Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Explosive News Chapter 241: Chapter 241 Explosive News Luo Qiao spent the entire day figuring out the Luo Family, The real father of the original host, Luo Haotian, used to serve in the military in Ji City. After being discharged, he returned to Capital City to work in the mechanical factory and has become the deputy director in charge of sales.
The mother of the original host, Ning Xueling, was the head of the Finance Department at the Telecom Bureau’s local office. Apart from the stand-in who swapped identities with her, there were two pairs of twin brothers above her. No, actually, there were four brothers—her mother had given birth to two sets of twin sons.
The big brother and the second brother were also twins, but unfortunately, due to improper care, an incident occurred when they were three years old, resulting in one suffering from intellectual disability and the other physical disability. They were taken away by the grandparents of the original host and haven’t been allowed to meet since then.
In the original book, these two characters were briefly mentioned and seemed to have been placed in a sanatorium. Luo Siyan, the original host’s third brother, was now a small platoon leader in the military in Capital City at twenty years old. Siyuan, the fourth brother, worked in the water supply company.
Just as Luo Qiao was preparing to take action, Haotian also discovered a problem—a colleague of Haotian’s was severely injured in the factory workshop and needed surgery, requiring a large supply of O-type blood.
At the time, Haotian went with the donor and coincidentally encountered the nurse who had drawn Ning Xueling’s blood, because Jia Ning had been extremely delicate during her hospitalization and had even lost her temper with the nurses several times.
The nurses at the nurse station all had a strong impression of Jia Ning. This young nurse’s cousin worked as a nurse in the ward, so she would go there to hang out when she was off duty and knew a bit about Jia Ning’s situation.
Today, just as Haotian went for the blood draw, he encountered the young nurse who had helped Xueling with her blood draw last time. The nurse, for some reason, recalled the incident and suddenly made a comment, “You really care for your stepdaughter.”
Haotian was stunned for a moment and asked, “What did you just say?”
The young nurse said, “Isn’t Jia Ning, who was hospitalized last time, your stepdaughter?”
Having been a military scout, Haotian asked calmly, “How do you know I’m her stepfather?”
The young nurse smiled and said, “You are O-type blood, your wife is A-type, and your daughter is AB-type. She clearly can’t be your biological daughter. But you treat her so well, so she must be your stepdaughter. People always say ‘love me, love my dog.’ Since you care so much for your wife, you would surely treat her daughter well too.
Oh, and last time your wife wanted to donate blood to her, but unfortunately their blood types didn’t match, and in the emergency, we had to resort to the blood from the blood bank.”
After the conversation and the blood draw was finished, Haotian was left with a cluttered mind. Standing outside the operating room, he went over the nurse’s words again and again. The final conclusion was that Jia Ning was not his daughter and that Xueling also knew about it.
He recalled Xueling’s odd behavior outside the operating room that day, her hesitant speech, and her evasive manner. Everything made sense now. Initially, he had thought his wife was afraid he would blame their niece Ning Lingyu, but now it seemed she was trying to hide the blood type issue.
Luo Qiao didn’t have much time, so the next day she found two neatly-dressed women and gave each of them ten bucks to spread the word around the Mechanical Factory Residential Compound. To her surprise, it didn’t take half a day before the news that Jia Ning was not the Luo Family’s biological daughter had spread everywhere.
Moreover, people from the mechanical factory who had come to donate blood overheard the young nurse’s words while Haotian was getting his blood drawn. This served as confirmation, and the rumor was immediately proven true.
That very night, Jia Ning heard her parents arguing. She initially wanted to persuade them but ended up overhearing the news that she was not a child of the Luo Family, which scared her so much that she retreated to her room.
Thinking about the pointing fingers from the families during the day scared Jia Ning to the point where she nearly fainted from crying.
Haotian glared at Xueling: “You knew during Jia Ning’s hospitalization. Why didn’t you tell me?”
Xueling started crying: “I was also scared when I found out. I was afraid you would blame me, afraid that my in-laws would look down on me even more since our relationship had just started to get a little better recently.
I was thinking of waiting until I figured out the truth before telling you. I never expected you’d find out on your own.”
With a pitiable expression, she left Haotian too angry to even lash out.
