Over a decade ago, his mother had passed away. That separation felt as if one of his ribs had been ripped off his body.

He never wanted to experience that kind of feeling again. Thus, for Yichen, he had built a tall wall around him, using any means possible, to keep him secured within.

As for Yun Shishi, she was like a small fish. Out of goodwill, he had once set her free to an unfettered life.

However, six years to the present, meeting her again, he could not let her go anymore.

He was not happy with her family. He originally thought that she would take off with that money. She might have headed abroad for her studies, met the right man there, and then promised each other their lifetimes.

Unfortunately, life did not seem to go smoothly for her in the past six years.

She was stumbling in life and had two burdens at home: an adoptive mother and an unrelated younger sister. They were akin to two blood-sucking leeches that refused to let go without sucking her dry first.

Six years ago, his secretary had once let him in about a particular detail.

Yun Shishi was initially unwilling to become a surrogate for him. The first time she had her body checked, a middle-aged woman had accompanied her. Upon investigation, this woman was revealed to be her adoptive mother.

She was a filial daughter. She always wore a heart of gratitude for Yun Yecheng adopting her. After all, regardless of food or clothing, her adoptive father had never once treated her shabbily.

When his career was in a crisis, she was extremely worried. Nonetheless, it was her adoptive mother who had first brought up the matter about surrogacy; if she were to sign the contract to be a surrogate, she would then be rewarded with an astronomical sum. This could help resolve her father’s company debts to a certain degree.

She initially disagreed. She thought that it was too irresponsible, but Li Qin, who was tempted by the prospect of money, pressed her on. She threatened her with death and blackmailed her of being ruined for life if she did not agree!

Li Qin made her feel guilty, saying that if she disagreed, they would face hardships in this lifetime, and the entire family would be implicated because of her.

Yun Shishi felt remorseful and humiliated. Despite her unwillingness, she had no choice but to sign the contract in the end.

However, when Li Qin returned home, she feigned ignorance about everything and, like always, humiliated her to no end. She was absolutely wicked.

When Mu Yazhe first heard of this, he did not take it to heart, until he got his hand on that test report.

He took a look at her blood type and compared it with the Mu blood sample. The Department of Genetics reported the result of the DNA paternity test; the probability of paternity was higher than 99.999%.

She was the true daughter of the Mu Group who was left out in the cold. Mu Wanrou’s identity then became very dubious.

Mu Yazhe had long been suspicious of her identity.

This suspicion was groundless, though.

Upon her entry to the Mu residence, Grandpa Mu had some of her DNA samples collected and tested, but there were no issues with the result. Thus, everyone in the Mu family no longer questioned her identity despite the child having a different look from her mother.

When Yun Shishi’s DNA paternity test result came out, the test that Mu Wanrou had taken before, which contained no ‘issues’, became the biggest issue!

Who exactly was playing tricks?

Mu Wanrou?

Impossible.

How old was she back then? How was she capable of modifying the result of the test report?

There was definitely someone else who had tampered with the result.

Who could it be?
