Chapter 263: This Paternity Test Must Be Done
What happened back then was all his mother's own doing; he cannot be blamed.
He hoped his daughter would be able to understand him.
Blood relations are indeed very important; his relationship with Lin Meixi has grown increasingly poor, and they have long been sleeping in separate rooms. In this lifetime, it is highly likely that she is the only biological child he will ever have.
The mother and son had not waited long at the hospital entrance before the Bai mother and daughter came out.
Li Xuan pointed them out to her son with excitement, "Look! She looks so much like your little sister did when she was young! The old saying goes that a niece resembles her aunt; it must be your daughter, there's no mistake!"
Shen Chi also thought she looked like her, and perhaps because of their blood connection, he felt deeply moved the moment he saw the young girl.
They followed the mother and daughter the entire way, and to ensure there were no slip-ups, they followed them all the way home.
"Momo, close the door!" As soon as Bai Mu arrived home, she tied on her apron, preparing to make her daughter's favorite cola chicken wings.
Bai Mo responded, but when she went to close the door, she found she couldn't; looking down, she suddenly saw a foot.
"I am your father!" Shen Chi said, trying his best to appear affectionate.
"Ahhh!" Bai Mo screamed repeatedly in terror.
"What's wrong?" Bai Fu, who was watching TV in the living room, rushed over immediately, and Bai Mu also arrived at the door with a rolling pin from the kitchen.
Before Shen Chi and his mother could react, they were subdued and pinned to the ground by the retired soldier, Bai Fu.
"Who are you people? Are you here for a home invasion?" Bai Fu stepped on Shen Chi's face and said to his wife, "Call the police!"
Bai Mu, however, remembered the old woman she had seen earlier at Si Rong's house.
Could it be...
"Don't call the police!" Li Xuan hurriedly explained, "We are here to find my granddaughter. Your daughter was adopted from the Fuliyuan fifteen years ago, right?"
Bai Fu eased the pressure of his foot.
The child was grown; if she truly wanted to return to her biological parents, it would not be right for them to stand in her way.
They only hoped that this family, in consideration of the fact that they had sincerely cherished the child for so many years, would allow them to see her from time to time.
"Get up, sorry about that," Bai Fu helped Shen Chi and his mother up from the floor.
Shen Chi's gaze landed on Bai Mo, and he got straight to the point, "I want to acknowledge my daughter."
"Yes!" Li Xuan also hurriedly added, "That was all my daughter-in-law's fault back then. As soon as my son went to prison, she wanted to be with another man, which is why she sent the child to the Fuliyuan. But as soon as I found out, I rushed to the Fuliyuan to look for her, but unfortunately, I couldn't find her."
Bai Fu caught the main point in this sentence, "You went to prison? What for?"
If it was a very serious issue, he would not feel at ease letting Momo go back with him.
Shen Chi:...
He glared fiercely at Li Xuan.
Truly, no matter how much one racks their brains, it can never compare to the sudden "inspiration" of a fool.
Everything was fine, and no one knew he had been to prison; why did she have to bring it up?
Was she trying to ruin him?
"It was a misunderstanding," he originally intended to brush it off, "I had a bit of a conflict with someone."
Li Xuan wanted to help her son and hurriedly said, "It was Si Rong! Si Rong framed my son for child trafficking, which is why my son went to prison. But my son behaved well; he was sentenced to seven years and got out in six and a half."
Shen Chi:...
He wished he could go back in; with a mother like this, nothing he did would ever succeed, and he would go crazy sooner or later.
The Bai parents exchanged a look, their bodies leaning back in unison, silently increasing the distance between them and the others.
"Coming to our door so abruptly, I cannot trust your identities," Bai Fu thought for a moment and said, "The child's mother didn't come?"
"She..." Shen Chi was just about to find some excuse.
Li Xuan spoke up again, as if she were the only one in the world with a mouth.
"She remarried and had another son, who should be a year younger than Momo. But it doesn't matter if that woman comes or not; once we take Momo home, my son and I will definitely cherish her sincerely."
Bai Fu & Bai Mu:...
If Momo's biological parents' family situation was like this, they were not very reassured.
"Let's not talk about this for now," Bai Fu thought, "We had better go to the hospital for a paternity test to be sure."
As for what happens after it is confirmed, he would have to deliberate further.
"Good, that is the most secure way." Shen Chi agreed as well.
But Bai Mo could not accept these two strange people; the girl, who had always been docile, slammed her door shut for the first time.
Bai Mu watched with unbearable sadness; looking at the mother and son on the sofa, she wished with all her heart that Momo had been born to her, so she could always stay by her daughter's side openly and honestly.
"Momo, don't be like this; Mom and Dad won't abandon you."
Bai Mo buried her head in her quilt.
"Make them get out! I won't go with them for a paternity test!"
Why? Why would such a thing happen to her?
When her parents told her about her background before, she had been able to smile and say, "Mom and Dad raised me, so I am Mom and Dad's daughter."
"Since they threw me into the Fuliyuan, they abandoned me; I will not acknowledge them."
At the time, Bai Mo had felt upset for a while, but then let it go, as she thought that family would likely never come looking for her.
But she never expected that they would actually come looking for her!
And they kept harping on about wanting her to go back!
She would not go back.
Bai Mo's voice was loud, and Shen Chi and Li Xuan, sitting on the sofa, heard every word clearly.
"This child, how did you raise her to have such a big temper?"
Li Xuan was somewhat dissatisfied; if she took such a granddaughter back, would she be able to serve her well?
"Shut up!" Shen Chi could no longer tolerate her; he truly wished he could take a needle and sew her mouth shut.
He calmed his mind and said to Bai Fu, "I see that you are also a military family, not the kind of unreasonable people; this paternity test must be done, and I hope you can persuade Momo again."
When he entered the door, he had observed the Bai family, and the photo of the family of three hanging on the wall made him feel very uncomfortable inside.
Originally, his daughter should have been in that family portrait with him.
It is more reliable to do a paternity test; otherwise, he would not have treated the child that the bitch Lin Meixi had with Kong Lingdong as his own son.
Therefore, this paternity test must be done.
"How about another day?" Bai Fu knew his daughter couldn't accept it for the moment, so he thought about waiting two days, "This kind of thing is not urgent; let's go when the child is in a better mood."
"You aren't in a hurry, but we are!" Li Xuan could not stand the way the couple spoiled their daughter like this.
Shen Yuan is an example; she was spoiled rotten by Si Rong since she was little and later refused to be disciplined when she was by her side.
Besides, if they left, what if this Bai couple took her granddaughter and ran away overnight?
"Look, talking for so long is useless," Li Xuan looked at the cautious appearance of Bai Mu and felt extremely awkward, "Why don't we just kick the door open and take her to the hospital?"
