nOld Madam Lu and Lu Qingzhuo looked at each other. For a moment, they had no idea what to do.
nTaking He Shouxin as an adopted son, or temporarily letting He Youran contract a marriage with him, all of these were time-limited. But, once they really entered the family tree, it would be a done deal.
nWith the Lu family’s ability, it wasn’t difficult to get a fake paternity test. But, wouldn’t this be too unfair for He Youran and her son?
n“I need to talk to Youran.” Since he had no idea what to do, Lu Qingzhuo had no choice but to speak up.
n“Do you still need to talk about this?” He Yaoxing sneered, “The Lu family is the second most powerful family in the imperial capital. Becoming Mrs. Lu is something that many women don’t even dare to think about. Now, a huge pie is placed in front of He Youran, but she doesn’t dare to eat it?”
nHer words weren’t polite at all, making Lu Qingzhuo even more frustrated. But, they were currently at a disadvantage, so it wasn’t good for them to go head-to-head with the He family.
n“Or… is what Grandma said not true? He Youran is not your woman, and He Shouxin is not your son. The Lu family is just using him as an excuse to break off the engagement, isn’t that right?”
nHe Yaobai and He Yaoxing had thought of this possibility before.
nHowever, He Youran was too vigilant. Before they got to this point, they had thought of many ways to get He Shouxin’s DNA, but the people they sent out were always unsuccessful. It was even more difficult to get Lu Qingzhuo’s DNA. Ever since his accident, Lu Mingyou, that old Fogey, looked at him like he was her eyeball. It was not that easy to get close to her precious grandson.
nIf…
nHe Shouxin was really not Lu Qingzhuo’s son. He only promised He Youran and her son a huge benefit and asked them to cooperate with the act…
nHe Yaoxing looked at He Yaobai again.
nHe Yaobai was a shrewd person, so of course he understood what she meant.
nThe two of them waited calmly for old madam Lu and Lu Qingzhuo’s reply.
n“Three days.”
nLu Qingzhuo thought for a moment and made a decision.
nHe looked at He Yaobai and slowly said,
n“Even if you do a paternity test, you won’t be able to get it immediately. Give me three days, and I’ll give you a satisfactory answer.”
nHe had made up his mind.
nHe wanted to respect He Youran.
nWithout him, He Youran could still be an ordinary person. Be it a doctor or some other identity, at least for the rest of her life, she wouldn’t have to live in a world of intrigue and fear, worrying about whether there was a tomorrow or not.
nHe Shouxin was the same. He was still young. Although he had leukemia, it wasn’t impossible. His future was still so long. He could not bear to let him fall into danger and be forced to lose his childhood when he had no other choice.
nHe would have a good talk with He Youran.
nIt would be better if He Youran could accept his proposal. If she didn’t, he wouldn’t force her.
nEven though his heart had already told him the answer.
n“Okay, I’ll wait for you for three days.”
nNow that he had achieved his goal, He Yaobai was no longer aggressive.
nAfter all, no matter what the outcome of this matter was, it would benefit the He family more than it would harm them.
nIf Lu Qingzhuo admitted to He Youran and her son, they would be at the center of the storm.
nIf Lu Qingzhuo didn’t admit to He Youran and her son, the He and Lu families would continue their engagement.
nAs for He Youran…
nHe Yaobai narrowed his eyes.
nHe wasn’t sure if He Youran could cure him, but he didn’t want He Youran to die yet.
nIf Lu Qingzhuo and her had a falling out, he could make a move and take He Youran for his own use.
nAfter he figured out all these tricks, He Yaobai stopped playing games with the Lu family. He stood up, spoke to old madam Lu, and politely left with He Yaoxing.
