My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 956: It Hurt Her
No sooner had the words been spoken than a middle-aged man, appearing to be in his fifties, with a dignified demeanor, appeared in the Ivanov family’s third-floor private room.
Sitting in the back, Hua Lunxi was utterly astonished and exclaimed, "Dad, what are you doing here?"
Hua Yueqi, Hua Lunxi’s father, glanced at him indifferently. His gaze was stern and filled with a kind of oppressive force, as if warning him subtly. Hua Lunxi felt an inexplicable suffocation in his chest.
Hua Yueqi walked out coldly, and Yiren approached to stand by his side.
Ye Lu was stunned, her pupils suddenly dilating. Although she had never met this man, she had heard Hua Lunxi introduce him and had seen his photographs, knowing he was her father’s brother, her uncle.
She had heard Hua Lunxi say that her uncle cared about her too, but unfortunately, her identity couldn’t be revealed yet, so they could not meet, which was a great pity.
She had always held a special expectation for this relative, as he was not only her brother’s father but was akin to her own father. She had hoped dearly for her uncle’s affection.
But why was he here?
He must know that she was the real daughter of her father. Was he here to prove her identity and expose Yiren?
"Ladies and gentlemen, although it’s not quite appropriate to disclose the heir of the Hua family in such a setting, since someone dares to impersonate the Hua family’s heir, as the head of the Hua family, I have no choice but to come out and confirm the true heir’s identity," he declared.
His voice was sonorous, grave, and filled with authority, silencing the entire room.
Everyone held their breath, listening intently to his final announcement. With his acknowledgment, everyone would recognize who was the real daughter of the Hua family, the secret controller of the family.
"After various identity checks and DNA verification..." Hua Yueqi’s gaze swept across the room with an intense gravity, "Yiren is indeed my brother’s daughter. Therefore, I hereby announce that Hua Yiren is the heir of our Hua family!"
His last words, earth-shattering, finally settled a secret about a birthright that had shocked the world.
Ye Lu’s face turned pale, her breathing halted, and she stumbled backwards two steps.
Her heart tightened, her eyes widened in shock, unbelieving as she stared at her uncle Hua Yueqi. What was he saying? No, it was supposed to be her, the actual daughter of her father, why would he say such a thing?
Why had her uncle declared Yiren as the heir to the Hua family? Had he gone mad?
She was completely dumbfounded, filled with an intense disbelief and a sudden surge of heartache.
She didn’t understand what had happened, the whole event was so sudden, but she knew that at this moment... her heart ached even more. She had been abandoned, stripped of her only identity by the family she trusted!
Her eyes blurred instantly, yet she forcefully held back her tears, showing no outward signs of distress.
Because she knew, Yiren certainly wouldn’t let her off easily.
To sit securely as the heir, she would undoubtedly have to remove her completely.
Ye Lu raised her head to see Yiren’s delicate and jade-like face on the third floor, now suddenly radiating a triumphant glow, looking even more enchanting, proud, and beautiful.
Ivanov also revealed a sly, fox-like grin.
Their smug expressions of victory pained her, as they had taken what belonged to her.
She clenched her fists; how could she accept that this sudden, unknown woman had snatched away her place? And Hua Lunxi, this brother who had found her.
He had always cared for her, helped her grow, taught her all kinds of knowledge, the only brother who had acknowledged her identity. She just had to find Hua Lunxi, to rescue Hua Lunxi.
