Chapter 519: Paternity Test
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What’s this?” Cheng Raohan was taken aback.
The other heads of the Cheng family also looked at the file in confusion and were unsure about what Ouyang Wei had brought over.
Ouyang Wei lowered her head and took a sip of tea. “Eldest Master Cheng, take a look and it will be clear.”
Cheng Raohan picked up the doc.u.ment and opened it.
This was an appraisal report.
A paternity test report.
The first person was Old Master Cheng.
The other person was…
Cheng Juan.
The result was…
Not related.
Seeing the results of this appraisal, Cheng Raohan couldn’t help but pause and enter a trance because of his disbelief. After two seconds, he was overjoyed. “No wonder, no wonder!”
Back then, he wondered why his father suddenly brought back an illegitimate child.
If Cheng Juan wasn’t his own son, things would be easily solved.
Cheng Raohan closed the file and bowed. “Miss Ouyang, you’ve really helped me a lot! I want to know what he has left after losing the status of Third Young Master!”
“I didn’t do much.” Ouyang Wei put down her teacup, glanced at them, and suppressed the ridicule in her eyes. “I would like to congratulate the Eldest Master for being the next heir of the Cheng family in advance.”
Cheng Raohan smiled proudly.
In the study, the rest of the people who saw the report also breathed a sigh of relief.
…
The next day.
Ting Lan.
Downstairs, Cheng Juan stood by the window and was on a call with Gu Xichi.
“Is my dad really not able to hold on much longer?” He couldn’t help but purse his lips as he watched the people come and go on the streets.
On the other end, Gu Xichi put down the research in his hands and frowned. “He has been battling hard for the past few years, and he’s indeed at the end of his life. He hurt his foundation sometime earlier and was able to live longer than Ran Ran’s grandma. It will be in the next two days.”
“I see.” Cheng Juan pursed his lips and hung up.
Qin Ran went downstairs wearing a beige coat.
“Where are you going?” Cheng Juan concealed his troubled expression and reached out to embrace her. He then lowered his head to look at her calmly.
“I’m going to the school to look for Big Brother Song first and then Lu Zhaoying.” Qin Ran looked at him sideways. “Mingyue is with him. I’m concerned about her.”
Lu Zhaoying was unclear over the phone.
Cheng Juan nodded.
He remembered Pan Mingyue. Since Qin Ran mentioned her, he also became serious. “I will send you to the hospital with Cheng Mu first. There’s something important in the Cheng family today.”
Cheng Wenru came to look for him yesterday. Qin Ran knew that, so she nodded.
The two of them set off.
Cheng Juan had never seen Song Luting, but he had looked him up before.
In the previous situation, Song Luting and Wei Zihang were able to protect Qin Ran and Pan Mingyue very well, so he trusted this person’s abilities.
After sending Qin Ran to school, he went to the Cheng family.
Today, the person driving was Cheng Mu as usual.
Cheng Mu glanced at the rearview mirror and did not dare to say anything.
Qin Ran and Song Luting agreed to meet at Beijing University.
The Mathematics Department.
When Qin Ran arrived, Song Luting was standing in front of the historic monument at the Mathematics Department.
Qin Ran was wearing a baseball cap. Recently, a few photos of her spread on the internet. She lost her aura of intimidation but gained a restrained vibe, so few people were able to recognize her.
However, many people were able to recognize Song Luting. Some girls were even discussing him excitedly.
“Big Brother Song.” Qin Ran walked to Song Luting’s side.
Song Luting did not say anything but stared quietly at the glorious monument.
Qin Ran followed his gaze.
She saw Pan Mingyue in the middle. Her face was sharp, cool, and charismatic, and her eyes were bright and warm.
“Senior Song, do you know Student G.o.d Pan as well?” Someone in the mathematics department recognized Song Luting and said excitedly. “Yes, you two go way back. You must know each other! As expected, the student G.o.ds know each other!”
After talking about this, the mathematics students paused and finally looked at Pan Mingxuan in pity. “Unfortunately, heaven is jealous of talents.”
Qin Ran did not say anything.
Pan Mingxuan was the same age as her, but she skipped grades in the sixth grade and won the gold medal in the IMO International Compet.i.tion in the third grade.
From then on, she won two more gold medals in the IMO International Compet.i.tion during her freshman and soph.o.m.ore years.
The deans of the Mathematics Department of Beijing University and University A talked to her, and he transferred to Beijing University in her third year.
Those under twenty could partic.i.p.ate in the IMO Compet.i.tion. Pan Mingxuan was the youngest to win a gold medal in the IMO Compet.i.tion, and once the news was out, it sent waves in the mathematics field.
The people in the Mathematics Department had heard about the outstanding history of Pan Mingxuan from the professors who taught her cla.s.ses.
Qin Ran couldn’t help but clench her fists after she heard what the people around her said. She turned to look at Song Luting. “Big Brother Song Luting, let’s look for Mingyue first.”
Song Luting glanced at the photo one last time and looked back in a daze.
He said softly, “Let’s go.”
…
The two of them left the Mathematics Department and went straight to Lu Zhaoying without saying a word.
Lu Zhaoying and Mother Lu were waiting downstairs.
The servants of the Lu family brought Qin Ran and Song Luting in.
Mother Lu knew that Qin Ran was Tang Jun’s granddaughter. Looking at Qin Ran, she was a little nervous. She turned to look at Song Luting and was startled as well. Song Luting’s name had been greatly praised in Beijing recently.
Song Luting politely greeted Mother Lu and Lu Zhaoying.
“Ran Ran, you’re finally here!” Lu Zhaoying touched his earrings. He seemed to be in a bad mental state and glanced upstairs. “Sister Mingyue is in the guest room. I will take you up. She didn’t let me tell you, but I think I should. She’s not in a good condition.”
It was inconvenient to say that over the phone as Pan Mingyue told him to hide it from Qin Ran.
Lu Zhaoying glanced at Song Luting and did not recognize who this gentle and handsome man was. However, he did not think much about it.
The three of them went upstairs.
Lu Zhaoying opened the door.
The room was very dark. Pan Mingyue was holding a book. She buried her head in her knees and continuously turned the pages.
“Mingyue, what are you doing?” Qin Ran’s expression changed as she walked over.
Pan Mingyue looked up blankly. “Inspector. I want to investigate the inspector.”
Qin Ran’s eyes were red. She clenched her fists tightly and could almost see Pan Mingyue’s lifeless appearance in the mental hospital.
After the death of her relatives, Pan Mingyue was in a bad state. Some time ago, Pan Mingyue’s wish was to be a photographer, but after that, her only wish was to investigate the inspector.
However, Mingyue had already returned to normal some time ago.
Qin Ran looked at Lu Zhaoying and asked, “What happened?”
