Gu Nianzhi nodded hurriedly, and said, “Dad, I definitely would not have gone to another place for a DNA test. When I was there, Huo Shao and the others a.s.signed me a specialist doctor. I’ve never gone to another place for a doctor before.”
Speaking up to this point, Gu Nianzhi suddenly remembered the time when she had been in an accident in Germany. Reinitz seemed to have sent her to a German hospital for an infusion.
She closed her eyes and decided not to think about it for the time being. She looked intently at Lu Jin and said coquettishly, “Dad, hurry up and give me a test! I can’t wait any longer!”
Lu Jin heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at her in confusion and asked,”… just because of Wen Shouyi, you want to test the DNA between you and Qin Yaoguang? But you two look so much alike…”
“I’m just curious. Wen Shouyi and I look nothing like each other. Even if we have the same mother, we could never be half-sisters,” Gu Nianzhi said matter-of-factly. She even compared the photos of the daughters of the Qin family that she had found with Huo Shaoheng.
“Look, these are Qin Yaoguang’s two cousins who have lived to adulthood. This is Luo Piaopiao, and this is Wen Shouyi’s photo from before… are they really a family?”
“Look at the photos of me and Qin Yaoguang again…” Gu Nianzhi said. He pointed at the two photos below and continued, “Although they look similar, Qin Yaoguang was also Wen Shouyi’s mother. This doesn’t make sense to me. How could she have given birth to a daughter with Wen Shouyi’s looks? Even if she really did, then Qin Yaoguang should look similar to her cousin. Unfortunately, she doesn’t. She doesn’t look like them at all!”
“You see what a huge contradiction this is, don’t you? I’m afraid that even genetic theory can’t explain it, right?”
Gu Nianzhi looked at Lu Jin in antic.i.p.ation. She harbored great hope and had complete trust in him.
Lu Jin looked away. Then he replied, “Okay, I’ll do the test, for you.”
“Yay! Dad, you’re the best!” Gu Nianzhi stood on her tiptoes and kissed Lu Jin on the cheek.
Lu Jin patted her head, and said, “You can go out first. I’m busy here and you won’t understand.”
“Okay! I won’t interfere with Daddy’s work anymore!” Gu Nianzhi chirped, then happily left Lu Jin’s lab.
…
Gu Nianzhi was in a good mood when she returned to her apartment.
She couldn’t help but pose and dance her way into the living room like a joyful ballerina.
Huo Shaoheng was sitting in the living room with his back to the door. When he heard the sound, he turned around and saw Gu Nianzhi dancing.
Even though she wasn’t very good at dancing, a lover’s eyes could see beauty. Huo Shaoheng was watching her with great interest. He couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Gu Nianzhi twirled her way to Huo Shaoheng and stuck out a hand confidently like a white swan.
Huo Shaoheng smiled and held her hand. He planted a kiss on the back of her hand and gently pulled her into his lap.
“Look at you, all happy.”
“Yes, my father has agreed to do the paternity test for me! If it proves that I’m not related to Qin Yaoguang by birth….then, aha!” Gu Nianzhi was beaming with joy as she spoke, like a little bird that had broken free from its shackles.
It was obvious that even though she had said that she did not treat Qin Yaoguang as her biological mother, she still felt a certain amount of psychological pressure.
As a child, she could not choose her own parents. There was nothing she could do about it.
But what if she was not her biological mother?
Huo Shaoheng smiled and reminded her,”… Don’t forget, you were born by her. Don’t be too confident about the outcome.”
“… So what if she was born by herself?!”Gu Nianzhi retorted nonchalantly. “Wen Shouyi was born by someone else, but it turned out to be Qin Yaoguang’s. How could I not be in the same situation?”
“You’re saying that you were born to Qin Yaoguang, but your biological mother could be someone else?”Huo Shaoheng was deep in thought. He muttered, “That’s not impossible…”
“That’s one of the possibilities!” Gu Nianzhi nodded resolutely. “I didn’t have any doubts at first. After all, I was indeed ‘born’ by her.”
Gu Nianzhi emphasized the word ‘born’ to indicate that it was a verb.
“… and I look so much like her. Who would suspect that their parents, who look so much like them, aren’t their own biological parents?”
That was until her looks made people suspicious.
But Gu Nianzhi was suspicious of her looks. She didn’t come from Qin Yaoguang.
She didn’t even doubt Qin Yaoguang herself.
Her suspicion of her looks started with Luo Piaopiao.
This girl was like a ray of light, s.h.i.+ning into the dark and obscure history.
After investigating the looks of the Qin girls, Gu Nianzhi felt even more out of place.
Qin Yaoguang did not have the unique facial features of the Qin girls, the flat nose.
However, Wen Shouyi, who she had given birth to, had one.
A high nose bridge was a dominant inheritance, while a flat nose was a recessive genetic trait. Therefore, both parents should have a flat nose to give birth to a child with a flat nose.
One side had a high nose bridge, while the other side had a flat nose. It was very likely that the child would have a high nose bridge.
Gu Nianzhi had come to this conclusion when she had accidentally discovered that Wen Shouyi and Luo Piaopiao looked the same.
She had thus discovered the truth about Wen Shouyi’s background.
Now that the DNA test had proved that Wen Shouyi was Qin Yaoguang’s biological daughter, it was also very likely that Qin Yaoguang had a flat nose bridge!
