"We’re waiting for the results of the test," Old Master Jia didn’t wait for Old Master Situ to speak, and rushed to reply.

"Oh, I see, what kind of test is it? Do you need me to hurry them up for you?" The vice president wanted to please these two old men, but it was quite apparent that the attempt to flatter them had backfired. Once the vice president spoke, he was met with unhappy looks from both old masters.

The vice president didn’t realize what he had said wrong, and it was only because of the president’s indication not to speak further that he stopped talking. Although both the president and vice president stopped speaking, knowing their place, they couldn’t leave while the two distinguished guests remained.

Originally, when Jia Zhengce was summoned by Old Master Jia, he was very uncomfortable, but he dared not complain too much in front of his father. Given his way of doing things, he would certainly leave once everything was done. However, unexpectedly, after completing the paternity test with Situ Haoran, Jia Zhengce stayed.

He didn’t stay because he had discovered something upon seeing Ling Ruobing, but he felt that there was something odd about the day’s events; it was strange how his old man had suddenly called him back for a paternity test, and it wasn’t just him. The other person was someone he would never have expected—Situ Haoran.

There, while Old Master Situ and Old Master Jia were talking with the president and vice president, Jia Zhengce walked over to Situ Haoran, playfully bumped into him, and said, "Tell me, Situ Haoran, what’s this about? You’ve even fallen to the point of having to do a paternity test at the hospital. Heh heh, it seems your private life isn’t as straightforward as it appears~." As he said this, Jia Zhengce laughed to himself.

But Situ Haoran didn’t say anything and just frowned at him. Meanwhile, Situ Haotian, seeing his elder brother being laughed at, felt very uncomfortable and burst out wanting to defend his big brother, but he was stopped by Situ Haoran, who shook his head to signal not to be impulsive. They would address the issue after the results were out.

After completing the paternity test, Liang Ruobing sat in a chair in the corner silently, her head lowered, her expression hidden from Situ Xin’s view. However, Situ Xin felt that Liang Ruobing was also a child with a hard fate.

It’s known that Jia Zhengce had already married and even had a son. Moreover, according to the investigation results from the Dragon Society, Jia Zhengce was keeping five mistresses outside, and two of them had already borne him children. Naturally, all these were kept secret, and if it weren’t for the intelligence network under Dragon Society, Situ Xin might not have been able to dig up this information.

Even with such a biological father, if the results came out, there would be no benefits for Ling Ruobing.

Situ Xin might feel pity for Liang Ruobing, but she was not a saint, ready to reach out and help her.

"Baby, I think you might want to go back first? Staying here for a night can be tiring," Situ Che stretched out his hand and tenderly ruffled his little sister’s hair. Even though Situ Che knew how capable his little sister was, he couldn’t help but feel the urge to pamper her.

"Big Brother Che, I’m fine. But now that you mention it, it reminds me that grandpa and grandma are old, and although they’re usually in good health, they definitely can’t handle staying up all night like this," Situ Xin said, lifting her head to smile at Situ Che, and then looked worriedly at Old Madam Situ and Old Master Situ sitting there. "Big Brother Che, I’ll go and persuade grandpa and grandma to go back, so they don’t have to wait here anymore."

With that, Situ Xin went over to Old Master Situ and Old Madam Situ to persuade them. Initially, the two elders insisted on not agreeing, adamant about waiting for the results. But in the end, they couldn’t resist their beloved granddaughter’s coaxing, and with a suggestion from Situ Xin, Old Master Situ, Old Madam, and Old Master Jia agreed to leave, allowing the sons of both families to wait for news at the military hospital.

Just before Old Master Situ and Old Master Jia left, they gave their sons a proper warning, telling them to call as soon as the results were out. And Liang Ruobing, upon a gesture from Situ Xin, was sent back to her mother’s side.

The results of the paternity test came out the next evening, a few hours later than expected. As the time approached and no phone call came, Old Master Situ and Old Master Jia themselves drove to the military hospital.

No sooner had the two old masters arrived than the doctor came out with the paternity test reports. Today, the president and vice president of the military hospital did not show up because after the two old masters had left the night before, they returned to their office, and learning from their subordinates the purpose of the old masters’ visit to the military hospital, both broke into cold sweats.

So, although they knew the results were out today, neither of them made an appearance.

"Uh, the paternity test report is out," said the doctor holding the report, his heart drumming nervously in fear of losing his job because of his knowledge of the matter.

"Hand it over," demanded Old Master Situ and Old Master Jia in unison.

The doctor hurriedly handed the separate paternity test reports to Old Master Situ and Old Master Jia, almost as if what he was holding was some virus he needed to get rid of quickly. Indeed, for him, those two paternity test reports were a virus.

Old Master Situ and Old Master Jia didn’t care about the doctor’s demeanor; they were wholly focused on the paternity test reports in their hands. So were Situ Haoran and Jia Zhengxin—everyone’s attention was on the reports, and they all ignored the worried look the doctor gave to Old Master Jia.

As Old Master Situ and Old Master Jia opened the paternity test reports, everyone involuntarily held their breath, and even Situ Xin, who knew the outcome, felt her heart quicken.

When Old Master Situ and Old Master Jia read the final results on their respective reports, their expressions were completely different. Old Master Situ let out a sigh of relief.
