Chapter 1321 - 872: The Grand Finale: Parentage Verification (Seven Updates)

At 3:30 in the afternoon, in the underground parking lot of the Central Hospital, Pu Yang was sitting in the back seat of a black Porsche, and sitting next to her was Pu Wei.

"Is the thing done?"

Pu Yang asked Pu Wei, who yawned and handed a kraft paper file bag from her bag to Pu Yang, "Yeah, just got it from the identification office, as soon as I got it, I came to give it to you, knowing you’re anxious."

Pu Yang took the item, staring at the words ’DNA Test Result Notification’ on the cover of the kraft paper file bag, her heart involuntarily began to beat faster...

Pu Wei crossed her arms, glanced sideways at Pu Yang, and sneered,

"I say, Xiao Yang, honestly, I think you’re really cornered by that Xiao Xiaoang kid, so much so that you are thinking about testing his DNA. How could he possibly be Su Xiaomeng’s son? You’re just grasping at straws."

"Did you look at the test results?"

Pu Yang asked.

Pu Wei leaned back in the seat, yawned, "I didn’t open it, but even if I didn’t, I know the result. Su Xiaomeng is two years older than Xiao Yan. From what I investigated about Su Xiaomeng, after she married Yin Shixiu, she couldn’t possibly have had time to meet another man privately and have a child."

"Sis, I’m not doubting your investigation methods behind this, but once she entered the Yin Family, she’s one of them. Investigating someone from the Yin Family is that easy?"

Pu Yang glanced at Pu Wei, shook her head, and sighed, "Now you’re forced to hide at home, pretending to be blind and mentally unstable to the outside world. Isn’t it all because you were too reckless and underestimated Su Xiaomeng based on the surface?"

"Can we stop bringing that up? I admit I didn’t handle that well enough, but I’ve learned my lesson, and... don’t I still have you, Xiao Yang?"

Pu Wei curled her lips into a pleasant arc, gave Pu Yang a wink, "I’ve decided to take this time as a holiday for myself, anyway, dealing with those students and teachers at Beijing University is exhausting enough."

"It’s good if you can see it this way. Sis, your biggest flaw is impatience. If you want to step on others, you have to wait for the right opportunity. Everyone has weaknesses. As long as you wait for their weaknesses to be exposed at the right moment, all we have to do is go with the flow. Contrary to you racking your brains to design plots, no matter how perfect you think your design is, there will always be a flaw."

"Especially when the person you want to step on is someone from the Yin Family."

What Pu Yang said somewhat settled Pu Wei’s thoughts, and she pondered for a moment before nodding.

"Actually, I think Su Xiaomeng doesn’t have many tactics. She wasn’t born into a big noble family in Beijing. Manipulating and scheming is always her weak spot. Just the scene we played out in the hospital made her develop a good impression of me and trust me. This proves she’s not a difficult person to handle. If it wasn’t for Yin Shixiu protecting her, she would probably have disappeared by now."

Pu Yang spoke, and her usual harmless and innocent angelic face turned sinister as evil gleamed in her eyes under the dim light.

"Then... why exactly do you suspect that Xiao Xiaoang is related to Su Xiaomeng? They look somewhat alike, but it’s nothing if others don’t point it out. Besides, all kids have small faces, they all look pretty similar."

Pu Wei was puzzled.

Pu Yang tightly clutched the kraft paper file bag in her hands and shook her head slightly,

"It’s not because of their looks..."

"..."

"You’ve never stayed with them, you don’t understand that feeling. Su Xiaomeng and Xiao Xiaoang are clearly two strangers, yet when they’re in a situation, everyone else just seems redundant when they’re there."

Pu Wei frowned, looking at Pu Yang with a look that seemed to say: Is it really that mystical?

"This kind of feeling can’t be explained with words, but since I have such a strong sixth sense, I don’t think it’s unfounded, and... Su Xiaomeng once mentioned to me..."

"Mentioned what?"

"That she had another child, but it died prematurely. It was a girl."

"I know about this. Su Xiaomeng did suffer a hemorrhage before the birth of her second child, the Yin Family and hospital kept it confidential, but the records are there, so it can be found out."

Pu Wei pursed her lips,

"It seems I have to check this record carefully in the hospital."

"...Stop analyzing blindly, you have the result in your hand!" Pu Wei interrupted as she saw Pu Yang getting deeper and more absorbed in her thoughts.

"Oh!"

Pu Yang snapped out of it and tapped her forehead, then opened the DNA report. She took out the report sheet inside and glanced down to look at the test results—

Pu Wei yawned repeatedly, thinking to herself that she might have really become too lazy from her recent days of rest.

