Chapter 392: Family (2)
After Zhao Youlin said that, except for the old master, everyone in the office was dumbfounded.
A dead silence began to spread in the office. It took quite a long while before they finally recovered themselves.
Duan Yarong looked at Zhao Youlin with a stiff expression on her face, and then she shifted her gaze to Han Yichen, who was standing beside Zhao Youlin. It took her a long time before she seemed to find her voice again. She said in a low voice, “You…You Lin, what did you just say? You said he…he…”
“Mom, you heard me right. I just said that this man next to me is your’s and Dad’s son, your biological son.”
“How is that possible?” When she heard the same words the second time, her initial surprise had completely turned into the exasperated absurdity of being fooled.
Duan Yarong’s expression was gloomy. For the first time ever, she spoke to Zhao Youlin in a stern manner, “This is impossible. Your father and I never had any children at all. How would we suddenly have such a biological son at this age? You cannot joke about this kind of thing, Youlin!”
She had come with Zhao Shunrong to the company very early today. Just shortly after they sat down in the office, Xiao Jingyao ran over, saying that Zhao Youlin had an urgent matter for the two of them. She had asked them to hurry over to her office.
When they saw Xiao Jingyao looking so anxious, they thought something had happened to Zhao Youlin. They did not think about anything else, as they just dropped everything they were working on and rushed over to her office.
They did not expect that they would hear such ridiculous words from Zhao Youlin in the end!
When Han Yichen heard the conversation between Duan Yarong and Zhao Youlin, he had also recovered from his initial surprise. He gave Zhao Youlin an unfriendly glare and said in a cold voice, “I think I also need a reasonable explanation.”
“Mom, please calm down first. This matter is indeed true. President Han is really your’s and Dad’s biological son.”
Zhao Youlin did not expect Duan Yarong would have such a big reaction after knowing the truth, and she did not expect it to be this kind of reaction. For a moment, she suddenly did not know what to do. All she could do was turn her gaze of help to the only person present who also knew the truth.
Fortunately, the old master came prepared today. Seeing that Zhao Youlin did not know how to explain to Duan Yarong, the old master coughed lightly and took a paper bag from Uncle Zhao’s hand.
Then he walked up to them and sighed. “What Youlin said is true.”
“Dad…” Zhao Shunrong and Duan Yarong’s faces changed slightly. They looked at the old master in disbelief.
Without saying much, the old master handed the document bag in his hand to the couple and said in a low voice, “Take a look at it.”
Duan Yarong and her husband exchanged glances with each other. After hesitating for a moment, they still opened the document bag in their hands.
Inside the document bag were two documents that were sufficient to prove the relationship between the couple and Han Yichen. It was the result of the paternity test that Zhao Youlin and the old man secretly did for the three in the first place.
Duan Yarong’s face was still a little gloomy, but after reading the contents of the document bag, especially the DNA result of her relationship with Han Yichen, the expression on Duan Yarong’s face froze.
“This…you… how is this possible? How could you…” Duan Yarong glanced at the DNA result in her hand. And then, she looked up at Han Yichen who was standing right across from her.
She just felt her mind go blank. She kept staring at Han Yichen and was unable to utter anything for a long time.
How was it possible that she had a son? The son of her and Zhao Shunrong… Over twenty years ago, their son had clearly…
Han Yichen’s surprise at the moment was not less than Duan Yarong’s. He had grown up as an orphan and could never have imagined that he would suddenly have parents one day.
When Zhao Youlin said that he was their son, Han Yichen had only thought it was an over-the-top joke, but now that he saw the DNA test result in the hands of them…
The only one who could still be considered calm was Zhao Shunrong. He clutched the DNA result in his hand tightly. His gaze swept over Han Yichen before it finally fixed on Zhao Youlin and the old master.
“Youlin, Dad, what the heck is going on here?”
Uncle Zhao and Xiao Jingyao, who had come together with the old master, were also surprised by this sudden change of event. However, in this matter, they were only outsiders, so they just silently stood aside and did not say anything.
“Everyone, sit down first. Youlin and I will give you a good explanation for this matter.” The old master waved at his son and daughter-in-law and told them to sit down first.
Then, he turned his head and gave a profound look at his newly recognized eldest grandson and smiled faintly. “You too, sit down.”
Although Han Yichen’s face was a little dark, he still listened to the old master and sat back in his original seat, which was opposite of Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong.
“Youlin…” Duan Yarong was still a bit incredulous. She stared intently at Han Yichen, who was sitting opposite of her, as if she was trying to confirm whether she was imagining things at the moment.
For anyone who had accepted the fact that they could not leave a son or daughter for their beloved in this life was suddenly told that they actually had a son in his twenties, it was only natural for them to find the whole situation very surreal.
Zhao Youlin and the old master sat on top of another sofa on the other side.
Seeing the hint of hope and worry hidden beneath Duan Yarong’s eyes, Zhao Youlinss felt a little hesitant. While she was feeling sorry, she started to bring up the past that could be considered the deepest pain in Duan Yarong’s heart.
“Mom, do you remember the baby you gave birth to in the hospital twenty years ago?”
Duan Yarong’s body shook violently. Apparently, even though it was twenty years ago, when the event of that time was mentioned again, it still brought an indescribable shock to the heart of a mother who had once lost all her hope after she lost her child. One could imagine how devastated she was back then.
Zhao Shunrong sat on the side and saw her like this, he could not help but frown. He reached out and pulled the person into his arms, comforting her in his own unique way.
Duan Yarong’s face was slightly pale. She gradually recovered under Zhao Shunrong’s comfort. She spoke with some difficulty, “Of course I remember.”
The calmness that she tried her best to maintain collapsed completely after she heard what Zhao Youlin told her next.
“Mom, the baby you gave birth to in the hospital back then was not a sleeping baby.”
“What?” This time, Duan Yarong could no longer maintain her usual dignified and elegant demeanor. She stood up from the couch with a scuffle, reaching out to grab Zhao Youlin, hoping that she could elaborate on what she told her.
The child she gave birth to in the hospital did not die? How is that possible? At that time, she clearly watched the doctor carry away her cold, non-breathing child from her side.
But that being said, a glimmer of hope still emerged in Duan Yarong’s heart because of what Zhao Youlin said.
Her child is not dead. Her child is not dead. Where was her child taken then? And where is he now?
