The drawer was left ajar, revealing the edge of some papers.
Zhuang Rouhui, as if possessed, pulled the drawer open and took out the papers inside.
It was a DNA test report.
Zhuang Rouhui had seen something similar before, a couple in her circle had a shotgun marriage and gave birth to a boy afterward.
The husband had always suspected that the child was not his, and insisted his wife undergo paternity testing.
It was a piece of paper much one, and the results confirmed that the boy truly was his offspring.
That paper had become the woman’s ’trump card’; proudly using it, she made numerous demands.
People were curious at the time, and the woman purposely brought out the report to show it around.
That’s why Zhuang Rouhui recognized it immediately.
However, the names on this report were all pseudonyms, and Zhuang Rouhui had no idea who was being tested.
Could it have been left here by Li Fuhong?
No, that’s not right, he had a son.
Otherwise, the two old-timers in the Li Family wouldn’t have accepted that woman.
Yet on this report, the gender column was marked female for both parties involved.
Zhuang Rouhui suddenly recalled the expression on her son’s face at the hospital today.
It was precisely when she mentioned that girl from outside.
Could he know something?
With that thought, Zhuang Rouhui immediately folded the paper and put it in her bag.
She called her driver and asked him to take her to the hospital.
The winter break was drawing to a close, and Yue Qingqing and others were returning to Zhuancheng.
Before leaving, their home had been cleaned until it was spotless.
Zhang Ying had frozen various foods brought back from Daye Village in the refrigerator and was discussing some business matters for the new year with Yue Jiandong.
Yue Qingqing returned to her bedroom to make phone calls, experiencing the convenience of having a mobile phone through the multitude of New Year’s calls these past few days.
Besides close classmates, several senior brothers had also called to send their greetings.
The senior brothers had all prepared New Year gifts for Yue Qingqing.
The second senior brother, naturally the most lavish, had directly prepared a villa, just waiting for when Yue Qingqing was ready to transfer the property.
The third senior brother and the youngest senior brother, both of substantial wealth, prepared different gifts due to their personalities.
Gong Qiming had arranged a Cheongsam for his junior sister.
"Of course, you should wear new clothes for the New Year; it’s a shame I can’t give it to you now. The costume designer we hired for our crew this time is a big name in the industry, internationally awarded and with collaborations with many haute couture brands. It took a lot of persuasion to get the designer to make a custom outfit for you. We used your measurements from the last time we met. I’ll send it to your school once the semester starts. If it doesn’t fit, you can send it back, and I’ll have the designer alter it."
Upon hearing the words "took a lot of persuasion," Yue Qingqing couldn’t help but feel a surge of sympathy for the costume designer.
Of course, she also appreciated her youngest senior brother’s kindness.
Yan Sinian’s gift seemed even more considerate, "I’ve brought back some local specialties for you from my travels; all are time-honored brands with family traditions."
Yue Qingqing couldn’t help but swallow hard upon hearing this.
"When should I come over to pick them up?"
Yan Sinian laughed, his voice rippling like the serene surface of a spring pond.
"Anytime; I’m at home right now."
Yue Qingqing cheered softly and immediately prepared to head over.
After all, it was not far between the two places, just over a ten-minute walk.
Zhang Ying, knowing her daughter was going to a friend’s house to play, didn’t ask much.
She just told Yue Qingqing to bring a box of fruit and milk, as it wasn’t polite to show up empty-handed.
"Come back before dinner, and if they invite you to stay for a meal, call your mom in advance."
"Got it," Yue Qingqing hugged Zhang Ying’s arm, mother and daughter getting affectionate for a moment.
Just like when she was little.
Zhang Ying helped her daughter carry the things to the door before handing them over, and as she watched her elegant figure walking away, she couldn’t help but feel sentimental.
Even though her daughter had grown up, she still seemed just like a little girl in her heart.
Well, it wasn’t just Yue Jiandong who couldn’t bear to part with the child; she herself was reluctant to see her daughter married off too soon.
Zhang Ying felt that she had indeed been lucky in her life.
Though the first half had been somewhat bitter, the latter half was like bathing in honey.
What she was most grateful for was bringing home that tiny infant from the hospital.
Qingqing was the greatest pride of her life.
