Chapter 3: Paternity Test

The steward looked about forty-something, which didn't quite match Su Yu's age.

No, I was hired by the child's father to look after this child.

The policeman's heart skipped a beat; it seemed this brat was lying and causing a fuss.

I'm not their biological child! If you don't believe me, have him come to this hospital for a paternity test!

Su Yu grabbed the policeman's hand and couldn't pry it open. The young policeman looked awkwardly at the steward. He surely couldn't hurt a child, could he?

The steward sighed, "Miss Xiangxiang, the mistress has returned home."

Su Yu's small body involuntarily trembled.

I must have Mr. Jiang Qiyu come and do a paternity test with me! As a citizen of this country, I refuse to live with someone who isn't my biological father! I want to find my birth family!

Upon hearing this, the steward looked at the police. The police looked very determined, absolutely unwilling to release their grip on Su Yu's hand and uniform, and whispered a suggestion,

Why not let the parents come and do a paternity test? The child still needs proper parental companionship.

Combined with the fact that the child in the hospital is only cared for by a hired aunt, the policeman imagined many scenes of the child lacking affection, feeling a bit soft-hearted. Such a family probably wouldn't be short on the money for a paternity test; it's like buying the child peace of mind.

The steward could only call Jiang Qiyu and ask him to come over.

Jiang Qiyu remained gentle, "Baby, your mother just found out about this; she also wants to come and do a paternity test with you."

Okay!

Su Yu wasn't the least bit panicked.

Su Yu and Jiang Qiyu had blood drawn in turn, and Shui Wanhua, Ms. Shui, soon arrived. After her blood draw, her eyes welled with tears, and she looked at Su Yu somewhat hurt.

"Xiangxiang, Mom is very sad."

Su Yu didn't dare lift her head to look at her. Seeing this, the young policeman made a judgment in his heart, looking at how well-behaved she was, yet still a little brat!

The policeman stood aside, and with Jiang Qiyu choosing the most expensive test price, the paternity report for the three of them came out three hours later.

Holy shit, they really aren't biological father and daughter!

The doctor thought it was for official use, so he first handed it to the police. When the two young men saw the reports showing Su Yu and Jiang Qiyu were not biological father and daughter, they were startled.

Just now, they thought the child was just being mischievous and bothering the adults, but reality gave them a slap. This child really isn't theirs biologically.

Jiang Qiyu's gentle face froze; he didn't care about decorum, snatched the report from the policeman's hand, and stared fixedly at the conclusion: "Jiang Qiyu is not the biological father of Jiang Xiangxiang; they have no parent-child relationship."

Shui Wanhua hurried over to take a look, and her face also froze.

This is impossible! How could this child not be my husband's?

Under the low pressure from Jiang Qiyu and Shui Wanhua, another report was sent out.

Shui Wanhua snatched it and flipped to the last page.

No, she really isn't our daughter! Where is our daughter? My daughter!

Shui Wanhua knelt and sobbed; Jiang Qiyu returned to his gentle demeanor to comfort his wife. Su Yu let out a breath of relief, finally able to shake off this identity.

The young policeman was also dazed. He thought his performance from this call was gone, but then it miraculously came back?

The child isn't from the Jiang family, and Su Yu firmly refuses to go back with Jiang Qiyu, so the policeman could only call in colleagues to work overtime to investigate events from back then.

At the same time, Jiang Qiyu was also having people look into it.

At the police station, Jiang Qiyu still gently crouched down, looking at Su Yu, "Baby, how do you know you're not our biological child?"

The tearful Shui Wanhua and the policeman beside her both looked at Su Yu.

Other children's parents wouldn't treat Baby the way you do.

Jiang Qiyu stiffly tugged at the corner of his mouth, then stopped asking further. Shui Wanhua continued to cry for her poor daughter.

Other policemen wanted to ask how Jiang Qiyu and his family treated Su Yu, but dared not. Su Yu seemed too normal—aside from being a bit thin, her mental state didn't look like that of an abused child.

Those who couldn't get in on the gossip felt an itch in their hearts, the whole lot out of sorts, until another main character arrived.

Ji Yan felt that heaven really liked to joke with her. Her parents didn't raise her, and after her husband got his license he disappeared—fine enough—but after painstakingly raising a daughter for three years, it turned out she might not be hers.

【This is my mom!】

Ji Yan, in a daze, took her daughter to the police station, where she heard a clear child's voice.

Her gaze swept over the people present, finally settling on a little cutie with big round eyes.

Was she just speaking?

She indeed looks very much like her missing husband, just a bit thinner.

Another little girl followed beside Ji Yan, somewhat afraid as she looked at the group of adults.

Jiang Qiyu's gentle gaze remained unchanged; he gave Ji Yan a slight nod, while Shui Wanhua looked with pity at the child suspected to be her own biological daughter.

Another long wait.

The girl Ji Yan brought over was confirmed to be Jiang Qiyu and Shui Wanhua's child. Ms. Shui Wanhua held the child and sobbed.

Ji Yan felt a bit embarrassed watching this scene. After all, she had painstakingly raised a child for three years, and she was somewhat reluctant to let go.

【Mom doesn't like me?】

Ji Yan heard the child's voice again, but clearly the other child hadn't opened their mouth.

Hello, I'm your mother!

Ji Yan walked up to Su Yu, crouched down, and tentatively reached out her hand.

Su Yu quickly placed her little paw on it.

Hello, Mom, I'm your daughter!

【Wow! Mom's hand looks so nice! I want to pinch it!】

Ji Yan instinctively pinched the daughter's hand upon hearing that; it was too thin. Could her biological child also be unhealthy? She was clearly a full-term birth!

No, the child in front of her clearly hadn't spoken, so what was she hearing?

Ji Yan looked at her own biological daughter, but her attention remained on her hand.

"Baby, are you willing to come home with me?"

Willing!

Look, what my mom said—if I don't go home with you, do I have to go wandering? Oh! I get it, Mom is afraid I won't want to give up the Jiang family's wealth, right? Wait, I'll give you a reassurance pill right now!

Su Yu ran over to find the child in Shui Wanhua's arms.

This sister, the necklace was bought by your parents; I'll give it back to you!

Another girl saw the shining gem, her eyes filling with light.

Seeing this, Shui Wanhua immediately took it over to put it on her daughter. She lifted the child's hair and saw an ordinary red string. She quickly took it out, looked at it, and found it was a piece of jade.

Dear, shall we wear this?

Shui Wanhua held the necklace and swayed it in front of her daughter.

The little girl reluctantly glanced at the jade, then at the necklace; her big, watery eyes looked at Shui Wanhua, then at Ji Yan, and she remained silent.

No way, no way, you want both? How can you be so greedy! Mom, are you reluctant to let her go? You already have my little treasure! How can you be reluctant to let her go!
