Chapter 1780: Xiao Ying and Long Ming’s Ending (23)

The person who spoke was Xiao Ying. She was wearing a white short skirt and fresh and pretty makeup today, making her face look fair, tender and full of collagen. Her legs were wrapped in white muslin, appearing long and straight.

Compared to Liu Yiyi, who was dressed up tonight, Xiao Ying looked young and fas.h.i.+onable. She looked several years younger than Liu Yiyi.

She did not look like an older sister, but a younger sister.

Liu Yiyi looked at Xiao Ying, who was dressed like a little fairy, and suspected that she was doing it on purpose.

“Sister, what are you talking about? How was I heartless?” Liu Yiyi did not want to argue with Xiao Ying tonight. She hugged the Duke’s arm and pouted. “Dad, look at how Sister is talking about me like this.”

“Ying’er, please forgive Yiyi for whatever she did wrong.”

Xiao Ying smirked and did not say anything. She held Long Ming’s arm and entered the banquet hall.

Liu Yiyi glanced at Xiao Ying and Long Ming’s back, feeling both envious and jealous. She was also the daughter of the Duke, so why couldn’t she become Long Ming’s Princess Consort?

After announcing her ident.i.ty tonight, she would think of a way to separate Long Ming and Xiao Ying!

Before the banquet started, Xiao Ying walked in front of the Duke and said softly, “Dad, Mom is here.”

“Is your mom feeling better? Is she really here?”

Xiao Ying nodded. “Dad, come with me.”

Xiao Ying led the Duke out of the banquet hall. When Liu Yiyi, who was talking to Lou Lan and Li Yuan, saw this, she wanted to follow them but several socialites she did not know came over and greeted her.

Liu Yiyi had no choice but to deal with them first. However, she had some doubts in her heart. Why had Xiao Ying called the Duke away?

…

Xiao Ying brought the Duke to a lounge.

She did not beat around the bush and directly handed him a doc.u.ment. “Dad, take a look at this.”

The Duke opened the doc.u.ment and found that it was a paternity test report. He flipped to the end in confusion.

“Why are you letting me see this?”

“Dad, I took Mom’s hair and did a DNA test with another girl’s hair. You’ve seen the results. Mom and the girl are mother and daughter.”

The Duke thought to himself.

Did my wife have an illegitimate daughter outside?

Seeming to have seen through the Duke’s thoughts, Xiao Ying hurriedly explained, “Dad, this girl is Mom and your biological daughter. Liu Yiyi is an imposter!”

The Duke frowned and his gaze on Xiao Ying became sharper. “Ying’er, I know you don’t get along well with Yiyi, but you can’t slander your sister like this. I personally sent Yiyi’s paternity test to the testing center. It can’t be wrong!”

Xiao Ying had expected that the Duke would not believe her so easily. She clapped her hands and at this moment, the door to the lounge was pushed open and a figure in a white coat walked in.

The person who came in was the person in charge of the identification center and an old friend of the Duke. The samples sent by the Duke and Xiao Ying were all done by him.

“Old Shen, why are you here?”

Old Shen walked in front of the Duke and took out two sets of data from his bag. He said, “The hair of the girl you and Miss Ying sent over belongs to the same person.”

The Duke took the data from Old Shen and a.n.a.lyzed it. It was indeed from the same person.

Xiao Ying then played the recording of her conversation with the director of the orphanage to the Duke.

After hearing this, the Duke took a few steps back unsteadily.

He was not stupid, but he had missed his daughter too much. He had not expected Liu Yiyi to be so scheming or to be fake…”

“Dad, do you know why Mom’s condition worsened?” Xiao Ying handed a test report to the Duke. “Liu Yiyi put medicine in Mom’s medicine that made her hallucinate and have mental problems.”

Hearing this, the Duke almost fell to the ground.

…

The banquet officially started.

Liu Yiyi finally got rid of the socialites and was prepared to go out to find the Duke.

At this moment, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open and the Duke walked in with a cold expression.

Liu Yiyi went forward and called him ‘Dad’ but the Duke ignored her.

The Duke walked onto the stage and glanced at the banquet hall with the microphone. His gaze landed on Liu Yiyi for a moment.

Seeing the Duke looking at her, Liu Yiyi gave an innocent smile.

The Duke looked away and said a few words of grat.i.tude before he went straight to the point. “Today, I’m going to announce something important here…”

Liu Yiyi’s heart started to beat faster. She lifted her skirt and approached the stage proudly.

After the Duke announced her ident.i.ty, she would be the daughter of the Duke and a socialite.

Liu Yiyi was fantasizing about her beautiful life in the future when she suddenly heard a voice. “My daughter, Long Ying, is about to marry into the royal family. The royal family will announce the exact date to the public in the near future.”

Warm applause sounded.

Liu Yiyi froze on the spot.

Wasn’t he going to announce her ident.i.ty? Why was she talking about Xiao Ying and Long Ming’s wedding?

What?!

Xiao Ying was going to marry Long Ming? Then, wouldn’t she have no hope?

Liu Yiyi’s expression darkened and she was about to go on stage when the banquet hall suddenly fell into darkness.

Before Liu Yiyi could exclaim, her eyes were covered and her mouth was stuffed with something. Then, she was carried on someone’s shoulder.

Liu Yiyi’s heart almost jumped to her throat.

After a few minutes, Liu Yiyi was thrown to the ground and her bones almost broke.

Someone came over and pulled off her blindfold and the thing in her mouth.

When her vision returned to normal, Liu Yiyi found herself thrown into a lounge.

The lounge was empty apart from her.

Liu Yiyi stood up and was about to walk toward the door when the door to the lounge was pushed open and a bespectacled girl appeared in front of her.

Seeing the girl coming over, Liu Yiyi’s pupils constricted slightly.

Why was she here?

“Liu Yiyi?”

Liu Yiyi looked away. “I’m not Liu Yiyi. You’ve got the wrong person.” When she was young, she had heard from Xiao Mai that her family was rather rich, but she could not remember where she lived. Later, she took her jade pendant and when she saw the expression of the d.u.c.h.ess when she saw the jade pendant, she made a bold guess.

She knew that Xiao Mai had come here to work, so she bribed Xiao Mai’s landlord to get a strand of Xiao Mai’s hair for her. When the Duke sent someone to get her hair, she gave them the strand.

She had thought that she could replace Xiao Mai as the real daughter of the Duke without anyone knowing, but Xiao Mai had suddenly appeared here and recognized her.

When Liu Yiyi saw the ashtray on the coffee table, she picked it up and threw it at her head.

She had to make Xiao Mai take the blame for intentionally hurting people and put her in jail for the rest of her life!

At this moment, the lounge door was pushed open from outside.
