Chapter 065
Zhou Yanci had heard Meng Yingrong mention the name Lu Wanning more than once, but he had already clearly rejected Meng Yingrong and did not want to go on a blind date with Lu Wanning.
He didn't know why Lu Wan Ning came here. Meng Yingrong didn't even know that he was in the hospital, right?
Out of courtesy, Zhou Yanci asked Lu Wanning to sit down.
Lu Wanning didn't care about Zhou Yan's words at all, and her eyes were always fixed on Yan Xi.
"Girlfriend?" she asked.
Zhou Yanci and Yan Xi coughed twice at the same time.
Zhou Yanci felt strange when his former blind date said this. Coincidentally, Yan Xi also knew about the relationship between Zhou Yanci and Lu Wanning, and suddenly she felt like she was caught cheating.
"Friends." Zhou Yanci said.
"oh."
Lu Wanning responded in a neutral tone. She didn't look at Zhou Yanci the whole time, her eyes stayed on Yan Xi, "Ms. Yan, I know you. My brother participated in a variety show before, and I am grateful for your care."
"It's not really taking care of me," Yan Xi said truthfully, "We're just friends, hanging out together!"
Lu Wanning smiled, "I think you two get along very well. My relationship with Beiyu is not as good as yours with him."
Yan Xi: “…”
Why did she feel like Lu Wanning was hinting at something?
System: [Host, you are right! ]
[I also think she is hinting! Crazy hinting! ]
Zhou Yanci felt ignored for a while, and then he noticed that Yan Xi was trying to avoid Lu Wanning, so he helped her change the subject.
"Ms. Lu, how did you know that I was in the hospital? Not many people know about this."
Lu Wanning just looked at Zhou Yanci and said, "Lu's family started out in medicine, and we have shares in this hospital. I came here to inspect and found out about this by accident. Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I won't tell anyone."
Zhou Yan politely said, "Thank you very much."
"By the way," Lu Wanning looked at Yan Xi again, "Miss Yan, do you know why our Lu family has developed so well in the medical field?"
Yan Xi stammered, "I don't know..."
Lu Wanning: "This has something to do with our family. We once lost a child."
"The Lu family funded all the orphanages in Haicheng and collected DNA from all the orphans, but we searched for 20 years and still couldn't find the child."
"It is also because of her that Lu has been engaged in genetic testing for 20 years and is particularly prominent in the medical field."
Lu Wan Ning looked at Yan Xi, with redness in the corners of her eyes.
After she became the CEO of Lu Group, she always gave people a cold impression. She had a gentle appearance, and in order to appear impressive, Lu Wanning never showed her weak side to others.
But today, when she looked at Yan Xi, her nose felt sore.
Yan Xi didn't dare look at Lu Wanning. This avoidance made Lu Wanning's intuition even stronger.
She leaned closer to Yan Xi and said, "I was wondering, we collected DNA from all the orphans in Haicheng, how come we can't find that child... Unless she was adopted by someone, she doesn't know she is an orphan, and has never looked for her biological parents."
"Ms. Yan, do you think I'm right?"
Yan Xi hesitated for a moment, "Yes, your analysis is very reasonable."
After getting the answer she wanted, Lu Wanning smiled with satisfaction, and her sharpness was much less intense.
Zhou Yanci finally understood.
Lu Wanning didn't come to visit the patient, she came for Yan Xi.
It was no secret in the wealthy circle that the Lu family had lost their little daughter. Zhou Yanci vaguely remembered that the Lu family had been engaged in the medical field for twenty years, and Yan Xi was exactly twenty years old.
Moreover, Yan Xi and Lu Wanning are very similar.
In the past, Yan Xi always wore casual clothes and dressed like a girl, which didn't give him this feeling. But after becoming the VP of Xingyao, Yan Xi also started to wear professional clothes. Now she and Lu Wanning sit together... like sisters.
"Would you like some fruit?" Lu Wanning suddenly asked.
