Chapter 26 -25 Paternity Test
Su Yang froze in place and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
It seemed that in the past, Yanyan had indeed reported Zhirou’s behavior, but at that time the two were already openly and secretly competing.
Yanyan also often engaged in some minor schemes, which both she and Shen Yuan had noticed.
“Mom? Mom. What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the report?”
“No!” Su Yang was pulled back to reality by Wenyan’s voice, “I’m still looking for it, I can’t remember which files it’s under right now, let me look for it again.”
As she spoke, Su Yang started to rummage through files.
Soon, she took out a document from a folder.
“Take a look, at the time, your dad, Zhirou, and I all gave samples to confirm that we were indeed biologically related.”
The overly technical data was actually a bit difficult for Wenyan to understand, but seeing the gene similarity at 99.9%, even someone illiterate could understand.
However… “Mom, didn’t you say that Zhirou had undergone a bone marrow transplant? Then the DNA in her blood should be different from yours, shouldn’t this result be problematic?”
“It’s not a problem, a person’s DNA is determined by heredity from birth, and bone marrow transplants only change the blood cells, like altering the blood type. Our verification was done by comparing hair samples.”
“Oh,” Wenyan nodded, feeling somewhat illiterate, but she still wanted to ask, “Was the institution that did the paternity test for you reliable?”
“Of course, it was reliable. It’s the most authoritative institution in our city and has cooperation with the police and the courts.”
Wenyan nodded.
“Have you ever visited Zhirou’s adoptive parents’ home, what kind of environment did Zhirou grow up in during those ten years? They not only provided surgery for Zhirou but also took great care of her for so many years, they must be quite well-off, right?”
“They are indeed well-off, they have their own business, and they have spent quite a lot of money on Zhirou’s illness, which ordinary families really can’t afford. I’m actually very grateful to them. It’s as if it was all fated, we adopted you and treated you as our own daughter, and they adopted Zhirou and treated her as their own as well. That’s why one should do more good deeds, for virtue and kindness will surely bring blessings.”
Wenyan had been questioning how kind-hearted Shen Zhirou’s adoptive parents could be.
But Su Yang’s words effectively silenced her.
Because Su Yang was right, she and Shen Yuan adopted the original person, raising an orphan into a young lady of wealth, that was also out of kindness, wasn’t it?
There is never a lack of goodwill in the world; it is happening all the time.
But how could such kind biological and adoptive parents have raised someone with Shen Zhirou’s character?
Was it because she was tormented by illness?
“Mom, I have a somewhat impertinent request. I trust that after Zhirou came back, you and Dad must have investigated her adoptive parents’ family background, right?”
“Yes, we did investigate.”
“Can I see it?”
“You can,” Su Yang frowned, “but I also want to ask you, why do you suddenly want to know these things?”
[Ah… Mrs. Su, how should I answer this question? The past events no longer have any evidence. They definitely care about Shen Zhirou a hundred, a thousand times more than I do. The paternity test was fine, but I would seem quite foolish to question it without any proof, wouldn’t I?]
[Moreover, I don’t want to make Mrs. Su sad. After all, this is just my speculation, and I don’t need to take responsibility for a guess, but that is her daughter she gave birth to and carried for ten months. If my questioning were to cause her sleepless nights or even lead her to depression again, then I would be an ungrateful wretch. Ah, Mrs. Su, please forgive me for lying to you this once.]
Wenyan immediately said with a pleasing smile, “Because I want to get along well with Zhirou, and before doing that, I want to understand her better.”
“Alright, then I’ll get it for you to see.” Su Yang went to search through the file cabinet, and the moment she turned around, her face bore a heavy look of concern.
Yanyan had told on Zhirou before, but Zhirou vehemently denied it, claiming she never bullied Yanyan.
Lately, Yanyan upped the ante, always starting the ‘war’ first, clearly crying wolf.
But now, Su Yang wasn’t sure who to believe anymore.
As she was wrestling with her thoughts, Su Yang suddenly heard Wenyan’s voice.
[Whimper, I really want to take a photo but I’m too embarrassed to do it in front of Ms. Su. Our super-duper cute, beautiful, elegant, and noble Ms. Su, how great it would be if you could turn around right now]
Just a second ago, Su Yang was worried; the next, she was amused by Wenyan’s outrageous flattery.
She sighed softly and quietly turned around, pretending to look for something in the cabinet.
Wenyan’s eyes immediately sparkled, seizing the opportunity to quickly snap photos.
Embarrassingly enough, she was so hasty that she accidentally turned on the flash.
The click of the shutter and the burst of the flash was a complete social death for Wenyan.
Though Su Yang clearly knew everything, she still pretended not to notice.
Wenyan, on the other hand, let out a sigh of relief.
[Phew, luckily Ms. Su, absorbed in what she was doing, didn’t catch the commotion over here. I’m really pushing it. If anyone sent me to spy, I’d probably die of laughter before I even caught a hint of the enemy’s tail.]
“Mom, I’ve made my choice; I’ve put it on the table, okay?”
“Alright, just leave it there, I’ll tidy it up in a bit.”
Finally able to turn around, Su Yang handed Wenyan a few design drafts.
“Didn’t I say I had something to show you just now? It’s these.”
“They’re gorgeous!” It was a set of jewelry designs, including a necklace and earrings.
“But Mom, although I study design, I really embarrass you because I’m not good at it. Why are you showing me these?”
Su Yang chuckled lightly, “Why? Do you think I’m expecting you to give me tips? I want you to choose. For your birthday present.”
“My birthday? Isn’t that still a long way off?”
“But jewelry takes time to make, of course, it needs to be prepared in advance. Take a look and see which set you like.”
“Hmm!” It would be lying to say she wasn’t pleased, “Then let me pick carefully.”
[Ahhh, every set is so beautiful, Ms. Su is simply the greatest designer in the world, too beautiful, it’s so hard to choose, what should I do, let’s rally the troops and make a decision.]

Su Yang chuckled softly, this girl’s words were so sweet, no, not just sweet words, but a sweet heart.
“Mom, I think I like the forest and ocean series better. With your masterful vision, which set do you think suits me more?”
“At your current age, I think the forest would suit you better, more spirited…”
Inside the study, mother and daughter were discussing jewelry.
Outside the study, on the third floor, Shen Zhirou was keeping a close eye on that firmly closed door.
Only when she saw Wenyan open the door and exit did she sidestep out of sight.
