“The patriarch of this family is called Tang Yucheng. He’s 32 years old this year, and both his parents have passed away. His younger brother married into his wife’s family and is living with them. Tang Yucheng works as an odd-job worker, and his family owns a few pieces of land. His wife is a blind woman named Happy. She’s 31 years old and comes from a mediocre family…”
Xiao Bai then told him the date of their marriage registration as well as Tang Mianmian’s birth date.
“When did the blind woman get her personal identification registered?”
“Huh? I didn’t find that out.”
“Didn’t I tell you to do a thorough check? Go back and look into it. You’re not allowed to tell anyone else either.”
“Yes…”
Xiao Bai did not probe any further and returned to his own car, despite not knowing why he wanted to check up on this family.
How could it be so coincidental?
Fan Shixin could not help but begin to find it a little fishy.
If it weren’t because of how closely similar Happy’s features were to Mu Wansheng’s, he wouldn’t have noticed that they were of a similar build too. However, he could tell the difference between their voices, though he reckoned that she sounded too hoarse for it to be her natural voice.
He then recalled how much her daughter resembled Mu Wansheng and how confident she was that he would not harm her daughter when she left her in his care.
The more Fan Shixin thought about it, the more he began to suspect that Mu Wansheng was still alive. After all, her corpse had not been found yet.
Although it was a great mishap and it was very unlikely that she would be alive, he still wanted to verify it for himself. Perhaps I didn’t manage to get a closer look at the amusement park. I must take a thorough look at her face again.
It might just be a coincidence, but there’s nothing for me to lose by taking a look.
It’s only going to require a day’s time.
He had instructed Xiao Bai to bring him some incense that would knock one unconscious. In order to take a close look at her face stealthily, he obviously couldn’t alarm her family.
When the sky turned dark completely, Xiao Bai gave him a call.
Upon hearing Xiao Bai’s words, Fan Shixin could not contain his agitation. It can’t just be a coincidence, he thought.
If she’s really Wansheng, why didn’t she come to look for me? Even if she didn’t wish to see her family, she should have wanted to see me.
Or did she lose her memory?
That’s very likely.
Fan Shixin was completely perplexed. However, he could only verify his doubts after taking a closer look at her appearance.
He waited until eight o’clock in the evening before alighting.
He switched off his mobile phone and left it inside his car.
He could guess that her guide dog was probably staying in the same house as her.
Hence, he did not have any concerns when he entered the yard.
The villagers had a habit of going to bed early.
The lights were not on in the house. The family of three had clearly already turned in.
After making sure that everyone had passed out because of the incense, he entered the house effortlessly.
He guided himself using the torchlight.
Tang Yucheng was lying on the extreme right of the spacious bed while Mu Wansheng was lying on the extreme left, with Tang Mianmian in the middle.
She did not wear a headdress at night and, thus, her features could be seen clearly. Fan Shixin’s heart pounded rapidly the moment he saw her face, and he teared up instantly.
It’s her…
It’s her!
It really is her!
She’s really still alive!
At this moment, Fan Shixin was filled with a mix of emotions.
He stared at Tang Mianmian, who resembled Mu Wansheng greatly.
This child…
… Is the same one that I babysat for two months!
If I remember correctly, Xiao Bai said that she was born on the 3rd of February.
If she wasn’t born prematurely, isn’t it very likely that she was my child?
Although Fan Shixin was suspecting that Tang Mianmian was his daughter, he decided to collect hers and Mu Wansheng’s hair samples.
He then left stealthily.
Fan Shixin was greatly distracted throughout the entire journey home.
He did not expect the tables to have turned so many years after the mishap occurred.
Coincidentally, he had even managed to discover it by accident.
If he hadn’t gone to the amusement park today, he probably would have never found out about it.
After some thought, Fan Shixin decided that he can’t alarm the Mu family or inform them about this.
He planned to carry out a DNA test to verify if Tang Mianmian was his daughter first.
If she turned out not to be his biological daughter, he would find the chance to carry out another DNA test to verify if Happy was related to the Mu family.
He arrived home from the DNA test center only near midnight.
Yang Qianxue had already fallen asleep on the couch.
Upon hearing the sounds of the door, she woke up immediately and asked, “You’re home. I tried to call you but your mobile phone was switched off. Where did you go?”
“I had something to attend to. Why aren’t you asleep yet?” he asked with raised brows at the sight of her attire.
“I was waiting for you.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing, I just wanted to wait for you. It’s already midnight. Let’s go to bed,” Yang Qianxue said, smiling.
She returned to the bedroom while Fan Shixin followed closely behind.
“Feel free to speak your mind if there’s something you’d like to tell me.”
“It’s nothing.” After some thought, she said, “Well, we’ve been married for so long and it’s time we have a baby.”
“We can wait until your health gets better.”
“I went for a checkup today and the doctor said that I’ve recovered. I can prepare to conceive now.”
Fan Shixin said calmly, “Qianxue, I have something to discuss with you, but let’s do it tomorrow. It’s too late to do it now. Let’s go to bed.”
Noticing the sullen expression on his face, Yang Qianxue could not help but wonder what he was thinking.
However, she did not dwell on it since she had already gotten used to his aloofness.
Although the two of them shared the same bed, they would sleep with their backs facing each other. She initially waited to hug him to sleep tonight. However, she decided not to do so after seeing that he seemed to be out of sorts.
Fan Shixin could not sleep well at all that night, and he woke up a few times throughout his sleep.
He woke up bright and early in the morning.
His mobile phone rang when he was having breakfast.
It was a call from the DNA test center.
“Chief Fan, the results have shown that the child is biologically related to you.”
Fan Shixin’s heart sank the moment he heard the news.
He reckoned that there must be two possibilities to that.
One could be that she had lost her memory, and the other is that she hadn’t.
If she had lost her memory, he would be able to understand why she didn’t look him up.
Likewise, he could also figure out the reason if that wasn’t the case.
She probably didn’t lose her memory. Otherwise, why would she be so willing to leave the child in my care?
But…
I can’t be too sure now.
“Who called you?” Yang Qianxue asked after seeing that he had hung up.
“You don’t need to know. I actually wanted to tell you something last night but it was too late. Let’s have a good chat now. There are some things that I have to make clear to you.”
Noticing how stern he seemed, Yang Qianxue asked worriedly, “What would you like to say?”
“Let’s get a divorce.”
“What!?! Why?” Yang Qianxue exclaimed. His words were like a bolt out of the blue.
