#Qiu Baizhen Arrested#

But for safety's sake, the doctor still asked her to remain in the hospital for observation for a few days.

Mrs. Ji lay in the hospital room. Ji Peng arrived late, and as Mrs. Ji looked at his face, those two similar-looking photographs surfaced in her mind again.

She turned her head and closed her eyes, unwilling to look at Ji Peng's face any longer.

After a while, Ji Peng was called away by a phone call. Mrs. Ji looked at Mo Xiang, who had stayed behind at the hospital to care for her, and said weakly, "Xiao Mo, could you go home and bring me the sealed bag I left on the sofa?"

Whether her guess was right or not, she had to investigate it herself.

Mo Xiang moved quickly and brought the sealed bag over in less than an hour.

Mrs. Ji opened the sealed bag and saw information she had not noticed before.

Just then, the doctor came in to make the rounds.

There was no one else in the room. Mrs. Ji looked at the doctor and asked, "Doctor, I have a question."

"What are the chances that a child born to parents with type B and type O blood will have type A blood?"

Chapter 31 #Qiu Baizhen Arrested#

Mrs. Ji did not understand anything about dominant and recessive genes or chromosomal inheritance. She only understood one sentence: parents with type B and type O blood could not have a child with type A blood.

Perhaps because Mrs. Ji's expression was rather frightening, the doctor added uneasily, "These blood type inheritance rules aren't absolute either. I've seen reports before where parents with type A and type O blood had a child with type B blood."

It was just that the odds were even lower than winning the lottery jackpot.

It was fine when she had not suspected anything in that direction, but once she did, Mrs. Ji thought of many small details she had overlooked.

Ji Peng was her second child. During the time she had been pregnant, she seemed to have heard someone mention that Qiu Baizhen was pregnant too. But afterward, she never heard anyone bring it up again, nor had she seen any other children around Qiu Baizhen, so she had not taken it to heart.

When she gave birth to her second child, she accidentally slipped and fell, causing the baby to be born prematurely. Her condition had been somewhat dangerous then, and she had not had time to glance at the child when he was born. She had only heard a faint cry.

But when she returned to the hospital room, she found that the baby in the swaddling clothes was very sturdy, about the same as a normal full-term infant. At the time, she had merely been relieved that the child was healthy and had not thought much of it.

Ji Peng had also been very close to her when he was young. But after he turned ten, there seemed to be some distance between them. Over the years, Ji Peng had shown her more respect than affection. She had only thought that he had grown up and become closer to his father.

Previously, Ji Peng had had private dealings with Qiu Baizhen, and Mrs. Ji had even suspected that they might have had that kind of improper relationship. But now that she thought about it, Ji Peng's relationship with Qiu Baizhen might not have been what she had previously assumed.

And there was his blood type...

Mrs. Ji had watched many melodramatic dramas before. Plots about switched babies and fake heiresses were hardly uncommon in them.

Deep down, she felt that something so absurd could never happen in real life. But what had happened recently could not help making her think otherwise.

After hesitating for a long time, Mrs. Ji contacted that private investigator that afternoon. She found a way to obtain Qiu Baizhen's DNA sample. After being discharged from the hospital, she took away Ji Peng's used toothbrush and sent it, along with Qiu Baizhen's sample and her own, for DNA testing.

DNA test results came back quickly these days, and Mrs. Ji soon received the reports.

Mrs. Ji wore a simple suit that day, without a single piece of jewelry on her. She stood in the testing center, holding two DNA reports in her hands.

One report showed that Sample One and Sample Two had a parent-child relationship, while the other showed—no parent-child relationship.

Ji Peng really was not her child!

Even though she had mentally prepared herself before reading the reports, Mrs. Ji still found it hard to accept the truth: the child she had raised as her own for more than thirty years was not her biological son!

Mrs. Ji felt dizzy and stumbled. Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind her and steadied her.

"Thank you..." Mrs. Ji regained her balance, then turned and suddenly saw a familiar pair of eyes.

Chu Xiyue withdrew her hand and nodded at her. "Auntie Ji, be careful."

"Why are you here?" Mrs. Ji clutched the test reports in her hand and stared at Chu Xiyue with wide eyes.

Mrs. Ji stared at Chu Xiyue. She remembered that it was because of Chu Xiyue's few words that she had begun to suspect something. At the time, she had not had the leisure to think much about it and had merely considered it a coincidence. But now that she thought carefully—was it really a coincidence?

Thinking of the test results in her hand, Mrs. Ji burned with anger and urgently asked Chu Xiyue, "Xiao Chu, tell me, did you know about this all along?!"

Chu Xiyue did not deny it. "I found out about it by accident before, but if I had told you the truth directly, you probably wouldn't have believed it."

That was why she had guided Mrs. Ji little by little into becoming suspicious, letting her investigate it herself.

Chu Xiyue looked at Mrs. Ji and asked, "Auntie Ji, what are you planning to do from now on?"

Chu Xiyue could not gauge Mrs. Ji's thoughts. She did not know whether Mrs. Ji intended to let the matter pass for the sake of their years of affection and continue treating Ji Peng as her son, or whether she wanted to make the truth public.

If she chose the former, Chu Xiyue would respect her choice and wish her well. If she chose the latter, Chu Xiyue would do her best to help her.

What was she planning to do?

Mrs. Ji froze. She lowered her head and looked at the two test reports in her hands, feeling lost for a moment.

When she thought of how the son she had raised for so many years, into whom she had poured all her heart and effort, was not her son at all but the son of her husband's mistress, her heart hurt so badly that she could barely breathe.

How could more than thirty years of affection be cast aside just like that?

But for her to pretend that nothing had happened—how could she possibly pretend that nothing had happened?

Mrs. Ji thought of the surveillance footage the private investigator had sent her: Ji Peng, Ji Guowei, and Qiu Baizhen getting along harmoniously.
