Chapter 882 - 882 882 I Have No Daughter

Chapter 882: Chapter 882: I Have No Daughter Chapter 882: Chapter 882: I Have No Daughter Luo Liansheng was in quite a good mood, and after chatting for a while, he asked Luo Ziling to play chess with him since it was still early.

Back in the small village, the grandfather and grandson would often play chess together in the evenings.

Luo Ziling’s Go skills were taught by Luo Liansheng, and his skills had improved through playing regularly with his grandfather and reading chess manuals.

The two hadn’t played chess for several months, and with Luo Liansheng’s craving for chess rising, he insisted on playing a few games with Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling naturally wouldn’t refuse and happily went to the study with Luo Liansheng to play chess.

Luo Xusheng, who was also good at chess, could only stand by as a spectator, while Ling Ruonan naturally took on the role of waiter, preparing tea for them.

Watching the three men play chess together, Ling Ruonan was busy yet thrilled.

When had her villa ever had so many people?

With her man and son here, along with the relative who had raised her son, Ling Ruonan felt all her concerns had disappeared. If life could continue so simply, without anything else, she would be content.

While Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng played chess, they also discussed their life experiences over the past few months, the people they had encountered, including Ling Jinhua, Ling Mingrui, and other Ling family members, the people of Fang Family, Chen Family, and also Li Haiyang, Phoenix, and Lin Lan.

While talking about these people, Luo Ziling suddenly thought of Luo Yuqing.

He had sent Luo Yuqing a message last night but hadn’t heard back from her, and he hadn’t contacted her since then.

Today, aside from making a phone call to Yang Qingyin, he hadn’t even taken his phone out, and he didn’t know if Luo Yuqing had sent him any messages.

Thinking of Luo Yuqing brought the paternity test to mind.

He planned to take this opportunity to obtain something from Luo Xusheng’s body, such as hair, skin, or bodily fluids.

At first, Luo Ziling thought it would be simple, but seeing Luo Xusheng’s extremely short buzz cut, he realized the task was daunting unless he confronted Luo Xu directly.

At that thought, Luo Ziling suddenly had an idea.

If Luo Yuqing was his half-sister by the same father, then Luo Xusheng would definitely know about it. He decided to ask him directly about it.

Because his mind wandered, Luo Ziling’s focus was not sharp, and as a result, he lost the first game midway through.

Seeing that Luo Ziling didn’t perform to his usual standard, Luo Liansheng was somewhat dissatisfied and insisted on another game.

In the second game, Luo Ziling didn’t let his mind wander and played to his best ability, eventually winning by a narrow margin of one and a half points over Luo Liansheng.

When the grandfather and grandson played chess, there was never a question of letting or not letting win; they were aiming to improve their skills, not save face.

After playing two games, Luo Liansheng’s urge to play chess had passed.

After drinking some alcohol and feeling a bit tired from the past few days, he decided to go to sleep.

Tonight, Luo Ziling was prepared to sleep here because Luo Liansheng would be staying overnight.

Ling Ruonan hurriedly prepared the room, bedding, and toiletries.

There were plenty of rooms in the villa, but bedding and toiletries had to be arranged on short notice.

While Ling Ruonan was preparing the room and bedding for Luo Liansheng, Luo Ziling signaled that he wanted to talk to Luo Xusheng alone about something.

Luo Xusheng did not know what Luo Ziling wanted to discuss with him, but he did not refuse. The father and son stepped outside the house to talk.

“Dad, do I have another sister?” When the two walked outside the house, Luo Ziling directly questioned Luo Xusheng about this matter.

“What?” Luo Xusheng was startled, “What did you say?”

“I want to know if I have a sister, not born by my mom,” seeing Luo Xusheng look so astonished, Luo Ziling couldn’t help frowning, but still persisted, “There’s a senior at our school who looks a bit like me, and she herself said that it’s possible she’s my sister. I think you would definitely know the truth.”

“That’s not the case,” Luo Xusheng shook his head without hesitation, “How could you possibly have another sister?”

“From the Yanjing Li Family, there’s a man named Li Tianguan. His wife’s name is Wu Ningjing,” although Luo Ziling was somewhat surprised by Luo Xusheng’s reaction, he did not give up and continued, “She has a daughter named Li Yuqing, but after Li Tianguan died, she changed her daughter’s name to Luo Yuqing. Moreover, she repeatedly instructed Luo Yuqing never to date me but never explained why.”

Hearing Wu Ningjing’s name, Luo Xusheng’s expression flickered briefly but soon returned to normal.

After Luo Ziling finished speaking, Luo Xusheng calmly said, “I know Wu Ningjing. She pursued me back then, but I ignored her.”

After saying these few lines, Luo Xusheng added, “At least in my memory, I never had an intimate relationship with her, nor is it possible for me to have fathered her daughter. Maybe her intense pursuit back then was an attempt to reconnect with me!”

Hearing Luo Xusheng simplify the matter so, Luo Ziling naturally was not satisfied.

His curiosity had been piqued, and he pressed further, “Dad, think again, could it be that in a confused state, you had a relationship with her, resulting in a pregnancy? I think this matter wouldn’t arise out of nowhere. Luo Yuqing and I went to the police forensic center for a paternity test, and the test results could not rule out a blood relationship between us.”

This statement shocked Luo Xusheng, “You actually went for a paternity test?”

“Yes, we had our suspicions, so we went for it, but without you, the suspected father, for the test, the results were inconclusive.” Luo Ziling quickly expressed his request, “Therefore, I want to take a sample from you and send it for testing together, is that okay?”

Luo Xusheng frowned, thought for a moment, then shook his head, “There’s no need to trouble ourselves with this. If other people know I’ve come to Yanjing, it would complicate matters. It could affect not only me but also you and your mother. You have to trust me, I haven’t done anything to betray your mother.”

As he spoke, Luo Xusheng seemed a bit angry and did not stay to talk with Luo Ziling any longer, turning instead to walk back into the house.

Luo Ziling was left feeling rather dismissed, and a bit sullen inside.

He did not rush back into the house immediately, but instead stood outside for a while.

Pulling out his phone, he opened Luo Yuqing’s ID and saw that she had sent him several messages. The messages explained why she hadn’t responded sooner and asked if Luo Ziling needed her for something.

“I met my father, but he firmly denies having you as a daughter and is unwilling to participate in a paternity test with us. Also, he doesn’t want anyone else unrelated to know about his arrival in Yanjing, so you must keep this confidential and not let anyone know he was here.”

“How could this be?” Luo Yuqing’s messages were immediately replied, followed by a string of surprised emoticons.
