Chapter 615 I Think, Our Purpose Is the Same (2)

Shen Nian smiled and shook her head. Of course, she wouldn’t think ill of Gu Yaohui over something like this.

In fact, Shen Nian would only pray sincerely for the Gu Family, hoping they could find the real Gu Ke’er as soon as possible.

"I’m glad you understand. I’ll come pick you up again next time."

"Okay. Thank you for bringing me back, Brother Gu. You have my dorm’s phone number, so you can just call me directly to set up a time."

"Alright."

After watching Shen Nian go into her dorm, Gu Hengzhi turned and left, returning to the Gu family home.

"Hengzhi, before... why did you..."

Gu Yaohui had been waiting for Gu Hengzhi to return. As soon as he saw Gu Hengzhi walk in, he couldn’t wait to ask.

"Uncle, Xiao Nian isn’t like us. If you had continued, it would have surely troubled her."

"But what if she really is my daughter? Your cousin?"

"But we have no evidence right now. Even our previous investigation hasn’t made any progress. Guessing that Shen Nian is Ke’er is nothing more than wishful thinking on our part."

"Even so, does that mean we can’t acknowledge her until we find proof? What if we never find any? Are you saying we can never claim her as our own?"

Gu Yaohui looked at Gu Hengzhi, his heart filled with genuine anxiety. He had suspected others in the past, but the feeling had never been this intense.

"Of course not! Uncle, I’ve heard that they have a relatively mature DNA testing technology in Country M now. It can confirm the blood relationship between immediate family members."

"Really? Then what are we waiting for? Get in touch with them!"

"I’m already on it. When the time comes, I’ll send over test samples from Xiao Nian, as well as from you and Aunt. It’s just that getting the results will likely take some time."

"As long as we can get the results, that’s all that matters. I’ve waited for more than ten years already; I can wait a little longer."

Knowing Gu Hengzhi had a plan, Gu Yaohui suddenly felt a great sense of relief.

They would continue searching for clues from all those years ago until they found proof. And now, this DNA test gave them a clear path forward when they had been lost and confused.

"Hengzhi, it’s been so hard on you all these years!"

Gu Yaohui said, patting Gu Hengzhi’s shoulder. The burden of the Gu family had rested on Gu Hengzhi’s shoulders for so many years. If it weren’t for him, who knows what would have become of the Gu family!

"It’s no trouble at all, Uncle. As long as our family is okay, then none of it is a hardship for me."

"Good child!"

Gu Yaohui looked at Gu Hengzhi with deep gratification and nodded repeatedly.

Just as they finished speaking, a faint, weak voice suddenly came from the staircase behind them.

"Yaohui..."

When Gu Yaohui turned his head, he saw that Gong Shiya had woken up at some point. She had already walked to the top of the stairs and was now leaning on the railing, looking at him.

"Shiya!"

Gu Yaohui’s heart seized with worry, and he immediately rushed up the stairs to Gong Shiya’s side.

"What are you doing out here? Are you feeling unwell?"

It wasn’t that Gong Shiya had never left her room over the years, but she always did so with him accompanying her. Now, however, she had come out on her own. And what’s more, her complexion actually looked quite good.
