My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 974: The Country and the Beauty

Hua Lunxi couldn’t understand his father’s actions.

At first, he thought his father was just worried that he would be controlled by Ivan and his daughter, and feared that revealing Ye Lu’s identity in public would cause all the families related to the secret to turn their spears on Ye Lu. And yet, Ye Lu was pregnant, confirming her Hua family identity at such a critical moment would definitely bring great danger.

But since the auction, his father’s behavior seemed to genuinely treat Yiren as a niece.

This really confused him.

"Take a look at this yourself," Hua Yueqi said with a stern face.

With a frown, Hua Lunxi picked it up and was shocked, then his gaze darkened, "Although a DNA test is the best method for identification, with the advancements in technology nowadays, it’s not impossible that they tampered with it, forging the results. I think this can’t absolutely prove that she is truly my uncle’s daughter."

"I know you care a lot for Ye Lu, but you shouldn’t deny Yiren’s existence. Your statement is a bit too cruel," Hua Yueqi obviously disapproved.

Displaying a hint of scorn, Hua Lunxi persisted, "Ye Lu has a clear origin, and my uncle’s regrets before his death, as well as his recollections of the past, all correspond with Yan Yu and her daughter Ye Lu. On the other hand, this Yiren has an unclear background, suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and uses such extreme measures to snatch the Hua family’s possessions, threatening me with tactics that clearly show her immense ambition and ruthless nature."

How could such a woman be the daughter of the Hua family? Hua Lunxi’s impression of Yiren was not favorable; he saw her as a woman who would unscrupulously climb to the top by any means necessary.

Such a woman must surely be an impostor.

"Lunxi, you are too biased towards Ye Lu. Yiren’s methods are indeed harsh, but the heirs of great families, if not ruthless, how can they lead the entire family’s revival? These tactics are nothing compared to what your uncle had done in the past. I want to ask, if Yiren really is your sister, what will you do?"

"Impossible," Hua Lunxi flatly denied, not taking Yiren seriously at all.

Hua Yueqi said nothing, merely tossing him an investigative report.

"Who is this woman?" Hua Lunxi puzzled over the report, eyeing a woman in her forties or fifties who bore a resemblance to Yiren. She was beautiful but had a hint of gloominess between her brows. He had a foreboding feeling—could this be his uncle’s former lover?

A jewel lost in the vast ocean?

"You are young, and there were things you did not know back then. In fact, your uncle once had a brief marriage, and this woman, nominally, is your aunt!"

"What?" Hua Lunxi was utterly shocked.

"It’s when I was investigating her background and traced it to her mother that everything suddenly clicked. Therefore, there’s a ninety-nine percent chance that Yiren is indeed our Hua family’s child," Hua Yueqi explained, seeing his shock and reluctance to accept.

"Moreover, by rights, she is the legitimate heir to the Hua family. Ye Lu is just an illegitimate daughter!" Hua Yueqi dropped another bombshell.

...

Third Young Master Jun recuperated at Ilid’s villa for a full half month, which was the most leisurely and happiest time in his life.

With Ye Lu’s meticulous care, the company of two adorable babies, and the occasional visits from Ilid who came to mock his injuries, only to be chased out without mercy, life was blissful.

Such days were too happy, almost like a dream, making one not want to leave at all.

But the sudden arrival of his godfather, Su Feiman, forced him back to reality.

"I’ve come this time to ask you one question," his godfather sat on an Arabian-styled chair, his gaze sharp and cold, "Between the country and the beauty, which will you choose?"
