296 DNA Test
Qin Shuhua felt awkward and immediately explained, "Father, I did not..."
Not paying any attention to her, Captain Li looked at Su Qianci and his eyes became soft. "You should leave already. You must be late."
Su Qianci checked her phone and found it was 9 AM already. Spitting out her tongue, she said, "Grandpa, I'll leave now. Goodbye, mother, grandpa, Nanny Rong."
Nanny Rong was standing on the side. Hearing Su Qianci, she said, "Come home early."
"Got it!" Su Qianci quickly left.
Holding his cane, Captain Li sat down on the sofa and started to watch TV.
Qin Shuhua felt even more awkward, walking to the sofa and sitting down. "Father, Li Xiao said that he would blame himself if you would not come back with me today."
"What does that have to do with him? He did not do anything," Captain Li said without turning his head.
Hearing that, Nanny Rong felt a bit puzzled. Didn't Li Sicheng say his dad pissed Captain Li off, which was why grandpa ran away? Judging from Qin Shuhua's look, it was very likely that grandpa actually ran away because of her. However, how could Qin Shuhua get on the wrong side of Captain Li? Unbelievable! Nanny Rong moved closer and eavesdropped on their conversation.
Qin Shuhua looked guilty as she apologized, "Father, I'm sorry. It's all my fault..."
That was not sincere at all!
Captain Li did not even look at her while laughing at the TV show.
Feeling anxious, Qin Shuhua cursed the old man inwardly. It was because of him that she was blamed by Li Xiao for two days. Now she was forced to ask him to go back, but the old man just enjoyed torturing her. However, she did not dare to show any of that and said, "Father, I came here to discuss with you..."
"You just won't give up!" Captain Li threw the remote control on the coffee table and growled. "I said it would never happen. Qianqian is my grandson's wife. That Tang girl thought she could marry into my family because she is pregnant? Maybe in her dreams!"
Hearing that, Nanny Rong immediately understood the purpose of Qin Shuhua's visit. She was not inviting grandpa to go back, but trying to make Tang Mengying Li Sicheng's wife! Frowning, Nanny Rong felt impatient about Qin Shuhua, the brainless lady.
Yelled at by Captain Li, Qin Shuhua panicked, "But she is carrying Li Sicheng's child... If others know about it..."
"I know the boy that I brought up better than you do!"
"I knew that you did not want to believe this. Yesterday afternoon, I took Li Xiao's hair and did a DNA test with Tang Mengying's baby and got the result today." Qin Shuhua took out a yellow envelope from her handbag, looking wronged.
A bit skeptical, Captain Li took the test result out. The result was 72.31%! Captain Li stared, his eyes wide, thinking that he might see it wrong with his groggy old eyes. However, he looked at it again after blinking, and the number was the same. The name of the client was Li Xiao, and the report came from Kingstown First Military Hospital.
"I know what my son is like. He likes Su Qianci, so he wants to make her stay. But Tang Mengying is wronged..."
Suffocated, Captain Li felt in aching in his chest. Pressing his chest with one hand, he looked like he was in great pain...
297 Heart Attack
Startled, Nanny Rong quickly went up and exclaimed, "Captain Li!"
Qin Shuhua was terrified. As Nanny Rong waved her hands, Qin Shuhua shrank back. Although Nanny Rong looked very worried, her moves were smooth and steady. Laying Captain Li on his back, Nanny Rong saw Qin Shuhua still dumbfounded and growled, "Don't just stand there. Call an ambulance!"
"Right!" Qin Shuhua immediately got up and dialed the number.
Nanny Rong roared in broken voice, "The medicine is upstairs. Go get it!" While on the phone, Qin Shuhua heard Nanny Rong's voice and immediately stumbled upstairs, asking, "Which room?"
"The first on the left!"
Hearing Nanny Rong's cry, Qin Shuhua went inside Captain Li's bedroom. Searching all over, she did not find it.
