Because it was almost New Year's, many units had entered the vacation mode in advance, and many businesses had also stopped handling matters. In order to get the results of the inspection as soon as possible, seven or seven people spent a little more money to handle the urgent matters.
Fortunately, because she was studying abroad, Mr and Mrs Miao usually provided more living expenses and pocket money. Moreover, the original owner wasn't someone who would spend money recklessly, and he still had quite a bit of spare money on hand. This could also make things easier for her in the future.
The results of the inspection were released before New Year's Eve. After receiving the call from the appraisal center, Qi Qi Qi found an excuse to go out and receive the report, but she didn't dare to check at the assessment center for fear of encountering someone familiar. She was afraid that she would be unable to explain, so she casually found a café that was still open for business, ordered a cup of coffee, and patiently waited for the waiter to order the coffee before taking the report out from her bag.
She skipped over the incomprehensible terms and directly jumped to the final part of the conclusion.
On the paper, it was written: According to the results of DNA genetic marker typing, Zhou Wenjun is not supported as the biological father of Zhou Hao.
Although he had some doubts in his heart, when he saw such an outcome, he was still so shocked that he nearly knocked over his cup.
Miao Yuqi was a bold person. Although the society was quite open, this was, after all, just a local city, and she had a high opinion of a woman's reputation. Otherwise, the original owner wouldn't have fought her to the death just because of Miao Yuqi's rumors.
From the way Zhou Wenjun treated Zhou Hao, it was clear that he did not know that he had become a happy father. Although he was simple and honest, he was not someone who did not have a temper.
After some thought, Qi Qi decided to not reveal her trump card unless it was a last resort. It wasn't because she was worried about Miao Yuqi, but because if she did, the only ones injured would be the innocent Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Hao.
Miao Yuqi's reputation would definitely be ruined, but the Miao Family's reputation would also be greatly affected.
"Seventh, what a coincidence!"
Just as Qi Qi Qi was deep in her thoughts, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside her.
Qi Qi Qi quickly closed the report on the table and returned it to her bag as fast as she could. Then, she looked up at the person in front of her.
"Chen Liang!" Why are you here? "
When Chen Liang saw Qi Seventh's anxious attempt to conceal his actions, he frowned slightly. However, taking into account that the two of them were still not very familiar with each other, he politely did not pursue the matter further.
"My family was busy preparing for the new year, so I couldn't help much. I didn't want to help from home, so I decided to just hide out. What about you?" Is that why you came out? "
"En, that's right. I've already been out for a while, it's almost time for me to return." Qi Qi didn't want to interact more with Chen Liang, so she replied half-heartedly, picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
"Seventh Brother, what happened to you? Is he hiding from me? Did I do something to offend you? " Seeing that Qi Qi Qi was about to leave, Chen Liang hurriedly reached out and grabbed her hand. Taking this chance, he also stood up and asked with an earnest expression.
Qi Qi Qi struggled a bit, but was unable to free his hand from Chen Liang's grasp, and could only helplessly surrender, "No, why do you think that? I've really been out for a long time. I'm afraid of worrying about my family, so can you let me go first? You're pinching me! "
Seeing Qi Qi Qi's pitiful look, Chen Liang hurriedly let go. Realizing that he had lost control of himself, a trace of awkwardness flashed across his face.
"Then... Can you sit with me a little longer? I have something to say to you. "
If possible, the answer would be, "No."
However, she looked around at the people who were already paying their respects to their table and could only helplessly sit down. She lowered her head and played with the bag in her hands, not even glancing at Chen Liang.
"If you have something to say, just say it! If I don't go back, my parents will be worried! "
He could not help but smile helplessly, wanting to ask her to raise her head and look at him. However, after thinking it over, he chose to directly say the words that he had wanted to say the most in his heart, "Qiqi, I've discovered that I've fallen for you. Can you be my girlfriend?"
Qi Qi Qi didn't know what kind of crazy act Chen Liang was playing, but she had already confessed without any preparation. At this moment, she couldn't help but look at him blankly.
When Chen Liang saw Qi Seventh's adorable appearance because of her words, he almost couldn't hold back his hand and reached out to caress her head. Fortunately, his rationality stopped him in time.
"Chen Liang, are you alright? What are you saying?"
"I'm serious. Actually, when I was in the United States, I had already fallen in love with you, but I never dared to confess to you. This time, I met you when I was returning home, I feel that this is fate, this is a hint from heaven for me to express my feelings to you."
These words were really sour, and Qi Qi Qi subconsciously touched her cheek. The confession of a pure and innocent boy really wasn't something that an ordinary person could accept.
"Sorry, I don't like you, so you let me be your girlfriend but my answer is' no '."
"Why? "My intuition can't be wrong. When we were in America, you clearly liked me a little. Why did your attitude change so quickly after returning to the country?"
Hearing this, Qi Hua frowned. "In the United States, you know how I liked you, but why didn't you confess? Now that I don't like you, you came to confess. Tell me, what are your thoughts?"
