Chapter 499 The End of Disobedience
Dad Du Shaohua was also there that day. The couple had seen through their daughter and felt that Du Yunxiang would never get married, let alone have children, as she was focusing on her career.
When Du Yunxiang said this, they were really shocked. They asked directly: "Have you found the candidate? Get rid of the father and keep the son?"
Du Yunxiang was stunned by their question, then laughed: "No, I just had this idea, and I told you first."
Yin Donglei thought: "If you haven't found the right one yet, you'd better not look for it. It's best not to have too much contact with the man in this matter. If there are troubles later, it will be very bad."
Du Shaohua asked her, "How can we give birth?" Then he thought of a possibility and said to Du Yunxiang, "Xiangxiang, we must not do anything illegal!"
Du Yunxiang was a little bit amused and helpless. She just had this idea temporarily. It was good enough that her parents didn't object. They even helped her consider how to implement it.
After much thought, there is only one way that is the safest, that is sperm bank. However, these domestic institutions are not open to unmarried women. If you want to use this method, you have to go abroad.
It’s not impossible abroad, mixed-race babies are also very cute, Du Yunxiang thought.
Yin Donglei was more concerned about this matter than Du Yunxiang himself. She used her connections to find out about a laboratory in Country M - Yin Donglei's good friend Sang Wanning. A relative of hers bought sperm from this laboratory, and the child was born healthy. He is now six years old and looks so cute.
Du Yunxiang was immediately attracted by the idea, so he took time out to go to Country M with Yin Donglei, first to the laboratory for consultation, and then to several more times. It just so happened that the laboratory was in the same state as the game company D&L where Du Yunkai worked at the time, and it was not too far away, so Du Yunkai also went there several times to help.
In view of some cases involving sperm banks reported online, such as companies failing to conduct strict screening and selection of donors, which resulted in parents discovering that their children inherited fatal diseases carried by donors after the birth of their children, Du Yunxiang and his family spared no expense and time to carefully select several options, and then checked all the information related to these donors, and only made the final choice after making sure that there was no problem. Du Yunxiang felt that this was also responsible for the child's life.
Thus, the cute little Cha Cha was born.
Du Yunxiang taught her child very well, and the family also gave Cha Cha enough love.
Du Yunxiang had already told Cha Cha how he came to be, but she used a fairy-tale tone, and her family also agreed with her.
She told Cha Cha, “One day, Mom wanted a baby very much, and then I saw you in my dream. Mom went through many trials and finally came to you. I said to you, ‘Would you like to be my baby? Mom will love you very much.’ Then you hugged Mom and said yes, and you followed Mom home.”
At that time, Cha Cha had just started kindergarten, so she asked Du Yunxiang: "So, I showed up because you missed me so much, right?"
"Yes," Du Yunxiang said, "You came because mom missed you so much."
Du Yunxiang decided to wait until Cha Cha was older and could understand many things before telling him the non-fairy tale version.
Chacha never asked who his father was, because it didn't matter who he was. He was the baby his mother "wanted", so what did he have to do with his father? Besides, some children in the class didn't have a father, and some didn't have a mother. In Chacha's opinion, this was all very normal.
At the threshing ground, Du Yunxiang finished chatting with Liu Wangxue, looked at his watch, and seeing that it was almost time, he said, "Let's go back and let Cha Cha wash up and read a storybook for a while, because it will be time for him to go to bed."
"Okay." Liu Wangxue said. It was indeed getting late and the temperature outside seemed to have dropped a little. She had been sitting here for a while and her feet felt cold.
At this time, an adult came over and called the children to go home. Xiao Tao and Hao Hao said goodbye to Cha Cha and said they would go to play with him tomorrow.
But Cha Cha is living in Liu Wangxue's house now, so she ran over to ask Liu Wangxue: "Aunt Liu, Xiao Tao and Hao Hao want to come and play with me tomorrow, is that okay?"
"Of course you can." Liu Wangxue said, "Don't forget Youyou. Let's go pick you up tomorrow morning and then ask them to come together, okay?"
