As Ruan Xingwan finished speaking, there was no sound in the entire kitchen.
Everything became quiet.
Ruan Chen always lowered his head, unable to see clearly what his emotions were.
Ruan Xingwan pursed her lips: "Xiao Chen, I..."
Ruan Chen paused for a moment before continuing to chop vegetables, saying in a calm tone: "You don't need to comfort me, I'm used to it."
Ruan Xingwan said: "I'm not comforting you. I have already done a paternity test, and William is..."
"For me, everything is over when Ruan Jun dies. It doesn't matter who is my biological father."
Hearing this, Ruan Xingwan was stunned and opened his mouth to say something, but Ruan Chen had already started cooking.
Covered up all sounds.
Ruan Xingwan knew that he did not want to discuss this topic any further.
No matter from childhood to adulthood, or until Ruan Jun's death, during those torturous and painful times, Ruan Chen had hoped that he would not be Ruan Jun's son every day and night.
That thought seemed to be his hope for survival, but luck did not come to him, nor did it favor him.
Especially when you know that everything that happened to Ruan Xingwan happened because of Ruan Jun.
He transferred his hatred for Ruan Jun to himself.
If someone told him at that time that Ruan Jun was not his biological father, it would be relief and salvation for him.
But now, what does this mean?
Ruan Xingwan also knew in her heart that even though she had no memory of her childhood, she could still feel the family affection from the fact that William was her father.
But Xiao Chen is different. He has never received true father's love since he was born.
William was also completely unfamiliar to him.
Even because of Ruan Jun, William almost turned against him...
Although this kind of estrangement and hatred is not stated clearly, Xiaochen actually knows it.
He just kept pretending that nothing happened in order not to make things difficult for her.
Ruan Xingwan closed his eyes, suddenly not knowing what to say.
During the meal, neither of them spoke on this topic.
Ruan Chen said: "Won't Zhou Cishen come back for dinner?"
Ruan Xingwan said while drinking soup: "He worked overtime at the company tonight and came back late."
"What's going on over there in Jiangzhou? Is the child okay?"
Ruan Xingwan nodded: "It's good. It won't be long before you can see him."
It has been almost two months since they returned from Jiangzhou.
The three months promised before are almost here.
Ruan Xingwan said again: "Where is your school? Are there any fans looking for you?"
Ruan Chen said: "The school talked to me and told me not to worry about it. They will arrange someone to deal with it."
"That's good, you'd better...study hard. In a blink of an eye, you're already a sophomore, and you don't have much time left in college."
Speaking of this, Ruan Xingwan still misses it.
Although I had to work several part-time jobs every day when I was a student, my only worry at that time was how to get rid of Ruan Jun as soon as possible.
It's like now, every day seems to be full of endless troubles.
After eating, Ruan Chen went back to school directly.
After Ruan Xingwan tidied up the house, he sat on the sofa.
When Zhou Cishen came back at eleven o'clock, he saw her looking down at her phone in a daze, and strode over: "What's wrong?"
Hearing his voice, Ruan Xingwan quickly raised his head and put the phone aside: "Nothing...have you eaten? If not, I will get it for you..."
"have eaten."
Zhou Cishen loosened his tie with one hand and sat next to her, "Didn't you ask Ruan Chen to come over and leave?"
Ruan Xingwan nodded lightly: "Let's go."
"What did you say to him?"
Ruan Xingwan lowered his head, seeming a little frustrated.
She originally thought she would be very happy when she got the paternity test results, but now it seems that is not the case.
Zhou Cishen raised her chin: "Unhappy?"
She looked sadly: "No."
"Aren't you quite happy this afternoon?
Ruan Chen made you angry?
I'll teach him a lesson."
Zhou Cishen said and stood up.
Ruan Xingwan reached out to hold him: "No, what are you talking about? He didn't make me angry, and neither did I..."
She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhou Cishen rubbed her head: "Since it's not his fault, then tell me and I'll solve it for you."
Ruan Xingwan was silent before saying: "Do you remember... I told you before that I thought Xiao Chen and William looked very similar when they were young."
Zhou Cishen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Huh?"
"Actually, Shanshan went to London this time not just to participate in the photography exhibition. She... came to get William's DNA, and then she and Xiaochen did a new paternity test. The result showed that the blood relationship between the parent and child was 99%."
"Did you tell Ruan Chen?"
"Well..." Ruan Xingwan whispered, "But you also know what happened in the past. It's hard for Xiao Chen to accept this result now. I don't know what to do, and I don't dare to tell William."
Zhou Cishen said: "You dare not tell William because Ruan Chen's current attitude is resistive. Are you afraid that William will blame himself and feel sad because of his past actions and thoughts?"
Ruan Xingwan continued to nod and said: "It would have been better if I had gone for a paternity test earlier, and I wouldn't have..."
"This is not your responsibility."
Zhou Cishen said, "William went for a paternity test, but got contradictory results. They made a mistake.
If you hadn't insisted on doing it again, they would have just perpetuated the mistake."
Ruan Xingwan was stunned: "Yes, William has done a paternity test, why..."
If there are people around Zhou Cishen who have been making trouble and confusing the public, what about William?
Not many people knew William's identity at that time, so he must have found the person he trusted most to do this.
So was it Daniel or Cheng Wei who did the paternity test?
Or is it someone she doesn't know?
Ruan Xingwan quickly picked up the phone. He originally wanted to call William, but suddenly he remembered what Pei Shanshan said.
Since the result of William's paternity test is wrong, it means that there are people around him who don't want him to know that Xiaochen is his son.
This phone call was never made.
After she sent a message to Pei Shanshan, she put down her phone and took a deep breath.
When Ruan Xingwan looked up again, he saw Zhou Cishen leaning on the sofa, looking at her leisurely.
Ruan Xingwan: "?"
Zhou Cishen said: "Is the matter resolved?"
"It doesn't matter, just..." Ruan Xingwan stared at him, suddenly confused, "Why were you not surprised at all when I said Xiaochen was William's son?"
Zhou Cishen's expression remained unchanged and he said slowly: "Didn't you say that Ruan Chen looks a lot like William when he was young?
Moreover, I never thought that Ruan Jun could give birth to a son like him."
