Chapter 72 - I Swear, Zongye is Really Your Son (1/2)

Lu Zongye, who was still fast asleep, jumped up of bed and hugged Huo Yuxi immediately as soon as he heard her screaming. “What happened?”

Huo Yuxi pushed Lu Zongye away and threw her cell phone at him. “Are you asking me what happened? See for yourself!”

Lu Zongye was shocked at Huo Yuxi’s attitude towards him. After all, they had just gotten married yesterday and today was supposed to be their first day as a happily married couple. However, Huo Yuxi was staring at him as though he was a complete stranger.

Lu Zongye felt very uncomfortable with the way Huo Yuxi was staring at him, but he stayed calm and patiently picked up the cell phone that she had thrown at him. As soon as he glanced at the title of the post, he quickly put down the cell phone and turned around to ask Huo Yuxi, “You know that this kind of things are always made up right? Why would you believe this article to be true?”

“This article is released by X Society! You should finish reading the entire article before you say anything else.” After that, Huo Yuxi put on her clothes before she ran out of the room to make a phone call to Millennium Entertainment.

After Huo Yuxi left, Lu Zongye sat at the edge of the bed and started reading the entire article even though he felt that it was extremely ridiculous.

“This…this is impossible. How could this even be possible? Does X Society think that they can frame me by simply posting a DNA report online? How can they prove that the DNA is mine in the first place? This is seriously ridiculous.” Lu Zongye was in disbelief and he thought that the entire situation was hilarious.

He was the happiest man in the world yesterday and today, he was labelled as an impostor who was not officially a member of the Lu family. This must be done by someone who wanted to set him up.

Yes—Jiang Yuning. It must have been Jiang Yuning!

After reading the article, Lu Zongye put on some clothes before he found Huo Yuxi in the living room. He quickly walked up to her and started explaining himself. “Yuxi, you have to believe me. How can whatever they post online be true? I will prove them wrong, okay? All I have to do is to go home and take a DNA test with my father. Trust me, okay?”

Huo Yuxi had tears streaming down her face when she turned around to look at Lu Zongye. Her heart started to waver.

This was because the man in front of her seemed to know nothing at all about this matter.

“You…really did not lie to me?”

“How can you believe this kind of nonsense so easily? I am a member of the Lu family and that is an undeniable fact. We will go back to the Lu family mansion now to get this thing sorted out and then by the end of the day, you will know that this was merely an attempt by the media to ruin my reputation. Okay?” Lu Zongye tried to reassure Huo Yuxi.

After listening to Lu Zongye’s words, Huo Yuxi wiped the tears off her face and replied, “Okay then. Let’s go. Let’s go home now.”

“Wait, I think you should ask your mother to give Jiang Yuning a call. I do not believe that X Society would release this kind of fake news for no reason. Someone must have started the rumor to frame me and destroy our happy marriage. Who else do you think would do that except for Jiang Yuning?”

When Huo Yuxi saw how passionate and sincere Lu Zongye was, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. “You are already my husband now…so you must not lie to me.”

“Don’t worry, I would never lie to you. Hurry up and give your mother a call before we head back to the Lu family mansion.”

…

There was so much evidence to prove Lu Zongye’s real identity, but Lu Zongye and Huo Yuxi refused to believe that it was true. This was because Li Shutong had always been very secretive and she had never told anyone, not even Lu Zongye, the truth. That was the reason why Lu Zongye was so confident and smug even amidst the chaos. How would Li Shutong react when she found out that her lie had been exposed?

As soon as Lu Zhengbai stepped into his office, his secretary quickly informed him about the news released earlier that day. He was extremely shocked when he heard the news and quickly rushed back to the Lu family mansion in order to clarify the truth.

Li Shutong was taking a bath when Lu Zhengbai suddenly pushed the bathroom door open as he held onto his cell phone. He said in a stern voice, “Put on some clothes now.”

“Is something wrong?” Li Shutong asked, as she had not known about the news yet.

“Right now!” Lu Zhengbai screamed.

Li Shutong rolled her eyes and quickly got out of the bathtub before putting on her dress. She then followed Lu Zhengbai out to the living room. “What happened?”

“See for yourself,” Lu Zhengbai said as he handed his cell phone over to Li Shutong.
