Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Workaholic Dad 10
Through Zhuozhuo's childish words, Qin Jin gradually pieced together her previous life.
She comes from a middle-class family with loving parents and a harmonious family. However, Zhuozhuo is frail and sickly and is often hospitalized. However, the doctors and nurses in the hospital like her very much and she is very happy.
Qin Jin's heart felt so sore and about to melt. He hadn't seen any signs of suffering or illness on Zhuozhuo in the past few days. She was just like her name, like a little sun emitting hot and bright light that could melt the ice and bring laughter to the people around her.
How could there be such a lovely and wonderful child in this world? And it was his child. It must be the blessing of his good deeds.
Qin Jin held Zhuo Zhuo in his arms and asked gently, "Then how did Zhuo Zhuo end up with Wu Jingqiu?"
Worried that Zhuozhuo would be sad and cry, Qin Jin didn't ask her how she left A Song's father and Yan Yan's mother, nor did he ask what happened to them. In the short time he spent raising children, Qin Jin had already summed up some child-rearing skills. One of them was asking the same question from a different angle, and the child's attention would be diverted.
For example, Zhuozhuo ran too fast and bumped into a wall, tears welling up in her eyes as she was about to burst into tears. If someone asked her what happened or how she bumped into the wall, she would immediately burst into tears. But if you asked Zhuozhuo how the wall hit her, she would recount the incident in a grievance, forgetting the reason for crying.
Hearing this, 9972, who was already lying in wait for death, shuddered again and, before Zhuozhuo could say anything, warned, "Zhuozhuo, don't tell anyone about Mom and Dad's situation, or that you're dead. This is a secret. If anyone tells, our agreement will be void."
Zhuozhuo had already equated the agreement with his parents. Upon hearing this, tears immediately welled up in his eyes. He asked 9972 fearfully, "Then what should I say?"
9972 was so distressed, [Baby, don't cry, just say you don't know.]
Zhuozhuo sniffed and was about to speak, but when she saw Qin Jin's concerned and loving expression, she was immediately speechless and buried her face in Qin Jin's arms and cried silently. Qin Jin was so good to her, she didn't want to lie to him.
Seeing Zhuozhuo still crying, Qin Jin thought his little diversionary tactic had failed. Zhuozhuo was still thinking about her separation from her parents. Qin Jin regretted it deeply. He shouldn't have asked. If he wanted to know, couldn't he have investigated it himself? Why did he have to poke at Zhuozhuo's heartache? Damn it.
9972 thought they had been exposed, and would soon be forced to flee by Qin Jin, just like they had hundreds of times before. But after "interrogating" Zhuo Zhuo, Qin Jin's attitude towards her didn't change at all. If anything, it was that he became even more loving and protective.
After Qin Jin coaxed Zhuo Zhuo to sleep, 9972 witnessed Qin Jin ordering someone to investigate Wu Jingqiu's life. He believed that the information Zhao Xian had previously gathered was fabricated. Because that information completely contradicted Zhuo Zhuo's words, and Zhuo Zhuo wouldn't lie, there must be something wrong with the investigation.
9972 watched Qin Jin examine every possible angle regarding Wu Jingqiu, only to find he didn't doubt the paternity test results between him and Zhuozhuo. It then fell silent. Fortunately, his subordinate was very reliable and, despite the risk of being reprimanded, warned Qin Jin that Zhuozhuo's identity might be questionable.
Qin Jin didn't get angry. He said slowly and firmly, "Although Zhuozhuo doesn't look like me, I can feel that she is my child."
9972: [……]
How dare you say such idealistic words, you blind daughter slave!
Fortunately, Qin Jin was just a daughter slave, not a mentally ill person. He also knew that Zhuozhuo's identity was questionable, so he arranged another paternity test. Not only to test Zhuozhuo's and his, but also to test Zhuozhuo and Wu Jingqiu's. Fortunately, Wu Jingqiu hadn't been cremated yet.
Qin Jin did a paternity test not because he cared about the blood relationship, but because he needed to find out Zhuozhuo's identity to avoid any accidents in the future.
A paternity test requires a sample. A bloodstain is the first choice, but Qin Jin couldn't bear to take blood from Zhuozhuo. Hair with follicles would also work, but plucking hair is painful for those sensitive to pain. Qin Jin opted for an oral swab, carefully performing the procedure while Zhuozhuo slept.
After Qin Jin, relieved, handed the sample to his subordinate, 9972 also breathed a sigh of relief, realizing, as if it had escaped death, that Qin Jin hadn't doubted Zhuozhuo's existence was unreasonable. This made it easy. Qin Jin could investigate as he pleased. If he could find anything, it would lose!
Three days later, the subordinates' investigation results were delivered. Except for more details, they were no different from Zhao Xian's investigation.
Qin Jin fell into deep thought. After listening to Zhuozhuo's words, he had two main suspicions.
The first possibility is that Zhuozhuo is the child of Asong's father and Yanyan's mother. Wu Jingqiu chose him and took him away through coercion and inducement. This method may harm Zhuozhuo's parents, or it may heal Zhuozhuo's body.
The second possibility is that Zhuozhuo is Wu Jingqiu's child. For some reason, he was raised by Asong and Yanyan, and Wu Jingqiu took Zhuozhuo back when he needed him.
In either case, Wu Jingqiu must have had someone very capable helping her fabricate the information, which is why Zhao Xian's investigation went awry. Regardless of how powerful or influential this unknown person was, anything they did would leave traces, and a diligent investigation would undoubtedly reveal clues.
