Chapter 26 Paternity Test Results Are Out

Mu Hongtao’s words interrupted Jiang Xingman’s thoughts. Jiang Xingman saw her husband’s concerned gaze and couldn’t help but show a slight happy smile:

“I know, I’ll eat a little bit more and then go to sleep.” After telling Mu Hongtao, Jiang Xingman looked at Mu Jincheng with concern and love in her eyes:

“Jincheng, drive slowly on the road!”

Forced to sprinkle some invisible dog food, Mu Jincheng quickly nodded in agreement:

“I know, Mom, don’t worry!”

After bidding farewell to Jiang Xingman, Mu Jincheng and Mu Hongtao drove towards the hospital. Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was a bit heavy. Neither of them spoke, but their eyes revealed the same anxiety and anticipation. At the same time, they silently prayed in their hearts. They both hoped that this time… this time, it wouldn’t disappoint them.

The car sped along the road. Mu Hongtao looked out the window, his mind filled with thoughts. These years, in search of their daughter, their family had gone through too many twists and turns and pain. Every time they did a paternity test with hope, they were always tormented by disappointment.

But this time, a strong intuition told him that maybe, this was really the last time. This time, they were really going to find their daughter who had been missing for so many years!

The two of them arrived at the hospital. The person who helped them with the paternity test was Dongfang Pu, from the Dongfang family, who had a good relationship with the Mu family. The Dongfang family was in Beijing. Although they weren’t ranked among the top four wealthy families in Beijing, they were second only to them.

Moreover, the Dongfang family was a family of medicine, with profound expertise and a high reputation in the medical field. They were a close friend of many wealthy families. The Dongfang family had a very good relationship with the top four wealthy families, so Mu Hongtao and Su Xiwan’s paternity test was personally handled by Dongfang Pu, the dean.

The paternity test results were released at 8:00 am. Mu Hongtao and Mu Jincheng could have waited for the results and then waited for Dongfang Pu to call them.

However, Mu Hongtao and Mu Jincheng felt that there was a high possibility of finding their biological daughter (sister) this time. So they couldn’t wait and wanted to come to the hospital before 8:00 am and see the results report first.

After arriving at the hospital, they went straight to the place where they had made an appointment with Dongfang Pu: the Genetics Department. When they arrived at the Genetics Department, it was not yet time for the doctors to start work.

The two of them stood quietly at the door of the department, looking at the closed glass door, a hint of anticipation in their eyes. Every second of waiting felt like a long torment, and their heartbeats were unusually clear in the silence.

“Uncle Mu, Jincheng, you’re here so early!”

Dongfang Pu also just arrived at the hospital and came directly here. He thought he would wait for the Mu family father and son for a while, but he didn’t expect them to come so early.

But thinking about it, the Mu family’s little princess had been missing for so many years. He had helped the Mu family with paternity tests several times. Although each time was disappointing, they always had great hope. But this was the first time that the father and son were so anxious to wait for the results.

“Xiao Pu, we’ll trouble you again this time!” Mu Hongtao’s voice was filled with gratitude and anticipation.

“Brother Pu, thank you for your hard work!” Mu Jincheng followed up.

“Haha, no trouble, no hard work. As long as our little princess can be found, I’d be happy to do paternity tests for you every day!”

Dongfang Pu heard Mu Hongtao and his son’s polite words and said with a hearty laugh. As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up his phone and said,

“Uncle Mu, I’ll call the doctor to see where he is!”

Dongfang Pu said and dialed the phone of the doctor in the Genetics Department. Not long after, a doctor rushed over. He greeted Dongfang Pu first, and then picked up the key to open the glass door.

Dongfang Pu gestured for Mu Hongtao and his son to follow him inside. The doctor came to a machine, took out a report sheet, and handed it to Dongfang Pu, saying,

“Dean, the paternity test you requested is out!”

After taking the report sheet, Dongfang Pu handed it to Mu Hongtao, saying,

“Uncle Mu, take a look!”

Mu Hongtao, who had been a little anxious just now, was a little afraid to open the report sheet when he saw it. His hands trembled slightly. He was afraid… afraid that he would be disappointed again.

Mu Jincheng looked at his father, who had experienced so much disappointment over the years. He felt a pang of heartache for his father, so he stepped forward and took the report sheet from Dongfang Pu.

He nervously flipped to the last page of the report sheet. When he saw the results, he couldn’t believe his eyes and closed them, then opened them again to confirm.

“Jincheng, what is it?” Mu Hongtao couldn’t hold back any longer, his voice trembling. His eyes were fixed on Mu Jincheng, as if trying to anticipate the results from his son’s expression.

“Dad, we… we finally found our sister!” When Mu Jincheng finished speaking, his eyes were slightly red, his voice filled with excitement and joy. Mu Hongtao, hearing his son’s words, quickly took the report sheet from Mu Jincheng. On it was written:

Confirmed biological relationship between the identified parties.

Mu Hongtao was afraid he had read it wrong. He read it over and over again, word by word. Over the years, he had looked at many paternity test reports, but this was the only one that was different from the others. Each word was like a seed of hope, taking root in his heart and blooming into a brilliant flower.

Mu Hongtao was so overwhelmed with emotions that he didn’t know what to say. Tears shimmered in his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly. All he could think about now was going to the somewhat dilapidated neighborhood to bring back their biological daughter.

“Uncle Mu, congratulations, congratulations on finding your sister Yueyue!” Dongfang Pu, although he hadn’t looked at the report sheet, understood everything from the expressions of the Mu family father and son.

It wasn’t easy. The Mu family had been searching for their daughter for eighteen years. How many eighteen years were there in a lifetime? Throughout these long years, the Mu family had never given up on their search. Their perseverance and dedication were truly moving.

Upon hearing Dongfang Pu’s words, Mu Hongtao struggled to contain his excitement. He tried to keep his voice steady:

“Xiao Pu, thank you. Over these years, you’ve helped us a lot. After I’m done with these few days, I’ll call your father, and we can have a meal together!”

“Okay, Uncle Mu, we’ll definitely come over then. Uncle Mu, I won’t keep you now. You should hurry back and share this good news with Aunt Jiang. But I think you should slowly reveal it to her first. Don’t rush to bring your sister in front of her.”

Dongfang Pu said, feeling a bit worried. He was concerned that Jiang Xingman might not be able to handle the sudden happiness.

Mu Hongtao and Mu Jincheng nodded solemnly upon hearing Dongfang Pu’s words. They knew Jiang Xingman’s condition and had to handle this good news with extreme care to avoid causing her too much excitement.

After bidding farewell to Dongfang Pu, Mu Jincheng spoke in a deep voice:

“Dad, how about we split up? You go back and tell Mom about this, but do it slowly, giving her time to process the news. I’ll go to sister’s neighborhood and talk to her about the past years. This way, both Mom and sister can have time to accept the news. What do you think?”

After some contemplation, Mu Hongtao nodded in agreement with his son’s plan. He also wanted to personally bring his daughter back, but he knew that his wife couldn’t handle extreme emotions at the moment, so his son’s arrangement was the best choice for now.

Mu Jincheng dropped off Mu Hongtao at the entrance of the community where he and Jiang Xingman lived. As Mu Hongtao got out of the car, Mu Jincheng, feeling a bit uneasy, said:

“Dad, after you tell Mom, send me a message, and I’ll bring sister back. Also, you should inform Grandpa, he’s still waiting for the news!”

Mu Hongtao watched his son ramble on a bit, waved his hand at him, and urged him, “I got it. Hurry up, I and your mom will be waiting at home for you to bring back Yueyue!”
