Chapter 133
Ye Jinchen broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately spoke up, "Mom, don't misunderstand. Dad really has something to tell you, but you absolutely cannot get agitated."
Gu Qi let out a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a love child, she wouldn't have to chop him up and throw him into the river.
She shot Ye Junli a glance. "Alright, out with it. What's with all the secrecy?"Cheeck out latest novels at novelhall.com
Ye Junli looked at the documents in his hand, then handed them over to Gu Qi.
"My dear wife, take a look at this first."
Gu Qi eyed Ye Junli suspiciously, then accepted the documents. The words "Paternity Test" were clearly printed on the cover.
Gu Qi felt puzzled. A paternity test? Whose paternity test?
With doubts in her mind, she began reading the report.
Until she reached the end: "Based on the available information and DNA analysis, the results support that Ye Junli is the biological father of Xu Wanwan, and do not support that Ye Junli is the biological father of Ye Jinmeng."
Gu Qi's hands trembled, and the report dropped to the floor.
"This... how is this possible?" Gu Qi looked at Ye Junli, as if seeking confirmation from him.
Ye Junli nodded. He walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Qi, Wanwan is our daughter, but Mengmeng..."
Gu Qi burst into tears. "How can this be? How can Mengmeng not be our daughter?"
These words were overheard by Ye Jinmeng, who was humming a tune as she approached the hospital room door, intending to come in.
Ye Jinmeng's hand paused as she reached for the doorknob, and the smile froze on her face.
I'm not my parents' daughter? What does that mean?
The conversation inside the hospital room continued.
"It's true, Qi."
Gu Qi looked at the calm Ye Jinchen, seeming to understand something. "What's going on here? You two knew about this?"
Ye Junli sighed and recounted everything that had happened after receiving the mysterious documents.
"I personally sent the samples to the testing facility for this paternity test, and it was absolutely legitimate. There's no room for error."
Gu Qi collapsed into a chair.
She could only hold back her sobs and press the voice recording button.
"Wanwan, I'm so sorry... Wanwan, I'm so sorry..." Her cries still slipped out, and she accidentally sent the voice message when she released her finger.
Inside the hospital room, the others were unaware that Ye Jinmeng had been there, and continued their conversation.
"This whole situation, Wanwan's foster parents have already passed away, so we have no way to hold them accountable. But the children are innocent." Ye Junli was actually quite afraid that his wife would blame Mengmeng for this.
However, Gu Qi said, "Of course I know the children are innocent. I'm the mother, and I know Mengmeng best. Wanwan is also well-behaved and sensible. They're both my daughters, whether they're biologically mine or not. What does it matter? I'm happy to have two daughters!"
Ye Junli and Ye Jinchen exchanged a glance, both relieved.
At that moment, Auntie Chen entered from outside. "Madam, I've brought dinner."
"The master is here too. Perfect, I made plenty today, so we can all eat together."
She looked around. "Oh, where is the young miss?"
Ye Junli frowned. "Mengmeng went to school, didn't she? She's not here."
Auntie Chen furrowed her brow. "That can't be right. When I was driving over, I saw the young miss walking into the hospital. After I parked the car, I was worried I hadn't brought enough food, so I bought some steamed buns from the nearby shop."
"Auntie Chen, are you sure you didn't mistake someone else for her?" Ye Jinchen asked.
"Impossible. I recognized the little satchel she was carrying – I made it for her myself. There's no way I could be mistaken," Auntie Chen said with certainty.
The people in the hospital room exchanged glances, seeming to understand something.
"Oh no!" Ye Junli slapped his forehead. "Did she overhear something?"
Gu Qi quickly took out her phone and called Ye Jinmeng, afraid that the child might not be able to handle the truth and do something reckless.
Auntie Chen looked on in bewilderment at the flustered group, unsure of what was happening.
However, the voice that came from Gu Qi's phone was a mechanical female voice: "Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off. Please try again later."
Ye Jinchen said anxiously, "Dad, quick, send someone to look for her!"
At that moment, Xu Wanwan's call came in, and Ye Jinchen answered, "Wei, Wanwan, is Jinmeng with you?"
After hearing the voice message, Xu Wanwan felt that something was off. Since Jinmeng's phone was already turned off, she immediately called Ye Jinchen. Upon hearing Ye Jinchen's words, she panicked.
"Brother Ye, Jinmeng just sent me a voice message saying 'sorry,' and then I couldn't reach her anymore. Did she find out about the paternity test?"
