Chapter 80 Is Yuanyuan really his child?
Gu Zheng watched as Yuan Yuan's figure was enveloped in white light and slowly disappeared. This time, the special forces kings who were specially selected still couldn't go together.
Thinking of Yuanyuan's smile before she disappeared, he unconsciously curled up the corners of his lips.
Although the little girl is only five years old, she is much more composed than other children her age, and she is never timid when she goes to the Beast World to carry out missions.
He rubbed his temples, said something to Xia Zhiyun, and turned to walk towards his office, still having some data to organize.
As soon as I opened the door, my phone on the table started buzzing. It was out of battery, so I had left it in the office to charge.
I walked over, picked up my phone, and saw that it was filled with pop-up notifications of missed calls, densely packed and taking up the entire screen.
Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment, then opened the call log. He found that his mother's number had been called fifteen times, his father's number eight times, and his grandfather's number was even more exaggerated, with over twenty calls, plus several missed calls from the home landline.
If his phone hadn't been charging, it would have run out of battery by now.
What happened?
He frowned. There had never been so many phone calls from home before. Could it be that the old man was having health problems?
Or is there an emergency at my parents' place?
He immediately called back his mother's number. It was already past midnight, and he was surprised to find that his mother was still awake.
As soon as the call connected, Gu's mother's anxious and worried voice burst out.
"Gu Zheng! Where the hell have you been?"
"You're not answering so many calls, do you have a death wish?"
Gu Zheng was stunned by the barrage of insults. He moved his phone away and spoke with a hint of helplessness.
"Mom, I was busy with work today and my phone was charging in the office, so I didn't hear you."
What happened at home?
Is Grandpa feeling unwell?
"So comfortable, so very comfortable!"
Mother Gu's voice brightened again, "It feels even better than winning fifty million."
“…”
"Gu Ming is getting married?"
Gu Ming is his younger brother, five years younger than him, and has just graduated from university.
He simply couldn't understand what could make his whole family so happy.
"What nonsense are you talking about? That brat Gu Ming would never marry you."
"..."
"Gu Zheng, I have some amazing news for you. You must hold your breath and listen carefully."
"Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."
Gu Zheng's curiosity was piqued.
"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan is your own daughter!"
"Mom, are you confused? Yuanyuan is naturally my daughter. I even brought her back to see you."
"No, it's the kind of kissing, the biological kind, the kind where the DNA test report shows a 99.99% match!"
Just by listening to her voice, you could tell how excited Gu's mother was.
"..."
Ten seconds passed... Gu Zheng didn't speak. A minute passed, and he still didn't speak.
"Hey? Zheng, are you still listening?"
"Hello? Hello? Hello?"
Is the signal bad?
"..."
"Did you hear me when I said Yuanyuan is my precious granddaughter?"
Gu Zheng's phone slipped from his hand and almost fell to the ground. He gripped it tightly again, his ears ringing, and his mother's voice became muffled.
"Mom, are you still half asleep and dreaming?"
"I know you want to have grandchildren, but how could Yuanyuan be my child?"
"He has a father."
"You're the one dreaming!" Gu's mother was furious. "I've seen the paternity test report with your father and grandfather. It clearly states in black and white that the biological father-daughter relationship is confirmed. How could it be fake?"
Think about it yourself, Yuanyuan's eyes and nose are practically identical to yours when you were little, didn't you notice at all?
Gu Zheng's mind exploded with a "boom".
He thought about what Gu's mother said and realized that he always felt a strange sense of closeness to Yuanyuan.
In the past, he would never have tried to play with a child right away. He would have been hands-on with her and would never have worried that she was not doing well in a foreign place, thus losing interest in the experiment.
He thought it was because he and the child clicked.
Previously, many people in the Forestry Bureau had been gossiping about it privately, and a few bolder ones even jokingly asked, "Could Yuanyuan be your illegitimate daughter? She looks so much like her."
At the time, he took it as a joke and even scolded the person.
He stood there, his mind buzzing. How could this be? How could he have a five-year-old daughter?
When did he and Xia Zhiyun have any interaction?
How did they have children?
Why doesn't he have any recollection of this?
"Gu Zheng, say something!"
Gu's mother stamped her foot anxiously on the other end of the phone, "Did you hear that? Yuanyuan is your daughter! Your grandfather is overjoyed and says he's going to the Forestry Bureau to see her tomorrow. He wants you to get the approval done as soon as possible!"
"Your dad and I are going too."
Gu Zheng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He is usually a calm and composed person who never panics in the face of adversity, but this matter was so unexpected and impactful that he couldn't calm down for a while.
"Mom, is the test report real? There's no mistake?"
"Nonsense! Would I joke about something like this?"
"I personally took the sample to Zhang Ma to have it done at the hospital."
The report only passed through her hands, so it can't be wrong. You need to quickly find a way to let us see Yuanyuan tomorrow!
"Yuanyuan is not at the Forestry Bureau."
"She has gone on a long trip and won't be back for ten days."
"Where did he go?" Mrs. Gu asked anxiously.
"I can't disclose that, anyway, she's not with me right now."
Gu's mother paused, thinking of his confidentiality, "Then when she comes back, you should notify us as soon as possible."
Also, you should ask her mother right away what exactly happened.
When did you two have your child?
How could she keep it a secret for so many years?
Before Gu Zheng could recover from hanging up with his mother, his phone rang again; it was his father.
"Gu Zheng, the appraisal report is genuine, you don't need to doubt it."
Your mom asked me to remind you not to forget to ask the child's mother clearly, and not to get too excited, and to be mindful of your words.
She gave birth to our family's eldest granddaughter. You should treat her well, and ideally, bring her home and take responsibility for her.
"Dad, I understand." Gu Zheng hung up the phone, but his mind was still a mess, like a ball of yarn that he couldn't untangle.
He walked to his desk, sat down, picked up a water glass, and took a sip. The icy water slid down his throat, but it didn't calm him down much.
Is Yuanyuan his daughter?
It really is his daughter!
He still felt it was unreal.
"Professor Gu?"
There was a knock at the door, and Gu Zheng responded by letting the person in.
It was Lu Yuan who arrived, carrying a stack of documents.
"Professor, here is the data analysis sheet you requested."
Gu Zheng pointed to the table, "Put it there!"
When Lu Yuan came in, he noticed that Gu Zheng's expression was a bit off, but he didn't dare to ask.
"Professor, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
He could go back and catch up on his sleep; he'd been busy these past few days and only had a few hours of sleep each day.
"etc."
Gu Zheng called out to him, "Has the DNA test result for Yuanyuan come out yet?"
"You came out a long time ago."
Lu Yuan was puzzled. "It came out half a month ago. I put it in the bottom drawer of your desk. I remember telling you. Didn't you see it?"
Gu Zheng then remembered that he was busy with experiments at the time, and when Lu Yuan delivered the report, he casually stuffed it into the drawer and then forgot about it because he was busy.
He quickly opened the drawer and pulled out the report that was pressed at the bottom.