Xiao Tao and Hao Hao followed Cha Cha and heard Liu Wangxue's answer, so they said actively, "Sister, let's go pick up You You tomorrow. Cha Cha can just wait for us at home."
The three little ones also ran over. It was a rare opportunity for little Lan Ci to run with the kids. She was tired and was now pulling at Liu Wangxue's trouser legs to ask for a hug.
Liu Wangxue picked up Xiaoci and just smiled at the two children. She didn't respond verbally and left it to Chacha to deal with.
Cha Cha said, "No, I promised You You that I would go look for him." She also said that she would ask him to go to her uncle's studio to play together. Cha Cha thought, then she could play with Xiao Tao and Hao Hao at Aunt Liu's house in the morning, and then go to the studio to look for her uncle in the afternoon.
Xiao Tao said, "Okay."
Haohao felt that Chacha might not be able to find his home, so he said, "Then Xiaotao and I will go to Youyou's home first, and we will wait for you there."
After the three children made an appointment, they waved and said goodbye.
Gua Gua had already crawled into the hood of Cha Cha's down jacket and was lying there comfortably. Du Yunxiang tested the temperature of Cha Cha's forehead, took the handkerchief handed to him by Anding, and wiped the thin layer of sweat off his face.
The four of them and the three returned to the courtyard together.
When they walked to the courtyard, they found that Xu Qingsong's courtyard door was not open, and there was no light in the crack of the door. They looked up and saw that the light in the sunroom upstairs was also not on. When they arrived at the door, they happened to see Gu Xuelan coming from the small building. Liu Wangxue looked over there and asked, "Are you drinking tea in the living room?"
Gu Xuelan nodded. She had just delivered a plate of fruit and looked quite worried: "I don't understand what they are saying, but I feel that the atmosphere is not very good. Xuxu, go and take a look, maybe something happened." Xu Qingsong was sitting there, and she didn't want to call him out to ask, as she always felt that any excuse he made would be very deliberate.
"I'll go take a look." Du Yunxiang said. She didn't even need to guess to know that they were definitely talking about Cha Cha's "father". She didn't know why the guy named Richard was so interested in this matter.
When Cha Cha saw his mother walking towards the living room, he wanted to follow her. At this time, Liu Nanshan stood at the kitchen door and waved at him: "Cha Cha, grandpa made you some delicious ginger milk. How about we have a bowl?" The ginger milk had just come out of the pot, and he was worried that something might happen between the adults, and if he was not careful, it would affect the child.
Cha Cha looked at Liu Nanshan, then at Du Yunxiang. Du Yunxiang said to him, "Sit with grandpa and grandma for a while, mom will come over soon, okay?"
"Okay." Cha Cha nodded and walked towards the kitchen with Liu Wangxue.
Gu Xuelan pulled Anding along as well: "Come on, Xiao An, you come too. Your uncle has made a bowl for everyone. Let's eat first, and I'll bring it to them later."
Liu Wangxue placed Xiaoci in her arms on a chair, took Chacha to the sink to wash her hands, and then sat down at the dining table.
Liu Nanshan came over with a tray with five small porcelain bowls on it. He placed a bowl in front of Cha Cha first and smiled amiably: "Cha Cha, try it and see if it tastes good."
Cha Cha said politely, "Thank you, Grandpa."
There was also a porcelain spoon in the porcelain bowl, and the spoon seemed to be floating on the surface of the milk, with no intention of sinking.
Chacha picked up the spoon and put it back. It was bouncy and soft, and he thought it was very interesting. He couldn't help but scoop up a small piece and put it into his mouth. It was fragrant and sweet, but it also had a taste that he couldn't describe. But he didn't hate it. After swallowing it, he immediately praised it and said to Liu Nanshan: "It's delicious!"
The smile on Liu Nanshan's face became even wider.
Liu Wangxue had helped him take the other bowls on the tray, and they sat around the dining table, eating and chatting.
The kitchen was heated, so the temperature was higher than outside. Gu Xuelan was still worried that Cha Cha would get cold, so she asked the child and touched his palm. He had just run outside, so it was not cold now. However, after Gu Xuelan served ginger milk to the four people in the living room of the small building, she also brought a small heating fan.
