Ye Jinchen broke out in a cold sweat, and imdiately spoke up, "Mom, don't misunderstand. Dad really has sothing to tell you, but you absolutely cannot get agitated."
Gu Qi let out a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a love child, she wouldn't have to chop him up and throw him into the river.
She shot Ye Junli a glance. "Alright, out with it. What's with all the secrecy?"
Ye Junli looked at the docunts in his hand, then handed them over to Gu Qi.
"My dear wife, take a look at this first."
Gu Qi eyed Ye Junli suspiciously, then accepted the docunts. The words "Paternity Test" were clearly printed on the cover.
Gu Qi felt puzzled. A paternity test? Whose paternity test?
With doubts in her mind, she began reading the report.
Until she reached the end: "Based on the available information and DNA analysis, the results support that Ye Junli is the biological father of Xu Wanwan, and do not support that Ye Junli is the biological father of Ye Jinng."
Gu Qi's hands trembled, and the report dropped to the floor.
"This... how is this possible?" Gu Qi looked at Ye Junli, as if seeking confirmation from him.
Ye Junli nodded. He walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Qi, Wanwan is our daughter, but ngng..."
Gu Qi burst into tears. "How can this be? How can ngng not be our daughter?"
These words were overheard by Ye Jinng, who was humming a tune as she approached the hospital room door, intending to co in.
Ye Jinng's hand paused as she reached for the doorknob, and the smile froze on her face.
I'm not my parents' daughter? What does that an?
The conversation inside the hospital room continued.
"It's true, Qi."
Gu Qi looked at the calm Ye Jinchen, seeming to understand sothing. "What's going on here? You two knew about this?"
Ye Junli sighed and recounted everything that had happened after receiving the mysterious docunts.
"I personally sent the samples to the testing facility for this paternity test, and it was absolutely legitimate. There's no room for error."
Gu Qi collapsed into a chair.
"Mom!" Ye Jinchen felt sympathy for her. This was indeed a trendous shock for a mother.
"Why did this happen?" Gu Qi appeared dazed.
Ye Junli shook his head. "I had people look into it, but it's been too long. They couldn't find any concrete evidence. However, based on the available evidence, the speculation is that Xu Wanwan's foster mother intentionally switched the babies..."
Ye Junli didn't finish his sentence, but Gu Qi could naturally understand the implication.
And Ye Jinng, who had read so many novels, was no stranger to the cliché plot of intentionally switching babies to give one's own child a life of luxury.
Ye Jinng took a few disbelieving steps backward, her back hitting the corridor wall. Her eyes reddened, and she trembled as she covered her mouth, afraid of letting out a sob.
She never expected that the clichéd, lodramatic plots from novels would happen in her own life.
It turned out that she had usurped Wanwan's life for over a decade, taking all the glory and riches that should have belonged to Wanwan, because of her birth mother's selfishness.
Ye Jinng felt all the strength drain from her body, her legs shaking. If not for the wall supporting her back, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Leaning against the wall, struggling to hold herself up, she felt short of breath, wanting to flee from this place as soon as possible.
Her head was spinning, as if she had lost all ability to think. She relied solely on instinct as she took one step after another, dazed and disoriented, waiting for the elevator, getting on the elevator, and leaving the hospital.
Ye Jinng didn't know where to go now, just continuing to walk aimlessly down the road.
She was afraid to return to school, afraid to face Wanwan, afraid that Wanwan would hate her for taking everything that was rightfully hers.
She was afraid to go ho, fearing that her parents and grandparents would despise her for usurping Wanwan's life.
At that mont, her phone vibrated with a new ssage. Ye Jinng's trembling hands opened it.
It was Wanwan replying to her earlier ssage.
Wanwan: Sorry ngng, I just got out of class and saw your ssage.
Wanwan: Are you coming back to the dorm tonight? Or going straight ho? Stay safe, okay?
Ye Jinng couldn't hold back any longer and broke down, crouching on the ground and sobbing uncontrollably.
Why was Wanwan being so kind to her, when she had done so many things to wrong her?
In her past life, she had hurt Wanwan, and in this life, she had even usurped Wanwan's life.
She was truly despicable!
Ye Jinng wanted to send Xu Wanwan a ssage to apologize, but her fingers kept trembling, unable to type a single word.
She could only hold back her sobs and press the voice recording button.
"Wanwan, I'm so sorry... Wanwan, I'm so sorry..." Her cries still slipped out, and she accidentally sent the voice ssage when she released her finger.
Inside the hospital room, the others were unaware that Ye Jinng had been there, and continued their conversation.
"This whole situation, Wanwan's foster parents have already passed away, so we have no way to hold them accountable. But the children are innocent." Ye Junli was actually quite afraid that his wife would bla ngng for this.
However, Gu Qi said, "Of course I know the children are innocent. I'm the mother, and I know ngng best. Wanwan is also well-behaved and sensible. They're both my daughters, whether they're biologically mine or not. What does it matter? I'm happy to have two daughters!"
Ye Junli and Ye Jinchen exchanged a glance, both relieved.
At that mont, Auntie Chen entered from outside. "Madam, I've brought dinner."
"The master is here too. Perfect, I made plenty today, so we can all eat together."
She looked around. "Oh, where is the young miss?"
Ye Junli frowned. "ngng went to school, didn't she? She's not here."
Auntie Chen furrowed her brow. "That can't be right. When I was driving over, I saw the young miss walking into the hospital. After I parked the car, I was worried I hadn't brought enough food, so I bought so stead buns from the nearby shop."
"Auntie Chen, are you sure you didn't mistake soone else for her?" Ye Jinchen asked.
"Impossible. I recognized the little satchel she was carrying – I made it for her myself. There's no way I could be mistaken," Auntie Chen said with certainty.
The people in the hospital room exchanged glances, seeming to understand sothing.
"Oh no!" Ye Junli slapped his forehead. "Did she overhear sothing?"
Gu Qi quickly took out her phone and called Ye Jinng, afraid that the child might not be able to handle the truth and do sothing reckless.
Auntie Chen looked on in bewildernt at the flustered group, unsure of what was happening.
However, the voice that ca from Gu Qi's phone was a chanical female voice: "Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off. Please try again later."
Ye Jinchen said anxiously, "Dad, quick, send soone to look for her!"
At that mont, Xu Wanwan's call ca in, and Ye Jinchen answered, "Wei, Wanwan, is Jinng with you?"
After hearing the voice ssage, Xu Wanwan felt that sothing was off. Since Jinng's phone was already turned off, she imdiately called Ye Jinchen. Upon hearing Ye Jinchen's words, she panicked.
"Brother Ye, Jinng just sent a voice ssage saying 'sorry,' and then I couldn't reach her anymore. Did she find out about the paternity test?"
