Jin Ye, under Su Ding's smiling gaze, opened the paternity reports for Xiao Xi and Xiao Rui.
He quickly scanned the contents of the reports.
His gaze fixed on the final conclusion line, which clearly stated, "The two are related by blood as full siblings," meaning twins.
"Xiao Xi and Xiao Rui... are twins?!"
Jin Ye's usually calm face showed shock and explosion for the first time!
It wasn't that he hadn't suspected why the two children looked so alike, but ever since he saw the previous report stating no blood relation, he had completely dismissed his doubts.
After all, the world couldn't be that coincidental.
The woman he liked happened to be the biological mother of his children.
This possibility was too low, and besides, he hadn't met Su Ding before getting to know her.
"How is this possible..."
The hand holding the report trembled slightly. He reread the report word for word, then handed it to Su Ding.
Seeing Jin Ye's expression, Su Ding had already guessed the result, but she still took it and glanced at the outcome, her lips curving slightly.
It seemed Shao Lin was right; she had given birth to twins!
Xiao Xi was her own son.
And the man from that night was... Jin Ye.
"You already knew?" Jin Ye asked in surprise, seeing Su Ding's calm reaction.
Su Ding nodded and smiled, "I only found out recently."
Jin Ye looked at Su Ding with confusion.
"Six years ago, in Room 1028 of the Emperor Grand Hotel..."
Su Ding recounted the story slowly, framing it as a narrative, clearly stating that Jin Ye had an encounter with a woman that night.
Afterward, he discovered that woman was Shao Lin.
Ten months later, Shao Lin showed up at the Jin family with the child and brought it to Zhao Qin and Jin He. How could the Jin family's flesh and blood be living outside?
Thus, an agreement was reached: Shao Lin was given five million yuan, and as long as she didn't reveal her identity as the biological mother to the child, she would be given everything she wanted.
Shao Lin agreed.
For several years, she had been living as Jin Ye's rumored girlfriend, becoming the most esteemed woman in Jiang City, and gradually winning Zhao Qin's favor.
Everything was unfolding according to Shao Lin's plan.
Until Su Ding's sudden return...
Jin Ye, who had always been indifferent to romance, had finally fallen.
"How do you know all this?"
The more Jin Ye listened, the more surprised he became, and then he felt a bit embarrassed.
After all, admitting to having had an encounter with Shao Lin in front of his wife made him uncomfortable.
"That's all in the past."
Jin Ye didn't want to talk about it, his mind still processing the recent facts.
"Is Xiao Rui your biological child?" Jin Ye asked, uncertainly.
Su Ding was somewhat helpless, thinking that this man hadn't grasped the truth yet, but she believed it was more likely that Jin Ye was afraid of misunderstandings.
So, she turned around, cupped Jin Ye's face, and said firmly, "Xiao Rui is mine, and Xiao Xi is also mine. Mr. Jin, don't you realize something yet?"
"The room that night..."
"Was me."
Su Ding's clear eyes stared directly at Jin Ye.
A flicker of astonishment crossed Jin Ye's eyes, followed by a flood of distant memories. That night had indeed left a deep impression on him.
However, Shao Lin afterward was too different from the person in his memory.
Now Su Ding claimed that the woman that night was her?
Jin Ye looked at Su Ding again, tracing her eyebrows, features, and contour over and over. At this moment, they slowly began to merge.
The hazy, vulnerable appearance blended with Su Ding's clear, resolute face.
"It was you!"
Jin Ye grabbed her shoulders abruptly, his eyes filled with surprise and then delight. "Why did you... leave that night? Why was Shao Lin there when I woke up? And the children... what exactly is going on?"
Jin Ye had never inquired about Su Ding's past.
Su Ding had never volunteered to speak about it, because her experiences over the past twenty-odd years were a terrible nightmare to her.
But now he desperately wanted to know.
"Six years ago, my mother was seriously ill and needed surgery fees. I was still in college and had no money. I asked my father for help but was kicked out. Shao Lin told me..."
Su Ding's expression turned painful and conflicted as she spoke, as if reliving that desperate situation...
Before she could finish, Jin Ye held her hand, as if sensing her pain, and softly said, "I know what happened afterward. Shao Lin wanted to replace you, and after you gave birth to the children, Shao Lin deliberately took one away to prevent you from discovering..."
"This Shao Lin..."
A ruthless glint flashed in Jin Ye's eyes. "Deserves to die!"
"Everything that happened on our wedding day was orchestrated by Shao Lin, and her goal was to take my blood to treat Xiao Xi in the name of a biological mother."
Su Ding's voice was cold. "However, Shao Lin is already in prison. Everything she did will be punished by law."
"What we need to do now is to deal with the two people behind Shao Lin."
"Who?" Jin Ye's expression sharpened, and he asked.
"Wen Min and Jiang Jiayi."
At this point, Su Ding explained how the two people who had been helping Shao Lin had plotted, especially how Jiang Jiayi had changed her name to He Qing and moved into the Jin residence.
And today, they were going to the Jin residence to see what He Qing's true intentions were.
"Jiang Jiayi and my father?"
Hearing this, Jin Ye's expression became somewhat peculiar. This was too unbelievable.
Jiang Jiayi's purpose after plastic surgery was to seduce his father?
If she couldn't have him, she would become his stepmother?
Jin Ye found this reason somewhat laughable. "My mother would never allow such a thing to happen."
"Yes, but what if your mother also has difficulties?"
Su Ding didn't reveal the news that his parents were already arguing and on the verge of divorce, and that his mother had moved out.
After all, she had promised Zhao Qin she wouldn't say anything.
However, once they went to the Jin residence, Jin Ye would naturally find out everything.
"My mother?"
Jin Ye didn't understand what Su Ding was implying. He didn't consider Wen Min and He Qing a threat, as he had gained experience from past events.
He would never allow what happened before to happen again.
"Let's go to your house to take a look later."
Su Ding patted his hand, indicating that there was a second paternity report.
Jin Ye put down the children's paternity reports and said, "Do the children know about this?"
"They don't know yet. We'll tell them tonight when we get home."
Su Ding said with a smile.
She was also eager for Xiao Xi and Xiao Rui to know this good news.
Xiao Xi no longer had to worry about a biological mother suddenly appearing to break the bond between him and his mother, Su Ding.
Su Ding was his mother!
She always had been!
"I want to tell Mom and Dad about this when we go back to the old house later."
If this happened, his mother would have no reason to hold any prejudice against Su Ding, and his father would no longer have to argue with his mother over this.
Jin Ye thought this.
Su Ding nodded and did not refuse.
At this moment, Jin Ye opened the second paternity report, which was between Jin Ling and Jin Ye.
Upon seeing it, he was once again stunned.
"That kid is indeed my twin brother!"
