Chapter 97 - The DNA Test (2)
Ye Tianxin scanned through the results. She couldn’t make heads or tails of the report. There were only numbers—lots of them.
She stared at the results in silence, and then she looked at Li Qingcang blankly and remarked, “I don’t get it.”
Li Qingcang took the report from her. His brows furrowed as he scanned through it. He then informed Ye Tianxin, “As expected, you’re not his daughter.”
When Ye Tianxin heard this, she gradually loosened up. “I’m not…I’m not…I’m not Lu Jijun’s daughter. But if I’m not his daughter, then who’s my father? Why does he keep insisting that I’m his daughter?”
Questions occupied Ye Tianxin’s mind. She knew who could provide her with answers. “Let’s go meet Lu Jijun,” she decided.
Now that she was relieved and in sound mind, she no longer had to worry about being morally coerced by Lu Jijun.
Lu Jijun was startled when he heard the door open. When he saw the calm expression on Ye Tianxin’s youthful face, it dawned on him that she was now aware of the fact that he was not her biological father.

“Mr. Lu, let me ask you again. Am I your daughter?”
Qin Lili immediately looked at Lu Jijun when she heard Ye Tianxin’s question. ‘Is she his daughter?’ Ye Tianxin’s question echoed in Qin Lili’s mind.
Lu Jijun’s lips curled up into a small smile when he heard this. He thought that he could take the secret to his grave as long as he insisted that she was his daughter, but he never expected her to be so clever.
“No,” he replied truthfully, for he knew that the DNA report had already revealed that Ye Tianxin was not his daughter.
“But, to my eyes, you are my daughter because you are her daughter. I’m doing this for your own good.”
Ye Tianxin laughed when she heard Lu Jijun’s explanation and suddenly felt strange.
“What? She’s not your daughter?” Qin Lili gasped. Ignoring the guards, she dashed over to Lu Jijun and began to shake his shoulders as she yelled at him, “Lu Jijun, are you insane? How could you take a random stranger as your daughter? Don’t you know how upset Qingxin was?”
But Lu Jijun waved her off so hard that she fell to the ground. “Shut the hell up!” he roared.
At that moment, Lu Jijun could only feel hatred towards Qin Lili. ‘If she hadn’t foolishly taken this upon herself, Tianxin would never have thought of taking a DNA test,’ he thought.
“Lu Jijun, you’ll burn in hell!” Qin Lili shrieked as she sat limply on the ground. She felt like weeping, but her agony was too deep for tears. All along, she had thought that Ye Tianxin was her husband’s illegitimate daughter. That was why she went to the hospital, where she eventually lost her rationality and committed such a foolish act. Even until now, she still could not understand why she did what she did.

However, Lu Jijun could not be bothered about Qin Lili at all and merely continued to look at Ye Tianxin affectionately.
“You look just like your mother. I mean it, Tianxin. Your mother is the best woman in the world. Alas, an unfortunate and painful twist of fate,” he sighed as he reminisced about the glorious days of his youth.
Those vivid memories were engraved in his heart and would remain there until the day he died. Her face and animated expressions would often appear in his dreams, and he would call out her name affectionately over and over again.
“I love your mother very much. I don’t know who your father is, but I do know that he came from a wealthy family. Your mother often talked about him. When she told me that she was pregnant with you, she was really happy. She did not inform your father about the pregnancy. She wanted to surprise him when he returns.”
