Chapter 396: Chapter 396_1 Chapter 396: Chapter 396_1 At the time, Qiao Xiaren did not understand what Si Limo’s words meant. It was only when she reminisced about these words years later that she realized how fortunate they were to encounter each other.
Upon arrival at the hospital, Li Cuihua had already started to make a scene, refusing to step foot inside the hospital. As soon as her shrewish temperament flared up, no one could stop her.
All patients and passersby halted their steps to watch the show. Li Cuihua’s loud wailing drew even more onlookers.
“My damned daughter refuses to acknowledge me, and yet she is some big-shot celebrity, where is the justice in this world? Dragging me to the hospital to draw blood!”
As soon as Qiao Xiaren arrived at the hospital, she saw many pointing fingers. She walked past them with a dignified gaze, elegant and untouchable. Li Cuihua lunged at her and squeezed Qiao Xiaren’s wrist tightly.
With an icy tone, Qiao Xiaren made Li Cuihua shudder involuntarily. Before Li could react, a man’s hand suddenly reached out towards them, his strength so great that before she could even scream, she was dragged straight into the medical room.
Everyone watched in amazement as an emotionless man dragged Li Cuihua into the medical room, unable to budge him regardless of how much she struggled.
Qiao Xiaren followed behind them, remaining calm behind Si Limo. The large needle was inserted mercilessly into Li Cuihua’s arm to draw blood.
Qiao Xiaren elegantly sat on a nearby bench, extending her arm to offer her blood sample. From beginning to end, Li Cuihua kept swearing, but all were ignored by Qiao Xiaren.
“When can we get the results of this DNA test?”
“Sir, it typically takes about seven days.”
“Seven days? That’s too long. Is there a better option? I’d rather know right now whether they have any blood relation.”
The doctor thought for a moment before replying, “We could do it now, but it would be more painful for the two being tested. We can have the DNA test results in two hours.”
“I can accept that, as long as we can get the results quickly.” Qiao Xiaren cast a cursory glance at the two on the floor, feeling utterly frustrated. She had no desire to see these two people ever again, to avoid any unexpected issues in the future.
“There will be no problem then. We just need to draw 300ml of blood from each of you using large and small syringes. It’s nothing, at most each will pay a handling fee of ten thousand Yuan. Of course, lying in the sickbed for a few days would incur additional charges.”
The doctor solemnly spoke. The process of drawing blood had already frightened Li Cuihua and her husband. When they heard they needed to pay over ten thousand dollars plus additional hospital charges, they were rendered speechless and turned to look at Qiao Xiaren, who appeared indifferent.
“Right now, we don’t have any mother-daughter or father-daughter relationship. I won’t pay this money for you. If the test proves that I am truly your daughter, I’ll accept the reality.”
“Alright, let’s do it now.”
Si Limo stood in front of the couple. Li Qiang and his wife dared not run away. They couldn’t afford the high cost, which caused them immense distress. “No, we won’t do it!”
Si Limo chuckled lightly, the deep glint in his eyes slowly emerged, “You are in a hospital, you don’t have a say in this.”
The doctor raised an eyebrow and started to put on sterile gloves. He reassured them in a serious tone, “Don’t be scared, the pain will pass quickly. It’s just a few tens of thousands, right?”
