59 What If

"It will not hurt you or anyone to do a paternity test. We just want to be sure! If she's yours... Then, we have to eliminate Ms Shen!" he smiled at his own idea. He thought he was the boss's brain.

Cheng Ze's brows furrowed. To come and think of it, it's actually a good idea. "What do you mean by eliminating Ms Shen? To cancel the engagement? On what grounds? For having a daughter with a different woman? Do you think the Shen family will accept that? Come on Li Wei, we have to come up with something better and totally reasonable and acceptable for them." he liked Li Wei's idea but they have to come up with a good and better excuse to cancel the engagement.

"First things first, do the paternity test. Take her to the clinic as soon as possible." Li Wei himself was so eager to find out if they are father and daughter.

"Wait, wait, wait... Are you my boss now?" He gave him a look to put him in his place.

"No. Of course not! I'm talking to you as your loyal friend. Can't friends do that?" he grinned at Cheng Ze, hoping that he will get him off the hook.

Gu Residence

Madam Gu took the swab sample to the DNA Clinic. She was told to wait 5 days for the result. She doesn't really want to wait that long but she has to. If Sofia is his, her plan was to kick them out of the house and legally disown her own daughter. She will have to be removed from their family tree. That way, there will be a chance for Cheng Ze and Ji An to be together. Ji An will probably hate her for doing that, but she has to do it. If she tells Ji An that Cheng Ze is responsible and Sofia's father, it might not turn out well. She might act irrationally and leave again, thinking that everyone is tricking her. And another problem is the Shen family. She has to do something about that too. "Oh my God, why can't it be so easy for them to be together? They are stressing me out!"

"Whos stressing you out Meiling?" Gu Feng suddenly spoke behind her.

"Darling, is it possible to cancel the engagement between Shen and Cheng Ze?"

"On what grounds?"

"Well, I think my daughter is a suitable bride for him! Don't you think so?" she looked at him with twinkling eyes.

"Are you out of your mind? You can't be serious! They are brothers and sisters. It won't look good if people find out and start to gossip about them. Plus, Shen can help the company." he spoke in disagreement.

"Are you saying that my daughter is useless? And she doesn't match with your son? How rude of you Gu Feng!" she really got annoyed and angry at her husband for saying those words. 

"I'm not saying that, but still they can't be together!" he was firm about what he said.

"Even if you find out Sofia is your own grandchild? Will you still think the same?" she faces him and looked at him directly in his eyes.

"So you are serious about this matter. As I said earlier, he will take responsibility for what he did if he really did it. Do you think he likes your daughter?" His eyebrows furrowed as he looked at his wife.

"I'm sure of it. He was like you when you fell for me. My daughter is just slow to realise it. She got that from her father." she smiled at him as she reminisced about the past.

"You knew that I fell for you real hard back then?" Gu Feng exclaimed seriously.

Madam Gu opened her eyes wide, "Of course! I fell for you too. But I have to act that I don't like you so you'll chase me and confess your heart out. It worked!" she felt, spoke and acted as if they were young again.

"If I hadn't attended that party we could have been together and had our own children." He regretted what happened to them in the past, the mistake he committed to her.

"Gu Feng... There is something you have to know..." she looked at him and inhaled deeply, "What if you find out we had a child together?"

"If I found out you were carrying my child back then, I wouldn't have married Min Ah even if she was pregnant with Cheng Ze, I will choose you." He hugged her tightly, "You know you are my world Meiling. I am lost without you." He kissed her head as he hugged her tighter.

She couldn't tell him the whole truth yet but she will, for now, it will have to wait. Her focus is on Ji An and Cheng Ze.

Ji An took Sofia to enrol her in a school the next day. She will start going to school tomorrow. Ji An also started to look for a house, so she can have her own space and time without her mother being on her case all the time. She booked to view the properties the following day.

The next day, Ji An took little Sofia to school. She then started to look for a little office that she can convert into a clinic. She wanted to establish herself and have her own consultation clinic, in that way, she will have income and she has something to do. She can focus her attention to her own little clinic and Sofia only.
