Chapter 67: Three Paternity Tests

Lin Bingwei nodded.

Li Yurong looked at Lin Bingwei with increasing pity.

This child has really not had it easy living under the hands of those black-hearted people.

Not only was she feeling this way, but Ye Junsheng and his wife were thinking the same.

Fortunately, there are many people in the village, and they can see each other coming and going. If this were in the city, living in one of those high-rise buildings, with the doors closed and not even recognizing the neighbors across the hall, who knows how the child would have been tortured to death without anyone knowing.

Gu Siyun wiped her tears and said, “What sin have we committed to encounter such people?”

Ye Junsheng sighed and said, “It’s our fault for showing off our wealth back then. We only thought of our hometown’s simplicity and forgot that some people, when greedy, can do anything.”

“What should we do now?”

Ye Junsheng thought for a moment and said, “Let’s wait for the paternity test to be done. Even if we want to report it, we need to have evidence first.”

“Then… what about Xiaoyu…”

Ye Junsheng took a deep breath, “After raising her for so many years, let’s give her one last chance. I’ll inform the hospital in advance about the paternity test samples, so they can take more and divide them into three parts.”

“Divided into three parts?”

“Yes, one for Weiwei, one for Xiaoyu, and I’ll contact someone else to do another. If Xiaoyu tampered with the paternity test, then… we’ll deal with it as it comes, considering we’ve been kind to a wolf in sheep’s clothing all these years.”

The child they raised for so many years turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing; they had poured so much effort into her.

Both of them were heartbroken.

…

Lin Bingwei made the bed and prepared to sleep when there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?”

“Weiwei, it’s me.”

It was Gu Siyun’s voice.

Lin Bingwei said, “Come in, the door isn’t locked.”

Gu Siyun pushed the door open, looking around the antique-style house.

It really looked like a museum, thinking that her in-laws must have been a wealthy family.

She wanted to find an opportunity to talk more with Lin Bingwei, but since they had only known each other for two days, she didn’t know how to start.

After thinking for a while, she said, “Weiwei, you and your dad need to go to the hospital for blood tests tomorrow.”

“Oh, I know.”

“Then you…” She racked her brain to find a topic to talk to her, “By the way, I heard you want to go to college. Have you signed up?”

Lin Bingwei shook her head and sighed, “I asked about it today, and they said my situation doesn’t meet the standards.”

“Ah? What should we do? If it doesn’t work, you can come abroad with us; there aren’t so many restrictions overseas.”

“No, I’ve already found a solution. I’ll take the junior high school entrance exam first, step by step. If I’m a few years late, that’s fine, I’ll participate as a social candidate anyway.”

“You’re already twenty-three, and you’ve been delayed all these years… It’s all our fault for not taking good care of you.”

Lin Bingwei said, “The test results haven’t come out yet; it’s too early to talk about these things.”

Gu Siyun choked up for a moment and awkwardly smiled, “Yes, it’s still early; let’s not talk about it.”

After a while, she found another topic, “I heard your mother-in-law say you plan to open a store?”

“Uh-huh, I’ve already rented the place; today is the day to collect the keys.”

“Is the money enough? I have…” She started to take out money as she spoke.

Lin Bingwei pressed her hand down, “The paternity test hasn’t been done yet; what if it all turns out to be a misunderstanding?”

Gu Siyun opened her mouth but was once again choked up.

She had a premonition that this was her biological daughter.

Not only did she resemble her mother-in-law in some ways, but there was also an indescribable feeling.

When she first met Xiaoyu thirteen years ago, she didn’t feel this way; it was still very unfamiliar.

At that time, she thought it was because the child hadn’t been raised by her side, and she felt quite guilty.

She thought to herself that not raising her personally, leaving her alone to grow up in the countryside, and not being able to get close to her made her feel like a failure as a mother.

After meeting Weiwei, she realized that some feelings are innate.

Lin Wangsheng and Bihua, those black-hearted people, will have it coming once they gather the evidence.

“Can I see the clothes you made? I heard from your mother-in-law that you are very good at making clothes.”

Lin Bingwei nodded in agreement, “Sure, come with me.”

Zhang Tingyuan’s study had been transformed into a workspace, where several sample garments hung, along with some unfinished products.

On the desk, there were also her sketches.

Gu Siyun was amazed when she saw these clothes, especially the sketches, “Did you draw this?”

“Yes.”

She didn’t understand much about it, but she could tell that it was definitely not something just anyone could draw; her sketches were very professional.

The old clock chimed, and Lin Bingwei said, “It’s getting late; let’s go back and rest. We need to get up early tomorrow.”

This time, Gu Siyun didn’t say anything else and went back to rest.

The next morning, Ye Junsheng took Lin Bingwei to the city, needing only to test the paternity relationship between Ye Junsheng and his two daughters. Gu Siyun stayed behind with her son, continuing to inquire more about Lin Bingwei from Li Yurong.

After finishing the household chores, Li Yurong directly took her to tour the village.

“Let’s go straight to Linjia Village; the people there have watched Weiwei grow up.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Li Yurong led Gu Siyun straight to Linjia Village, and as soon as Bihua saw them, she immediately closed the door.

Li Yurong spat and silently criticized her for being guilty of her own conscience.

Then she took Gu Siyun directly to Sister Suyen’s house.

“Sister Suyen, I’m here again.”

Sister Suyen had just been feeding the chickens, and upon hearing this, she wiped her hands and greeted them with a smile, “Yurong is here! Oh, who is this young lady?”

Li Yurong smiled and said, “This is the one who asked Lin Wangsheng and his wife to take care of her daughter back then.”

Gu Siyun extended her hand with a smile, “Hello, I’m Gu Siyun. I came here mainly to learn about the place where my daughter lives.”

Their conversation was quite sophisticated; Li Yurong didn’t introduce her as someone’s mother, and Gu Siyun didn’t mention that she was here to thank Lin Wangsheng and his wife for taking care of her daughter. She only said she wanted to learn about her daughter’s living conditions.

And she hadn’t come from Lin Wangsheng’s home; she was brought by Li Yurong, which made it intriguing.

Sister Suyen was also a perceptive person and immediately understood. She took off her apron and said to them, “Young lady, come with me into the courtyard; let’s chat with the women in our village. You can ask anything you want to know.”

The courtyard she mentioned was a large traditional Chinese courtyard left behind by the landlord, housing about ten families.

Unfortunately, after being distributed to the villagers, each family built and modified it haphazardly, and it had already been nearly destroyed.

Under the eaves of the main room in the courtyard was the gathering place for the village women’s gossip.

Even if someone’s chicken laid a double yolk egg, it would be heard from here.

Bihua knew that Li Yurong had taken Gu Siyun to gather information and was anxiously pacing at home.

“What should we do? What should we do? Those old women will surely add fuel to the fire with whatever they say. Who knows what malicious things they’ll make us out to be? No, I can’t just sit here and wait; I can’t let them talk nonsense. I’m going over there right now.”
