Chapter 524: Chapter 524: The President’s Daughter
Su Zixi pursed her lips.
Although she really wanted to know who her biological parents were, the label “the President’s illegitimate daughter” didn’t seem all that pleasant either.
Could it really be true?
Su Zixi lay on the bed and let out a deep sigh.
She rembered her previous encounters with the President’s wife; indeed, the First Lady’s kindness and gentleness had always seed genuine, so she had co to believe the news.
Yet, Su Zixi’s heart was still sowhat conflicted.
After what seed like an eternity, a knocking sound ca from outside her room.
Su Zixi jumped off the bed to open the door and saw Li Bo standing outside, smiling, “Young Mistress, you must watch the live broadcast on the Capital Channel.”
“What?” Su Zixi was startled.
“President and the First Lady are holding a press conference to clarify and explain today’s news,” said Li Bo with a smile, “The young master specifically reminded to have you watch it.”
Su Zixi nodded in a daze and followed Li Bo downstairs to the living room.
On the TV appeared the face of President Cheng Youlin with Chu Jinyu by his side, holding hands. Her eyes slightly reddened but her face carried a gratified smile.
“… I deeply appreciate everyone’s concern. I know you’re all saddened that my wife and I don’t have children, but in fact, twenty years ago, we did have a child. There was an accident, and that child was lost,” Cheng Youlin said in a tone both somber and complex, “During that tumultuous year in politics, by a twist of fate, we lost track of that child, but not long ago, we finally found her whereabouts—yes, just like the online rumors, she grew up in Yanzhou City, beca a beautiful and gentle lady, and married a remarkable young man. They are very happy, and both my wife and I are delighted.”
At this point, he and Chu Jinyu exchanged a glance.
“Out of protection for this child, we will not publicize her identity,” Chu Jinyu continued, “We also ask the dia to stop their investigations. When the right ti cos, we will arrange for her to et the public, but that is not now. I believe she needs so ti to adjust.”
Seeing this, Su Zixi was utterly dumbfounded.
In the cara’s view, the presidential couple bid farewell together, looking imnsely happy and content.
She turned to look at Li Bo, and after a while, she found her voice, “Li Bo, do you know what’s going on?”
“That’s not important,” Li Bo smiled, “What’s important is that from now on, you’ll be the President’s daughter.”
Su Zixi felt bewildered once again.
She… wasn’t she an illegitimate child? Why did the President acknowledge her so readily?
…
On the other side, Chu Jinyu, having just left the news conference site, was even more bewildered than Su Zixi.
Even though she had faced the dia with flawless composure just monts ago, in reality, she still didn’t understand what was happening.
Cheng Youlin beside her had already put away his earlier smile, silent and reserved.
Finally, Chu Jinyu couldn’t help but stop, “Youlin, why is this?”
Cheng Youlin looked at her and sighed deeply, “This is the most permanent solution. Letting this news continue to fernt does no good; I might as well acknowledge her openly. I cannot let the public think I’ve been cuckolded, can I?”
“But…”
“But the child is not biologically related to ; is that what you want to say?” Cheng Youlin looked at her flatly.
