In just one second, all the color drained from Gu Ze’s face.
His lips trembled, and he raised his eyes to stare intently at Bao Jingyan.
He was experiencing the most intense moment of his life.
Ruanruan was actually Yunxi!
She was actually Yunxi!
He clenched the papers in his hand fiercely, his voice hoarse and unrecognizable: "Bao Jingyan, did you guess this earlier?"
Bao Jingyan leaned in, pulled the papers over, glanced through them, and remained unfazed: "Not surprised."
"Don’t you think Ruanruan resembles Aunt Gu?" Bao Jingyan retorted.
Gu Ze abruptly stood up, and just as he was about to head outside, he snatched the paternity report from Bao Jingyan’s hand.
He needs to get back immediately and tell his parents the good news.
The car raced back to the Gu Family mansion in no time.
The mansion was silent except for the maids cleaning, who saw Gu Ze and said: "Young Master is back."
Gu Ze, however, quickly headed upstairs without pausing for a moment.
Upon reaching the master bedroom door, he hesitated, fearing his mother might be overstimulated.
He quietly folded the documents and tucked them into his jacket pocket, then pushed open the door.
Inside the bedroom, Mr. Gu was comforting Mrs. Gu, and upon seeing his son return, Gu Yuanpei breathed a sigh of relief: "You’re back?"
He gave a subtle sign with his eyes, inquiring how the discussion with Bao Jingyan went.
Gu Ze took a deep breath and said softly: "Dad, I have something to tell you."
Gu Yuanpei immediately soothed his wife before stepping out.
Mrs. Gu complained: "What are you and your father keeping from me again?"
Gu Yuanpei pretended to be displeased: "What could it be? It’s definitely your son causing trouble outside, incurring debts, and now he needs his old man to resolve it."
Gu Ze touched his nose, accepting the blame.
Outside, Gu Yuanpei asked anxiously: "What about it, didn’t Bao Jingyan agree?"
He sounded slightly upset: "By finalizing this, the Su Family would also have a strong backing, wouldn’t they? Ever since Su Peiming passed away, that declining household has been nothing; the glory they’re clinging to is still the reputation earned from Su Peiming’s days."
"Not that, Dad." Gu Ze’s voice was coarse: "We were wrong."
Gu Yuanpei waved his hand dismissively, "Of course, I know we were wrong, that’s why we needed Bao Jingyan’s help, to turn the false into truth."
Gu Ze took the paternity document from his jacket pocket and placed it gently into his father’s hands.
Gu Yuanpei took it, glanced over it, and while reassuring him said: "It’s to be expected, Gu Ze, you don’t have to..."
Before he could finish his sentence, his breathing became rapid!
His face turned purple, his hands trembling.
He looked up at his son, fingers shaking fiercely, "Gu Ze, is this true?"
Gu Ze nodded, visibly moved.
Gu Yuanpei scrutinized and greedily scanned those few words countless times before finally dropping his hand and said blankly: "It’s Yunxi, she really is Yunxi! Gu Ze, Ruanruan is your biological sister."
"I know." Gu Ze’s eyes brimmed with moisture, his expression unusually tender.
