Chapter 565 - 482: Do You Agree? (5 Updates)
Leng Qiankai furiously grabbed his hair: "This is absolute nonsense! She and I are just in a standard superior-subordinate relationship! I swear to the heavens, if I ever did such a thing, may I be struck down by lightning!"
Mrs. Leng folded her arms coldly, standing off to the side, watching this farce unfold.
She could feel her temples throbbing with pain, her head seeming as though it might explode.
She forced herself to stay calm—now was not the time for her to lose control!
Her fingers trembled slightly as she picked up the diary, its pages already yellowed, the handwriting neat and elegant.
As she read the contents, her face grew darker and darker.
She hadn’t imagined that Leng Qiankai could ever have been so romantic.
Even with all her self-restraint, she still couldn’t suppress the feelings of jealousy that crept in—she was still a woman, and seeing her husband having done so many things with another woman, it was impossible not to feel even the slightest anger.
"I didn’t know you could be so charming—sending flowers, giving gifts, walking her home. Even strolling through the rain romantically on a rainy day?"
Mr. Leng listened to all this with an utterly baffled expression on his face.
"She and I were just colleagues! When did I ever do any of that?"
He quickly leaned over to take a look, read a few lines, and angrily slammed the table: "I never did any of this! Your mother was clearly with someone else! How can this be blamed on me?"
He was furious to the point of exploding—none of this had ever happened, but now it was being framed as though it were true.
If he hadn’t known better, even he might’ve been fooled by the implications between the lines.
Nie Xiuwei noticed that Leng Qiankai’s expression didn’t look like he was lying. He snatched the diary from Mrs. Leng’s hands and flipped straight to the page with Leng Qiankai’s name written on it.
Pointing to the page, Nie Xiuwei glared with accusation in his eyes: "What is this? If it wasn’t you, why would my mother write this letter to you?!" It was this letter that had ultimately led him to conclude it was Leng Qiankai.
Leng Qiankai angrily took the letter. Wei Zi’s words essentially expressed that she had raised their child successfully.
Even if she were to leave this world, she would have no regrets left.
All she hoped for was to meet him again in their next life, at the right time, and in the right circumstances.
"How utterly insane! When have I ever done anything with her? Clearly, this was with someone else, but it’s being pinned on me? Do you think someone like me, Leng Qiankai, would have anything to do with a minor assistant? I wouldn’t look twice at such a woman!"
The more Leng Qiankai spoke, the more convinced he became that this was the truth. Otherwise, given that he had never done anything, how could so many fabricated encounters be written out, practically like a novel?
Nie Xiuwei clenched his fists in fury: "I won’t let you insult my mother like this!"
Even though he had later grown up fostered in other households, his mother was still pure and kind in his heart.
Leng Ning also came over to take a look. Her father’s behavior didn’t seem guilty, but at this point, she was completely bewildered, not knowing whom she should believe anymore!
Leng Qiankai turned to Mrs. Leng: "Xiao Yan, you have to trust me! If you don’t, I’m willing to take a paternity test with him! That way, my innocence can be proven!"
He was desperate, given that there could be no confrontation with Wei Zi. The woman was already dead.
How could he possibly clear things up with a deceased person?
Mrs. Leng turned to Nie Xiuwei coldly: "Do you agree?"
Even she felt something strange about it all now; despite her heartbreak as to her husband’s feelings, he wasn’t the type to involve himself with others.
This man was loyal at best, heartless at worst—towards other women, excluding Jin Yichen’s mother.
But after reading the diary, she felt that the actions described weren’t things Leng Qiankai could possibly do!
Even his behavior throughout this entire affair—from the moment he walked into the room—was meticulous and pointedly conveyed a sense of outrage at being falsely accused, without a trace of guilt.
Could it truly not be him?
"Of course, I agree!" Nie Xiuwei responded with exceptional determination.
Nie Xiuwei felt that he couldn’t fear DNA testing—the truth, like gold, would withstand any fire. Once proven, if he really was his son,
he would absolutely insist on entering the Leng Family’s household.
After exiting the testing center, Nie Xiuwei triumphantly flashed a victory sign before leaving.
Leng Ning disdainfully flashed him the middle finger at his retreating figure. Too arrogant!
Leng Qiankai stood in place, still trying to pull Mrs. Leng to explain, "Xiao Yan! I really haven’t done anything to betray you!"
