Chapter 422: Chapter 422: One Billion Compensation
 

Everything today was within my plan.

But Jiang Jiaying’s comments were beyond my expectations.

Just then, at the moment the media pushed her into the storm, she stood up gracefully.

With a smile on her face, she took the microphone from the reporter and said composedly,

“Ladies and gentlemen, the reason I called you here today is to tell you a truth! And that truth is… Uncle Lin’s long-lost daughter has been found.”

As expected, with that announcement, the focus of everyone’s attention instantly shifted.

“What? Who is Uncle Lin’s biological daughter?”

Indeed, as a capital mogul like Lin Nansheng, he was a natural trendsetter and crowd-puller wherever he went.

Moreover, he had recently posted a message online looking for his biological daughter.

Many bloggers on the internet were guessing who this mysterious and lucky girl could be.

After all, becoming the daughter of a billionaire was as improbable as winning the lottery jackpot.

“Yes, who is it? Who exactly is Uncle Lin’s daughter?”

It seemed everyone had completely forgotten about Jiang Jiaying’s issue as the heated discussion surged on.

At that moment, Jiang Jiaying chose not to answer; she smiled and pointed at Lin Nansheng,

“I feel that such important news should be announced by Mr. Lin himself.”

The reporters turned their cameras toward Lin Nansheng once again.

“Director Lin, first of all, congratulations. Would you please reveal who this lucky treasure of a girl is?”

Lin Nansheng’s gaze slowly fell on me. He didn’t speak right away; he paused, then said slowly,

“Actually, she’s here today, at our table.”

His gaze was filled with such tenderness, it was like a beam of light enveloping me, warm and peaceful.

Just like the fatherly love I had longed for so much.

I was longing for family…

Like a child who had been walking in the dark for a long time, seeing a warm little house in the distance with the lights on.

Could it be me?

For a moment, my brain was deceived by illusions.

I almost forgot that such a thing was completely illogical… because I was no longer myself.

However, the next instant, that illusion was shattered.

Jiang Jiaying cut in directly,

“Alright, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. It’s me!”

“What? Miss Jiang?”

Jiang Jiaying’s statement not only woke up a group of reporters but also shocked me.

Although my current identity made it impossible for Lin Nansheng and I to recognize each other as father and daughter, I was clear in my heart that this daughter could not possibly be Jiang Jiaying.

My mother only had me; how could it possibly be Jiang Jiaying?

At the same time, the reporters also expressed their doubts.

“Is it really Miss Jiang?”

This persistent reporter asked Lin Nansheng directly.

Lin Nansheng stroked his chin and nodded with a smile in agreement.

Seeing Lin Nansheng’s reaction, I was even more stunned. If Jiang Jiaying was falsely claiming to be someone else out of ignorance, it would be her folly.

But Lin Nansheng was a composed person, so how could he engage in such a nonsensical farce with her?

Consequently, I asked Jiang Jiaying with a smile.

“Miss Jiang, if I’m not mistaken, you have your own biological parents! How come you suddenly claim a father, would your parents agree to it?”

“Yes, Miss Jiang, what exactly is going on?”

The reporters, carrying their cameras, all aimed at Jiang Jiaying.

Jiang Jiaying seemed to have anticipated this move, her expression calm,

“Regarding your question, I asked my parents too! They admitted it themselves, I was adopted. So, they are just my adoptive parents in name, not my birth parents.”

I was shocked…

Ha, what a blatant lie.

After a moment of thought, I then asked,

“That’s just your parents’ one-sided statement. After all, if you could gain an inheritance worth over a hundred billion just by recognizing a birth father, your birth parents might be willing to put on a show with you too.”

I always ruthlessly exposed Jiang Jiaying’s true colors, which infuriated her.

“What nonsense are you spouting? Are you deliberately slandering me? Song Xiaoyun, do you have a vendetta against me or what? You’ve been throwing mud at me all day long, you can’t stand to see me not getting upset, can you?”

“Ahem, this isn’t just my question, it’s also something other netizens are eagerly anticipating. If you have evidence, just show it openly.”

“Hmph, I actually do have evidence! Here, take a look!”

It was only then that Jiang Jiaying rummaged through her bag and pulled out a paper document, which she unfolded and displayed for the netizens in front of her.

“Look, this is a DNA test report, look closely at the names on it…”

I also took a serious look and sure enough, it was a DNA test report for Lin Nansheng and Jiang Jiaying, showing that they have a biological father-daughter relationship.

How could this be?

I picked up the report and examined it again meticulously.

It was evidence provided by a top-tier hospital, in normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be forged.

Moreover, with Lin Nansheng’s shrewdness, how could he have been deceived?

A thought suddenly struck my mind, remembering that a while ago when I went to the Song Family, Wu Lijuan mentioned Jiang Jiaying had visited once and taken away a wooden comb.

Thinking back, what Jiang Jiaying wanted wasn’t the comb, but the strands of hair that remained on it, which could be used for the DNA test.

How could this damn woman be so malicious?

But at the moment, I had no evidence to expose her.

At that point, a group of journalists with cameras started snapping away at Jiang Jiaying.

Standing in front of the cameras, Jiang Jiaying looked smug. She glanced at me,

“What more do you have to say now, you woman? You’ve been smearing and insulting me, isn’t it time you apologized to me?”

“Jiang Jiaying, if you really insist on an apology from me, then I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed, because you’re not worth it.”

“Fine, then tell me, how am I supposed to be disappointed?”

I just couldn’t continue with the party anymore.

The rest of the evening was Jiang Jiaying’s solo show.

Staying here would only mean being insulted by her.

So I stood up and said to Lin Nansheng,

“Uncle Lin, I have something else to do today, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Seeing that I wasn’t in a good state, Lin Nansheng said,

“Xiaoyun! Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, I’m fine!”

I looked at Lin Nansheng, hesitating to speak, but in the end, I turned and walked out.

However, Lin Nansheng seemed to notice my upset mood and left Jiang Jiaying to chase after me.

At the hotel entrance, he caught up with me,

“Xiaoyun! I can tell that you’re upset today. Did what Jiaying said make you uncomfortable?”

Indeed, he still cared about me. After thinking for a moment, I asked,

“Uncle Lin, what are your plans for dealing with Jiang Jiaying?”

Lin Nansheng sighed,

“I feel very sorry for letting her fend for herself out there for so many years. I will try my best to compensate her.”

“How do you plan to compensate her? Are you going to give her money?”

“I know giving money might sound a bit tacky, but it indeed can fulfill her needs. I’ve promised her already, on her birthday, I will give her ten billion as a birthday present.”

Looking at Lin Nansheng’s face full of guilt, I could guess that in the future he would definitely be greatly deceived by Jiang Jiaying.
