The guests were all puzzled by her sudden laughter.

In such an inauspicious situation, she could still laugh? What on earth was so funny?

"What are you laughing at?" Yiren asked furiously, her voice tinged with anger as if she herself were a joke in the other’s eyes, which was a sarcastic mockery.

"I’m laughing at how ridiculous you are."

"What’s so ridiculous about me?"

"I’m two years younger than you, which at least proves that I was born more than two years after your mother and father divorced. When my mother was with my father, he was already divorced. Even if they were dating, that would be normal, with nothing to object to, but you slander my mother as the ’other woman.’ Are you having an issue with your IQ?"

Ye Lu gave an even more sarcastic look.

"Also, don’t hastily blame others for your mother’s divorce. Divorced after just five months of marriage, you should go back and ask your mother what she did that made a man so angry that he divorced her without mercy after only five months."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Yiren’s pretty face darkened with rage, and her eyes were filled with fury. "Are you implying that my mother did something disgraceful, and that’s why my father abandoned her?"

Ye Lu shrugged her shoulders: "I didn’t say anything, not like you, who slanders people without any evidence."

Yiren’s gaze turned as dark as water, staring at Ye Lu in front of her, her heart seething with anger. Claiming to say nothing, yet between the lines, wasn’t this all implying that her own mother had indeed done something disgraceful?

This contemptible person, her pretentious ways are indeed formidable.

"Oh, right." Ye Lu looked around curiously, feigning surprise, "Why hasn’t your foster father Mr. Ivan shown up? I have heard that your mother has quite a close relationship with him; however, it must be because of you, the foster daughter, that they grew so close, becoming friends. After all, Mr. Ivan has a wife, so how could your mother possibly become his lover? I’ve always heard Mr. Ivan is quite stern, yet he takes such good ’care’ of you and your mother. How fortunate you both are to receive such ’care’ from him."

This time Yiren was truly trembling with anger.

Ye Lu, this despicable person, verbally claimed her mother wouldn’t become a lover and that she and Ivanov were close friends. Yet, every single sentence implied her mother was indeed Ivanov’s lover, and that’s why he cared so much for them.

And what made it worse was the fact that her mother actually was Ivanov’s semi-public mistress.

Thus, wanting to curse out Ye Lu, she lacked the confidence and had to desperately hold back her rage from erupting.

The assembled guests, upon hearing the sisters’ veiled confrontation, couldn’t help but find it absurd yet enlightening, realizing the Huas’ affairs were fraught with intrigue. It seemed Yiren wasn’t exactly the rightful heir apparent after all!

Moreover, her mother’s relationship with the arms dealer Ivanov, ha, such lascivious entanglements weren’t anything new in high society.

This woman, trying to secure a rightful place, is now on the receiving end of a backlash, exposing quite a few embarrassing details. It looks like this seemingly gentle pregnant heiress is no ordinary character; articulate and composed, she can hold her ground and strike back, indeed those who can become heirs of the Hua family are extraordinary.

"Alright, enough, both of you stop arguing." Hua Yueqi timely intervened to halt the squabble between the sisters, his face turning stern.