They sat in the kitchen for a long time before the four people in the living room of the small building came out after finishing their chat. Xu Qingsong was holding four porcelain bowls and spoons stacked together in his hand, and Du Yunkai was holding the set of tea set they had just used, and they took it over to wash them together.
Liu Wangxue noticed Richard's expression and saw that he had regained his spirits. He looked at Cha Cha with the care of an elder. She thought, is it confirmed? But it's not a good time to ask more questions at this time. She will chat with Xu Qingsong privately later.
It was getting late, so after washing the tea sets, bowls and spoons, everyone chatted for a while, and then Du Yunkai and Richard went back to the studio to rest.
Xu Qingsong also went back to the next room. Before leaving, he exchanged glances with Liu Wangxue and made a secret gesture, meaning that they should talk on the phone later.
The kitchen lights and door were turned off, the yard gate was locked, and everyone went back to their rooms to wash up and rest.
Gu Xuelan was a little worried, so she went upstairs to the guest room to see if Du Yunxiang needed anything or needed help. Liu Wangxue was there too, helping to clean up, so Gu Xuelan stayed for a while before going downstairs again.
Hearing that Du Yunxiang was coming, Gu Xuelan prepared everything for them, including some things Du Yunxiang brought himself. Now they took out the things they needed and put them in the cabinet.
Little Cha Cha is already able to tidy up things by himself, and Liu Wangxue is just helping him out of courtesy.
There was only one bathroom upstairs, so Liu Wangxue asked Du Yunxiang to use it first with Cha Cha. The child took a quick shower, and then Du Yunxiang wrapped her in a thick blanket and carried her back to the room, tucking her into the quilt.
Du Yunxiang came back after washing and knocked on Liu Wangxue's bedroom door: "We are all done, you can go quickly."
"Okay." Liu Wangxue came over to open the door, and went next door to say good night to Cha Cha.
After she closed the door and left, Du Yunxiang lay down with little Cha Cha, telling him stories with a picture book. Cha Cha gradually fell asleep in her gentle voice.
After taking a shower, Liu Wangxue returned to the bedroom and picked up her phone to continue chatting with Xu Qingsong.
She lay down on the bed, and suddenly became frivolous again, smiling maliciously: [I'm back, can I make a suggestion? ]
While she went to wash up, Xu Qingsong received photos and videos of the construction progress from the home decoration designer. He found several places that were not satisfactory and made some suggestions, asking the designer to urge the decoration master to tear down and redo it.
The texts sent by the designer were filled with a strong sense of fatigue. If it weren't for the introduction by an acquaintance and the high money offered by Xu Qingsong, the other party really didn't want to do it anymore. He was too difficult to please. He made an appointment with him for the decoration design draft at the end of December. He revised the draft almost ten times before finalizing it. After the decoration plan was determined, he had to follow the supervision. Not only would someone come to inspect from time to time, but he also had to send photos and videos to Xu Qingsong after each step or area was completed. If he was not satisfied, the master had to redo it. Really, if it weren't for the money, the designer would have resigned long ago.
In fact, Xu Qingsong is not a picky person at all except when it comes to his job, but this is a surprise prepared for Liu Wangxue. He can't go back to Beijing for the time being, so this is the only way.
As soon as Xu Qingsong made his suggestions to the designer, Liu Wangxue sent him a message asking for suggestions as well. He couldn't help but smile: [Sure, go ahead.]
Liu Wangxue's fingers quickly tapped the keyboard: [Don't you think it's tiring for us to chat like this? Look, I live alone on the second floor now. The door to the sun room is not locked. I'll leave the door to the corridor for you.]
Xu Qingsong laughed twice: [So, what is your suggestion? ]
Liu Wangxue sighed. What else is there to not understand? She was so straightforward: [My suggestion is that you go out and up the stairs, pass through the roof of my bungalow, come in from the sun room, push open the door of the corridor, and then you will appear in front of me]
Xu Qingsong didn't reply to her, but kept smiling while looking at his phone.
Liu Wangxue sent another message: [Chatting face to face saves a lot of effort]
The next second, Xu Qingsong called directly via video. Liu Wangxue clicked the answer button, and the screen showed his smiling face shot from a fatal angle.
