Chapter 815 Not His Biological Child

Chapter 815 Not His Biological Child

After watching her leave, Qin Jiangye picked up the documents on the table again, flipping through them as he said, "We're both human, how come Huo Sinian has so much free time?"

"Should we tell Qin Mo about this?" Secretary Qin asked.

“No need.” Qin Jiangye casually flipped through the pages, his gaze sweeping over each one. “If he can’t even investigate something like this, then there’s no point in him chasing after someone.”

Secretary Qin hummed in agreement and said nothing more.

Qin Jiangye turned two more pages.

Then.

It was slammed onto the table.

Secretary Qin: "?"

Qin Jiangye leaned back in his chair: "I don't want to watch."

Secretary Qin: "Hmm."

Qin Jiangye: "You only have one 'hmm'?"

Secretary Qin: "You have the freedom to choose not to see it."

Qin Jiangye: "What I mean is, you come and help me take a look."

"This is your job." Secretary Qin said matter-of-factly, unusually not helping him with his work as before. "There are still three hours until you get off work. If you don't hurry up and finish this, you'll be working overtime until late at night."

"It's okay," Qin Jiangye said nonchalantly. "Anyway, you'll stay with me."

Secretary Qin: "I will relay your words to Mr. Qin verbatim."

Qin Jiangye: "?"

Qin Jiangye looked at him suspiciously, as if he were looking at a traitor: "When did you become Grandpa's man?"

"You should promise Mr. Qin yourself that you will work hard and handle your own work," Secretary Qin kindly reminded him. "Otherwise, you will lose everything you have now."

"I was just joking," Qin Jiangye said, completely unconcerned.

Secretary Qin produced a document from somewhere: "Mr. Qin has assigned me an assessment task. I will submit your performance report for this month to him at the end of the month."

"Secretary Qin," Qin Jiangye said, not expecting this response, "do you remember who pays your salary?"

Secretary Qin: "You said that Mr. Qin is the only person besides you who can order me around."

Qin Jiangye: "Did I say that?"

Secretary Qin: "I have said so."

Qin Jiangye: "I don't remember."

Secretary Qin: "It's alright, I remember my performance evaluation form."

Qin Jiangye sighed, sat up, and propped his head up with one hand: "Secretary Qin, you've changed. You used to be so dedicated and caring towards the boss, but now you've become so heartless."

Secretary Qin: "..."

"Who exactly are you? Get off my secretary, Qin," Qin Jiangye said.

Secretary Qin remained silent, simply placing several project proposals in front of him.

Qin Jiangye was exhausted just looking at it.

"These projects will be used in the meeting this week," Secretary Qin told him, dutifully fulfilling his duties as a secretary. "I've already highlighted the key points; please review them and we'll discuss them in the meeting tomorrow."

Qin Jiangye suddenly wanted to call Lin Tan back and chat with her for a while longer.

With others around, he can at least openly avoid working.

Lin Tan had already walked far away.

The car is on its way back.

Just as I was thinking of checking the date to arrange my work, I saw a call from Lin Ling on my phone.

She hesitated for two seconds before answering: "Hello."

"Sister!" Lin Ling's voice was urgent.

Lin Tan tightened her grip on her phone slightly.

My first thought was that Huo Sinian had told her about it.

After all, it wasn't the first or second time they had used the people around her to torment, remind, and provoke her.

"Sister?" Lin Ling called out again when she didn't respond.

"Hmm?" Lin Tan replied, "What's wrong?"

Now it was Lin Ling's turn to fall silent.

One second.

Five seconds.

Ten seconds.

She didn't say anything more.

"Lin Ling?" A sense of worry arose in Lin Tan's heart.

"What are you doing right now? Are you busy?" Lin Ling asked strangely. "Is it safe? Is there anyone else around besides you?"

Lin Tan: "?"

Lin Tan was puzzled, but still answered her, "I'm in the car, on my way back."

"Tell me when you get home, I have something very, very important to tell you!" As if afraid that Lin Tan wouldn't take it seriously, she emphasized it twice.

Lin Tan agreed.

After arriving home, she went to her room.

I called her.

"I'm in my room now." Lin Tan, unaware of what had happened, asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

"Is your heart okay?"

"?"

"You don't have a heart condition, do you?"

“Your sister is very healthy.” Lin Tan’s initial worry and anxiety eased considerably after hearing her two questions. “Tell me what’s wrong, I’m listening.”

Seeing her say that.

Lin Ling adjusted her state of mind.

After about four or five seconds, she finally spoke: "Do you remember when I used your hair to do a paternity test with Dad?"

"I remember." Lin Tan said calmly. "What's wrong?"

Lin Ling: "The test results are in."

Lin Tan: "You mean to say that I have no family relation with him?"

Lin Ling: "!!!"

Lin Ling exclaimed excitedly, "How did you know!"

"Alright." Lin Tan didn't believe her, assuming she was just joking, since she often said similar things in the past. "We can just talk about these things between the two of us, let's not let them hear it."

If my parents find out...

Who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause next.

“I’m not joking, it’s true.” Lin Ling said seriously, “You and Dad really aren’t related. I was worried about the results being inaccurate, so I had two different institutions do the tests.”

Otherwise, the results would have been out long ago.

There was no need to wait until now.

Lin Tanquan replied as if coaxing a child, "Mmm."

Lin Ling: "Really!"

Lin Tan: "Yes, really? Have you eaten?"

Lin Ling felt like she was going to die of anxiety.

I should have known better than to make so many jokes with my sister before, now she doesn't believe me anymore!

"See for yourself." She had no other choice but to send her the two paternity reports. "Just in case, I had them done by two different agencies. They both say that A and B are not related. A is your specimen, and B is Dad's."

Lin Tan casually clicked on the picture.

She paused when her gaze fell on the results of the expert report.

She looked at another one.

Same here.

"I knew it was strange that Dad was so good to me but so bad to you. Turns out you really aren't his biological child." Lin Ling's words still came through the phone. "I wonder who your mother's father was, her ex-boyfriend? Or someone else?"

Lin Tan stared at the results above: "Are you sure A is me and B is Dad?"

"Absolutely, definitely, and without a doubt," Lin Ling said. "Unless what you sent me wasn't your hair."

For the first time, Lin Tan felt his chest vibrate.

Isn't she Lin Jiancheng's daughter?

He treated her badly because she wasn't his biological daughter.

“I plucked Dad’s hair myself, without anyone else involved,” Lin Ling said fluently. “Do you know if Mom had ex-boyfriends or anything like that?”

"I don't know." Lin Tan was still not fully recovered.

"I'm really curious who your father is, but whoever he is, he's definitely better than the one you have now." Lin Ling wasn't sad at all; on the contrary, she was happy for Lin Tan. "However..."

Lin Tan was still staring at the result, her mind blank: "What?"

"Mom isn't good to you either. Does she hate your biological father? Or are you not her daughter?" Lin Ling began to think deeply. "No, no, you look a lot like Mom. The possibility of you not being her daughter is too low."
