“Shaobai, you scared her.”

In the room, a man dressed in a white shirt lifted the girl’s eyelid and concluded.

He had a gentle smile on his face, totally different from Shen Shaobai.

At the side, Shi Mei was worriedly applying medicine to and dressing the wound on the young master’s neck. Upon hearing Ning Yuan’s words, a look of unhappiness filled her eyes and she glared at the girl lying on the bed.

“Young Master Ning, she is only startled. Young Master is seriously injured!”

There was a gaping wound on Shen Shaobai’s neck. If more strength was applied, it could have punctured an artery and that would be life-threatening.

Ning Yuan was clear of Shi Mei’s protectiveness of Shaobai. Not in a hurry to explain, he covered the girl on the bed with a quilt. While doing so, his eyes were fixed on the girl’s face. There was a ripple in his eyes, and they overflowed with gentleness and reminiscence.

Very quickly, he walked towards Shen Shaobai and said, “Shaobai, only her facial contour is similar to that of Tong Tong.”

Upon hearing the two words “Tong Tong”, Shen Shaobai was first stunned, then an unclear emotion flashed past his eyes.

Very quickly, as if trying to avoid the topic, he replied coldly, “She is not related to the reason why I am keeping Xia Weiai here.”

Ning Yuan did not refute his answer. Instead, he replied with a smile. Since they grew up together, he knew him well enough to guess whether Tong Hua was the reason or not.

However, he thought about the background investigation conducted.

Ning Yuan restrained his expression and looked serious. “Shaobai, what I mean is… Have you ever wondered why she resembles Tong Tong?”

Shi Mei looked at him with unhappiness. Tong Hua left a scar on the young master’s heart. It was as if a knife was stabbed into his heart every time someone mentioned it. She did not want to see the young master in pain.

However, Shen Shaobai could clearly hear the hidden meaning behind his close friend’s words and he maintained his silence.

“I receive a DNA report not long ago. The results showed that Xia Weiai and the CEO of the Xia Corporation, Xia Tianze, who is also her father, are biologically unrelated.”

Ning Yuan passed over some documents as he spoke.

He knew that Shaobai could not see, so he passed it to Shi Mei, who looked shocked after looking at the papers. However, she was perplexed as to why he looked into the biological relations between Xia Weiai and her father.

As expected, Ning Yuan brought up a topic from the past. “Shaobai, do you remember Uncle Tong, Tong Tong’s father? He was involved in a scandal when he was young and it almost led to a divorce between him and Aunt Tong. According to the news, that woman was already pregnant and wanted to use her child as a stepping stone. However, she was later nowhere to be found. Whatever happened during that time cannot be checked clearly anymore, and both of us only heard it from Tong Tong in the past…”

At this point in time, his intentions were clear.

Shi Mei was shocked. She did not know about that incident. However, if it really did happen like described… Wasn’t there a possibility that Xia Weiai and Tong Hua were from the same father but different mothers? In other words, she might be Tong Hua’s younger sister!

This news came too suddenly and was hard to accept.

“When I was still in medical school, I learned about human genetics while analyzing the human anatomy. Her resemblance to Tong Tong might have been a coincidence, but the weird thing is that she looks similar to Uncle Tong too. That’s why I ran a DNA test! We can come to a conclusion after we compare her DNA to Uncle Tong’s.”

There was a long silence.

Shen Shaobai was also shocked by this.

If Xia Weiai was really Tong Hua’s younger sister… what should he do?

Upon thinking about the possibility, he felt anxious and irritated. “This is up to you, it has nothing to do with me.”

After he finished speaking, he signaled for Shi Mei to guide him out of the room.

As Ning Yuan watched him leave, he looked towards the bed. When he saw Xia Weiai for the first time, he immediately thought of Tong Tong. He could not believe that the results of his investigation would match his hypothesis. There was a huge possibility that she could be Tong Tong’s sister.

A heavy look filled his eyes as he thought about Tong Hua.

Tong Tong might never know that even though he always played the role of an older brother, he had been secretly harboring romantic feelings towards her for many years. However, the person she chose was Shaobai. And since they were good friends, he chose to step back and wish them all the best.

However, never did he think that Tong Tong would choose to leave Shaobai during that time; there was even news of her engagement to someone else. He wanted to seek confirmation regarding that, but not only was he unable to reach Tong Tong, the Tong Family also kept silent about it.

He could only accept this.

If Xia Weiai was really her younger sister, all he could do was to take care of her on her behalf.

Ning Yuan smiled and returned to his gentle personality, his beautiful face radiating his noble status.

Shaobai rarely left the island.

It was unbelievable that there was such a story behind a girl he brought back.

Isn’t this what they call fate?

“Tong Tong…”

Upon thinking about the girl he liked, Ning Yuan spoke her name with a sigh.

At the same time, he heard sounds coming from the bed.

Weiai sat up on the bed in a daze.

She was unconscious for a moment because of fatigue. However, she regained consciousness after a short while. Hence, she heard everything Ning Yuan said previously and felt like life was a joke.

“You are awake?”

As Ning Yuan smiled and walked forward, he witnessed Weiai’s reaction.

He paused for a while, seeming like he thought of something, and his smile froze on his face.

“Little girl…”

He reached out his hands to touch her.

Slap—

Weiai stretched out her arm and gave a hard slap to avoid Ning Yuan’s touch.

As she looked up, her clear eyes reflected the man’s delicate face. However, at that point in time, she was heavily guarded. Even Ning Yuan could not keep his composure with a look like this. He was very sure that she had overheard the conversation.

“Is what you said true?”

Weiai bit her lips and stared deadly at him, asking word by word.

Upon hearing this, Ning Yuan did not know what to say.

After hesitating for a short while, he walked to the side and picked up the DNA report that he showed to Shi Mei previously. Then, he walked back to the bed and passed it to her. For a second, her pretty and delicate face resembled that of Tong Tong when she was young.

Weiai stared at the papers in his hand for a long time. Even though the papers were right in front of her, her hands felt heavy and she did not want to take them.

“I am not sure if you are the daughter of the Tong Family. However, I am sure that you are not biologically related to Xia Tianze.”
