Chapter 353 - 353: Biological Daughter
This bunch of ignorant villains actually suspected that his Miaomiao was trying to climb up the social ladder. Let’s see how he slaps their faces later!
Jing Yan held He Miao’s hand expressionlessly and led her into the venue behind He Chen and the butler.
In the banquet hall, many business tycoons had already reserved seats and gathered together to chat about business matters.
Hearing the commotion at the door, everyone put down their wine glasses and looked curiously at the door.
When they saw Jing Yan and He Chen walking together, these people subconsciously exchanged glances with their close friends. They could see some shock in their eyes. When they saw that the young lady who had recently entered their circle, He Miao, was also there, the expressions on their faces became even more interested.
Although they were still shocked, they did not show it on their faces. They walked over to welcome He Chen respectfully.
Although the He family had just returned to the country not long ago, their foundation was still there. Moreover, they had already sent people to inquire about the situation abroad. The He family did not move back to the country because they could not survive abroad. Instead, they almost monopolized the foreign market.
It was unheard of in the business world to have such a large family business. Therefore, even if He Chen was just a disabled person who looked weak, no one would look down on him because of this. Instead, they admired his accomplishments even more.
Jing Yan’s side naturally received compliments. Although He Miao’s side also received compliments, with these two people present, she could still have some peace.
He Chen smiled and patiently listened to everyone’s flattery. Then, he raised his hand and gestured for them to pause for a moment. He cleared his throat and said, “I called everyone here this time because 1 actually have a piece of good news to announce to the outside world.”
“What good news?” Everyone immediately raised their heads to look at He Miao and Jing Yan.
Could it be that the two of them were finally getting engaged again? However, what did this have to do with He Chen? Should it not be He Feng the one hosting this personally?
Moreover, they had not seen He Feng’s family until now. Could it be that they were too embarrassed to go out because of the joke they had made some time ago, so they asked the head of the He family, He Chen, to host the engagement ceremony for their daughter?
He Chen gently held He Miao’s hand and let her push him onto the stage personally. Then, in front of the cameras of the media, he smiled amiably and said, “I’m sure many of you here have heard of my story before 1 went abroad. It was no secret in our hometown at that time, but what you don’t know is that Miaomiao is actually the child of Ye Ning and me. She is my biological daughter!”
As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked and stunned on the spot. The cameras were shot at the two of them for a while before a reporter recovered from his shock. He raised his microphone and asked in disbelief, “When did you confirm that He Miao is your daughter? Have you already done a paternity test?”
“Yes.” He Chen calmly took He Miao’s hand and placed it in his palm to pat it comfortingly. He said, “Miaomiao is my only daughter. She is not related to the He family in the past. I have heard some rumors about Miaomiao being an illegitimate daughter. I hope that the people behind the scenes can recognize the truth and stop maliciously slandering my daughter.”
Everyone present knew who he was talking about.
Many people smelled a strong smell of gunpowder from it and quickly recorded this sentence. This was a rare piece of big news. Could it be that the He family was going to fight with He Feng because of his daughter?
Some reporters struck while the iron was hot, ready to dig up more news. They gathered their courage and asked, “Then may I ask if He Feng knows the truth behind all these years?”
If he did not know, then would He Feng not have become a scapegoat and raised his daughter for so many years for nothing?
This matter was too exciting. Since someone dared to ask in public, the others naturally pricked up their ears to hear how He Chen would answer later.
He Chen was not as nervous as they had imagined. His voice was gentle but powerful. “1 think you’ve misunderstood. Back then, my lover, Ye Ning, married He Feng when she was pregnant. He Feng knew about this, and he knew far more than I did. I only suspected that she was my daughter when I saw He Miao after I returned to the country this time.”
Everyone suddenly came to a realization. The He family’s withdrawal from the domestic market back then was huge. Everyone still remembered the noisy scene on the internet at that time, so they could naturally easily find the day He Chen left.
In addition, when He Chen was still in the hospital for emergency treatment, Ye Ning had already held a wedding with He Feng, so it could be completely ruled out that Ye Ning had an affair during marriage.
However, understanding the timeline was one thing, and truly understanding the reason behind it was another.
Since Ye Ning was already pregnant at the time, why would He Feng marry a pregnant woman when he knew the situation?
The motive behind this was somewhat inconceivable.
He Miao quietly observed their confused expressions on the stage. Suddenly, she smiled and said, “Actually, although He Feng seems to be at a disadvantage by marrying my mother, he actually got a lot of things..”
