Chapter 194 - 194: Lu Zhi, You Hooligan
Lu Zhi looked up and inched closer to her face.
Jiang Yining’s face was extremely red. She used one hand to cover his mouth.
“Lu Zhi, you hooligan.”
He actually wanted to kiss her!
Don’t even think about it!
Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a faint smile.
Then, he kissed her palm.
Jiang Yining was instantly petrified, and her body temperature rose.
Before she could react, Lu Zhi quickly let go of her and retreated to a safe distance.
“Alright, don’t laze in bed. Go and have breakfast.”
He walked as fast as he could.
Jiang Yining came back to her senses, picked up a pillow, and threw it at him.
“Lu Zhi, just you wait!”
A crisp roar echoed in the forest, startling countless birds.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi returned to the city.
Ye Xiaoxi called her and told her that she had decided to do a DNA test with the Yuan family.
Jiang Yining asked repeatedly, “Are you sure you want to do this? Xiaoxi, once you do a paternity test with the Yuan family, you’ll never be able to break away from the relationship.”
“Yes, I’m sure.”
She had been alone for twenty years and did not want to continue like this.
With the Yuan family backing her up, at least she wouldn’t be trampled to death like an ant.
If she encountered any problems in the future, she would not drag Yining down anymore.
As for the fight between the rich families, she would try her best to adapt.
Jiang Yining respected her decision. “Alright, I’ll inform the Yuan family now.”
“Yes.”
She hung up the phone.
Jiang Yining conveyed Ye Xiaoxi’s wishes to Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi called Elder Yuan personally.
When Old Master Yuan heard that they had found his granddaughter, he was very excited.
He expressed that he wanted to meet her now.
He could also settle the DNA test.
Jiang Yining asked for Ye Xiaoxi’s opinion.
Ye Xiaoxi agreed.
Hence, in the evening, Jiang Yining, Lu Zhi, Elder Yuan, and Ye Xiaoxi arranged to meet at the cafe next to the People’s Hospital.
Lu Zhi and Jiang Yining arrived at the cafe early after picking Ye Xiaoxi up.
“Yining, what kind of person is Elder Yuan?” Ye Xiaoxi asked nervously. Is he stem?”
“A little, but overall, he’s easy to get along with. Don’t be nervous.”
Jiang Yining held her hand.
Ye Xiaoxi nodded.
Lu Zhi sat silently at the side.
Another half an hour passed.
Old Master Yuan finally arrived. Under the escort of his bodyguards, he entered the second floor of the cafe.
The moment he saw Ye Xiaoxi, he rushed forward excitedly without waiting for Jiang Yining’s introduction. He grabbed her arm and said, “It’s her, it must be her… Her eyes and brows are so similar to Qiaoqiao’s, so it was definitely her.”
“My child. Grandpa had a hard time finding for you.”
Old Master Yuan was very forceful.
Ye Xiaoxi felt a little pain from the pinch. Furthermore, this was the first time she had met him.
To be treated so warmly by an unfamiliar elder.
It was really awkward.
Ye Xiaoxi looked to the side and begged Jiang Yining for help.
Jiang Yining stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Xiaoxi. “Mr. Yuan, you should sit down and talk.”
Lu Zhi also said clearly, “Elder Yuan. You’re not familiar with Ye Xiaoxi yet. Take your time and don’t scare her.”
“Yes, you’re right. I was too abrupt.”
Old Master Yuan calmed down and let go of Ye Xiaoxi. His expression returned to normal.
However, he was still staring at Ye Xiaoxi passionately.
Even without a DNA test, he was certain that she was Qiaoqiao’s descendant.
Genes couldn’t fool people.
“Xiaoxi, tell Elder Yuan about your grandmother and mother.” Jiang Yining said to ease the atmosphere.
Ye Xiaoxi was a little nervous. She clasped her hands together and stammered out a few words.
