Zhang Moyan turned on the faucet, and a stream of white water rushed out under great pressure. It stayed there for a long time until someone came in to use the restroom, and then she hurriedly started to wash her hands.
The door of the cubicle opened and closed. Zhang Moyan turned off the faucet, took a tissue to wipe the water off her hands, looked up and saw herself in the mirror. Her face was indeed very pale.
Ever since she learned she was an orphan adopted by the Zhang family, she had longed for a blood connection for over a decade. So, at a time when young people were embracing the "no marriage, no childbirth" policy, her attitude towards love and marriage, both in thought and action, was positive. Why? To get married soon, so she could have one or two blood relatives in this world.
Now, the person who is truly related to her by blood has appeared. At this moment, her heart is filled with all kinds of intense and complicated emotions, but the only thing that is not there is joy.
It was this relative who was connected to her by blood who assigned her mother to return from Japan to carry out a series of secret missions, which led to the death of Xiao Guoxi, the suicide of Zhang Ziqing, and even her breakup with Xiao Xingyu.
Although his biological father's suicide note did not mention the specific content of his mother's mission, judging from Chen Yun's whereabouts after returning to China, the Xiao family in Ruzhou, the mysterious Wang family who instigated Xiao Guoxi to look for her, the south... and the horror revealed between the lines when his biological father mentioned the Chen family in Tongchuan, Zhang Moyan had a vague guess.
The door of the cubicle opened again, and the lady who came out looked at Zhang Moyan, who was still standing in front of the sink, with strange eyes. Zhang Moyan lowered her head, crumpled up the tissue and threw it into the trash can, then walked out quickly.
Since this "one-to-n" paternity test has become an event that has attracted a certain amount of social attention, the Paternity Testing Center specially arranged a meeting room today for the two parties seeking relatives to meet. Leading Media is the only media outlet allowed to enter and report on the case.
With the help of the service desk staff, Zhang Moyan quickly found out the location of the reception room. She walked the 40-meter distance with great difficulty, and every step felt like she was walking on the beat of her heartbeat.
The heavy wooden door blocked out the sounds in the room. Zhang Moyan's cold right hand trembled as she grasped the bronze handle on the door. She prepared herself mentally again, took a deep breath, opened the door and walked in.
I don't know how long I stayed in the bathroom. I think it was past three o'clock. Four staff members in white coats were already scattered around a round table to take samples from the people looking for their relatives. One of the white coats was standing right in front of Zhang Moyan, blocking her view when she pushed the door open.
Jin Xueyang and two management trainees were working on the equipment. There were about a dozen people in the room, but it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Zhang Moyan gently closed the door behind her and walked towards Jin Xueyang in a straight line. As she moved, the back of the man in the white coat in front of her slowly moved to the right, and then an older man in a gray suit and tie appeared in her sight. He was sitting opposite the mahogany conference table, facing her. He was wearing a pair of exquisite glasses and was filling in information on a document with a pen in his hand.
For a few seconds, Zhang Moyan felt that the world had stopped.
Zhang Moyan recognized Chen Guanfu instantly, needing no introduction. It wasn't because he was the only man of the right age in the room, but rather because of some intuition she couldn't explain. However, Chen Guanfu was completely different from what she had imagined.
Despite being over seventy, Chen Guanfu remained erect and imposing. While a man of his age would typically be bald, hunched, overweight, and covered in wrinkles, Chen Guanfu possessed none of these traits, truly possessing the secret to a youthful appearance. Not only was his hair dyed jet black, but his figure was also meticulously maintained, evoking the image of a thin gold figure, with natural beauty and a graceful, elegant figure. He exuded the clean, refined, and upright aura of a gentleman, perfectly in line with traditional Chinese aesthetics.
To be honest, the moment Zhang Moyan saw him, she felt as if the whole room seemed to brighten up a few degrees. She couldn't help but wonder, this man is so graceful in his seventies, what kind of peerless beauty must he have had when he was young?
For a moment, she really found it difficult to connect the person in front of her with terms such as "causing Xiao Guoxi's death, Zhang Ziqing's suicide, and even now her breakup with Xiao Xingyu."
The round conference table in the room was divided into two sides for the audience. On the left was Chen Guanfu, and next to him sat an elegantly dressed lady in her forties. There was also a male police officer in uniform and two staff members in shirts. According to the arrangement information obtained previously, these two people should be a deputy leader of the appraisal agency and the assistant of Director Wang Shuai.
On the right side of the round table are five young men and women, three women and two men, all about the same age as Zhang Moyan. They are Chen Guanfu's "potential" relatives who were selected based on the conditions after the missing person notice was released.
The atmosphere in the reception room was extremely solemn and quiet, with the occasional sound of pages turning. Zhang Moyan, her heart pounding, walked gently to Jin Xueyang's side.
"Are you having diarrhea? It must be the problem with the squid in the cafeteria at noon. I said it wasn't fresh, right?" Jin Xueyang didn't blame her for being late. He looked at her while turning on the camera, as if to imply that she had suffered in the past for not listening to good advice.
"Maybe," Zhang Moyan said perfunctorily, raising her chin towards the round table. "Is everything okay?"
"Well," Jin Xueyang stepped away from the camera and said to her, "You take the photo later." He bent down and pulled out two pages of paper from his bag. "I'll ask them a few questions and give them a sample for the two little brothers!"
Zhang Moyan nodded, and the two management trainees stood at attention and almost saluted when they heard it.
“Thank you, Brother Yang!”
“We must study hard!”
