Chapter 50 Another Paternity Test

Although Wen Niannian's voice was low, countless pairs of eyes had been fixed on her small figure since the will was announced. Her current net worth was even higher than that of many people in the Xie family!

A fair little face was exposed to the air, its round eyes red, its curled eyelashes wet and sticky with tears. The lower half of the face, covered by the mask, had fair skin, a straight nose, and crystal clear snot smeared on its cheeks. Although it looked disheveled, it was still very beautiful.

That's not the point.

But this young face looks very much like the two leaders standing in the main seat in the hall.

Xie Peifeng and Xie Peizhou.

Xie Peizhou and Xie Peifeng are brothers from the same father and mother. Xie Peifeng is twenty years older than Xie Peizhou. Wen Niannian's childish face, perhaps because of her age, looks five percent like Xie Peifeng and seven percent like Xie Peizhou.

There were gasps coming from the hall.

Seeing this face, it is not difficult to explain why Mr. Xie left 25% of his inheritance to her.

Wen Ci heard her daughter's small voice, looked down and saw her daughter's uncomfortable little face as she pulled off the mask, her pupils dilated and her eyelashes trembling.

My hands and feet are cold and unresponsive.

She took a deep breath, hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag, and helped her daughter blow her nose.

He buried his daughter's face in his arms, trying to cover up his mistake.

Obviously, it's too late.

In the crowd, someone foolishly jumped out and said, "Uncle, this isn't your illegitimate daughter, is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Xie, who was sitting next to Xie Peifeng, looked unhappy and twisted her husband's arm hard.

Xie Peifeng felt pain, but he didn't dare to yell at his wife. He glared at the younger generation who had spoken, "Nonsense! How old am I?! In the past few years, I have been expanding the business in New Zealand with your aunt. I haven't been back for several years, and I haven't seen Wen Ci very often!"

The nephew who was bullied touched his head awkwardly and looked at the young and cold Xie Peizhou next to Xie Peifeng, "Could it be my uncle's daughter? This girl is 50% similar to my uncle, and 70% to 80% similar to my uncle. During the years that Wen Ci has been in the Xie family, my uncle has been very attentive to her and treated her very well..."

Wen Ci felt a chill down her spine. Everyone in the Xie family, young and old, knew that Xie Peizhou was good to her.

She was also particularly dependent on Xie Peizhou at that time.

Especially on the rainy night when she first arrived, due to the catastrophic psychological trauma, she even had to have Xie Peizhou sit by her bed before she could fall asleep peacefully.

Many people in the Xie family knew about this. At that time, they all said that Xie Peizhou was grateful and loyal...

Some whispers sounded in Wen Ci's ears.

"This is really messed up..."

"That's not the case. Uncle Peizhou and Wen Ci are not related by blood."

"Even though we're not related by blood, Wen Ci has been in the Xie family for so many years, and she calls me uncle just like us. This girl must be almost four or five years old, right? How old was Wen Ci back then?"

"Oh my god... I always thought Uncle Peizhou was a gentleman, but I didn't expect him to be a hypocrite in private. He actually attacked Wen Ci. All men are really the same. It's disgusting."

"If the media gets to know about this, what will happen to our Xie family's century-old reputation? Is the person in charge of the Xie family a freak or a fetishist? The rivals will definitely not miss this opportunity to bring down the Xie family."

…

Wen Ci's whole body stiffened, and a chill rose from the soles of her feet.

At this moment, she felt the same way as Xie Peizhou felt when he was madly entangled by her.

Back then, she felt that true love could conquer everything, and that "love can conquer mountains and seas, and all mountains and seas can be leveled." She felt that they were only uncle and nephew in name only, and he was just her best friend's uncle, so why couldn't they fall in love?

Now I finally understand what it means to have my whole life ruined.

Wen Ci's heart ached and she felt as if she had sunk to the bottom of the sea, suffocating and with a blocked throat.

Now that I think about it, Xie Peizhou is really a kind and extremely gentle man.

If she were Xie Peizhou back then, she would have wanted to tear this madman who "dragged himself into hell" into pieces.

Xie Peizhou didn't do that. Instead, he patiently and calmly reasoned with her again and again, telling her that this relationship was abnormal. Wen Ci, you are sick.

Before sending her abroad, he gently fulfilled her last wish.

…

Wen Ci took a deep breath.

She looked up at Xie Peizhou stiffly, and apologized to him guiltily in her heart for the "crazy" self she was five years ago.

Xie Peizhou, I'm sorry.

