Chapter 58

In the next few minutes, Duan Yan's gaze remained fixed on the forensic report in his hand, and he never recovered.

He read and re-read the last two lines over and over again, but he didn't seem to be convinced, so he also re-checked the contents of the previous pages, reading them carefully from beginning to end.

Duan Yan tried his best to understand the biological knowledge mentioned in the report about patriarchal index, matriarchal index, and genetic loci composed of a series of letters and numbers.

But in the end, the only information he could decipher from it was: he was not the real son of either Xia Lerong or Duan Chenglin.

The paper of the report has obviously turned yellow, and it looks a little bit of age.

Duan Yan looked for the time it was issued, and it was 20 years ago.

He had passed his 26th birthday a few months ago, so it is estimated that this DNA firm report was published when he was six years old.

After a brief downtime, Duan Yan had many doubts in his mind.

Since the report was locked in Xia Lerong's safe, there is no doubt that Xia Lerong knew about it, but what about Duan Chenglin?Does he know it too?

Could it be that he was hugged wrong in the hospital back then?

Since Xia Lerong knows that he is not her own son, why hasn't she done anything these years?

Of course, maybe she has, but he hasn't discovered it.

However, the more he guessed, the more upset and distressed Duan Yan became.

Before returning to the hospital ward again, the nurse told Duan Yan that Xia Lerong had woken up from the coma, but she was resting due to taking the medicine.

Looking at his mother who was lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully, Duan Yan had no intention of disturbing her any longer. He stood at the door, watched her quietly from a distance, and finally gave the things to the nurse, then turned and left the hospital.

After dealing with the client's conflict, it was nearly twelve o'clock in the morning when Xiang Mingqiu returned to the kennel.

The big room was pitch black, Xiang Mingqiu thought that Duan Yan hadn't come back yet, when he touched the button on the wall and turned on the light, he found someone sitting in the hall on the first floor.

At first, he thought it was another burglary, but after half a second, Xiang Mingqiu saw the face clearly.

"Huo Huo Huo, why don't you turn on the lights when you come back?"

Duan Yan slowly raised his eyes, swept lightly at him, and did not answer.

Xiang Mingqiu asked again: "How is Aunt Xia doing now?"

"She will be hospitalized for a few days, and she is fine."

"That's good." Xiang Mingqiu heaved a sigh of relief.

After changing his shoes, he walked towards Duan Yan and put the packed bag in his hand on the tea table: "Just now I bought you a bowl of snow fungus and lotus seed syrup through Zhaoji, you don't usually like to drink this. "

"Don't drink now." Duan Yan didn't look at the table at all.

Xiang Mingqiu thought that he was in a bad mood because of Xia Lerong's hospitalization, so he could understand, so he sat down beside him, and took the initiative to open the package of sugar water for him: "Then I'll put it here, and wait until you want to drink it later." drink."

Duan Yan played with the lighter in his hand, after about two or three minutes, he opened his mouth lightly, and finally opened his mouth.

"Xiang Mingqiu" he shouted to the people next to him, but he never looked at him, "I'll leave this kennel to you in the future, I'll quit playing."

These words came very suddenly, and Xiang Mingqiu was a little confused, so he even mistakenly thought that it was the blow caused by Xia Lerong's car accident to Duan Yan.

"Huo Huo Huo, please speak clearly, has something happened to you?"

"I said, I won't take my father's inheritance. I won't grab it from you. You can keep it alone. Is that clear enough?" After Duan Yan finished speaking, he stood up from the sofa and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Xiang Mingqiu hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold him back, "I want you to speak clearly, to ask what happened to you, not to listen to you talking about these inexplicable things—"

Before he finished speaking, Duan Yan suddenly yelled and interrupted: "Can you stop bothering me?!"

Duan Yan was a little agitated, he shook Xiang Mingqiu's hand forcefully as he spoke, he couldn't control his strength well, and accidentally knocked over the bowl of snow fungus and lotus seed syrup on the coffee table, splashing all over the floor.

The living room was silent for a moment, Duan Yan glanced at the sugar water spilled on the floor, and then raised his head to glance at Mingqiu.

He opened his mouth slightly, and originally wanted to explain something, but in the end he gave up and stepped out of the threshold of the big house with the key.

The current him actually doesn't want to say anything, he just wants to find a place where no one is around, let his mind go, and calm himself down.

In the early morning, the port pier was empty except for the boats moored on the shore. Occasionally, the sound of waves hitting the embankment was heard.

Duan Yan stood alone on the railing along the bank, smoking one cigarette after another in his pocket.

He and Duan Chenglin don't look very similar in appearance, but it doesn't make people doubt their parent-child relationship.

From the past until now, everyone around them has said that the father and son have the same personality, the same aggressive, the same strong, unwilling to admit defeat.

Although the relationship between him and Duan Chenglin has not been very good, and although the three of them have been in a state of disunity all these years, the moment when he learned that the parents he has lived with for many years has no blood relationship, still brought Duan Yan a great deal of emotion. Mental shock.

All of this was so unreal, and until now, he still hasn't been able to slow down.

Having been the young master of the Duan family for 26 years, one day suddenly, this conclusion was completely overturned. What really disturbed Duan Yan was not the inheritance of his father's inheritance, but the invisible blood relationship.

