Chapter 1089: Chapter 1089: I am Bai Xiao’s Father
The transfer order hasn’t come through yet.
It seems that after Zhang Huan spoke to her, there was no further response.
It’s unclear whether the hospital is testing Bai Xiao’s personal willingness to leave.
Anyway, there’s been no follow-up.
Ten days later, An Zhiyuan received a call, with the secretary saying someone was looking for him.
An Zhiyuan found it strange; not many people come here looking for him.
He personally went out to the gate and saw a black luxury car parked there. An Zhiyuan frowned. It was a BMW, a model rarely seen domestically, but they don’t know that men have a natural fondness for cars.
Driving such a car was really ostentatious; no wonder the secretary’s expression was somewhat indescribable when looking at him.
Perhaps suspecting it was a relative from An Zhiyuan’s family, after all, who else would drive such a car to find him here.
Seeing An Zhiyuan, Bai Jingshan had a somewhat indescribable look.
He had been leaning against the car; he didn’t bring a driver today and came alone.
Seeing An Zhiyuan, he threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the trash can, although there was already a pile of cigarette butts around the car.
An Zhiyuan walked over.
Unfamiliar!
He was quite sure he didn’t know this person.
“Hello, I’m An Zhiyuan. Are you looking for me?”
Bai Jingshan gazed at An Zhiyuan. In the past two days, he finally felt what it’s like to be a parent. He had never felt this way towards his daughter Bai Wei. Bai Wei was the daughter of his ex-wife and someone else; he only learned this by chance many years ago. After this secret was uncovered, he never remarried or had children again, as he was too disappointed.
Now, suddenly he somewhat understood what it feels like to have a relationship with one’s biological child.
How is he supposed to face these over twenty years of missed opportunities?
How could he not know that Bai Xiao is so resistant towards her father, perhaps due to her disgust for Monk Feng, but what is he supposed to do now?
He’s not much better than Monk Feng; he didn’t even know this child existed! Now he regrets it. Regrets not staying when he had the chance; if only he had persisted a bit longer, maybe he would have gone to find Yu Shaoya, and perhaps Yu Shaoya would have told him about this.
Then everything that happened later wouldn’t have occurred.
He believed that if he had returned and married Yu Shaoya, perhaps everything would be different.
Maybe they would have lived a happy life together as a family of three, perhaps Yu Shaoya need not have died, and Bai Xiao wouldn’t have suffered all this.
In the end, it was really his fault.
He only thought of himself, yet he’s responsible for everything that happened now. He should have taken responsibility back then, and maybe all this wouldn’t have happened.
It was his fault indeed.
“I am Bai Jingshan! I’d like to talk to you. If you’re free, we can find a place to sit down.”
An Zhiyuan pondered, this Bai Jingshan seemed a bit odd.
His expression towards him bore emotions too complex to fathom. Towards him, a man?
Could it be that his charm has grown to the extent that even men are taking notice?
An Zhiyuan mocked his own arrogance; how could that be possible? Even if Bai Jingshan were interested in someone, it shouldn’t be him.
He is a chief, after all, unless Bai Jingshan was confident that offending him would still allow him to come out unscathed; he was not someone who would make reckless moves.
“Okay, there’s a restaurant a couple of blocks ahead. The environment might not be perfect, but it has private rooms and is quiet.”
He wanted to see what Bai Jingshan had up his sleeve.
He already knew from Bai Xiao about this Bai Jingshan, as Shang Kaiwen’s most prized catch, unexpectedly coming to find them.
Truly unexpected.
Bai Jingshan got into the car, “Get in; I’ll drop you off later.”
An Zhiyuan got in the car, paused, “Mr. Bai, actually we can talk in the car. What exactly are you here for?”
The car keys of Bai Jingshan weren’t turned to start the engine.
“An Zhiyuan, what I’m about to say might sound incredible, but I hope you can remain calm. It’s because you’re a man, and you’re the person closest to Bai Xiao, so I felt I should come to you first. I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle it.” Bai Jingshan handed a file folder from the back seat to An Zhiyuan.
He remained silent, awaiting An Zhiyuan’s judgment.
“It seems this matter is related to Bai Xiao?”
An Zhiyuan untied the string on top, slowly unwinding it, eventually opening the file folder and extracting a few sheets of paper inside.
The more he looked, the more frightened he was.
He considered that the contents might impact his life with Bai Xiao, but he never imagined something this shocking could be inside.
His intuition told him that what Bai Jingshan was about to say would be earth-shattering, but he hadn’t anticipated this.
“How… did you obtain this report?”
They had heard of this testing technology before! But seeing its actual application in life, this was his first time, and his mind was in chaos.
The first thought he had was that Bai Jingshan must have tampered with it! Altered something, even speculating on what Bai Jingshan wanted to gain.
“I secretly took a strand of Bai Xiao’s hair and had a DNA comparison done with mine. Although the method was somewhat unconventional, it was the only thing I could do at the time. If I had approached Bai Xiao about doing a paternity test together, I thought she would think I was insane.”
Bai Jingshan gave a bitter smile; besides him, perhaps no one else would have ever thought this.
Bai Xiao was actually his daughter.
After all these years, he finally learned he had a biological daughter.
She suffered where he didn’t know, while he let another’s daughter enjoy all his wealth and glory.
What a gigantic joke!
“This doesn’t mean anything, right? This paternity test might have errors. Have you made some mistake?” An Zhiyuan actually knew the truth! When he spoke those words, how weak he felt, knowing that without scientific evidence, people wouldn’t make such comparisons.
Bai Xiao turned out to be Bai Jingshan’s daughter, and really had nothing to do with Monk Feng.
No wonder the old lady, Li Chunhua, said the will of the Bai Family’s elder couple was that Bai Xiao wasn’t Monk Feng’s daughter.
They couldn’t produce any evidence either; now the real father had emerged.
“An Zhiyuan, the reports absolutely have legal validity. This paternity testing technology has been validated by scientists in many countries, with an error margin of nearly 0.1%. If you don’t believe it, we can conduct another comparison. I am indeed Bai Xiao’s biological father.”
Bai Jingshan was very proud to have such an outstanding daughter.
An Zhiyuan silently stuffed the report back into the file folder and returned it to Bai Jingshan, “So what do you want? To acknowledge Bai Xiao? I think Bai Xiao might not want to acknowledge you!”
How much Bai Xiao detested calling him father, An Zhiyuan surely knew.
What’s more, the situation inside was so incredible; how did Yu Shaoya get involved with Bai Jingshan, yet everyone was completely unaware, and Bai Jingshan had been abroad for so many years, now suddenly appearing! Since he knew Bai Xiao existed, why had he been indifferent all these years?
Who knows what kind of conspiracy lies within this!
