Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Parental Testing
Qiao Xi’s eyes were sore and her vision blurred with tears.
She spoke with a hoarse voice, “Good, I also have… something to say to you.” Her voice was still hoarse, rough like sandpaper.
“You… go first.”
She looked at him and slowly began to speak.
Huo Xingzhou took a deep breath and laid out the cruel, disgusting truth before her, “Wang Lang was just an accomplice.”
“He took the two hundred thousand from Xiang Huai and set the fire intentionally. Perhaps Xiang Huai wanted to teach you a lesson, or maybe he wanted your life. The Imperial Capital is filled with prominent families, give me some time.
Once the Tianyuan Group has completely entered the Imperial Capital, I will make Xiang Huai pay.”
Xiang Huai?
Qiao Xi clenched her lips, the corners of her eyes reddening.
Waves of hatred were stirred in her heart, and she struggled to suppress the sobs that kept spilling from her throat.
Xiang Huai.
Could this have something to do with Xu Xingluo?
They truly see human life as nothing.
She forced her tears back fiercely.
With a hoarse voice, she leaned on his shoulder and said through gritted teeth, “I understand.”
She stored the hatred deep inside her heart, letting it ferment into a knot over time. One day, she would personally send Xiang Huai to a dead end.
“Mr. Huo, I want to take Grandma back to the countryside tomorrow.”
Her voice trembled, “For burial.”
“Hmm, Old Chen has gone to arrange the cremation of the body. We will go back together to bury Grandma.” He had never intended to let Qiao Xi face all this alone.
He wanted to stay by her side through the most difficult time in her life.
Qiao Xi knew that refusing would be futile, so she simply agreed with a ‘yes’.
Huo Xingzhou’s voice was low and gentle as he said, “Qiao Xi, you have to believe… we will always stand by you.”
Qiao Xi managed a faint smile.
Before, she would have believed.
But now, she was doubtful.
“Okay.”
She obediently responded.
…
At Hai City Hospital, in the director’s office.
Xu Yunye wolfed down a breakfast and, turning to Xu Xiuyuan who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, said, “My bank cards are all frozen, they are serious this time. I don’t know what tricks Xu Xingluo has pulled…”
He held his face in his hands and asked Xu Xiuyuan, “Do I look like someone from the Xu Family?”
He and Xu Xingluo were twins but didn’t resemble each other much.
Xu Xingluo looked like Xu Guangyao, while he himself barely resembled Liu Huimin and did not inherit Xu Guangyao’s appearance.
From the Liu Family, he looked a bit like his late maternal grandfather.
Xiuyuan, massaging his Taiyang Acupoint, put down the document he was holding and asked, “What are you fussing about now? Xingluo is willful and overbearing; just indulge her a little.”
He took a bank card from the drawer and handed it to him, “Use this for now.”
“Thanks for your generosity, big brother.”
Xu Yunye took a large gulp of water from his cup. After hesitating, he asked again, “Big brother, am I really their biological child? Did you see me come out of mom’s stomach with your own eyes when you were little?”
He really felt like he was superfluous.
Xu Xiuyuan frowned and said, “You and Xingluo are both mom’s biological children. When you were carried out of the delivery room, I saw a blue birthmark on your butt.”
That couldn’t be faked.
Xu Yunye scrunched up his face dissatisfied, then his eagle eyes caught sight of a personal file on the office desk, with a one-inch photo that stood out.
It was Qiao Xi’s.
Xu Yunye quickly walked over, picked it up, and looked at the birthday section.
Her birthday was on September 1st.
It was a month later than his and Xu Xingluo’s, which was on August 1st.
Next month would be the twins’ birthday.
It doesn’t match up.
Xu Xiuyuan snatched the resume from his hand and said, “What are you looking at?”
“Just curious,” Xu Yunye prevaricated, “Why are you looking at Doctor Qiao’s resume? Are you thinking about rehiring her at Hai City Hospital?”
“She may not be willing to come back.”
Xu Yunye sneered, “She definitely won’t come back. Because she hates seeing any of us from the Xu family.”
On hearing this, Xu Xiuyuan felt a twinge of discomfort.
Leaning on his crutch, Xu Yunye said hesitantly, “I should go now. I’ll be staying at the hotel during this time and won’t return home.”
“Be careful, and come to the hospital for regular check-ups.”
“Got it.”
His body was actually not seriously damaged.
Xu Yunye reached the door and stopped. A struggle filled his eyes, and it felt as though his blood had surged to the top of his head when he turned and called out, “Brother.”
Xu Xiuyuan looked at him with confusion.
Xu Yunye’s heart pounded wildly, the thought had troubled him for a very long time.
It was like a crazy hint from fate.
And it was like a heart knot formed by countless thoughts in his head.
Even though he knew it was unlikely, he still wanted to see it with his own eyes and let himself give up completely. Not to make excuses because he couldn’t get parental affection.
Not to find a reason for his inexplicable fondness for Qiao Xi.
He wouldn’t actually fall for a married woman, would he?
Otherwise, how could he explain his inability to control his desire to be close to her? It seemed that he hadn’t overstepped any boundaries, he just wanted to be by her side.
To sit quietly and do nothing, as if he had done such a thing a long, long time ago.

Without an answer, he felt he might go mad.
“Brother, do me a favor.”
Xu Yunye took out two transparent little bags from his pocket, each containing strands of hair. He handed them to Xu Xiuyuan, saying, “Help me with a paternity test, see if there is any kinship.”
He had looked it up; as long as there was kinship, a paternity test could be done.
Xu Xiuyuan’s expression grew grave as he looked at him, “What kind of mischief have you been up to outside?”
Biting his thin lip, Xu Yunye said, “I… ”
He couldn’t possibly voice his suspicions, could he? How embarrassing.
Without any evidence, based solely on his conjecture.
Believing that he was not a child of the Xu family, that he was found, or even to take a paternity test with Qiao Xi, who was seemingly unrelated.
It was ridiculous!
Xu Yunye always felt if he said it out loud, Xu Xiuyuan would give him a proper scolding.
Xu Xiuyuan, seeing his inarticulate expression, guessed that he might have gotten someone pregnant outside and now wanted to check if the child was his.
He was always unreliable.
“I understand, I’ll send it off for testing,” Xu Xiuyuan said.
Xu Yunye let out a sigh of relief, “Then I’m off. I’ll be staying at a hotel during this time; please let me know when the results come in, this… it’s really important to me.”
This was the only key to unlock his heart knot.
“Be careful with the fracture. The paternity test will take about three to five days for results, and I…” Xu Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment, feeling the issue should be kept quiet, then said, “I’ll find a private agency for you.”
“Thank you, Big Brother.”
Xu Yunye walked out carefully, supporting himself against the wall.
He suddenly remembered Qiao Xi’s piece of yellow jade, but after thinking it over, he decided not to mention it to Xu Xiuyuan in the end.
Xu Xiuyuan watched him walk away, then looked down at the strands of hair in the two small transparent bags and shook his head.
He picked up his phone and called Liu Huimin.
“Mom, Yunye may have caused some trouble outside. You might need to step in and handle it later,” he said.
Liu Huimin favored Xu Xingluo, but she genuinely cared a lot for Xu Yunye, often stopped only by Xu Guangyao.
“Don’t tell Dad about this,” Xu Xiuyuan warned, “It’s probably an accidental child outside; once the paternity test results are in, I’ll let you know.”
This kind of thing needed a precautionary measure to be taken.
Just in case “that woman” really did turn up at the Xu family.
