A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

Pei Ziheng also went out.

The silence was a bit strange in the long and empty corridor. Xia Ling looked at the man in front of her and was the first to break the silence. “Were you the one who told the doctor to conceal Shaohui’s blood type?” Although she was not smart, she was not so stupid and guessed what had happened.

Pei Ziheng already predicted that she was going to ask for it after Shaohui was hurt.

At this time, he replied unhurriedly, “Conceal Shaohui’s blood type? Why would I do something so mindless? This blood type is very rare, and it’s possible that the hospital misdiagnosed it for some time. Xiao Ling, there’s no need for me to hide it from you. He’s not even your child. Your child… is gone.”

He found a relatively mild way to explain it.

However, Xia Ling continued to glare angrily at him. “You’re lying!”

“Why would I lie?” He frowned and looked at her sternly as if he were disciplining a disobedient child, just like he did countless times before in the past when she threw a tantrum.

He really acted very well.

In reality, he was also surprised because he did not expect this child to run into trouble so quickly.

When he asked the doctor to lie that her child’s blood type was O, he considered the possible consequences. At that time, he was betting on the fact that it was unlikely that her child would encounter an accident that would require a blood transfusion. Many people never had a blood transfusion in their lifetimes. Unexpectedly, sometime later, Shaohui encountered one.

Perhaps it was destined.

Pei Ziheng was somewhat worried about the child, but only slightly. If the child died, he would be sad for a while and burn some incense for him. But that’s it.

It was unfortunate that he was Xiao Ling’s child with another man.

His existence was a sin.

Pei Ziheng calmly told Xia Ling, “You’re too tired, that’s why you’re overthinking it.”

Xia Ling was full of doubt and stared at Pei Ziheng intently, trying to see if she could see any clues from his expression. However, she was destined to be disappointed. This man knew how to conceal his emotions well and she could not see anything off.

Finally, Xia Ling gave up.

“It better not be you.” She said, “I don’t want to fall out with you to an irreconcilable state.”

Pei Ziheng was slightly alarmed. “How could it be?”

She did not gain any information from this conversation. After this, she asked Lin Yunan to investigate the misdiagnosis of her child’s blood type. She needed the hospital to give her an explanation. Lin Yunan consulted a team of lawyers and they tried their best to negotiate with the hospital.

The matter ended with the resignation of the doctor.

However, Xia Ling’s heart started to feel empty and uncertain. Was this really not related to Pei Ziheng?

Privately, she went to look for that doctor. However, Doctor Chen only said, “That day, I was just feeling exhausted from work and caused a misdiagnosis. I’m really sorry. Mr. Pei? He didn’t even say much to me. How could such a good man hurt such an innocent child? Why do you think this way?” Although he took the blame and resigned, he was still under Pei Ziheng’s radar and did not dare to say anything.

Xia Ling was destined to make a futile trip.

Since this had already happened, sapped a lot of her energy and the investigation turning futile, she decided not to pursue it. As long as Shaohui was fine, nothing else mattered.

Furthermore, she was still concerned with something more important.

The next day, Wei Shaoyin came looking for her.

In a dignified manner, he took Xia Ling from the ward to the lounge. “This child is actually your own, Xiao Ling? What exactly is going on? Didn’t your child die four years ago?”

The news was too shocking to him.

Xia Ling was too busy to pay attention to what he said but after hearing the words “your own,” she was filled with joy and excitement. “Really?” Her voice shook uncontrollably as she looked eagerly at Wei Shaoyin. “Is Shaohui really my biological child?”

Wei Shaoyin nodded. “A hundred percent. To prevent any mistakes, I went to two different laboratories to do the identification test. Both results are the same.” He could only do this because he was the young master of the Wei Family and had special privileges. If an ordinary person tried to do this, they would not be able to make two labs do the same test. In fact, the security personnel would chase them out after they requested high profile researchers to do such an insignificant test.

Xia Ling was so happy that she wept.

Wei Shaoyin disdainfully said, “You look awful.”

However, she did not care about how she looked anymore. She looked at the results of the identification test and was thrilled. She saw that her DNA matched Shaohui’s and the other man’s DNA also matched Shaohui’s. There was no doubt that this child was hers and Li Lei’s!

Wei Shaoyin was somewhat curious. “Is this really your child who died four years ago? What exactly happened that year? Why is he still alive and was even coincidentally adopted by you?”

Xia Ling shook her head as she also did not know what was going on.

She put down the report. After some thought, she suddenly recalled that she never saw the child’s corpse that year. All of the photos were of the dead child’s miserable condition which Pei Ziheng asked his staff to describe to her.

Could it be that Pei Ziheng lied?

He already knew that her child was not dead!

Xia Ling’s eyes widened. In this case, everything made sense. Four years ago, Pei Ziheng did not want to let her know that her child was still alive! It could be that after finding out that Shaohui was allergic to synthetic fibers, he chose to hide her child’s blood type so that she would not be able to find out the truth!

She took out her phone and called Lin Yunan. “Look for a private investigator to dig into the blood type case carefully!”

She had to clarify everything. If Pei Ziheng was this cruel, she would never let him get close to Shaohui again in the future! Four years… A complete four years…

His lie made her miserable!

There was unspeakable anger in her heart and she could not wait to interrogate Pei Ziheng, but she had to restrain her impulses because there were more important things at hand.

It was imperative that she went to visit Shaohui to take a good look at the child who she was separated from for so long.

Xia Ling hurriedly rushed back and pushed the door of the ward open.

In the ward, Li Lei was shocked by her appearance. “Xiao Ling?”

Ignoring Li Lei, she stood at the doorway and stared at the small child on the hospital bed. He looked so small and thin. He was already five years old but was not as strong as Li Rui who was not even four years old… How much pain did he endure during these years? Her tears streamed down.

Li Lei became nervous. Although he was still weak, he struggled to sit up. “Xiao Ling, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me.”

Step by step, Xia Ling walked towards the child. She reached out a shaking hand and carefully stroked the child’s cheek. The sleeping child was very quiet, and his soft eyelashes cast a fine shadow on her hand. She stroked his eyebrows and touched his small body. It was a very honest and soft touch. This was her Shaohui, her blood-related baby.
