Qin Yulong answered the phone much faster than Wen Yan had expected.
Moreover, her voice was noticeably better this time than the night before.
As soon as the call connected, she didn't even exchange pleasantries and went straight to asking Wen Yan.
"So, have you seen the news online?"
"I saw it! And the news online is even more explosive than I imagined. Everyone's saying you're the daughter of a shipping magnate, is that true?"
Qin Yulong: "Actually, my father doesn't dare to be called a shipping magnate, but everyone seems to like to say it. So according to what's said online, it's not wrong."
It's true! "So, is the general manager of Global Shipping who commented on your post your dad? Is he feeling much better now? He's been supporting you online."
"..." Qin Yulong was silent for two seconds, "No, that's actually my older brother."
"Huh?! Your older brother?!" Wen Yan exclaimed in shock. "But I looked him up online, and he should be over 50 years old this year, right? I thought..."
"Yes. My older brother is indeed over 50 years old."
"...I must have been ignorant. Does that mean your father is over seventy years old? I'm sorry, was I being presumptuous?"
"It's okay. In fact, many people do misunderstand. Because there's a big age gap between me and my family, I was often mistaken for someone else when I was in school or at parent-teacher conferences. I'm used to it now. You probably didn't have this problem when you were a child, right?"
"Yes, I didn't at that time. But... actually, there's something else I wanted to tell you when I called you."
"I know you probably wanted to ask last night, right? I already talked to my dad about it this morning. When I accompanied him to the hospital a while ago, I took some of his hair to have a paternity test done."
"The results proved that I am indeed not my father's biological child. I also asked him, and strangely enough, when he saw the paternity test reports of me, your parents, and him, my father, like me, suddenly had a memory flash through his mind."
"It turns out that I really was pulled out of the water by them when I was a child, and I did have a bone marrow transplant. But my dad said he couldn't remember this until today, and he thought he might be getting senile."
“If a memory hadn’t suddenly popped into my head, I might have thought my dad was sick. But now, I can accept it.”
"Really?" Wen Yan focused on Qin Yulong's last sentence. "So you're not opposed to recognizing your biological parents, right? I was just about to tell you, I accidentally let it slip to my fourth brother today, and my second brother overheard about you. He happened to be talking to Mom on the phone. As soon as Mom heard that, she immediately rushed back from her studio. It's fine if she doesn't know yet, but once she finds out, she'll definitely be eager to see you! You'll be willing, right?"
“Wen Yan,” Qin Yulong paused for a moment, “I think your expectations might be too high. Even if I’m willing to meet with them, it doesn’t mean I’ll go back to your family. Maybe you think I’m reluctant to leave my current family, but what I value more is the bond between me and my family. This affection from being together day and night transcends blood ties. I don’t mean to reopen your wounds, but you should be able to understand this, right? I can see that you also have feelings for the Shen family, but in fact, you have no blood relation with them.”
Qin Yulong's words made a lot of sense, and even from the perspective of the Shen family, Wen Yan could not refute them.
She continued, "Besides, I can't leave right now; my dad needs me here."
Wen Yan understood this point, but there are always more solutions than problems.
"What if Mom and Dad want to come over? Is that okay?"
"Sure! Let's consider this an answer for each other. I think we need to have a face-to-face conversation. I can take the initiative to arrange it with them."
Hearing Qin Yulong say this, Wen Yan felt very regretful, as if she didn't want to reunite with her biological parents.
But in any case, it was her own will.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Yan returned to the restaurant.
Shen Jinghe asked Wen Yan, "So, what did she say? Now you can confess to me, right?"
Wen Yan sighed softly, "Why aren't you eating? Were you waiting for me? Well, now that I'm here, we can start eating."
"Unhappy?" Shen Jinghe glanced at Wen Yan's expression, then picked up an empty bowl. "Would you like to have some soup first, or eat some rice?"
"Have some soup." Soup is so delicious, there's nothing a bowl of soup can't solve. If one bowl isn't enough, then have another.
"Here you go." Shen Jinghe placed the bowl of soup in front of Wen Yan and continued to ask, "Is something not going well?"
Wen Yan shook her head: "I don't know either, I can't say for sure."
"Let's start from the beginning and explain slowly."
"But Mom will be back soon, I think we should wait until she gets back to talk about it together."
"It's okay, you can keep it short."
"But I don't want to say it twice. I might have to say it again when Dad comes back, and I'm not a broken record."
“Repeaters are outdated.” In front of Wen Yan, Shen Jinghe took out his phone and turned on the recorder.
"Come on, I promise you only need to say it once."
"…………" Wen Yan immediately gave Shen Jinghe a thumbs up, "Brother, it has to be you."
"There's nothing I can do. After all, I'm a few years older than you, so I know a bit more."
Shen Jingchuan: "…………Anyone can do that, even if it's just a little hair."
