Chapter 335: Paternity Test
The next day.
Before Jiang Yao was about to leave for the laboratory, the two elderly people in her family suddenly called her.
"Wait a minute, Yaoyao." Old Mrs. Jiang held two well-packaged food boxes in her hands. "This is the fresh osmanthus glutinous rice cake I made this morning. You can take it to your lab and share it with Miss Lan."
"Thank you, grandma." Jiang Yao took it and promised with a smile: "I will."
At this time, Elder Lian Jiang also handed her an old, yellowed book, "And this, I heard that Miss Lan likes to read ancient books, and I just happened to have one in my collection. Please help bring it over."
"Okay." Although Jiang Yao felt a little strange, he just thought they were enthusiastic.
During the lunch break, she took some cakes to share with Lan Qiuru, and handed her the ancient book to convey her grandparents' words.
Lan Qiuru was delighted to receive this gift. "Please thank them for me. I will definitely visit them when I have time."
She held the book in her hands lovingly, flipping through it while taking a bite of the pastry in her hand.
The next second, her movements suddenly stopped, and her eyes were dazed for a moment, "This taste..."
"What's wrong with the taste?" Jiang Yao also took two bites and didn't notice anything wrong with the taste. She was worried that it might not suit her taste.
Lan Qiuru had an indescribable feeling in her heart, "I just feel that the taste is a little familiar, as if I have tasted it somewhere..."
Logically speaking, she has been living abroad for many years and has not had much chance to eat this homemade osmanthus cake.
Moreover, when she ate it, she always felt an inexplicable sense of nostalgia.
When she came to her senses, she had already eaten three in a row.
Lan Qiuru couldn't help laughing: "I seem to like osmanthus cake very much."
"Really? My grandma likes it too." Jiang Yao thought it was a coincidence, but this situation was not uncommon, so he didn't think much about it.
When she returned, she also gave feedback to her grandparents.
As a result, Mrs. Jiang's eyes turned red with excitement.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Yao was shocked.
"No..." Old Mrs. Jiang quickly suppressed her emotions and spoke incoherently, "I'm just happy. It's great that other people like the things I like."
Jiang Yao looked suspicious.
is that so?
It was Mr. Jiang who smoothed things over for his wife, saying, "When you get older, you tend to be sentimental. A few days ago, I praised her a few times, and she was so moved that she cried!"
"Really?" Jiang Yao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, but his doubts were dispelled.
"Who said I was moved? I was just angry at you—" Old Mrs. Jiang immediately retorted.
The couple quarreled even at an old age, but it did not affect their relationship at all.
Jiang Yao accompanied them for dinner before leaving.
After she left, the two old people looked at each other with a hint of guilt in their eyes.
"It's better not to tell Yaoyao about this matter before it comes to a conclusion, so as to avoid her being disappointed." Old Master Jiang suggested calmly.
Even though they have great confidence, if they guess wrong, they will have to bear the disappointment and blow.
Yaoyao has already lost her mother once and it can't happen again.
…
Jiang Yao knew nothing about this.
She felt that her grandparents were old and might need more family company.
Just as she was going out, she saw her uncle coming back. She wanted to mention this to him, but she saw him holding his cell phone with a frown on his face, as if he was talking to someone.
"Fourth Brother, you've done enough for her, and you still need help. Are you really planning to rekindle your old relationship with her? You know what she's been through over the years. Can you really go back to the way you were before?"
Jiang Haozhe's tone was full of helplessness.
However, the person on the other end of the phone said something that made him very angry. "Okay, okay, if you feel you owe it to me and you want to help, then go ahead and help. Don't ask for my opinion."
After saying that, he was so angry that he hung up the phone.
When he turned around, he saw Jiang Yao standing behind him. Jiang Haozhe was startled and asked cautiously, "Yaoyao...you, did you hear everything?"
Jiang Yao asked back, "Is it about Fourth Uncle and that girl?"
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Haozhe was a little nervous.
He knew that his niece had some opinions about the relationship between the fourth brother and his first love.
Afraid that she would be angry about this.
However, this time Jiang Yao was very calm, "What's going on?"
"I don't know the details, but I know he wanted to help the girl with a lawsuit and asked if I knew any good lawyers in the industry..."
After listening to Jiang Haozhe's story, Jiang Yao raised his eyebrows and said, "Uncle, although you were very angry when you hung up the phone just now, you didn't actually intend to ignore him, right?"
Jiang Haozhe looked embarrassed, but he didn't want to lie to her. "I just thought about the muddle-headed days he went through in those years, and I was afraid he would go through it again, so if I could help, I really wanted to help him."
Although he didn't think the broken mirror could be mended.
But now Jiang Jinghe is involved, and as an older brother, it is impossible for him not to be concerned about him.
Jiang Yao sighed helplessly, "In that case, can you let me choose the lawyer?"
"Um?"
Jiang Yao explained, "I know a very good lawyer friend. Maybe he can help."
Moreover, if we find someone familiar with the situation, we might be able to dig out more of Ji Wanqing's background.
"Yaoyao, don't you blame your fourth uncle for hurting your friend?" Jiang Haozhe was surprised.
"It's all in the past. Now my friend has found a good home. I also hope to help my fourth uncle. After all, he is my relative." Jiang Yao said this frankly.
Jiang Haozhe was immediately moved. "Our Yaoyao is really kind-hearted. I'll leave this matter to you."
So that afternoon, Jiang Yao went to the law firm to find Xu Li.
But the receptionist apologized and told her, "Lawyer Xu just left. He seems to be going to Hong Kong to take on a big case. He will probably be back in about two weeks."
"Oh, really?" Jiang Yao didn't expect to come at such an unfortunate time. She felt regretful and could only leave and find another way.
"Wait a minute, are you Miss Jiang Yao?" Just then, a figure hurried over.
Jiang Yao looked up, recognized the other person as Xu Li's assistant, and nodded.
"Okay, I'll ask the front desk to take you to the reception room first, and I'll contact Lawyer Xu right away." After saying that, the assistant went out to make a phone call without further explanation.
Although Jiang Yao was puzzled, he still followed the front desk staff into the reception room.
After a while, the assistant came in with some tea. "Ms. Jiang, Lawyer Xu said he'll be here in twenty minutes at the latest. If you're bored, you can look through some materials here. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."
"Didn't he go to Hong Kong on a business trip?" Jiang Yao asked in confusion.
The assistant hesitated, "Well, let's wait for Lawyer Xu to come back and explain it to you."
"Thank you." Jiang Yao reached out to take the tea without asking any more questions.