She had nimble fingers and before Zhou Yanci could refuse, she had already picked up the fruit knife and mango on the table. "I heard that mangoes are delicious, sweet and juicy. Unfortunately, my whole family is allergic and can't eat them."
While peeling the mango, she asked Zhou Yanci, "Mr. Zhou, can you eat it?"
Zhou Yanci: "..."
"able."
Lu Wanning looked at Yan Xi again, "Ms. Yan, can you eat it?"
Yan Xi: “…”
"Yes."
Lu Wanning paused. The word "ordinary" made the gentleness on her face fade.
Lu Wanning's knife skills were very skillful. She turned the fruit knife in her hand and completely peeled off the mango skin. She handed the cut mango to Yan Xi, "I thought Miss Yan was allergic to mangoes like me."
Yan Xi looked calm and held out her hand. "How could that be? Miss Lu, you must have remembered the wrong person."
Seeing Yan Xi about to touch the mango, Lu Wan Ning suddenly let go.
The slippery mango flowed through the two people's hands and fell to the ground with a "plop".
"It's dirty, don't eat it."
Lu Wanning was not interested. She took out two wet tissues to wipe her fingers, then stood up.
"It's getting late, Mr. Zhou. I wish you a speedy recovery."
After saying this, Lu Wanning left the ward.
From beginning to end, she didn't even look at Zhou Yanci. Even when she said her final farewell, she was looking at Yan Xi.
——
After walking out of the ward, Lu Beiyu immediately came up to me.
"Sister! You saw Yan Xi, right? You also think she looks like her, right?"
"I don't know," Lu Wanning said in a muffled voice, "but I feel like she's rejecting us."
Lu Beiyu scratched the back of his head and said, "Yes, Yan Xi said she didn't want to go back to her family. I guess she saw your intention, right?"
"Don't tell my parents about this yet," Lu Wanning said, "Let's wait for the DNA results. The blood sample has been sent for testing anyway. The results should be out in three hours at most."
Lu Beiyu nodded reluctantly.
In fact, they came to the hospital to collect Yan Xi's DNA, and Lu Wanning didn't have to visit the patient.
But when she learned that Yan Xi might be her sister, Lu Wan Ning couldn't help but take a look.
Suddenly, Lu Beiyu thought of something, "Sister, the man in there is Zhou Yanci! Did you take a closer look at the man who almost became your husband?"
Lu Wanning recalled for two seconds, "I didn't notice it, it was too ordinary."
Land North Island: ???
ordinary?
It's not like he hasn't seen what Zhou Yanci looks like before, so how could he call this ordinary?
——
In the ward, the nurse picked up the mangoes that had fallen on the floor. Zhou Yanci took an apple and a fruit knife and peeled them in silence.
The fruit was bought by Zhou's father. It's not a mango, but Yan Xi can eat it too.
While Zhou Yanci was peeling apples, Yan Xi called out the system.
"Tong, I suspect the plot has noticed me."
The system looked confused: [Ah? Why?]
[Because Lu Wan Ning came to find you? But she just wanted to find her family! ]
Yan Xi shook her head. "Lu Wanning's motive is not wrong, but this is all too coincidental."
"I didn't just find out I was an orphan recently. I knew it five years ago. I've been looking for my family for five years but couldn't find them. How could it be such a coincidence that my family appeared as soon as I got involved in the plot?"
[Do you suspect this was a deliberate plot arrangement? ]
【It...it wants to lure you out! 】
[The plot cannot target passers-by, but can only target important characters in the novel. If you become the daughter of the Lu family, you are no longer a passer-by, but a character with a sense of existence. It can destroy you just like it destroyed your brother! ]
Yan Xi nodded, she thought so too.
The second daughter of the top wealthy Lu family, how great a temptation is this? The more dazzling Lu Wanning is in the circle of wealthy families, the more dazzling their second daughter will be in the future.
