Chapter 998
Chen Jin was stunned beyond words. It was really her!
He had flashbacks to the scenes at the bar and the large bed in the dark room twenty years ago. He had never forgotten the face and the pair of eyes he had seen that day.
She was that woman twenty years ago.
And An’an called her Mom?
Chen Jin’s eyes shifted from Huo Yanmei to An’an in shock. It was unbelievable.
An’an was 21 years ago this year. Could she be… his daughter?
Emotions surged within Chen Jin and the thought grew in his heart. From the first time he laid eyes on An’an, he liked this young girl immensely. There was something about her that attracted him to her. Was this what you called… blood ties?
At this moment, Huo Yanmei quickly walked over and grasped An’an’s hand. “An’an, let Mom take a look. How’s your injuries? You scared me to death!”
This woman was very practical.
“21 years ago, after I finished my assignment, I sent someone to check on your identity but the surveillance camera at the hotel had been destroyed.”
He had attempted to look for her. Although he had committed the act during his assignment, he was not an irresponsible man.
His wife had already passed away six years ago.
Huo Yanmei’s voice was frosty. “I sent someone to do it. As the Young Madam of the Gu Family in Capital, I could not allow such news of my adultery to be leaked out.”
Chen Jin’s expression changed. So she was actually married.
“I’m sorry.”
Huo Yanmei did not respond.
“Has An’an lived well these years?”
Upon hearing this question, Huo Yanmei gradually turned around and looked at Chen Jin. “No.”
Chen Jin pursed his lips.
Huo Yanmei straightened her back. “My husband saw An’an as an embarrassment. When An’an was six years old, she was sent away to human traffickers by my husband. Lu Yan saved her, and after that she never returned home. She had leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant from the next-of-kin. I looked for you for so many years but I couldn’t find you. It’s fortunate that her Elder Brother dotes on her very much.”
Was An’an’s Elder Brother the son of her and her husband?
Chen Jin recollected An’an’s words just now. She said she did not have a father. How could she have possibly found him? He had been highly successful in life, and his personal information could not be easily traced at all.
“I’m sorry…” Chen Jin said.
The first apology was for her and the second apology was for An’an.
“No matter how many times you apologize, you can’t make it up to An’an. You are now the General, and so I hope you will treat An’an well.”
With that, Huo Yanmei left.
After she left, Chen Jin was rooted to the spot for a while. An’an was his daughter! His heart was filled with exuberant joy. He would surely make it up to her.
“General.” At this moment, the secretary walked over.
Chen Jin said, “Report to the management that An’an is my daughter. I want my name to be in An’an’s birth registration.”
An’an was his daughter and the daughter of the General. Once his name was on An’an’s registration, An’an would enjoy the respect and glory that she deserved.
The secretary said, “General, such a report will require a DNA paternity test. Should I go and carry it out?”
Actually Chen Jin had already determined An’an was his biological daughter even without a DNA paternity test, but he needed to follow the standard protocol.
“Go and get it done.”
“Yes, General.”
…
Lu Yan had returned to the corridor and Li Si was beside him. They saw Huo Yanmei walking out from the staircase landing, and then Chen Jin walking out with his secretary too.
Li Si looked at this scene and said in surprise, “Yan Zi, isn’t that An’an’s Mom, Huo Yanmei? Why did Huo Yanmei and General come out after each other? Do they know each other?”
Lu Yan stuck both hands into his pockets and his brown eyes glinted astutely and sharply.
Huo Yanmei and Chen Jin?
What was their relationship?
Lu Yan pursed his thin lips.
“Oh yes, Yan Zi, the General promised An’an to re-investigate your father’s case but did you have any suspicions about it? Your father’s case record was tampered with and it’s very likely done by the General. Why would the General do that?”
