My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1019: I Know Who Hurt You
Many in attendance had already started whispering among themselves, their gazes flickering towards Third Young Master Jun and Yiren, speculating whether the successor of the Hua family had taken a fancy to Third Young Master Jun.
Other young talents felt stifled and rueful, realizing they couldn’t compare with Third Young Master Jun, who, after all, was a scion of the Jun Group.
The female guests looked at Ye Lu with sympathetic eyes, then at her belly, and shook their heads in secret, thinking that having a child changed nothing; she couldn’t marry into a rich family, after all. Anyone could see that Hua Yiren was both beautiful and powerful. With her lacking social status, any man would know who to choose, as either choice carried its benefits.
Pitiful indeed!
"Old Madam, I’d like to use the restroom," Ye Lu said coolly, ignoring the various peculiar gazes around her as she walked out of the banquet hall.
Gu Yan’s eyes flashed.
Once outside, Ye Lu took out her phone and called Hua Lunxi to ask how the investigation into Yiren was going.
"I personally went to the place of her birth and found the doctor who delivered her. The date of her birth hasn’t been falsified. According to this date, her mother was pregnant during her marriage to your uncle. I’m afraid..." Hua Lunxi’s voice was grave, "she indeed is your uncle’s child, your sister."
Ye Lu’s heart jolted, and her complexion turned even paler.
It was the ultimate irony.
Yiren turned out to be her sister, and now this so-called sister was not only trying to usurp her position but also to steal her man. Most importantly, it was all legitimate.
"So she’s indeed the rightful heir to the Hua family?" Ye Lu asked.
Hua Lunxi consoled, "In name, yes, but one important thing is, your uncle acknowledged you. It’s just that he didn’t directly lay out in his will that it was you, which is a bit troublesome."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Lu felt a profound sense of emptiness inside.
The future seemed shrouded in mist, unclear, which left her feeling bleak and vast.
Just as she stepped out of the restroom, intending to return to the banquet, her eyes held a calm and resolved expression.
What had to be faced, would be faced. If she were to be abandoned once more, then so be it. Henceforth, she’d be heartless and loveless, never to love anyone again, relying only on herself, solely focused on taking back everything that belonged to her. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Just as she arrived at the entrance of the banquet, she was stopped by an unexpected person.
She immediately took two steps back with wariness, glaring at the man before her.
"Jun Shi, what are you doing?" She caught sight of a bodyguard standing not far from the door, which made her feel slightly reassured.
Jun Shi, that old bastard, probably wouldn’t dare to do anything to her in such an open setting.
"Relax, I didn’t come to hurt you today. Instead, I have some kind-hearted advice for you," Jun Shi said with a sinister look in his eyes and a strange smile on his face.
"I’m not interested in anything you have to say. Step aside," Ye Lu said as she moved past him.
"Seven years ago, when you married Gu Yan, someone raped you. Don’t you want to know who?" Jun Shi turned his head, his tone brimming with confidence.
Ye Lu froze in her tracks, her body trembling, she turned around in shock and rage, her eyes piercing him like daggers, she demanded in a sharp voice, "What did you say?"
The turmoil inside her was indescribable; how could Jun Shi know about the incident from seven years ago?
What else did he know?
Her heart filled with shock and horror; a turmoil of emotions flashed in her eyes, her fingers clenched tightly as she struggled to calm her thoughts.
Seeing her undisguised panic, Jun Shi felt even more triumphant, his voice sounding more sinister, "I’m saying, I know who raped you that night, who fathered your child, causing you seven years of humiliation and pain. I know who the culprit is."
