Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were all kinds of rumors going around. Some people believed that with Xia Zhe’s character, he would not do such a dirty deed. Some people were waiting to watch the drama and looking forward to the day Xia Zhe was sent to jail.

In any case, everyone now knew that He Mei was pregnant and that she had given birth to a baby boy. At this moment, everyone was just waiting to see if the baby was really Xia Zhe’s child.

He Ning paced back and forth in his house out of frustration. He really could not figure out who had leaked the news. Would the Xia family really do something to shoot themselves in the foot?

“We’ve investigated it thoroughly. It was Xia Xings wife who went to tell all her neighbors. After that, the other prominent families found out and then the rumor spread throughout the capital,” Huo Gao said as he walked in from outside.

“How did Xia Xings wife know about this?” He Ning questioned.

“Right… It’s the DNA test. Some time ago, Xia Xings family also went through the matter of having to acknowledge a child. Xia Wen had gone to ask him if he wanted to do the DNA test as well. I think he let it slip during their conversation,” Huo Gao said honestly.

“Xia Wen let it slip? How can you believe such a thing! He has always been the most tight-lipped!” He Ning was so angry that he smashed the vase which was on the bookshelf behind him, scaring Huo Gao so much that he did not dare to make a sound.

He Ning could not understand why Xia Wen would do that. He Ning had already intended to make He Mei’s pregnancy public, but only after confirming that the baby was Xia Zhe’s child. This way, Xia Zhe would not be able to escape. The Xia family would also be forced by public opinion to force Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei to divorce.

However, the test was not even done yet. Why was the Xia family so sure that the baby was not their family’s child? Could it be… could it be that they knew something?

“It’s really true that good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news spreads far and wide! Let’s leave this matter at that. We can’t stop people from talking. The most important thing now is to get the DNA test done properly. Have you prepared everything we need tomorrow?” He Ning asked.

“Everything is ready,” Huo Gao said.

The next morning, the Xia family sent over two tubes of Xu Lan’s blood. The

He family also sent them two tubes of the babys blood. They each found a testing center they trusted to do the test. The samples were kept frozen and they all went to witness the samples being loaded into the plane.

The current technology was not that advanced yet and the results would only be ready after 10 days. Everyone waited patiently for the results. The Xia family did not seem to be affected at all and the atmosphere at home was as blissful and warm as usual. The entire family was even planning a trip together.

He Ning was not having such an easy time. He was very anxious every day and could not think of a reason why the Xia family was behaving like this. Could it be that Qiao Mei had interfered in the process, but how would Qiao Mei know about this? Moreover, they took the samples very quickly and the person who took the samples witnessed the process with his own eyes. There could not have been any mistake.

The 10 days passed quickly. The report from the two different testing centers came out at the same time. As the Xia family expected, this child had nothing to do with them and the probability of him being related to them by blood was 0%. The He family received the same result.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Did you make a mistake! Check again! This definitely can’t be the outcome!” He Ning held the phone and shouted agitatedly down the line.

“Mr. He, our report is very accurate and there’s definitely no mistakes. It’s better for you to check the problem on your end,” the person from the testing center said.

After He Ning hung up the phone, he looked at He Mei fiercely and asked, “What exactly is going on! What exactly did you do! Why did the center say that this child is not Xia Zhe’s! Didn’t you tell me yourself that this matter is foolproof! What a piece of trash! What’s the use of having you around!”

He Mei fell to the ground in fear and said with a trembling voice, “I don’t know! I wasn’t part of that process! After the thing was brought over, I went through the procedure immediately! I don’t know what’s going on either!

Whose child is it then!”

He Ning was still unwilling to believe this fact and decided to investigate this matter thoroughly. At this moment, Xia Wen suddenly called and said happily, “Mr. He, do you want to hear some good news?”

“Don’t be so smug! The test results must be wrong and the samples used must be tainted! 1 need blood from either your father or Qiao Mei’s three children!”

He Ning said stubbornly..
