Chapter 455: Chapter 455: I Only Acknowledge The Child You Gave Birth To_1
“As for Dongfang Hen…” Dongfang Zujie said with a grim tone, “You know, he was an accident. Neither of us expected that woman to bare his child. Even now, I still don’t understand how he came into being.”
Indeed, Dongfang Zujie was always uncertain about Dongfang Hen’s existence.
The woman claimed he was conceived after a drunken stupor.
Yet, even if he was drunk, he should have had some recollection of the encounter.
He always felt he never had any intimate relations with her, but he wasn’t entirely sure.
Even if the woman was pregnant with his child, he still harbored doubts…
He initially thought Dongfang Hen was not his kid, but a paternity test revealed the truth!
Dongfang Zujie was baffled and was forced to admit; perhaps, he did do something in a drunken state that he shouldn’t have.
However, what’s done was done, the child was born, and it was impossible to murder him now.
But he wasn’t going to allow their existence to disrupt his relationship with He Meilian.
Given that the woman was inherently evil, Dongfang Zujie used tactics to force her to leave.
He thought he wouldn’t have to see them again in this lifetime…
Yet unexpectedly, Dongfang Hen still appeared.
Back then, the woman herself had named the child.
A name with ‘Hen’ in it.
No mother would name her child this, yet she did. It was clear what she meant; she hated them and wanted her child to hate them for the rest of his life.
It was clear how deep her hatred ran…
It’s also obvious that Dongfang Hen probably hated them too.
Dongfang Zujie reassured her again, “Meilian, I told you, I only acknowledge the child you gave birth to! Dongfang Hen may be my child, but I have no emotional attachment to him. His mother hates us a lot, and I am sure he absolutely despises us too. Therefore, his return is certainly not plain and simple—that’s why I want to keep him around to observe closely. Moreover, I promise you, if he dares to hurt you, I will never spare him!”
He Meilian wasn’t as distressed after hearing his reassurance.
She understood and said, “Zujie, actually, I don’t blame you for anything. It’s just that I can’t help but mind. I know you didn’t do it intentionally back then. I don’t hate this child, but it still saddens me.”
“I understand, I know it all!” Dongfang Zujie pulled her tight, offering her soothing words, “Even if you blame me, it is justified. I’m even more furious at myself! Meilian, I’m sorry for bringing harm to you again.”
He Meilian chuckled, “I’ll be fine… I’m just worried about Yuyu, I’m afraid he might never come back.”
“He will. As long as we haven’t found him, there is hope. Our child wouldn’t get into trouble that easily. We have to believe in him!”
“Yes!” He Meilian nodded, feeling a surge of hope in her heart.
And so, Dongfang Hen moved into the Dongfang Mansion.
Dongfang Zujie also arranged work for him—a not-so-important position, which did not bother Dongfang Hen. He took his job seriously and performed remarkably.
Hai Xiaotang learned about Dongfang Hen’s background as well.
She didn’t feel much about it. She was not interested in the past feuds of Dongfang Yu’s parents.
Her only concern was when Dongfang Yu would return.
Besides, everyday Hai Xiaotang would learn to cook and continue her architecture studies.
Dongfang Yu said she was talented and shouldn’t let it go to waste. Therefore, she heeded to his words and studied diligently.
He Meilian, who had witnessed several of her architectural designs, was much impressed.
Even she subtly mentioned…
