Throughout the journey, Ding Ba, unlike his usual jovial self, remained silent and restless.
"Don't be nervous, myna. There are only two possible outcomes: yes or no. Didn't you come to terms with it yesterday?" Ye Qingqing comforted her.
Ding Ba smiled wryly, "I thought it through yesterday, but now I'm on tenterhooks again. I can't really describe how I feel, I'm just anxious and confused. Is there any water? My throat is so dry."
Lu Mo handed him his water cup, and Ding Bayi tilted his head back and gulped it all down. He licked his lips and said, "More, I'm so thirsty!"
"That's it, look at how pathetic you are."
Lu Mo snatched the cup, too lazy to bother with this coward anymore. Ye Qingqing took out a gold needle and unexpectedly pricked Ding Ba's back a few times to relax his nerves. Ding Ba felt warm all over and even yawned. His tension disappeared instantly.
They had finally arrived. Gongsun Yu appeared calm, but a closer look revealed a barely suppressed excitement in his eyes. Lu Mo, an observer with a clear perspective, saw it all, while Ding Ba, flustered and oblivious, remained completely unaware.
"Mr. Lu and Dr. Ye, please sit downstairs for a while."
Gongsun Yu accompanied Ding Ba upstairs, while Lu Mo and Ye Qingqing sat downstairs to enjoy tea. It was a particularly high-class tea, and the teacups also looked quite luxurious.
"Why are you making such a fuss? Could the myna really be Gong Yi's grandson?" Ye Qingqing asked in a low voice.
Lu Mo smiled slightly, "Definitely, they'll probably call us up in a bit."
Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up. It seemed she would find out the truth about Gong Zhu's disappearance back then. How exciting!
But quite a while passed, about half an hour, before Gongsun Yu invited them upstairs. "Mr. Ding, no, he is now my cousin."
Although she had guessed the result, Ye Qingqing was still pleasantly surprised, "The paternity test results are out?"
Gongsun Yu nodded with a smile, "Yes, the results show that Mr. Ding and my great-grandfather are related by blood."
Congratulations!
Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo offered their congratulations at the same time. Gongsun Yu was overjoyed. He and Ding Ba hit it off immediately and were now relatives. It was a double celebration!
Gong Yi's room was filled with a festive atmosphere, but Ding Ba's expression was strange, a mixture of joy and embarrassment. His eyes were slightly red, and he smiled awkwardly before turning his head away. He had just been unable to hold back and shed a few tears, feeling too ashamed.
Lu Mo and Ye Qingqing pretended not to see it and congratulated Gong Yi. Gong Yi smiled slightly, his eyes full of joy.
But Lu Mo still didn't understand something and wanted to ask clearly, "Mr. Gong, how can you be so sure that Ding Ba is your grandson and not your grandson or great-grandson?"
This was also something he couldn't understand. From the very beginning, Gong Yi was certain that Ding Ba was his grandson and never considered any other possibilities.
Ding Ba paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "That's right, that's what I think too."
Gong Yi said in a deep voice, "Because forty-eight years ago, I only lost my daughter Gong Zhu, but all my other children are still alive. You can only be my grandson."
Ding Ba was stunned. He sensed Gong Yi's sadness and self-blame and couldn't help but ask, "Then how did you lose my mother?"
Gong Yi's expression changed slightly, his sorrow deepened, and he sighed deeply, his spirits greatly diminished. Gongsun Yu was somewhat worried, so she said, "Great-Grandpa, why don't you rest for a while?"
“No need, I can still hold on. This matter has been in my heart for almost fifty years, it’s time to speak out. I need to give Zhu’er’s child an explanation,” Gong Yi said hoarsely.
