Chapter 315 Re-doing the Paternity Test
“Yes, I will. But President, would you like to have Niu Niu’s DNA sample tested again? We can investigate the details of what happened last time. The fastest way to confirm this now is for you and Niu Niu to get tested again. Gu Zhiyao is leaving the country with Chenchen and Niu Niu the day after tomorrow, right? If you get tested now, you can get the results tomorrow, which will be just in time to stop Gu Zhiyao! We thought it was only Chenchen, and the court awarded custody to her. But if it’s both children, that’s a different story. In any case, they should each have one!” Quan Xinyu suggested.
He Yi was so excited that he only then remembered this. "Yes, you're right, Quan Xinyu. Thank you for reminding me. I'll give you a bonus later!"
"Hehe, President, you're too kind." Quan Xinyu chuckled, though he said it wasn't necessary, he was secretly overjoyed. "President, is there anything I can do for the paternity test?"
"No need, I'll arrange that myself. You go and check the three things I just instructed you to do."
"Ok!"
call ended.
He Yi remained extremely excited.
After a while, he calmed down.
Back to Niu Niu and Chen Chen's side.
But he was only a mortal, and he almost couldn't hold back several times.
Niu Niu also felt that Uncle He Yi was acting strangely today. Although his eyes were still gentle and full of love when he looked at her, they seemed different from usual.
Of course, Niu Niu was still a child, and even though she was curious, she didn't linger on it for long. She played with her brother the whole time, while He Yi, after getting Niu Niu's DNA sample, made an excuse to leave.
The old lady had just woken up from her afternoon nap and took the opportunity to give him some instructions. "Ayi, Zhiyao is leaving with the child the day after tomorrow. You need to keep a close eye on Zheng Yuanxi these next two days and make sure she doesn't do anything that could cause trouble, understand?"
He Yi looked at his grandmother and remembered that the nanny had told him that his grandmother had cried a lot today, obviously because she was reluctant to part with Chenchen. He almost wanted to tell his grandmother that Niu Niu was also a descendant of the He family!
However, remembering that the matter had not been confirmed yet, and worried that his grandmother might tell Gu Zhiyao if she found out, he held back for the time being and replied to the old lady as if nothing had happened, "Yes, I know, Grandma."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy." The old lady didn't say anything more. Because of Zheng Yuanxi's matter, the relationship between the grandmother and granddaughter was not as good as before.
At least, the old lady wasn't entirely satisfied with He Yi!
He Yi said goodbye to the old lady and left.
He found a reliable testing agency, which was run by an old classmate of his, and personally delivered the sample there, instructing the agency to handle the testing himself.
"Is one of the samples yours?" his old classmate asked him.
He Yi didn't hide anything, "Yes."
My old classmate looked curious and surprised, but he wasn't gossipy. He said, "Okay, I'll arrange and follow up on everything. I'll give you an answer by 8 a.m. tomorrow at the latest."
"Trouble!"
Gu Zhiyao was busy until 6 p.m., and then went straight back to the old lady's place.
The table was already laden with delicious dishes, many of which were Niu Niu's favorites, and two of which were Gu Zhiyao's favorites.
“I asked Niu Niu and her mother what they liked to eat, and then I had the nanny make it all. Don’t feel embarrassed. It’s a rare opportunity for you to have a meal with me. Who knows when the next meal will be? So please eat as much as you like, don’t be shy,” the old lady said first.
Gu Zhiyao choked up and said, "Okay, thank you, Grandma He. These dishes look delicious. I sometimes cook, but my cooking skills are still not very good. They can't compare to what Sister Xian makes."
"That was the old lady giving me instructions. It was my first time making it this way, but luckily it tasted alright," said the nanny, Sister Xian, cheerfully as she filled a bowl with soup and handed it to Gu Zhiyao.
Gu Zhiyao thanked her, her grateful gaze turning to the old lady once more.
Although she knew the old lady wouldn't have a hard time, just offering guidance from behind was enough to move people. After all, for the old lady, being able to enter the kitchen was such a great honor!
All Gu Zhiyao did was finish all the food to express her deepest respect.
For the old lady, this meal was indeed the most enjoyable. In the past, although He Yi would bring Chenchen back to eat with her, as well as He hope and Yi Fei, there was also Zheng Yuanxi!
Tonight, Yifei, Zhiyao, Chenchen, and Niuniu are all people she likes. She looks back and forth at everyone, and when her gaze stops on Gu Zhiyao, she can't help but think, how wonderful it would be if there were an extra seat next to Gu Zhiyao, with Ayi sitting there!
But then, the old lady gave a helpless, bitter smile.
That can probably only remain a dream!
However, the old lady's sadness didn't last long. Chenchen and Niu Niu kept the atmosphere lively, especially Niu Niu, who was completely at ease and treated the place as her own home.
Gu Zhiyao wanted the children to stay with the old lady a little longer, so they stayed until after 9 o'clock before leaving.
Yifei escorted them back.
Gu Zhiyao politely invited Yifei inside for a cup of tea. Niu Niu and Chenchen went to take a shower. Yifei stared intently at Gu Zhiyao and suddenly announced his decision.
When Gu Zhiyao heard Yifei say that he had also booked a flight for the day after tomorrow, and that it was the same flight as theirs, she was immediately stunned.
"I'm sorry, but don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. And, as long as you don't want me to, I won't go to see Niu Niu as often as before. I just... I thought about it for several days before making this decision." Yi Fei quickly explained and declared, "Confessing to you back then was an impulsive act. Have you forgotten about it? Anyway, I know you and Brother Xiao are a loving couple, and now that Chenchen is back by your side, your life will be even happier in the future. I won't ruin that happiness."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyao immediately broke down in tears.
Through her blurry vision, she looked at Yifei's flustered yet sincere expression, and at his pain that he was trying so hard to hide. She felt a pang of heartache and quickly shook her head, saying, "Yifei, you don't need to apologize to me. These are all your personal actions, and we have no right to interfere. You have your studies to complete, and that's only right for you. So, you don't need to apologize to me."
"But……"
"Yes, I understand what you're saying. I also know that you might not be able to let go of this relationship yet, but it's not your fault, Yifei. You're a very good person, and it's my blessing to be liked by someone as wonderful as you. But like I told you before, I don't have those feelings for you. I just see you as a very good friend, or even a younger brother. So, you might as well try to let me go. Someone as wonderful as you will definitely meet the right partner in your life, Yifei."
"Okay, thank you, Zhiyao. I know all that. I'll try not to cause you any trouble. I've witnessed everything Brother Xiao has done for you. I know his love for you is no less than mine. I'm completely convinced. I just... feel a little regretful. I think if I had confessed to you right away back then, the outcome might have been different. Of course, I only feel regret, not resentment. Loving someone doesn't necessarily mean possessing them. It's enough to silently watch them be happy and safe."
Gu Zhiyao was completely overwhelmed with tears, unable to speak. Her eyes, as she looked at Yifei, remained filled with tenderness and gratitude.