But to this day, she still loves him.

But now I understand that love is not about possession, but about making the other person happy, safe and secure.

Wen Ci's eyes gradually calmed down. She glanced at everyone in the Xie family and said coldly and politely, "My dear elders, please stop making random guesses. What Brother Lingyun said just now is correct. Nian Nian has nothing to do with the Xie family."

Wen Ci looked at Xie Peifeng and explained, "When Grandpa Xie took me to stay at the Xie family, my uncle and aunt were busy with business overseas. I haven't seen my uncle for several years. In my heart, my uncle is a man with a strong sense of career and loves his wife. I admire him very much."

After Wen Ci finished speaking, she looked at Xie Peizhou who was next to Xie Peifeng.

Their eyes met.

Wen Ci felt a sharp pain in her chest. She took a breath, her tone more respectful and frank. "Yes, my uncle has always taken good care of me over the years. I used to follow him around like a little dog, but there is nothing between us. He is the most upright person I have ever met. He has always been very careful about the proper manners when taking care of me. There has always been a family relationship between us."

Xie Peizhou looked at her grateful and respectful little face, his brows slightly furrowed.

My chest felt like a piece had been dug out, leaving it empty and suffocating.

She only had gratitude and affection for him...

"Sister Wen Ci, that's what you say, but if there really is no connection, how could your daughter look so much like Uncle Peizhou?"

A scattered laugh interrupted Wen Ci.

Wen Ci heard the voice and looked over, seeing Xie Hongwei's sneering face.

A memory flashed through my mind.

One summer vacation, Xie Hongwei suddenly broke into her room and said, "Sister Wen Ci, come with me. We are not related by blood anyway. If you follow me, you can stay in the Xie family forever."

She was thrown onto the bed by Xie Hongwei at that time, and saw his ferocious yet excited face.

Even after several years, Wen Ci's face still turned pale for a moment.

Xie Yiyi suddenly stood in front of her and looked at Xie Hongwei coldly, "What's wrong with looking alike? Didn't you all say that my uncle and I look a lot like each other? Could it be that if I'm not my father's child, I'm also my uncle's child?"

“Nonsense!”

Xie Peifeng sat in the first seat with a gloomy face.

Xie Yiyi didn't look at his father, but raised his chin coldly and arrogantly towards Xie Hongwei.

If she hadn't gone to find Wen Ci at noon, Wen Ci would have been bullied by this damn playboy. Later, she told her grandfather about it, and her grandfather punished him severely.

From then on, Xie Hongwei targeted Wen Ci everywhere.

"What's wrong with looking alike? A few days ago, I saw a beggar holding a little boy who looked 90% like you. Oops, I forgot to take a picture, otherwise I would show you. Maybe he's your biological son who was left behind."

Xie Hongwei's face darkened. He was about to get married. He raised his hand and argued, "Nonsense, I'm not messing around. Stop talking nonsense!"

Xie Yiyi smiled, "I didn't say it would definitely be yours. I just said it in case. After all, the world is so big, and genes combine randomly. Maybe there's someone in the world who looks just like you and is not related by blood. This is fate."

"Maybe Grandpa saw Nianbao's face and thought she looked similar to his uncle and his most beloved granddaughter, and she was also Wen Ci's daughter, so he left the inheritance to Nianbao."

"Isn't that unreasonable? During the three months that Grandpa was seriously ill, Wen Ci and Nian Bao went to the hospital to accompany Grandpa almost every moment they had time. Let me ask you, all of you busy people with jobs who are as close to Grandpa as you are to him, who spent more time with him before his death than Wen Ci and Nian Bao?"

Xie Hongwei's face turned pale and he was speechless.

Xie Yiyi held Wen Ci's hand and said, "The will has been read. Uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, and younger brothers and sisters, we are leaving now."

"Wait a moment."

Another majestic voice.

Xie Yiyi and Wen Ci looked at each other, then turned around and saw that it was Xie Hongwei's father, Xie Ling.

He is Grandpa Xie's nephew, nearly fifty years old, with a square face, and is currently the vice president of the Xie Group headquarters in China.

Xie Ling smiled kindly, "What Yi Yi said makes sense. The world is so big, and it's not uncommon for people to look alike. But the old man left such a large inheritance to the little girl, and the little girl looks so much like Pei Zhou. There are more than just our family members in the hall today. If there are too many people and bad gossip, it will be detrimental to the reputation of our Xie family and the image of the group."

"How about this, Peizhou, you and the little girl do a paternity test to prove your innocence with Xiaoci."
