Qu Wan’s brain was scrambled as she mumbled incredulously. “You want to do another paternity test? Didn’t we already do one? Ling Tianxin is not your father’s biological daughter. Why do you want to do it again?”
Ling Tianya knew Qu Wan would say something like that so her face didn’t change. “It is just a simple test, it won’t take much time. Auntie, you know that I have always been suspicious of the first test results. Doing it again will finally put me at ease. If it proves that Tianxin is really not my father’s daughter, it will only be me that I have misunderstood you for all these many years, won’t it?” Ling Tianya held Qu Wan’s hand and smiled. “You also said that you wanted our family to be harmonious. Tianxin has always been a knot in my heart, and only by untying it can we reach real harmony.”
Then, Ling Tianya let go of Qu Wan’s hand and got in the car, leaving Qu Wan to look dumbfounded. Ling Tianya smiled. “Auntie, I gottta go.”
The car started and gradually drove off from the Ling mansion. Qu Wan still stood still at the gate. The smile on Ling Tianya’s face gradually disappeared. In the rear-view mirror, she watched as the image of Qu Wan become smaller and smaller.
Qu Wan didn’t know how long she stood at the gate. The blood in her body seemed to have stopped flowing, until a servant came out and called her. She jumped, and then rushed back inside the house with a pale face.
How could it be? He clearly said that no one would ever find Ling Tianxin. How was she still found?
Qu Wan took her phone and ran to a corner of the yard. She dialed a number and the call was quickly connected. A man’s deep voice answered, “What’s the matter?”
“What’s the matter? There is a huge matter!” Qu Wan calmed herself. “Ling Tianxin was found by Ruan Zeyan! Ling Tianya said that she wants to do another paternity test. What should we do now?”
“What?” The person was apparently shocked too. “How could she be found? Are you sure that Ling Tianya was not lying to you?”
“Lying to me?” Qu Wan paused.
“Was Ling Tianya only talking to you, or was it in front of everybody in the Ling Family?”
“To me, to me alone.” After hearing those words, Qu Wan started to relax a little.
The other person thought about it for a few seconds and said, “She said it to you alone, instead of in front of everyone, which proves that she was bluffing. You have to remain calm at the moment and do not show any emotions. I will arrange for people to go there and check it out. Don’t act rashly until I have confirmed that this is real!”
“Okay, I got it.”
“I feel that it’s very likely that Ling Tianya was bluffing. She was trying to see your reaction so she could play it off, so you have to stay calm!”
The person was right. Qu Wan stopped being as nervous and anxious as earlier and her voice cooled down. “I was almost tricked by that bitch. Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
Qu Wan hung up the phone and walked back out from the corner. The jitters from earlier had disappeared from her face, and she was back to the usual gentle and considerate Qu Wan. She entered the house with a giant smile.
Ling Tianya was driving. It was only a small warning that she gave Qu Wan today. She had wasted a lot of time on unimportant things, and it was time to handle real business.
She knew what Qu Wan was capable of and that she would not easily give herself away. It was okay though, time would tell. There had to be a slow process to reach a desperate state. Only when someone was truly desperate, would she do irrational things for any little bit of hope.
Ling Tianya looked at the time and it was already eight o’clock in the evening. Ruan Zeyan had not contacted her all day.
The woman frowned and decided to call him on the phone.
“Hello?” The call was connected, but what came out was a woman’s sweet voice.
