Chapter 1085: Chapter 1085 DNA
"It’s really a pity, I never thought she’d pass away so early; I didn’t even get to meet her. But coincidentally, she’s buried in Modu, and I just visited her a few days ago. It’s such a loss that she died in her twenties—my lifelong regret is not being able to repay her kindness. It truly is regrettable."
"In Modu?"
Bai Xiao was surprised and a bit annoyed. She had never found the time, and it was so close—if she’d only put in some effort, maybe she could have connected with Bai Jingshan.
But it’s not too late now since she’s Bai Jingshan’s doctor.
"Yes, at Song’an Cemetery. I really didn’t expect it to be so close."
"Song’an Cemetery, an educated youth? Sorry to ask, but what is your benefactor’s name? I often go to Song’an Cemetery to pay respects; my mother is also buried there. She had also worked near Liupan Village and perhaps might know your benefactor."
She felt it was too much of a coincidence.
The circumstances perfectly matched Yu Shaoya.
Could it be what she was thinking?
"Oh, it’s truly a coincidence. My benefactor was Yu Shaoya. Do you mind if I ask your mother’s name?"
Bai Xiao widened her eyes and pulled out a needle; Bai Jingshan seemed off.
The intent was too strong.
It felt like he was targeting her.
If you think about these words, he’s trying to lead her along with his story.
If Bai Jingshan knew Yu Shaoya was his benefactor, it would be impossible not to investigate Yu Shaoya’s affairs, and Bai Xiao being Yu Shaoya’s daughter wouldn’t be a secret. Since he knew her mother was at Song’an Cemetery, he surely contacted her uncles, and it would be unlikely for him to not know these things.
Why pretend like this now?
"Mr. Bai, the needles have been removed. After you return home, please avoid bathing and pay attention to dietary control. If everything goes well, you should return for a follow-up in three days." Bai Xiao calmly disinfected and packed away the silver needles.
Bai Jingshan turned over, picked up his shirt, and put it on.
"It’s already finished! It’s really quick this time!"
This girl heard Yu Shaoya’s name and remained unfazed; she truly is a thoughtful person.
Bai Xiao said nothing, quickly packed her silver needles, and was about to open the door, but caught sight of Bai Jingshan reaching out with a hand, and her heart tightened.
Could Bai Jingshan be trying to take advantage of her?
Her hand gripped the acupuncture kit tightly; if he wanted to die, let him try.
Bai Jingshan’s hand landed on Bai Xiao’s shoulder, gently picked up a strand of her hair, "Dr. Bai, you have a hair here. Let me help you remove it."
His attitude was respectful, maintaining an appropriate distance, without any hint of ill intention.
Seeing Bai Jingshan wasn’t making any inappropriate moves, Bai Xiao opened the door to the clinic, "Mr. Bai, you can leave now."
Bai Jingshan laughed, "Dr. Bai! I know you’re Yu Shaoya’s daughter. Your mother was my lifesaver. If you ever need anything, please come to me, and I will help you unconditionally." He took out a business card from his pocket and placed it on the table for Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao remained silent, surprised that Bai Jingshan had sought her out.
Bai Jingshan walked swiftly out the door.
And ran into Yu Shaoyan, Dean Jin, and Secretary Zhang.
The moment Yu Shaoyan saw Bai Jingshan emerging from the clinic, his gaze turned sharp, fixing on Bai Jingshan as if he wanted to eat him.
"Humph! A beast in human skin!"
He muttered this as he brushed past, rushing into the clinic.
Bai Jingshan was baffled; who was this guy?
Could that remark be referring to him?
A beast in human skin!
Good heavens, Bai Jingshan had never heard such a description of himself before, speechless—a beast in human skin!
How was he a beast in human skin?
Bai Jingshan looked himself over; it really was the first time for him.
He got into his car and instructed the driver, "Drive! Back to the company."
He took out a sealed bag from his pocket and placed the strand of hair he’d been clutching tightly into it. The hair was long, shiny black, almost identical to Bai Xiao’s long hair on her shoulder. When choosing it, he had paid special attention—it was tangled among all her hair, likely fallen out while combing yet hadn’t fallen completely.
DNA technology already exists that can greatly determine the blood relation between one person and another.
His hands stroked the sealed bag; if she really was his daughter, what had he missed over the years? Thinking about the hardships she faced in her childhood, tears gleamed in his eyes.
Once back at the company, he immediately arranged for the secretary to personally deliver it to Hong Kong Island Hospital; the results would take about two weeks. However, he had contacted the doctor; if expedited, it could be done in a week. He instructed the secretary to wait for the report there and return with it.
Bai Jingshan probably had never been this nervous in his life.
He couldn’t believe there might be a child in the world he didn’t know about—the idea that Bai Xiao might be his child was disturbing.
Bai Xiao’s entire history lay before him.
The child’s experiences with the Bai Family, especially from the age of ten onward, were nightmares. The child’s suffering was appalling.
If she were his child, growing up in such an environment, he would want to kill Bai Jianguo and Bai Xiao’s grandmother—how dare that man try to use Bai Xiao for money after Li Xiaoshan’s incidents, that worthless man fitting for Bai Xiao!
Who knows if this family is out of their minds.
Perhaps they never considered Bai Xiao part of the family, so it wasn’t an issue.
Since hearing Shang Kaiwen’s remarks, Bai Xiao’s grandmother’s claim that Bai Xiao wasn’t Shang Feng’s child, he had become obsessed, just fixated on the idea that Bai Xiao was related to him.
This was madness.
Bai Xiao could never have known someone was anxiously awaiting the outcome. After Bai Jingshan left, she directly called out, "Next!"
Unexpectedly, Yu Shaoyan, Secretary Zhang, and Dean Jin all appeared in her clinic.
She was surprised with joy, even though she knew Yu Shaoyan was getting out these days.
But she didn’t know Yu Shaoyan was out already, somewhat blaming Yu Feixue for not notifying her—what kind of traitorous friend was this?
Could they still be good sisters?
"Uncle! You’re back! I’m so happy." Bai Xiao joyfully held Yu Shaoyan.
Yu Shaoyan looked Bai Xiao up and down; this girl really evoked compassion, having encountered such troubles, getting tangled with those who thwart her, yet she remained silent even when seeing him—not complaining, probably to not burden him, her uncle.
"You, girl! You’ve come to this terrible place, and you didn’t even come looking for your uncle! Do you really think your uncle is just useless, incapable of protecting his niece?" Angry, so very angry.
He had promised himself to take good care of his sister’s daughter, and yet he had been to blame.
Bai Xiao’s face displayed nothing but smiles, "Uncle, unbelievable! The sun and moon bear witness, I have the utmost confidence in you. Besides, who would dare give me trouble? It was my own choice. Otherwise, my dear An Zhiyuan would disagree.
Dean Jin was so kind to let me have a break! How could I not appreciate that?"
Now, this was really adding fuel to the fire.
Dean Jin’s mouth twitched.
Niece, I was wrong.