With such an identity, Yan Xi no longer has to pay back the 10 million yuan she owes Zhou's father, and she will be able to live a smooth life for the rest of her life, or even for several lifetimes.
Few people can resist such temptation.
Yan Xi had never thought of this before, but the system said that it had been protecting her with the aura of an ordinary person, so Yan Xi understood.
The more insignificant the characters are, the less influence the novel's plot has on them; the less important the characters are, the less control they have over the plot.
But if Yan Xi became the daughter of the Lu family, everything would be different.
The appearance of the Lu family was not a blessing for Yan Xi to find her family, but a trap that pushed her into death.
——Of course, if Yan Xi gave up helping Zhou Qingyu, this would become a blessing, and there would be only a fine line between sudden wealth and death.
Yan Xi: "If I remember correctly, in the novel, Lu Beiyu has never participated in variety shows, right?"
[Yes, other stars are participating in the variety show]
Yan Xi understood, "It seems that the plot has been set on me since Lu Beiyu entered the variety show. All the things I have in common with the daughter of the Lu family are to make Lu Beiyu believe that I am his sister and to encourage him to verify our relationship."
【！ ！ ！】
[So, once the DNA test shows that you are the daughter of the Lu family, even if you don’t recognize each other, the plot can still kill you! ]
It was not difficult to get Yan Xi's DNA. It was only a matter of time to test the relationship between the two.
"I'm afraid... they have already obtained my DNA." Yan Xi looked towards the direction of the ward door.
The system was shocked. [What should I do?]
[The genetic testing technology in China is very advanced, and the results can be known in three hours at most! ]
[Wuwuwu, host, is the plot going to take action against you in three hours? ]
[No!!!]
"What are you afraid of? Do you think I have no way to deal with it?"
The small ball of light that was jumping around in the ward suddenly braked and slid to Yan Xi's side: [Host, what can you do? ]
Yan Xi laughed softly, "Don't they just want my DNA? Give it to them!"
【To...them?】
The system is confused, [When did you give it to me? ]
"Yesterday, I had a blood test for a physical examination. Isn't this the best sample for DNA testing? Otherwise, why do you think I chose a hospital controlled by Luk Holdings for the physical examination?"
The system stroked the bald head: [You came here for a physical examination, didn’t you want to check whether your brother is healthy? ]
"Oh," Yan Xi raised her eyebrows, "By the way!"
"I have to give my DNA and do a physical examination, all together!"
"I can't control the hospital from not giving Lu Wanning my blood sample, but it's not difficult to bribe someone to replace my blood sample."
The system thought for a moment, and its round eyes lit up. [Host, you are so smart! ]
[In this case, the results of their tests will definitely show that you are not related by blood! The plot can't hurt you! ]
"That's not right!"
Yan Xi smiled slyly, "If the plot intervenes, the results of their examination must show that there is a blood relationship!"
The system was even more confused. It felt that as a high-dimensional artificial intelligence, its brain could not keep up with Yan Xi.
"This is the power of the plot. The plot cannot control passers-by.
It can’t see the perspective of a passerby, it can only see the perspective of the Lu family.”
"So when it knew that the Lu family had obtained 'my' DNA, it would make the result become 'yes' no matter what."
"It doesn't matter whether I am the daughter of the Lu family or not. Anyway, the plot wants me to be the daughter of the Lu family."
——
While Yan Xi was discussing with the system, Zhou Yanci kept looking at her.
He found that Yan Xi liked to daydream, but her mind was not as empty as other people's. Her eyes were smart, as if she was thinking.
Zhou Yanci cut the apples, cut them into pieces, and handed them to her.
Yan Xi reached out to take the apple and started eating it as if no one was around.
Her eyes looked forward, as if there was someone standing there and talking to her.
Zhou Yanci couldn't see that person.
But Yan Xi's pupils were focused, which meant that she was not looking at the air, her vision had a focus.
Very interesting.
