Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Unmasking Lies_1 Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Unmasking Lies_1 Bo Jingyan sat expressionless at his desk, “Have we found out the reason for the villa fire?”

“Yes, we found traces of gasoline at the scene, someone deliberately started the fire.”

“Someone deliberately started the fire?” Bo Jingyan tapped his index finger lightly on the table, squinting his eyes in interest.

It seems like Chen Momo’s escape from the villa was no accident, someone had helped her!

He was somewhat curious about who would help her.

“You can go and take the punishment yourself!” Bo Jingyan waved his hand at the bodyguard captain before dismissing him.

Then he took out his phone and made a call, “Jian Xuan, can you help me investigate something…”

…

That day.

Xia Qingtian went to visit the elder Bo in the old house and heard him casually mention that he wanted a wife cake from an old, traditional bakery.

She quietly kept this in mind.

The next day, she decided to go buy it to surprise elder Bo.

The bakery was crowded with people though and it was sold out before she got to the front of the line.

Xia Qingtian sighed and decided to come back earlier the next day.

Just as she took out her cell phone to call a car and leave, someone bumped into her and tried to snatch her phone and bag. She was pulled off balance and almost fell, she managed to keep her belongings but lost her balance.

“Look out…”

Luckily someone behind her quickly steadied her, saving her from a fall.

Xia Qingtian subconsciously touched her bulging belly. Her heart was beating fast in fear. She thought about how if the kind stranger hadn’t pulled her back, she would have fallen to the ground and put the baby in danger.

She steadied herself and when she turned around to thank the person, she recognized him.

The one who helped her was Shen Yaxuan!

“Qingtian, we really are fated. This must be what they call destined to meet despite being miles apart.” Shen Yaxuan came for the old town renovation project today without expecting to meet Xia Qingtian. It made his day.

Xia Qingtian responded to his jokes with a cold face.

“Thanks for just now.” After she said that, she turned to leave.

Sensing her coldness, Shen Yaxuan looked surprised.

“Qingtian, where are you going, let me take you.” He was still in a wheelchair, so he quickly chased after her, “This is the old town, it’s definitely not a safe place for you to stroll alone.”

A flicker of annoyance flashed in Xia Qingtian’s eyes, “I don’t need your help, can you please stop following me.”

“What’s wrong? Is it because you are upset? Did someone upset you? Tell me who it is, I will help you vent your anger.” As Shen Yaxuan said this, his eyes flashed sharply.

Xia Qingtian’s face was unmoved, “Nobody’s upset me. I just plain don’t want to see you. That’s all.”

Shen Yaxuan didn’t understand, since the last time he was in the hospital, their relationship had improved significantly.

She had suddenly become aloof, what exactly had happened?

Possibly…

Xia Qingtian ignored him and just walked away.

Watching the cold retreating figure, Shen Yaxuan thought it was necessary to figure out what happened. He could then come up with a solution.

But he sat in a wheelchair and couldn’t catch up with her.

In a joking tone, he said to Xia Qingtian who was getting further away, “Qingtian, after all, I saved your life. This isn’t a nice way to treat your savior. Be careful, or I might ask for your hand in marriage as a recompense!”

Upon hearing his words, Xia Qingtian slowed her steps.

She was indeed appreciative of Shen Yaxuan’s help, and she wanted to leave some room for the two of them to save face.

But hearing him say that, she decided she wasn’t going to play nice anymore.

Since Shen Yaxuan wanted to know why she became suddenly cold towards him, she decided to tell him.

“Do you really want to know why I’m angry with you?” Xia Qingtian turned around and walked up to him, looking down at him from higher ground, her voice was coldly inquisitive.

She felt Shen Yaxuan’s expression was a bit off but still nodded, “Of course!”

Even if he were going to die, he wanted to die knowing the reason.

“Fine.” Xia Qingtian pointed at her belly, “Then I’ll ask you, who is the father of the child in my belly!”

“It’s mine! Didn’t you know that already?” Shen Yaxuan looked unaffected.

“How long do you want to keep lying? I now know the truth, the child in my belly isn’t yours, it’s Bo Jingyan’s.”

Xia Qingtian laughed coldly, “The man who was with me in the Imperial Hotel presidential suite that night wasn’t you, it was Bo Jingyan!!!”

“You…” Shen Yaxuan reflexively wanted to refute her claim.

But Xia Qingtian didn’t give him the chance, she straightforwardly told him, “I have had DNA paternity tests done on you and Jingyan and compared them with my unborn child.”

Shen Yaxuan instantly remembered the instance when she plucked a white hair from his head at the hospital.

Her objective was never about plucking his white hair, but rather to have his hair for the DNA paternity test.

Seeing Shen Yaxuan not uttering a word, Xia Qingtian interrogated, “Wasn’t it you and Chen Momo who switched the DNA test results?”

Shen Yaxuan realized she had found out the truth and decided to reveal all.

“Yes!” He admitted it with a rather husky voice.

“In my back, you and Chen Momo schemed against me. Even after all that, you have the audacity to pretend like nothing had happened.”

Xia Qingtian looked at him with scorn.

“I am starting to suspect that you ‘saving’ me was a ploy hatched between you and Chen Momo, another strategy to harm me.”

Shen Yaxuan looked bitter, he didn’t want the woman he liked to misunderstand that he was trying to harm her.

“Qingtian…” He sounded a little pained, “I admit, I did hide a lot from you, I did help Chen Momo a lot. But I never wanted to harm you.”

“I’ve betrayed many people, I owe them all, but the only one person I’ve never wronged is you.”

“Ha-ha-ha…” Xia Qingtian found his words hilarious, “So, pretending to be Bo Jingyan, pretending to be the father of my child, that was for my good?”

“Yes, because I knew you weren’t happy or living a good life with Jingyan, so I wanted to separate you two, only then could you obtain freedom and true happiness.”

Shen Yaxuan stubbornly looked in her eyes, “For this, I betrayed my best friend, and I did it without hesitation.”
