At Gu Yanchu's signal, the staff members looked respectfully at Jiang Mingxi.
"According to our test results, the DNA similarity between you and Mr. Bai Zheming is 49.87%."
Gao Le held the treasure chest, his eyes wide open.
A look of utter disappointment.
"Huh? You and Teacher Bai aren't brothers?"
[Huh? No way? Oh my god! The atmosphere was just right, and it's not?]
[I was already imagining the family reunion scene that followed, but it wasn't like that?]
[I even thought Jiang Mingxi and Bai Zheming had similar eyebrows and eyes, but they're not?]
[Is Bai Zheming alright? He seemed really off ever since he started talking about the fire.]
[Indeed, he was so young then, and his parents and younger brother were gone overnight. And have you noticed that in the TV dramas Bai Zheming has acted in over the past few years, all the characters he's played have both parents and a younger brother?]
[Holy crap, sis, you're killing me!]
[ Jiang Mingxi was being held by Song Lan, who was comforting Jiang Mingxi the whole time, while Bai Zheming Song Lan just stood there by himself. Even when Jiang Mingxi left earlier, Bai Zheming didn't move an inch. I was so upset I almost cried.]
[They're not blood brothers after all! Oh my god, Bai Zheming's heart is breaking.]
Gao Le shouted it out.
Song Lan clearly felt Jiang Mingxi shiver in his arms. Then, Jiang Mingxi turned to look at him, her dark eyes filled with pleading.
Before Jiang Mingxi could speak, Song Lan hugged him tightly, kissed him on the cheek, and then looked at Gu Yanchu, "Forty-nine percent..."
Bai Zheming's face was so pale that it could no longer be called white, but rather ashen.
After Gao Le shouted, he unconsciously staggered half a step backward.
That's a sign that you can't stand still.
He frowned, as if all his strength was concentrated in his eyes, and was about to speak when Song Lan spoke first.
Bai Zheming stared intently at Gu Yanchu.
Gu Yanchu gave Gao Le a reproachful look and said in a reprimanding voice, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know. If two brothers have a DNA test and the similarity is around 50%, they can be determined to be brothers."
Gao Le was reprimanded by Gu Yanchu's cold voice, and his hair stood on end. Clutching the treasure chest, he looked helpless and embarrassed. "Ah? I, I didn't know. I thought it had to be one hundred percent."
Gu Yanchu's voice remained cold, "I don't know, yet you speak with such certainty?"
Then he scoffed, "It's just to grab attention, isn't it!"
Gao Le opened his mouth, but under the intense pressure of Gu Yanchu, his heart trembled and he couldn't speak for a moment.
Bai Zheming, who had just been sentenced to death and awaiting beheading, had a deep sense of despair on his face. But now, Gu Yanchu's words were like a "resurrection" technique, making Bai Zheming's eyes light up.
He stepped forward, his voice urgent and trembling as he asked, "So, Xiaoxi, he, he..."
That answer weighed heavily on my heart.
The words, once spoken, carry a vulnerability that cannot withstand even the slightest mishap.
Bai Zheming spoke almost word by word.
" Jiang Mingxi is my younger brother?"
Song Lan could clearly feel Jiang Mingxi's entire body stiffen in his arms. After Bai Zheming asked the question, she even stopped breathing and just waited.
He hugged him from behind, his chin rubbing against Jiang Mingxi's shoulder and neck, offering him some warmth.
Gu Yanchu didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "According to this test result, yes, you are brothers."
He paused for a moment, then explained, "Because offspring's genes are half from the father and half from the mother, on average, siblings share half of their genes. However, during the inheritance process, gene recombination occurs, so even siblings have genetic differences. Only identical twins have a DNA similarity of 99%."
[Holy crap, is it too much for me to kill Gao Le?]
[ Gao Le, you bastard! Come and die! Damn it! Bai Zheming's face just now almost broke my heart; he immediately burst into tears.]
[I dare not think about it. If it weren't true, what would Bai Zheming do? He's thought his brother was dead all these years, and suddenly there's hope. What if he were disappointed...? Oh well, thank goodness it is!]
[I'm so angry! Gao Le, you damn fool!]
The comments section was flooded with messages.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Bai Zheming turned to look at Jiang Mingxi.
The emotions that had been held back in her eyes finally broke free in that instant, turning into tears that rolled down her cheeks.
He took a step closer to Jiang Mingxi, his lips trembling, his voice trembling, and reached out to take Jiang Mingxi hand, " Xiaoxi."
Jiang Mingxi was held in Song Lan Song Lan's arms, leaning against him, and looked down at her fingers as Bai Zheming took her hand.
" Xiaoxi," Bai Zheming called out again.
Jiang Mingxi slowly raised her eyes, and her gaze met Bai Zheming's.
Bai Zheming, tears streaming down his face, smiled at him, "It's my brother."
The smile couldn't hold back the tears, "Brother is late, Xiaoxi has suffered so much."
[Oh my god, I can't hold it in anymore, I'm going to cry so hard.]
[ Jiang Mingxi really suffered a lot. She was bullied by the college couple and abused by the Jiang Family. Her wrists are covered with scars from purple clay.]
[ Bai Zheming wasn't much better off. Look at all the dramas he's acted in over the years, damn it, I didn't realize it before, but now I think it was all self-torture.]
[May the kind-hearted Bodhisattva grant them some sweetness!]
Song Lan gently nudged Jiang Mingxi and said softly, " Xiaoxi, it's your brother now. Our Xiaoxi has a brother, she's no longer all alone."
The chubby boy is probably a little over four years old.
She clung to a large iron gate, crying her heart out.
"I don't want to stay in the orphanage, I want to go home, I want to go home, I want to go back to my own home!"
There was a little boy next to him who looked a head taller than the chubby boy.
She's not fat, she's actually quite thin.
In a childish voice, he said, "You don't have your own home anymore, this is your home. From now on, the headmistress will be your mother, and I will be your brother."
The chubby boy cried so hard that his snot was smeared all over the big iron gate.
"No, I don't want you to be my brother! I have a brother, I have my own brother! I want to find my brother! Brother! Brother! Can't you hear me? Come and get Xiaoxi! I want to go home! I want to go home!"
"The headmistress did exactly as you said, she posted missing person notices. If your brother sees them, he'll definitely come looking for you. He hasn't come for half a year. Your brother doesn't want you anymore."
The chubby boy cried loudly.
He plopped down on the ground.
"My brother wants me, he wants me! Xiaoxi, be good! My brother wants me! He wants me!"
Jiang Mingxi couldn't control the images appearing in her mind.
It made the little chubby kid in my head cry until he had a headache.
But Song Lan said that the chubby boy was the original owner of this body.
He looked at Bai Zheming and spoke up for the original owner of this body, "The orphanage director posted so many missing person notices back then, why didn't you come to claim me?"
Song Lan glanced at Bai Zheming and quickly coaxed, "He was very young back then, and couldn't make decisions for himself in everything..."
Bai Zheming interrupted Song Lan, looking at Jiang Mingxi with a sharp pain in his heart, "Did Xixi look for her brother?"