"I... "I …" Chen Liang was stunned by the question, momentarily at a loss of words. He did not know how to explain it.
"I... "At that time, I thought we still had a lot of time, so we could take our time. Besides, we just arrived in the United States and we still have a lot of things to do. I didn't want to find a girlfriend that quickly, for fear of delaying my studies, so …"
"Oh ~ ~ what you mean is that since you knew that I like you and the choice is yours, you thought that I could wait for you forever. When you feel that everything is ready, falling in love will not stop you from studying, so it's not too late to come back and find me, right?"
Chen Liang subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he didn't know how to put it. The questions asked by Qi Qi were indeed what he had been thinking at that time.
Chen Liang, let me say it again. No matter what happened in the past, I don't like you now, so you don't need to waste any more time on me. Just like you said, your parents sent you to study abroad in the hopes that you would stand out and not fall in love.
Finishing this sentence, Qi Qi picked up her bag and walked out of the coffee shop without looking back, leaving the stunned Chen Liang sitting blankly on the spot.
After leaving the coffee shop, Qi Qi took a taxi and rushed home. Before leaving the coffee shop today, she had come out on an excuse to take a walk. It had been so long, and she still didn't know why she was in such a rush.
This Chen Liang was truly despicable. Back then, when the original owner had liked him, he had been fearless, not willing to lower his head even while acting arrogantly. Now that he had changed his mind, what was the use of saying all this?
When he returned home, his elders had already prepared a meal and were bowing to his ancestors. 77 quickly entered the room, put his bag in his room and returned to the living room.
At this moment, Grandpa Miao was holding a stick of incense and mumbling to himself as he looked at the ancestral tablets. The New Year's Eve meal that they were going to eat was also placed on the altar.
Grandma Miao, Uncle Miao, Mr and Mrs Miao, and Mr and Mrs Miao, as well as Mr and Mrs Miao, stood behind Grandpa Miao with their hands clasped together. Mrs Miao shot a look at Qi Qi, signaling her to come over.
Qi Seventh Seven stuck out his tongue and quietly stood at the back. When he raised his head, he could just see the back of Zhou Wenjun's and Miao Yuqi's heads.
At this moment, Zhou Wenjun was holding Zhou Hao in his hands. He was gently holding the child's delicate hands and teaching him a farewell with a smile.
The soft corner of Qi Qi Qi's heart was hit by this scene. She had lived in an orphanage since she was young, and had suffered the cold treatment of others. If she exposed Zhou Hao's past, then Miao Yuqi would stop wanting this child. Zhou Wenjun definitely wouldn't help others raise this child.
No, that won't happen. Even if Miao Yuqi was to put her heart into it, Uncle Miao wouldn't let his own grandson be abandoned.
"Seventh Brother, what are you thinking about? "One moment he's nodding, the next moment he's shaking his head." "Why have you been acting so secretive these past few days? Didn't I say I was just going for a walk in the afternoon? Why did you come back so late? I almost missed paying my respects to my ancestor."
Noticing that no one was paying any attention to them, he quickly wrapped his arms around Mrs Miao's waist and whispered, "Aiya, Mum, stop reciting it. Didn't I just rush back in time?" It's the new year, please spare me this time. "
"You!" Mrs Miao pushed seven or seven of Bai Jing's forehead with her fingers. With a faint smile, she gave up.
After paying their respects to their ancestors, everyone then set out to withdraw the altar, forming a table and beginning to eat at New Year's Eve meal.
Grandma Miao was worried that the food would get cold, so she hurriedly carried the dishes back to the kitchen and heated them up after eating her stomach.
Mrs Miao wanted to go in and help, but was pushed out by Grandma Miao. She said that the kitchen was small and it was just heating up a dish. She would be fine by herself.
"Little Zhou, when we finish eating dinner in a while, bring the two of them back home. It wouldn't be right if you didn't go back to see your dad on New Year's Eve." Grandpa Miao picked up the wine cup and sipped a mouthful of it. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and chewed it before swallowing it. Only then did he look at Zhou Wenjun's explanation.
Zhou Wenjun lowered his head and teased his son in his arms. Without raising his head, he said in a muffled voice, "Ever since he broke his promise and married that woman, he's no longer my father. I don't want to go back."
"Little Zhou, don't be so stubborn as a child. Your mother passed away early, and your father only found himself an old friend after guarding for so many years. You can't blame him." He did not know much about the family's affairs, but he was clear on the family's character. Having been a honest and honest man for so many years, being a father and mother as well as bringing up children, it was not wrong for him to find a partner for himself as he aged.
"Before my mom died, she told him not to find another one, and he also agreed. As a man, he doesn't keep his word. I don't have a father like him."
He was such a person, yet he was the one who pushed everything to the end. His father had been a widower for so many years, and had only found a partner when he was old. His reaction was so huge.
