"No, there's nothing like that. Don't talk nonsense... Forget it. Let me go tell him first and then I'll leave with you. We can talk on the way." Wei Ziqi quickly denied three times in a row. But this matter couldn't be explained briefly. He decided to explain it carefully to his friends.
"Then go quickly!" Miaomiao pushed Wei Ziqi, urging him to say hello. She couldn't wait to take the young teacher away from here.
Wei Ziqi sighed helplessly, turned around and went back into the room. Two or three minutes later, he came out of the room again with his schoolbag on his back.
After leaving the hotel gate, Yao Mingxuan immediately found a nearby milk - tea shop and sat down. Wei Ziqi sat alone on a three - person bench. Cheng Ruan and Yao Mingxuan sat opposite him. Miaomiao still wanted to sit next to Wei Ziqi as they usually did, but was directly pulled over by Cheng Ruan.
Wei Ziqi sat alone on the long bench. At first glance, it really looked like an inquisition.
"Come on, tell us what's going on! We've been kept in the dark!" Cheng Ruan demanded angrily with her hands on her hips.
Miaomiao looked at Yao Mingxuan and Cheng Ruan. She didn't know why they were angry, but if she didn't understand, she could learn!
She perfectly copied Cheng Ruan's expression and movements and echoed, "Come on, what on earth is going on?!"
"Don't be so tense. I'm not going out to do anything bad, nor am I deliberately hiding it from you. I just don't want my mom to know yet. I'm afraid you might let it slip one day, so I didn't tell you about this for the time being." Wei Ziqi forced a couple of dry laughs. He could understand why his friends were angry. After all, they had been close friends for so many years, sharing everything. Hiding this non - secret from them made them feel that he didn't trust them, so it was normal for them to be angry.
"You're afraid we'll let it slip to auntie. You must have done something wrong to auntie, or is your real father not a scumbag after all!" Cheng Ruan questioned with quite clear logic.
"Really not. How can I put it? Just one week before school started, someone told me that my father was waiting for me. I was really surprised at that time and even thought they were scammers. After all, my mom had never told me anything about my father. I thought like you did, that he was a scumbag who abandoned his wife and child. So I went there to question him, but was afraid of making a mistake, so I proposed to do a paternity test first. I personally sent the test samples to the hospital and picked up the report myself. Yes, he is indeed my father. But even more terrifying is that I'm not my mom's biological child."
Wei Ziqi gave a bitter smile. Finding his real father was neither a completely good nor a completely bad thing for him, but the fact that he wasn't his mother's biological child was like a thunderbolt out of the blue.
When Cheng Ruan heard half of it, she was already about to scold, but Wei Ziqi's last words made her swallow the words back.
All three friends were shocked, including Miaomiao, who didn't expect the situation to develop like this.
Seeing that his friends were completely stunned, Wei Ziqi gave them a little time to digest. After a short pause, seeing that their expressions gradually relaxed, he continued, "Yes, I had the same expression as you when I heard this news. To confirm the truth of this news, I secretly did a paternity test with my mom. The result confirmed that there was no blood - relation. I was picked up by my mom, and the father who came to find me is my biological father in terms of blood - relation."
"What's going on? It doesn't make sense. He came here and is staying in a hotel. He obviously isn't a local. How could he lose his child so far away? And you weren't bought by auntie. There's no human - trafficking involved!" Yao Mingxuan just couldn't figure it out.
For families as well - off as theirs, as long as the family relationships weren't too complicated or the parents didn't care about their children, they would watch their kids closely. Especially for their generation, who were affected by the family - planning policy, each family had only one child. Losing one would drive the parents crazy.
"Yes, I also think it's very strange. My father told me that when I was just born, the nanny who was taking care of my biological mother secretly swapped her own child with me. That nanny entrusted someone to send me thousands of miles away to Nancheng and just threw me away, leaving me to fend for myself. My mom probably picked me up around that time."
What a case of swapping the prince with a commoner!
The real - life drama of the true and false young master had appeared!
Cheng Ruan and Miaomiao were completely dumbfounded now. Cheng Ruan couldn't digest such a dramatic thing happening to someone around her, while Miaomiao simply didn't quite understand and needed time to digest it.
Only Yao Mingxuan's mind was still clear enough to communicate normally with Wei Ziqi.
"So what do you plan to do? Did he come to find you to take you away?"
"No, I will never go with him. I can't abandon my mom. I haven't figured out how to tell my mom about this yet. Moreover, I think my biological mother seems not very smart. If I go back, there's a high probability that my IQ will be lowered."
Wei Ziqi firmly rejected the idea of going back with his biological father. His mom had worked so hard to raise him. She had no diploma, no education, no culture and no money. She worked three jobs every day to feed him, clothe him and send him to school. She also worked herself to the bone to save money to buy a small house to give him a stable home.
She even rejected all suitors and refused to get married, for fear that he might not live well or feel bad.
The kindness of giving birth was not greater than the kindness of raising. Whoever raised him, for whatever reason, was his real mom. One couldn't be heartless and abandon one's family ties when faced with wealth and glory.
Not to mention that their family's life was now moving towards a well - off level and had improved a lot. Even if he was still living in poverty, he would rather stay by his mom's side and go nowhere. He didn't think his mom would want a rich son who wasn't by her side.
"I can understand that you have a deep affection for auntie, but it seems that you don't like your biological mother very much. Where does this 'lowering IQ' come from?" Yao Mingxuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
The deep affection between Wei Ziqi and his mom was obvious to all, but it seemed that he had no problem with his biological father, but had a lot of opinions about his biological mother.
"Hehe, seriously, she's incredibly stupid. I even suspect that she planned my disappearance. She actually said that she was reluctant to part with her adopted son and wanted to take me back and register me in the household register as her adopted son." Wei Ziqi rolled his eyes as he spoke, clearly showing his annoyance at this biological mother.
