Chapter 828: Chapter 828: Twenty Years Later
No blood relation?
Not Lian He’s son, which means he also has no connection with Zhang Hualian.
Tang Yue’s expression suddenly turned gloomy. She always thought her affinity with Lian Qingyang was because of their blood ties, but now, suddenly discovering there’s not a shred of blood relation, she found it a bit hard to accept.
Suddenly, Tang Yue’s eyes brightened. She asked excitedly, "Since the other party took Lian Qingyang away, could they have done something in the process?"
A paternity test cannot always reveal everything, especially when there might be an unseen hand manipulating things; how can one trust the results then?
Si Yu gazed at her helplessly and said, "Dear, I know you want Qingyang to be your real brother, but..."
"Darling." Tang Yue said coyly, holding Si Yu’s hand, "My mom hasn’t been sleeping well over this for days."
"Please help me." Tang Yue was blinking her eyes innocently, her cute and soft voice calling him ’husband’ made his body feel like it was hit by electricity, leaving Si Yu with no reason to refuse.
Si Yu sighed and said, "Didn’t Lian Qingyang recently return to Sea City? I’ll have someone continue to look into Midwife Liu; surely we’ll find out the truth, okay?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Tang Yue nodded vigorously, her sweet smile brighter than sunshine.

"Tuantuan, how can you be so cute?" Tang Yue teased Tang Youlin in the stroller. Wei Jiajia took good care of her; Tuantuan, who was not yet one year old, wore a red outfit, accentuating her fair and rosy skin, her tender face resembling a freshly peeled egg.
Tuantuan babbled, saying nothing else besides ’mama’, yet even this unclear call made Tang Yue feel deeply moved, especially as she was also pregnant, feeling the baby move inside every day, stirring even greater emotion within her heart.
Wei Jiajia clearly understood, having had the same feeling when she was pregnant with Anan; seeing others’ children brought her boundless joy.
"Xiao Yue, you and Si Yu both have such good looks. When your child is born, they’ll definitely be even cuter than Tuantuan." Wei Jiajia sincerely said.
"Who knows." Tang Yue grinned, revealing her white teeth, with her bright eyes full of hope. It doesn’t matter whether the child is cute or not; as long as they are healthy, that’s all that matters.
As for appearance, it’s their own child; even if they’re not pretty, in a parent’s eyes, their child is always the best-looking.
"By the way, little aunt, do you have any newborn clothes Tuantuan wore?" Tang Yue asked directly.
Wei Jiajia looked a bit surprised, then nodded, "I’ve prepared them all, washed and aired them. I thought even if you didn’t ask, you’d take them when needed."
"Little aunt, I need them; aside from the undergarments, any outerwear can be given to me." Tang Yue didn’t mind if Tuantuan had worn them. She said, "I’ve prepared several swaddles and a small blanket, which can be used when the time comes."
"That’s enough; babies grow fast. After a while, you can buy new clothes, and a few swaddles are sufficient." Wei Jiajia remarked, "Once the baby is born, I’ll come over often. Second Sister-in-law hasn’t cared for a child in years and might be rusty."
"Great." Tang Yue was quite eager.
"By the way, has Xiao Jun called home recently?" Wei Jiajia changed the topic, maybe due to the approaching college entrance exam, she was constantly worried about Wei Jiajie.
Ever since he was young, Wei Jiajie wasn’t exactly a promising student. Achieving an average result in exams was already considered good.
After Wei Jiajia married, Wei Jie’s family moved in with Tang Jun’s, and his grades shot up, improving continuously, especially in the past three years of high school, where his results climbed to the top fifty.
Previously, with average results and no prospects, there were no expectations; now, with such outstanding performance, Wei Jiajia was often reminded by Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei, becoming quite anxious herself.
"Yes, he calls about two or three times a week, but Xiao Jun isn’t nervous at all." Tang Yue said with a laugh, "Jiajie’s results are also good; he’ll surely get into a university in Jing City."
"Ah, you don’t know how my parents call every day, talking about Jiajie’s college entrance exam, making me feel as if I’m the one taking the test." Wei Jiajia handed a little duck toy to Tuantuan and added, "I see that Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law are not worried at all."
"You’re mistaken; they’re worried too, but my dad is busy at the restaurant, and my mom is always knitting and cooking for me, so they don’t have much time. Sometimes I am grateful yet feel selfish."
Tang Yue said emotionally, "Xiao Jun needs company during his college entrance exam, but because of me, my parents left him alone at home."
Previously, she mentioned to her parents about accompanying Xiao Jun in Wangjiang County a month before the exams, but Tang Zhengde said, "He’s an eighteen-year-old young man now; he needs to stand on his own, and we’ll have no use being there during exams."
Zhang Hualian said, "You’re expecting twins. Someone needs to take care of you. Although your mother-in-law can look after you, I’m still worried."
Tang Yue tried to persuade them many times, but to no avail, so she could only comfort Tang Jun over the phone.
However, Tang Jun wasn’t bothered at all; instead, he even comforted Tang Yue, saying, "Sister, I’ll be in Jing City in a month, so you must prepare a room and clothes for me."
"Sister, you must treat my future niece and nephew well; don’t starve them just because you want to lose weight." Tang Jun repeated this often.
That very day, Tang Yue and Zhang Hualian went to Wei Jiajia’s house to collect the clothes Tuantuan outgrew; there were many clothes, several still new, all neatly organized by Zhang Hualian, ready to be picked up.
Next door, Qin Anyu returned with her child and came to Tang Yue right away. When Tang Yue mentioned needing Xiao Jin’s previous clothes, Qin Anyu brought over a pile without a word.
Tang Yue looked at the pile of clothes stacked like a mountain in the living room, her mouth twitching slightly.
"Xiao Yue, when Xiao Jin was born, he had many red and pink clothes he never wore. They’re perfect for my future daughter-in-law." Qin Anyu said with a fox-like grin, her gaze fixed on Tang Yue’s belly as if certain it housed a daughter.
"Wishful thinking." Tang Yue gave her a sidelong glance and said, "No matter if it’s a daughter or a son, let Xiao Jin come calling in twenty years."
