth, who gave you this paternity test report?"
"Haven’t you already guessed?" Gu Chen’s lips curved into a slight smirk, thoroughly enjoying the expression on her face as she learned of this matter. He glanced inconspicuously at the camera hidden beside the curtains, his eyes brimming with amusement.
