Chapter 2707 - 2711: If Only I Had Known

Chapter 2707: Chapter 2711: If Only I Had Known

He just felt an extreme joy.

But now, Zang Jiayi’s questioning poured a bucket of cold water over his head.

Indeed.

Even if Huo Zhongqi is a seed of the Huo Family, so what?

Huo Zhongqi is an illegitimate child!

The Huo Family couldn’t possibly allow an illegitimate child to become its heir.

Otherwise, the Huo Family would become a laughingstock.

What a pity.

Such a pity.

Such a good prospect, yet he’s an illegitimate child!

His heart ached with grief, stirring a pain in his gut, as he couldn’t help but harshly kick Huo Qihang: "What the hell is going on? How can Qiqi be an illegitimate child? How can he be an illegitimate child?!"

He knew what he said was nonsense.

But he just couldn’t help thinking this way.

How great it would be if Huo Zhongqi were not an illegitimate child.

All the problems would be solved smoothly.

His most beloved child would return to his side.

In ten years, the Huo Family will have the most outstanding heir ever.

What a pity!

Pity...

Huo Qihang opened his mouth but couldn’t make a sound.

He looked down at Huo Zhongqi, eyes filled with regret.

If only he had known.

If he had known earlier that Lo Yanwan was pregnant with a genius like Huo Zhongqi, and Zang Jiayi was carrying a sickly child with heart disease, why would he have abandoned Lo Yanwan to marry Zang Jiayi?

He discarded Lo Yanwan and married Zang Jiayi merely because of the Zang Family’s power.

In school, he had been a student who believed in love above all else.

After graduating from university and formally entering the company, he understood the importance of connections.

Noble marriages require equal standing.

His third brother married a noble heiress.

Lo Yanwan was an orphan, having nothing to her name.

After his third brother married, it was his turn.

His father arranged for him to meet Zang Jiayi.

Initially, he wanted to refuse.

But thinking of his third sister-in-law’s prestigious family background, he hesitated.

If his third brother married a noble heiress, and he wed a penniless civilian girl, he would definitely lose the right to inherit from the Huo Family.

He was an ambitious man, particularly obsessed with power.

He believed that both his third brother and fifth brother were inferior to him in talent.

The identity of the Huo Family heir naturally should be his!

So, when his father arranged for him to meet Zang Jiayi, he didn’t tell his father about his ongoing romance with Lo Yanwan.

He loved Lo Yanwan.

He wanted to marry Zang Jiayi but didn’t want to give up Lo Yanwan.

So, he two-timed, all the while passionately involved with Lo Yanwan and feigning interest in Zang Jiayi.

He thought that someone of his status having a wife and a couple of women outside was perfectly normal.

As long as he kept it a secret from Zang Jiayi and the Zang Family, it wouldn’t be a problem at all.

However, secrets have a way of coming out.

The affair with Lo Yanwan became known to Zang Jiayi.

Zang Jiayi caused a huge ruckus, demanding to break off the engagement with him.

Panicking, he immediately promised Zang Jiayi to break up with Lo Yanwan.

He truly loved Lo Yanwan, deeply loved her.

Lo Yanwan was the first woman to move his heart and the only one.

But he loved power more than beauty.

What he loved most was power.

Marrying Zang Jiayi could help him gain the Huo Family inheritance.

Marrying Lo Yanwan would make him lose the Huo Family inheritance.

For someone who loves power, this decision was easy.

That night, he went to where Lo Yanwan lived and broke up with her.
