Ding Rong did not know what expression to wear. Her entire face was stiff. The thin document enveloped was pushed in front of her by Huo Tian, but Ding Rong subconsciously took a step back as if what was inside wasn’t paper but a time bomb.
She did not know what she was thinking at this moment. She did not have any conflicting thoughts nor did she weigh the pros and cons. She only stared at the document envelope that was handed to her, not having the courage to reach out to take it.
Huo Tian waited for a moment and realized that Ding Rong still didn’t do anything. She sighed and said, “Since Mom doesn’t want to see this report, then…”
She was going to say that she would wait a little longer and give Ding Rong more time to mentally prepare herself, but Ding Rong seemed to have misunderstood Huo Tian’s meaning. She thought that Huo Tian was going to destroy this report and then completely deny her relationship with that man.
Ding Rong subconsciously stopped her. “Wait… I, I want to see this report.”
Ding Rong took the document envelope and tore off the seal after a moment of hesitation. She took out the test report. She could not understand a lot of professional jargon, but the most important part of the test results was in the last line. Before the document was completely taken out, Ding Rong took a deep breath and felt that her hands were trembling slightly.
She looked at Huo Tian and realized that she was very calm.
Ding Rong could not help but ask, “Tiantian, aren’t you nervous?”
Huo Tian saw that Ding Rong’s face was a little pale and knew that it was only because her emotions were fluctuating too much. Only then did she suppress her worry.
“I’ve been feeling nervous all the time yesterday. I don’t know Mom’s true thoughts, so I don’t know how to deal with a man who suddenly claims to be my father. However, I’m not nervous anymore. Mom, don’t be nervous either. If the test results show that he’s really my father, the one who should be nervous should be the other party. If he’s not my father, at least we’ve eliminated one wrong answer. I’ll continue to look for Dad. You have to believe in my ability.”
Ding Rong forced a smile when she heard her daughter’s slightly clumsy consolations. She drew some courage from her daughter and pulled out the document in one go.
The final result of the test was in bold and in larger font size. After seeing the line of words clearly, Ding Rong felt as if the world was spinning. Her legs turned weak, and she staggered a few steps. Huo Tian held her arm and helped her to the sofa while she was in a daze. The next moment, tears flowed down Ding Rong’s face.
“He’s back, he’s really back…”
Huo Tian picked up the report and saw that the results showed that Xi Cheng was her biological father. No wonder Ding Rong had lost her composure.
“Mom, Mom…” Huo Tian called out to Ding Rong a few times, only to realize that she seemed to be immersed in her own world.
After observing Ding Rong carefully for a while more, Huo Tian realized that Ding Rong was only crying silently and wasn’t too agitated. She felt slightly relieved.
She went to the courtyard where she could observe Ding Rong’s condition through the window, but not let Ding Rong hear her voice. She then called Xi Cheng.
Although she wasn’t as surprised as she was when she first found out about their relationship, Huo Tian still didn’t know how to call Xi Cheng. Hence, she tried to pass off the address part, “…Erm, the test results are out.”
Xi Cheng’s breathing seemed to pause for a moment on the other end of the line. Then, he tried to maintain his composure. “The results are as I said, right?”
Huo Tian said, “Mmm, the most important thing now is that Mom saw the results too.”
Xi Cheng could not maintain his composure anymore and said anxiously, “How is she now?”
Huo Tian looked at Ding Rong in the room again and said helplessly, “Mom didn’t lose control of her emotions, but she keeps on crying…”
