Xu Lan looked at the child in He Mei’s arms and then at Xia Yue. She said disdainfully, ‘You should at least find a child who looks like Xia Zhe. Look at the one in your arms, does he even look like Xia Zhe? Then take a look at my third grandson! His eyebrows and eyes look exactly like Xia Zhe! What else do you have to say?”
“This child may end up looking more like me! Who says that a child must always resemble the father!” He Mei said stubbornly.
She had already realized that this child did not look like Xia Zhe at all. Xia Zhe was a handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but the child in her arms had curved willowy eyebrows and small eyes. In fact, he also did not look like her at all. She did not know who this child looked like. Could it be a genetic mutation?
Xia Wen returned with a stack of information. He had asked Xia Fang and found out that there was indeed such technology overseas. Furthermore, it was a very comprehensive test and could accurately determine whether a child was related to any adult by blood.
“Pass the information around and browse through it,” Xia Wen said.
After reading through the information, the Xia family members all fell silent. At this moment, He Ning spoke up. “Since everyone is clear about it, let’s do this DNA test. We’re here to take some blood samples from the three children so that we can send it out for the test.’
“Nonsense! You must be dreaming! If any one of my three grandchildren is injured! I’ll skin you alive! Bastard! How dare you want to take my grandchildren’s blood! Dream on! Unless I die! Otherwise, don’t even think about taking my grandchildren’s blood!” Xu Lan pointed at He Ning agitatedly.
Xu Lan would already get anxious whenever the three children cried, but He Ning dared to say that he wanted their blood! Was this not like stabbing a knife into Xu Lan’s heart? Nothing was more important to Xu Lan than these three children. In order to protect the three children, she even dropped her usual elegant demeanor.
“It’s fine if we can’t use the children’s blood. We can use yours. You’re Xia Zhe’s biological mother. Your blood can also be used to verify if this child is really Xia Zhe’s,” He Ning said.
“Sure! It’s not a problem to take my blood! However, I’m concerned about the testing center you’re using. What if you cheat and make them say whatever you want!” Xu Lan said sharply.
“That’s right! Our family will find our own testing center! We’ll order our own
set of tests!” Xia He said quickly.
Their family was not short of money now and they could afford to pay for their own DNA test. As long as they could prove Xia Zhe’s innocence, it was worth it even if it meant selling a house!
Qiao Mei swung her legs as she sat on the rocking chair at the side, looking as if this matter had nothing to do with her. He Ning looked at Qiao Mei curiously and asked, “Aren’t you angry at all?”
“Me? I’m not angry. I believe that Xia Zhe won’t do such a thing. Even if he wants to, he won’t do it with someone like her,” Qiao Mei said mockingly as she looked at He Mei.
“Don’t talk so tough! Xia Zhe has always loved me! If you hadn’t seduced him, Xia Zhe and I would have gotten married long ago!” He Mei shouted agitatedly.
“Shut up! Don’t scare the children!” Xia Jun said as he glared at He Mei. His glare was like a dagger stabbing into He Mei’s heart. He Mei instantly felt her hair stand on end and she broke out in cold sweat.
“Since we all agree to do a DNA test, let’s go to your Xia Fangs hospital tomorrow to draw blood,” He Ning said.
“Sure,” Xia Mao said.
With that, He Ning left with He Mei and the child. He Ning still wanted Xia
Zhe to become the He family’s matrilocal son-in-law. He would not sue Xia Zhe for rape or taking liberties with a woman. As for how to deal with Xia Zhe, he would think about it after the results of the test were out.
The entire room fell silent and no one knew what to say. Qiao Mei could not bear to see everyone feeling so sad about this matter. She looked at Xia Wen and looked at him, silently asking him if they should tell the rest of the family the truth.
Xia Wen shook his head discreetly. Now was not the time, It would be best to wait until the day the test results were out before doing the clarification. This would also deal a fatal blow to the He family and make them completely give up on going against the Xia family. If she told the truth now, he was worried that they would end up alerting the enemy.
“I’ll get Aunt to find a testing center to do the DNA test for us. She often does academic research with her counterparts overseas and is more familiar with these things. By the way, since we’re going to do the test, should we ask Xia Xing if he wants to do it too?” Xia Wen looked at Xia Jun and asked.
“Yes! Let’s take this opportunity to do it! Let’s clear our family’s name!” Xia Jun said furiously..
