252: Remediation

From the balcony, Wang Cheng watched Wang De walk in front of Granny Wang. He expressed that he wanted to talk privately with his wife and sent the two bodyguards away. Meanwhile, Li hid in the corner and also watched this scene.

It was unknown what they discussed, but five minutes later, Wang De suddenly stood up and pulled Granny Wang, as if he wanted her to go with him. However, Granny Wang refused. The two were at a stalemate for a while, until Li finally appeared on the scene. Only after her appearance was Wang De able to persuade her. Just as they were about to leave, Wang Cheng came down.

Wang Cheng aimed his finger at Wang De, meaning to intentionally delay them in order to give the first bodyguard a wider opening. Although Wang De was not as savage and arrogant as Granny Wang, and occasionally showed traces of rationality, he was essentially the same as Granny Wang.

There was one thing Wang Cheng couldn't understand ever since he was a child. "Seeing as you are my father's father, I will call you grandpa for the time being. But one thing I have always wanted to ask you is, is my father truly your biological son?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang De, Granny Wang, and Li were all stunned.

"It's not that I’m purposefully angering you, but it’s that you and the old lady's attitude towards my dad is really too strange. He is also your son, but my dad has fared worse than my eldest and second uncles. In the Wang family, it’s my eldest uncle who is the most favored. Since his childhood, my dad was only able to wear old clothes that my eldest uncle or second uncle wouldn’t wear. I remember my father said that he was not able to wear new clothing of his own until he was eighteen, and even then, bought the new clothes at his own expense. When my father got married, his marriage gift for my mother was also paid for himself. Both my eldest uncle and second uncle were given houses, but when it came to my father, you only paid him a few hundred yuan as compensation. With such partial treatment, is my father truly your son?"

Wang De's face changed, but before he could speak, Granny Wang suddenly yelled.

"I knew that you had always been an evil-intentioned bastard. What do you mean by this? Of course, your father was born to me after those nine months. You must be looking for an excuse to let him avoid responsibility for the both of us. What kind of intentions do you have? Let me tell you, don't even think about it! Your father is still my son even after death!"

Looking at the red-faced Granny Wang, a strange color flashed in Wang Cheng's eyes. He had just wanted to question Wang De and make him feel a little guilty towards Papa Wang, he didn't really think that his father was not their son. After all, how could there be such similar coincidences in one family? However, why was Granny Wang's reaction so exaggerated? Wang Cheng felt as though there was something off with this matter.

"Your reaction is so big. I didn't really say that my father was not your son. However, the attitude the both of you hold towards my father really is strange. How can you, as biological parents, treat your son like this?" Wang Cheng suddenly laughed, "Medical treatment is so advanced now, it’s easy to find out if my father is your son or not. I’ll only need to do a DNA comparison, so it won’t take too long: the results will come out in three days."

"In your dreams! We won’t do it." Granny Wang's reaction was very aggressive.

Wang Cheng became even more suspicious. Her attitude was definitely due to a guilty conscience. If his intuition was correct, then this matter was not good, perhaps he should check it out.

“It’s okay; even if you won’t do it, I’ll check this out sooner or later. I never thought that my father would really not be your son. This is all thanks to you, old lady. Your reaction was so great that I just had to doubt this matter. I’ve decided to investigate thoroughly."

Wang Cheng looked at them with a firm gaze, and expressed his determination through his words.

Granny Wang's eyes widened and she couldn't speak for a moment. After a while, she turned pale and fainted.

Wang De and Li hurriedly moved to support her, but to no avail. The bodyguard was a step ahead of them, because he remembered Zhou Shao’s orders that the old woman should not be allowed to have an accident in front of his house.

This time, Granny Wang was carried all the way into the health clinic.

Wang Cheng came with the bodyguard as well. He didn't originally plan to come with him, but suddenly remembered something.

After they arrived, the small health center became crowded because several onlookers had followed them. The plot suddenly encountered a twist, so they were very curious about how this matter would develop.

A doctor surnamed Zhong was called over. Not long ago, he had been responsible for Granny Wang’s visitation. However, she obviously did not leave a good impression on him. Just after the current examination, Li immediately asked if there was anything wrong with her mother-in-law. Her inquiry method was very unskillful, as if hoping for Granny Wang to have an accident.

"Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with the old lady," said Doctor Zhong.

"How can she be unconscious without anything happening? Dr. Zhong, are you sure you really did not make any mistakes when checking her?" Li was unreconciled, for this would have been a great opportunity for them.

Dr. Zhong, whose ability was questioned, immediately grew unhappy. "Your mother-in-law has no injuries at all, and her face is not pale. It doesn't look like anything is wrong. Additionally, I have examined her before this. Shouldn’t I know if something happened?"

