Chapter 90 Why insist on returning to China for a paternity test?
After turning off the lights, Wenxi was about to close her eyes when she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, right, Shang Ze said he's leaving tomorrow afternoon and he wants to treat me to dinner before he leaves."
Do you want me to come with you?
"I have a feeling that Shang Ze will lose his appetite if you go."
Shang Chen: "..."
The man remained silent for a long time, so long that Wenxi thought he was about to fall asleep.
He suddenly asked, "And what about you?"
Wenxi was a little confused: "What?"
"Will you have a poor appetite if you eat with me?"
Both Shang Ze and Shang Mu disliked him for being too serious and never smiling.
Does Wenxi feel the same way?
"Won't."
Wenxi answered without hesitation.
Without Shang Chen even needing to ask why, Wen Xi said directly, "You're handsome."
"?"
What is the causal relationship between these two?
"My husband is incredibly handsome."
Shang Chen: "..."
Wenxi is getting better and better at coaxing people.
Should he believe it?
The next day, Wenxi had just finished her run when she received a call from Yan Zhao.
After not seeing him for a while, Yan Zhao's voice sounded weak and feeble.
"I owe you an apology for what happened at Ace Restaurant last time."
"There are some things I'd like to talk to you about in person, is that alright?"
Wenxi had been unable to contact Yan Zhao for some time and assumed she had gotten into trouble and was hiding away like a coward.
Wenxi: "Time and address."
"10 a.m., Fuguang Coffee Shop on Zhongxin Road."
"I will be there on time."
After hanging up the phone, Wenxi slowly began her preparations.
At 10 o'clock sharp, Wenxi arrived at Floating Light Cafe.
Yan Zhao seemed to have arrived early and was sitting by the window, lost in thought.
She had lost a lot of weight since I last saw her.
Wenxi put down her bag. "Is the illness quite serious?"
"It's alright, it's not a serious illness." Yan Zhao had been sick for more than half a month, and the restlessness in his body had lessened considerably: "I've just figured out a lot of things."
Wenxi said politely, "It's a good thing that you can understand this."
As long as Yan Zhao behaves himself, everyone else will behave themselves.
"I'm sorry." Yan Zhao seemed to have prepared herself mentally for a long time before saying this: "That day at Ace Restaurant... I was just feeling unbalanced and jealous of you."
She pushed a card in front of Wenxi.
"This is the money I've saved up over the years... It's not from the Yan family, it's money I and my friends earned from investments."
“I know a verbal apology isn’t sincere, but this is all I can offer.”
Wenxi glanced at it and put the card away.
She's not a saint; she doesn't even care when someone throws mud at her.
Wenxi: "Consider the money in the card as compensation for emotional distress. Let's avoid contact between us in the future."
"good."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
She took a small sip of her coffee, her gaze falling on Wenxi, and her eyes suddenly reddened.
Wenxi: "..."
Yan Zhao's face was calm and sorrowful. "Ever since Brother Shang came to visit, Lu Jinghuai has not returned home."
"They're separated now, and maybe the next step... will be divorce."
For the sake of the card in front of her, Wenxi added, "Sometimes marriage isn't necessarily a good thing, and divorce isn't necessarily a bad thing."
In the past, Yan Zhao would definitely have been dissatisfied, saying that Wen Xi was talking without understanding the situation, and incidentally bringing up the topic of 'Lu Jinghuai still cared about her'.
But Yan Zhao was much calmer today: "Have you ever had a crush on someone?"
Wenxi answered decisively: "No."
"I have liked Lu Jinghuai for six whole years."
"I'm not interested in your history of unrequited love."
Yan Zhao was rendered speechless by Wen Xi's words.
Wenxi: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"etc!"
Yan Zhao suddenly called out to Wen Xi, and said hesitantly, "I've actually been wanting to ask you a question."
Wenxi looked at her calmly.
I didn't say I would answer, nor did I say I wouldn't.
Yan Zhao finally asked the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time.
"Your blood type didn't match when you first tested, so why did you insist on going back to China for a paternity test?"
Since their blood types don't match, it's obvious whether they're biologically related.
If Wen Xi doesn't return to China for a paternity test, she will still be the daughter of the Wen family, and Yan Zhao will also be the daughter of the Yan family.
No one will ever know the truth about the babies being switched at birth.
Everyone will live well in their own circles.
It was Wenxi who actively disrupted the peaceful lives of the two families!
Yan Zhao asked, puzzled, "You took the initiative to get a paternity test, isn't it because you want to recognize your biological parents and go back to them?"
"Now that you're back in the Yan family, why are you putting on this aggrieved act, as if I'm deliberately ostracizing you?"
She had wanted to say these words ever since Wenxi returned to her parents' home.
Although Wenxi returned to the Yan family, she always appeared cold and aloof, showing no affection for anyone and no interest in anything.
Even without her presence, Wenxi would not be close to Yan Huai'an and Zhou Ruo.
But everyone blamed her.
It seems that her presence and her actions have alienated Wenxi from Yan's parents.
Yan Zhao felt wronged and confused.
Wenxi's eyes were dark and deep, revealing an unusual calmness.
This calm and rational demeanor, seemingly able to see through everything, made Yan Zhao appear like a clown.
Lu Jinghuai also liked looking at Yan Zhao like that, which drove Yan Zhao crazy.
Wenxi: "So I should just pretend I don't know anything?"
"Why not?" Yan Zhao bit her lip: "If the mix-up incident becomes a scandal, neither family will have peace."
"Your parents and my parents, you and I, will all be forced to accept this cruel fact... to leave the home where we have lived for twenty-seven years."
If she could continue to be the daughter of her adoptive parents, Yan Zhao would rather not marry Lu Jinghuai.
Wenxi's gaze was calm: "Fate has been kind to us, allowing us to be born into wealthy families, where we have no worries about food or clothing and no shortage of resources."
"But what if?"
Yan Zhao's eyes widened in surprise.
Wen Xi raised her voice, her gaze turning colder: "What if the Wen family's own daughter is starving, freezing, or being bullied?"
"Or perhaps they are oppressed by society, burdened by family, and living a life of extreme hardship?"
"Can I just sit back and pretend I know nothing about this?"
Yan Zhao's lips moved slightly, her previous self-righteousness gone, "You can investigate privately first..."
"unnecessary!"
Wenxi interrupted her, "I have enjoyed the Wen family's resources for 27 years, and have been supported by the Wen family to rise step by step. I have lived a very good life."
"Therefore, I cannot be too greedy."
Wenxi took a deep breath and looked at Yan Zhao solemnly: "After all, these things never belonged to me in the first place."
"Being switched at birth and living someone else's life was an accident, so I can say I'm innocent."
"But to know that you are not your parents’ biological child, yet pretend you don’t know and continue to enjoy other people’s resources and take over other people’s parents, that is greed."
"Even without the Wen family's support, I can still live a good life, but the other party may not be able to."
Yan Zhao blushed and her eyes welled up with tears after hearing Wen Xi's words, but she had to admit that Wen Xi was right.