Elder Yuan found out that Zhang Qiaoqiao and her daughter had suffered a lot.
This old man, who had experienced many storms, had tears in his eyes.
“I let her down. If only 1 had come back earlier and taken her away. The three of you wouldn’t have suffered so much.”
“Where is your grandmother now?” Elder Yuan asked after a pause. And your mother… How are they?”
“They are all dead.”
Ye Xiaoxi mumbled.
Her grandmother was indeed dead, and her mother was still alive, but in her eyes, she was no different from a dead person.
“What…”
Old Master Yuan’s face was filled with shock.
“My grandmother died of cancer, and my mother… She was addicted to drugs, her body was ruined, and she passed away. I’m the only one in my family now.” Ye Xiaoxi lowered her head.
Old Master Yuan’s tears fell.
He had been looking for Qiaoqiao for decades, but he did not expect that he would not be able to see her for the last time.
She would leave him forever.
“Are you alright?”
Ye Xiaoxi asked worriedly.
“I’m fine.”
Old Master Yuan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a tissue and asked her where her grandmother was buried and how she lived without her elders.
Ye Xiaoxi answered them one by one.
“My mother left me with a pile of debts. Thanks to Yining’s help, I’m safe and sound.”
Old Master Yuan looked at Jiang Yining gratefully. “Thank you for taking care of Xiaoxi for me.”
“Xiaoxi is my friend, so it’s only right for me to do so.”
Jiang Yining said politely.
Seeing that it was about time, Lu Zhi suggested, “The People’s Hospital is just next door. Let’s go and do the test.”
Old Master Yuan said, “Xiaoxi, I’ve already decided that you’re my granddaughter just by looking at you. However, 1 have no choice but to do the DNA test. I have to give the entire Yuan family an explanation.”
He spoke very seriously.
He was afraid that Ye Xiaoxi would hold a grudge against him.
“That’s what you should do.” Ye Xiaoxi waved her hand. “Actually, I also want to know if I’m really your granddaughter. If so, then I won’t be alone in this world. 1’11 have family like everyone else.”
When she said this, Old Master Yuan’s thoughts were filled with her again.
Elder Yuan said, “Don’t worry. No matter what the results are, I’ll take good care of you.”
“Yes.”
Ye Xiaoxi nodded.
The four of them went to the hospital together.
Due to the importance of the matter, they could not leak the news before they confirmed it.
Therefore, Old Master Yuan had already ordered people to clear out the hospital’s DNA testing department in advance.
Elder Yuan and Ye Xiaoxi went in to do a DNA test.
Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi were waiting outside.
Not long after, Jiang Yining’s phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at it and realized it was Xiao Yeyu.
Jiang Yining walked to the side and answered the call. “Hello.”
“Yining, is Xiaoxi with you? I brought her some fruits, but there was no one at home,” Xiao Yeyu said gently.
“Yes, she’s playing with me outside,” Jiang Yining replied.
“Where are you guys? I want to go over too.”
“We’re almost done playing. Xiaoxi will be home soon.”
Jiang Yining didn’t want Xiao Yeyu to know that Ye Xiaoxi might be a member of the Yuan family.
Naturally, she refused to let her come over.
Xiao Yeyu replied, “Alright then. i’ll leave the fruits on the doorknob for Xiaoxi. Remember to tell her.”
“Alright.”
Jiang Yining hung up and returned to Lu Zhi’s side.
Leaning against the wall, she stared at the signboard outside the DNA testing department in a daze.
On the other end of the phone, Xiao Yeyu heard the beeping sound and clenched her fists.
She had sent someone to follow Ye Xiaoxi for the past few days.
Tonight, Ye Xiaoxi got into Jiang Yining’s car and left in a hurry.
It had been so long, and she had yet to return.
She must have met with the Yuan family.
There was not much time left for her brother. She had to think of a way to get her brother to build a relationship with Ye Xiaoxi as soon as possible..
