Chapter 68: Your Sense of Superiority

“Alright, alright, save your breath,” Lin Wangsheng stopped her, knocking the ash from his cigarette. “You alone with one mouth, how can you outtalk several people?”

“Well, we can’t just let them talk nonsense.”

“Even if they don’t talk nonsense, do you think they can say something good?”

Bihua was stunned and had nothing to say.

“Then what do you suggest?”

“If she wants to inquire, let her inquire. Just listen to Xiaoyu; for the next few days, we’ll avoid people and stay home quietly. Once the test results come out, we can hold our heads high.”

After all, they had already done what needed to be done, and their reputation was already ruined; the paternity test was their only chance to turn things around.

Aren’t they the ones who believe in this? When the time comes, we’ll make them convinced.

Bihua finally held back her frustration and said, “It’s best to do it quickly; the food at home is almost gone.”

They had originally sold everything, but these past two days, the couple managed to buy back some of it.

As for the vegetables in the field, they had initially planned to give some to their brothers, but now they had changed their minds and were keeping them for themselves.

The two adults could hold it together, but Lin Yaozu was struggling.

“When are we leaving?”

Bihua smiled to comfort him, “Don’t worry; we’ll leave as soon as the paternity test results come back.”

“When will that be?”

“Oh, I heard that the blood samples need to be sent abroad for testing, so it might take a while.”

“Ugh, it’s so annoying; it’s making it hard for me to go to school.”

Bihua said with a smile, “It’s okay; our Yaozu is so smart; a few days of delay won’t matter. Besides, your sister said she would send you abroad for studies in the future. Once you study abroad and come back, you’ll be a returnee, and you can choose any good job in the country.”

Only then did Lin Yaozu stop complaining.

On the other side, Lin Bingwei and Ye Junsheng chose to head out early because they needed to contact Zhang Tingyuan first; they still needed his help to arrange the paternity test in the country.

It was too sudden; they had just spoken on the phone yesterday, and he had mentioned he would be busy in the morning but free after three in the afternoon.

But there was no choice; this matter was so urgent that they could only disturb him during his working hours.

Fortunately, he was currently in an administrative position and could spare some time.

“Hello, who is this?”

“Zhang Tingyuan, it’s me.”

When he received Lin Bingwei’s call, he was quite surprised, as they had just spoken yesterday, and she had complained about the high long-distance charges.

“Weiwei, what happened? Why are you calling again?”

If it weren’t for something urgent, she surely wouldn’t call back so soon, and it wasn’t even at the time he mentioned.

“About the paternity test you mentioned yesterday, we’re going to do it. Where should we send the samples? We’re going to draw blood shortly.”

Suddenly doing it?

Zhang Tingyuan said, “Then send it to our military hospital; we can do it there.”

He then provided her with an address.

After Lin Bingwei noted it down, she replied, “Okay, I got it. I’ll hang up now.”

“You’re hanging up so soon? We haven’t said much yet…”

“The phone bill is expensive; I’ll come to see you when I have time.” With that, she hung up the phone.

Zhang Tingyuan: “…”

While Lin Bingwei was calling Zhang Tingyuan, Ye Junsheng was also on the other end making an international long-distance call to contact his friend abroad.

That call was indeed expensive, and there was only one place in the entire city where they could make international calls.

After finishing the call, they went to the hospital together, informing the blood draw staff in advance.

They needed to draw more blood, as they would later divide it into three parts for three separate paternity tests.

And she slipped some money to keep it a secret.

Once everything was arranged, Ye Junsheng drove to pick up Ye Bingyu from the hotel.

“Dad, why did you come so late? I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

Ye Junsheng said, “I first took Weiwei to the hospital; she didn’t want to come to the hotel.”

Ye Bingyu didn’t know why Lin Bingwei didn’t want to come to the hotel. Did she not want to see her?

Who cares.

Hmph, does she really think she has it all in the bag?

It’s still uncertain who will win; she’s too early to celebrate.

Ye Bingyu thought she had everything arranged perfectly and confidently followed Ye Junsheng to the hospital for blood tests.

In the blood draw room, she saw Lin Bingwei, who merely glanced at her before looking away, acting very official.

Ye Bingyu felt a surge of anger because she thought that glance was full of mockery, an insult to her.

Hmph, why is she so sure she will win?

“Xiaoyu, it’s your turn.”

Ye Bingyu withdrew her gaze, rolled up her sleeves, and stepped forward to have her blood drawn.

Once all three had their blood drawn, Ye Junsheng asked them to go out first while he stayed behind to pay and arrange for the blood samples to be sent abroad.

The hospital was filled with patients, a chaotic scene, and the two of them ended up outside together.

Lin Bingwei ignored Ye Bingyu, but Ye Bingyu approached her.

“Weiwei, I didn’t expect you to have such a connection with our family. Not only did your parents raise me, but you also look like my grandmother.”

Lin Bingwei replied coolly, “I admit my parents raised you, but I don’t think I look like your grandmother.”

Both understood the implications of each other’s words.

Ye Bingyu sneered, “How can you be so sure you’re a daughter of the Ye family? Just because Xiaokang said you look like my grandmother?”

Lin Bingwei smiled lightly, “Whether or not I am, you know in your heart.”

“Hahaha, yes, I know very well. The paternity test won’t lie; let’s wait and see.”

“Alright, let’s wait and see.”

They thought the topic would end there, and they could quietly wait for the results.

But Ye Bingyu wasn’t satisfied; perhaps feeling guilty, she kept trying to assert her presence before Lin Bingwei before the results came out.

“Why did you suddenly stir up trouble? My parents came to thank you; they’ve agreed to help your family with jobs and even found a school for your brother. With my parents’ support, your future is bright; why make such a fuss?”

Lin Bingwei also smiled, “Yes, my parents raised you; living as their adopted daughter wouldn’t be so bad. Why stir up trouble?”

She returned the words to her.

Ye Bingyu felt a little guilty, but in an instant, she steadied herself and continued, “You know, once the paternity test results come out, not only will you gain nothing, but people will also say you’re so desperate to acknowledge wealthy parents that you don’t even recognize your biological parents. Wouldn’t you become a joke?”

Lin Bingwei nodded in agreement, “That’s a very good point.”

I’ll just watch you desperately cover up your guilt.

Seeing Lin Bingwei so calm made Ye Bingyu feel a bit insecure.

She thought about making another call to confirm, making sure not to get it wrong.

“Country bumpkin, do you even know what a paternity test is? Oh, you’re only in the third grade; you probably can’t even read these few words completely,” Ye Bingyu said, laughing.

But in Lin Bingwei’s eyes, the more Ye Bingyu flaunted her superiority, the more guilty she seemed.

Yet she wasn’t happy; how dare she call herself a country bumpkin?

Lin Bingwei raised her hand and slapped her across the face.
