Chapter 513 – Paternity Testing!
Noon.
Dong Xuebing is speaking to Liu Chenlong over the phone outside a Yan Tai County restaurant.
“Xiao Dong, I had booked a private room on the third floor. 306.”
“Ok. I am downstairs now and will be going up now. Oh, I have two friends with me….”
“Haha… come up together. I will order a few more dishes.”
“I’m so sorry about this. I happened to meet them outside.”
“It’s fine. Your friends are my friends too.”
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing looks at Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian. They were standing beside the car nervously.
“Mum.” Yu Qianqian held her mother’s hand tightly. “I’m… I’m scared….”
Yu Meixia bit her lips and look at Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Bing, we… we are not going up.”
Dong Xuebing smiled wearily. “Why did you change your mind when we are almost here? Don’t you want to meet your biological parents?”
“But… he might not be my father.”
“It’s fine even if he is not your father. There’s nothing wrong meeting him.”
“I am not ready. We will go back first.” Yu Meixia held her daughter’s hand and walked away.
Dong Xuebing knows Yu Meixia must have complicated feelings after being separated from her parents for so many years. “Alright. I will not force you. You might not remember what happened because you were very young when you got separated from your parents. But your parents will never forget about you. How would you feel if Qianqian got separated from you? You should know how your parents feel when they lost you. You can decide whether if you want to meet him or not.”
“Then… can I…”
“What?”
Yu Meixia bit her lips. “We have DNA testing now. Can we… we wait until the paternity test result first?”
“Yes, but we need his DNA.”
Yu Meixia begged Dong Xuebing with her eyes. “Xiao Bing, this is too sudden, and I am not prepared. Can… we wait for the DNA result to confirm before Qianqian and I….” Yu Qianqian is also looking at Dong Xuebing nervously.
Dong Xuebing sighed. “Alright. You all can wait for me in the car.”
Testing their DNA is also a good idea. At least there will not be any misunderstanding.
Dong Xuebing went upstairs to the private room, and Liu Chenlong walks over to welcome him.
“You are here. Eh? Where are your friends?”
“They had something on and left.”
“Haha… have a seat. I will get them to serve the food.”
Dong Xuebing asked Liu Chenlong why he visited Fen Zhou City during the meal, and his answer shocked him.
Liu Chenlong laughed. “The company has some internal restructuring, and I am transferred to Fen Zhou City.”
Dong Xuebing asked. “A power company?”
Liu Chenlong nodded. “Fen Zhou City Power Company’s General Manager.”
“General Manager? The No.1 of the company?” Dong Xuebing quickly raises his gla.s.s. “Congratulations. Here’s a toast.”
“It’s a same-level transfer, and I am going to retire soon. This is considered my retirement home… hahaha….”
After several rounds of restructuring, all power supply companies are state-owned enterprises. But most people still call Fen Zhou City Power Company Fen Zhou City Power Electric Power Bureau. Liu Chenlong’s position as the General Manager is equivalent to the City’s Electric Power Bureau Chief. His rank is much higher than Dong Xuebing, and it is a critical City Department.
Dong Xuebing could guess many things from Liu Chenlong’s transfer. His first guess is Liu Chenlong should be here for his ex-wife, Qian Lihua. Dong Xuebing can tell he still has feelings and wants to reunite with her. She is Fen Zhou City’s ICBC branch President. He should have purposely transferred here to get closer to her.
The lunch lasted slightly more than one hour.
As both were driving, they did not drink alcohol. Before they left, Dong Xuebing secretly kept Liu Chenlong’s gla.s.s in a plastic bag.
“Uncle Liu, please drive carefully.”
“Alright. I will be going. Come and find me when you are at the City.”
“Sure.”
Dong Xuebing stood there and watched Liu Chenlong drives away before turning to his car. He saw Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian, who were in his car, looking towards Liu Chenlong’s direction.
Dong Xuebing boarded his car and asked. “How is it? Can you recall anything?”
Yu Meixia shook her head. “I don’t know. I was too young then and can’t remember anything.”
Dong Xuebing sense Yu Meixia is very nervous and patted her hand. “It’s alright. I have his DNA with me, and I will get someone to test it. Give me a strand of your hair.
Yu Meixia tugged her hair and pulled out a few strands.
Dong Xuebing called Deputy Team Leader Feng to send his men over to collect the samples. If he goes to the hospital, he got to wait for a long time. Furthermore, he doesn’t have Liu Chenlong’s identification, and the hospital will not conduct the test without both parties’ approval. So, he looked for Old Feng. Everything is easier if you know someone within the system.
