Chapter 710: Chapter 710 Turns Out I’m Just a Tool

"I don’t want this, I don’t want this."

Quan Jinbei’s refusal was very straightforward.

The typical joy of becoming a dad, he just couldn’t accept it.

Not to mention, Shi Yaoguang bringing a child back for him to become a dad.

He might "happily" drop dead on the spot.

Then it wouldn’t be about becoming a happy dad anymore, but a bereaved dad.

Tsk.

Just thinking about it felt thrilling.

Alright, that was just a thought.

Quan Jinbei knew that Shi Yaoguang would never bring a child back to him.

He couldn’t help but glance at Bai Ruoxi and her son, wondering what was going on with them.

"Didn’t I say? Bai Tangyuan doesn’t want you to be happy about being a dad anymore."

Shi Yaoguang put it simply, but Quan Jinbei still didn’t quite understand.

If it were that easy to send Bai Ruoxi and her son away, it wouldn’t have caused such a fuss.

Little did he know, Bai Ruoxi really wasn’t there to pick a fight this time.

She had already received instructions from her superiors, what else could she do but comply?

This time, she was indeed bringing Bai Tangyuan over to make amends.

With such a big deal being made about illegitimate children in the country lately, how could Bai Ruoxi be unaware?

It was precisely because she knew about these issues that she didn’t dare to act rashly.

Otherwise...

She even thought about using public opinion to push her son to the top of the Quan Family’s succession.

Luckily she hadn’t made a move before she was given a task.

Otherwise, who knows what the situation would be like now.

In fact, the more she learned about Shi Yaoguang, the more she realized how insignificant she was.

If she actually did something to Shi Yaoguang, she probably wouldn’t need Shi Yaoguang to lift a finger; she’d be done for.

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but sigh.

If she had known it would come to this, she should have been more determined in the beginning.

Now, it’s all too late.

No...

She still had a chance.

Bai Ruoxi thought to herself as her gaze fell on Quan Jinbei.

"Mr... Mr. Quan!"

Quan Jinbei raised an eyebrow when he heard her address him, "Why aren’t you calling me third brother anymore?"

Bai Ruoxi touched her nose awkwardly, "I’m sorry, I lied before."

"Mr. Quan, I know I went too far before, letting Tangyuan impersonate your son was really terrible, I know I was wrong now, and I hope Mr. Quan can forgive me."

"Forgive?" Quan Jinbei scoffed, "Are you sure you need my forgiveness?"

"I feel like you don’t really need to discuss anything with me, do you?"

Bai Ruoxi indeed hadn’t discussed with him before, but times change.

With Shi Yaoguang ruining so many of her pawns, and even news from the Cheng family indicating that the leak came from Bai Tangyuan’s end.

If Bai Ruoxi couldn’t complete the task given by her superiors, she feared her prospects were dim.

With no way out, naturally, she could no longer keep up her act.

She adopted the posture one should have when seeking help.

"I was deluded before, I shouldn’t have started rumors about Tangyuan being Mr. Quan’s son just because he resembled you," she said.

Shi Yaoguang was quite interested in her tactics and immediately asked, "If you weren’t honest, how were you planning to prove that Bai Tangyuan is Quan Jinbei’s son?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoxi’s face showed a bit of embarrassment: "That... "

"Can’t you tell me?" Shi Yaoguang looked disappointed, "If you can’t say it, then never mind. Although I’m very curious, but I won’t make things difficult for you."

Bai Ruoxi heard this and knew all too well what he meant between the lines.

Without telling Shi Yaoguang, he indeed would not make things difficult for her.

At the same time, he also wouldn’t give her the chance to continue the act.

Bai Ruoxi inwardly cursed Shi Yaoguang for his hypocrisy and immediately told him how she planned to handle the situation.

"Actually, Tangyuan’s blood type is the same as Mr. Quan’s. The reason Tangyuan looks like Mr. Quan is because when Tangyuan was still an embryo, I used a certain technology on him..."

She stopped halfway, suddenly too embarrassed to continue.

Shi Yaoguang was very curious, "Keep going, what can’t you say?"

Bai Ruoxi awkwardly explained, "This technology involves many rounds of genetic modification. It started when Tangyuan was still in the womb..."

What Bai Ruoxi meant was that the doctors started altering Bai Tangyuan’s genes while he was still in her stomach.

This led Bai Tangyuan to look exactly like Quan Jinbei.

In simple terms, Bai Tangyuan’s resemblance to Quan Jinbei was sculpted.

The difference is that Bai Tangyuan’s face was "sculpted" starting from a young age.

Truth be told, Shi Yaoguang was very curious about this technology.

However, Bai Ruoxi didn’t know the specifics of how it was done.

She was only responsible for the gestation period, and everything else was handled by others.

Shi Yaoguang wasn’t surprised that she only knew the gist of it.

It would have been strange if Bai Ruoxi, who was clearly not a senior member, knew the core technology.

However, to be able to modify an embryo, it was clear that the technology was very advanced.

The current level of world technology probably hadn’t reached that stage yet.

As for DNA paternity tests, if they could sculpt a face, what’s so hard about faking a test?

Bai Tangyuan was learning for the first time that his existence was sculpted, and his expression slackened in shock.

Bai Ruoxi had forgotten that Bai Tangyuan was also present when she spilled these secrets.

Now, seeing Bai Tangyuan’s stunned look, she suddenly became anxious.

"Tangyuan, Mommy didn’t mean anything by what she said, don’t overthink it."

Bai Tangyuan looked at her, his eyes beginning to redden.

"Mommy, are you saying I was sculpted by someone?"

Saying this, he sniffled, his expression one of a baby feeling wronged yet trying not to cry, "Does that mean I’m different from other kids? Other kids are born from their mom and dad together..."

Bai Ruoxi explained, "No, other children are also born from their mom and dad."

"What about my daddy?" Bai Tangyuan looked at Quan Jinbei with pathetic eyes and choked up, "Mommy, you gave birth to me, but where’s my daddy? If there’s no daddy, how was I born? Am I just someone who was sculpted?"

"It’s not that..."

Bai Ruoxi didn’t know how to explain for a moment.

Bai Tangyuan was indeed born after she carried him for ten months.

She couldn’t have had Bai Tangyuan just by herself.

Before conceiving Bai Tangyuan, she had to go through a conception process.

But how do you explain this kind of thing to a little kid like Bai Tangyuan?

Shi Yaoguang looked at the emotionally crumbling Bai Tangyuan and said to Bai Ruoxi, "Tangyuan is not an ordinary child, you should explain to him clearly how he came to be."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoxi carefully observed Bai Tangyuan’s expression and knew that Shi Yaoguang’s words were not meant to deceive her, so she decided to tell all she knew.

Bai Tangyuan had always believed everything that Bai Ruoxi told him.

She had a relationship with his daddy, and it was only after they parted ways that she began living with him alone.

He never imagined that Bai Ruoxi had been deceiving him.

From the beginning, there was no daddy, and he, Bai Tangyuan, was just an existence like a tool.

This was very hard for Bai Tangyuan to accept.

"So I’m just a tool..." Bai Tangyuan couldn’t help but cry out loud. Hearing his pitiful crying, Bai Ruoxi hurried to explain, "No, Tangyuan, you are Mommy’s treasure. Mommy has never treated you as a tool; Mommy is also helpless."
