Chapter 831 - The Newly Found Granddaughter

Chapter 831: The Newly Found Granddaughter

His resemblance to Yan Huan was more significant than his resemblance to his lost Youngest Aunt.

“Let me have a look.” Ye Shuyun scrutinized the features of Ye Xinyu’s face, “Hmm. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I really do see a faint similarity between the both of them. But, I can’t tell which part exactly does he bear a resemblance to Yan Huan.”

“The eyes.” Lu Yi took a seat next to her. In fact, he shared the same thought the first moment he met Ye Xinyu. In his opinion, if Ye Xinyu were to dress as a girl, he would look almost no different to Yan Huan.

“I think you’re right,” Ye Shuyun nodded in approval. Indeed, they looked somewhat alike. Both of their eyes were large and misty. This pair of big eyes would enhance a woman’s beauty. But, if they were grown on a man’s face, they would only make him a target of bullying. Inevitably, Ye Xinyu, who was born with a pair of pretty eyes, had always been harassed since he was a young boy.

“Oh, yeah.” Ye Shuyun suddenly recalled the question she was about to ask Ye Xinyu.

“Xinyu, why did your grandpa assemble us here?”

Ye Shuyun was completely puzzled, not understanding why she was hastily summoned so early in the morning without any explanation. With the Ye family’s current state, it was unlikely for the family to suffer any misfortune as there was hardly any individual who was brainless enough to provoke them. Being more powerful than ever, no one would have had the audacity to defy the Ye family.

“I have no idea.” Ye Xinyu was rather disoriented as he said with a grumpy face, “I was forcibly removed from my bed this morning too.” He had only fell asleep at three o’clock in the morning. In fact, he was playing games till late night. But, of course, he did not have the guts to tell the truth, unless he was trying to invite a beating.

At that moment, a series of footsteps resonated across the corridor. Ye Xinyu pointed at the door before he made a cutthroat gesture, signalling Ye Chuji’s arrival.

The door was flung open. Surprisingly, standing outside the door was not Ye Chuji, but Ye Jianguo.

Ye Jianguo appeared to be much older than before and was no longer a fit and healthy man. Due to his old age, all his hair had turned grey. But, at the very least, he looked like he was in good spirits.

Ye Shuyun hurriedly stood up to help Ye Jianguo.

“Dad, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be resting?”

Ye Shuyun turned on Ye Chuji accusingly, “Brother, you know about dad’s health. Why did you bring him out?”

Ye Chuji heaved a sigh as he did not know how to respond to her question.

“It’s alright. It wasn’t Chuji’s fault. I was the one who insisted on coming over.” Ye Jianguo patted his daughter’s arm and said, “All of you, take a seat. I have an announcement to make.”

Ye Jianguo sat down before he glanced out of the door.

“Come in. We’re family.”

Ye Shuyun exchanged gazes with Ye Xinyu. What’s happening? Do we have a visitor?

Ye Xinyu shrugged. I have no idea. I was also summoned here early in the morning. I haven’t heard about the arrival of any guests. At that moment, the door opened again and a young woman entered the room.

Ye Shuyun was stunned.

In the meantime, Lu Yi narrowed his black eyes slightly. However, he wore no expression, as if the whole incident was utterly unrelated to him.

On the other hand, Ye Xinyu’s jaw was dropping.

Has grandfather lost his mind? Why did he bring this person here?

“Come here.” Ye Jianguo beckoned the lady over.

The young lady flashed a smile before she walked to her seat gracefully. Ye Jianguo extended his stick-like finger before he let out a faint sigh. Over the past few years, the wound had grown deeper. Unfortunately, it was a wound that could not be washed away by time.

“She’s Rongrong’s daughter.”

Ye Shuyun exclaimed, “Rongrong’s daughter? How is that possible?”

Ye Xinyu, too, was in shock, “How can she be Youngest Aunt’s daughter?”

Lu Yi’s eyes remained squinted, as he pursed his thin lips and clenched his teeth harder.

“She’s Rongrong’s daughter,” Ye Chuji repeated.

Ye Shuyun felt a strange buzzing in her head.

Rongrong’s daughter?

How is that possible?

“Brother, what did you just say?” Ye Shuyun asked in disbelief. What did he just say? She’s Rongrong’s daughter? They have found Rongrong?

“Yes, she is Rongrong’s daughter,” Ye Chuji reiterated with a serious tone, making it clear that he was not making a joke. Ye Chuji was firm with his answer after he had gotten the girl’s identity checked and proven.

“Rongrong left a few strands of her hair behind. I’ve sent it for DNA genetic testing and proves that she is undoubtedly Rongrong’s daughter,” Ye Chuji said.

“She...” Ye Shuyun pointed at the woman who was sitting next to Ye Jianguo. Isn’t she Sun Yuhan? Ye Shuyun took a big gulp, almost choking herself.

“She’s Rongrong’s daughter?”

“Yes,” Ye Chuji nodded, “She is Rongrong’s daughter. It’s true.”

“Where is Rongrong?” Ye Shuyun felt as though her brain was not functioning anymore. She could not respond to anything as if she had completely lost her intelligence.

“Rongrong passed away a long time ago,” Ye Chuji’s eyes were brimming with tears as he spoke. He was clueless about his sister’s fate, who had gone missing and left a child behind. His sister did not update the family about her status and whereabouts, neither did she introduce her child to them. Fortunately, Sun Yuhan knew her own background. Otherwise, they might never find out about Ye Rong’s death, not to mention her grown up daughter.

“Uncle, have you validated the fact?” Lu Yi lifted his gaze to look at Ye Chuji. Any matter regarding a family’s bloodline should never be taken lightly.

“Yes, I’m positive.” Ye Chuji nodded, “I handled the investigation personally. We’ve even done the DNA genetic testing and I’m certain that she is your Youngest Aunt’s daughter.”

Lu Yi fixed his gaze on Sun Yuhan.

Sun Yuhan put on a faint grin, as if she held no grudges against Lu Yi and nothing had ever happened between them.

“I didn’t expect this to happen. As you may have already known, I only discovered my late mother’s belongings when I returned to my hometown. I apologize for the troubles I have caused to you in the past.”

“What’s the use of apologizing?” Ye Shuyun stood up abruptly, looking extremely embittered.

“Can your apology compensate the ordeal my son has been through? He was almost killed by your actions!”

Sun Yuhan bowed her head as she was berated by Ye Shuyun, not daring to utter a single word. Meanwhile, Ye Jianguo seemed increasingly upset as Ye Shuyun spoke.

“I didn’t do it on purpose, aunt. I swear...” Sun Yuhan’s shoulders trembled. It appeared as though she was sobbing and sincerely regretted her misbehaviors.

She intended to apologize to the Ye family first in order to leave a good impression. However, Ye Jianguo disagreed. He had been looking for his daughter for more than 20 years. Now that his daughter was no longer alive and he found his granddaughter, he would never allow anyone to mistreat his granddaughter.

“Just ignore her.” Ye Jianguo clutched his granddaughter’s hand and said, “Grandpa will support you in this matter. There’s no need to apologise to her when you’re not at fault. They are trying to rebel against me if they refuse to acknowledge your status in this family. Perhaps, they think of me as an eyesore and pray for me to die as soon as possible.”
