Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42: 040 Sowing Discord

In the living room, as soon as Fang Mengyao's words slipped out, both Fang Jintang and Fang Yuyang shouted angrily at the same time, instantly tightening the atmosphere. Meanwhile, upstairs, the mood between Fang Yuxin and Qiu Yiming was also less than harmonious.

Fang Yuxin and Bai Qianqian's bedroom were on the third floor. Bai Qianqian wanted to be close to Fang Yuxin, so their bedrooms were right next to each other. Fang Yuxin took Bai Qianqian back to her room to coax him to sleep when Qiu Yiming knocked on the door and said from outside, "Xinxin, there's something I want to talk to you about."

Fang Yuxin asked Bai Qianqian to stay in the room, then opened the door and went out. She did not take Qiu Yiming to her room, but led him to the rooftop instead. Although the rooftop was full of vegetable plants, there was also a tea table and leisure chairs available, making it an ideal place for conversation.

However, as soon as she stepped out, Bai Qianqian's eyes darted around. He quietly opened the door and followed them.

No sooner had they sat down than Qiu Yiming asked eagerly, "Xinxin, what's the deal with that child... I don't remember you having a child." The last sentence was deliberately added to suggest to Fang Yuxin not to lie to him.

Fang Yuxin no longer had any feelings for him, but she also didn't want to lie about such matters. She said, "I only found out recently that I have a son this big. He suddenly appeared in front of me, hugging me and calling me Mom. I thought he recognized the wrong person but after a DNA test, I found out that he actually is my son. It's really too coincidental, probably the work of fate, I guess."

Qiu Yiming keenly sensed a touch of melancholy in her voice and felt uneasy. He could not help but become somewhat irritated as he asked, "Xinxin, what do you mean by that?"

Fang Yuxin shook her head but did not answer directly. Instead, she said, "When I was in college, I once volunteered at a pharmaceutical company. It must have been around that time that I was covertly inseminated, and my eggs were stolen. I still don't know who the father of the child is, but I really like this child. With such a big event happening now and the entire world in chaos, it's still unknown how dangerous it is outside, so I've decided to keep this child."

Qiu Yiming's face changed instantly, realizing that Fang Yuxin's gaze was one of disapproval. Sensing that his attitude might be incorrect, he tried to soften his expression and advised, "Xinxin, you've always been smart. You also mentioned just now that the child's appearance was too coincidental. Haven't you ever suspected anything?"

"What do you mean by that?" asked Fang Yuxin, her gaze sharply piercing him, an air of intimidation rarely exhibited by her, "Yiming, are you suggesting that this child intentionally appeared before me?"

Qiu Yiming knew Fang Yuxin was angry, but thinking of Bai Ye, he nodded. He didn't want Fang Yuxin to get involved with Bai Ye over some mysterious child and said, "Xinxin, you must have suspected it too, the child's arrival is too suspicious. How could such a small child suddenly appear before you? Who has been raising him all these years? And who is behind him? Don't forget that the Fang Family is one of the top names in Market, and there's no telling how many people want to scheme against the Fang Family every day."

Fang Yuxin knew that Qiu Yiming was making sense, and in fact, she had been very wary of Bai Qianqian at the beginning, as well as the man who had appeared in her bedroom, who was clearly no saint himself. But now that the apocalypse had come, the Fang Family was a thing of the past; in an apocalypse, only strength could prove everything. Besides, she could feel Bai Qianqian's sincerity towards her!