"Did you find it? It's in the drawer!" While performing CPR, Nanny Rong exclaimed.
The phone call went through. Qin Shuhua said the address and flipped through the drawer. However, the medicine Nanny Rong spoke of was not in the first drawer. The second drawer was locked. Taking the huge glass ornament on the nightstand, Qin Shuhua hit the second drawer hard. As the ornament broke, the lock was damaged as well. Qin Shuhua opened it and did not see any medicine, but only a semitransparent folder, through which she saw the title: Divorce Contract!
Halfway through her class, Su Qianci got the message telling her that grandpa was in the hospital. Under everyone's gaze, Su Qianci walked out of the classroom and went to the hospital hurriedly. Captain Li was still in a coma. Qin Shuhua was crying out loud. Seeing Su Qianci coming, Li Sicheng immediately went to her.
Out of breath, Su Qianci grabbed Li Sicheng's sleeve and asked, "What happened? How is grandpa?"
"He had a heart attack."
Su Qianci heard that and almost teared up, exclaiming, "How did that happen? Grandpa has always been in good health. Why did he suddenly have a heart attack?"
Grabbing Su Qianci, Li Sicheng gazed at her and said, "Calm down. Grandpa will be fine. Don't overthink it."
Su Qianci's tears immediately felt. "Nothing's gonna happen, nothing..." Nothing was going to happen. In her previous lifetime, grandpa had lived long, so nothing would happen to him. Although she tried to comfort herself, Su Qianci could not stop herself from crying and being terrified. She was so scared.
In this lifetime, too much had changed. In her previous lifetime, she had been protected by grandpa, while Li Sicheng had hated her guts. So, in this lifetime, just because she had earned Li Sicheng's heart, God was taking grandpa away from her, right?
No...
"What should we do..." Su Qianci couldn't stop being emotional.
Li Sicheng took her in his arms and kept down his own fear, whispering, "Don't worry. Grandpa will be fine. He will live forever. Don't scare yourself."
Qin Shuhua was still holding the folder she found from the drawer. Looking at the couple hugging each other, she suddenly felt it was a joke. They had an agreement to divorce each other in a year. Being so sweet and mushy... were they just putting on a show for her?
288 Don't Touch Me
"Mr. Li..." Nanny Rong came over with a struggled look on her face. Eventually, she took out what she brought. "Captain Li saw this and had a heart attack. Look at it..."
Seeing Nanny Rong's look, Li Sicheng knew it was nothing good. However, seeing what was written, he still became gloomy. Su Qianci looked at it and immediately saw Li Xiao's name. Grandpa-grandchild test... 72.31%?
Su Qianci got closer and read the footnotes, feeling her heart sinking. Pinching her own arms, she looked up at Li Sicheng. Looking at him, Su Qianci felt incredulous and stepped back. Gazing at the DNA report, her heart was wrenched.
Li Sicheng still looked stern. Seeing how Su Qianci's look had changed, he tightened his jawline. Turning his head, he gazed at Qin Shuhua sharply. "You brought this?"
Shocked by her son's look, Qin Shuhua quickly bristled, "What's that attitude? Is that the way to talk to your mother?"
"Was it you?" Staring at her, Li Sicheng tightened his grip on the test report. He wished he could tear the paper up and stuff it into Qin Shuhua's mouth.
A bit frightened, Qin Shuhua said, "This is the test I did with your dad's hair and Tang Mengying's amniotic fluid. This morning, Tang Mengying brought me this test report. It says clearly that the baby she carries is your father's grandson..."
Looking at Li Sicheng and Qin Shuhua, Su Qianci suddenly felt her knees were weak. Grandpa was hardly surviving in the emergency room, and there was hard proof of the affair between Tang Mengying and Li Sicheng... She was crushed with bad news after bad news which hit her like rocks, hard and heavy. Su Qianci squatted and started to shudder.
Noticing Su Qianci's reaction, Nanny Rong came up and wanted to help her up. "Ma'am?"
