Chapter 2197: Hope Extinguished

When the man heard Wu Lingyun’s words, he immediately introduced himself.

He was from a wealthy family in Sea District. Although he could not compare to the top wealthy families in Sea District like the Wu and Xu families, he was still pretty well off.

The moment he finished introducing himself, music began to play in the banquet hall. Some men were inviting the daughters of the other wealthy families to dance with them.

The man wanted to invite Wu Lingyun to dance too, but out of politeness, he very politely bowed to Xiao Yuqi and said, “Hello, Aunt Xiao.” He knew that the person in front of him was the daughter of the Xiao family.

“Yes, hello!” Xiao Yuqi greeted the man in a friendly manner.

“Aunt Xiao, what’s wrong?” Wu Lingyun realized that Xiao Yuqi had come looking for her all of a sudden.

“Nothing. I just wanted to tell you not to drink too much cold stuff. It’s not good for girls to drink too many cold drinks.”

“Okay, got it.”

At this moment, a few daughters from several prestigious families gathered around. They were envious that the Xiao family’s daughter was treating Wu Lingyun so well. They said, “Aunt Xiao has such a good relationship with Lingyun! Those who didn’t know any better would think that the two of you were mother and daughter!”

This was the moment Xiao Yuqi had been waiting for. She smiled and said, “Aren’t we basically mother and daughter? Once Lingyun marries my Jingyan, I’ll be her mother. When I go back later, I’ll have to ask Jingyan when you two plan to get married.”

Wu Lingyun’s face turned red.

All the daughters, “…”

All the young masters, “…”

The Wu family’s family recognition banquet was very lively. On the other side of Sea District, the Xiao family’s second son was suffering and not in a lively mood at all.

Xiao Chengan’s palms were sweating. He prayed that everything would end quickly. If his father found out that he was not actually a child of the Xiao family, his life was over.

Ever since he went to get a DNA test with Old Madam Li, Xiao Chengan had been in a state of great fear.

That day, Old Madam Li had rushed to his car and blocked his way. She told him about how he was not the Xiao family’s child. He learned that he was a child of the Zhou family in Sea District. It still did not feel real to him. But when he thoughtback to how he looked completely different from his father and mother, he was forced to consider the possiblity. He pulled Old Madam Li into the car and took her to do a paternity test.

He had been the young master of the Xiao family ever since he was born. Even though he was a piece of trash, his father only had two sons, and his eldest brother died young, so his father gave him everything.

He had lived with the Xiao family for more than forty years. He never thought that he was not a true descendant of the family.

Thus, the results of the paternity test were like a bolt of lightning that struck him right in the heart and fried him on the inside and the outside. The DNA similarity between him and this Old Madam Li, who was from some poor village, was 99.99% . It was an undeniable biological mother-son relationship.

Xiao Chengan could not accept this, so he went home and had a meal with his father. He secretly got his father’s hair and did a DNA test on it. The results showed that his DNA similarity with his father was only 0.1%. They were definitely not related by blood.

Xiao Chengan felt like his world had collapsed in front of his eyes.

He was really not a child of the Xiao family!

He was just the child of this old lady, some poor old widow with no money or background!

It had not been a mistake.

Old Madam Li beamed with joy as she recounted how she had sought refuge in his Xiao family’s home. She had given birth prematurely and swapped out the Xiao family’s daughter for him. At this point, the only hope in Xiao Chengan’s heart was extinguished.
