Chapter 498: Chapter 415: As If It Never Happened
On the way home, Jin Jiachao and Jin Yichen talked about their investigation direction.
First, go for DNA testing, then split into two groups. One group goes to Li Si’s hometown in North City to investigate, and the other group goes to the hospital in Shandong and the Li Family Aunt mentioned by Li Si.
Perhaps they could uncover some useful information.
But given that Li Si’s wedding banquet is in a few days, something they were unaware of before, now, as close relatives, they must make every effort to attend.
So this matter is temporarily put on hold until after her wedding banquet when they will personally take people to investigate.
After sending in the samples, Jin Jiachao let out a sigh of relief. From the moment he learned about the Jade Pendant to their racing to Li Si’s house,
his heart really couldn’t handle it. He quickly took out heart medication from his pocket and swallowed two pills.
He couldn’t afford to get sick now; this was such a good thing! If the test results confirmed the child was his sister’s granddaughter,
then he could consider it completing his parents’ and sister’s dying wish in his lifetime.
"Yichen! Even though the child doesn’t want to acknowledge us, you must treat her as family! You know, if it weren’t for your relationship with Xiao Ning, she might not refuse to acknowledge us!"
Jin Jiachao was caught in a dilemma; from his sister’s perspective, he certainly hoped to acknowledge them.
But seeing his son, who finally had a girlfriend, should he tell Leng Qiankai that his daughter-in-law is his junior, and he’s his nephew or grand-nephew?
The thought of that scene made him afraid to look.
"Old man! Don’t worry! From now on, she’s my little sister!"
"What little sister?" Fine! Let them decide how to rank it, as long as he and Xiao Ning are doing well in the future.
Seeing Little Buding today, he really adored him, thinking to himself if Yichen and Xiao Ning also gave him such a wonderful grandson, he could wake up laughing from his sleep!
"Drive faster! I need to get home and think about what wedding gift to give!" Jin Jiachao thought of this, anxiously ordering his son, the gloom on his face long gone.
Jin Yichen cheerfully replied, "Got it! Sit tight, old man!!"
After returning home, Mrs. Leng told Wang Meishu about her son’s thoughts, and Wang Meishu automatically ignored any unfavorable words, taking it as if Leng Mochen had given a positive response, with everything already arranged, so she could contact the investment manager directly.
However, she was savvy and tactful enough not to act immediately. After all, the wedding banquet is in a few days, and that investment manager might also attend. By then, she could let everyone at the wedding see the relationship her family has with the boss’s family.
Then, whatever she does will be twice as effective with half the effort.
After Mrs. Leng informed her, Wang Meishu expressed her gratitude and mentioned a few relatives from her own family who would attend the wedding banquet.
Mrs. Leng was puzzled, as she thought Wang Meishu only had an elderly mother left in the country.
After listening to Wang Meishu, she understood. Who doesn’t have a few distant relatives? So Mrs. Leng gave her some invitations and got busy with other matters.
This was the first formal wedding in her family, and there must not be any mistakes or errors.
Regarding Li Si’s relatives on her side, Li Si didn’t want to invite them, which Mrs. Leng initially found somewhat uncalled for.
She thought this daughter-in-law was being a bit too cold-hearted, wasn’t she? Even if relations weren’t good or close, how could no one be invited to such a significant occasion as a wedding?
Later, Mochen expressed his strong dislike for those people and didn’t want them attending, causing any displeasure.
She thought about it and agreed. After all, on the wedding day, those who attend with invitations must be prominent figures.
If Li Si’s relatives attended, they would definitely be out of place.
If they happened to say or do something inappropriate, it would be truly embarrassing.
Then, wouldn’t everyone in the circle watch the spectacle?
Just then, Leng Ning returned from outside, and Mrs. Leng couldn’t help but ask, "Did you just come back from your brother’s place?"
They had returned hours ago, and who knows where this kid had run off to play.
"Yes! I stayed a bit longer playing with Buding! Mom, don’t you think that child is just adorable?" Leng Ning evaded cunningly. She wouldn’t mention everything that just happened to her mother.
As her sister-in-law suggested, let’s just pretend it never happened, and everyone will continue to interact as before.
It’s not that she’s being selfish, but her sister-in-law is doing well now, and acknowledging the Jin Family might stir up some troublesome matters.
Moreover, once their parents knew about the relationship between them, could they still accept Jin Yichen as they do now?
Especially since there’s that complicated entanglement between dad and Mr. Jin.
Even if there’s no opposition now, sometimes dad still looks at Jin Yichen with a complicated expression.
If he knew he might become Mr. Jin’s junior, could he accept that?
Besides, there might have been some mysterious conspiracy when her sister-in-law’s father went missing all those years ago.
Acknowledging each other might bring danger!
And are relatives really that easy to get along with? Just like that aunt living at home, she really has no words left to complain.
She wants to get involved in everything, regardless of whether she’s suitable or not.
And that Ouyang Hongming, how could he be like this? Since returning, he hasn’t been idle, quickly becoming acquainted with a few kids of the same age in the neighborhood, and hasn’t been seen for days.
Mrs. Leng gave her a sidelong glance, "Of course! Which family’s child is better than our Buding? By the way, Xiao Ning, your second granduncle and his people are likely to come over the day after tomorrow. You’ll help entertain them when the time comes, right? You and that Leng Shuang get along well, don’t you?"
"I’m okay with her! Mom! She changed her name to Leng Shuang, didn’t you know? Make sure you don’t call her wrongly when you meet!" Leng Ning tilted her head, recalling Leng Shuang, unable to suppress the smile on her face.
Although they were relatives in Beijing, their families hardly interacted, only meeting during the New Year.
In recent years, Leng Shuang went to Shanghai for college, making their meetings even rarer.
If it weren’t for her brother’s wedding, she might have forgotten all the fun things about Leng Shuang.
This girl had always been displeased with her name, with an already cold last name followed by a frost character in her given name! Who were they trying to freeze to death?
She finally got her parents to reluctantly change her name after endless crying, tantrums, and pretending to hang herself at home.
However, in Leng Ning’s opinion, the newly changed Leng Shuang didn’t sound as good as the previous cold frost.
Mrs. Leng also remembered the past and nodded with amusement, "Alright! Alright! I’ll be sure to pay attention! Otherwise, that little girl will not let it go!" Then she talked with her about matters concerning the wedding.
The next day, Jiang Fan arrived, and in Li Si’s view, she was still the same person, but the sharpness in her eyes had diminished quite a bit.
Perhaps she had learned abroad to conceal her strengths deeply, or maybe she had experienced enough to become more serene overall.
She was no longer as aggressive as before, giving off an intimidating aura.
Upon meeting, Jiang Fan looked at Li Si with a smile at the corners of her mouth, listening to Li Si and Bai Shasha’s complaints about her with calm indifference. (To be continued.
