It was the day after.
It was yet another bright and sunny day.
The sky was filled with fluffy white clouds and the sun rose high above from the east.
The Xu family and Mr. Jin headed to the DNA test center early in the morning.
They got the test done twice at two separate prestigious DNA test centers. Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
Under normal circumstances, the DNA results would only be ready a week after the test was carried out.
However, in order to obtain the results as soon as possible, the Xu family had offered to pay ten times the original price and requested to collect the results within a few hours' time.
They did not wish to wait a second longer to get to the bottom of the matter.
As the saying goes, 90% of the problems in this world can be solved with money.
However, some also say that the remaining 10% can be solved with even more money.
From eight o'clock in the morning to almost noontime, they waited patiently for the results.
The results were released by both test centers at about the same time.
Military Commander Xu and Madam Xu were devastated and disappointed after collecting the first set of results.
The results showed that Xu Youran and Military Commander Xu were not biologically related and that Xu Youran and Mr. Jin were confirmed to be father and daughter.
Mr. Jin was saddened to see the results.
On the other hand, Madam Xu burst into tears and began bawling loudly, unlike her usual calm and composed self who rarely lost control of her emotions in public.
The second set of results from the other test center came off as another blow to Madam Xu.
”Why is this the case? Didn't the test we carried out back then prove that she's our biological daughter? Why are the results different now!?! Why!?!” Madam Xu cried in agony.
Although Military Commander Xu was upset as well, he remained much calmer than his bawling wife, whom he constantly tried to placate. After all, he was a man who had experienced all sorts of incidents and thus had better control of his emotions.
Madam Xu finally got a grip on herself after hearing her husband's comforting words.
Mr. Jin was ill at ease after receiving the answer.
”I initially thought you guys adopted her. After our conversation yesterday, I again began to wonder if I had made a mistake. But it seems like… it's real now.”
Military Commander Xu did not have much to comment and instead said, ”Whatever it is, Youran is already married now. If you want to acknowledge her, please have a talk with her yourself. She has nothing to do with us now.”
He then waved Mr. Jin goodbye and led Madam Xu to the car while holding her hand.
Along the journey home, Madam Xu sobbed continuously throughout as she could not seem to verbalize her thoughts.
After pondering for a long while, she turned to face her husband and said, ”I thought we could finally end our regrets after having found Youran. Turns out it's not the case. Hubby, we can't give up on finding our daughter. We have to keep searching for her.”
Military Commander Xu nodded and said, ”We must find her, but it's already been so many years. I doubt it'd be easy.”
”Do we really have to chase Youran out of the family?”
”Yes. How well have we been treating her all these years? Given her mean-spirited character, she's bound to wreak even more havoc. Since she's not our biological daughter and is already married anyway, we should just cut off all ties with her, lest we create unnecessary trouble for ourselves.”
”But I can't bear to leave her… I've been treating her as my own throughout all these years. Shall we forget about cutting ties and continue treating her as our daughter? It'll be enough to know that she isn't. If she finds out that she isn't our biological daughter, she might just behave herself and stop getting herself into trouble. Why must we really cut all ties with her?” Madam Xu said with a sigh.
Military Commander Xu remained silent, feeling flabbergasted about the fact that the daughter he had been raising for years turned out not to be his flesh and blood.
”Just how did the DNA test go wrong? There usually wouldn't be mistakes in such stringent and precise tests,” Military Commander Xu said to his wife.
