At the court back then, Yan Zhen was extremely shocked by Yuan Ya'er's pregnancy. In his perception, this child should not and could not have existed.
In fact, even Xu Zixi suspected the origin of the child in Yuan Ya'er's belly. If it was Yan Zhen's, that would be okay. But if it wasn't...
Then she had evil intentions, trying to use her pregnancy to get a suspended sentence and medical parole. If they could find evidence, maybe they could keep her in prison for a few more years.
However, there was no need to trouble Yan Haikun with this. The old man was getting on in years and didn't have the energy to deal with another matter. She and Yan Yincheng would handle it. It could be regarded as the last thing she, as an aunt, did for Yan Zhen.
After comforting Yan Haikun, she hung up the phone.
"Brother Cheng, about what Dad said..."
She told Yan Yincheng about her suspicions. "From the wedding of Yan Zhen and Yuan Ya'er to Yuan Ya'er's arrest, it was only three short days. I'm sure that the number of times they had sex during these three days was countable. Otherwise, Yan Zhen wouldn't have been so shocked when he learned that Yuan Ya'er was pregnant."
"I'm thinking, could this child really not be Yan Zhen's? Did Yuan Ya'er deliberately get herself pregnant to avoid punishment?"
Yan Yincheng pondered and said, "Your suspicion is quite reasonable. I also had doubts back then."
They weren't the only ones who had doubts. Yan Haikun also did. Yan Haikun even said in front of Yuan Ya'er that a paternity test would be done in the future.
The two had developed great understanding and both thought of this remark of Yan Haikun simultaneously.
A chill ran up Xu Zixi's feet and straight to the top of her head. She and Yan Yincheng said in unison, "Paternity test!"
Was Yan Zhen's death really an accident?
His death was too sudden, a great pain for the Yan family. But from the Yuan family's perspective, his death only brought benefits.
After his death, the case lost the plaintiff, and the Yan family was busy with his funeral. Unconsciously, they missed the appeal period.
At the same time, it completely ruled out the possibility that the child in Yuan Ya'er's belly would be taken away for a paternity test with Yan Zhen in the future!
- But the Yuan family didn't know that the old master Yan didn't plan to appeal, and Yan Zhen was going to take up the position of the person in charge of the overseas company in Country L.
Gripping Yan Yincheng's hand tightly, Xu Zixi said excitedly, "Brother Cheng! Both Yuan Ya'er's pregnancy and Yan Zhen's death must be re - investigated! My intuition has never been wrong! There must be some hidden secrets!"
Trying to soothe her emotions, Yan Yincheng said, "Don't be impatient. I understand what you mean. I'll send people to investigate thoroughly in Fengcheng. You just focus on recuperating your body. Don't worry about these tiring things. After all, Yan Zhen is my nephew. I'll give him an explanation."
Xu Zixi nodded and touched her swollen belly.
It was for the sake of the child in her belly.
The next morning, after breakfast, Wei Shu came in from outside and said to Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng, "Third Master, Madam, there's another group of people claiming to be university professors outside. They want to meet Madam."
It had been nearly half a month since the paper was published in *The Lancet*. Yan Yincheng thought that these people would give up gradually since they couldn't meet Xu Zixi. Who would have thought that they were so persistent.
Xu Zixi had been feeling better recently. The morning sickness wasn't as severe. Knowing this was her best chance, she said to Wei Shu:
"Wei Shu, have you registered all the visitors recently?"
Wei Shu said, "Madam, I have." Then he took out his tablet computer, opened a file, and handed it to Xu Zixi.
"We've divided them into three different statistical tables according to media reporters, professionals, and schools. The names, phone numbers, and purposes of all the visitors have been registered."
Wei Shu was indeed Yan Yincheng's capable assistant for two lifetimes. Without Xu Zixi's instructions, he had already handled things properly.
After browsing, Xu Zixi set something on the tablet computer and handed it back to him, saying, "Contact the people I've marked and tell them to meet in the chairman's office of Xicheng in three days."
Wei Shu said, "Yes, Madam."
After Wei Shu left, Yan Yincheng asked, "You've decided so quickly on the people you want to meet. Have you made up your mind?"
Xu Zixi snuggled into his arms and said, "I've thought it through for a long time and made future plans. Brother Cheng, just wait and see. Your eyes will regain their sight within three years!"
Yan Yincheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."
Three days later, in the chairman's office of Xicheng.
Three authoritative professors of biomedicine from the School of Medicine of Fengcheng University met Xu Zixi here.
Xu Zixi was naturally beautiful and charming, making it hard for people to take their eyes off her. After getting pregnant this time, there was an indescribable tenderness on her face. And the aura from being a long - term manager made her look anything but weak.
"Hello, three teachers. I'm honored to meet you here." Xu Zixi showed a confident smile and reached out her hand to the three of them.
After a firm handshake, the three professors sat down and began to talk about their purpose.
Like the enrollment officers from other universities, they were here to invite Xu Zixi to study at the School of Medicine of Fengcheng University.
*The Lancet* was one of the most authoritative medical journals in the world. Only major research breakthroughs could be published in it. Both this world - shaking paper and the protagonist in it, "Huangjinpo", were from their Country C.
As the top university in Country C, they had to recruit this top - notch talent at all costs!
They had come here full of confidence. But when they arrived, they found that even the top 10 international schools had come. Only then did they feel the great competitive pressure.
In the past half - month, since they couldn't meet Xu Zixi, the three professors had almost given up, thinking that Xu Zixi might have chosen a foreign school. Who would have thought that she would invite them!
Learning that they were the only school invited, they were extremely excited!
"We really didn't expect Miss Xu to choose to meet us. Could you tell us the reason for your choice?" A professor with a mole on his nose asked, full of emotion.
"Actually, it's very simple. Because I'm from Country C and from Fengcheng." Xu Zixi said with a faint smile. "I only want to leave this honor to our own people. I hope my research can benefit more people."
Actually, the reason she chose the School of Medicine of Fengcheng University was that her alma mater in her previous life was the School of Medicine of Beijing Normal University.
"Great! Miss Xu has a broad vision! It coincides with the educational philosophy of our Fengcheng University!" The three of them were even more satisfied and fond of Xu Zixi.
"However, I also have conditions." Xu Zixi said.
It was normal for a talent that medical schools all over the world were vying for to have conditions.
The professor on the leftmost side pushed his glasses and said gently, "Just tell us. As long as we can do it, we'll definitely try our best to meet your requirements."
