Ye Junli and Ye Jinchen watched as Xu Wanwan's eyes were just reddened, not as excited as they had imagined, and they didn't understand what Xu Wanwan was thinking.
Xu Wanwan handed the phone back, wiped away her tears and smiled: "Actually, I've always known about my origins. It's just that I was afraid Mengmeng would be upset, and I really like how she is now. I was afraid that the sudden change in her origins would cause her mental stress and burden, so I didn't want to think about these things."
"But not wanting to recognize my parents, that's definitely not true. I've been lacking my parents' love since I was very young and have been lonely for so long. Who doesn't want to have a complete family?"
When Ye Junli heard what Xu Wanwan said, he felt a twinge of bitterness in his heart. He had seen Wanwan's file - when she was very young, her parents went out to work and earn money, rarely coming home. She grew up eating everywhere, and at the age of 13, she became an orphan. To grow up in such an environment, yet still have such a good personality and be so outstanding as to be admitted to Hai City University, it's clear how much effort she must have put in.
But how did she find out about her origins? Ye Junli wondered and asked.
Xu Wanwan scratched her head, finding this question a bit of a headache, and weakly asked, "If I said I was reborn, would you believe me?"
Ye Junli: ???
Another Ye Jinchen in his mind shouted, "Believe, believe! I want to be reborn too! But this guy won't let me!"
Ye Jinchen: !!!Shut up!
Ye Jinchen noticed Xu Wanwan's awkwardness and quickly said, "I understand what you mean, were you killed by someone in your previous life, and then reborn with resentment in this life?"
No wonder Wanwan initially had animosity towards Mengmeng, this was the reason.
Xu Wanwan's eyes widened, a bit suspicious that Ye Jinchen had also read some rebirth novels like Ye Jinmeng.
Ye Junli was also shocked, recalling how his wife had been obsessed with an online drama series recently called 'Reborn as the Wolf Dog CEO's Little Sweetheart', and the female lead seemed to be acting out this very premise. It had even manifested in reality!
Ye Jinchen rubbed his nose, "There are many things in this world that science cannot explain, just like how I was dead before but came back to life, it's roughly the same."
Originally, Ye Junli was still a bit incredulous, but with Ye Jinchen's explanation, he suddenly understood, marveling at how the world has no shortage of wonders.
Xu Wanwan didn't expect that her rebirth would be so inexplicably accepted by them...
Ye Junli walked up and patted her shoulder, kindly saying, "Don't worry, you're a child of the Ye family, and naturally, we won't let you remain adrift. I believe Mengmeng will also understand. From now on, both of you are my children, and I won't treat any of you differently."
Xu Wanwan was a bit touched, feeling fatherly love so close for the first time.
She pulled out a few strands of hair from her head and handed them to Ye Junli. "Okay, then let's do a paternity test with you. But regarding Aunt Gu..."
Ye Junli took the hair and smiled: "Later, I'll find an opportunity to explain it to her. Don't worry about this."
"What's there not to worry about?" Ye Jinmeng suddenly walked in from outside the ward, startling everyone in the room.
"Dad, there was nothing in the trunk of your car. I searched inside and out, but couldn't find the fruit you mentioned. Did you forget to take it when you bought it?"
Ye Junli smiled awkwardly: "Ah? Really? Then I must have forgotten to take it..."
What fruit was there? When he came, he was just thinking about talking to Ye Jinchen and didn't think about anything else...
Although Ye Jinmeng found it a bit strange, she didn't think too much of it and just pouted, "Then Dad, remember to go back and get it from the store later. Can't be wasting money like that."
Ye Junli: "...Okay, Dad understands."
Thinking of the hair samples of his two children in his hand, he needed to get them tested as soon as possible. He quickly came up with an excuse and hurriedly left the ward.
For the sake of rigorous results, he drove to a strict and legitimate judicial appraisal institution, submitted the samples there, and could come back to get the results in three to five days.
...
After leaving the hospital, Ye Jinmeng and Xu Wanwan discussed going to find Shi Shuning and He Junting.
As the boss, Shi Shuning had started working on the seventh day, while He Junting had also begun his internship at the He Group on the same day.
Since Shi Shuning's company was still relatively small, with only around a dozen people, and not much budget for rent, he had only rented an office space.
However, the office building Shi Shuning was in was right across from the He Group, so the two buddies would occasionally have lunch together.
Ye Jinmeng drove with Xu Wanwan to the He Group building and, not wanting to disturb the workers, the two went to a nearby cafe for a light afternoon tea.
It wasn't quitting time yet, so there weren't many people in the shop. Ye Jinmeng leisurely ate some small sweets, blissful enough to bubble over.
"Wanwan, do you know where my uncle is now?" Ye Jinmeng suddenly asked.
Xu Wanwan frowned, "This, I don't know. Even the police don't know, how could we guess?"
"I really don't know why my uncle would go to such lengths... what is he trying to achieve?"
Although Ye Jinmeng was quite afraid of Ye Junwen, she was still unwilling to believe that he would become so depraved as to want to kill her and her brother. Ye Jinmeng felt sad.
In Xu Wanwan's previous life's memories, there wasn't much about Uncle Ye Junwen, she had only seen him come looking for Ye Jinmeng a few times.
"Hmm, I don't know either. My past life's memories don't have so many things. I also don't know how he got to know Zhen Kechuan, maybe Zhen Kechuan led him astray!"
For now, Xu Wanwan could only console Ye Jinmeng this way.
"Alas, I hope my uncle can realize his mistakes and quickly turn himself in."
"Oh~ Are you Mengmeng's sister?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice reached the two of them, and Ye Jinmeng looked up to see a pair of smiling eyes.
Ye Jinmeng recognized those eyes immediately and excitedly said, "You you you! It's..." Justin!
Before she could finish speaking, the boy put his finger to his lips: "Shh!"
Ye Jinmeng fell silent instantly, her restless hands revealing how excited she was at that moment.
Xu Wanwan naturally also recognized the person in front of them, and seeing Ye Jinmeng's excited state, she covered her mouth and laughed quietly.
"Do you mind if I join you?"
Ye Jinmeng didn't even think twice and immediately shifted her bottom inward, reaching out to pat the vacated space beside her, gesturing for him to sit down quickly.
Xu Wanwan covered her eyes, utterly embarrassed, not even caring if Shi Shuning would get jealous!
Justin smiled faintly and took a seat, reaching out to remove the face mask he was wearing.
