Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Whose Illegitimate Child Is It? (1)
“It wasn’t me who said this, it was DNA that told me this.” He Yizheng let out a raspy laugh, his eyes turning slightly red from excitement, “Actually, I didn’t quite believe it either, after all, I have called you big brother for more than twenty years.”
He Yirong took a deep breath then suddenly called a servant in a severe voice to take La Jiao away.
When it came to the He Family’s domestic secrets, of course, they could not let an outsider hear them.
“That’s impossible,” He Yirong calmed down, still repeating the same line, “Father clearly said you are his son! Could there be some mistake!”
“I wouldn’t be so sure,” the person who spoke was Liu Minjun, her voice very soft, “Yirong, your dad brought Yizheng home when we’d just been married for a short time, right. Tell me, what would happen if I knew you had an illegitimate child?”
He Yirong was instantly speechless. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelꞁire.net
Yes, when He Yizheng was brought home by the old master, he was just over one year old, and he and Liu Minjun had been married for less than three months. At that time, they hadn’t even become a real couple, with no emotional foundation to speak of.
Liu Minjun came from a scholarly family; although the Liu Family was not one of great wealth and power, they were not to be bullied. If he had an illegitimate child so soon after their marriage, the Liu Family would certainly not let the matter rest. Given Liu Minjun’s character, it was very likely that she would demand a divorce.
The old master couldn’t bear to leave He Yizheng out in the cold, nor did he want him to affect the relationship between He Yirong and Liu Minjun so he simply claimed that he was his illegitimate son. After all, his late wife had already passed away for many years, and this statement wouldn’t cause unrest in the family.
And for He Yirong, a younger brother still in swaddling clothes wouldn’t pose any threat to him—it was natural not to take him seriously.
Even more absolute, He Yizheng’s status as an illegitimate child eliminated any possibility of him inheriting the family business. His presence wouldn’t affect the children of He Yirong and Liu Minjun.
Thinking about this, He Yirong felt his mind become a mess.
He rubbed his temples, “I don’t believe it! I can’t believe it!”
“Right, maybe the first semen sample wasn’t yours but the old master’s,” He Yizheng nodded, “Nevertheless, just to be safe, I think we should go for a test to be sure, don’t you think? By the way, we should also do a test with Jingyao, since the third semen sample is not related by blood to the other two at all. Also, since Jingyao might not be your son, Ziyi might not necessarily be your daughter either, so I think it’s best you do a paternity test with Ziyi as well.”
“Nonsense! How could Jingyao not be my son! How could Ziyi not be my daughter!” He Yirong absolutely couldn’t accept it, “As for you…”
He panted heavily, unable to fathom that the person whom he had always considered his brother could possibly be his biological son.
He Yirong took a deep breath to calm himself down.
The living room became incredibly quiet for a while, as several people watched He Yirong, seemingly waiting for his decision.
He Jingyao suddenly laughed, “Father, with things having reached this point, you might as well get tested.”
“I…” He Yirong subconsciously glanced at Liu Minjun, “Minjun, you wouldn’t betray me, would you?”
Liu Minjun looked at him, her pale face void of any expression, “If I said I didn’t, would you believe me?”
He Yirong’s gaze flickered, and he pursed his lips without speaking.
