Chapter 23 The Real or Fake Paternity Test

Fang Qirui was still his usual honest self, stammering and unable to explain clearly, but Ji Yisi was different—stubborn as a mule, refusing to admit anything.

She stood up in anger and shame, insisting that all of it was fake, forged by the father and daughter of the Yu family. They were just afraid that if Fang Xinran were recognized and returned, she would take part of the Yu family’s inheritance.

【Wasn’t that your plan all along?】

【You looked down on Fang Qirui’s small security company, thought there wasn’t much profit to share, and figured if Yu Xing gave your daughter a little dividend, you and your daughter would be set for the rest of your lives.】

Yu Xiangqiao instantly felt confident. She snorted coldly, “Ha! Isn’t that exactly what you were thinking? Even if my dad favors sons and gives the company to my eldest brother, he would still give me, the third, and the fourth child a share. That little dividend alone would let you and Fang Xinran live comfortably for half your lives—you’re not stupid! Luckily you had a daughter. If you’d had a son, wouldn’t you have wanted him to join the company and compete with my brother?”

【It’s only because your dad was too cautious that Ji Yisi didn’t succeed.】

【If she had succeeded, who knows—you might have gained a few more brothers and sisters by now.】

【Ji Yisi really is ruthless—she had several pregnancies and aborted them all, yet acted all loving in front of your dad, pretending he was the only man in her life… tsk tsk tsk…】

【Fortunately, your dad learned his lesson after being tricked once; not just her, but any other women outside are kept tightly away. No one is allowed to succeed.】

Hearing this, Yu Xing straightened his back significantly.

Of course—once bitten, twice shy. From now on, he would be cautious. No woman, except his wife and children, could get close to him or be alone with him.

He looked at Zhong Wenmei, silently asking for praise.

Was she angry about that? No, she was angry that Yu Xing had kept things from her. Zhong Wenmei glared at him: “You better be honest with me!”

Yu Xing’s newly straightened back drooped again.

Sigh… the wife’s anger isn’t easy to calm!

As for the rest of the “gossip,” Ruan Yaoyao couldn’t hear it. The family of three had already left, and if she stayed, it would look like she was just watching for entertainment. Though she wanted to, it wasn’t her place—so she left quietly.

After Yu Xiangqiao finished feeding the baby, they headed back.

On the way back, Xu Lianghan remembered he had something to handle at the company. He asked the driver to take Ruan Yaoyao and the baby home, and he took Yu Xiangqiao along.

Ruan Yaoyao didn’t ask why Yu Xiangqiao was going to the company too—she didn’t want to interfere in the young couple’s affairs. She only reminded Yu Xiangqiao not to miss the baby’s meal, otherwise she would feed formula.

“Mom, don’t worry! I’ll definitely come back to breastfeed!” Yu Xiangqiao said firmly, as if completing a sacred task.

Of course—her daughter was her mother-in-law’s soft spot. If she didn’t maintain this advantage, how could she lean on her mother-in-law in the future?

Once formula was fed, would the mother even matter? No. So she had to insist on breastfeeding, maintaining her “close bond” with her daughter.

The excuse about the company was just that—the young couple wanted a pretext to part ways with Ruan Yaoyao and return to the Yu family.

There was still a mess to clean up.

For example, the younger brother who had been tied up and gagged.

Yu Heng looked at Xu Lianghan and Yu Xiangqiao returning halfway, his eyes red with anger. He went straight to complain to Yu Xing and Zhong Wenmei, saying how horrible they were!

And how could they treat Fang Xinran like that? She was innocent in all this.

“How is she innocent? She’s one of the beneficiaries of this whole matter. What are you thinking? I want to open your head and see what’s going on.” Yu Xiangqiao found it unbelievable.

She thought her brother, who had been listening all this time, would have figured something out—but all he got from it was this?

Did he even realize that their own parents had been schemed against?

“Back then, she was just a child. How could you blame her? Besides, wasn’t Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang always lying to her, telling her she was Dad’s biological daughter…” Yu Heng felt relieved—it wasn’t a real paternity, otherwise it would have been an improper relationship.

He wished he could rush out and tell Fang Xinran: Don’t worry. Even if you’re not Dad’s biological daughter, you can still be his daughter-in-law. You’d still call him Dad.

Fortunately, Ruan Yaoyao wasn’t here; if she had heard everyone’s thoughts, she would have been furious.

Well, Yu Xiangqiao was already furious enough.

No matter how she explained to Yu Heng, he didn’t get it.

There was no choice—they had to set this matter aside for now. The Yu family had been schemed against by Fang Xinran’s family for so many years—they couldn’t let it go.

Even though the paternity test she produced was fake, a real one had to be done. Regardless of legal effect, it could at least prove that Fang Xinran had no relation to their family.

Also, the Fang family had “cheated” so much money and resources from them—they needed to reclaim it.

Yu Heng hadn’t spoken much before Yu Xiangqiao silenced him manually. She didn’t want to hear his nonsensical, brainless chatter.

Of course, it couldn’t just be their word. They had to notify Yu Yan, the eldest at the hospital, and let him know what was going on.

After all, the Yu family company was now managed by the eldest brother.

Also, the youngest sister, Yu Tingrong, wasn’t home and knew nothing—they had to explain it to her too.

…

“What?! That paternity test was fake?!”

When Fang Xinran learned this from Yu Heng, she exploded.

“Your sister is too much! How could she do that? Is she really that afraid I’ll enter the Yu family and take her stuff?”

“No, you misunderstood…” Yu Heng hurried to explain, “That paternity test was fake, but your relationship with your dad is real. Really. I’m not lying. My sister meant they needed a real test to replace the fake one…”

Before Heng could finish, Fang Xinran didn’t want to hear more. All she knew was that the paternity test Yu Xiangqiao produced was fake. That meant she and Yu Xing were indeed father and daughter—she had been deceived by Yu Xiangqiao.

“I have something to do, I’m leaving!”

She said this, grabbed her bag, and left.

Yu Heng panicked: “Hey, you just got here! You haven’t even had your coffee!”

But unfortunately, Fang Xinran had already gone, not even looking back.

Yu Heng sulkily took a red rose out from under his jacket on the sofa—he had wanted to confess today.

Meanwhile, Yu Group posted an announcement on their official company account, canceling all cooperation with Fang Security Company.

Employees at Fang Security were shocked. They relied heavily on Yu Group for business, and losing this partnership would be a huge blow.

The secretary quickly contacted Fang Qirui, urging him to figure something out.

Fang Qirui hung up, extremely frustrated. He had expected Yu family to cut off funds after finding out, but he hadn’t expected Yu Xing to act so ruthlessly and quickly.

Even if Fang Xinran wasn’t Yu Xing’s biological daughter, he and Ji Yisi had followed Yu Xing for so many years and even sent their daughter to please them. Effort should count for something.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

His little mistress noticed his bad mood and didn’t disturb him—she went to open the door.

When she opened it, she was startled: “Sister… sister?!”
