Chapter 398: Unexpected news, forget about it.
After finishing her work, Andy returned to the lobby of the research institute. From a distance, she saw Chen An and Ye Zhenzhen seemed to be arguing. She frowned slightly and quickened her pace to walk over.
"What are you talking about? It's so lively." Andy's voice rang out, interrupting the "confrontation" between Chen An and Ye Zhenzhen.
When Ye Zhenzhen saw Andy, she showed an awkward smile on her face and quickly explained, "Nothing, we just chatted for a few minutes. Miss Andy, don't worry, the results will be out soon. I'll go take a look."
"It's okay, no rush." Andy looked strange. She had just heard the two of them bickering. ?
Ye Zhenzhen left, and Andy sat next to Chen An. He really wanted to ask what happened just now, but he didn't know whether he should speak.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Isn't it uncomfortable to hold it in?" Chen An asked speechlessly. These women are really...
"I heard you were arguing? What happened?" Andy's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity and confusion as he looked at Chen An, waiting for his answer.
"She came over to chat with me, but I ignored her, so she deliberately provoked me, saying that I was your subordinate and had a crush on you." Chen An looked dissatisfied.
Andy couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "She's quite interesting, but this doesn't have to make you guys quarrel, does it?"
"It's just a bickering. Anyway, I'm bored and just killing time." Chen An explained casually.
Andy did not talk about this topic anymore, but put forward his own ideas, “Xiao Chen, what do you think I should do to deal with my brother’s problem?”
"It seems that you have adjusted your mindset quickly. You deserve to be someone who can do well on Wall Street." Chen An looked at Andy with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"What else can we do if we don't adjust?" Andy sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"I thought about it seriously. Maybe it's my fault that Xiao Ming became like this today. My leaving and abandoning him may have caused great trauma to his heart. Otherwise, why did he fall ill at a very young age, but I am still fine until now?" Andy's eyes revealed a trace of self-blame and guilt.
Chen An agreed with Andy's statement. Losing his only relative was a great shock and hurt to Xiao Ming at that age.
Of course, in essence, Andy is also a victim. It was the helplessness she experienced as a child that forced her to constantly work hard to become stronger.
"We have no way to trace and restore the essence of the matter. As for what to do in the future, I have only one suggestion: cultivate feelings. Apart from the blood relationship, you and your brother are no different from strangers. This is what you need to do most." Chen An's eyes reminded Andy seriously.
"Do you want me to take him in and take care of him?" Andy instinctively resisted this answer. After all, she was used to being alone, and suddenly it became two people. She didn't think she could adapt.
"Otherwise, you have to understand that although theoretically, as his sister, you can become his guardian and obtain custody, domestic law generally requires the parties concerned to be consulted.
If there is not even a little intimacy between you, it is very likely that this will not pass." Although there are not so many troubles at the moment, who knows what will happen in the future, it is better to be safe.
Andy looked at Chen An with burning eyes. This man was really thoughtful. She hadn't even thought about these things yet, but he had already considered them for her. This feeling made her feel at ease and she enjoyed it very much.
"Hey, you women, why are you all like this? Don't you know that it's very impolite to look at a man like that?" Chen An noticed Andy's eyes and pretended to remind him with disgust.
Andy lowered his head awkwardly to hide his embarrassment. Did he look like a crazy fan just now?
Ye Zhenzhen came out of the laboratory not long after, holding a report in her hand with a strange look on her face.
"Dr. Zhenzhen, are there any results?" Andy walked forward and asked with concern, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Take a look for yourself." Ye Zhenzhen handed the report to Andy, her expression still a little complicated.
Andy glanced at the report and asked in confusion, "What does a 27 percent DNA similarity mean?"
Ye Zhenzhen glanced at Chen An, raised her chin slightly, and said with a hint of caution in her eyes: "Ms. Andy, doesn't he need to avoid this matter?"
"Hmm?" Andy frowned and looked at Ye Zhenzhen, thinking to himself, why is this woman so petty? Is she deliberately trying to be mean in front of me just because she had a quarrel with Chen An?
"No need, Xiao Chen is my best friend and I can trust him completely." Andy said firmly.
Friend? Ye Zhenzhen was a little surprised. Did she guess wrong before?
However, she herself was not petty, she just felt that some of the secrets of the general leaders were a double-edged sword, which could easily hurt Chen An, so she reminded him. Now that it was not the case, she had nothing to worry about.
"It's like this, Miss Andy. Basically, half of a person's genes come from the father and half from the mother. Of course, there are slight differences due to gender, but the difference is not very big." Ye Zhenzhen's eyes revealed a hint of professionalism. She raised her chin slightly and explained seriously.
"For brothers and sisters with the same father and mother, the degree of DNA similarity is basically around 50%." Ye Zhenzhen looked at Andy meaningfully.
Andy opened his eyes slightly, and asked with some disappointment and surprise: "So I have no blood relationship with him?"
"Ms. Andy, don't worry. Listen to me." Ye Zhenzhen soothed her and continued to explain, "And for half-siblings, the DNA similarity is about 25%, so you and the tester are indeed related by blood."
Andy's eyes revealed a trace of shock and confusion. He felt that his brain was not enough. Xiao Ming was his brother, but he did not have the same father and mother. In other words, he might have a stepfather? Or a stepmother?
Chen An reached out and grabbed Andy, who was staggering a little.
Seeing Andy's reaction, Ye Zhenzhen asked with concern: "Miss Andy, are you okay?"
"I, I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Andy tried to calm himself down and shook his head slightly.
Chen An took out the car keys and handed them to Ye Zhenzhen, saying, "Help me get a bottle of water. I have one in the trunk."
"No need to go to so much trouble. I have mineral water in my office. Wait a moment, I'll get it for you." Ye Zhenzhen said as she was about to leave.
"She only drinks one brand." Chen An quickly stopped Ye Zhenzhen.
Ye Zhenzhen was stunned, especially the look in Chen An's eyes at this moment, which revealed heartache in his gentleness. She became even more curious about the relationship between the two. At the same time, she couldn't help but complain in her heart, the little bastard turned out to have this side of him?
He took the key and left.