But now, no more information about Wu Jingqiu has been found out, and the paternity test gave Qin Jin a surprise - Zhuozhuo has no blood relationship with Wu Jingqiu, but has a father-daughter relationship with Qin Jin.
This is outrageous.
Could it be that the person who stole the sperm back then was not Wu Jingqiu, but someone else?
So, Qin Jin ordered people to start checking from the hospital where he was admitted after the car accident, and check all the people who might have come into contact with him while he was in a coma.
A month passed, the investigation concluded, and Qin Jin, looking at the results, fell into deep thought again. With everyone cleared of suspicion, where did Zhuozhuo come from? If it weren't for his flawless memory and the lack of medical expertise, Qin Jin would have suspected Zhuozhuo was his own offspring.
At this moment, Zhuozhuo ran to the study with the painting he had finished, "Look, Dad, I drew a sunflower!"
Qin Jin was a little slow to react. He instinctively hugged Zhuo Zhuo and patted her before realizing he was looking at her abstract line drawing. He praised her, "Is that a sunflower, Zhuo Zhuo? It really looks like one. You even drew a sunflower with seeds. How are you so good?"
Zhuozhuo pouted, "Dad, I already told you that I was drawing a sunflower, you didn't hear me." She looked up at Qin Jin and said like a little adult, "Dad, you seemed so worried just now. What were you worried about? Tell me, Zhuozhuo will help you!"
9972, having guessed Qin Jin's troubles from the documents on the table, almost laughed out loud. It could be said that Qin Jin's distress was caused by Zhuo Zhuo. And at this moment, Qin Jin was probably wondering why Wu Jingqiu died so early. If she were still alive, he would have a thousand ways to pry her open.
9972 lamented that the temporary character died quickly. On the one hand, this character did not exist in the original book and was created additionally. On the other hand, there were many ruthless outlaws among the mission targets, and in order to avoid revealing more flaws, the temporary character had to be offline early.
Qin Jin's irritable mood was soothed somewhat by Zhuo Zhuo. He first apologized to Zhuo Zhuo earnestly, and then said half-truthfully, "Dad's troubles are related to Zhuo Zhuo."
Zhuozhuo was surprised, worried, and self-blaming. "Did Zhuozhuo make Daddy unhappy?"
"Yes." Qin Jin nodded heavily and said seriously, "Because Zhuozhuo doesn't like Daddy recently. At the company, Zhuozhuo is either drawing or playing with other uncles and aunts. At home, he prefers to play with Wangwang Wuwu. Daddy can only be alone with Zhuozhuo when he eats and sleeps."
Qin Jin pretended to wipe the corner of his eyes and said, "Dad is jealous, Zhuozhuo, please comfort him."
Zhuozhuo was anxious. "Daddy, don't cry. Zhuozhuo likes you, the most. Daddy, give me a kiss!" She hugged Qin Jin's neck and kissed him on the face several times. Then she held Qin Jin's hand and pulled it away. After confirming that there were no tears in his eyes, Zhuozhuo felt relieved and said in a baby voice, "It's because Zhuozhuo doesn't want to disturb Daddy from work."
Zhuozhuo was smart and didn't get carried away by Qin Jin's words. After comforting him, he began to reason with him, "Dad has a lot of work to do every day. If Dad plays with Zhuozhuo while working, the working hours will become very, very long. That way, Dad won't have time to eat or sleep!"
Zhuozhuo patted Qin Jin's hair calmly and said, "So, Dad, don't be unreasonable. Each of us must complete our work before we can play."
As soon as you hear it, you can tell that it was an employee from the president's office who heard and remembered what he said. His little face is so adorable.
Qin Jin suppressed his laughter and deliberately asked, "What is Zhuo Zhuo's job?"
Unexpectedly, Zhuozhuo wasn't stumped by the question, but answered fluently, "Zhuozhuo's current mission is to eat well, grow taller, and gain weight, so that I can go to kindergarten in autumn." She raised her hands one after another, made a gesture, and said with a childish "ha", "Zhuozhuo will be invincible in the kindergarten!"
The movements and speech were very skillful and smooth, and you could tell at a glance that Zhuozhuo had performed this many times.
Qin Jin thought it was adorable, but also felt that the people in the CEO's office were too idle, teaching Zhuo Zhuo all sorts of random things all day long. Then he suddenly realized that Zhuo Zhuo was old enough to go to school.
How could it be so fast? How long had Zhuozhuo been with him? And since Zhuozhuo was going to school, wouldn't they only be able to see each other when they ate and slept?
This won't work.
Qin Jin couldn't help but feel anxious. There were so many kids in the kindergarten, a mixed bag. What if Zhuozhuo, such a well-behaved child, got bullied by some other little bastard? Besides, Zhuozhuo wasn't one to back down, and Qin Jin didn't want to ask her to show weakness. But could Zhuozhuo, with her tiny body, really hold her own against anyone?
Kindergarten teachers have so many children to look after that they can't necessarily pay attention to every one of them, and Zhuozhuo is so well-behaved, sensible, and understanding. In a group, the more well-behaved and easy-to-care-for children are, the more likely they are to be ignored.
Will the food at the kindergarten suit Xiaoxiao's appetite? Xiaoxiao sometimes plays too much and needs to be fed. Will the teachers feed her? Oh, and the kindergarten also has a set nap time, but Xiaoxiao's nap time is not fixed, so she definitely won't be able to adapt.
