Huo Junyu leaned back lazily on the sheepskin sofa.
The servant had already prepared his usual hand-drip Yirgache coffee for him. The aroma of the coffee filled his nostrils, making him feel as if he were in a dream.
In his dream, he was in Jiangzhou; when he woke up, he had returned to Yangcheng.
"How was it, son?" Jiang Can asked him with a smile. "Was the cake delicious?"
Huo Junyu nodded and replied that it was delicious.
Actually, he didn't eat much; he didn't like sweet things anyway.
I heard that my dad didn't like it at first, but my mom liked it, so he started to like it too.
Then his mother called him "Bald Meatball".
Huo Junyu chuckled. Actually, among his father's peers, he was already quite well-preserved. The Huo family had good genes in this regard, and even in middle age, Huo Zhixing was still a tall and handsome uncle, with the years adding a touch of vicissitude to his appearance.
"Dad, Mom," Huo Junyu sat up straight and asked them, "Why are you so anxious to bring me back? What happened?"
Huo Zhixing looked at him and said in a low voice, "Didn't Wen Jie tell you?"
"He spoke very vaguely, and said that it couldn't be explained in just a sentence or two."
"Yes, that's true. This matter is related to Lu Xiaoyou..."
“Son,” Huo Zhixing said, his gaze deep as he looked at Huo Junyu. His voice was soft but deliberate, “Your Uncle Lu has found Xiaoyouzi.”
"What?" Huo Junyu was stunned for a long time.
“When we heard the news, our reaction was the same as yours,” Jiang Can said. “But after calming down and thinking about it, we realized it was quite unbelievable.”
Huo Junyu frowned. "Who found it?"
"He is a cousin of Lu Lishan, named Lu Ming."
"Then what makes you say that the girl they found is Xiaoyouzi?"
"That's also what your mother and I have deep suspicions about!"
Huo Zhixing sent all the servants away and had Fang Han stand guard outside, not even allowing Huo Junyang to enter.
At this moment, only the three of them remained in the large living room.
Huo Zhixing took out a photocopy of a DNA report and handed it to his son.
Huo Junyu learned traditional Chinese medicine from his maternal grandfather and also studied Western medicine, so reading a report was no problem for him.
As he looked at it, the knot between his brows tightened.
"Where did this report come from?"
“It was Lu Ming who took Xiaoyouzi for the paternity test.” Jiang Can recounted the whole story to Huo Junyu. “Back then, in that shipwreck, the person who kidnapped Xiaoyouzi was one of the survivors, but even though he escaped the disaster, he couldn’t escape legal punishment. He was sentenced to death. Before his execution, Lu Ming met with him, and he told Lu Ming that a couple had taken Xiaoyouzi away, and Xiaoyouzi’s fate was unknown…”
Huo Junyu then understood why the Lu family had never given up searching for Xiaoyouzi all these years.
It turns out there really was a glimmer of hope.
"So for all these years, Lu Ming has been following this clue, and unexpectedly, he actually found it!"
"Dad, Mom," Huo Junyu said in a low voice, "Have Aunt and Uncle seen this report?"
“They’ve seen it,” Huo Zhixing said, “but there’s nothing wrong with the report.”
Jiang Can glanced at him and continued, "The report is definitely fine. The problem lies with the person who did the test... So the best solution now is to have Xiaoyouzi come to the hospital we invested in, accompanied by one of our people, and do another DNA test!"
"Uncle Lu won't agree, will he?"
"Of course he wouldn't!" Huo Zhixing shook his head. "The two of them are so excited they haven't slept well for several nights! Ah Shan even said he'd give Lu Ming one-third of Qingshan Entertainment's shares as a token of his gratitude!"
"How can this be?" Huo Junyu was taken aback.
Qingshan Entertainment was an empire built by Lu Lishan and Lin Yuqing through hard work, and in the past, no one in the Lu family wanted to associate with them.
Now you want a piece of the pie?
And we don't even know if that girl is the real Xiaoyouzi!
Huo Junyu bit his lip, put away the DNA report, and said after a moment of silence, "These kinds of things are often blinded by those involved; only bystanders like us can see the problems."
“Exactly!” Jiang Can said worriedly. “Your dad and I are worried, but we just don’t know what to do… If it really is Xiao Youzi, then everyone will be happy, but if it’s not… won’t Sister Yuqing have to suffer another blow?”
Huo Junyu remained silent.
He was lost in thought.
If it really is Xiaoyouzi, does that mean he has to fulfill the marriage agreement?
However, the thought of Jiang Mianmian made his heart ache involuntarily.
