Chapter 46 Paternity Test
He Nanzhou looked at his father in surprise, who came in without even having time to change his shoes, and asked in surprise, "Dad, how did you know?"
When he called Secretary Chen, he only said that he had something going on at home and asked him to come back when he was free, but he did not mention Chaochao.
He Pu looked into the restaurant and explained, "Your second cousin said that your second aunt was at our house just now and saw Chao Chao. As soon as I finished the meeting, Secretary Chen said that you called me and asked me to come back. I thought what your second cousin said must be true."
After he finished speaking, his eyes finally fell on Chaochao. There were some snack crumbs at the corners of the little girl's mouth, and she was carefully pinching them with her hands and eating them.
When he heard the sound, he looked up, his eyes watery like a deer.
It’s Chao Chao, it’s his family’s Chao Chao.
He Pu walked towards her with big strides. When he was right in front of her, he suddenly stopped and smiled slowly, "I'm glad you're back."
He looked a little excited, but restrained. After all, he was a man with a long career in business, and he had prepared himself mentally after returning home, so he calmed down. At this moment, he just touched Chao Chao's head, but the heavy haze in his eyes slowly dissipated.
Chao Chao looked at the serious yet kind man in front of him, wiped his mouth nervously, and called out softly, "Grandpa?"
"Yes, it's Grandpa."
He Pu is not good at expressing his feelings, but he has always been a man of action. For example, he rushed back as soon as he knew the news about Chao Chao, and as soon as Chao Chao said that she felt cold swinging on the swing outside, he immediately set one up in her room.
When he saw Chaochao at this moment, he didn't say much, but his eyes never moved away.
Instead, Song Zhen gently pushed him and said, "How can Chao Chao eat if you look at him like this and make him nervous?"
He Pu quickly turned around, blinked his sore eyes, and said, "I won't look at it, I won't look at it."
Seeing that her father-in-law's eyes were red and he kept turning his head away from them, Jian Yunsang knew that he was a little uncomfortable, so she simply said to them, "Mom and Dad, talk to us. Let's take Chao Chao for a walk in the yard."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Chao Chao still held the cookie in her hand. She looked at He Pu with some concern, but still followed her parents out obediently.
As soon as they left, He Pu hurriedly turned around to look at Chao Chao's back. Song Zhen handed him a piece of paper with some amusement, "Wipe it off, you are really trying too hard to save face. Chao Chao is back, what's wrong with crying out of excitement?"
"What do you know?" How could he leave a bad impression on his granddaughter who had just returned? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glare at his wife, "You too, you should have called me as soon as Chao Chao came back. If it weren't for He Rong, I wouldn't have known about such a big thing."
"Didn't Nanzhou call you? Wang Pingqiu is really quick-witted."
"She really talks fast." He Pu said, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked Song Zhen in a low voice, "Did you find the child today? Have you done a paternity test?"
"The child came back the day before yesterday." Song Zhen had heard from He Nanzhou about Chao Chao's return. She also found it quite mysterious. She said hesitantly, "There's no need for a paternity test. Yun Sang has confirmed it, and we have our own feelings. She must be Chao Chao, right?"
He Pu paused, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's do it. Have you forgotten what happened last time?"
Chao Chao had been missing, and similar children had been found in the past two years, at least three or four times. Some were said to look similar, and some were said to have similar experiences. Anyway, whether it was the couple or Nanzhou Yunsang, they had seen them several times.
But they were disappointed every time, because they knew it was not Chaochao the first time they saw her.
Until half a year ago, a business partner of the He family brought a child who looked very similar to Chaochao and was indeed rescued after being abducted.
At that first glance, Song Zhen and He Pu both felt that it was Chao Chao. Without waiting for a paternity test, they said that this was their granddaughter because they looked so similar.
Later they called He Nanzhou and Jian Yunsang. He Nanzhou was out of town at the time, but Jian Yunsang came quickly.
However, when she saw it, she shook her head and said that this was not her daughter.
Song Zhen was unwilling to give up, wondering how could it not be Chao Chao? They looked so alike. However, after a paternity test, it was confirmed that the child was not Chao Chao.
Later, the He family helped the child find her real relatives. However, when Song Zhen thought that her own child had not returned yet, she felt sad and was sick for two days. The atmosphere at home was depressed for quite some time.
This time, whether it was He Nanzhou and Jian Yunsang, or Song Zhen and He Pu, when they saw Chao Chao for the first time, they all felt that she was their child, there must be no doubt about it, but He Pu felt that a paternity test was still necessary.
When Song Zhen thought of the last time, she couldn't help but sigh. She said to He Pu, "Then go talk to Yun Sang."
He Pu frowned, "You go and tell her. It's not convenient for me, a father-in-law, to tell my daughter-in-law."
"Then tell your son."
He Pu, "Nanzhou also listens to Yunsang."
Song Zhen pursed her lips, clearly wanting to escape.
The two were in silence when they heard Jian Yunsang's voice, "What do you want to tell me?"
Song Zhen suddenly raised her head and saw the coat in Jian Yunsang's hand, then she realized that she came in to get Chaochao's clothes.
She felt a little embarrassed and pinched He Pu.
Under Jian Yunsang's puzzled gaze, the latter coughed lightly and said with a stiff face, "We want to ask about this paternity test... Yunsang, don't get me wrong, we certainly believe that this child is Chao Chao's, just in case..."
"Do it." Before He Pu finished speaking, Jian Yunsang nodded, "I know what Dad means. We in the family certainly believe that she is Chaochao's. But if outsiders knew that we found the child but didn't do a paternity test, they would definitely have doubts. Other things are not a big deal, but Chaochao has just returned and she doesn't feel safe. If outsiders spread rumors and say nonsense around her, the child will be greatly hurt. With this certificate, not only can outsiders not say anything, but Chaochao herself will also have confidence."
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean." He Pu breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became much smoother when he spoke again. "You don't know, when Wang Pingqiu called He Rong, she was talking nonsense, saying that Chao Chao was a similar substitute found by you two. I was so angry when I heard it. After doing a paternity test, I wonder what else they can say."
Jian Yunsang nodded. In fact, it was not just outsiders, even family members would inevitably have doubts in their hearts. It would be fine if this doubt was not spoken out. If it was spoken out, Chao Chao would be very sad.
