Zhou Manyun's outstretched hand trembled slightly in the air. After taking a deep breath, she took the hand and signed it for the staff.
Just as she was about to open it, a voice came from the bedside, "Mom, what is it?"
Zhou Manyun paused for a moment, "Oh, it's a medical report. Mom wasn't feeling well a couple of days ago, so she had to get it checked out."
He quickly and hurriedly stuffed the report into his bag.
When she looked up at Ning Muwan again, the suspicion in the latter's eyes had disappeared, replaced by a sweet and obedient smile. "Mom, I suddenly want to eat crab roe pastries. The food at the hospital these past few days has been so bland. If you're not too busy, could you go to the neighborhood and buy me some?"
Zhou Manyun was preoccupied with the report in her bag. If she hadn't been worried about not being able to look at it in front of Ning Muwan, she would have opened it long ago.
Of course I don't want to go.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, she coaxed gently, "Mu Wan, Mom has been running back and forth these past few days and is a little tired. How about I send someone to buy it for you?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Muwan's eyes instantly welled up with tears. "Didn't Mom say she loves Muwan the most? The taste of what other people buy is completely different from what Mom buys. I don't want anyone else to buy it for me!"
As she spoke, she immediately lowered her head timidly, "I guess it's all fake when Mom says she loves me. I know I'm just an unwanted burden."
Sigh, forget it, I'll just go back to being a sanitation worker. This place is too upscale and luxurious, and the cost of living is too high. How can a sanitation worker like me afford it...?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Manyun felt a throbbing pain in her head, and a sense of guilt welled up within her.
Helpless, she grabbed Ning Muwan's hand that was lifting the blanket. "Fine, Mom will go, okay? But you're not allowed to say such hurtful things again. You're the daughter of the Ning family, how can you be an unwanted burden?"
"I knew Mom was the best! I love Mom!"
Ning Muwan took the opportunity to hug Zhou Manyun's waist in a flattering manner, nuzzling her head against her, but her eyes were peering through the gap in her waist towards the Chanel bag that Zhou Manyun had placed on the sofa.
Zhou Manyun was so coaxed that she temporarily forgot about the report. She shook her head, turned around, and left.
"Mom, you forgot your phone. You can't pay without it," Ning Muwan said with a smile, noticing her phone still on the hospital bed.
In this way, Zhou Manyun completely forgot that she had forgotten to take her bag!
After she closed the door and left, Ning Muwan got out of bed barefoot and quickly rummaged through her bag. Without the slightest hesitation, she pulled out the paternity test report and flipped to the last page.
Expert opinion: There is a 99.9999% probability that a biological kinship relationship is established.
Ning Muwan's body stiffened in disbelief!
After a while, I turned to the previous page and looked closely. Sure enough, the people being examined were Chu Yuan and Zhou Manyun!
She couldn't help but let out a couple of strange laughs.
How ridiculous! Wasn't that the impoverished family that Zhou Manyun found to be a surrogate mother for her and Ning Mochen?
How did she become Zhou Manyun's biological daughter?!
Then what am I?
Ning Muwan plopped down on the edge of the bed, her mind blank, filled with resentment and unwillingness.
She finally managed to return to the Ning family, and she remembered the loving family and the comfortable life she had enjoyed in the past.
And then there's Ning Mochen, such a wonderful protector. No matter what trouble she gets into, he'll always help her solve it.
Over the years, whenever she had troubles that she couldn't handle, it was Ning Mochen who helped her.
Until she fell into Accumulator's trap and became more and more deeply involved, she dared not tell him, for fear that he would tell her grandfather.
Given her grandfather's old-fashioned, selfless character, one can only imagine what awaits her!
Moreover, she actually learned by accident when she was sixteen that she was not the biological child of the Ning family, but she pretended not to know and continued to enjoy everything the Ning family had to offer, never stopping worrying that she would be discovered.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have become so insecure and anxious that she became addicted to Accumulator.
She was afraid that one day she would be kicked out of the Ning family and could no longer live a life of privilege. So she wanted to make money, lots and lots of money, more money than the Ning family!
Unfortunately, she lost.
Her good luck was probably all used up when she was switched at birth and ended up in the Ning family! Heaven was really cruel to her!
If it's destined to be a short-lived possession, it's better to have never had it at all!
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, she began to implement her plan.
On the one hand, she registered her marriage with Ning Mochen. That way, even if her plan failed, Ning Mochen, as her nominal husband, would have to clean up her mess.
On the other hand, she accepted Xiao Shuo, the dance instructor who had always secretly loved her, and agreed to elope with him to live together in a place where no one knew them.
Xiao Shuo came from a poor family. His father was an alcoholic and his mother worked as a pimp in a nightclub. He knew he was not good enough for her, so he didn't dare to pursue her openly and could only humbly harbor a secret crush on her.
A man like that, who would be so overjoyed at the mere thought of being with her that he would forget his own name, would never question her intentions.
Everything went smoothly as she planned, including arguing with Xiao Shuo and going to the beach alone to create an accident. However, she still overlooked one thing—
A knock on the door interrupted Ning Muwan's thoughts.
She instinctively shoved the report back into her hand, then lay back down on the bed pretending nothing had happened. "Who was it? Was it a nurse?"
Zhou Manyun pushed open the door and entered. "It's Mom. Mom forgot her bag."
Zhou Manyun walked to the sofa, picked up her bag, and waved it at Ning Muwan.
Actually, it would only be a short while, and it wouldn't be a problem not to take the bag, but Zhou Manyun had a sudden inspiration and realized that she could take this opportunity to finish reading the report outside before coming back.