Xu Qingsong said: "It's quite convenient to chat this way. Besides, you don't live alone on the second floor now."
Liu Wangxue got off the bed and went to the table to find her headphones, her eyes never leaving the screen: "Wow, he's so handsome even at a death angle, he's worthy of being the man I like!" He's good in every way, except that he's a little hard to seduce.
Xu Qingsong was amused by her again.
Liu Wangxue opened the drawer, took out the headphones, put them on, and continued the previous topic with him: "Then, Sister Yunxiang also told me that she checked the information of the donor at that time. Does she still have it now?"
This is what Richard wanted to know after learning about Cha Cha's origins. He asked Du Yunkai at the time: "Who is the donor? Do you know? Can you contact him?"
Du Yunkai did not give a positive answer. He understood Richard's extremely urgent mood at the moment, but he really had no way to answer this question.
In that laboratory, Du Yunxiang selected four different candidate numbers, corresponding to four different donors. They spent some time investigating these four donors, summarizing and comparing various information, and selected the number with the most recent donation date.
According to the information obtained, the donor was not a resident of State T where the laboratory was located, but was traveling from State F in the east.
Du Yunkai said, "About two or three months before we contacted the laboratory, the donor finished his trip in State T, but before he was about to return to State F, the small motel where he stayed was robbed at night. The room was not spared, and all his valuables, including his cell phone, computer, cash, and bank cards, were stolen. Fortunately, the robbers only robbed his property and did not hurt anyone. They also left his ID with him."
The donor had no money to go home, and happened to see an advertisement for the laboratory recruiting volunteers, so he went. After completing various examinations and being accepted, he stayed in T State for a while, donated three times in total, and received a subsidy of $600.
Almost five years have passed. Du Yunkai only looked through the information he had collected at that time to confirm that there were no problems with the donor. He did not take any notes because there was no need. Moreover, the information was destroyed after Cha Cha was born, and Du Yunxiang did not think it was necessary to keep it.
By now, Du Yunkai had become even more vague about a lot of information. He could only remember a few things after trying hard, such as the donor had a master's degree, seemed to be engaged in design work, was in good health, had no bad habits, and had no family genetic diseases.
"What about the name? Do you remember his name?" Richard asked, his eyes full of hope, praying that he still remembered it.
Du Yunkai really couldn't remember this: "I only remember that it seemed to be a very common surname, and the first name was also very ordinary, without any characteristics, and there was no memorable point..."
Du Yunkai only remembered that the name was as common and ordinary as Yang Wei and Zhang Li in China, but he really couldn't remember the specific name, maybe XXX Smith?
Du Yunxiang came in and heard this at this time. She sat down directly opposite Richard.
In the studio, she saw the sadness and pleading in Richard's eyes, and her heart softened. In the face of his abrupt question, she still gave an answer.
During the whole dinner, she was also observing Richard and found that he paid unusual attention to Cha Cha. Admittedly, this attention was not malicious, and he seemed to be looking at someone else through Cha Cha, but Du Yunxiang still felt very uncomfortable, and all kinds of associations went through her mind.
After dinner, she said she wanted to take Cha Cha out for a walk. It was indeed because the child ate a little too much and she was worried that he would not sleep well. On the other hand, she also wanted to leave this person who made her uncomfortable to Du Yunkai to deal with.
Unexpectedly, they took such a long walk, but after they came back, the problem was not solved. Du Yunxiang's "daily suspicion" for the day was fulfilled. What's the point of having this brother?! At this moment, she got to the point with a vigilant heart and asked Richard why he was so interested in Cha Cha's father, and why he was so strange from the moment he saw Cha Cha.
Richard had no choice but to repeat the reason again in a sincere tone, hoping that Du Yunxiang could understand and forgive his previous unreasonable behavior.
Du Yunxiang thought about many things, but she didn't expect this to be the reason. She pondered over it in her mind while drinking tea, and finally told Richard the name: "His name is Edward Williams."
"Oh, yes, that's the name!" Du Yunkai said, picking up the kettle and helping her fill the cup.
