If one has to say the way Duan Yarong looked at Han Yichen in the beginning contained a trace of hesitation and subtlety, then this time she did not hide her motherly care and concern for her child at all.
When Han Yichen met Duan Yarong’s eyes, he felt as if his heart had been suddenly stabbed by something. That strange feeling from just now emerged again from the bottom of his heart, he became at a loss for words, and that did not always happen to him.
For as long as he could remember, he had always thought he had been unwanted and he was abandoned by his parents.
But now, he was told that his parents did not abandon him. On the contrary, they really cared for him, it was just that they had never known of his existence since the beginning.
Compared to Duan Yarong’s excitement and worries, Zhao Shunrong and Zhao Youlin were thinking about other things.
That nurse was involved in a car accident with her husband shortly after she returned home, and the man who transferred funds to her account shared the same fate as her.
Whether it was coincidental or inevitable, deliberate or man-orchestrated, such a coincidence was really hard not to pass by without people having doubts about them.
The old master glanced at Duan Yarong, signaling her not to get too worked up and listen to himself continue the story.
“After that car accident, although the child was lucky to have survived, the family of that nurse thought that the child was the source of misfortune and that he had caused the death of the couple. So after that, no one was willing to raise the child, who had only just been born a short time ago. In the end, the child was then left by them in the orphanage.”
After Duan Yarong heard that, although she did not stand up like before, her hands that were holding Zhao Shunrong were subconsciously tightened a lot.
Her tears, which she had taken great efforts to stop them from falling down again, once again rolled down her cheeks. However, as she did not want her son to see it, she could only bury herself in her husband’s arms, hiding her vulnerability at the moment.
Zhao Shunrong’s feelings at this moment could be considered complicated as well. Back then the doctor had told him that Duan Yarong’s body was no longer suitable for childbirth. If she got pregnant again, it could endanger her life. Zhao Shunrong had been mentally prepared himself that it was impossible for him to have his own offspring in this life.
So when the old master asked him and Duan Yarong to adopt Zhao Youlin, he did not think too much about it.
He knew that Duan Yarong liked children and she was guilty of not being able to give birth to a child for him. Since Zhao Youlin’s presence had relieved Duan Yarong’s guilt and pain in this regard, he was willing to accept her as a member of his family.
But today, he suddenly found out that he had a child, a child of him and Duan Yarong. However, because of their carelessness, he had been left alone out there and suffered a lot.
“After the child was sent to the orphanage, he stayed in the orphanage until he became an adult. After he left the orphanage, he paid for his own tuition fees when he studied and started his own business, and he even established a name for himself today. And that child…” The old master turned his head and gave a profound look at Han Yichen, as he said with certainty, “Is you.”
Han Yichen shifted his gaze away from Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong. He turned to the old master and Zhao Youlin. He paused for a moment and said, “I have a question.”
“Shoot.”
“How did you guys get suspicious of my relationship with…them?”
Zhao Youlin’s gaze went back and forth between Han Yichen, Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong’s faces a few times and said meaningfully, “Han, didn’t you find that your face actually resembles my parents’ faces a lot, especially the outline and features? Only that, your outline and eyes are more like my father, but the lips and nose are more like my mother.”
Hearing Zhao Youlin’s words, the couple stop sighing and focus on their sadness. They carefully studied their son, who they had just got back. They did not notice it before, but now that they studied his face, they found that his face did resemble theirs.
Han Yichen frowned, not quite agreeing, “That’s the only reason?”
“Of course it was not just that. It’s just that you asked how I started to get suspected. Just because you and my parents look alike, so I had some vague speculations back then. However, that was just a speculation, so I did not tell my parents about it at first, instead, I had my men to investigate you first.”
When Xiao Jingyao, who was standing on the side, heard this, his eyes flickered a little. No wonder when Zhao Youlin asked him to investigate Han Yichen, she had specifically ordered him not to inform Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong for now.
So at that time, she had already suspected Han Yichen’s identity?
Zhao Youlin deliberately paused here and smiled faintly at Han Yichen. She said, “Although it was just a speculation, it was a hopeful start to a possibility, wasn’t it?”
Zhao Youlin had always been a decisive person. Since she had already had a suspicion in her mind, she had to get to the bottom of it.
“It turns out that my suspicions were indeed correct, and I have found something strong enough to serve as the strongest evidence.”
Han Yichen’s eyes flickered slightly, knowing that Zhao Youlin was referring to the two DNA test results that were still laying on the table.
“I am curious. How did you manage to get this stuff without me realizing it?”
If he remembered correctly, although he had been staying inside Zhao Youlin’s store for more than three months, the number of times he saw Zhao Youlin on a regular basis could be counted with two hands.
In just a few meetings, how exactly did Zhao Youlin manage to do the paternity test for himself and these two people without him realizing it?
Especially, from the reaction of these two people just now, they were also kept in the dark from the beginning to the end in this matter.
Han Yichen’s question drew the attention of Duan Yarong and her husband as well.
Under the inquiring gaze of the two elders, Zhao Youlin coughed a bit awkwardly and said in a low voice, “It’s not difficult at all to get all the samples for the test. Have you forgotten that you were injured once just a short while ago for protecting Yueyue?”
Han Yichen was stunned, finally remembering the accident that happened in Zhao Youlin’s store a month ago. Was this woman already suspicious of his identity at that time?
Upon hearing that, Duan Yarong got a little nervous. “Injured? This…This child was injured? How did he get injured? Which part was injured? Was it serious?”
“Pfft …” Zhao Youlin could not help but laugh when she heard what Duan Yarong said. She said comfortingly, “Mom, do not be nervous. Brother just accidentally got scraped by something sharp and bled a little. But at that time the bleeding was stopped quickly, and now the wound has probably already scabbed.”
Though Duan Yarong still gazed at Han Yichen with concern. After getting Han Yichen’s slightly uncomfortable nod, she was finally relieved and did not say anything else.
“Ahem, as for the sample taken from dad and mom, I asked grandpa to help out.” At that moment, Zhao Youlin, in an undignified manner, put the blame on the old master.
