Chapter 684 - A Test-tube Baby (2/2)

Ning Wanxiu continued, “Your Honor, the truth of the matter is that Su Xiaobei isn’t even Bai Yuquan’s daughter. They don’t share the same blood. My client had already clearly told him as much in Xiahai City, but he did not believe her and forcefully took Su Xiaobei away.

“You scum! What are you running your mouth about? How can Su Xiaobei not be a Bai?”

Bai Guoxiong stood up abruptly to lash out at Ning Wanxiu. He had spent many days doting on this little doll, only to be told that she was not his great-granddaughter? It was difficult for him to accept this.

Thud! Thud!

The presiding judge banged his gavel several times and coughed drily as he said, “Please remain silent, Mr Bai. You’re in court.”

Bai Ying and the rest urged him to do the same, and it took some time before they calmed Bai Guoxiong.

Xiao Luo, on the other hand, frowned deeply, because this mention of Changjiang Hospital dredged up some pretty bad memories for him. He had been in his junior year when Zhang Dashan came to him with a promotional poster from the hospital, urging him to do something shocking—to perfect the human genome project.

He had heard of the human genome project. Started in 1990, the project aimed to decode the approximated 25,000 genomes in the human body. At the same time, it would map out the blueprint of human genomes. This way, they would be able to control and completely cure genetic diseases, and they could even help amputees grow new limbs. It was a noble project that could allow for all the organs in the human body to regrow. One could even go as far as to say that Jurassic Park would no longer just be a science fiction story.

And what they had to do was this: donate their sperms.

Xiao Luo had rejected it immediately. The process of sperm donation involved an activity that would have to be kept secret. He was a pretty conservative man, and so he would not to engage in such activities. Zhang Dashan, on the other hand, was different. He said that there were a lot of hot nurses in Changjiang Hospital, and his lecherous mind was thinking about how those hot nurses could help him.

In the end, he succumbed to Zhang Dashan’s pestering. He could not say that he had succumbed to Zhang Dashan’s persuasion. More accurately, he could not resist the temptation of money. As long as he passed the physical examination and donated his sperm, what awaited him was a 2,000-Yuan cash prize. Besides, this would be kept secret forever. At that time, his father had been building a farm, which was technically an entrepreneurial investment. The family expenses were too high, and so he only had an allowance of 500 Yuan each month. Because of this, RMB2,000 was not a small sum to him.

And after that, there was no “after that”. He went to Changjiang Hospital with Zhang Dashan where they both passed the physical assessment, and they became anonymous sperm donors.

This was a dark past he did not want to remember. Were it not for the fact that they had mentioned Changjiang Hospital and test-tube babies, Xiao Luo would not have thought about this at all.

Why this coincidence?

Why did Su Xiaobei call him daddy the moment she saw him?

Could it be that Su Li’s sister had not used Bai Yuquan’s sperm when she accepted the in vitro fertilization treatments? Had she used sperm provided by Changjiang Hospital?

Xiao Luo’s mind was in a mess, because all of this was bewildering him. If Changjiang Hospital had, indeed, used the sperm he donated, then would that not make Su Xiaobei his biological daughter?

“It can’t be…”

No matter how emotionally stable he was, Xiao Luo could no longer keep his cool at this moment.

It was too unbelievable. It was too surprising. It was…too much of a plot twist.
