Chapter 166 IVF
"I'm sorry, I don't know if you have any misunderstanding about the definition of 'likable'. Even I, your cousin, don't like her, so how can you expect my classmates to like her?
My classmate said that she doesn't welcome outsiders to her home.
If you think Deng Sisi is so likable, why not let her go to your classmate's house to play? Maybe you can find a few more godmothers and godfathers."
My mother was furious. “Why have you become like this? You used to be obedient and sensible. You only learned to talk back to me after going to school for a few years.
Do you think you've grown up enough to no longer listen to me? I'm telling you, if you don't take Sisi out to play, don't expect me to give you living expenses next semester."
"Why don't you talk to my dad and tell him that since your niece is unhappy, he can no longer provide me, his biological daughter, with living expenses.
After all, our whole family has to revolve around Deng Sisi, and we have to coax her to make her happy." I hung up after saying that, not wanting to listen to my mother's rage any longer.
Seeing that I hung up the phone, Xiao Shiqiu hugged me gently and asked, "Did you quarrel with mom again?"
I nodded silently, and he chuckled, "You were like a wildcat with its fur standing on end just now, why are you so listless now?"
I looked up at him. "Why doesn't my mother like me, but likes Deng Sisi instead? Is it possible that I'm not her child? Deng Sisi is."
Without even thinking, he said, "No, you must be her child, and she only gave birth to you."
Seeing him so sure, I was a little surprised: "Why are you so sure?"
He paused and then smiled, "Didn't you ask me to check your aunt's affairs before? I casually checked your mother, and the hospital records show that you were indeed born by her, and she only gave birth to one child.
In addition, Deng Sisi was indeed born to your aunt.
However, I had someone check your aunt's medical records, and they're a bit strange. They show that she does have an ovarian malformation, which theoretically means she can't produce eggs."
She doesn't produce eggs, but she has indeed given birth to a child. A light bulb went off in my head, "Did she do IVF?"
"In vitro fertilization also requires the extraction of eggs from the mother." He rubbed my head.
"What if I use someone else's eggs?"
"Currently, the legally permitted egg donation is limited to surplus eggs from the donor's IVF process. It can be donated voluntarily and requires signed informed consent. Other so-called egg donations are mostly illegal transactions, and such records are difficult to trace."
"How do you know so much?" I was a little curious.
"I once thought that my marriage would last forever, and I wanted to find a surrogate mother through IVF. So I looked into the domestic laws at that time, but later gave up because it was unfair for the child to be without a mother.
I think if it were me, I definitely wouldn’t want to be a product of technology rather than a product of love.”
"I wonder if it's possible that my mom donated the eggs, so she treats Deng Sisi like her own child?"
I always felt that her relationship with my mother was not like that of a normal aunt and niece.
"It's not impossible, but the hospital records don't show it unless they do a paternity test."
"If the IVF was done at the hospital where my mother worked, she might have found a way to erase the record.
I still have to find a way to have them do a paternity test, otherwise I will always be worried.
Now that I have the answer, I can just let go of the worry that's been hanging on my heart, and save myself from feeling unbalanced all the time."
