Chapter 445 - 383: Paternity Test, the Past is Like Smoke

Even though he was mentally prepared, Wu Yun was still deeply shaken when he saw the person in the photograph.

Wu Yun saw the person in the photo, who was smiling as if looking right at him. The face was incredibly familiar—yes! He was the spitting image of the person in the picture, though with some minor differences.

Yu Min observed the changing expressions on Wu Yun’s face, which made her even more certain of her suspicions.

"Do you have a birthmark on your back? An oval-shaped one?" Yu Min stared at Wu Yun’s face as she spoke.

Wu Yun swallowed and nodded with some difficulty. In his past life, he had fantasized more than once about meeting his biological parents, but now that it was actually happening, even he felt completely at a loss, unsure what to do.

"I—"

Yu Min emotionally wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "It’s okay. I know this is a lot for you to accept all at once."

Wu Yun opened his mouth, hesitating, unsure of how to address Yu Min. He then said, "Could you go with me to get a paternity test?"

When Yu Min heard this, she completely understood his reasoning. She also wanted to further confirm their relationship, so she nodded in agreement without a second thought.

Seeing Wu Yun still standing there in a daze, Yu Min offered a gentle smile and said, "Go on, eat! After we finish, we’ll go to a professional DNA testing center."

Wu Yun nodded, picked up a piece of pork rib with his chopsticks, but after a few bites, he found he had no appetite.

He looked up and saw Yu Min watching him with a peculiar gaze, one that evoked an indescribable feeling. ’Is this what a mother’s loving gaze looks like?’

"You should eat something too! We’ll probably have to get our blood drawn later!" Wu Yun felt he really couldn’t bring himself to call her "Mom" just yet.

But Yu Min didn’t seem to mind. She just smiled and said, "Alright, alright! Let’s eat together!"

「Ten-plus minutes later.」

They both put down their chopsticks at almost the same time. Wu Yun turned to Wang Hao, who was smiling and chatting with Xiaoliu, and said, "Wang Hao! Go pay the bill."

Without needing any instruction from Yu Min, Xiaoliu, who was standing nearby, quickly got up and followed.

「Parking Lot.」

Two bodyguards opened the car door for Yu Min.

Yu Min stood by the open car door. When she saw Wu Yun get into the driver’s seat of a white sports car not far away, she wasn’t surprised, already knowing something of his situation. She immediately turned and walked toward his car.

"The rest of you just follow behind us!"

When Wu Yun saw Yu Min standing in front of his car, he stuck his head out and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Yu Min smiled. "I’ll ride with you! The two of us will go first, and the others can just follow behind."

After getting into the car, Yu Min noticed some distinctly feminine touches, like the delicate air vent fresheners. The scent was not something a man would typically choose.

"Do you have a girlfriend!?" A smile spread across Yu Min’s face. After nineteen years of longing for her child, from the moment she saw Wu Yun, she had already accepted him as her own.

So, as a mother, she was very happy for her child’s future.

Wu Yun patiently explained, "I do."

Yu Min chuckled and continued to ask, "Where is she from? Where does she go to school!?"

After pulling the car onto the road, Wu Yun scratched his head and said, "Which one are you asking about?"

Yu Min’s expression froze for a moment, then she broke into a smile. "Not bad. No matter how many daughters-in-law you bring home, I can afford to support them!"

Wu Yun turned his head and saw that Yu Min didn’t seem to be joking. Having seen that she had bodyguards and a secretary, Wu Yun knew her status was anything but simple. He asked, "I haven’t asked what it is you do yet!"

Yu Min fiddled with the charm hanging in front of her and said, "Some things in energy and mining. And of course, a few other businesses. You’ll find out more later!"

As she spoke, Yu Min smiled. "After we go to the Capital City and you meet your grandfather and your maternal grandparents, I’ll start teaching you to take over the company!"

Wu Yun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "Let’s talk about that later! I can barely manage my own companies as it is!"

"Alright, alright! Then Mom will manage them for you for now. We can talk about it again whenever you feel like taking over!"

The two chatted idly as they drove, and they soon arrived at the DNA testing center shown on the navigation.

After filling out a lot of paperwork and providing identification, Wu Yun and Yu Min were finally directed to have several vials of blood drawn.

「Two to three hours later.」

The moment she saw the results on the report, Yu Min could no longer hold back. She grabbed Wu Yun’s hand and said, "Dodo! I’ve been looking for you for nineteen years! By this June, it will have been nineteen years!"

Tears streamed down Yu Min’s face uncontrollably as she said, "Every year, I would come to Jingyang once or twice to visit the place where your father was killed."

"As for finding you, I spent so much time and money. I hired people, private investigators, but nothing came of it. In recent years, I was even starting to give up hope. I truly thought you had been killed by the kidnappers!" As she spoke, Yu Min let out a couple of sobs.

Yu Min continued, as if to herself, "I never expected this... It’s true that heaven always leaves a path open! To think I would find you right back where it all started!"

"Dodo!"

Yu Min quickly collected herself, wiped her tears, and smiled. "Your surname is Qian. Your full name is Qian Hongyu, and your nickname is Dodo."

This stunned Wu Yun. ’I can’t believe I’m the legendary Qian Duoduo!’

Seeing the look on Wu Yun’s face, Yu Min thought he was unwilling to change his name back. She quickly added, "It’s alright, you can keep using your current name. After we meet your grandfather and your maternal grandparents, I’m sure they’ll understand!"

Holding the report, Yu Min quickly snapped a few photos of the crucial pages right in front of Wu Yun. The first thing she did was send a message to the family group chat.
