As Helian Xiao stared stonily at Helian Zhu, the gentle and warm expression he always had was gone as he seemed extremely cold and disappointed in her. He didn’t have too much of an expression, the strong aura he exuded seemed to want to freeze the air completely.

Helian Zhu didn’t dare look into his eyes.

She looked down, her shoulders s.h.i.+vering as she said softly, “Daddy, you… you heard wrongly. I didn’t mention anything about any ident.i.ty.”

She was still struggling with all she had, only hoping that Daddy didn’t hear her clearly. Auntie Ye said that she would settle the issues in the Capital, so nothing could happen on her side as well.

Since she couldn’t marry Ye Sihan anymore, she could not let Nan Zhi s.n.a.t.c.h her Daddy as well! No matter how well Daddy treated her, she was not his biological child. If he had his biological daughter, what would her position be in the Helian family from now on?

She could not take the double blow and pain of losing her love and her family!

Helian Zhu cried as she spoke. She rarely cried, having always showed others her independent and strong image. However, she also knew that if she wanted Daddy to be softer to her and cherish her, she had to use her tears as her weapon.

In the past, once she cried, Daddy would give in to her. That was why she rarely cried, having used her tears for something useful when she did!

However, this time, Helian Xiao didn’t go soft on her because of her tears. He stood next to the bed, his eyes as sharp as knives as his voice was cold and strict as never before. “Helian Zhu, I already heard you saying about Nan Zhi’s ident.i.ty. Also, who were you calling just now?”

As Helian Xiao said it, he bent down to pick up Helian Zhu’s phone that had dropped to the floor. The VIP ward Helian Zhu was staying in was covered in plush carpet, so her phone wasn’t ruined from the drop.

Seeing Helian Xiao pick up her phone, Helian Zhu wanted to take it back. However, Helian Xiao took a step back with the phone in his hand.

All Helian Zhu could grab was the air.

But the more nervous she was, the more suspicious Helian Xiao got.

Her phone was locked, but this was nothing for Helian Xiao. Within a few seconds, he managed to unlock her phone.

Helian Zhu closed her eyes, feeling so cold it was like she had fallen into a deep abyss. She bowed her head low, not daring to look at Helian Xiao or speak again.

Helian Xiao glanced at the caller ID. The person Helian Zhu had spoke to was saved as Auntie Ye.

Auntie Ye?

Ye Sihan’s mother?

Helian Xiao glanced at Helian Zhu’s messages next and didn’t find anything. However, just as he was about to pa.s.s Helian Zhu her phone, he saw an email. Helian Zhu didnt have the habit of looking through his children’s private matters, however, Helian Zhu was acting too strangely.

He vaguely thought that Madam Ye and her were hiding something from him.

Besides, was it related to Nan Zhi’s ident.i.ty?

Dismissing the thoughts, Helian Xiao opened her email inbox and saw an unt.i.tled email she received. When he opened the attached doc.u.ment, he saw that it was a paternity test report.

The name of the tester wasn’t written on the report. However, the final results showed that the parties the samples belonged to were direct relatives.

Helian Xiao showed Helian Zhu her phone. “Whose report is this?”

Although Helian Xiao had a brief guess already in his mind, however, he felt that his thought was too ridiculous and impossible.

Glancing at her phone, Helian Zhusaw that Helian Xiao had seen the paternity test report in her email. It was as if all of her blood had frozen in place, all of her limbs turning cold. Her lashes trembled, her hands grasping the blanket tightly as her forehead and back were all covered in cold sweat.