So far, where should everything go?

After resting the night before, and visiting her mother in the ward again the next day, Xia Lerong's complexion obviously improved a lot.

Duan Yan poured her a cup of cold boiled water, and handed her the oral medicine along the way.

"I just wanted to drive to the nearby supermarket to buy something. Who would have thought that I would be hit by a car just a few minutes away? Damn! Why did this kind of unlucky thing happen to me?"

Xia Lerong sighed and complained, poured the medicine into her mouth, took a mouthful of boiled water, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Anyway, it's good that you're fine." Duan Yan comforted, "The doctor said to stay in the hospital for observation temporarily, you should take a good rest these few days, don't think too much."

Xia Lerong narrowed her eyes and smiled, then reached out and patted her son's face lightly.

Duan Yan looked at his mother in front of him, but didn't speak.

Thinking about these years, Xia Lerong has always regarded himself as his own, and even said that he would leave the company's shares to himself in the future. If it weren't for the appraisal report, he might never doubt himself and Xia Lerong's mother and son in this life. relation.

"What's wrong with my son today? It's been quiet since you came into the ward. It's not like you." Xia Lerong teased him.

"I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm a little tired." Duan Yan explained that he really suffered from insomnia all night.

"Then go back and rest."

"Later, I want to stay with you for a while longer. Do you want an apple?" Duan Yan took an apple from the fruit basket on the bedside table and prepared to peel it.

Xia Lerong hurriedly said: "No apples, give me an orange."

"En." Duan Yan replied, put the apple back, and picked a big orange with deep yellow color.

"By the way, Mom, I remember you said before that I was born in Kunming." He picked up the fruit knife, and while peeling the orange, he pretended to mention this matter casually.

"Yeah, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Xia Lerong asked.

"When I came to the hospital today, I happened to meet an old classmate who had a follow-up visit to the obstetrics and gynecology department. By the way, I chatted about the birth of the child."

"I see."

"Didn't our family live in Xiangshan all the time? Why did you go to Kunming at that time? Don't you think it's troublesome?"

Xia Lerong took it for granted: "The weather there is good, suitable for pregnant women to raise their babies with peace of mind, and the Duan family has a holiday villa over there, so it's not troublesome at all."

"When my classmate went into the delivery room to give birth, he deliberately took a camera to take pictures of his child's birth, so that he can review it later. Mom, did you record it for me at that time?"

"You were born earlier than the due date, and I gave birth in the bathroom before I even walked out of the room. It was an emergency, and I didn't have time to make videos."

"in this way......"

Duan Yan fell into silence. According to Xia Lerong's rhetoric, the possibility of holding the wrong baby in the delivery room of the hospital does not seem to be very high.

Xia Lerong concealed something, but Duan Yan didn't know what it was.

After leaving the ward, Duan Yan walked around the garden area under the hospital building.

He sat idly on the stone bridge in the middle of the lake, looking at the floating lotus in the water with a little absent-mindedness, and his thoughts drifted back to the past unconsciously, recalling many past events.

Due to work, Duan Chenglin was always very busy. When he was a child, whether it was parents' meeting or other school activities, almost Xia Lerong came to participate as a family representative.

Xia Lerong is pretty, can dress up, and has always been very gentle when speaking to her son. Every time she sees the envious eyes cast by her classmates around her, Duan Yan always feels extremely proud and proud.

Even if he has no blood relationship with the Duan family, even if the relationship between Duan Chenglin and Xia Lerong has always been poor, even if Duan Chenglin always controls him too strictly, he doesn't lack any fatherly or motherly love that should be there.

He has been enjoying the treatment of the only son of the Duan family since he was a child.

"What do you think when you're sitting in a place like this?"

An all-too-familiar voice came from his ear, he looked up, raised his chin towards Ming Qiu, whistled at him, and walked over from the other side of the bridge.

"Why are you here?"

Xiang Mingqiu smiled, bent down to pat the dust on the slate, and sat down beside Duan Yan: "You didn't seem to be in a good mood last night, and you didn't go back to the kennel today, so I thought, come to the hospital Look here, my intuition is quite accurate, right?"

Duan Yan didn't want to say anything, he tilted his head and placed it directly on Xiang Mingqiu's shoulder.

For a moment, Xiang Mingqiu was a little surprised by his behavior.

"Tired, just don't move, let me rest for a while." Duan Yan said softly, with a hint of fatigue in his words.

There were many people passing by around, Duan Yan completely ignored those strange eyes, still leaned on the shoulder of the person next to him, closed his eyes, as if he was out of it.

"Xiang Mingqiu"

"Um"

"Have you ever encountered something like the kind that makes you so confused that you doubt life, but can't do anything?"

"Encountered many times."

"How did you solve it later?"

"Bite the bullet and solve it. Life is so long, you have to continue living, otherwise."

Duan Yan was silent for a long time before speaking again: "There are some things that I don't know how to say."

A hand reached out, took his hand in the palm, and then, a soft, feather-light kiss fell on the top of his head.

He heard the person next to him whisper in his ear in a deep and gentle voice: "Tell me when you want to say it. If you don't want to say it all the time, then don't say it, and I won't ask."
