Chapter 800: Chapter 800: In My Heart, You Will Always Be My Father
“That’s right, I was indeed foolish back then, but ever since we’ve been together, I’ve never done anything to betray you! Yizheng… Fine, even if he is my seed, that happened before we were married! Why would you betray me?” He Yirong was nearly going mad.
“I did not betray you,” Liu Minjun suddenly smiled, “Who the biological father of Jingyao is, even I do not know. All I know is that his biological father is someone I selected from a sperm bank.”
“Sperm bank…” He Yirong let out a harsh laugh, “Do you think I am incapable?”
“Since I guessed that He Yizheng might be your son, how could I not be worried?” said Liu Minjun indifferently, “The later I got pregnant, the more the age difference between this child and He Yizheng would be. So in my haste, I bought a sample from a sperm bank and went to the hospital for artificial insemination. It just so happened that you were often away on business those days. I calculated the dates so you wouldn’t suspect anything.”
He Yirong closed his eyes in pain, collapsing onto the couch and staring blankly into the void for a long time without speaking.
Clearly, finding out that He Jingyao was not his son was a greater blow than the possibility of He Yizheng being his illegitimate child.
For so many years, watching this child grow up day by day, although he regretted that Jingyao could not interact with women, He Yirong was always very proud inside. Because his son was so exceptional, demonstrating extraordinary talent from a young age, exceeding his expectations at every turn. But now… those feelings of pride were like slaps to his face, leaving him in complete disarray.
“But Ziyi is your daughter,” Liu Minjun suddenly added, “You don’t need to doubt that.”
He Yirong opened his mouth, but in the end, he could not say anything.
He had to believe Liu Minjun’s words. After so many years as husband and wife, he had some understanding of her character; thus, he did not believe she would betray him, but purchasing a sample of sperm from a sperm bank was certainly something she would do.
He did not even know whether to blame her or to blame himself.
If he hadn’t first fathered He Yizheng, the illegitimate child, she would not have made such a move in the heat of the moment…
But there is no medicine for regret in this world.
He Yirong turned his gaze towards He Jingyao, his look one of sadness and complexity.
“Father,” He Jingyao spoke softly, “this might be the last time I call you that, but no matter what, in my heart, you’ll always be my father.”
The cheeks of He Yirong trembled slightly, and he remained silent for a long time.
“Jingyao, when you say that, are you saying you’re unwilling to give up the position of He Family’s heir?” He Yizheng sneered, “You’ve already lost the qualification to inherit the family business.”
He Jingyao looked at him faintly, his expression cold and disdainful.
This look agitated He Yizheng, twisting his face with emotion!
For so many years, suffocating under the weight of being labeled an illegitimate child and overshadowed by He Jingyao, he had hardly seen a day of success. And now, to think that everything in the He Family should have belonged to him all along! He Jingyao was, in fact, nothing!
Therefore, upon learning the truth that day, alongside his ecstatic joy, he looked forward to seeing despair and pain on He Jingyao’s face.
Yet unexpectedly, even when facing the loss of everything, the man remained as composed as ever. It was as if the change of identity did not affect him in the slightest.
This demeanor made He Yizheng exceedingly uncomfortable.
