If you think about it carefully, the water here is very deep.
Despite his inner doubts, Yan Zheng acted swiftly. Around nine o'clock in the evening, the results came back. Upon reading the conclusion, Cheng Shuying burst into tears.
She looked at Xie Jing with tears in her eyes, and Xie Jing looked at her with a somewhat subtle mood. Although it was their first meeting, she could already see that she and Xie Jing had many similarities.
She wasn't the type to cry easily, and neither was Cheng Shuying. But seeing Cheng Shuying crying like this, Xie Jing honestly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Don't cry, it's a good thing that we meet." Because she didn't have too many expectations of each other, Xie Jing said this dryly. Cheng Shuying's tears welled up as she listened.
Yun Lan's eyes welled up with tears. He helped Cheng Shuying explain, "Your mother...she was just so happy and excited. She didn't expect to finally find you this time."
He didn't mention how much hardship he and Cheng Shuying had endured over the years in search of their child. There was no need for that. The child was lost, and ultimately, they, as parents, had the greater responsibility.
Xie Jing patted Cheng Shuying's shoulder: "I'm fine now, right? Don't cry, it's getting late, go home and eat."
Zhou Jiyun turned off his phone and walked over: "Auntie Li is still waiting at home. I asked her to clean up the guest room and stay at her house tonight?"
Cheng Shuying nodded immediately: "Okay, sorry to bother you then."
Xie Jing laughed: "How can it be considered a disturbance? I'm so happy that you're here."
This was indeed her true feelings. To be honest, Xie Jing had a good impression of the couple. Especially when she saw the white frost on Yun Lan's temples, her heart softened.
It turned out that during her search for her parents, her biological parents had not given up on her and had also suffered a lot over the years. Thinking of this, Xie Jing felt a little sad.
Li's mother waited at home. When she heard that Xie Jing and Yun Lan were going to get a paternity test, she became even more nervous. On the one hand, she was worried about the result, and on the other hand, she was also worried about the other party's character.
In Li Ma's opinion, Xie Jing had lived such a hard life for the past twenty years, so she must not give her a bad pair of parents. Just when she was feeling nervous and anxious, Zhou Jiyun and others arrived home.
Aunt Li came over hurriedly: "Miss, son-in-law, you are back."
Xie Jing took Li Ma's hand and introduced her: "These two are my biological children... Mom and Dad. This is Aunt Li. She took special care of me when I was at the Xie family."
Although Xie Jing paused for a moment when introducing Yun Lan and his wife, she still addressed them as "Mom and Dad" in the end. She did so purely out of blood relationship, just like when she accepted the marriage proposal with Zhou Jiyun.
Often, a name is just a name, and many of its meanings are attached to it by others. For example, now, because Yunlan and Cheng Shuying are her biological parents, Xie Jing can easily call them by this name.
But emotionally, she won't give too much at the moment.
Cheng Shuying took Li Ma's hand and said, "Jingjing... thank you for taking care of her before. My husband and I are very grateful to you."
Li Ma quickly waved her hands: "It's not as exaggerated as you say. The eldest lady is easy to worry about, and I didn't do anything."
"I've already reheated dinner. Knowing you were coming, I made a few new dishes."
Zhou Jiyun washed his hands and said, "I'll serve the dishes, Aunt Li, thank you for waiting at home so late today."
Aunt Li smiled and said, "Of course not! You don't know how happy I am. Our eldest daughter will have her own family in the future. I'm happy for her. By the way, I've already packed up the room. I'll be back first. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything else."
After meeting Yunlan and Cheng Shuying, Li Ma felt relieved. Besides, this was a time for their family to reunite, and as an aunt, she didn't want to get involved.
As soon as Li Ma left, everyone started talking freely. Yun Lan and Zhou Jiyun brought out the dishes together. "Do you usually cook?"
Zhou Jiyun smiled slightly: "Usually, when Auntie is here, I will do it. Jingjing can only do simple things."
Yun Lan's eyes softened a little: "Her mother can't cook either."
Zhou Jiyun understood Yun Lan's meaning very well, and he immediately smiled and said, "I married Jingjing, not expecting her to cook for me. She has a job she loves, and she shouldn't let housework hold her back."
The newly-formed father-in-law and son-in-law were getting along quite well. At the dinner table, Xie Jing poured a cup of tea for Cheng Shuying: "Drink some hot tea to warm yourself up. I didn't expect you to appear in front of me first."
"Brother Si Xi was exposed?"
Cheng Shuying held the teacup and said, "After seeing the photo, the old craftsman came to our house the next day. Your uncle... he knew more people, so we quickly found the paternity test report of you and Xie Xuerong."
"The ages match, and you and the old lady do look a lot alike," Cheng Shuying said, finding a family photo. "This is a photo of your grandmother when she was young."
Xie Jing looked at the old photo, then at the family portrait: "Suddenly I know what I will look like when I am old."
"What does it look like?" Zhou Jiyun asked casually as he was carrying out a soup pot.
Xie Jing turned her head to look at him: "Mom just showed me the family photo and said that I look a lot like grandma. I suddenly knew what I would look like in the future."
Zhou Jiyun looked at her seriously: "Even when you are old, you are still very beautiful."
Yun Lan squinted his eyes. He hadn't expected his son-in-law to be like this. Honestly, this was too direct.
After everyone had their meals served, Zhou Jiyun and Yun Lan sat down to eat. Cheng Shuying took the opportunity to ask about Xie Jing's past life, mainly about whether she was happy or not.
Xie Jing was very calm: "Before I knew the truth, I felt that Xie Xuerong and Liu Limin were biased. When I wanted to study medicine or management, Xie Xuerong would not let me."
"He made me learn various arts since I was young. To be honest, I didn't like them at first. But as I learned more, I found them quite interesting. As for financial hardship, I didn't suffer much."
"I'm not the type to swallow my anger."
Yun Lan smiled and said, "She's like your mother in this respect. She usually doesn't take anything to heart, but once she's really bullied, she'll really fight back."
Xie Jing is also trying to discover the similarities between her and Cheng Shuying: "After Xie Wuyang and Xie Wuyou were born, Xie Xuerong and Liu Limin showed favoritism. I was a little sad in the first few years, but gradually I didn't care so much."
"Anyway, as long as they don't treat me unfairly in terms of benefits, I don't really care about their conditional family affection."
Cheng Shuying: "But...but they asked you to marry."