Li didn't expect him to be angry, and he also wore a slandered expression.

At this time, Wang Cheng suddenly said, "Dr. Zhong, can you please help the old lady take some blood tests? Since my aunt is truly worried about her mother-in-law, maybe there is something wrong."

"No, I believe Dr. Zhong, my mother-in-law should be okay." Li quickly refused, and then anxiously hinted at her father-in-law. Although she didn't know what that matter from a long time ago was about, she also knew her mother-in-law. If she was not guilty, she wouldn’t have had such a big reaction. Maybe Wang Hongxin really wasn’t their biological son.

Wang De sighed. "Dr. Zhong, my wife should be fine, there is no need for you to go through the trouble."

Wang Cheng glanced at the two with a faint smile. "How can that be? The old lady passed out at my door. If you don’t check her again, I am afraid that I might face some repercussions in the future. It is best to do a thorough inspection. Don’t worry, you don’t need to pay a penny, I’ll be completely responsible for the inspection fees. There are so many witnesses here, so you don’t have to worry that I will fall back on repayment.”

"I just remembered that it seems to have been almost a year since the old lady last came for a check up. I can take this opportunity to check on her again. Since this gentleman is willing to help pay, you are saving a few thousand yuan. If you miss such a good thing, there won’t be a second time,” Dr. Zhong suddenly said. He had a deep impression of Granny Wang. He didn’t remember the specific date of the last appointment, but vaguely remembered that it was almost a year ago.

At this time, the old lady in the ward suddenly made sounds as if waking up 'in a timely manner', and everyone immediately turned to her.

Wang Cheng insisted on helping Granny Wang with an inspection, and Dr. Zhong was cooperating with him. Seeing that she was about to be inspected, Granny Wang finally gave up on her pretense of fainting.

That's right, she was actually pretending to faint. If she didn’t faint at that time, who knew what amazing words Wang Cheng would say? So, she wanted to divert everyone's attention by fainting. When everyone carried her over, she also wanted to use this to frame Wang Cheng.

However, the development of this matter exceeded Granny Wang's expectations: Wang Cheng was not afraid, and even offered to help fund the inspection at his own expense. It was one thing to support the checkup, but he even asked the doctor to draw her blood?!

Granny Wang remembered the news she had seen on TV. It mentioned that DNA was identified by drawing blood from both parties. If Wang Cheng achieved his goal now, he would definitely try to compare her DNA to his father’s blood. Granny Wang grew worried, so she pretended to wake up.

"Oh, I feel a little dizzy." Granny Wang was unwilling to let Wang Cheng go, so when she woke up, she pretended to hold her forehead with an uncomfortable expression.

Dr. Zhong was a very experienced doctor. After close observation earlier, he found that Granny Wang had deliberately pretended to be faint, so he supported Wang Cheng’s plan. Seeing her appearance now, he could immediately tell that she was pretending again, and said, “It's normal for the elderly to feel unwell as they age."

"This dizziness should be inspected. I think it is necessary to trouble Dr. Zhong to check thoroughly," Wang Cheng said with a smile.

"No, I'm fine." The old lady pretended to pitifully shake her head. She then bitterly stared at Wang Cheng, finally unable to put on an act anymore.

When passers-by who hadn’t understood the situation realized that the old lady had been pretending to be unconscious and to have a headache, they were speechless. Even if Wang Cheng was not her biological grandson, that was no excuse for her to repeatedly scheme against him. She was so old yet still couldn’t stand her junior. Onlookers couldn’t help but sympathize with Wang Cheng's family, it really must have been bad luck accumulated for eight lifetimes that caused them to have such relatives.

Dr. Zhong looked over Granny Wang once again, then finally announced that there were absolutely no problems with her.

Since she was healthy, this farce didn’t have to go on.

Li accompanied the Granny Wang husband and wife out of the health center, and the others also left, as the show had basically ended.

Wang Cheng walked up to the trio and smiled briskly. "Old lady, let me tell you some good news. My parents are not going to be home for these next couple days. If you still want to squat in front of my house, you are welcome to at any time. Don’t worry, I will let my people be prepared, so if something goes wrong, you’ll be immediately brought to the health clinic once more. By the way, I don’t know if you knew this, but DNA identification does not have to be conducted through blood samples - it is also possible through hair and nails. So, you must protect your hair carefully."

Granny Wang stared at Wang Cheng, her chest undulating violently.

"Be careful, don't get too angry. I believe that you don't want to go to the health clinic again soon." However angry the old lady was was exactly how happily Wang Cheng laughed. He believed that Granny Wang would not dare to squat in front of his house for any longer.