Afternoon.
Hua Mei Estate.
Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian sat in front of the TV listlessly after they got home.
Dong Xuebing looks at them and smiles. “Sister Yu, this is a good thing. Why are you two so worried?”
Yu Meixia put her hands together and forced a smile.
Dong Xuebing is amused. “Don’t be so nervous. Do you have any dance music CDs? Teach me how to dance.”
When Yu Meixia was about to play the CD, Dong Xuebing’s phone rang!
Yu Meixia’s face turns pale, and she looks over with Yu Qianqian.
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and answered. “h.e.l.lo, Old Feng.”
Feng Lei replied in a soft voice. “Xuebing. I am at the hospital now, and the result is out.”
“How is it?” Dong Xuebing was still teasing Sister Yu for being nervous earlier, and his heart is pounding hard now.
Feng Lei cleared his throat. “It’s a match, and I can confirm both samples are from parent and child.”
Dong Xuebing’s eyelid twitched. “Are you sure?”
“It’s 99.99% accurate.”
“Alright. Thanks, Old Feng.”
“Don’t mention it.”
“Oh, please keep this a secret and don’t let anyone else knows about this.”
“Don’t worry.” Feng Lei doesn’t know who had provided these two DNA samples and did not ask anything.
Yu Meixia asked anxiously after Dong Xuebing puts down his phone. “What is the result?”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “It’s a match. He is your father.”
Yu Meixia bit her lips, and her tears rolled down her cheeks. “My father… father….” She hugged Qianqian and cried.
Yu Qianqian was not crying but started after she saw her mother’s tears.
Dong Xuebing is speechless. “Sister Yu. Don’t teach your daughter to cry at the slightest thing. Haha…”
A few minutes later, Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian calmed down.
“Xiao Bing.” Yu Meixia is confused. “What… what should I do?”
Dong Xuebing replied helplessly. “What else can you do other than reuniting with him? You have wanted to meet them, right?”
“But it’s been so many years. I am afraid….” Yu Meixia paused for a second and asked. “Can you tell me more about them?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “I don’t know much either. After they lost you when you are five, Uncle Liu had been searching for you all over China for years. After that, he got addicted to alcohol, and your mother cannot stand it. They got divorced. I have not met your mother, and I know she is Fen Zhou City’s ICBC Branch President. Your father will also be coming to Fen Zhou City for work. He is Fen Zhou City Power Company’s General Manager.”
Yu Qianqian asked softly. “My grandfather is a high-ranking official? Is he even higher rank than Uncle?”
Dong Xuebing patted her head. “Yes. His rank is much higher than mine. But State-owned enterprise is different from the government service. You just need to know that your grandfather is a prominent figure in Fen Zhou City. Even our County’s Party Secretary got to be respectful towards him.”
Yu Qianqian nodded.
Yu Meixia wiped her tears. “Then what should I….”
Dong Xuebing is defeated. “How many times do you want to ask? Never mind. I don’t want to care about this. You will decide for yourself. If you want to meet them, I will bring you to them now. If you think you are not ready, you can wait until you are ready. Anyway, it’s been years since you all are separated. A few days won’t matter much.”
Yu Meixia nodded. “Then I… let me think about it first.”
Dong Xuebing had fulfilled Sister Yu’s wish to find her biological parents and is in a good mood. He lit a cigarette and reached under Sister Yu’s dress when Qianqian went to the toilet. She is not wearing stockings, and he caressed the meaty thighs.
Yu Meixia blushed and quickly looked towards the toilet. “Don’t…”
Dong Xuebing whispered. “Let me touch you a while more. You are going to be General Manager Liu and ICBC Branch President’s daughter soon. I might not get the chance to touch you again. If your parents know about our relations.h.i.+p, they might kill me. Haha…” Although it’s a joke, he still felt disappointed after saying it.
Yu Meixia whispered. “It won’t happen.”
“What did you say?”
“No matter what happens in the future, I will….” Yu Meixia felt embarra.s.sed to continue. “I will… let you….”
Dong Xuebing felt his heart racing. “Let me?”
“……”
“What are you saying?”
Yu Meixia bit her lips. “I will let you do whatever you want. I… Qianqian and I will follow you forever.”
Dong Xuebing is touched. “Don’t say such foolish things. I am the one who is sorry towards you. Let me know if you want to set up a family and stop this relations.h.i.+p.”
“I won’t. I have never thought about this before.”
