Chapter 165 Xixi, you are the true heiress of the Zhou family
Zhou Jingming glanced at her and said, "We can take your blood and enter it into the database for matching. If your parents or family members are also in the database, we can find you very quickly."
This is not a bad idea. Lin Xi nodded. "Then I'll go and collect blood for the database."
Whether it was thrown away or stolen, she should know the truth; she can't live her whole life in a daze.
Zhou Jingming hummed in agreement. "I can take you anytime."
"Is today okay?" Lin Xi was anxious, what if her biological parents were looking for her?
"Go now? Blood collection will be quick," Zhou Jingming suggested.
Lin Xi nodded quickly, "Thank you, Brother Zhou."
Zhou Jingming turned the car around and drove to the blood donation center. It seemed like everything was ready. As soon as Lin Xi arrived, someone immediately helped her draw blood. She left her name and phone number, and that was it—less than ten minutes later.
"The efficiency here is amazing!" Lin Xi exclaimed.
Zhou Jingming nodded. "The DNA testing will take a few more days. Don't worry, they will contact you as soon as they have any news."
“Okay, eighteen years have already passed,” Lin Xi smiled. “Waiting a little longer won’t hurt. I just hope there will be a result.”
“There definitely will be,” Zhou Jingming stared at Lin Xi’s face for a few seconds. “Let’s go eat. Tian Tian and the others are probably getting impatient.”
Just as Zhou Jingming finished speaking, Lin Xi's phone rang. It was Bai Tiantian calling.
"Xixi, where are you and Jingming?" Bai Tiantian asked anxiously. "He didn't kidnap you, did he?"
"No, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Xi covered the phone's receiver, afraid that Zhou Jingming would hear her through the sound. "Brother Zhou and I have some urgent business to attend to. We'll be there soon, don't worry."
"Let's go!" Zhou Jingming heard it clearly. He was already used to Bai Tiantian's loud and boisterous manner. He reached out to put his arm around Lin Xi's shoulder, but due to their current relationship, he didn't touch her, only gave her a slight support.
Lin Xi didn't feel anything at all and got into the passenger seat.
After Zhou Jingming thoughtfully closed the car door for her, he walked around to the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and drove the car away.
A girl with shoulder-length short hair and delicate features watched this scene helplessly.
"Jiang Yan, what are you looking at?" asked the female colleague next to her.
"It's nothing," Jiang Yan said, looking away. "I was looking for that restaurant you said was really good. Where is it?"
“It’s up ahead, let’s go there for lunch.” The female colleague took Jiang Yan’s arm and walked forward.
Jiang Yan glanced back at the direction Zhou Jingming had left in. Who was the girl beside him? She looked young, like a female college student.
...
Zhou Jingming and Lin Xi arrived at the restaurant twenty minutes later.
"Jingming, where did you take our Xixi?" Bai Tiantian asked reproachfully. "You didn't bully her, did you?"
"No," Lin Xi sat down next to Bai Tiantian, pinched her arm to stop her from talking nonsense, "Brother Jingming took me to get my blood drawn."
"Draw blood?" Bai Tiantian and Song Chen exclaimed in surprise at the same time, then looked at Zhou Jingming simultaneously. "Why do we need to draw blood?"
“It’s like this…” Lin Xi told Song Chen and Bai Tiantian about Zhou Jingming’s guess and her own thoughts, “No matter what, I just want to give it a try.”
Song Chen fell silent. He understood Lin Xi's feelings. During the more than ten years he had lost his memory, he had always wanted to find his real relatives.
Bai Tiantian blinked and held Lin Xi's hand. "Xi Xi, you're so kind, you definitely weren't abandoned. Your parents and family may have been looking for you all along."
Lin Xi smiled and nodded. "I hope so."
Zhou Jingming looked at Lin Xi thoughtfully. Although Lu Yunzhou and Lin Xi had done a paternity test, he and his father discussed it and decided that, just to be on the safe side, they should do another paternity test between Lin Xi and her aunt.
However, in his heart, Lin Xi was already undoubtedly his cousin.
Zhou Jingming's phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw a message from his fiancée, Jiang Yan, asking him what he was doing.
A hint of tenderness appeared in Zhou Jingming's eyes. He took a picture of the food on the table and sent it to the friend: "Having dinner with friends, what about you?"
Jiang Yan zoomed in on the photo Zhou Jingming sent. There were four sets of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, and the person sitting next to him... judging from his hands, it looked like a man.
Maybe they really are friends?
Jiang Yan replied: 【I'm having lunch out with my colleagues. Are you free tonight?】
She and Zhou Jingming have been engaged for over a year, but they still live separately and see each other twice a week. Their relationship is stable and uneventful.
Zhou Jingming had no intention of getting married either; she felt that if things continued like this, they might break up.
She thought she should talk to Zhou Jingming. She was already twenty-five this year, and once she turned twenty-five, she would be considered old, and she didn't want to waste any more time.
"I'll pick you up from work. Are you working overtime today?" Zhou Jingming replied quickly.
Jiang Yan: [No overtime, leaving work as usual, see you tonight.]
Zhou Jingming put down his phone, and Bai Tiantian winked at him. "Jingming, are you texting your wife? It looks like your soul is about to fly off to her. When are you going to introduce her to us?"
“She’s too busy with work,” Zhou Jingming smiled. “When she has time, she will definitely introduce you to her.”
Song Chen's expression improved considerably. It turned out that Zhou Jingming really did have a fiancée, and they seemed to have a very good relationship.
After the four finished their meal, Lin Xi got into Song Chen's car; she couldn't trouble Zhou Jingming any further.
Zhou Jingming took a large bag of snacks out of the car and handed it to Lin Xi, saying, "Xi Xi, these are snacks that Ranran bought especially for you."
"Thank you!" Lin Xi accepted it. "Brother Zhou, you've gone to so much trouble for me today."
"Don't mention it, it's nothing," Zhou Jingming nodded slightly to Lin Xi and the others. "Then I'll be going now. Contact me again if anything comes up."
Zhou Jingming left, and Lin Xi opened the bag of snacks. It was full of her favorite foods, so she was sure that Jiang Ran had bought them for her.
Bai Tiantian leaned over to take a look, "Just to deliver this bag of snacks? Brother Jingming must have a lot of free time."
"This is Ranran's treat," Lin Xi said, placing the bag of snacks between the two of them. "Do you want some?"
Bai Tiantian picked up one, opened it, and put it in her mouth. "Why do I feel like Jingming is looking at you strangely?"
"Really?" Lin Xi didn't pay much attention. "Is it possible that you saw it wrong?"
"No way, how could someone as clever as me be wrong?" Bai Tiantian glanced at Lin Xi. "Do you think Jingming might be her biological brother?"
"Huh?" Lin Xi was shocked by Bai Tiantian's idea.
“Jiang Ran is actually the fake heiress who was switched at birth,” Bai Tiantian’s eyes widened as she excitedly grabbed Lin Xi’s arm. “And Xixi, you are the real heiress of the Zhou family.”
"You are the kind-hearted female lead, and Jiang Ran is the vicious female supporting character. You two are a real-life version of the real and fake heiresses!"
