He walked up to Jian Yixue, his surprise only increasing.

"Jane Yixue".

However, this was only a facade of composure; in reality, she was both excited and apprehensive, and her palms were slightly sweaty.

She silently observed the man before her.

It is indeed an extremely beautiful existence.

It's exactly the same as the photos from the previous investigation.

Keep in mind that the photo is from fifteen years ago. Over the years, the man's demeanor has become more composed, but his appearance has remained unchanged.

Upon hearing Jian Yixue's words, a flicker of pain crossed the man's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

Lan'er's child is his.

He would do anything as long as Lan'er could wake up.

Although it was fleeting, Jian Yixue and Ye Mohan were no ordinary people, and naturally they did not miss that glance.

Afterward, the man regained some composure, and his face became more approachable.

"Who is Dongfang Tinglan to you?"

Jian Yixue glanced at Ye Mohan, and seeing Ye Mohan nod, she then spoke, "It's my mother."

Although Gong Beize had some guesses about the answer, the shock of hearing it with his own ears far outweighed any guesses.

Gong Beize nodded. "Why didn't your father come?"

Jian Yixue was about to ask Dongfang Tinglan how she was doing and if she was here, but she was stunned when she heard Gong Beize's words.

What's the meaning?

Did he not know that she was not Jian Mingpeng's biological daughter?

Could it be that he wasn't the one who abandoned his mother back then?

He was not her biological father either.

Could it be that he also doesn't know who did everything that happened to his mother?

In an instant, countless questions flashed through Jian Yixue's mind.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan spoke up for her, saying, "Jian Mingpeng is not Xue'er's father."

Upon hearing this, Gong Beize's brows furrowed instantly.

"He's not your biological father?"

Jian Yixue had already come to her senses while Ye Mohan was speaking. When Gong Beize asked her a question, she nodded.

“I did a paternity test with him, and he is not my father.”

Gong Beize wanted to ask something, but Jian Yixue spoke first.

"Mr. Gong, we've come here today to ask if my mother, Dongfang Tinglan, is with you?"

Jian Yixue looked at Gong Beize with anticipation.

Gong Beize nodded. "Mm."

"Really?" Jian Yixue looked at Gong Beize with a happy expression. "Mr. Gong, may I go see my mother?"

Gong Beize nodded, recalling Dongfang Tinglan's reaction when she heard about her daughter.

"Okay, come with me."

Jane nodded excitedly.

As Gong Beize passed by Ye Mohan, he looked up at Ye Mohan and said with a deep gaze, "You're the Ye family's brat?"

"Exactly."

Gong Beize looked at it for a long time, then looked at Jian Yixue and said, "Lan'er has arranged a good marriage for you."

Jian Yixue felt a little guilty.

Could she say that it was because of her rebirth that she came to know how good Ye Mohan was, and that she came to understand her mother's good intentions?

Obviously not.

Ye Mohan, who was standing to the side, understood after hearing this.

Why is it that someone who has been out of contact for so many years can be found so easily by his people?

It's likely that it wasn't them who found Gong Beize, but rather Gong Beize who found them.

The group arrived at the medical research institute where Ye Mohan had been injured and stayed.

Unlike last time, neither of them was blindfolded this time.

They could see everything clearly in the laboratory.

A hint of surprise appeared in Jian Yixue's eyes.

The equipment and machinery here are far more advanced than those in Zhou Yuxuan's research institute.

Ye Mohan saw this and naturally figured it out as well.

A vague sense of unease crept into my mind.

Before long, the two stopped at the door of a ward, led by Gong Beize.

Gong Beize turned to the two of them and said heavily, "You need to be mentally prepared."

"Fifteen years ago, I happened to return to China to visit Lan'er, only to learn that she had been in a car accident and had fallen off an overpass."

When I arrived, she had already fallen in. My men eventually found her in the Dijiang River at the scene of the accident. She hadn't opened her eyes since then, and only recently has she started responding to sounds from the outside world.

Then she looked at Jian Yixue and said, "Especially you, even though she's unconscious, she still cares about you."

Jian Yixue was shocked, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She never imagined that this was the reason her mother hadn't come to see her for fifteen years.

She has suffered so much over the past fifteen years.

But she, as the daughter, knew nothing about it.

Then, remembering that Gong Beize had been taking care of her mother for the past fifteen years, Jian Yixue bowed solemnly to Gong Beize and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gong."

Gong Beize waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "No need to be polite, I did all of this willingly."

He failed to protect Lan'er, causing her so much suffering. He deserves to die!

Gong Beize's face was filled with deep sorrow.

If he could, he would give his own life to save Lan'er's.

"Let's go in." Gong Beize entered his fingerprint and then went inside.

Jian Yixue and her companion followed closely behind.

The thought of seeing her mother, whom she hadn't seen for fifteen years, made Jian Yixue feel uneasy and she couldn't help but want to run away.

When Ye Mohan saw her slowed pace, he immediately understood. He reached out and took Jian Yixue's hand, his voice sounding comforting in her ear.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Jian Yixue looked up at him gratefully, nodded, and put aside her chaotic thoughts to go inside with him.

Upon entering the room, Jian Yixue immediately saw Dongfang Tinglan on the hospital bed, her face pale, her skin unnaturally white, and her eyes tightly closed. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry silently.

Her mother was exactly the same as she remembered.

Ye Mohan felt extremely distressed when he saw Jian Yixue sobbing uncontrollably.

He pulled Jian Yixue into his arms and gently patted her back, giving her strength without her even realizing it.

Gong Beize sat down on the edge of the bed as usual, took Dongfang Tinglan's hand, and stared intently at her face.

"Lan'er, look who's here!"

"I forgot you were still sleeping. I brought your daughter with me. She's right here. Would you like her to talk to you?"

Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Tinglan's eyebrows twitched, and her hand moved along with them.

Jian Yixue and the other person behind them naturally saw it as well.

Seeing this, Gong Beize squeezed Dongfang Tinglan's hand and said with delight, "Okay, I heard you. I'll let her talk to you."

He then looked at Jian Yixue and said, "Xiaoxue, come here."

Jian Yixue nodded, let go of Ye Mohan, walked to the bedside, grasped Dongfang Tinglan's other hand, and then knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down her face, "Mom, it's me, Yixue, do you still remember me?"

Dongfang Tinglan's eyebrows and eyes moved more and more frequently, and Jian Yixue could feel the strength of her grip increasing.
