“I’ve had a paternity test done, and it’s definitely Eric’s child, no doubt about it!” the foreign woman replied in very broken Chinese.
Eric is He Haisheng's English name.
She intended to confirm the truthfulness of her words, but the He family took it as a warning.
If this woman really had a normal male-female relationship with He Haisheng and unexpectedly had a child, why insist on emphasizing that "a paternity test was done"?
With doubts lingering in his mind, the old man said calmly, "Haisheng isn't home right now. You and the child stay here. If they are truly the offspring of the He family, we won't renege on our promise."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, a look of delight appearing on her face. She subtly surveyed the villa's decor, her gaze lingering on Tang Xinxin and Juanjuan for a moment before she paused, her eyes showing a hint of hostility. She tentatively asked, "May I ask how this lady should be addressed?"
Chinese people tend to look younger than their actual age compared to Europeans. Tang Xinxin looks to be only in her early thirties in the eyes of her own countrymen, so the French girl, who has always had trouble recognizing the age of Easterners, would have no idea how old she is.
What is the relationship between Eric and a young, beautiful woman and a cute little boy?
How could the glint in her eyes escape the notice of the two shrewd men of the He family? Old Master He's eyes blazed with barely concealed anger. This woman from a foreign land had absolutely no manners; she was already trying to pry into the He family's affairs before even knowing her own origins.
And what kind of filthy thoughts did she have?
They even suspected that Tang Xinxin and Juanjuan were He Haisheng's family members!
Although ignorance is no excuse, her association with him already made the old man very uncomfortable.
“This is Haisheng’s elder! The child’s identity is currently unknown. You don’t need to ask too much about our family’s affairs. Butler, take her to the guest room to rest,” the old man said in a deep voice.
The butler respectfully responded and gestured for the woman to follow him.
Upon learning that Tang Xinxin was not He Haisheng's wife, the woman's wariness lessened considerably. Although she still had some things to say, the He family clearly did not want to give her the opportunity, and He Haisheng was not at home at the moment, so she could only remain still and leave with the housekeeper.
After the woman disappeared, the old man slammed his hand on the coffee table beside him and roared, "Call that brat and tell him to get back here right now!"
The old man was furious. He was a veteran who had retired from the battlefield and had never had any goodwill towards capitalist countries. It was He Zhan's idea to send He Haisheng to France for further studies. Although the old man was not very willing, he felt that he had already retired and handed the company over to his son, so he could not interfere too much. He Zhan wanted to train He Haisheng for the sake of the company, so he did not say much.
Over the past two years, the old man had been pleased to see He Haisheng becoming more and more mature and steady, as the young man had finally made something of himself and ensured the continuation of the He family line. Now that He Haisheng was almost thirty, the old man was happy that he could marry a granddaughter-in-law and have a great-grandson.
Unexpectedly, he had such a romantic affair in F country.
If what that foreign woman said is true, then He Haisheng not only found a foreign woman, but also abandoned her after starting a relationship!
The He family has been known for their romantic philandering for generations; when have they ever produced such a scoundrel?
Thinking of that little boy who, although very handsome, had blond hair and blue eyes and showed little Chinese ancestry, Grandpa He felt a lump in his throat.
Could it be that his first great-grandson is such a... foreign devil?
