Chapter 89 Belated family affection? Or a bloody joke of fate?
People in the circle are very smart, and everyone can see that Deng Yaochen has touched that gentleman's sore spot.
Even though the ban has been lifted on the surface, the barriers in secret have not been broken.
The few resources I have are no longer available.
The partners' attitude became ambiguous.
Deng Yaochen's team was helpless and worried, and finally decided to let him return to Country H to avoid the limelight.
On the day of leaving Jiangcheng, Deng Yaochen waited for a long time downstairs of the apartment building.
Gu Manman did not go downstairs.
If you can't give a response, it's better to ruthlessly cut off his thoughts. It will be good for everyone.
Time flows slowly.
Until a woman named Qin Wan came to the door with a DNA test report, saying that Gu Manman was her sister's child.
Qin Wan was very excited: "I met you once at Chen Liren's wedding. You and my sister really look so much alike. I'm sorry that I took your cup and did a DNA test without your consent. Fortunately, you are really our Qin family's child."
Gu Manman looked at her excited expression and her gaze returned to the report in her hand.
To her, this belated proof of bloodline was more like a document that needed to be archived rather than a key to a new life.
She once had a desire for kinship and family, but it had long since dissipated in the long loneliness and the trials of the world.
Now suddenly someone told her that she was not alone and she had a family.
This feeling is... a little subtle, but not as exciting and joyful as I had imagined.
Qin Wan looked at the calm face of the girl opposite her, feeling a little anxious, fearing that she would not believe him, and quickly explained: "I am not a liar, my family... is in the jewelry business, Qin's Jewelry, you should have heard of it, right?"
Qin’s Jewelry is well-known in the country.
Gu Manman nodded, indicating that she knew the brand.
She gently placed the DNA report on the coffee table: "I...may need some time."
Seeing her distant attitude, Qin Wan felt depressed and spoke more anxiously, "My mother, your grandmother, she...she has been in poor health recently."
"The old man has been ill for many years, and he has always said that he wants to find your mother before he passes away... Unfortunately, there has been no news for so many years."
"Now that I've found you," Qin Wan's eyes fell earnestly on Gu Manman's face, "I've finally fulfilled her wish. Can you...can you go back with me? Just...go and see her?"

Su Yu was still in shock for a long time: "No way, sister, I'm familiar with this plot! A grudge between wealthy families? A real and fake daughter? A princess who has fallen into poverty?"
She became more and more excited as she spoke. She moved to Gu Manman and poked her with her elbow: "So your mother is a runaway Disney princess? She gave up her wealth and glory for love, but died young, leaving you, her only blood, to suffer outside?"
Gu Manman was amused by her and felt a little helpless. She reached out and rubbed her forehead.
"Your imagination is bigger than that of the screenwriter."
Seeing that she had no reaction, Su Yu curled her lips and said, "What? You don't believe it? The DNA report is already in my face, how can it be fake? Besides, Qin's Jewelry! The overwhelming wealth has fallen on your head, sister! Walk sideways when you go out in the future!"
Gu Manman put the report down, leaned back into the soft sofa cushions, and looked at the ceiling: "I always feel that things are not that simple."
"Why isn't it simple?" Su Yu was puzzled.
"From a big and powerful family," Gu Manman turned her head and looked at Su Yu, her eyes calm but full of insight, "A relative who I haven't seen for more than 20 years suddenly showed up..."
"One more person means one more inheritance, right?"
Su Yu was speechless.
What Gu Manman said makes sense.
The twists and turns in wealthy families are much more complicated than what is shown in TV dramas.

Go there according to the ward number sent by Qin Wan.
Gu Manman knocked on the door of the ward.
The door was quickly opened and Qin Wan stood at the door. When he saw that it was her, his eyes lit up instantly with obvious eagerness.
"You're here." She held Gu Manman's hand, "Come in."
There was an old man lying on the hospital bed. He was very thin, with his eyes closed and his breathing shallowly, as if he was asleep.
Qin Wan walked to the bed, leaned over, and whispered, "Mom, wake up and see who's here."
The old man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were a little cloudy, and he slowly scanned the room.
When her eyes fell on Gu Manman, her originally dim eyes suddenly burst into light.
The skinny hand raised up tremblingly and pointed at Gu Manman.
"Fang Fang... is it Fang Fang?"
She struggled to get up, but her body refused to obey.
Qin Wan quickly supported her, "Mom, slow down, don't get excited."
Gu Manman stood there, looking at the old man.
The old man's face was full of traces of time, but Gu Manman could still clearly see that his eyebrows and nose were so similar to hers.
Especially when the old man called out that name - Fangfang.
A feeling of bitterness and indescribable sorrow slowly spread in my chest.
She thought she no longer needed family affection, but when blood ties were presented in such an intuitive way and when she saw a face that looked so similar to her own, she discovered that the power of blood ties was so wonderful.
Seeing the old lady was very emotional, Qin Wan quickly explained to her: "Mom, this is not my sister, this is Manman, my sister's daughter."
She turned to Gu Manman again, her tone much gentler: "This is your grandmother."
The old woman didn't seem to listen, or rather, she was only willing to believe what she saw.
She just stared at Gu Manman stubbornly, repeating over and over again: "Fangfang... Fangfang is back..."
Gu Manman slowly walked to the bedside and looked at the old man: "My name is Manman."
The old man's gaze was fixed on her face, and the light in his eyes dimmed little by little, replaced by loss and confusion.
"Manman..." She murmured to herself, as if she had returned to reality, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.
Qin Wan held the old woman's hand, patted it gently, and soothed her emotions.
After the old man fell asleep, the two of them walked out of the ward, one in front and one behind.
"Did I scare you just now? My mom...is like this when she gets excited."
Gu Manman shook her head, her eyes fell on the clean tips of her shoes, and said nothing.
Qin Wan sighed: "My sister, Qin Fang, is your mother. She... was very opinionated when she was young."
"At that time, her family hoped that she would take over the business and find a suitable match. But she fell in love with a painter."
"I'm not famous, and my family isn't well off."
"My mother was furious at the time. She thought my sister was blinded by love and refused to allow them to be together." Qin Wan's voice became even lower, with a sadness that was difficult to conceal. "She said very harsh words and even... even threatened to cut off relations with my sister."
"You can probably guess what happened next." Qin Wan smiled bitterly, "My sister eloped with the painter. She didn't leave a single word. We have tried every way to find her over the years, but there is no news at all."
"My mother...actually she regretted it a long time ago. Over the years, her health has been getting worse and worse, and the thing she talks about the most is my sister. She always says that if she hadn't been so stubborn back then, if she had nodded, maybe... maybe my sister wouldn't have left."
Gu Manman listened quietly, and her heart seemed to be gently hit by something.
It turns out that the mother who existed only in her imagination had such a reckless love. So what happened afterwards? Why was she in the orphanage?
And the old man lying on the hospital bed has survived to this day with so many years of regret and longing.
What is this? Belated family affection? Or a bloody joke of fate?
She couldn't tell the difference for a moment.
