Father Song began to simply explain the discoveries he had made and clarified.
As he finished speaking, the first to react was Mother An, "Impossible, Qinyu is my daughter, how could there be a mistake?"
If it had not been for his investigation into her attitude towards An Qinyu these years, along with what he had just witnessed of her behavior towards her daughter, Father Song might have believed in the sincerity of her statement.
"I’ve already looked into the records from when our children were born; my wife and you were in the same hospital giving birth, so the possibility of mixing up the children cannot be excluded," Father Song said, trying to remain patient.
Before they visited Gu Shengyin, they had actually sought out Mr. and Mrs. An, but as soon as the latter heard it was about the child, they immediately turned hostile and threw them out.
Mother An just said with a cold face, "Impossible!"
Her repeated uncooperativeness was infuriating, and Mother Song got so angry that she began to tremble.
"Whether it’s possible or not isn’t for you to decide with just one word. It’s obvious who Qinyu resembles; do you dare let Qinyu undergo a paternity test with us?" Mother Song burst out on the spot.
Mother An retorted, "Who knows who you people are? Should we just agree to a paternity test for our Qinyu because you say so? Let me tell you, I do not agree."
Father Song and Mother Song had clearly never seen someone so unreasonable; Mother Song was shaking with rage.
Father Song suddenly had a thought: Wouldn’t a normal person’s first reaction to what he had said be to uncover the truth? After all, if there had indeed been a mix-up, it would mean his biological daughter had been separated from him for so many years; how could he not be even a little curious or anxious? Who could assert so firmly that this situation was impossible?
Besides, if Mr. and Mrs. An treasured their daughter like a precious gem, that would be one thing, but they clearly did not like Qinyu, their youngest daughter. Why were they trying so hard to obstruct?
Could it be that there was something fishy about this affair?
In that case, the paternity test became even more crucial.
He no longer paid attention to Mother An but turned to Gu Shengyin and said, "Qinyu, you heard the conversation I just had with Mr. An. I really hope I can find my own biological daughter, as I’m afraid she’s not doing well out there. Are you willing to do this paternity test with me?"
Gu Shengyin appeared hesitant. Any sixteen-year-old young lady who faced such an incident would probably be in a complete muddle.
Before she could speak, Mother An started berating her, "An Qinyu, your father and I have provided for you all these years, when have we ever wronged you? And now you’re listening to the nonsense of two strangers and want to do some paternity test; are you trying to anger your father and me to death?"
"Why are you so fierce!" Mother Song stood up and positioned herself in front of Gu Shengyin, "She’s still just a sixteen-year-old child. Is this how you, as a mother, treat your daughter?"
Mother An rolled her eyes, "I discipline my own daughter; it’s none of your business!"
"You..." Mother Song wanted to say something else, but Gu Shengyin interrupted her.
"I’m willing!" Gu Shengyin’s voice wasn’t very loud, but it was firm.
"I’m willing to do the paternity test with you," she declared, clearly enunciating each word.
Mother An was stunned for a moment, then exploded, "An Qinyu, you ungrateful wretch, I’ve truly raised you in vain for so many years..."
"Mom." Gu Shengyin stood calmly to one side, her expression serene, "In all conscience, have you really ever treated me as your daughter over these years?"
