Chapter 20 Paternity Test
"Don't hang up yet, let me finish. Your phone number was given to me by your grandmother. What happened back then was a misunderstanding." The man's voice was calm and steady, speaking slowly and deliberately, with an innate ease in his words. "You were switched at birth. The couple who found out you weren't their biological child abandoned you."

Jian Ning's curiosity fostered her growing patience, and she listened attentively.

Seeing that the call hadn't ended, the other person continued, "Anyway, Jian Ning, I am indeed your brother."

With just a few words, he seems to have effortlessly sketched out a life of misplacement.

His tone was flat, and Jian Ning couldn't detect any other emotion in his voice.

It seemed more like the other party was fulfilling a task of recognizing her as their younger sister.

Jian Ning didn't care anyway; she just asked curiously, "Why are you only coming to find me now?"

“My parents never doubted my sister’s identity from childhood until six months ago when her blood type didn’t match, and that’s when the problem was discovered. After that, the family started looking for you, and a month ago they found out about that couple and followed the clues to find you,” the man said.

Jian Ning felt little emotional. "I understand."

Man: "If it's convenient, let's do a paternity test. If the test is negative, your parents and I will pick you up and take you home."

Jian Ning was about to say: No need.

Regardless of the paternity test results, she already has a family.

The other party spoke first: "I know your current situation. I'll have my assistant transfer one million to you later. You can spend it however you like. The reason for doing the paternity test is not because we doubt your identity, but because there has been a problem. Doing a test is also to give the family an explanation."

Jian Ning realized that in order to complete the task of delivering vegetables, she would have to pay for delivery and buy packaging materials.

The money I had was all spent on seeds, and I was short of cash.

Anyway, let him do the paternity test if he wants. Whatever the result, she'll still live her life as before.

"Then let's get it tested. It's anytime, you decide."

Where are you? I'm coming to pick you up now.

Jian Ning said, "Come to Huayue Villa."

"Huayue Villa?" the man repeated, his tone somewhat doubtful, but he didn't ask any further questions. "Okay, it'll take you half an hour to get here. See you then."

After half an hour.

Jian Ning waited for two minutes on the road in front of the gate when a Mercedes-Benz G-Class stopped in front of her, and the passenger-side window rolled down.

The man had distinct features, and the gold-rimmed glasses he wore added to his refined and scholarly air. "Jian Ning, get in the car."

Jian Ning, being exceptionally patient because of the one million that had just arrived in her account, got into the car.

The car drove all the way to the hospital.

It was clearly a newly opened private hospital; it was bright and clean, and there were very few patients coming and going.

Jian Ning followed the man up to the seventh floor and saw a woman.

The woman wore bracelets on her wrists and a jade necklace; the jade was of excellent quality and quite valuable. She looked her up and down and asked, "Are you Jian Ning?"

Jian Ning felt like she wasn't her daughter, but rather a commodity being appraised.

She responded with a "Mm".

The woman grasped her shoulders, looking her over more closely: "You look better than on TV. You resemble your father more. By the way, after the paternity test, I'll take you to buy some new clothes. You're dressed too inappropriately. We'll have dinner together tonight. Weiwei will be back too. Although she's not our biological daughter, we've raised her for so many years, and we've developed a bond. When you come back, we'll tell everyone you're our adopted youngest daughter, and Weiwei will be your older sister."

A dark glint flashed in Jian Ning's eyes. She shifted her body and broke free from the woman's grasp.

"Let's do a DNA test first to confirm if you are my biological mother."

She just wanted to finish quickly and go back.

The woman understood Jian Ning's unspoken message and her expression turned somewhat displeased.

The man beside her advised, "Mom, let's not talk about this now, let's get the test done."

The hospital can only do blood tests today. Jian Ning is a little dizzy from needles, so she turned her head to the side and closed her eyes.

The woman said with a hint of disappointment, "How old are you? Are you still afraid of blood tests? You're too timid. When you come back, have your brother take you outdoors to build up your courage."

Jane clenched her teeth.

She endured so much for this million. Even after the blood was drawn and expedited, the test results still took 1-3 business days to come out.

Jian Ning was in a hurry to leave: "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Man: "Jian Ning, I'll take you there."

Woman: "You child, why are you so petty and uncouth? You're not good enough for formal occasions. I..."

Jian Ning walked quickly, as if being chased by a raging flood, and replied, "No need, I'll take a taxi back."

The itching sensation all over Jian Ning's body finally disappeared when she got into a taxi.

Grandma often nags her, pointing out her flaws, but she doesn't seem to mind.

But today felt different; every word that woman said sounded harsh to her.

When I was little, I watched "Romantic Princess" and I used to fantasize about being a rich man's forgotten daughter.

Now that my dream has suddenly become a reality, I don't feel anything special.

She is a human being, and as a human being, she has emotions and expectations.

She learned that it wasn't her biological parents who had abandoned her.

She also wonders what her biological parents and brother will be like.

Jian Ning simply didn't dare to express this expectation, so she repeatedly adjusted herself to not care so much.

Now it seems that we really don't need to care too much.
-
In the evening, we had a hot pot dinner.

Jian Ning told him everything that had happened that day.

"What? You're saying your biological parents have come looking for you?" Zhang Nan asked, his face full of shock as he ate some pea shoots from the tomato hot pot.

Jian Ning nodded, "Yes, I went for a paternity test today, and I'd guess it's pretty close to true."

"Your life is like something out of a TV drama. You were switched at birth, and 25 years later, your biological family comes knocking on your door, and your older brother gives you a million dollars. Just how wealthy must your family be in Beicheng?" Zhang Nan exclaimed, slapping his thigh. "I'll ask my dad tonight if I'm really his biological son. Maybe I'll even dream about it."

Jian Ning was amused, and her previously gloomy mood completely dissipated.

Long Wu, who was eating nearby, curiously peeked out and asked, "Hey, which restaurant is it? I haven't heard anything about it."

Zhang Nan also looked at her with wide, curious eyes.

Jian Ning was silent for two seconds before slowly speaking: "If I said I didn't know, would you believe me?"

Zhang Nan: "..."

Long Wu: "What about your brother? What's his name? Maybe I know him."

Jian Ning shook her head: "I didn't ask."

Zhang Nan frowned, sensing something was wrong: "Didn't you ask him if he was an idiot and didn't even introduce himself? What kind of person is he? Is he even my real brother?"

Jian Ning could sense that neither her so-called brother nor her mother were very enthusiastic towards her.

It's like losing a kitten or puppy, picking it up again, looking at it, washing it, and thinking you can keep it.

Seeing Zhang Nan's angry face, Jian Ning comforted him, "Don't be angry. There's another one at home. Maybe they don't need another sister like me."

Zhang Nan was even angrier: "Wasn't that a fake baby that was switched at birth? You're my biological child, how can you be the same?"

Long Wu chewed on the pea shoots in her mouth, deep in thought, then suddenly looked up, her eyes lighting up.

Zhang Nan thought she had guessed something. "Xiao Wu, you guessed which brainless family discovered such a big thing after 25 years."

Long Wu said seriously, "No, I just found these pea shoots to be quite tender and delicious. Ningning, can I pick some to take with me when I leave tomorrow morning?"

“Sure, there’s plenty in the field,” Jian Ning said with a smile, not forgetting her new mission to enhance the sect’s prestige: “Take some more vegetables with you, and while you’re at it, help me promote my new Fengqi Live account.”

Zhang Nan propped his head up with his hand, looking speechless: "You greedy girl, I thought you had guessed which one it was."
