Creak.
Just as everyone waited anxiously, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Almost everyone reflexively turned their heads toward the doorway.
Dean Shi Quankun slowly walked in, tightly gripping the DNA report in his hand as though it weighed a thousand pounds.
His gaze swept across every face in the room before finally settling on Jiang Ning and Mengmeng.
Clearing his throat, Dean Shi announced in an incomparably solemn tone:
"The results show that Jiang Ning and Mengmeng's DNA highly matches. The two are confirmed to have a biological parent-child relationship."
The news exploded like a thunderclap, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the entire office.
Su Meng's body trembled violently. Her hand, which had been holding Jiang Ning's arm, unconsciously tightened, her nails nearly digging into his skin.
Scenes of every moment she had spent with Mengmeng flashed through her mind like a slideshow, and countless emotions surged within her heart.
Jiang Ning stood frozen in place.
Shock, joy, and worry intertwined in his eyes as he instinctively pulled Mengmeng tightly into his arms. To him, Mengmeng was the most precious treasure in the world, and he was afraid that if he loosened his grip even slightly, someone would snatch her away.
Su Yunlong's face instantly turned dark.
The thing he feared most had finally happened.
His expression practically screamed:
How did things end up like this?
Liu Mengyan's eyes reddened slightly as she looked at Mengmeng with deep reluctance, as if she were about to lose something incredibly precious.
"How could this be… How is it really true…" Su Yunlong muttered softly, his voice filled with helplessness and unwillingness. Fate truly seemed intent on playing tricks on them.
After a long silence, Jiang Ning was the first to speak.
Taking a deep breath, he looked sincerely at Su Meng and her parents and said firmly:
"Dad, Mom, Mengmeng, no matter what happens, I promise all of you that I will take responsibility for Mengmeng for the rest of my life, and I will also devote myself wholeheartedly to Xiaomeng.
Mengmeng is my biological daughter, but Xiaomeng's place in my heart can never be replaced."
Su Meng forced back the tears welling in her eyes and nodded lightly.
"I believe you, Jiang Ning. For Mengmeng to find her biological father… in some ways, that's also a good thing. From now on, she'll receive double the love."
Though she said this, the loneliness hidden in her voice could not be concealed.
Su Yunlong snorted coldly and stared sharply at Jiang Ning.
"You'd better keep your word. If I ever find out you mistreat Xiaomeng or Mengmeng, I absolutely won't let you off."
Liu Mengyan gently tugged at her husband's sleeve and softly persuaded him:
"Things have already come to this. Let's not make things difficult for the children anymore.
For Mengmeng to find her biological father really is a good thing."
"Daddy, Mommy, what's wrong with everyone?"
Lying in Jiang Ning's arms, Mengmeng keenly sensed that something was off and asked curiously.
Looking at the innocent little girl, Jiang Ning suddenly thought about how she had been abandoned in an orphanage since birth.
For the past three years, such a tiny child must have thought her parents didn't want her anymore.
How much grievance and sadness had she silently endured?
This was his biological daughter.
Yet he had known nothing about her existence while she quietly grew up in an orphanage.
Jiang Ning's eyes instantly reddened, and tears uncontrollably dripped down his face.
Seeing this, Su Meng's heart ached terribly. She hurriedly grabbed a tissue and gently wiped away his tears.
"Hubby, don't be too sad."
Jiang Ning looked at her gratefully, his voice trembling with emotion.
"Thank you… Thank you, wife. If not for you, I might never have known in this lifetime that I had such an adorable daughter. I'm truly grateful."
As he spoke, he also thought of his close friend, Su Che.
Su Meng bit her lip, her emotions tangled in conflict.
"Hubby, we're already husband and wife, so don't be so polite.
If one day Mengmeng's biological mother comes looking for her… and if you… if you want to live together with Mengmeng and her biological mother… I… I'll respect your decision."
In truth, Su Meng had already deeply fallen in love with Jiang Ning.
She didn't dare imagine what her life would become if he ever left her. It felt as though life itself would lose all meaning.
"No! Never, wife!
No one will separate us from Mengmeng.
Even if her biological mother really appears, I absolutely won't let her destroy our family, nor will I allow her to take Mengmeng away.
I'll demand to know why she heartlessly abandoned Mengmeng in the first place.
What right does she have to call herself Mengmeng's mother? What right does she have to try taking her away?"
Jiang Ning's eyes were red with anger as he roared emotionally.
"Daddy… Daddy, don't be like this. Mengmeng is scared…"
Frightened by his appearance, Mengmeng shrank nervously into his embrace, her voice trembling.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, precious daughter. Daddy was wrong just now. Daddy shouldn't have acted like that. I'm sorry, Mengmeng."
Hearing her words, Jiang Ning hurriedly calmed himself down, terrified of scaring his daughter.
Especially after confirming she was truly his biological child, his heart ached for her even more.
"Daddy, Daddy, don't cry anymore, okay? Mengmeng will be very, very obedient from now on. I'll always listen to Daddy."
Mengmeng stretched out her chubby little hands and tenderly wiped away the tears on Jiang Ning's face.
"Mhm. Daddy won't cry anymore. Daddy is just too happy.
From now on, Daddy will never be separated from Mengmeng again."
Jiang Ning hugged her tightly, as though he wanted to fuse her into his very being.
From this moment onward, he silently swore that he would never allow Mengmeng to suffer even the slightest harm again.
At that moment, Su Yunlong stood up, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
"Let's go home and talk there."
Su Meng also wrapped her arm around Jiang Ning's.
"Hubby, let's go home."
She completely understood his feelings.
If it had been her, discovering that her biological daughter had spent three years in an orphanage while she herself knew nothing, she would have been filled with guilt toward Mengmeng and hatred toward the cruel biological mother too.
Jiang Ning held Mengmeng tightly and nodded.
"Okay. Let's go."
And so, after saying goodbye to the dean, the group left the hospital and returned together to the Yunding Villa District.
However, once the Su family returned to the villa, silence descended over everyone.
The villa was eerily quiet, as though time itself had frozen.
Everyone was still immersed in the shock of this astonishing and bizarre truth.
Each person silently tried to process everything, piecing together the story's causes and imagining what the future might bring.
Such an unbelievable coincidence had truly happened before their eyes.
And all of them found themselves wondering about the mysterious girl who had jumped into the water.
Who exactly was she?
Why had she tried to drown herself?
After being rescued, why had she ended up spending the night with Jiang Ning?
What had she been thinking at the time?
And why had she insisted on giving birth to Mengmeng, only to later abandon her so heartlessly?
