Chapter 893: DNA
“That d*mn woman stood right in front of me just now! How I wish that I’d poured the hot water in this flask on her face just now!”
“If she ever comes over again, you still won’t be able to use the flask—because I’ll be the one who has snatched the flask over!”
Even though the few young masters had not met Nuannuan before, their younger sister complex had all been fully unleashed.
All the noble young masters who carried themselves imposingly in the outside world were now slamming the table in front of their grandfather and making harsh remarks. They shed the indifferent arrogance that they used to carry themselves with when in public.
On the other hand, the old master would have scolded these brats under normal circumstances. Yet, at this moment, he was as still as a mountain.
This was because Zhong Qianqian had not only pretended to be his granddaughter but had also slandered his Xu’er and Ling’er in front of him. As he watched Zhong Qianqian, he had to suppress himself from grabbing the hot water and flask and throw it at her too.
Therefore, it pleased him to hear his grandchildren’s harsh words.
Otherwise, whenever he thought about how his Nuannuan suffered in such a family, he would not have been able to suppress his pent-up anger and destroy the Zhong family in that instant! Old Master Nangong was an old man who was obsessed with his wife, daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter, after all!
Nangong Mo, Nangong Qin, and Nangong Zhao shared the same thoughts as the old master.
At this moment, these uncles, who could shake the entire Camino with just a stomp of their feet, were on the verge of madness.
If they had known earlier...
They would get the servants to prepare a few dozen more hot water flasks and scald her to death!
Arghhhh—
Everyone was so angry; infuriated! Yet they had to maintain their composure.
This would drive them nuts!
Nangong Jin clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles started to pop audibly. He did not utter a single word. He was so angry that he could not stand it any longer.
Their younger sister suffered and got her blood transferred to someone else. Meanwhile, his daughter and son received blame for something they did not do.
His heart was pounding madly that all traces of a smile had been wiped from his face.
All the men in the Nangong family had sinister expressions on their faces. They were itching to skin Zhong Qianqian alive.
“Sixth Brother, they can’t just simply switch out Zhong Qianqian’s blood, right? For Zhong Qianqian to use Nuannuan’s blood... isn’t she afraid of hemolysis[1] from incompatibility?” Nangong Jin asked.
The men from the Nangong family averted their gazes toward Nangong Ze simultaneously. They were curious to know that too.
“Logically speaking, yes. However, if Nuannuan and Zhong Qianqian’s bone marrow is compatible, once Zhong Qianqian has Nuannuan’s hematopoietic stem cells[2], the DNA in her blood will be identical to Nuannuan’s.
“Therefore, to find out whether Zhong Qianqian possesses Nuannuan’s bone marrow, we only need to examine the DNA from Zhong Qianqian’s somatic cells[3]. I believe that Nuannuan is our little princess, so the DNA from Zhong Qianqian’s somatic cells is definitely different from ours.”
“What in the world is a somatic cell DNA? Can you be more thorough, huh?! Are you trying to drive us crazy?” Nangong Zhao could not stand it anymore, and he started to get irritated.
In any case, these young masters were used to getting lectured since they were young. They did not feel wronged at all. Nangong Ze chuckled and explained what a hematopoietic stem cell transplant was in detail.
“Therefore, if Zhong Qianqian received Nuannuan’s bone marrow, then the DNA in her blood and immune cells would be the same as Nuannuan’s. This explains why in the DNA test that Second Uncle personally ordered, Zhong Qianqian’s blood is so similar to that of the Nangong family.
“However, the next time Second Uncle draws Zhong Qianqian’s blood sample, extract from somewhere a little deeper. Use the blood from her organs or muscles. I assure you, the result will shock you.”
[1] Hemolysis is the destruction of red blood cells.
[2] Hematopoietic stem cells are stem cells that turn into blood cells.
[3] A somatic cell is any biological cell in the body of an organism other than a gamete, germ cell, gametocyte, or undifferentiated stem cell.
