"Your little Mengmeng will be part of my family from now on."
Ye Junli: ???
Shi Ze and He Yuanhao: Oh no, we knew he was shocked, but now he's even eyeing other people's little daughters!
Seeing their bewildered expressions, Xiao Yongze smiled faintly, his left hand gently tapping on the office desk.
Ye Junli: "Old Xiao, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."
Xiao Yongze coughed lightly, "Ahem, well, Mengmeng is my biological daughter."
Ye Junli abruptly stood up, exclaiming in astonishment: "What did you say?!"
"Mengmeng is the biological daughter of me and Xi Xi, so she'll be my family's precious child from now on."
Shi Ze and He Yuanhao couldn't help but open their mouths wide, their shock no less than Mengmeng's own father, Ye Junli.
"Hey, Old Xiao, you're not hallucinating, are you?" Shi Ze worriedly asked.
Is he just going to snatch away another family's little daughter just because he finds her cute? Although she's not Ye's biological child, it's still improper to just take her!
Song Jiaxi couldn't help but laugh out loud, glaring at her inappropriate husband, and quickly explained the situation.
"We took Mengmeng for a paternity test this morning, and the results will be out in three days, so we can confirm it then."
The brothers were initially shocked but then relieved, as they had been given quite a fright.
Ye Junli rolled his eyes at Xiao Yongze, "The test results aren't even out yet, and you've already confirmed that my good girl is your own daughter?"
Xiao Yongze nodded solemnly, "I'm absolutely certain!"
"What if she's not?" He Yuanhao couldn't help but ask.
"If she's not?" Xiao Yongze stroked his chin, seemingly pondering, "If she's not, then I'll still treat her as my daughter. I don't care; she's my daughter either way!"
Ye Junli wasn't pleased by this. He had raised his little daughter for nineteen years, and now someone else was eyeing her. Just thinking about his good girl calling someone else "Dad" in the future made him increasingly upset.
But then he started feeling sad again. His own little daughter had secretly gone for a paternity test without telling him, her own father. Oh, there's no true love in this world!
After the brotherly meeting, Ye Junli didn't feel like going to the office anymore and went straight home to cry to his wife.
Gu Qi was watching TV with Ye Jinchen when she saw Ye Junli's miserable expression and was puzzled.
Ye Junli didn't care about maintaining his mighty image in front of his son and buried his head in Gu Qi's neck, bursting into tears like a tiger.
"Wuwuwu, wife, our good girl is going to be taken away..."
Gu Qi: ???
Ye Jinchen: Although confused, he couldn't bear to look!
"Wuwuwu, Old Xiao said our good girl is his own daughter, and they've already gone for a paternity test, but our good girl didn't even tell us..."
"Our good girl is going to call someone else 'Dad' now, and I won't be her only father anymore..."
Ye Junli described the situation to Gu Qi in bits and pieces. Although Gu Qi was initially confused, she quickly grasped the important information and was shocked but quickly processed it.
"Alright, alright, look at how you're behaving in front of our child!"
Ye Junli then seemed to realize he had ruined his strict father image and glared at Ye Jinchen, who quickly covered his eyes, indicating he saw nothing.
"Husband, this might actually be a good thing. When Mengmeng learned that her birth mother had maliciously swapped her with another child, she cried her heart out in distress. Even though she hasn't shown it, I think there's still a lump in her heart."
"If Yongze and Xi Xi are her biological parents, she'll definitely be overjoyed."
"She didn't tell us because she herself might have reservations. She might not know how to tell us, or she might be afraid that it's just a false hope."
"So what we need to do most is give Mengmeng strength and encouragement. No matter the result, the Ye family will always be her warmest harbor."
Ye Jinchen chimed in: "Mom's right!"
Ye Junli sniffled, the sadness in his heart dissipating. His two daughters were both his treasures. So what if Mengmeng turned out to be Old Xiao's daughter? He, Ye Junli, would be Mengmeng's father for the rest of his life.
Seeing his father's state, Ye Jinchen fearlessly "tsk-tsked": "Dad, the lofty and mighty image you had in my heart has just been 'poof' shattered."
Ye Junli glared at him fiercely, "You're the heartless one! Your own sister is being taken away, and you don't even show any reaction! She's called you 'Big Brother' for over ten years!"
Ye Jinchen seemed nonchalant: "A real man doesn't shed tears!"
"Get lost!"
"Alright, Mom and Dad, I'm going to rest in my room~"
Ye Jinchen returned to his room, buried his head under the covers, and soon his sobs could be heard from beneath the blanket: "Wuwuwu... my sister is becoming someone else's family..."
When Shu Ning heard this news from his parents, he felt like he had been struck by lightning.
The only thought repeating in his mind was, "My love rival has become my little uncle."
If Xiao Yuanning really became his little uncle, wouldn't he constantly badmouth Shu Ning in front of Mengmeng?
That's unacceptable!
Just thinking about it was terrifying...
Three days later.
The Xiao family of three sat on the sofa in the Ye family's living room, staring at a file bag on the coffee table along with the five members of the Ye family.
Everyone was tense, and Xiao Yuanning kept rubbing his hands together, seemingly impatient to see the results.
"Dad, hurry up and look!"
Who knew how excited and anxious he had been since hearing that his parents and Sister Meng Meng had gone for a paternity test?
"Let me open it."
Xu Wanwan volunteered and took the paternity test report out of the file bag on the coffee table.
The people in the living room all held their breath and stared intently at the document in Xu Wanwan's hands. Ye Jinmeng even squeezed her cushion into a ball.
Xu Wanwan flipped directly to the end and saw the result, her face showing excitement.
"According to the available data and DNA analysis results, it is supported that Xiao Yongze and Song Jiaxi are the biological parents of Ye Jinmeng."
Everyone in the living room immediately teared up. Xiao Yongze and Song Jiaxi were both in tears.
Song Jiaxi immediately rushed over and hugged the still stunned Ye Jinmeng.
"Daughter, my daughter! Mom didn't know you were alive, Mom is so sorry!"
Xiao Yuanning also hugged his mother and sister from the other side, crying, "Sister, you're really my sister, I knew you had to be my sister!"
Ye Jinmeng felt the moisture on her neck, snapped out of it, "Am I... Am I not dreaming...?"
Her mother wasn't that wicked woman, but the kind Uncle Xiao and Auntie Song!
Xiao Yongze stretched out his long arms, embracing the weeping mother and children together.
For nineteen years, almost every night he dreamed of a happy, reunited family living together, a loving couple with two children, a scene that made him wake up smiling each time, but then he could only face reality with sorrow.
Xiao Yongze bit his tongue hard, the sharp pain and the metallic taste of blood in his mouth making him realize this was not a dream, truly not a dream.
His daughter had returned, they were finally a complete family again.
