172 You Changed Your Tune Too Quickly
When Yao Zizhou heard Ming Liuyi’s words, he fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Yao Zizhou said, “You already knew? Then why didn’t you stop me when I said I wanted to acquire my real father-in-law’s company?”
“You… changed your tune too quickly,” Ming Liuyi said. “There wasn’t any evidence back then. Even if I said it, no one would believe me.”
Yao Zizhou looked at Ming Liuyi, and he said, “I believe you, but it’s fine now. Let’s see what they’re here for. I’ll help you solve it.”
!!
Cai Wenlun and Chen Xiaomei soon arrived. The housekeeper brought the two of them to the study. Yao Zizhou and Ming Liuyi were waiting for them. Cai Wenlun saw Ming Liuyi and started to evaluate her.
In the past, Cai Wenlun had never noticed that Ming Liuyi’s appearance was indeed similar to the Cai family.
“Liuyi, can you tell us about your family background?” asked Chen Xiaomei straightaway. “What are your parents’ names and how old are they?”
Ming Liuyi did not dawdle and immediately said, “My name is Liuyi because I was born in the last month of the year[1]. It has a similar meaning as Rixi’s name.”
Chen Xiaomei’s heart beat faster when she heard this. She finally understood what was going on. She had cried many times before coming here, so her voice quavered as she spoke, “Liuyi, perhaps you don’t understand, but we are your biological parents. Are you willing to do a paternity test with us?”
Afraid that Ming Liuyi would refuse, Chen Xiaomei continued, “I know it’s rude of us to just ask this, but—”
Ming Liuyi interrupted Chen Xiaomei’s words by saying, “I’m willing. Do we do it now?”
No matter how calm Cai Wenlun was, the shock he suffered in such a short time was too great. He was a little wobbly when he tried to stand up, and Yao Zizhou immediately went to help him up. Cai Wenlun could not believe it. Yao Zizhou helping him meant he was humbling himself to Cai Wenlun’s level.
Yao Zizhou hesitated for a moment before saying, “Please take care of your health. I will reconsider the matter of acquiring the Cai Group.”
Seeing how calm the two of them were, Cai Wenlun asked in surprise, “Why aren’t you surprised? Do you already know something?”
Yao Zizhou thought, ‘My wife is a deity, so of course I already know everything.’ He then said subtly, “I had a vague idea.”
Cai Wenlun and Chen Xiaomei looked at each other. Why did it seem like they were the only two people in the world who had no idea…
Soon, everyone arrived at the hospital under the Yao family’s name and handed in the samples for testing.
Yao Zizhou said, “We’ll get the results within two hours. Meanwhile, we can wait in the lounge.” Sure enough, as Yao Zizhou said, the results came out within two hours.
The medical staff held the paternity test results and said, “After testing, both reports confirm biological parent-child relationship.”
Chen Xiaomei immediately burst into tears and hugged Ming Liuyi. Ming Liuyi also could not help but cry. Cai Wenlun’s eyes turned red when he saw this.
Cai Wenlun was silent for a moment before smacking his own mouth. He said, “I, Cai Wenlun, asked myself, if in the first half of my life, I had acted righteously and done things properly. The only time I have acted against my conscience was during the marriage arrangement with the Yao family. I did not expect karma to strike. It’s entirely my fault!”
Based on Cai Wenlun’s reaction, it was as if he believed he had personally pushed his daughter into an abyss.
In this situation, the only one who wasn’t happy was Yao Zizhou. He could not help but say, “Does it seem so bad that Liuyi married me?”
The other three were stunned. Ming Liuyi immediately hugged Yao Zizhou and buried her head in his chest. She said, “Of course it’s good, and I’m so very blessed to have you.”
Yao Zizhou also hugged Ming Liuyi with a smile on his face. He patted her back and said, “Alright, I understand. Go and have a good chat with your parents.”
Ming Liuyi raised her head and looked at Yao Zizhou with tears in her eyes. Yao Zizhou raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears. He said, “Be good, don’t cry.”
…
Cai Rixi returned home and opened the DNA test results with trembling hands. Although she already knew the result, she still wanted to try her luck.
Cai Rixi’s breathing was rapid. She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down. Then, she slowly opened the certificate of authentication.
When she saw the blood-red “no blood relation” stamp, she felt suffocated. Cai Rixi became agitated. She threw everything on the table to the ground and roared in anger.
‘Why! I may not be the biological daughter of the Cai family, but compared to Ming Liuyi, I’m so much more outstanding! How can fate be like this, giving me all these things, and now wanting to take it all away?!’
