Chapter 65 The Sister in the True and False Jin Wen (6)
Money makes the world go round, and in less than five hours, Leyan received the appraisal report.
She flipped directly to the last page, where she saw a line of expert opinion.
Based on available data and DNA analysis results, a blood relationship between Zhao Leyan and Zhao Weizhou has been ruled out.
In other words, her brother is not her brother.
Le Yan sat in the chair, somewhat bewildered, her fingers tightly gripping the psychiatric report.
How could such a dramatic thing as switching babies happen right in front of her?
Thinking of her younger brother still lying in the hospital bed, and then thinking of her real younger brother who was nowhere to be found, Le Yan felt a headache coming on.
She fumbled for her phone, intending to call her mother immediately, but then stopped herself.
As soon as we stopped, a phone call came in.
The caller ID showed "Dad".
After glancing through the door at the few people in the ward, Le Yan tiptoed to the stairwell before answering the phone.
"Sweetie, are you alright? Where's your little brother? Is he okay?"
Some anxious voices came from the other side, and Le Yan could also hear hurried footsteps.
She replied softly, "Dad, I'm fine, and my brother is fine too. He's awake."
"That's good, that's good." Zhao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. God knows how worried he was after hearing about the accident.
He glanced at his watch and hurriedly said, "Sweetie, wait for me at the hospital. Daddy has already left the airport and will be there soon."
"...Dad, there's something I want to tell you." Holding the paternity test report in her hand, Le Yan hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth directly.
She said, "Dad, my brother isn't my biological brother."
"What! You know..." Zhao Cheng's expression changed, but he tried to remain calm. "My dear, do you know what you're saying?"
“Dad, Zhouzhou’s blood type is B, while you and Mom are both blood type A. It’s impossible for you to have a child with blood type B.”
Le Yan briefly explained the cause and effect, and then said, "I did a DNA test, and Zhouzhou and I are not related by blood. One of us is not a child of the Zhao family."
Or perhaps, neither of the two.
Le Yan leaned against the wall, tilted her head slightly, and swallowed the rest of her words.
If neither sibling is actually a child of the Zhao family, then this whole thing is just too far-fetched.
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Cheng fell silent.
His mind was filled with Le Yan's words, and his brows furrowed. "No blood relation?"
After a moment of contemplation, he said calmly, "Sweetie, wait a moment, Daddy will be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Le Yan slid down the wall, feeling somewhat exhausted.
"Yan Yan?"
Suddenly hearing someone calling her, Le Yan quickly folded the report, stuffed it into her coat pocket, and with her expression returning to normal, went out from the stairwell.
"Brother Xiaoci, I'm here."
Waving to Meng Cili, who had come out to find her, Le Yan lifted her foot and walked towards him.
"What's wrong? Are you still worried about Weizhou?"
Meng Cili was observant, and even though Le Yan had managed to control her expression, he keenly sensed that something was amiss.
With some concern, he helped Leyan up, handed her the hot water in his hand, and said gently, "Don't worry, he just woke up, didn't he? He's just fallen asleep again now."
"And the doctor also said that he's fine."
Le Yan nodded, took a sip of saliva, and then said, "Dad just called me and said he'll be here soon."
"Brother Xiao Ci, why don't you and Xiao Yu go back to the hotel to rest first? I'll stay here and keep watch."
It was hard on Meng Cili and Ning Zhiyu, who stayed with her at the hospital the whole time. Le Yan was also worried about tiring them out.
Meng Cili gently shook his head, "It's alright, we'll stay with you. We're worried about you being alone."
He wasn't that concerned about Zhao Weizhou; he stayed at the hospital mainly to keep Le Yan company.
He didn't get along with that kid Zhao Weizhou, and if it weren't for Le Yan, he would have left long ago.
Zhao Cheng arrived at the hospital very quickly.
As soon as he arrived, Leyan breathed a sigh of relief. "Dad, Zhouzhou is resting. Let's keep our voices down."