Back then, Wei Zi had expressed some affection toward him, but he had strictly rejected her advances.
After she resigned, there had been no news of her.
He never even bothered to ask about her. Irrelevant people—why would he waste any thought on them?
Mrs. Leng’s face flashed with fury as she forcefully shook off his hand: "Leng Qiankai! Talking about this now is useless! Everything will have to wait for the results!"
"Xiao Yan!!" Leng Qiankai watched as Mrs. Leng and Leng Ning walked away, agitatedly clawing at his hair!
Why was he so unlucky? Having done absolutely nothing, yet now having to take a paternity test just to prove his innocence!
He felt like he was about to explode with frustration!
Mrs. Leng didn’t go home but instead drove to Leng Mochen’s house with Leng Ning.
When they arrived, Li Si and Leng Mochen were still eating dinner.
Mrs. Leng’s face showed signs of distress. Li Si offered her some food, but she refused. Waiting for Leng Mochen to finish eating, she asked him to head to the study to talk.
Remaining behind, Leng Ning and Li Si exchanged a glance. Leng Ning sighed deeply: "Sis-in-law! My nerves are shot today!"
Starting with not being able to find Dad anywhere, then receiving a bizarre text message, followed by rushing to a teahouse with Mom.
Her nerves were stretched to their limit. What she initially thought would be a scene of confronting Dad’s mistress had turned into the sudden emergence of a supposed illegitimate child seeking recognition!
Her poor heart really couldn’t take it!
"What happened?" Li Si comfortingly patted her hand. "Tell me about it!"
From the moment the mother and daughter arrived, Li Si could tell something was wrong—and that it was something deeply troublesome.
She suspected it was unrelated to the Jin Family. But deep down, she had a nagging suspicion.
Leng Ning slowly recounted the affair with Nie Xiuwei, "If he really turns out to be Dad’s illegitimate son, what do we do then?"
Even now, she refused to believe her father was that sort of person.
But throughout, Nie Xiuwei’s confidence was unsettling—too flawless, too unassailable.
"Even if he is, so what? Grandfather wouldn’t let him set foot in the house!" Blood ties don’t matter if he isn’t acknowledged.
"True. But Mom would be the one most hurt! Sis-in-law, I know my mom can be difficult as a mother-in-law sometimes, but she really isn’t a bad person.
This time, facing such a huge storm, I’m just afraid she won’t be able to handle it!"
After walking through all this alongside her mother, watching her endure the pain while striving to stay strong, Leng Ning felt her heart ache bitterly.
"Xiao Ning! We don’t have the results yet. Don’t overthink things unnecessarily! Even if the worst happens, you and Mom have us—me, your brother, and Grandfather! We’ll face it together, won’t we?"
"Sis-in-law! Thank you!" Leng Ning grasped Li Si’s hand tightly, as though drawing strength from the connection.
Li Si wrapped her arms around her, gently patting her back in comfort: "There’s no need for formality between us."
Even though Leng Ning normally presented herself as brave and strong, she was, after all, a young girl in her early twenties.
With such unexpected familial upheaval, she couldn’t help but feel lost and unsure.
After a while, Leng Ning sighed helplessly, "Sis-in-law! Sometimes I think, in the future, if I get married, I hope my marriage is like yours and my brother’s.
Not like Mom and Dad’s—years of estrangement, never seeing each other, never arguing. Now that it’s finally stable, something like this happens. I think I’d better just forget marriage altogether—it’s too scary!"
And to think something as absurd as an illegitimate son could emerge at this age—how is anyone supposed to live with this?
Li Si tapped her on the forehead with a laugh: "You know, your assumption doesn’t hold up! Different people have different outcomes. Don’t worry; just wait for Jin Yichen to marry you!"
Leng Ning thought of Jin Yichen and felt much better, playfully winking at Li Si: "My brother-in-law sent you some seafood and immediately won you over! Whose side are you on?"
"Of course I’m on the side of whoever treats me well! You know—’don’t bite the hand that feeds you!’"
"Sis-in-law!!" Leng Ning called out in mock protest.
The doorbell rang at that moment. The two exchanged glances, both suspecting it was Leng Qiankai.
And sure enough, it was precisely Leng Qiankai who had arrived. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