Yan Xi came back to her senses after she finished discussing with the system. She didn't even know when she had the apple in her hand, while Zhou Yanci was still cutting it slowly and continuing to feed her.
Ah... this patient doesn't seem to be her?
Yan Xi stood up awkwardly and wiped her sticky fingertips with a wet tissue. "I'm leaving first. I've made an appointment with Qingqing to have dinner together tonight. I'll come to see you tomorrow. Do you have any clothes to change? I'll take them back for you."
"Special Assistant Sun will be here soon and he will clean it up."
"All right."
Now the Zhou family already knows that Zhou Yanci is in the hospital, so it is not Yan Xi's turn to look after him. Special Assistant Sun will come over later when he finishes his work at the company. Yan Xi heard Zhou whisper that Zhou's father also asked Aunt Zhang to look after Zhou Yanci, so he will not be alone tonight.
"Oh, by the way," Yan Xi thought of something and took out the cufflinks she had bought in Hancheng from her pocket, "I forgot to give it to you the night before last! It's a souvenir from Hancheng~"
Inside the velvety dark blue gift box are two tiny cufflinks, each engraved with an exquisite six-sided snowflake pattern.
Zhou Yanci was stunned.
Yan Xi tilted her head, "Don't you like it?"
The pair of cufflinks she bought were from a small brand in Country H and cost over ten thousand yuan. They were not as good as the expensive diamond cufflinks that Zhou Yanci usually wore, but they would not embarrass him either.
It’s not that Yan Xi didn’t think about buying something better, but she felt that since it was a souvenir, it should have some local characteristics.
"If you don't like it..."
Before Yan Xi finished speaking, Zhou Yanci had already accepted the cufflinks and asked, "Can you regret giving something away?"
"I'm just worried that you'll dislike it and not wear it!"
Zhou Yanci lowered his head and stroked his cufflinks.
"Yes."
——
Yan Xi leaves the hospital.
At the same time, a genetic testing agency.
Three hours, this is the fastest time for current DNA testing.
As soon as the results came out, the person in charge immediately handed the appraisal report to Lu Wanning.
Lu Wanning felt her hands trembling. After becoming the CEO of Lu Corporation, she had signed so many documents, often worth tens of billions. Even so, her hands were still very steady and she had never been afraid.
But at this time, her hands were shaking.
After examining so many orphans, Lu Wanning had a hunch that this was the closest she would ever get to finding her sister.
Opening the inspection document, Lu Wanning ignored the densely packed text and went straight to the final inspection result.
Test subjects: [Lu Wanning] and [Yan Xi]
Sample Type: Blood
Based on the results of this DNA test, combined with the autosomal DNA test data and mitochondrial DNA analysis...it can be determined that there is a very high possibility that [Lu Wanning] and [Yan Xi] are sisters (99.9% confidence level).
Lu Wanning almost lost her balance while holding the inspection report, and Lu Beiyu supported her in time.
"North Island..."
"Sister, I saw it."
Lu Beiyu's voice was also trembling. He was not wrong. Yan Xi was indeed his second sister.
Not long after, Mr. and Mrs. Lu arrived at the genetic testing agency.
Both of them were in their fifties, with slightly gray hair on their temples. At this time, Lu Wanning and Lu Beiyu had calmed down a lot and handed the inspection report to Lu's father and mother.
Looking at the results above, Lu's mother cried, tears welling up in her eyes.
No one cared about this child more than she did during the ten months of pregnancy. She had experienced the pain of childbirth and the torment of losing her. She had been looking for her for twenty years, but all she saw were reports that she was not related by blood.
And today, she finally waited for her.
"Mom, let's go find my sister now."
Lu Wan Ning's voice choked with sobs, "This time, we won't let her leave us!"
Lu Beiyu looked worried, "But I asked Sister Yan Xi before, and Sister Yan Xi said...she didn't want to find her family."
