Chapter 1354: Chapter 1332: They Never Had a Relationship

Huo Zhenyang held her hand, neither lightly nor heavily, pulling her back into his embrace, squinting his eyes slightly: "Are you threatening me, darling?"

She quickly changed to a sweet and innocent face, mixed with flattery, rubbing his chest: "Okay, okay, just tell me, please."

He never responded to force nor softness in this life, but he couldn’t resist her coaxing. Finally, he looked toward Chu Xinyue and spoke: "Your heart surgery couldn’t be done all this time because the blood bank was scarce. Suddenly there’s a suitable and sufficient blood supply to proceed smoothly with the surgery, haven’t you ever doubted it?"

Chu Xinyue and Jiayi were both stunned.

Chu Xinyue didn’t speak for a long time, yet it felt as if lightning had struck in her heart.

Jiayi blurted out: "Are you saying Lan Yurou has the same blood type as Xinyue? Was Ya Chen with Lan Yurou because... her blood could be used for Xinyue’s surgery?"

Huo Zhenyang shrugged, leaving it unanswered.

Jiayi had suspected that Ya Chen’s kindness to Lan Yurou was a bit strange but didn’t expect it to be for this reason. She bit her lip slightly and glared at Huo Zhenyang, saying softly: "Why didn’t you say earlier? If you had, Xinyue wouldn’t have misunderstood Ya Chen for so long."

What a little grandma! Even after telling her, she still glared at him.

Huo Zhenyang helplessly yet indulgently wrapped her in his arms, murmuring low: "Could this matter be spoken about? Besides Doctor Han, Ya Chen hasn’t told anyone else, and I guess he’s never going to tell Xinyue."

Jiayi came to her senses and understood that this was, after all, an illegal purchase of a life for Xinyue, and if people found out, the consequences would be significant.

Only Ya Chen knew, meaning it was his responsibility alone.

If the truth came out, it wouldn’t implicate Chu Xinyue.

Furthermore, would Xinyue accept living by another’s blood if she knew?

Or, would she find peace of mind?

For these reasons, Ya Chen told no one, including Xinyue.

Meanwhile, Xinyue had misunderstood that Lan Yurou had been kept by Ya Chen for two years, which had been a thorn between them.

Huo Zhenyang said blandly:

"After the surgery, I privately asked Ya Chen. It’s said that because of a stress-induced miscarriage after the blood transfusion, Lan Yurou suffered severe blood loss causing brain hypoxia and was in a long-term coma, arranged to be with Doctor Han. Unexpectedly, she survived and woke up two months ago.

He paused, then continued: "It’s said after she woke up, she received a hush money from Ya Qianhuai. The Ya Family requested her to change her name and leave Nanga; I guess Ya Qianhuai worried that letting her stay would prolong the risk of exposing what Ya Chen had done, so they simply sent her abroad. The Ya Family being Royalty, how would Lan Yurou dare refuse? She took the hush money and left, probably why she’s now trying to develop in China. However, China isn’t Nanga, and the entertainment industry here doesn’t belong to her—plus, starting over from scratch means in China’s entertainment world, she’s just a small fry, having to start by playing bit parts. To be honest, even getting bit roles is not bad; getting into such a large cast, even if just a bit part, likely means she did some ’work’ on the crew’s higher-ups."

Jiayi suddenly realized, understanding the implication in Huo Zhenyang’s words.

It’s likely that Lan Yurou had sold herself to someone in the production crew to get a role.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn’t even have gotten such a bit role.

Hmph, she never changes, using improper means to climb up no matter where she is!

However, judging by Lan Yurou’s situation, it’s unlikely she’ll make any waves again. Over in S Country, the Ya Family won’t allow her back, and in China’s entertainment industry, with a rich pool of talent well-rooted locally, her ambition to achieve a similar status as she had in Nanga is almost impossible.

Chu Xinyue remained silent, just quietly listening, only speaking a word of farewell after Huo Zhenyang finished, then turning to leave.

She hailed a cab, got in, and suddenly took out her phone, dialing a number.

The phone rang for a while before someone picked up—a woman’s voice came through, middle-aged.

"Is this Mrs. Yin?"

Indeed, it was the nanny hired by Ya Chen to take care of Lan Yurou for two years.

Mrs. Yin was surprised to receive a call from Chu Xinyue, stunned for a moment before saying: "You, you’re the Princess Consort? Is there something you need?"

Suppressing her unsteady heartbeat, Chu Xinyue made her voice sound as natural and calm as possible: "I want to know if His Highness and Lan Yurou have ever... been together?"

Even though she already knew Ya Chen had kept Lan Yurou for the blood supply, whether they had an intimate relationship was still like a thorn piercing her heart. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

She wanted to know. Mrs. Yin had cared for Lan Yurou closely for two years and should have the answers she needed.

Of course, Mrs. Yin understood what Chu Xinyue meant by "been together," questioning whether Lan Yurou and Ya Chen had ever had a relationship.

Taking a deep breath, she felt a little awkward but still replied truthfully:

"In those two years, whenever the Prince came to Miss Lan’s villa, he never stayed long, even if Miss Lan tried everything to make him stay, the Prince never even went to her upstairs bedroom. I can vouch that they never had a relationship."

A large cloud seemed to dissipate bit by bit in Chu Xinyue’s heart, but she frowned: "But wasn’t Lan Yurou pregnant?"

Mrs. Yin immediately lowered her voice: "Did the Princess Consort not know? That child never belonged to the Prince."

She paused.

Mrs. Yin continued: "Oh right, I’ve heard that the Princess Consort has been out of the country lately, so it’s normal not to know. That child, Miss Lan conceived during a one-night stand; that man bragged everywhere about it, proud beyond measure, saying he slept with a big star, and it blew up in the media. Who in Nanga doesn’t know now?... Miss Lan was just trying to use a scandalous night to cling to the Ya Family."

Chu Xinyue understood everything.

She hung up, still lost in her thoughts, unable to recover for a long while.

Until her phone rang, Sister Xu called: "Xinyue, a document from the morning interview was left on the set. Are you outside? If so, could you retrieve it?"

Chu Xinyue snapped back to reality: "Okay."

Informing the driver, the car changed direction, heading to the set.

With her press pass, Chu Xinyue entered the filming set smoothly and retrieved the items Sister Xu had left behind.

As she was about to leave, she passed by a makeup room for actors.

The door was open, giving her a clear view of several supporting roles and extras taking a break.

Among them was Lan Yurou.

Chu Xinyue stopped in her tracks.

Lan Yurou was fixing her makeup, and the coarse cosmetics made her somewhat irritable—the more she applied, the more agitated she became, eventually throwing the makeup powder puff aside in frustration, sulking at the mirror.

Back in the Nanga entertainment industry, she had a private dressing room, personal stylists to assist her, and had celebrity attendants tending to her needs, constantly serving tea, offering snacks, and fanning her...

How is that remotely what she’s experiencing now? No air conditioning in the makeup room? Crowded with a bunch of extras?

The more she pondered, the more contorted Lan Yurou’s expression of anger became.
