Chapter 782: Just Take It for Inspection

Ye family members were stunned, and no one dared to make a move.

A guest nearby couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Lu, what is your relationship with this young lady of the Ye family?”

Lu Zhenzhen looked at the person who had spoken.

About forty-something, his face was familiar but she couldn’t recall his name.

Yet, he was among the most distinguished guests the Ye family could invite.

But Lu Zhenzhen snapped back directly, “Who are you to ask such a question?”

The man’s face turned red with anger, and he was about to explode when the people nearby quickly held him back, whispering in warning, “That’s Miss Lu, weigh your options, see if you can afford to provoke her.”

Unprovable!

A few sharp retorts could ruin his company.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” Lu Zhenzhen said as if she hadn’t noticed the displeased expressions around her, her finger curling a strand of hair by her temple, her gaze casually sweeping across, “What I meant was, everyone present here is nothing.”

“Lu Zhenzhen!

Don’t get too arrogant!”

“Is it just because you have the backing of the Lu and Gao families that you are so arrogant?”

“We are reputable people, not someone a junior like you can insult in public!”

Lu Zhenzhen gave a cold laugh and was suddenly energized, ready to unleash her ability to debate everyone, when Yaen Chi suddenly stood in front of her.

He asked, “Who here is reputable?

Come out so I can see.”

“…”

This person was even more daunting.

Lu Zhenzhen poked him, “Mind your own business!”

Yaen Chi raised his wristwatch to her eyes, “Miss, aren’t you hungry?

Even if you’re not, the cake is going to melt.”

Lu Zhenzhen’s eyelid twitched, “Oh, you’re right.”

She was instantly convinced, turned around, and pulled Nan Jiaojiao’s hand, preparing to leave.

“Jiaojiao——”

Old Master Ye’s voice seemed to be forcefully dragged out from his throat as he was helped forward, his eyes fixed on Nan Jiaojiao, fearing that she would just walk away.

“Child, the misunderstanding hasn’t been cleared yet.

Grandfather will do you justice, but no matter what, we are still your family.

Today is your birthday, at least…

at least cut the cake before you go.”

Nan Jiaojiao turned around, her eyes mocking, “I have a cake too?”

Old Master Ye’s face turned a deep shade of red, well aware of the intricacies of the women in his family.

They hadn’t prepared a cake for Nan Jiaojiao in the past few years; how could there possibly be one this year.

“Yes!

Yes, there is!

I’ll have someone bring it right over.”

“Better not, you keep it.

I’m just in the way here.”

“What are you talking about, child!” Old Master Ye exclaimed, clicking his cane repeatedly, “Is a paternity test that important?

It hasn’t been clarified yet, and you’re already denying your family!”

Nan Jiaojiao was no fool.

She knew full well that Old Master Ye wasn’t eager to keep her, but those standing beside her.

When the paternity test was brought out, Old Master Ye hadn’t spoken a word, rather, he seemed eager to use this opportunity to drive her out of the house.

Now, he was keen on keeping people.

Such a blatantly purposeful relative, she might as well do without.

Nan Jiaojiao plucked a strand of hair, waved to summon a servant over, and placed it in his palm.

She said, “This sample is mine, take it for testing.

Just let me know the result.

If it matches, then continue as family.

If not—”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes shifted, a light snort blending with her subdued voice, sounding somewhat detached, “what to do, I quite hope it doesn’t match.”

“Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao!”

Old Master Ye was frantic, his face red and his neck swollen.

He suddenly realized that Nan Jiaojiao was usually quiet by nature, almost invisible during family gatherings.

Only now did he understand that she simply couldn’t be bothered to interact with them.
