The nurse looked him up and down; he was dressed in a trendy style and looked arrogant and unapproachable.
Could he be someone's illegitimate child?
She'd seen this kind of thing many times at the hospital.
"Genetics department," the nurse said calmly. "Do you want an appointment with a specialist or a regular doctor? Please provide your ID number."
He Xiao nodded knowingly, then asked, "What do we need to do the appraisal?"
"If you really need it, you can ask at our hospital's service desk over there. Thank you for your understanding," the nurse said with a smile.
She realized that this handsome young man wasn't there to register.
He Xiao thought for two seconds, said thank you, and turned to leave.
He wanted to do a paternity test to prove that his mother and Lin Yue were related.
Unfortunately, his mother's things were long gone, so he thought he might as well make one for himself and Lin Yue, since having some blood relation would give him peace of mind.
I came here to ask because I happened to be at the hospital and it was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Of course, he wouldn't be foolish enough to do the test on the Jiang family's territory; if he were to do it, he would do it at the He family's private hospital.
When he arrived at Jiang Yanxin's VIP ward, the door was still tightly closed, just as it had been when he left.
He leaned closer to the door to try and hear what was going on inside, but the hospital was so well soundproofed that not a single sound could get through. He was a little discouraged.
He held up his phone, trying to send a message to Lin Yue to confirm that she was safe.
...
The conversation between Shen Linyue and Jiang Yanxin was quite harmonious; at least no unpleasant situations arose as a result.
Jiang Yanxin always spoke in a condescending manner, never treating Shen Linyue as an equal.
Shen Linyue looked at Jiang Yanxin now and found it hard to understand how power and money could corrupt a person like this.
She was completely different from the cheerful little girl she remembered.
"As far as I know, the Jiang family is already a very powerful force in Taipei. Do you want the Jiang family to rise even higher, so you chose He Liyu as a stepping stone?" The girl didn't beat around the bush like Jiang Yanxin; she bluntly exposed her meaning.
Jiang Yanxin's lips twitched as she looked at the 'straightforward' Lin Yue and said, "Did you come to me to tell me to stay away from He Liyu? You care about him a lot?"
She raised an eyebrow, a meaningful look in her eyes.
Shen Linyue always possesses a composure that is unusual for her age, and her emotions are only occasionally revealed and noticed by others.
She smiled slightly and met her gaze with composure: "President Jiang's brain isn't on my head, how could I possibly control your thoughts?"
“Compared to this matter, I’m actually more curious about something else.” Her words were somewhat ambiguous this time.
Jiang Yanxin frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably strange about her calm and composed demeanor, but she quickly suppressed it. She would never let a child lead her by the nose.
"I'm also curious why you want to see me. I remember our last meeting didn't seem to be pleasant." She smiled faintly, as if trying to see through her dark eyes to understand her thoughts.
Having met him several times already, she had become somewhat immune to his face. As long as she didn't look closely, the slight panic in her heart would disappear.
Shen Linyue knew very well that the last time she mentioned was the time when the mall sent people to forcibly invite her there.
A hint of confusion flashed across her eyes, followed by slight surprise: "Was it at a hotel or a shopping mall last time? But I wasn't unhappy at all. On the contrary, I was very happy that President Jiang was able to tell me things I didn't know."
Honesty is always the ultimate weapon.
Jiang Yanxin frowned even more, realizing that this child seemed to be a bit difficult to deal with.
The air was silent for two minutes.
Jiang Yanxin then became more serious: "Tell me, your purpose in coming here can't be as simple as just wanting to see me, can it?"
Shen Linyue felt her phone vibrate in her bag, took it out and glanced at it.
Upon discovering that it was He Xiao who was concerned about her, she smiled slightly and quickly replied with a "Everything goes well" emoji.
He then put his phone back in his bag and looked at Jiang Yanxin again.
"You and Mrs. He went to the same high school and university, and you've always had a good relationship. Do you think her death was an accident or murder?" Shen Linyue stared straight at Jiang Yanxin, her face devoid of any emotion.
Jiang Yanxin's heart skipped a beat when she uttered the first sentence, and her heart pounded even louder as she listened to the last sentence.
"...Of course it was an accident. A-Yue is very popular; no one would attack her for no reason." Jiang Yanxin forced a smile, looking at Lin Yue with some annoyance: "You don't suspect me of attacking her, do you? Is it because of our relationship that you suspect me?"
She suddenly laughed, a very unrestrained laugh: "I don't know whether to call you naive or stupid. You really are just a child. If I had done this, He Liyu would have been the first to not let me off the hook. I was investigated back then too, tsk."
As if recalling what happened back then, the smile on her face disappeared, and her brows furrowed.
Shen Linyue raised an eyebrow, not embarrassed or annoyed by the mockery, but instead a mysterious smile appeared on her lips: "So, eight years after your best friend passed away, you can start pursuing her husband without any reservations?"
“You’ve really changed a lot.” She gazed at her intently, as if looking through her at someone else.
In an instant, that uncontrollable heart palpitation surged up again, and Jiang Yanxin looked at her eyes with some uncertainty.
"What exactly are you trying to say?!" Jiang Yanxin was so angry that she didn't even care about her image anymore.
She had a very absurd idea in her mind, but she quickly dismissed it as soon as it surfaced, and her forehead began to throb again.
Shen Linyue pursed her lips, watching Jiang Yanxin suddenly clutch her head in pain. She frowned slightly and stood up: "Your head hurts again? Where's your medicine?"
Jiang Yan felt a throbbing pain in the veins on her forehead. Seeing the worry on her face, she gave a self-deprecating smile: "What's it to you? Hurry up and tell me your purpose, then get out. You're not welcome here."
Every time I see her, I have a vague feeling that I'm about to lose control.
Shen Linyue did not press the matter and said directly, "I heard that your husband's surname is Xie. When I first came, I thought it was Jiang Zhixing, who was born from the fertilized egg you bought. But I found out that it wasn't. So you also lost your husband. You and He Liyu are both quite pitiful."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "I also heard that your husband and Mrs. He passed away only a year apart? It's truly a case of heaven being jealous of talent, don't you think?"
Jiang Yanxin: "..."
If I hadn't suddenly had a headache, I really would have liked to kick her out.
"Yes, why did fate have to take their lives so coincidentally?" Jiang Yanxin smiled, her face pale with pain.
"If you're here to pity me, then please leave. You're not welcome here." In reality, she was practically clenching her other hand into her palm, but she was still managing to suppress her anger.
Shen Linyue gave her a deep look, said nothing more, and kindly gave her medicine and a water cup before leaving.
"goodbye."
