Chapter 791: Chapter 791 Your share… has disappeared
“Now you understand,” He Jingyao said in a light tone, “I haven’t even touched a finger of hers.”
“But she doesn’t seem like she’s lying,” He Yirong frowned, “I specifically brought this girl here because she has a mild temperament, even a bit weak. She wouldn’t speak nonsense without a reason.”
He Jingyao sneered, “What does that have to do with me?”
“Come back to Yanzhou City with me and clear up this issue,” He Yirong looked at him expressionlessly.
“Impossible,” He Jingyao smoothed his brow, appearing to find the whole matter absurd, “Father, no matter why she’s saying this, it has nothing to do with me.”
“Not necessarily…” He Yirong suddenly gave him a deep look, “I believe that you haven’t touched her, but that doesn’t mean the child has nothing to do with you.”
He Jingyao’s gaze darkened, “What do you mean by that?”
“When you insisted on having the surgery, even though I wasn’t quite convinced that Xiaobao was your son, I didn’t strongly object to it, do you know why?” He Yirong looked at him.
He Jingyao let out a light “Ha” and relaxed slightly, his tone casual with a hint of nonchalance, “Why?”
“Before Zhixi came into the picture, you couldn’t have contact with women,” He Yirong said, glancing at Zhixi subconsciously before continuing, “It was probably when you were fifteen, your grandfather was concerned about you not having offspring, so he stored a sample of your sperm.”
“Why don’t I remember that?” He Jingyao raised an eyebrow.
“You went through many medical examinations back then, and of course, sperm testing was among them. One sample was kept by your grandfather,” He Yirong continued, “There’s a family shrine in the backyard of the old house, with a buddhist niche. You must remember it. Your sperm was stored there.”
“And then?” He Jingyao’s tone remained calm, but his eyes were roiling with darkness, as if he was struggling to suppress his emotions.
“Later, your grandfather thought it was a good idea, so he stored a sample for me and your uncle too, just in case,” He Yirong sighed, “Before I left, I went to have a look specifically, and your sample… was gone. That’s why I think that woman might not be lying.”
Zhixi’s hand trembled slightly, her eyes revealing a bit of lost bewilderment.
If… If what He Yizheng said was true, then that meant La Jiao’s child could indeed be Jingyao’s!
And there was another woman carrying his child… The reality made Zhixi’s heart pound violently.
She had never expected to face such a situation and her mind buzzed, unable to grasp any thoughts.
Not until her hand was firmly grasped by He Jingyao.
She turned her lost gaze, meeting He Jingyao’s dark and worried eyes.
“Don’t be afraid,” he said softly, “Trust me, okay?”
Zhixi opened her mouth and ultimately nodded gently.
Yes, things hadn’t been cleared up yet, she couldn’t panic first!
He Yizheng took in their interaction but didn’t say much.
“Is it only you who knows about this?” He Jingyao directed his icy gaze at He Yizheng.
“No,” He Yizheng took a deep breath, “As I just said, your grandfather also had your uncle store a sample, so He Yizheng also knows.”
“Heh…” He Jingyao laughed, “So you’re saying, it was either you or He Yizheng who did this.”
