Vol. 1 - Ch. 134 - Last profit

Ye QiuXue noticed that she wasn't getting any replies from Huming, and he hadn't shown up at school either.If she hadn't heard from Han YunXi that he was doing just fine at home, Ye QiuXue might have seriously worried that something had happened to him.

But if he was perfectly fine, then why wasn't he responding to her messages?

Somehow, that left her feeling a bit down.

Even though she knew there wasn't really any significant connection between them, after spending so much time together lately, she had already started to think of HuMing as a friend.

Now that he'd suddenly gone silent, it felt as though something essential was missing from her daily life.

Packing up her bag, she began her walk home.

...

Lee Tian clutched the paternity test results, his eyes wide and bloodshot, his hands trembling as he fought to control his emotions.

He could accept that Yu YueLuo had been cheating, but that Li Yue wasn't his daughter?

His fist slammed into his leg, yet he didn't feel the pain.

He looked up, his gaze filled with rage.

If that woman had been so heartless, then he did not need to hold back anymore.

With the test results in hand, he drove home, all the while carefully plotting his next steps.

More importantly, he could now finally bring his son home openly and without restraint.

He no longer needed the Yu family!

The thought sharpened his resolve.

His car soon stopped at his house. But just as he opened the door, he saw Yu YueLuo, phone in hand, laughing over something.

The moment she noticed him, her expression shifted instantly to one of cold hostility.

She still hadn't realized the gravity of the situation.

Lee Tian walked straight towards her, and Yu YueLuo ended her call, glaring at him as she spoke.

"Lee Tian, hand over that woman and child, or we're not done here!"

"Bitch, get out of my sight!"

Lee Tian's hand came down hard across her face, sending her reeling onto the sofa.

The slap stunned her. She sat there, dazed, staring at him as her head swam.

"What are you doing? Are you planning on abusing me?"

"You bitch damn well deserve it!"

Lee Tian's hands wrapped around Yu YueLuo's throat, his eyes darkening with fury.

Just then, Li Yue came out of her room and saw the scene, letting out a scream as she rushed over, desperately trying to pry his hands loose, shouting,

"Dad, what are you doing? Let go of Mom!"

Li Yue's voice brought him back to himself for a brief moment. He looked at the daughter he had raised for over ten years, only to feel his anger surge even higher.

They had hidden everything right under his nose, making a fool of him for over a decade.

And the girl in front of him was proof of it all.

In a rage, he threw Yu YueLuo to the floor and then struck Li Yue, knocking her to the ground.

"Bastard! Who do you think you are to order me around? You're a bitch just like your mother!"

Li Yue cried out in pain as she crashed onto the sofa, head spinning and hair falling messily around her face.

Lee Tian stepped toward her, his voice filled with venom.

"After all these years of deceit, you two must be sick of living!"

Hearing this, Yu YueLuo froze, realizing that Lee Tian had discovered the entire truth.

But HuMing had promised he wouldn't reveal anything!

Seeing her daughter getting hit, Yu YueLuo threw herself at Lee Tian, holding onto him tightly.

"Yue'er, run! Your father's gone mad!"

Li Yue's face was bruised, her hair in disarray, still dazed from everything that had just happened.

She couldn't understand why her father would treat her like this. If anyone had done wrong, it was him, not her.

Struggling to stand, she looked up and saw her father once again beating her mother, and she shouted out,

"Dad, what on earth is going on?!"

At the sound of Li Yue's shout, Lee Tian finally stopped, though his fists remained clenched as he glared at her.

Yu YueLuo reached out, grabbing his pant leg, only for him to kick her aside.

"If you want to know, I'll tell you!"

Lee Tian pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and tossed it at Li Yue.

Holding one hand to her ringing ear, Li Yue looked down at the paper.

As her eyes scanned its contents, they widened, her pupils shrinking to pinpoints.

Lee Tian sneered as he observed her reaction.

"You're not my child! You're the spawn of your mother and some lowlife I don't even know."

That one sentence was enough to shatter Li Yue.

Her body trembled, her breathing suddenly labored.

She had always been her father's daughter, a child of the Lee family---so why had things turned out like this?

Like a broken doll, she looked over at her mother, but Yu YueLuo turned her head away, too ashamed to meet her daughter's gaze.

Wasn't this reaction proof enough that it was true?

Clutching her head, Li Yue tried to scream, but no sound came out. She shook her head repeatedly, unwilling to accept the truth.

No matter how much she denied it, the facts were unchangeable.

Lee Tian loosened his tie, his cold gaze fixed on the two women before him.

Now, he could finally rid himself of them. Thankfully, he'd prepared a backup plan, so his son was still his rightful heir. As for these two wretches, they wouldn't see a cent of his money!

"Lee Tian, you can't just abandon us. Li Yue still has an engagement with the Han family."

"If it weren't for that, I would've killed you both by now!"

Lee Tian's glare bore into Yu YueLuo, barely restraining his fury as he collapsed onto the nearby sofa, breathing heavily.

This woman had cheated for over twenty years. If there weren't still profits to be made, he'd have dealt with them both by now.

"Sending this bitch into the Han family is your only way to survive!"

He didn't even look at Li Yue, losing all interest in her.

But just as he finished speaking, a cold scoff echoed from outside.

Everyone turned, faces paling at what they saw.

Li Yue's own face went white, and she felt herself about to faint. S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

There, standing in the doorway in heels, was Zhou WenLi. Her gaze toward Li Yue had undergone a complete transformation.

If there had once been any warmth in her eyes, now only fury and disgust remained.

"It's true that our ShuYi is engaged to your family. But to think you'd try to pawn off someone who isn't even truly of the Lee family into the Han family---isn't that the most absurd notion imaginable?"

Zhou WenLi's words exploded like a bomb in everyone's ears.
