"I don’t mind, but how are you going to get their hair or blood?" Xu Nianhua asked in return.
Pei Yicheng calmly said, "Nianhua, as long as you agree, let me handle this matter. If it can be done, would you be willing?"
Xu Nianhua paused, nodded, and said, "Sure."
She too hoped that she was not part of the Gu Family, even if that hope was slim, but what if she really wasn’t?
Xu Nianhua felt a burst of joy at the thought of this possibility. One should always have hope; what if it actually comes true?
"Yicheng, if it can be done, let us know how much it costs. My parents will definitely give it." Xu Nian’an immediately expressed. Although he also thought the hope of not being part of the Gu Family was slim, trying wouldn’t cost much, right?
"Okay." Pei Yicheng reminded, "I need to first inquire over in Hai City, about what exactly is needed for the paternity test. It might take a while."
"No worries, we’re just giving it a try anyway." Xu Nianhua said nonchalantly.
After seeing Xu Nianhua and the others off, Pei Yicheng began preparing for this matter. Unfortunately, making contacts in Hai City was extremely inconvenient, and besides, obtaining blood or hair wasn’t that easy.
By the end of the summer vacation, Pei Yicheng still hadn’t completed it.
"Nianhua, is your home lined with nails or spikes? Such a shame to love you!" Ji Ying looked at Xu Nianhua’s joyful demeanor and couldn’t help but feel sad. Her daughter had finally been home for a month and a half, but now she was going back to school.
Though her heart was reluctant, seeing Nianhua’s appearance, smiling so happily, she couldn’t help but feel happy for her.
"Mom, no, I really don’t want to leave you all!" Xu Nianhua held Ji Ying’s hand. The thought of going back to Ningbei, not having to drink soup every day, made her so happy that she couldn’t stop smiling!
"You think I’ll believe that?"
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow at Xu Nianhua. Her eyes were crescent-shaped from smiling, saying she’d miss them, only a fool would believe.
Xu Nianhua sheepishly scratched her head, blinked, and said, "Mom, I just haven’t seen Yining and Jiayi for a long time. Jiayi and the others have been missing your crispy pork, vinegar ginger, dried bamboo shoots, beef jerky, fermented tofu, and chili sauce. You see, they must be missing me too!"
"Yining, Jiayi, Wanwan, Ding Guo, Jinling, and Chang Hui must miss me a lot!" Xu Nianhua counted on her fingers, emphasizing their names one by one.
"Alright, alright, you’re just thinking about those foods." Ji Ying shook her head, reminded, "Make sure all your things are packed, and when you take them on the train, remember to open the bag so they won’t get spoiled!" Read complete versıon only at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
The weather was especially hot now, and if not stored properly on the train ride, they’d risk spoiling before reaching Ningbei.
"Got it, thank you, Mom."
Xu Nianhua hugged Ji Ying, and only when she boarded the car did she feel a strong reluctance, saying, "Mom and Dad, don’t work too hard at home. You can never earn all the money, but your health is the most important."
"At least you have a conscience." Ji Ying was both comforted and reluctant upon hearing her daughter’s caring words.
Xu Qinghe advised, "Your mom and I are doing fine at home. You and your brother, take good care of yourselves in Ningbei Province. If anything happens, call us."
