Chapter 275: Is Jiang Sinian having an early romance?

~8 min read 1,520 words

Shen Yuan made a prompt decision to pluck a hair from her own head to compare; it wasn't her own, so it must be that girl Bai Mo's!

She was suddenly ecstatic, holding the hair up to Geng Xiaofeng and saying, "I got it!"

Although not in the way she had originally planned.

Hair can also be used to test blood relations.

"I'm going to my brother's house!"

After she left, Geng Xiaofeng sighed; the wife he married was good in every way, except that she was always focused on the messy affairs of her brother's family, somewhat neglecting him as a husband.

Besides, from his perspective, the girl Bai Mo had clearly been pampered by Bai Jia Fumu while growing up all these years.

Even if Bai Mo really were his brother-in-law's biological daughter, he doubted Bai Mo would be grateful in the future to Shen Yuan, the aunt who had tried so hard to facilitate her recognition.

Forget it, these matters had nothing to do with him after all; if he said too much, Shen Yuan would get upset.

He hoped that after helping her brother find his daughter, Shen Yuan would also consider their own future more.

He was already nearly thirty years old this year, and it was time he wanted to be a father.

……

"What? This is Bai Mo's hair?" Shen Chi wiped the dust off his hands on his pant legs and took the hair from his younger sister's hand with extreme caution, "How did you get it?"

"Asked her over for a meal at home, and it fell out." Shen Yuan felt a pang of sadness seeing how her brother treated this hair like a treasure, "Brother, let's go get the test done quickly, shall we?"

Finding his daughter sooner would give her brother something to look forward to in his life.

The siblings went to the hospital immediately and performed a comparative test on the hair of Shen Chi and Bai Mo.

The results would take three days.

"If Bai Mo really is your biological daughter," Shen Yuan said, "we must sue that hospital from back then! Sue them for accepting bribes and falsifying the test!"

"Sue them with what? Where is the evidence?" Having been beaten down by society, Shen Chi now knew that ordinary people in this world had no right to demand fairness.

The original paternity test results were taken away by Bai Jia Fumu, and they had no proof to back up their claims now.

However, if the comparison this time confirmed that he and Bai Mo were indeed biological father and daughter, he would definitely take his daughter back.

In this world, everyone is a lonely individual; only blood ties can bind them together forever.

It was like that for him and his younger sister, and it would be like that for him and his daughter.

Perhaps his daughter would hate him for a time, but she would never hate him for a lifetime.

……

"Why are you back so late? Where have you been running wild again?" Si Rong got a headache whenever she saw this son.

Si Yu had been back from school for so long that she had finished her homework and washed up for bed, yet he was only just sneaking back now.

"Mom, I went to play ball with my classmates."

Si Rong watched his back as he ran upstairs and sensed that her son was lying.

Under normal circumstances, she could smell the stench of sweat on her son within two meters when he came back from playing ball, but today there was none.

When she returned to the room, she told Jiang Cheng her suspicions, "You say, high school is the time when hearts first stir; do you think Si Nian is having an early romance?"

Jiang Cheng coughed twice, "That shouldn't be possible, right? He can't sit still all day like he has ADHD; which little girl would take a fancy to him? If she had to date him for a day, wouldn't she be left with a sore waist and aching legs?"

Si Rong: ……

Sure enough, only a biological father could say such things.

"The son is acting strange," Si Rong lay down and habitually stretched her legs over Jiang Cheng, "Give me a massage for a while and let me ponder this properly."

Jiang Cheng skillfully began to serve his wife; over the years, he had accumulated a wealth of massage experience and could almost open a massage parlor.

Si Rong enjoyed the massage for a while, but still decided she had to infiltrate the enemy's interior.

The interior, of course, referred to one-half of the twins.

In the morning, Jiang Sinian grabbed a bag of milk as usual and rode his bicycle away.

Si Rong placed a steamed bun in front of her daughter, "Forget about him, you eat more, Juzi."

Jiang Siyu keenly sensed something; her mother wouldn't come down this early unless something was up.

She had to do her skincare and practice yoga.

When things are abnormal, there must be a demon afoot.

"Um, I still have to go to school..." Jiang Siyu wanted to slip away, but it was too late, because her father came down the stairs with a smile, "Daughter, sit for a while longer, Dad has something he wants to ask you."

Jiang Siyu: ……

Following his wife's instructions, Jiang Cheng prepared to ask tactfully.

"Is your brother dating anyone at school?"

Jiang Siyu swallowed the bun in her mouth, "Um, I don't know."

Although that guy, her brother, was annoying and hateful, she still couldn't snitch on him about this kind of thing.

"You know, just tell Mom and Dad," Jiang Cheng presented powerful evidence, "You two are twins, after all."

Jiang Siyu: ……

"We are twins, and I am your dearest daughter. Just think, how could my brother not know for all these years that I'm on the same side as you two? If he were dating, would he let me know?"

"If I knew, wouldn't that be the same as you two knowing?"

Jiang Cheng was convinced by his daughter.

"Alright then, you go to class first. Remember to keep an eye on your brother when you have time, and report to us if there's any situation."

Jiang Siyu hurried away.

Once at school, she immediately went to Jiang Sinian to claim credit.

"Did you take Bai Mo somewhere and get seen by Mom and Dad?" Jiang Siyu complained, "I was just interrogated by Mom and Dad for ages."

Jiang Sinian glanced at her, "You betrayed me again?"

"No!" Jiang Siyu kicked his calf, "You heartless guy! I was kindly reminding you; anyway, I didn't let anything slip to Mom and Dad, you should thank me!"

"Fine, fine, thank you, I thank your eight generations of ancestors, is that enough?" Jiang Sinian said perfunctorily.

He found it a bit strange; how did his mom and dad know he was dating Bai Mo?

But it didn't matter; if he dared to date, he wasn't afraid of his parents knowing.

Besides, his mom already quite liked Bai Mo, so he figured she wouldn't oppose them.

When he returned home after school that evening, Jiang Sinian had expected his parents to continue questioning him, but they didn't.

They acted as if they knew absolutely nothing about the matter.

Jiang Sinian simply decided to act as if he knew nothing either.

The next day was Saturday; early in the morning, Si Rong instructed the two of them to stay home and do their homework properly, saying she was going back to the Si Family for a visit.

The Si Matriarch was now at the advanced age of eighty-five; Si Rong went back to chat with her, then trimmed her nails and cleaned her ears, while Jiang Cheng played Chinese chess with Si Yan in the garden.

It wasn't until evening that the two of them drove home.

Just as they had expected, neither of the two children was at home.

Jiang Siyu was usually at the Jiang family's place next door, while it was hard to say for Jiang Sinian.

However, Si Rong knew where he was.

The Zhangshu Street in the county town had undergone a major renovation; the camphor trees from before were now even sturdier, allowing people strolling down the street to enjoy the cool shade even in the scorching summer heat.

Many young couples in love would go there to stroll.

Walking on Zhangshu Street, Jiang Cheng insisted that Si Rong take his arm, "Do you know what the thing I regret most in this life is?"

Si Rong shook her head.

"That I wasn't more proactive when I was young."

That was why they had missed out on so many years; in the blink of an eye, they had already grown old.

"In the next life, I'll give you priority for that opportunity," Si Rong said with a pursed-lip smile, "We have serious business right now!"

"Up ahead, is that them?" Si Rong saw her son standing face-to-face with a girl, holding hands.