Although there were exceptions to everything, and it was impossible for such a deduction to be 100% accurate, the probability was very high.
Gu Nianzhi wrapped her arms around Huo Shaoheng’s neck and smiled. She licked and pursed her luscious lips repeatedly, causing others’ thoughts to go wild.
She spoke quickly and hurriedly, as clear and melodious as gla.s.s beads falling on a jade plate.
“… Judging from Wen Shouyi’s looks, it’s very likely that both her biological parents have flat noses!”
Huo Shaoheng leaned back on the sofa and said calmly, “But Qin Yaoguang doesn’t.”
“In terms of probability, perhaps she happens to have the lowest probability, which means that a child with a high and flat nose has a flat nose.” Gu Nianzhi did not deny this possibility, and continued, “But we can’t give up the highest probability just because of the lowest probability. That’s why I must test the relations.h.i.+p between me and Qin Yaoguang!”
Huo Shaoheng smiled as he leaned over and nuzzled Gu Nianzhi’s delicate nose. He teased, “What are you implying? Is there something wrong with Qin Yaoguang’s appearance? Is she also a surrogate?”
Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly. “I didn’t say anything. I just asked Dad to test the paternity test!”
Her excitement only lasted until the next day. When Lu Jin brought the test results over, he said regretfully, “Nianzhi, Qin Yaoguang is indeed your biological mother.”
He placed the DNA test results in front of Gu Nianzhi and patted her shoulder regretfully. He didn’t even notice Huo Shaoheng, who was sitting next to Gu Nianzhi. He didn’t say anything and turned to leave.
Gu Nianzhi felt as if she had been splashed with a bucket of cold water. She didn’t recover for a long time.
Huo Shaoheng sat next to her and didn’t know what to say.
She stared at the DNA test results in front of her and wished she could shred them into pieces and throw them into the sea.
In the silence, Gu Nianzhi’s phone rang.
She didn’t want to answer it. Huo Shaoheng glanced at the screen and saw that it was He Zhichu. He didn’t want to remind Gu Nianzhi to answer the phone either.
However, the other party did not give up. After a full five minutes of unrelenting phone calls, Gu Nianzhi finally took a look at the phone screen.
She took the phone and swiped to answer the call with a solemn expression. She answered the call softly.
He Zhichu was not in a good mood. He asked, “Nianzhi, what are you doing? Why haven’t you answered the call for so long?”
“It wasn’t convenient just now,” Gu Nianzhi said rigidly, “is anything the matter, Young Master He?”
He Zhichu sensed that Gu Nianzhi was also not in a good mood. Thinking that she already knew, he said,”… you also know, right? Wen Shouyi just picked up Old Man Qin from the detention center.”
Gu Nianzhi immediately came back to her senses and almost jumped up from the sofa. “What did you say?! Old Man Qin was picked up by Wen Shouyi from the detention center? ! What is the He family doing?! He’s trying to harm you, Young Master He! How could you let him go?!”
Even though Gu Nianzhi was complaining and criticizing their family, He Zhichu’s mood miraculously improved.
He could tell from Gu Nianzhi’s anxious tone that she genuinely cared and was concerned about him.
Even if this kind of care and concern was not what he wanted, it was still better than her aloof att.i.tude and indifference towards him.
Nianzhi, whom he treated like a treasure, would not be so heartless.
She had always been a warm-hearted and sincere little girl.
He Zhichu smiled slowly. “Our country is a legal society. No matter how powerful our He family is, we cannot violate the law.”
“Yesterday, Old Man Qin turned 80 in the detention center. According to the law, those over 80 years old have a certain level of immunity.”
“More importantly, he was unconscious the entire time. Wen Shouyi also took out evidence and put all the blame on Qin Yaoguang, so Old Man Qin could only be acquitted.”
He Zhichu spoke confidently, “Or, we can arrest him again when we find more evidence. But now, we can only release him. But I’ve applied for an injunction to leave the country. He and the Qin family cannot leave the country.”
Gu Nianzhi clutched her chest, her head spinning from Wen Shouyi’s actions.
“She, she, she… She’s letting Qin Yaoguang take the blame?!”
How was that possible?
Wen Shouyi was Qin Yaoguang’s biological daughter. Didn’t she secretly test her own DNA?!
Gu Nianzhi had proposed in court to test the relations.h.i.+p between Qin Yaoguang and Wen Shouyi, and Wen Shouyi wasn’t locked up. If she was Wen Shouyi, she wouldn’t have been able to wait for the court to conclude. She would have had to secretly test her own DNA!
What exactly had happened that she did not know?!
Gu Nianzhi could not help complaining to Zhichu,”… she and Qin Yaoguang could be biological mother and daughter!”
Wen Shouyi was eager to climb up the social ladder and get rid of her family background. How could she let Qin Yaoguang, her n.o.ble biological mother, take all the blame?!
He Zhichu said slowly, “It’s not a possibility. They are biological mother and daughter.”
Gu Nianzhi would not reveal that she had secretly done a paternity test on the two of them. She said in surprise,”… I was right?!”
“Yes.”He Zhichu smiled. “You may not know this, but Wen Shouyi did a paternity test on her own and went to the detention center in advance to claim her mother. In the end, her mother beat her so badly that her mother refused to acknowledge her.
