Chapter 289 -289: Do Another Paternity Test

Ye Chuyi was struck by his accurate pinpointing of her most evident weakness.

Now she understood why the Ye Family had become the third ranked Wealthy Family.

Ye Zhengrong might have an attractive and non-aggressive face, but his temperament was like a sharp sword, revealing its edge as soon as he spoke.

He was decisive and domineering, setting a firm course toward any goal he chose, and would unwaveringly pursue it, even if the goal was wrong. He never doubted himself but used his strong conviction to ensure the outcome was right.

It was said that his elder brother, Ye Canghai, was even more composed and rational and also more visionary.

Hence, under their leadership, the Ye Family grew even more powerful.

Ye Chuyi couldn’t help but think of Lady Wen, a daughter of the Ye Family and the younger sister of the two brothers. Her personality was entirely different from theirs.

If Lady Wen had a personality like her brothers, she probably wouldn’t have married Wen Xingye and might be living a much better life now!

While she was thinking these things, the Ye Family of four started arguing again.

Madam Ye and her daughter were on one side, determined to have her daughter marry Sheng Tingyuan, while Ye Zhengrong and his son were on the other side, firmly opposing the daughter’s marriage to Sheng Tingyuan. What’s more, he demanded that Ye Shuangyin should not appear in front of Sheng Tingyuan or other people from the Sheng Family in the future.

Ye Shuangyin broke down and cried hysterically, “These past three years outside were hellish, I barely escaped with my life. I thought after returning home, I wouldn’t have to suffer anymore. Yet now, I’m not even comparable to a mere substitute!”

“Dad, weren’t you the one who loved me the most? I thought you’d be happy when I returned. I did not expect that you don’t want to see me at all, you only care about this substitute!”

“Since she looks so much like you, did you have her with another woman behind my mom’s back? Did you do something unforgivable to my mom and then pretended it was all for the family’s reputation, when in reality, you were seeking benefits for your illegitimate daughter so she could usurp my place? Is that why you’re dead set against me marrying Sheng Tingyuan?”

Ye Zhengrong was furious, “What nonsense are you spouting! I have never been unfaithful to your mother!”

“Then why are you so supportive of an outsider?!”

“Which of your eyes saw me being supportive of her? I did it for the Ye Family, that’s why I let her continue playing the role! If you hadn’t run away from the wedding that year, would we have all these troubling matters? If I truly had another daughter, would I have had to beg you so earnestly to marry Sheng Tingyuan three years ago?”

As Ye Zhengrong spoke, he pulled out a few strands of his own hair, “Ziran, go test these again! This time, publish the test results to show them! I refuse to be unjustly branded as a cheater with an illegitimate daughter!”

Ye Ziran stepped forward to take his father’s hair, wrapping it with a tissue, his doubts deepening.

His father was so confident in giving him the hair, displaying an irreproachable front. Could it be that Ye Chuyi genuinely was not his daughter?

After all, Ye Zhengrong had indeed been impeccably upright all these years. Or perhaps, he simply wasn’t that interested in women; he devoted nearly all of his energy and passion to his career.

Despite his extraordinarily handsome face, countless women had thrown themselves at him over the years, yet there had never been a whiff of scandal about him.

Ye Ziran looked down at the two sets of hair in his hands, beginning to doubt the test results provided by his classmate once more.

In this world, there indeed are people who look strikingly alike, yet not everyone is related by blood.

This won’t do, he thought, this time the testing must be done by a professional agency!

Ye Chuyi was indifferent to their DNA test; her purpose for coming here had not been fulfilled, “Second Master Ye, my decision remains unchanged, I still hope to reveal the truth to Sheng Tingyuan as soon as possible.”

Ye Zhengrong replied, “My decision hasn’t changed either. I’ve already taken you as my adopted daughter, you are now a daughter of the Ye Family. Since you are a Ye Family daughter, it is unreasonable to replace you with another. Changing daughters midstream will only turn the alliance between the Sheng Ye Families into enmity.”
