“Shaobai, you scared her.”

In the room, a man dressed in a white shirt lifted the girl’s eyelid and concluded.

He had a gentle smile on his face, totally different from Shen Shaobai.

At the side, Shi Mei was worriedly applying medicine to and dressing the wound on the young master’s neck. Upon hearing Ning Yuan’s words, a look of unhappiness filled her eyes and she glared at the girl lying on the bed.

“Young Master Ning, she is only startled. Young Master is seriously injured!”

There was a gaping wound on Shen Shaobai’s neck. If more strength was applied, it could have punctured an artery and that would be life-threatening.

Ning Yuan was clear of Shi Mei’s protectiveness of Shaobai. Not in a hurry to explain, he covered the girl on the bed with a quilt. While doing so, his eyes were fixed on the girl’s face. There was a ripple in his eyes, and they overflowed with gentleness and reminiscence.

Very quickly, he walked towards Shen Shaobai and said, “Shaobai, only her facial contour is similar to that of Tong Tong.”

Upon hearing the two words “Tong Tong”, Shen Shaobai was first stunned, then an unclear emotion flashed past his eyes.

Very quickly, as if trying to avoid the topic, he replied coldly, “She is not related to the reason why I am keeping Xia Weiai here.”

Ning Yuan did not refute his answer. Instead, he replied with a smile. Since they grew up together, he knew him well enough to guess whether Tong Hua was the reason or not.

However, he thought about the background investigation conducted.

Ning Yuan restrained his expression and looked serious. “Shaobai, what I mean is… Have you ever wondered why she resembles Tong Tong?”

Shi Mei looked at him with unhappiness. Tong Hua left a scar on the young master’s heart. It was as if a knife was stabbed into his heart every time someone mentioned it. She did not want to see the young master in pain.

However, Shen Shaobai could clearly hear the hidden meaning behind his close friend’s words and he maintained his silence.

“I receive a DNA report not long ago. The results showed that Xia Weiai and the CEO of the Xia Corporation, Xia Tianze, who is also her father, are biologically unrelated.”

Ning Yuan passed over some documents as he spoke.

He knew that Shaobai could not see, so he passed it to Shi Mei, who looked shocked after looking at the papers. However, she was perplexed as to why he looked into the biological relations between Xia Weiai and her father.

As expected, Ning Yuan brought up a topic from the past. “Shaobai, do you remember Uncle Tong, Tong Tong’s father? He was involved in a scandal when he was young and it almost led to a divorce between him and Aunt Tong. According to the news, that woman was already pregnant and wanted to use her child as a stepping stone. However, she was later nowhere to be found. Whatever happened during that time cannot be checked clearly anymore, and both of us only heard it from Tong Tong in the past…”

At this point in time, his intentions were clear.

Shi Mei was shocked. She did not know about that incident. However, if it really did happen like described… Wasn’t there a possibility that Xia Weiai and Tong Hua were from the same father but different mothers? In other words, she might be Tong Hua’s younger sister!

This news came too suddenly and was hard to accept.

“When I was still in medical school, I learned about human genetics while analyzing the human anatomy. Her resemblance to Tong Tong might have been a coincidence, but the weird thing is that she looks similar to Uncle Tong too. That’s why I ran a DNA test! We can come to a conclusion after we compare her DNA to Uncle Tong’s.”

There was a long silence.

Shen Shaobai was also shocked by this.

If Xia Weiai was really Tong Hua’s younger sister… what should he do?

Upon thinking about the possibility, he felt anxious and irritated. “This is up to you, it has nothing to do with me.”

After he finished speaking, he signaled for Shi Mei to guide him out of the room.
