Chapter 57 -57: I Want a DNA Test
Ye Zhengrong glared at him. “Stop talking nonsense here! I think you’d be unhappy if a day passed without you trying to instigate a divorce between me and your mother!”
“Spitting out gum while speaking, get rid of it! And those clothes, jangling with all those metal rings—atrocious!”
“And what’s with your hair? Dye it back, right now! If you dare to show up at the wedding with green hair, say goodbye to your allowance. Go earn your own money with a part-time job!”
Ye Ziran scoffed, “You old fossil, you don’t understand fashion.”
He stood up and walked over to Ye Chuyi. “What do you think, is my hair cool or what?”
Not until he stood up did Ye Chuyi realize how tall he had grown, a good one meter eighty-five.
She looked up at him and told the truth, “You’re handsome, but the hair is pretty average.”
Ye Ziran paused in his gum chewing, uncertain whether to be happy or not.
There were actually quite a few people who called him handsome, but it was the first time someone stated it as fact like Ye Chuyi had.
Looking at Ye Chuyi’s face, which was almost identical to their father’s, his doubts grew.
He couldn’t believe that two people with no blood relation could look so similar.
He reached out to pluck a few strands of Ye Chuyi’s hair, then walked over to Ye Zhengrong and, despite his fiery glare, grabbed a clump of his hair too.
Ye Zhengrong, infuriated, slapped the table. “What are you doing?!”
“I’m going for a DNA test.”
“I’ve told you, she’s not my illegitimate daughter!”

“If you’re really not concerned, then why worry about me getting a test?”
Ye Zhengrong fell silent, angry. In his heart, he knew he was clean, with no women on the side; he was clearer on this than anyone. Ye Chuyi could not possibly be his daughter. Let his son go get the test if he wanted to.
Ye Chuyi didn’t take it seriously either, her arrival at the Ye family was a mere coincidence, initially just a case of Sheng Tingyuan mistaking her identity.
Instead, it was Ye Ziran who, seeing neither of them opposed, started to feel like he might be overthinking things.
If Ye Chuyi really were Ye Zhengrong’s illegitimate daughter, would they both be so nonchalant about it?
Dinner was ready on the table, and the “family” went to the dining room, where they had an uneasy meal, outwardly calm but inwardly discordant.
After dinner, Madam Ye spoke up. “Ziran, you drive your sister to the Sheng family. It’s a good opportunity to talk with your brother-in-law, to bond and strengthen the relationship.”
Ye Ziran retorted, “She’s the one getting married to Sheng Tingyuan, not me! Why should I bond and improve relations with him?”
However, Madam Ye wouldn’t allow refusal. “I can condone everything else from you, but on this matter, you must listen to me!”
With no other choice, Ye Ziran stood up to escort her.
The entire way, he didn’t speak to Ye Chuyi, nor did she bother with him.
Upon reaching the Sheng family home, he didn’t chat with Sheng Tingyuan more than was necessary—just said a quick hello and left.
Sheng Tingyuan watched his car drive away and asked Ye Chuyi, “You have a younger brother? How come you’ve never mentioned him?”
Ye Chuyi: “…”
So he didn’t know either; he truly didn’t care about the Ye family’s affairs at all.
There she was, worrying for nothing, afraid of being exposed. She even went out of her way to ask Madam Ye for information about Ye Ziran.
Now she felt relieved. With Sheng Tingyuan, she’d probably never be found out!
“It’s nothing worth mentioning.”
After speaking, Ye Chuyi turned to leave, but Tang Jin’s voice came from upstairs. “Is Xiaoyi back?”
Ye Chuyi had to go upstairs, to Tang Jin’s bedroom. “Mom, I’m back. How are you feeling today? Any better?”