Seeing what was going on, Li Sicheng quickly came over. However, before he touched her, she quickly moved away.
"Don't touch me!" Su Qianci exclaimed hysterically, with her eyes full of tears.
Feeling suffocated, Li Sicheng wanted to go up. Feeling nauseous, Su Qianci kicked him in the chest and struggled with all her limbs, exclaiming, "Don't touch me. Don't touch me..."
Don't touch me. You're so dirty...
Su Qianci's voice turned into sobs and then a wail as she collapsed in Nanny Rong's arm.
Seeing Su Qianci like this, Nanny Rong felt terrible. Her eyes wet, Nanny Rong gave Li Sicheng a stare and condemned him, "You did this to her!"
Li Sicheng pursed his lips and only said, "Trust me."
How could she trust him? The proof was right there. How could anyone trust him? Even Nanny Rong, who had brought Li Sicheng up, did not trust him.
"It wasn't me." Li Sicheng grasped the report, gritted his teeth, and squatted. "It was not me!"
Holding Nanny Rong, Su Qianci cried out loud, unwilling to look back at him at all. The door of the emergency room finally opened.
Su Qianci immediately got up and ran toward the doctor. "How did it go?"
The doctor dodged and said, "Luckily, the CPR was done in time. You need to pay attention and make sure that the patient not be exposed to violent emotions again. He needs to stay stable."
Hearing that, Su Qianci's heart was returned to its place. With a churning feeling in her chest, she blacked out and fell back...
299 That Incident Back In The Day
Nanny Rong let out a yelp, and Qin Shuhua was also startled. Li Sicheng reacted the fastest, immediately going to catch her with his arm. The sound of his knees knocking on the floor was terribly loud.
As if he had not noticed the pain in his knees, Li Sicheng caught Su Qianci and found her forehead covered in cold sweat. His heart aching, he couldn't help panicking and crying, "Doctor, Doctor!"
The baby was actually less than four months old. Seeing it grow day by day, Tang Mengying felt more and more panic.
"You really think it is Li Sicheng's child?" The voice of Rong Rui was like a nightmare, pestering her day and night.
In the beginning, she was calm. But now, she was awakened by nightmares every night. She had filled out more than half of the mom diary. Every day, she would record her feelings in it. However, if it was not Li Sicheng's child, what was the point in doing that? After some thoughts, Tang Mengying decided to go to Qin Shuhua again. No matter how difficult Captain Li was, Qin Shuhua would not abandon her, right? After all, she owed it to Tang Mengying...
When she came to Qin Shuhua, Li Xiao was not home, and Qin Shuhua was doing some flower arrangement with Liu Sao the maid. After sending Liu Sao away, Tang Mengying directly asked, "Auntie, haven't you figured it out yet?"
Qin Shuhua's smile froze as she said in a fret, "Mengying, you know that Su Qianci is Captain Li's favorite. You made such a scene at the press conference. It's not that I don't want to help you. Captain Li and Sicheng's dad are both blaming me. And Captain Li even went to stay with Sicheng because of me. If anything happens now, how can I live in this family?"
Tang Mengying felt reluctant. "But I'm carrying your grandson!"
"Mengying, listen to me. You should probably get rid of this baby. If you insist on having him, he will not have a father. You know how stubborn Sicheng is. Once he has made up his mind, it is not going to change."
"No way!" Tang Mengying gritted her teeth. "Auntie, even you are against me now. You know very well how I have treated you. Back in the day, my younger brother..."
Before she finished, Qin Shuhua's hand which was trimming the flowers shuddered and her face became pale. Qin Shuhua bristled, "That's enough!"
Tang Mengying knew that she had hit Qin Shuhua's weakness, gritted her teeth, and continued, "Auntie, I saw clearly what had happened..."
"Enough!" Qin Shuhua's face turned blue. "You are threatening me!"