Mother Lu was shocked and looked incredulous. "Is she disappointed in us? Is she upset that we didn't find her earlier?"
Lu Wanning comforted her, "Xixi said that because she was afraid of another test failure, but we already have the results! She won't be disappointed again."
Father Lu also comforted her, "Yes, even if she doesn't want to come back, it's good to let her know that we have been looking for her!"
——
Yan Xi picked up Zhou Qingyu from get off work, and the two had dinner and set off back to Zhou's house.
At that time, Zhou's father was sitting on the armchair, sipping tea leisurely. The four members of the Lu family paced back and forth, anxiously waiting for Yan Xi.
"Mr. Lu, don't worry. I asked Qingyu and they are already at the door."
Mr. Zhou and Mr. Lu have known each other for many years. Although they are not close friends, they are both top wealthy families in Haicheng and have collaborated on several projects.
Even though Zhou's father said this, Lu's father was still very anxious.
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu returned to the old house.
Mother Lu suddenly stood up, and Lu Wanning supported her.
The DNA test reports of Lu Wanning and Yan Xi are already available. Lu's mother completely treats Yan Xi as her own child. The moment she saw her for the first time, her eyes were already filled with tears.
“Xixi…”
Zhou Qingyu had no idea what was going on and was so scared that she protected Yan Xi behind her.
"What's going on?!"
Father Zhou was the calmest among the five. He introduced them, "Qingyu, this is Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, and their son and daughter."
Zhou Qingyu didn't quite understand when she saw Mr. and Mrs. Lu, but when she saw Lu Beiyu, she understood instantly.
Lu Wanning showed the DNA test report to Yan Xi.
"Yan Xi, Beiyu's intuition is correct. You are the lost child of our Lu family."
No matter what, it should be a heartwarming scene for relatives who have been separated for many years to get to know each other.
Yan Xi also thought so.
What a pity.
She took the inspection report and flipped through it. "Ms. Lu, there is something wrong with this report."
Mother Lu's heart tightened instantly.
Lu Wanning also asked nervously, "How could there be a problem with the test I just did with your blood sample?"
Yan Xi flipped through the test report and turned to the front detailed page where there was a blood analysis.
Yan Xi pointed at the words above and said, "This is type B blood. I am type A. This is not my blood sample. You got it wrong."
The four members of the Lu family were shocked and speechless.
This blood...isn't Yan Xi's?
Yan Xi saw the disbelief of the Lu family and took out her own medical examination report. She had just had a medical examination yesterday and happened to have an electronic version.
"Here, you see, I have type A blood."
The physical examination report contained Yan Xi's detailed information, but Lu Wanning didn't care. Her eyes were fixed on the A.
Father Lu has type A blood and mother Lu has type B blood. It is possible that they can give birth to a child with type A blood.
However, the test report in her hand did not show that her blood type was A.
Yan Xi said with regret, "I'm sorry, I made you so happy for nothing. I guess someone got the wrong blood sample. But looking at the results, you have found your biological child, right?"
Yes, Yan Xi is right.
Even though the child was not Yan Xi, the Lu family still found their own flesh and blood.
[Host, no wonder you want to guide the Lu family to use your blood sample for testing! ]
[If it is hair or nails, it is difficult to confirm whether it is yours, but if it is blood, if the blood type is wrong, it is easy to confirm that the sample tested is not yours! ]
Yan Xi narrowed her eyes slightly. This was also the reason why she had to have a physical examination, and she had to have it at a hospital controlled by the Lu family.
We have to wait for Lu Wanning to find a private investigator to get her DNA. It's too passive. If it's just a strand of hair, how can she prove that it's not hers? Do another DNA test? What if Lu Wanning accidentally takes her for genetic testing? There are too many variables.
Instead of doing that, she would rather hand over the test sample with both hands.
The Lu family didn't say anything. They felt as if there was a huge rock pressing on their chest, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Especially Lu Beiyu, at that moment, he understood what Yan Xi said at that time.
