Huo Zhixing also insisted on going with him, and even called Jiang Can over.

As the group hurriedly prepared to get into the car, the butler awkwardly explained with a smile, "Sir, Madam, it's not that Mrs. Lu fainted, it's that Mrs. Lu said she can handle it herself... Ha, I wonder who spread the word like this..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Jiang Can still frowned: "Sister Yuqing is a strong person, but Lu Ran coming to our doorstep to make a scene is not something to be ashamed of! Besides, Xiaoyouzi is pregnant, how can she withstand such an ordeal!"

"Yes, yes!" Huo Junyu had already ordered the driver to start the car; he couldn't wait to get back and protect his wife.

“Let’s go take a look together,” Jiang Can decided. “Junyu, haven’t you been sending people to follow Lu Ran all along?”

"Yes," Huo Junyu said calmly. "The people I sent out told me that she had indeed been actively contacting reporters recently, but I didn't expect her to have all the reporters contacted today."

"For what reason?"

Huo Junyu didn't speak, but glanced at Huo Jingnan.

That person had the same aloof expression on their face.

Now that things had come to this, Huo Junyu had no choice but to tell the truth: "Lu Ran found Pei Nian's diary somewhere, and it said... Pei Nian is Dad's... illegitimate daughter."

The car fell silent.

Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can stared at Lu Lishan, who was so flustered that he didn't know where to put his hands.

"Heaven and earth bear witness!" Lu Lishan roared, "If I have ever had another woman besides Yuqing in my life, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can continued to look at him without saying a word.

Lu Lishan was extremely anxious and grabbed Huo Zhixing to explain, "You know me... When I'm sober, I can't have a relationship with other women. When I'm drunk, I... I can't!"

"puff!"

Huo Junyu turned his face to the window, trying his best to endure it.

Huo Zhixing pushed him away with a look of disgust, which amused Jiang Can.

Only Huo Jingnan looked serious and sighed softly.

He checked his phone; the DNA test report was stored there, showing a 0% result—something he had kept a secret for life.

When they arrived at the Lu family's residence, the reporters at the entrance had not yet dispersed.

Huo Junyu immediately noticed Lu Ran's smug and self-satisfied expression.

He instructed the driver to honk the horn loudly, and the reporters stood on both sides to make way for him as he drove into the Lu family's gate.

Lu Lishan got out of the car and rushed to his wife, embracing her tightly.

Just like when he was young, if anyone dares to make his woman unhappy, he'll make that person unhappy for the rest of their life!

Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can also walked over. Huo Junyu held Jiang Mianmian's hand, and the warmth of his palm gave her a sense of security.

Huo Jingnan stood beside Pei Nian, her red-rimmed eyes breaking his heart. He gently put his arm around her shoulder, his eyes telling her not to be afraid, that he was here.

Lu Ran bit her lip tightly.

A sudden wave of sorrow washed over her. In the past, Huo Junyang would have stood by her side in similar situations. However, this thought was fleeting, and the sorrow in her heart instantly transformed into endless hatred.

"Ha, so you're all here to support that little bitch? A bastard daughter, and she's got some serious power!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Lu Lishan roared. "Niannian is not my illegitimate daughter. I have never done anything to wrong your aunt in my life! If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being really rude to you!"

“Uncle, you’re really getting senile.” Lu Ran looked into his eyes. “Don’t you know who her mother is? It’s Pei Hong, whom you saved! Ha… You know best what you did back then!”

"Ranran!" Jiang Mianmian couldn't hold back anymore, "Sister Hong also saved our lives, how can you say such things about her!"

"She was saving you!" Lu Ran was blinded by hatred. "Those people wanted to kidnap you back then! I was implicated because of you!"

"you……"

"Pei Hong saved you only because of your father! Saving her old flame's child, huh, how noble of her!"

Jiang Mianmian bent over, clutching her stomach, which was contracting painfully.

"But don't forget who tried to kidnap me in the first place!" Jiang Mianmian emphasized each word.

She didn't want to say these heartless words; they were like sharp blades that would leave one utterly wounded.

She didn't want to completely break ties with Lu Ran; she still retained the last shred of her principles towards her.

But now she understands that Lu Ran is not worth it.

Huo Junyang was right to break up with her. Why should you have any sympathy for a venomous snake?

"It was Lu Ming who tried to kidnap me! It was also Lu Ming who caused me to be separated from my parents for twenty years!"

"Ranran, I've always considered you my sister, and I've always felt sad for you losing your mother... I've always thought that we could grow old together as sisters. But now I realize that it was all just wishful thinking on my part!"

"You..." Lu Ran's lips trembled, "You don't hate that little bitch, but you hate me instead?"

"I don't hate you." Jiang Mianmian smiled bitterly. "Hating someone is too tiring, and you're not worth my time. I still have to live my life. I just hope that you won't be a part of my life anymore!"

Lu Ran took a few steps back and bumped right into a reporter's camera.

She was startled, hearing the group of reporters behind her discussing it with great interest... Originally, she had brought them here to expose Pei Nian's illegitimate daughter's identity, but unexpectedly, everyone was now standing next to Pei Nian!

"But overall, this grand drama was quite worthwhile!"