"No, I'm just reminding you. Auntie, after all, I'm carrying Brother Sicheng's son. All you want to do is to keep the child in the Li family. That is a kind thing to do, isn't it?" Qin Shuhua wavered. Overjoyed, Tang Mengying continued, "Su Qianci's mother must have done something to Captain Li, otherwise, how could that kind of girl be married to Brother Sicheng?"
Qin Shuhua did indeed dislike Su Qianci as a daughter-in-law. Glancing at Tang Mengying, she asked, "Is it really Sicheng's?"
"Auntie, the polygraph belongs to the military. How can there be any mistake?" When saying that, Tang Mengying was feeling anxious. She knew that the reason the polygraph test came out clean was that she had believed that her baby was Li Sicheng's. However, if Rong Rui did not lie to her...
300 Who Was It That Night
The more she thought about it, the more unsure she felt. She had determined that the man that night was Li Sicheng. But in fact, she was pushed down in bed before she even had a chance to look at his face. Maybe, it was not Li Sicheng? Rong Rui said he had hacked the video, which meant he had seen the video. So, what was the truth?
Tang Mengying was not sure. Looking at Qin Shuhua, she gritted her teeth and said, "If you really doubt it, let's do a DNA test."
"Okay, I'll ask Li Sicheng to..."
"No, I don't want him to know." Li Sicheng was too smart to be fooled. "Let's go ourselves and do a grandfather-grandson test." The baby was only eleven weeks old. The doctor suggested against the amniocentesis and warned Tang Mengying about its risks, but Tang Mengying still insisted. She could no longer wait. If it was his baby, she would take extra care of it. But if it wasn't... Tang Mengying did not even dare to think about it and braced herself to lie down in the hospital bed. When the needle pierced her belly, her only thought was: baby, please be good...
Qin Shuhua had ordered an expedited test, and Tang Mengying went back to the hospital herself after Qin Shuhua was gone, paying extra to get the waiting time shortened to six hours.
After six hours, Tang Mengying arrived on schedule, and Mrs. Tang accompanied her.
Holding Mrs. Tang's hand, Tang Mengying felt a bit uncomfortable in her belly, anxious and hopeful about the test results. However, when Mrs. Tang got a result, she was dumbfounded. Seeing her reaction, Tang Mengying was very nervous. With her hands shaking, she took the test report, and a series of zeros left her dazed.
Mrs. Tang's expression changed from expectation to despair. Turning around, she slapped Tang Mengying hard in the face. "Didn't you say that the baby is Li Sicheng's? How could this happen?"
Tang Mengying's face quickly became swollen. Staring at the test result, she felt incredulous and muttered, "How is it possible..."
If it was not Li Sicheng that night, who could it be?
Recently, her boss had been working late in the company, which made Cheng You's work a lot easier. Since she started to work for Li Sicheng three years ago, Cheng You could count the days that she went home on schedule with one hand. Thinking that she was going to have another relaxed day, Cheng You suddenly got a call from him. Complaining inwardly, Cheng You quickly picked up. "Mr. Li."
"Go to Star City and hire twenty bodyguards and twenty nannies. Get them ready by tomorrow."
Cheng You was startled. Hearing his dangerous and dark tone, she asked nervously, "What happened?"
Li Sicheng never liked to use the help, and Star City... It appeared to be a bustling casino, but was in fact, the largest and most mysterious transaction house in Kingstown. All the bodyguards and nannies from that place were dummies. And each of them cost millions. Many noble families had a preference for people like that. But what did Li Sicheng need them for?
Instead of answering her, Li Sicheng said, "Contact Luo Zhan. Ask him to investigate into the DNA registry system of Kingstown First Military Hospital."
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing Cheng You's answer, Li Sicheng hung up and called Li Beixing. "Brother, do me a favor."
Getting a call from Li Sicheng was something rare for Li Beixing. Surprised, he asked, "Are there things that even my dear baby brother cannot fix?"
"Yes. Help me to investigate into someone–Rong Haiyue's nephew, Rong Rui."
