Lin Zhibai took her hand, and she immediately felt a wave of warmth.
The sadness in my heart eased a little.
"Do you hope the child is Hua Fei and Huo Beichen's?" he asked.
Without hesitation, she nodded, "I hope so... Hua Fei has been searching for this child for so long..."
If Liang Mufan isn't, it means their child is already...
"Although Xiao Roubao has returned to his biological parents, I will not really lose him. On the contrary, Hua Fei will suffer too much pain."
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately felt Lin Zhibai tighten his grip on her hand.
She was stunned for a moment, "Lin Zhibai..."
Lin Zhibai nodded silently, and after a moment, he said, "Actually, you already know the answer, right?"
Gu Fanyan felt a "boom" in her mind.
Her fears came true.
But she didn't believe it. "Is it possible that the testing agency made a mistake?"
Lin Zhibai remained silent.
In fact, Gu Fanyan herself understood that this institution was ranked among the top three in the city and even the country.
As she spoke, tears welled up in Gu Fanyan's eyes.
She knew there was no way she could be wrong.
If Liang Mufan is not Hua Fei and Huo Beichen's child, then the other person who was adopted must be their child.
But that child is gone.
"How should we tell them?" Gu Fanyan lowered her eyes sadly. "How can Hua Fei bear it?"
Lin Zhibai gently put his arm around her shoulder, "Some things, you just have to bear them yourself."
"Moreover, this is something we shouldn't be telling Huafei."
Gu Fanyan looked at him with a puzzled expression.
He continued, "I will give the report to Huo Beichen, and he will handle the rest."
"He owes Huafei so much, it's time to pay it back, isn't it?"
Despite this, Gu Fanyan still felt very upset.
Suddenly she said, "Lin Zhibai, how about we tell a lie?"
"lie?"
"We'll change the paternity test report and say that the little dumpling is their child, okay?"
Lin Zhibai was slightly taken aback; he had never thought of this.
"Is this... appropriate...?"
Gu Fanyan thought it was quite appropriate. "Hua Fei has been searching for this child for so long. If she knew the truth about the report, she would break down!"
"And what about you? Liang Mufan is her child, so he's no longer your child." Lin Zhibai's eyes were full of heartache.
She knew this would be the consequence, but compared to the excruciating pain Hua Fei would endure, she could bear it.
Lin Zhibai was still hesitant, but he didn't want to object, since if he stabbed Hua Fei, he would indeed be covered in blood.
"Let's call Huo Beichen over and discuss it with him," he could only say.
Gu Fanyan nodded.
That's fine, she can't lie to both of them and create such a big scam.
Huo Beichen arrived at the Gu family's house late at night.
He was away on official business and had obviously rushed back after receiving the call.
"The test results are in?" he asked immediately after meeting.
Gu Fanyan nodded and continued, "I called you here to discuss something with you."
...
On the second day of his stay at the temple, Hua Fei exhausted himself before finally lying down.
I fell asleep before I could even think about anything else.
Suddenly, a knocking sound broke into her dream. She opened her eyes abruptly, a premonition in her heart.
"Huo Beichen, is that you?" she asked through the door.
"It's me." Huo Beichen's voice came from outside the door.
"The test results are in, right?" she said. Before he could answer, she continued, "If yes, knock twice. If no, knock three times."
It was quiet outside for a little while.
Then, there was a knock on the door.
one time.
Two times.
The area outside the door fell silent again.
It remained quiet.
There was no further sound.
"Squeak." The door opened, and Hua Fei stood behind it, covering her mouth to keep herself from making a sound, letting her tears roll down her cheeks.
...
Two months later.
Tonight, the Huo family home is filled with a lively and joyous atmosphere.
The number of invited guests was over a hundred, all of whom were prominent figures in the industry.
Huo Beichen had only had some business dealings with some people, but he had still received their invitations.
Furthermore, the invitation specifically noted that guests were welcome to bring their companions.
Therefore, several hundred people are expected to attend Huo Beichen's son's birthday celebration tonight.
The invitations were sent out a month ago.
Those who received the invitations couldn't help but be curious, and in their spare time, some discussions began to circulate.
"President Huo didn't even have a wedding party, so why is he throwing such a big celebration for his son's birthday?"
"You wouldn't know this, but this time Mr. Huo is celebrating his youngest son's birthday."
"When did he get a younger son? He's only been married for a short time."
"His eldest and youngest sons were born to his current wife... Don't look at me with that blank expression, I'm actually just as confused."
"In short, my youngest son was lost before and was only found a month ago, so we're going to have a birthday party to celebrate in a lively way."
"Wow, there were such twists and turns! That's amazing!"
"Who says otherwise..."
As they were talking, the elevator arrived, and as the elevator doors closed, the chatter gradually subsided.
In the corner, a figure stood frozen, as if struck by lightning.
She was wearing a cleaning uniform with a nameplate that read "Sun Xiaowei's".
"Sun Xiaowei!" a burly woman called out impatiently, "I caught you slacking off again!"
The woman was also wearing a cleaning uniform, but her name tag had the words "Supervisor" on it.
She strode up to Sun Xiaowei and snapped, "Are you here to work or to slack off? Can't you even do this simple thing right?!"
"I quit!" Sun Xiaowei took off her hat, threw it on the ground, and turned to leave.
"You..." the woman glared, "You think you can do anything! Let's see what you can do!"
She immediately took out her phone.
Sun Xiaowei arrived at the outside of a villa that resembled an old castle.
The garden in front of the villa was very large; it took her nearly ten minutes to walk to the front of the building.
“Miss Sun?” The butler had already seen her and slowly approached, saying expressionlessly, “You are not qualified to come and see the master.”
A middle-aged man with great energy lived in the villa.
Even if he makes demands of the Yun, Lu, Gu, Lin, and Shen families, they will still give him some face.
Therefore, many people come to him for help.
He will help, provided you can afford the price he wants.
Last time, Sun Xiaowei came to him for help, on the condition that he hand over the only remaining heirloom of the Sun family.
The housekeeper was well aware of Sun Xiaowei's situation; she had no resources left.
“But your husband didn’t handle things well!” Sun Xiaowei threw an invitation in the other person’s face.
The butler opened the invitation and was taken aback.
Without saying a word, he hurriedly walked into the villa with the invitation in his hand.
Not long after, he reappeared and respectfully said to Sun Xiaowei, "Miss Sun, please come in."
