Chapter 928: 927 Paternity Test
“Everyone makes mistakes at times,”
Wen Ran’s voice was gentle and calm, just like her heart.
Actually, she was not one to hold grudges. During those ten-plus years with the Wen family, she had always been happy; Wen Hongrui and his wife were righteous and kind individuals, and she possessed no memories of a cruel childhood.
Therefore, she never learned to resent.
Although later on, she did harbor hatred towards some, Mo Zixuan retained the shadow of his initial sunny and handsome self in her heart. Seeing how willing he was to change, to stop pestering her, she found herself unable to dislike him any longer.
Mo Zixuan was aware of Wen Ran’s kindness, but after all the hurt he had caused her, she still managed to let it go. He was genuinely moved, “Ranran, I understand now. I will definitely not make the same mistakes in the future. No matter what happens between Zhou Lin and me, I will take full responsibility as a father to Tiantian.”
“Mm, Tiantian is a lovely child. I hope you’re doing this for more than just fulfilling a responsibility.”
Wen Ran’s eyes and brows lifted in a faint smile. She always adored children, especially since Tiantian had grown so dependent on her. After spending over a month together, she had developed a deep affection for Tiantian.
Mo Zixuan nodded earnestly, “I will work hard. Maybe you won’t believe it, but I’ve only held Tiantian once and seen her just a few times. However, I don’t dislike her, in fact, I find her really adorable.”
“I believe you.”
Trust was evident in Wen Ran’s clear eyes, and her words moved Mo Zixuan and encouraged him, bringing an unconscious smile to his face.
When Mo Xiuchen returned, he found Mo Zixuan and Wen Ran engaged in a cheerful conversation.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and as Mo Zixuan saw him enter, he immediately stood up from the couch and handed over the report in his hands as he approached, “Here’s the latest data. Take a look.”
“Mm.”
Mo Xiuchen’s gaze slid past him and softened when it landed on Wen Ran.
“I’m going back to work now,” said Mo Zixuan, and with that, he turned and left the office.
Mo Xiuchen set his things on the coffee table and sat down next to Wen Ran, feigning nonchalance, he asked, “Ranran, what were you discussing with Zixuan? You both seemed to be quite happy.”
Wen Ran blinked and responded, “We were talking about Zhou Lin and Tiantian. He found a nurse for Zhou Lin and also hired a nanny for her…”

Wen Ran’s medical checkup came back normal, save for a slight deficiency that would require some time to recuperate.
During the weekend, Mo Xiuchen also went for a checkup and was deemed problem-free. Gu Yan prescribed some medicine to both of them for recuperation.
Wen Ran went to visit Tiantian in her room. Mo Xiuchen asked her to go ahead, saying he would chat with Gu Yan for a bit and then join her later.
“Mo Xiuchen, is there something on your mind?”
After Wen Ran had left, Gu Yan looked at Mo Xiuchen and asked gently.
Mo Xiuchen lowered his eyes momentarily, then meeting Gu Yan’s concerned gaze, the words that spilled from his lips carried a hint of repressed emotion, “Dad, there’s something I’d like to ask you about.”
“What’s the matter?”
Gu Yan offered a faint smile, picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and leaned back into the sofa.
He had seen Mo Xiuchen’s hesitation and, with a thought, various guesses flashed through his mind; he sighed silently. If he wasn’t mistaken, the issues Mo Xiuchen wanted to discuss surely pertained to the past.
Indeed, Mo Xiuchen’s thin lips lightly pursed as he pulled out an aged piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yan, “Dad, this is the paternity test my father did more than twenty years ago.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan’s gaze shifted slightly. He took the paper from Mo Xiuchen, glanced at it, and his expression changed repeatedly. His brows furrowed, “Xiuchen, did Mo Jingteng give this to you?”
Mo Xiuchen nodded, his lips curling into a self-mocking smile, “No, Mo Zixuan found it in his drawer. Before he died, he told me some truths. Dad, you and he have been friends for decades. Do you know much about what happened between him and my mom?”
Gu Yan pondered for a moment, then spoke gently, “Xiuchen, I originally thought you would never find out about those things. But now that you’re asking, I will tell you everything I know.”
“Mm.”
Mo Xiuchen nodded, listening as he continued.
“Actually, your mother had someone she liked before she met Mo Jingteng. Mo Jingteng used the same tactics on her that he later used on Xiao Wenqing. In his youth, he was known as a playboy. For a girl he fancied, he would stop at nothing to have her.”
As the past was unveiled, Gu Yan too became lost in his memories.
Mo Xiuchen’s lips were tightly pressed, his handsome facial features lined with a trace of coldness.
“Mo Jingteng’s fervent pursuit did not win over your mother’s heart. Later, he staged a self-harming scene— a clichéd damsel-in-distress rescue. Then, he made your mother witness the man she liked with another woman. A few months later, your mother married him.”
“Although she didn’t like him, she married Mo Jingteng and at first, she truly tried to live with him. But the peaceful days didn’t last long; she soon discovered that all those events had been orchestrated by Mo Jingteng…”
Gu Yan paused for a moment, “As for your true identity, I only found out years later. That secret, your mother probably never told anyone, including your biological father. Having obtained your mother, Mo Jingteng also knew her heart was not with him, and later on, he even caused the death of…”
Old images surfaced in Mo Xiuchen’s mind, some clear, some blurry.
What Gu Yan was saying wasn’t much different from what Mo Jingteng had told him that day, “I remember the day Mo Jingteng came to me for the paternity test, he was in a bad mood. But he didn’t tell me the truth then; he said it was for a friend.”

“But after he received the test results, he didn’t treat you as lovingly as before. And then there was Xiao Wenqing, and your mother started arguing with him more frequently. Once, when he was drunk, he revealed the truth.”
Mo Xiuchen took a deep breath. His hatred for Mo Jingteng had diminished, “Dad, the man my mom liked, what was his name? Do you know him?”
“Mm, I’ve seen him a few times. I only know his surname is Jiang. Actually, aside from resembling your mother, you take after Mo Jingteng more than that Jiang man.”
“But still…”
Mo Xiuchen was also puzzled by this point, so much so, that when Mo Jingteng revealed his origins that day, he couldn’t bring himself to believe it.
Gu Yan sighed softly, saying, “It was only after that Mo Jingteng started treating you poorly. Later, I advised him and analyzed your mother’s character for him, urging him to do another DNA test.”
Although that test was basically infallible, Gu Yan still felt that Mo Xiuchen had resemblances to Mo Jingteng; it was just that his features were too refined, taking after his mother more so.
