Chapter 187: DNA Testing, Cheng Wan Has a Brother

~7 min read 1,358 words

Cheng Huade is dead.

Cheng Han is dead.

As Cheng Han's legal wife, Qin Yunshu has a share in that massive company.

The more she thinks, the more excited she becomes, and the gaze she casts toward the operating room is laced with malice.

It would be best if Cheng Han died inside.

Hurried footsteps approach, accompanied by Cheng Mingzhu's urgent voice: "What happened?"

She knows nothing as of yet.

It was only when a lawyer came to her door with a will that she learned such a major event had occurred in the family, and she rushed to the Yiyuan.

She does not even know that Cheng Huade was swept away by the river, his whereabouts unknown, his life or death uncertain.

"Mingzhu," Qin Yunshu says with feigned grief.

Cheng Mingzhu does not want to listen to her; instead, she grips Cheng Wan's hands and presses, "Tell me, what happened?"

Cheng Wan hates Cheng Huade, but she feels sympathy for Cheng Mingzhu.

She is just a girl with a fiery temper who is straightforward and direct; such a truth is cruel enough for her.

Yet, she will have to know sooner or later.

Cheng Wan starts from the moment she was kidnapped and finishes with Cheng Huade falling into the river.

Her tone is very slow and measured, giving Cheng Mingzhu enough time to process it.

"Impossible, my father is not that kind of person." Cheng Mingzhu cannot accept it.

Her father is the best father in the world; how could he possibly do such a thing?

Besides, although he was strict with Cheng Han, he always kept him by his side to teach him carefully, and the eldest uncle's family... how could Father be the murderer who killed the eldest uncle?

Cheng Mingzhu's world has collapsed.

"There must be a misunderstanding." She staggers backward, her body hitting the wall.

"Mingzhu, you must be strong." Cheng Wan forces herself to comfort her, "Regardless of everything, I think your father hoped you would live a good life."

"I... I have to go find him." Cheng Mingzhu stumbles as she tries to leave.

Someone walks toward them.

Cheng Mingzhu recognizes him; it is the company lawyer, who has always followed her father.

"Uncle Wang." Cheng Mingzhu's tears cannot stop, "Is Dad... is he..."

She is sobbing uncontrollably.

Lawyer Wang pats her shoulder and sighs with pity.

Cheng Huade ran alone when he fled, but in private, he had left a way out and a will for Cheng Mingzhu.

Although Cheng Huade's body has not been found, there is basically no possibility of survival.

That is why Lawyer Wang has come.

He takes a document out of his briefcase; it is the will Cheng Huade left for Cheng Mingzhu.

Cheng Huade left enough money for this daughter, but as for the company shares, he transferred them to Cheng Han.

Of course, if he were alive, he would never have let Cheng Han lay a finger on the company.

But producing this will now means he has met with an accident, and since he only has Cheng Mingzhu as a daughter, and she is not cut out for business, the company would eventually have to be handed over to Cheng Han anyway.

Having fought for a lifetime, he still could not bear to see the company fall into the hands of outsiders.

It is just that in Cheng Huade's plans, there were only two outcomes.

Either he lived, or Cheng Han lived.

The current situation of one dead and one injured was not within his expectations.

"Young Master Cheng is currently undergoing emergency treatment, and I shouldn't be saying such things, but it is best to be prepared for the other possibility; if the Young Master does not survive, the company will need someone who can make decisions."

Qin Yunshu stands up straight, tucking her long hair behind her ears to display the poise of a Young Mistress of the Cheng Family.

She is Cheng Han's wife and is the most qualified person to be the one making decisions.

"Lawyer Wang, I will handle Cheng Han's affairs." Her face is haggard, but her eyes are filled with ambition.

Lawyer Wang nods, "Of course, the Young Master's affairs should be handled by you, but we are currently talking about the company's affairs."

He takes out another document, "I have another arrangement here, from the Young Master."

Qin Yunshu has a bad premonition.

Cheng Han's arrangement?

He did not know he would meet with an accident, so how could he have any arrangements?

As if knowing her question, Lawyer Wang explains, "The Young Master wrote this arrangement three months ago and had it notarized; to be precise, it is also a will."

It is just that since Cheng Han is still in emergency treatment, calling it a will is a bit excessive.

He opens the document, "The Young Master's arrangement is that if anything happens to him, all his assets will belong to Miss Cheng Wan."

"As for the Young Mistress, the Young Master has set aside five million for you separately, and you will also keep your marital home."

"Impossible." Qin Yunshu widens her eyes and snatches the document away.

It is Cheng Wan again.

Cheng Han left everything to Cheng Wan.

"I am his wife; how could he leave everything to Cheng Wan?"

Five million and a marital home are not worth mentioning within the Cheng Family's massive assets.

Qin Yunshu cannot accept this.

She makes no effort to hide her jealousy and hatred, suddenly looking at Cheng Wan, "What exactly is your relationship with him?"

Why should everything belong to Cheng Wan?

Lawyer Wang took out another document, "According to the DNA test, Miss Cheng Wan is indeed the young master's long-lost sister."

"What?" Qin Yunshu was incredulous.

She had a feeling that everything she had would be snatched away by Cheng Wan once again.

"I don't believe it. If Cheng Wan really is his sister, why would he hide it?" Qin Yunshu questioned shrilly.

She tore the will in her hands to shreds.

Lawyer Wang pushed up his glasses; what he had taken out was a copy, so he let Qin Yunshu tear it.

Cheng Wan read the DNA test over and over again, tears streaming down her face.

So what Chu Li said was true.

She really was Cheng Han's biological sister.

She sat powerlessly in the chair, with only one thought in her heart, and that was to pray that Cheng Han could live.

He must live.

"Yun Shu, this is true." Chu Li gripped Qin Yunshu's wrist, stopping her from acting crazy.

This time, Qin Yunshu cried sincerely, and she asked Chu Li with teary eyes, "So you knew about this a long time ago, didn't you? Brother, you lied to me too."

Chu Li explained in a deep voice, "It wasn't lying to you; it's just that what Cheng Han is doing is dangerous, and he didn't want to drag Cheng Wan into it."

If Cheng Huade knew Cheng Wan's identity, he wouldn't have threatened her at all, but would have taken Cheng Wan away directly.

The consequences would have been even more serious.

Qin Yunshu, however, was incomparably heartbroken, "He worries about his own sister's safety, yet he could drag me into it, and in the end, he didn't even want to save me."

Cheng Han was too heartless and cruel.

"In your hearts, Cheng Wan is the most important; you all love her and protect her." She whispered to herself, laughing self-deprecatingly, "You are my husband and my brother, yet you both abandon me."

"Yun Shu." Coldness gathered in Chu Li's eyes, "What you need to do now is wait for Cheng Han to wake up, not argue here over property."

"Cheng Han isn't dead yet." He reminded her.

Qin Yunshu suddenly came to her senses; that was right, Cheng Han wasn't dead yet, she still had hope.

She covered her cheeks and began to cry, "I know, I only hate that the person lying inside isn't me."

She prayed in a murmur, "Cheng Han, you must be alright, don't leave me behind."
