Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: The Unpredictability of Human Nature

Just one day later, everything turned upside down.

In the morning, Gong Chen went out for some matters.

Lin Zhiyi and Liao Yi had just finished breakfast with Xingxing in the room and were preparing to look at picture books with her.

Liao Yi suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

"Ah! Du Qian, that bastard! He’s talking nonsense online!"

Lin Zhiyi’s book slipped from her hand as she hastily picked up her phone.

Du Qian had actually come forward to expose the fact that Lin Zhiyi had a child, even insinuating that the child was not Sang Li’s.

When his face, weary and even haggard, appeared in front of the camera, Lin Zhiyi felt her scalp tingling painfully.

"I was together with Lin Zhiyi three years ago. Although Xingxing isn’t my child, I don’t know who her biological father is either, but I’ve cared for her for three years. She’s called me daddy for three years, and I truly can’t bear parting with her."

"Zhiyi, I can’t stop you from pursuing what you want, but please don’t be so cruel to me."

The journalist asked, "Mr. Du, are you saying that Miss Lin and Mr. Sang were separated three years ago, and she went back to Mr. Sang for money, claiming that an illegitimate child is his?"

Du Qian replied sorrowfully, "Please don’t frame a child like that. I am her father, and I’m willing to care for her for a lifetime, even if she’s unwell."

The journalists showed expressions of sympathy: "So Lin Zhiyi actually exploited a sick child! Mr. Du, please don’t be upset. Have you asked the child’s opinion? Does she even recognize you as her father?"

"Of course, I have records of the child’s growth. Wouldn’t that be enough to demonstrate the relationship between me, Lin Zhiyi, and the child?"

Du Qian pulled out his phone, showing videos he had secretly recorded of Xingxing growing up. All the footage had been taken without Lin Zhiyi’s knowledge.

Some were taken at a guesthouse, some during hospital checkups.

Nearly every time he taught Xingxing to call him daddy.

Since Xingxing learned to speak, under his subtle hints and smiles, she sweetly called him daddy in each video.

To outsiders, it seemed like a man who didn’t care about blood ties, documenting a child’s growth and becoming her father—a true paragon of the modern man, a tragic victim.

At this moment, Lin Zhiyi denying anything would make her look like a vain and heartless woman.

The truth was as she expected.

The journalists even interviewed Lin Zhiyi’s neighbors, almost all of whom thought they were together.

"Seems like they are. He dotes on that child so much. Doctor Du always visits the child and Lin Zhiyi first thing every week when he’s back."

"Women can be shy, but anyone can see what’s going on."

During the interviews, Lin Zhiyi even saw footage of one of her guesthouse workers rushing to the camera.

"Wait—"

The screen shifted, cutting off the audio.

After watching, Lin Zhiyi was so furious she dropped her phone, struggling to catch her breath as she spoke.

"He, he’s lying! I’ve never been with him!"

Sitting on the sofa, Xingxing hadn’t seen the images on the phone, but she heard Du Qian’s voice.

She looked up, puzzled: "Mommy, is that Uncle Du? What does ’illegitimate child’ mean?"

Lin Zhiyi’s face turned pale.

After living for over three years at Hai Yue Bay, everyone liked Xingxing and avoided mentioning her father intentionally.

Unexpectedly, after three years of peace, the term "illegitimate child" had appeared because of Du Qian.

"Xingxing, you have a father. Don’t listen to his nonsense." Lin Zhiyi held back her anger, trying her best to calmly soothe her child.

Xingxing, being sensitive, sensed something was wrong from Lin Zhiyi’s trembling voice.