She wanted to take Zhao Cheng to see Zhao Weizhou, but Zhao Cheng led her in the opposite direction, saying, "Since Xiaozhou is alright, let's talk about business first."
Zhao Cheng nodded slightly to Meng Cili and Ning Zhiyu, who had been watching them, and then led Le Yan to an empty ward nearby.
He closed the door, his eyes slightly lowered, and asked Leyan in a low voice, "Sweetie, show your paternity test report to Daddy."
Le Yan quickly took it out of her pocket. Even though it was folded into a mess, it didn't prevent Zhao Cheng from seeing the result clearly.
Looking at the expert opinion, Zhao Cheng's face darkened. He closed his eyes slightly, paused for a moment, and then looked at Le Yan, patting her hair reassuringly, and said, "It's alright, Dad will have someone check it out and see what's going on."
"By the way, did you tell your mother?"
Le Yan shook her head. "No, my mom texted me this morning saying she's going on a business trip abroad and it'll be a 25-hour flight. I haven't had a chance to tell her yet."
Zhao Cheng's eyes flickered, and he felt a slight sense of relief. "Then let's not tell her yet. Let's wait until Dad has investigated the whole matter before telling her."
"And Xiao Zhou, keep this from him for now."
With her father around, Le Yan naturally listened to him in everything, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep it from Zhou Zhou."
Holding the paternity test reports of Le Yan and Zhao Weizhou in his hand, Zhao Cheng was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
When he visited Zhao Weizhou, he repeated what Le Yan had done, plucked a hair with its follicle still attached, and sent it for testing along with his own hair.
With expedited processing, the identification report came out quickly, confirming that he and Zhao Weizhou were not biological father and son.
This made Zhao Cheng's eyes darken, his expression turning cold. "Investigate! I need to know the whole truth!"
With a single order, even matters from fifteen years ago would be thoroughly investigated.
Zhao Cheng received the answer in just two days.
"Sir, when Miss Gao brought the child to the hospital, there happened to be a disturbance at the hospital, and the child was switched at birth during that chaos."
There's no conspiracy theory involved; it was just bad luck that the baby was switched at birth.
The results were so surprising that even the housekeeper in charge of the investigation found them somewhat laughable.
Zhao Cheng frowned and asked him, "Where's the child? Has he been found?"
The butler quickly replied, "Found it, it's in H City."
Life is full of coincidences. The other baby boy who was switched at birth grew up in H City.
Looking at the documents in his hand, Zhao Cheng glanced at them briefly and then handed them to the butler, saying, "Take these to Miss and act according to her wishes."
"Yes."
Inside the ward, Le Yan was feeding Zhao Weizhou water, saying, "Drink slowly, be careful not to choke."
Zhao Weizhou's gaze was fixed on Le Yan's face, and he was suspicious. What was wrong with his sister these past two days? Why did she seem so strange?
He blinked and asked, "Sister, are you angry?"
"angry?"
Le Yan shook her head, amused. "Why would I be angry?"
"Why are you acting so strange today? I feel like you have something on your mind."
Zhao Weizhou spoke his mind, even including Meng Cili and Ning Zhiyu beside him, "If you don't believe me, ask Brother Cili and Xiaoyu, they must have felt it too."
The two people who were named smiled slightly and said in unison, "No, Xiao Zhou, you're overthinking it."
Le Yan clearly didn't want to tell them; they could investigate privately. Who would ask directly like that kid Zhao Weizhou?
so stupid!
Meng Cili and Ning Zhiyu glared coldly at the patients on the bed, refusing to cooperate.
Le Yan smiled and shrugged, "Well, they all say no, so you shouldn't think too much about it; it's not good for your recovery."
"But ... ... "
Zhao Weizhou looked aggrieved and was about to say something when he heard a knock on the door. Looking up, he saw it was the butler.
"Miss, the master needs to speak with you."
