When the time came, whoever was the wrongdoer and whoever was in the right, for every grievance, there would a debtor. He would make the person who harmed his daughter pay the price.
“Yu’er is my daughter. As a father, I naturally love her the most in the world. Miss Zhong, if you are Yu’er’s daughter, then you are my, Nangong Renyi’s, biological granddaughter. I won’t mistreat my own granddaughter. Not only will I not mistreat her, but I’ll make up for what I owe my granddaughter.”
Zhong Qianqian’s eyes lit up when she heard that.
However, Old Master Nangong changed the topic rapidly and said, “However, this matter is a huge matter to our Nangong family. It isn’t something that we’ll agree to just because my second son claims so. Since this matter happened so suddenly, I can’t help but be suspicious although I’m happy. After all, there have been too many people who have tried to impersonate the miss and young miss of the Nangong family over the years. Therefore… I hope Miss Zhong can forgive my attitude. After all, if you’re not my Nangong family’s granddaughter, you don’t deserve to call me Grandpa, nor do you have the right to stand here and talk to me.”
Zhong Qianqian was utterly intimidated by Nangong Renyi’s aura. She was so frightened that tears were about to fall from her eyes.
“Yet, Second Uncle had already done a DNA test, right?”
“The test was just a one-sided story from him and I didn’t ask anyone to do it. I’m sorry, but I can’t trust anyone to do it, I’ll have to do it myself. I hope you can understand.”
Zhong Qianqian burst into tears.
She had already done the DNA test, yet he still refused. If this was not him rejecting her, what was?
What should she do?
Standing next to her, Nangong Qin was also slightly surprised.
His father had always believed in his own competency, but what did his father mean when he said that?
It was obvious that he did not want to acknowledge Qianqian as a member of the family!
Seeing that things did not progress as expected, Gu Mingzhe was a little disappointed. However, in his mind, he merely thought that Zhong Qianqian and Nangong Ling had a conflict and Old Master Nangong was on Nangong Ling’s side.
However, since the old master had yet to announce that he was not acknowledging Zhong Qianqian as a member of the Nangong family, there was still room for negotiation.
“Grandfather Nangong, you’re right. Bloodline-related issues are of utmost importance. We have to get to the bottom of this. Qianqian will stay at home and wait for the results from Grandfather Nangong. If you need Qianqian to draw blood or something, you have our utmost cooperation.”
Since Gu Mingzhe had been neglected by everyone from the very beginning, he had no choice but to introduce himself. “My name is Gu Mingzhe. I’m from the Gu family in Emperor District. My family lives in the peninsula’s summer resort and is very close to Second Uncle’s residence. So, if there’s anything Grandfather needs us to do, please let us know.”
Old Master Nangong did not like the looks in Zhong Qianqian’s eyes, nor did he like Gu Mingzhe’s. However, he was also someone who had been in a high position for a long time. Under normal circumstances, he would not find trouble with a person who was still all smiles.
Therefore, before everything was confirmed, Zhong Qianqian could very potentially be his granddaughter.
Thus, he nodded and said, “Alright. Don’t worry. If the outcome is the same after I investigate this personally, then Qianqian is definitely my, Nangong Renyi’s, granddaughter. I won’t ever treat her unfairly.”
When Zhong Qianqian heard this, she was certain that there would just be another blood test between them. She was not afraid at all.
After all, her DNA had already been similar to Zhong Nuannuan’s, so there was no need to worry about any blood tests.
Gu Mingzhe also understood the meaning behind this. After confirming that Grandfather Nangong was not angry at Zhong Qianqian and was just stating facts, he felt relieved.
