C723 As Expected We're Very Unfamiliar with Each Other

"I..." Xu Zhiyuan was really confused. He didn't know how to deal with it.

He truly loved Xu Wanwan. He had never doubted her identity in all these years, but now he suddenly told him. Xu Wanwan might just be an imposter...

His heart was really complicated. It was so complicated that he did not know what words to describe it.

"Actually it is not hard to know the truth. As long as uncle and Wan Wan do another paternity test, we will know."

"Chen, let me calm down first." Although Xu Zhiyuan had been very disappointed with Xu Wanwan, he had never doubted Xu Wanwan's identity in all these years. But when this result was presented in front of him, he felt as if someone had cut open his heart. It was so bloody that he could not look straight at it.

Lu Chen knew that Xu Wanwan's identity was a huge blow to Xu Zhiyuan, so he did not urge him.

"It's getting late today. I'll leave first and contact me when you understand."

"Alright." He nodded. "Tell your aunt when you get out. I want to be alone and tell her not to disturb me."

"Alright."

It took Xu Zhiyuan an entire night to digest this fact. He picked up his phone and wanted to call Qiao Yumeng to ask for Cheng Nuo's contact number. But in the end, he was afraid.

He was afraid that Cheng Nuo would blame him. He actually only saw Cheng Nuo in such a hurry. If he had known that she was his daughter, he would have treated her very well.

Early the next morning, Xu Zhiyuan called Lu Chen. "Chen, I have thought it through. This matter must be investigated clearly sooner or later. It is better not to be late. I have decided to let Wan Wan go home for dinner today."

"Do you want to ask her the truth in person?" Lu Chen felt that Xu Wanwan would deny it with her personality. The best way was to do the DNA test without her knowing. When the truth was laid out in front of her, she could not deny it even if she wanted to.

"No, I still want to do the paternity test first. If she doesn't know..." In the end, although Xu Zhiyuan was disappointed with Xu Wanwan, in the end, he treated her as his own daughter. He was also worried that the results of the appraisal would be different from what he expected. Instead, it would hurt the relationship between father and daughter.

"I think so too. Previously, we didn't tell you and Miss Cheng Nuo about the paternity test. We were worried that the results would be different from what we imagined. Instead, it would make you feel sad."

"Yes, I think so too. Don't let anyone else know about this matter for now... Especially your aunt. She will definitely think that we are lying to him." Xu Zhiyuan rubbed his forehead. He had never thought that something like raising a daughter for someone else would happen to him.

"Uncle, don't worry. I will keep it a secret for you."

"Then I will ask Wan Wan to come home for dinner tonight. Ask your mother to come with us. After all, it is strange that we are going to pluck Wan Wan's hair. Other than your mother, there is no other suitable candidate."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhiyuan took out Xu Wanwan's phone and stared at the name on it for a long time. Finally, he pressed the dial button with complicated thoughts.

Xu Zhiyuan actually called Xu Wanwan. This was something Xu Wanwan herself did not expect.

"Hello."

"Let's go home tonight."

"Is something the matter?"

"Nothing," Wang Yao said. "It's just that Chen and your aunt are coming to our house for dinner. It's been a long time since we last met."

"Yes, I know."

Xu Wanwan did not think that her identity had been exposed. She did not realize that Xu Zhiyuan did not call her by her name when he called her.

Of course, she did not call Xu Zhiyuan by his name.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhiyuan stared at the phone for a long time. The relationship between him and Xu Wanwan had long become as unfamiliar as a stranger. In the past, he did not feel it, but now that there was a barrier in his heart, he realized that Xu Wanwan really did not seem like a family to him.

"Knock, knock, knock." Lu Zhiwei stood at the door of the study room and knocked on the door tentatively.

Ever since Lu Chen left the night before, Xu Zhiyuan did not even come out for dinner. Lu Zhiwei had been worried about him.2

"What's wrong?" Xu Zhiyuan opened the study door and saw the worry on Lu Zhiwei's face. He could not help feeling heartache.

Even though his wife was willful, she was the same as him. She loved her daughter dearly. If she knew Xu Wanwan was only an imposter, he did not know how sad she would be.

"Ah Yuan, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Nothing. Right, I want to go back to my hometown and pay my respects to dad."

"I'll go with you."

"Okay," Wang Yao said. Xu Zhiyuan nodded. The couple didn't even have breakfast. They went straight to the old residence of the Lu family.

Ever since old master Lu's death, the old residence of the Lu family had become even more deserted. Only the old butler and two maids who took care of old master Lu were still there.

"Young Master and Miss, you're back?" When the old housekeeper saw the couple return, a smile appeared on his face that was full of wrinkles.

"Uncle Chen, we're back to pay our respects to Father."

"Alright, I'll go prepare now." The butler nodded and went to prepare candles and incense. He personally delivered them to Xu Zhiyuan before leaving respectfully.

After the incense was served, Xu Zhiyuan looked at Lu Zhiwei. "Dad and I have something to talk about. You go out and wait for me."

If it was before, Lu Zhiwei definitely wouldn't want to go out. But today was different. Xu Zhiyuan had always had a lot on his mind.

"Alright."

After Lu Zhiwei went out and closed the door, Xu Zhiyuan respectfully knelt down to old master Lu's memorial tablet. He laid on the ground and sobbed sadly.

"Dad, I didn't know it was curved until today... Our curve was changed by someone. You must have known about it before. That's why you are so distant from her..."

It was a pity that old master Lu had left long ago. No one could answer him.

"I can't imagine how the real Wan Wan came to this. As a father, I really failed..."

Xu Zhiyuan would only tell old master Lu everything he knew when he was facing old master Lu.

Half an hour later, he respectfully kowtowed to old master Lu's memorial tablet a few more times before getting up and wiping away his tears. He opened the door and went out.

"Ah Yuan..." Lu Zhiwei hurriedly went up to greet him. Seeing Xu Zhiyuan's red eyes, she knew that Xu Zhiyuan must have cried before. All the words were stuck in her throat.

It was said that a man's tears were not light. She had married Xu Zhiyuan for so many years, but she had never seen Xu Zhiyuan look like this.

"I'm fine. I just miss dad too much. Let's go back." Xu Zhiyuan reached out and held Lu Zhiwei's hand. Lu Zhiwei would have to accept this sooner or later.
