Chapter 889: The Last Bargaining Chip (1)

Li Yan was stunned. His eyes widened as he looked at Lu Xiangtian. What do you mean by that?

What do I mean? I meant it literally. This woman is not my daughter at all. She has been lying to me all this time!

Lu Sizheng was walking out of the courtyard with Zhao Youlin and Lu Sizheng when he heard Lu Xiangtians angry roar. Zhao Youlins heart skipped a beat,

Li Yans expression changed. He turned to Lu Shu and said, Lu Shu, what he said is true. You Youre not

Lu Shus eyes fluttered guiltily, but she quickly reacted. She shook her head and said, No, its not like that. I dont know either. I really dont know. Dad, believe me, I really knew nothing about this. How could our paternity test result be like this? Back then, when we tested it It was clearly real. Dad, do you still remember the paternity test? Were really father and daughter. Were really father and daughter! This must be someone must be trying to sow discord between us. Yes, this must be the case. Dad, you have to believe me. Believe me!

It would have been better if Lu Shu hadnt mentioned it. The more she mentioned it, the more Lu Xiangtian realized how foolish he had been back then. If it hadnt been for the paternity test, how could he have been so sure that the person in front of him was his daughter? How could it have taken so long for him to realize that he had mistaken her for someone else, and that the person who was really related to him by blood might have been deprived of him for even longer or if she had even..

The anger in Lu Xiangtians heart grew even more intense because of Lu Shus words. In the end, he could not hold it in any longer. He pointed the gun in his hand at his head and fired a shot as if he was venting.

If Lu Xiangtian had not remembered that Lu Shu was still useful and that he still had to get some information out of her, he would have shot Lu Shu in the heart.

At the same time, Zhao Youlin, who had found a spot in the courtyard to eavesdrop and ensure that she would not be discovered, narrowed her eyes dangerously when she heard Lu Shus explanation.

It turned out that Lu Xiangtian and Lu Shu had done a paternity test back then, but since they had done it before, why was the result of the paternity test back then completely different from what it was now?

Lu Shu and Li Yan were both shocked by Lu Xiangtians action of shooting. Lu Shus face was even paler, and she reflexively grabbed Li Yans arm, trying to find some sense of security from him.

Although Li Yan was involved with guns all the time, pointing at others and being pointed at by others were two completely different feelings.

Seeing that the two of them had fallen silent, Lu Xiangtians lips curled into a mocking smile, and he sneered. Even now, you still want to lie to me. This paternity test was performed by my personal doctor using the hair you left in the room not long ago, and my hair. Only I, the butler, and my personal doctor handled it. My personal doctor doesnt even know who hes testing. Are you referring to me or the butler trying to frame you?

Lu Shus face turned pale when she heard that. The old butler of the Lu family might seem gentle and easy-going, but he had always followed Lu Xiangtian when he was young and had even been his right-hand man. Later, because of some old injuries, he retired and stayed by Lu Xiangtians side. He became the butler of the Lu family. The butler was Lu Xiangtians servant and brother. They had been friends for twenty to thirty years.

Lu Xiangtian placed the old butler and Lu Shu on opposite ends of the scale. One was a brother who had lived and bled with him for decades, while the other was a daughter whom he had accepted thanks to what a piece of paper told him. Now, even her ident.i.ty was unclear. Who would Lu Xiangtian trust more? It was obvious.

No, thats not what I meant.

Then what do you mean? Forget it. Im not interested. Tell me this, why on Earth are you pretending to be my daughter? Did someone put you up to this? Who did it?

Lu Shus expression changed again when she heard that, and her eyes turned slightly. She gritted her teeth and said, I really dont know what youre talking about. Father, you were the one who personally conducted the paternity test back then. Even if something really did go wrong, it should have been your negligence, father. After all, Im innocent. I dont know anything, but you told me that Im your daughter. Now, youre suddenly holding another paternity test and saying that Im not your daughter. Youre the one who said Im your daughter, and youre the one who said Im not. If thats the case, why did you ask me?

Lu Shus somewhat willful words startled everyone. Li Yan almost believed her when he heard what she said. He felt that Lu Shu was truly innocent in this matter, but Lu Xiangtian was not as nave as he was.

After the initial shock, Lu Xiangtian immediately recognized the flaw in Lu Shus words.

Even now, youre still so stubborn. You were the one who personally gave me the blood sample from the paternity test back then. The paternity test result back then said that we were father and daughter by blood. Does that even make sense?

Lu Xiangtians face darkened again as he spoke. He remembered that he had actually asked Lu Shu about the necklace after the paternity test, because before he went to look for her Lu Xiangtian learned from the woman who had pointed him in the right direction that the child they had adopted back then was indeed wearing a necklace when they picked him up, however, he did not know if she was still wearing it.

What had Lu Shu said when she heard his question? She said that she had never seen that necklace before. Perhaps she had lost it a long time ago or the hospital director had put it away.

She had also mentioned that the director had always been greedy and had once bought something from someone else a long time ago.

Lu Xiangtian was naturally misled into thinking that the necklace had been sold to someone else by the director.

When he saw the necklace on Zhao Youlins body, the first thought that came to Lu Xiangtians mind was that Zhao Youlin must have bought the necklace from someone else. He had never thought that there were other possibilities.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangtian recalled the accident that happened between him and Zhao Youlin. The mastermind of the accident was Lu Shu.

At that time, Lu Shu explained to him that it was because she had misunderstood that Zhao Youlin was seducing Li Yan. That was why she had done such an extreme thing in a fit of anger.

But now that he thought about it, he felt that this reason was somewhat untenable. It wasnt that Lu Shu had never been jealous of the women around Li Yan before. Although she had secretly done some things to make things difficult for him, she had never hurt anyones life like how she had treated Ms. Zhao this time. Could it be