As she turned her head and saw Pu Yang staring at the report as if stunned, with a look of shock and astonishment on her face, Pu Wei couldn’t understand it, so she took the DNA test report from her hand and said,

"Even if it’s different from what you thought, you don’t have to show this expression, right?"

Pu Wei teased and then glanced at the test results herself, her face instantly changed, and when she looked at Pu Yang again, she too was full of shock and disbelief,

"Xiao Yang... Is there a mistake in this report? Are you sure you used Su Xiaomeng’s hair?"

Pu Yang looked at Pu Wei and said firmly, "I’m one hundred percent sure, the samples are definitely not mixed up."

"..."

"I told you, the sixth sense, sometimes it’s so uncanny that you have to pay attention to it." Pu Yang took the report back from Pu Wei, and with a serious expression returned the report to the envelope.

Pu Wei was truly dumbfounded at this moment, she swallowed, and couldn’t speak for a long time...

Pu Yang leaned back in the seat, was the environment inside the car too stuffy? Her thoughts were utterly chaotic at the moment.

Gut feelings don’t have any logical reasoning around them. Although Pu Yang valued her sixth sense, she actually didn’t quite believe that Su Xiaomeng and Xiao Xiaoang had a blood relation. The reason for doing this test was just to dispel her nagging unease.

However...

The sixth sense was accurate.

The results of the test between Su Xiaomeng and Xiao Xiaoang showed a parent-child blood relation, ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent.

Scientific data is the most direct truth, a truth that no one could overturn.

"Is Xiao Xiaoang actually Su Xiaomeng and Yin Shixiu’s second child? The one rumored to have passed away early? But didn’t you just say that the child was a girl?"

Pu Wei’s previously relaxed attitude had completely changed, she was urgently seeking the truth.

This matter was too shocking!

If Pu Yang hadn’t secretly conducted this paternity test due to her intuition, then... how long would it have taken for someone to discover that Su Xiaomeng had another child alive?

"Yes... Why did she tell me the child was supposed to be a girl? Clearly, it was a boy, why deceive me by saying it’s a girl? Since she trusted me and took the initiative to tell me this, she wasn’t suspicious of me. Why say something false if she wasn’t suspicious?"

"Could they have made a mistake?" Pu Wei thought of this possibility.

"Who are ’they’?" Pu Yang asked Pu Wei.

"Um... Perhaps Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng got it wrong, or maybe it was a mistake at the hospital?"

"What if it’s Xiao Yan?"

Pu Yang asked, "If I remember correctly, five years ago, he was interning at Central Hospital. Whether he participated in that surgery, I need further investigation to find out, but... since he was interning here at the time, it’s very likely."

"Then I don’t understand, why would Xiao Yan do this? How do other people’s children relate to him? Yet if the child hadn’t died, how could he have said the child was dead? Didn’t Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng get easily fooled?"

Upon learning that Xiao Xiaoang was Su Xiaomeng’s child, Pu Wei was really finding it difficult to cope...

Her mind felt like it was tangled with countless strings, creating a dead knot, and unless she untangled this knot, Pu Wei truly felt she wouldn’t be able to sleep.

"Exactly... What was his motive for this? Going through all the trouble to snatch the child from Su Xiaomeng and Yin Shixiu... Why choose to take a child from the Yin Family when he has no grudges against them?"

Pu Wei was nearly pulling out her hair.

Pu Yang calmed herself and murmured, "After Shen Huan died, he took the child out, claiming it was his and Shen Huan’s child, secretly born by Shen Huan in the United States. He only talked about this to a few people within the circles, and friends who were close to Xiao Yan at the time were shocked."

"Indeed..."

"Shen Huan died, unable to testify, Xiao Yan went to the Shen Family claiming this was his and Shen Huan’s son, and the Shen Family believed him. There’s nothing more painful than losing a precious daughter, but this child continued Shen Huan’s bloodline, leaving a bit of hope for Shen Huan’s family and friends. Xiao Yan said he would raise the child, and the Shen Family didn’t object at the time."

"At the time, it was solely my sixth sense telling me that the origins of this child were definitely shrouded in mystery... I had no way to contact Xiao Xiaoang, nor any means to conduct a DNA test between unrelated individuals. If the matter escalated, it would be a world of trouble... But I still made exhaustive efforts to investigate."

Pu Yang spoke, taking a deep breath, leaned on the back seat, looking up at the car’s ceiling,

"Shen Huan was quite reclusive, even during her studies in the United States, she made no friends, lived alone. Investigating her personal life wasn’t easy. But ten months pregnant, it’s impossible to leave no trace when giving birth. The only possibility is she wasn’t pregnant at all, she never gave birth to a child."

"..."

Pu Wei was hearing these things for the first time, and all she could do was gulp down saliva, realizing her sister, who was younger by several years, had such inscrutably deep scheming thoughts.
