Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Bring About One’s Own Destruction
Song Shuyan was stunned: “Amniocentesis? Non-invasive DNA? Why are you having do these two tests?”
Huo Tingdong said: “You keep insisting that this child is mine, so I have to do a paternity test to confirm it! Otherwise, why should I believe that this child is mine?”
Song Shuyan agreed without hesitation!
This is the best opportunity to prove herself.
“Alright.”
Song Shuyan said: “Then…”
Huo Tingdong said: “I’ve already arranged everything, just follow the procedure.”
After speaking, he lifted his wrist to check the ti: “I have sothing else to take care of, so I must go now.”
Song Shuyan felt a surge of nervousness: “Aren’t you going to stay… and accompany to do it?”
She saw Lin Qi go for prenatal exams, always with Huo Tingdong by her side.
Huo Tingdong said: “I need to go back and be with my wife.”
In front of Song Shuyan, he had already changed his terms, referring to Lin Qi as “my wife,” no longer ntioning her na.
After all, Song Shuyan should know who his wife is.
Huo Tingdong paused and then told Song Shuyan: “You can take good care of yourself.”
Song Shuyan was montarily at a loss for words.
Just because she’s sensible and can take good care of herself, he doesn’t care about her anymore?
Song Shuyan said: “Actually… won aren’t that fragile during pregnancy. She just wants you to be with her because she is being fussy, as long as you follow scientific prenatal care, there won’t be so much discomfort.”
Huo Tingdong said: “It’s not that she is fragile, but that I want to be with her. She’s resting today and I’m worried she’d feel lonely alone at ho.”
Song Shuyan said: “You… why do you spoil her so much?”
How much does he love her to cherish her this way?
Song Shuyan had been deceiving herself, brainwashing herself into believing that Huo Tingdong was only nice to Lin Qi because she was pregnant, and that he was willing to reconcile with her, not out of love.
Huo Tingdong retorted: “She is my wife, isn’t it natural for to adore her, spoil her, and love her?”
Song Shuyan said: “Is it because you love her, or is it because… she gave birth to your child?”
Huo Tingdong chuckled: “If I were to love a woman just because she gave birth to my child, do you think my love would be that cheap? Any woman can give birth, but does that an I should love every woman? Heh.”
Song Shuyan was left speechless again.
Huo Tingdong clearly found her speculation ridiculously funny.
Perhaps, Song Shuyan thought he loved Lin Qi because she had given birth to two sons for him, so she desperately tried to emulate that, attempting to use the child to secure his affection.
It was nothing but wishful thinking!
Huo Tingdong didn’t bother with further idle talk and turned to leave.
Song Shuyan suddenly felt empty inside, but then she thought, perhaps it’s because she hasn’t presented any real evidence!
After all, her claims were baseless, insisting the child is his without proof, so his belief wasn’t strong enough.
Once he sees the evidence, he should believe that the child is indeed his.
By then, he will surely pay more attention to her and the child, won’t he?
Thinking this, Song Shuyan imdiately followed the procedure.
After the Down’s screening, her child appeared to be developing healthily, so she underwent amniocentesis and non-invasive DNA testing, and the samples were promptly sent to the lab for comparison.
It took nearly a week for the comparison.
Soon, the report was ready.
Mo Ke received a call from the testing center, imdiately collected the completed report, and delivered it to the president’s office.
Huo Tingdong took the report, opened it, and extracted the report pages.
Mo Ke reported from the sidelines, “The sample taken from Song Shuyan was compared with the blood and hair samples of that man, and it’s confird, this man is the biological father of the child.”
Huo Tingdong glanced over it.
The report’s results were crystal clear.
The man called “Liu San” is indeed the true father of Song Shuyan’s child.
Huo Tingdong found it ironic upon seeing this.
He put down the report and wanted to laugh, his lips curling into a smirk, but then he felt it was tragic, montarily unsure whether it was Song Shuyan or her unborn child who was more pitiable.
The child is innocent.
One could only say, heaven’s acts can be forgiven, but one’s own misdeeds are lethal.
Mo Ke asked, “Should we tell her the results personally?”
Huo Tingdong countered, “You an Song Shuyan?”
Mo Ke nodded, “Yes. I think, once the child is born, the truth will co out. If she knew the truth, she would definitely go crazy and certainly not want the child.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Even if I told her this result, she wouldn’t believe it. I don’t have the energy to entangle with her. She was the one who insisted on having this child. Now that it has been confird, I have no further concerns.”
He felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation, and therefore had no interest in how to deal with Song Shuyan’s situation.
One must bear the consequences of their own actions, and people should be responsible for themselves rather than expecting others to take responsibility for them.
He had already spoken harshly and warned her multiple tis; she would bear the consequences.
Huo Tingdong handed the report to Mo Ke, “Put it away, keep it in the safe.”
Mo Ke took it, “Yes.”
Suddenly, the cellphone rang.
Huo Tingdong picked up the phone; it was Lin Qi calling: “Husband, do you need to work overti today?”
Huo Tingdong’s tone imdiately softened, “I’ll finish work on ti today. Why, is there anything you’d like to eat?”
While holding the phone, he picked up a stack of project reports and began reviewing them.
Lin Qi said, “A colleague is celebrating their birthday; they want to go singing, asking if you’d like to join?”
Huo Tingdong asked, “Singing? Where at?”
Lin Qi said, “It seems like a warehouse-style KTV.”
Huo Tingdong repeated, “Warehouse-style KTV?”
Lin Qi explained, “Yeah, she invited a dozen colleagues, including and you it’s fifteen people in total, and booked a presidential suite. This colleague usually takes good care of us. When I just joined the firm, she was really nice to and willing to teach anything I didn’t understand.”
Otherwise, she wouldn’t want to go.
Huo Tingdong said, “Alright, if you want to go, I’ll accompany you.”
“Okay, then pick up from the project departnt after work, and we’ll go together.”
“Sure.”
After hanging up the phone, Mo Ke asked, “Was that a call from Mada?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Her colleague is celebrating their birthday, treating people to a al and singing.”
Mo Ke abruptly asked, “Mr. Huo, I rember, you sing very well.”
Huo Tingdong raised an eyebrow, “How do you know that?”
Mo Ke said, “I heard it from President Qi.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Speaking of singing, Xiuyuan sings the best.”
Ji Xiuyuan grew up with him since childhood, and after growing up, he was admitted to Central Music’s pop music program, a musical prodigy. As a result, with his superior looks, he broke into the circle, signed with a talent agency, and debuted as an actor under the stage na “Chi Junxi”.
Therefore, last ti when Huo Tingdong heard Lin Qi say her idol was Chi Junxi, that was why he was so annoyed!
