Chapter 271 Destined to Be a Family
Ji Wen asked Fang Xiaonuan, “Hey! Why did your husband beat me up last night?”
Fang Xiaonuan did not answer his question. Instead, she calmly said, “Xiaowen, Siyu is your aunt.”
Ji Wen scoffed. “Do you think I’m an idiot?”
Fang Xiaonuan looked at the “idiot” on the bed. He was clearly not very smart!
!!
“Alright, you idiot. You can rest. I’ve already found a nurse for you.” She picked up her bag and left the ward.
Ji Lingchen only returned home at nine. He had a social event to attend that day, so he returned home a little later.
Fang Xiaonuan had been waiting for him for a long time.
Ji Lingchen thought that his little wife was anxious to sleep with him. He hugged his little wife and was about to kiss her when Fang Xiaonuan pushed him away. She then took out a folded piece of paper from her pocket and said calmly, “Hubby, I’ve found Xiaoyu.”
The lust in Ji Lingchen’s eyes dissipated as he looked at his wife. The bedroom fell silent. He let go of his wife’s soft body and asked, “You did a DNA test?”
“Yes,” Fang Xiaonuan replied calmly, “I’m the only one who could get a strand of her hair.”
She told her husband about how she had gotten her hair and how she had waited in the hospital for three hours. Then, she sincerely apologized to her husband, “Hubby, I’m sorry. I didn’t believe you before. The test proves that Liu Siyu and Ji wen are indeed related by blood.”
Ji Lingchen’s mind buzzed when he heard that. He could not believe what he just heard. He had been searching for Ji Xiaoyu for fifteen years, and now that he had found her, he was at a loss. The test results that his wife handed to him felt heavy in his grasp. He slowly unfolded the folded report and read it. He was in shock, like he had been pierced by something. He was stunned and could not move.
Fang Xiaonuan had not expected things to turn out like this. When she received the report in the afternoon, she was in the same state as her husband. Her mind was blank and she was beyond shocked.
“Hubby, you can give your mother an explanation now.”
Ji Lingchen’s eyes reddened as he looked at the piece of paper in his hand.
This was the first time Fang Xiaonuan had seen her husband in such a state. Seeing his reddened eyes, her heart ached as well. She opened her arms and hugged her husband.
That night, Ji Lingchen brought his wife to his mother’s memorial tablet. Fang Xiaonuan had never paid her respects to a deceased person before, so she did not know what to do. She did as her husband told her. There was only one cushion, so Ji Lingchen knelt on the ground and placed the cushion under Fang Xiaonuan’s knees.
Fang Xiaonuan looked at her mother-in-law’s memorial tablet. It was very dark. She would normally be afraid, but with her husband by her side, she was not afraid at all.
There was a basin in front of the mat. Ji Lingchen opened the test report, lit it, and threw it into the basin to burn it.
“Hubby, Dad and Brother haven’t even looked at it, and you’ve already burned it?”
Ji Lingchen looked at his wife and asked, “Xiaonuan, are you afraid of Mom’s photo?”
Fang Xiaonuan raised her head and looked at the woman in the photo who had a gentle smile on her face. She shook her head. “Maybe mom knows that I’m her daughter-in-law, so she can’t bear to make me afraid.”
“Then, can you accompany me here tonight?”
Fang Xiaonuan nodded her head solemnly. She could not bear to let her husband stay in such a dark place for the entire night.
The report had been burnt to ashes.
Ji Lingchen held his wife’s hand and said to the memorial tablet, “Mom, we found Xiaoyu. it’s all because of your daughter-in-law.”
Fang Xiaonuan shook her head. She did not dare to take the credit. “Mom, the credit isn’t mine. It belongs to my husband who hasn’t given up all these years. I didn’t believe him at first and even quarreled with him. But in the end, I realized that my husband was right.”
“But without Xiaonuan, I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet Xiaoyu.” Ji Lingchen looked at his obedient little wife who was kneeling beside him. “If it weren’t for Xiaonuan, I wouldn’t have gotten the test report so quickly.”
Fang Xiaonuan felt a little guilty. If she had listened to her husband earlier and had been less stubborn, she might have gotten this test report a long time ago.
She looked up at the memorial tablet and said, “Mother, you don’t have to worry too much about Xiaoyu. She has not been suffering. Her adoptive parents and the Liu family’s oldest son are very good people. They really dote on Xiaoyu. I’ve known Xiaoyu since middle school, and Xiaowen too.”
Thinking of the unlucky child lying in the hospital, Fang Xiaonuan added, “I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing for Xiaowen. He only has two good friends. I became his aunt, and Xiaoyu ended up his aunt too.”
He had become the nephew of his two best friends. This was probably fate. They were destined to be a family.
