Chapter 742: Her Son Had Elevated Her Status
Ye Snr. and Xia Jingshu were elated when they received the results of the paternity test. They were even more excited than when they had arrived at the hospital that morning.
They both beamed happily in excitement and this was especially so for Xia Jingshu who had already carried her grandson for more than 30 minutes. She refused to let go even though her arms were aching.
The report clearly wrote that the results of the test showed that her husband Ye Zhiyuan was definitely related to the child.
This proved that this child was definitely their grandson.
Ye Snr. did not look as excited as his wife but he was secretly more excited than anyone else. He had contracted a terminal illness and didn’t have much longer to live, so he felt like he could die without any regrets now that he had witnessed the birth of his grandson.
Han Xue and her mother beamed widely after they received the report. They could not stop smiling and they were thrilled.
Han Qing was exceptionally pleased and her voice sounded more high-pitched than usual.
“Mr. Ye, although this child is related to the Ye family, my daughter is not Ye Hao’s wife, so I’m sorry but the Han family would be raising this child as our own. He will take Han Xue’s family name and his identity documents will be under the Han family name. However, you may still pop by to visit the child if you’re free and we wouldn’t stop you from doing so,” Han Qing said with a smile.
This child was born out of wedlock, so according to current laws, a child born out of wedlock did not have any relation to his father and custody of the child will be granted to the mother. The father of a child who was born out of wedlock would never be granted custody of the child. This was a law that was almost universally applied across the world.
Although the Ye family was extremely rich, they would not be able to fight for custody over a child born out of wedlock.
Ye Snr. and Xia Jingshu looked a little ill at ease.
They frowned and exchanged a glance and seemed a little conflicted.
Finally, Ye Snr. spoke. He turned to Han Qing and said, “This was my son’s fault for not taking responsibility of the child. However, just as you’ve pointed out, the child carries the Ye bloodline, so we will not sit idly by. I hope you’ll give this matter some consideration. If the child is raised by the Ye family, he could become the successor of the Ye family business one day and would stand to enjoy a better status than if he were to be raised by the Han family. As for your daughter, we will reimburse her for her trouble. Do let me know how much you’d like and I will do my best to meet your request.”
Ye Snr. reasoned calmly. He would never allow his grandson to take any other last name but the Ye family name. Furthermore, this was his first grandson.
Han Qing felt a little unhappy at Ye Snr.’s words. She was not after monetary rewards but she wanted to move into the castle and for her daughter to be Ye Hao’s legal wife. She also wanted her grandson to be able to lead the Ye family business one day and inherit all the honor and fortune of the Ye family.
Han Xue smiled wryly and looked at Ye Snr. before she said with some disappointment, “Thank you for thinking about my child, Mr. Ye. I didn’t give birth to this child to be rich but because he was my child. I love my child and I would personally like to raise this child as my own. We don’t need any reimbursement from you since we have money of our own. We might not be a rich family, nor be extremely wealthy, but we will do our best to give the child a good upbringing and education.”