The world is so big, and it is not easy to find blood-related relatives.
Yan Xi didn't want to test again, because she didn't want to be disappointed again after having hope. She had clearly told him a long time ago, but he let her fail again.
Looked once.
"Sister Yan Xi, I'm sorry."
Lu Beiyu lowered his head and said, "I should have respected you and shouldn't have told my elder sister... I'm sorry."
"It's OK."
Yan Xi naturally reached out and rubbed Lu Beiyu's hairy head.
This matter cannot be blamed on Lu Beiyu, it was the plot that did something wrong. Everything now is just the result of her bargaining with the plot.
She won.
But she felt that it was not the plot that lost, but the Lu family.
The Lu family apologized to Yan Xi, said goodbye to Zhou's father, and then left Zhou's house. Yan Xi was not their child, and they wanted to find the real owner of the blood sample. Compared with the previous aimless search for a needle in a haystack, the Lu family at least had a new direction.
Before leaving, Lu Wanning walked up to Yan Xi and handed her a business card.
"I'm sorry, Beiyu told me that you didn't want to look for your family, but I made the decision without your permission."
Lu Wan Ning lowered her voice. She knew Yan Xi was not her sister, but she still couldn't be stern to her. "I was rude today. If you need anything in the future, I will do my best to help you as Lu family can."
Yan Xi took the business card and said, "Okay."
After the Lu family left, Zhou Qingyu hugged Yan Xi tightly, "This family is so annoying! You said you didn't want to be tested, but they actually got your blood sample!"
Yan Xi comforted Zhou Qingyu, "It's nothing, I just want to find my relatives."
"But they can't just take your blood sample for testing!" Zhou Qingyu got angry when she thought of this. "It would be fine if they knew the test was wrong, but they made a mistake!"
The more Zhou Qingyu thought about it, the angrier she became.
Yan Xi: "Don't be angry. You'll get wrinkles if you're angry. You won't look good on camera tomorrow!"
Zhou Qingyu rubbed the corners of her eyes quickly. There were few things in the world more important than her face. It was not worth getting angry over these people.
"Let's go!" Zhou Qingyu took Yan Xi's arm, "I've ordered a spa to come to your home. Don't think about these bad things!"
"You go ahead," Yan Xi said, "I have something else to do."
"Okay," Zhou Qingyu pouted, "Call me if you need anything."
After Zhou Qingyu left, Yan Xi looked in the direction where the Lu family left, and her eyes darkened.
"Tong, we need to speed up our actions. The plot is really targeting me."
A small ball of light appeared and swirled around Yan Xi.
[But you changed the blood sample, and it is possible that the person who was tested happened to be the Lu family's little daughter? ]
"You are stupid, how could I allow such a coincidence? Only when that tube of blood is definitely not the blood of the Lu family's daughter can I be 100% sure of the plot intervention!"
"How could it be possible that Lu's little daughter is older than her mother?"
While saying this, Yan Xi looked at Aunt Zhang who walked out of Zhou Yanci's room.
Zhou's father asked Aunt Zhang to take care of Zhou Yanci. She packed Zhou Yanci's clothes and will stay with him in the hospital tonight.
[This blood... is from Aunt Zhang! ]
All the servants in the old house went for a physical examination, and Yan Xi could easily get Aunt Zhang's blood sample.
The system was confused. [Isn't that a bug in the plot? If so, are you the Lu family's little daughter? I'm confused!]
"The novel does not set who the Lu family's little daughter is. This was originally just to benefit Ye Luoyi's golden thigh, so the identity of the little daughter is blank. I am an orphan, this is my life, and my life can just fill this blank, so it was used by the plot."
"As long as I want to help Qingqing, the answer must be 'yes'."
"As to whether it is true or not, I don't know, and I don't know the plot either."
"Maybe we have to wait until Qingqing's luck reaches 100 points. Then the truth will be revealed."