Richard repeated the name and decided to check it online when he got back. Now that he had the place and the name, as well as the approximate age range, and Du Yunkai had seen this person's appearance, it should be easy to find him.
Richard got excited just thinking about it and immediately wanted to go back to the studio and sit in front of the computer.
Unexpectedly, Du Yunxiang spoke again: "I understand your feelings, but I still want to remind you of one thing. After all, so many years have passed, it is hard to say whether this person is still in F State. In addition, I would like to make a request-"
Richard nodded: "You go ahead."
Du Yunxiang said: "Whether you can find this person or not, and whether you are related or not, you can't mention Charles to him."
She stressed: “Not even a single word.”
If Cha Cha wants to know in the future, Du Yunxiang will tell him. It was Du Yunxiang who made the choice for the child to come to this world, so she hopes that the child can hold all other choices in his own hands. She hopes that Cha Cha will be proactive in facing this matter, not passive. Moreover, times have changed, and people are also changing. She doesn't want the child to be disturbed by someone who suddenly appears.
"Okay, don't worry," Richard promised solemnly, "I will never tell."
After listening to Xu Qingsong's words, Liu Wangxue turned over in bed, feeling a little regretful: "Ah, I thought it had been confirmed." After all, this kind of unexpected search for relatives is something that the public loves to watch.
Xu Qingsong said: "Richard said that he would go back and check first, and then ask his friends in Country M to help ask. He will do his best and leave the rest to fate. He will accept whatever the result is."
"Oh right," Liu Wangxue thought of something, "can't we contact the laboratory first? The laboratory should keep the basic information of the donor, right?"
Xu Qingsong reached out and took the remote control on the bedside table, lowered the air conditioner, and said, "Du Yunkai meant the same thing. I'll contact him tomorrow to ask about it. But it's been almost five years, and I don't know if there have been any changes in the laboratory. Everything is still unknown."
Liu Wangxue asked: "Do you think that the person Richard is looking for may be his twin?" After all, Cha Cha and Richard looked exactly the same when they were children. If this person is really related to Richard, the possibility that they are twins is quite high.
"Based on age, it is possible," Xu Qingsong replied, "but according to Du Yunkai, in his impression, this Edward Williams and Richard don't look alike at all, except for the hair and eye color."
Liu Wangxue got up from the bed, walked to the table and poured herself a glass of water, saying, "This situation does happen. Even if they are identical twins, if they grow up in different environments, their appearance will be different when they grow up."
"Yeah, that's right." Xu Qingsong nodded. "Anyway, I wish him good luck in finding his relatives."
"I hope there will be a good result." Liu Wangxue said.
Xu Qingsong glanced at the time and saw that it was already eleven o'clock, so he said to Liu Wangxue, "Go to bed, it's quite late."
Liu Wangxue didn't say anything. She took her cell phone and walked to the clothes rack at the door, took down her coat and put it on.
Xu Qingsong looked at her movements and sat up straight: "What are you going to do?"
Liu Wangxue pressed the doorknob and walked out, whispering, "Do you think I'm going to climb over the wall to get to your side? You're dreaming. I'm going to lock the door to the corridor. Seriously, I left the door open for you but you didn't come. I won't wait for you anymore."
When the three saw her go out, they also took action, followed by Pengpeng and Guagua. Xiaoci ran to the edge of the bed but didn't want to get off the ground, standing in the corner and yelling at Liu Wangxue. Liu Wangxue had no choice but to turn around and hold it in her arms while talking to Xu Qingsong, and then walked out the door towards the bathroom.
In fact, it was only a few steps away. She even turned on the rear camera when she walked over: "Hey, can you see clearly? It's locked."
Xu Qingsong leaned against the bed and couldn't stop laughing. He thought she was such a lovely baby. He deliberately said, "Is it really locked? What if I sleepwalk over there at night?"
Liu Wangxue walked back: "You can call me, but I probably can't hear you, so even if you shout your throat out I won't open the door for you."
Xu Qingsong laughed: "Oh, what a cruel heart!"
Liu Wangxue closed the bedroom door and sneered, "I have to let you know what happens if you disobey me!"
