Chapter 763: Not Your Granddaughter

“That’s fine.” Bai Chenxi pursed his lips. “Long Jingyuan is an old man now. He can’t possibly kill his last remaining granddaughter, can he?”

“I’m just afraid that Jingrou’s identity will be exposed…”

“That is why we must hope that Jingrou will be more intelligent and insist that she only committed the crime out of her greed for money. With a clear motive, no one will pause to consider if her status as the Long family’s daughter is true or not.”

“Your sister is very smart. I’m sure she would have already thought of this.” Huang Zhishu did not worry about this.

A hint of displeasure appeared in Bai Chenxi’s gaze. “But just in case, if Jingrou is really ruined this time…”

Huang Zhishu nodded. “Mom knows what to do.”

…

Two days later, in the morning, in an intensive care unit on the thirtieth storey of the Jia Ya Hospital, Long Jingyuan opened his eyes as he laid on the hospital bed.

His gaze slowly became clear and he immediately noticed Fang Xinxin who was guarding by his bedside.

“Xinxin…” Long Jingyuan spoke hoarsely.

Fang Xinxin’s expression lit up when she saw that he had awoken. She rushed to press the bell to call for a doctor.

Doctor Shi Qian rushed over and conducted a thorough examination for Long Jingyuan. He concluded that Long Jingyuan was no longer in a critical state and gave them a set of instructions to follow before leaving the room.

“Water…” Long Jingyuan was extremely thirsty.

Fang Xinxin hurriedly poured in a cup of warm water. She supported him to sit up and considerately stacked the pillows up for him to lean against. She then slowly fed him some water.

Long Jingyuan felt much better after drinking some water. He took in her dark circles. It was clear that she hadn’t slept well in quite some time. “Little girl, Grandfather Long must have made you worry.”

She shook her head. “It’s fine as long as you are well.” She glanced at the bandage wrapped around his forehead. “How did you end up being injured so seriously? Who did it?”

Long Jingyuan pursed his lips silently. His expression was heavy.

“Bai Jingrou was the one who injured you with a flower vase, isn’t it?” Her tone was filled with certainty.

Long Jingyuan’s voice turned pleading. “Xinxin, could you not pursue this matter?”

In other words, he was admitting that Bai Jingrou had been the person who injured him.

“Why?” Although she had already guessed his thoughts, she still asked. “Don’t you know that, if I hadn’t rushed there in time, you would already have died in her hands.”

Long Jingyuan sighed heavily. “After all, Jingrou is my only family. That year, I made a mistake in chasing her father, Long Xuan, out of the family. I regret it deeply. I already have one foot in the grave. If my death will allow Jingrou to comfortably succeed the Long family’s business, in that case, there is no harm… even if my life ended a little earlier.”

Fang Xinxin suddenly felt deeply moved. The person before him was but an old man who dearly yearned for his family.

He was even willing to forgive someone who had attempted to murder him.

“What if Bai Jingrou isn’t your granddaughter?” Her voice was very soft.

A hint of astonishment flashed past Long Jingyuan’s gaze. “That’s impossible. I did a DNA test with the hair she previously brought to me. Her father is my son, Long Xuan. The DNA test conducted with her hair also revealed that she is my granddaughter. Those tests cannot be wrong. I personally watched it happen. There is no way the samples were replaced.”

“The results from DNA tests are undeniable.” Fang Xinxin nodded. “Could you tell me why you chased Long Xuan, your third son, out of your home that year?”
