Chapter 255: Chapter 255

Going to O State for the New Year, the work here in Beijing has to be completed before the holiday.

After her break, Rong Zhi returned to work in the third-floor laboratory, and with her presence, everyone’s efficiency directly increased several times.

Zhao Hecheng once said that Rong Zhi could lead an entire team, and now they finally felt that.

Busy without stopping until after nine in the evening, the first phase of data modification was completed. Rong Zhi took off her glasses and rubbed her brow, speaking plainly, "Time to get off work."

Lu Si immediately slumped back in his chair, for the first time feeling utterly defeated: "Teacher Rong, I think I need a fast-recovery pill."

Too tired, the kind of exhaustion that strikes from body to soul.

Rong Zhi is simply inhuman.

Being beside her really requires maintaining constant vigilance, or else any point missed might mean losing track of the entire process later.

Liu Yue Zhang patted his shoulder as a gesture of encouragement, "Stay calm, times like these will happen more in the future."

Thinking back, he was once overwhelmed by this too; young people still have less experience.

Lu Si wiped his face blankly.

Rong Zhi slowly fastened the button while taking off her protective suit and walked out; Bai Su was waiting for her on the first floor, and when he saw her come down, he stepped forward with a coat.

The down jacket was mid-length, nicely wrapping the boy’s slim and elongated body. Bai Su carefully arranged the collar, and with lowered brows, asked with a soft smile, "What shall we eat tonight?"

Unexpectedly, Rong Zhi directly answered.

Bai Su’s eyelids fluttered slightly, "No, avoid cold water in winter."

He recently read many medical books and realized Rong Zhi’s health was seriously depleted and must be nurtured warmly, and girls should avoid cold exposure in winter to prevent harm.

Thinking of this, Bai Su’s brows furrowed more deeply.

It seemed she has never had that since knowing her...

Rong Zhi was indifferent, "There is hot water in the villa."

Not giving Bai Su a chance to continue speaking, she turned and bid farewell to Lu Si and the others before leaving the laboratory.

Bai Su frowned, acknowledged Rong Zhi’s stubborn temper, said nothing and followed her out.

Rong Zhi took out the vegetables needed from the refrigerator, lifted the lid of the soup that had been simmering in the kitchen, and smelled a slightly bitter medicinal aroma.

It was a medicinal broth; Bai Su couldn’t stomach that kind.

"Didn’t you eat lunch?" Rolling up her sleeves, she washed her hands, picked up a boning knife, and began to handle pork leg bones.

Bai Su leaned lazily against the door frame, his gaze sliding from the boy’s fair side profile to her swift and elegant movements, watching her unique deboning technique, and he spoke unhurriedly, "I did."

He only ate a little; the lunch dishes had some medicinal herbs added for nourishment, but even the smell made him uncomfortable, let alone eating them.

Rong Zhi nodded, understanding him.

Tasting the medicinal flavor at lunch, it became clear that this man prepared an entire table of medicinal dishes to help her nourish her body, yet ended up unable to eat them himself.

Jiang Gujun and the others would return in half an hour, so she planned to make five dishes and a soup. Bai Su wanted to help but received a call from RH Group, needing to handle work, he had to leave.

Once busywork finished and back in the kitchen, Rong Zhi had already finished cooking the dishes, just waiting for the soup to be ready, and coincidentally, everyone arrived home ready for dinner.

Rong Jiazze was still full of excitement, enthusiastically describing to Rong Zhi what he played with at the amusement park today, while Rong Zhi listened patiently, sipping her soup.

She used public chopsticks to pick up a piece of celery fried pork and placed it in Bai Su’s bowl, attracting gazes from Ying Yunlin.

Bai Su accepted Rong Zhi’s feeding service without any burden, his beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, feeling unprecedented satisfaction.

After dinner, Ying Yunlin wanted to return to the hotel, and Rong Zhi accompanied him.

"Did he contact you?"

In the car, Ying Yunlin rolled the window up tightly, turned his head, and asked.

Rong Zhi turned the key in the ignition, unwrapped a lollipop from the storage compartment and bit it, her voice low and indifferent, eyes clear and focused on the road ahead, "Yeah, after I finish my work."

"Looks like he’ll have to step in," Ying Yunlin said sourly, "I’ve turned this down anyway, you’d better think about how to handle the other seven; don’t blame your brother for not reminding you."

On the way back, Song Yue texted saying Rong Jiazze’s paternity test results were out. He had already arranged for a meeting with Gao Xiaoguang and Liu Fang at the testing center tomorrow, and Rong Zhi replied, "Okay."

The next day, after dressing appropriately, Rong Zhi took Rong Jiazze out.

Bai Su had to go to Mingwu High School, so he didn’t accompany them.

A bright red banner hung high in front of the main teaching building, congratulating Rong Zhi on winning first place in the national math Olympiad, with golden letters particularly striking. Bai Su paused in his steps, contemplated for two seconds, then took out his phone to take a picture.

At the educational office.

Yao Xiaoshan placed the application materials for guaranteed admission on the table, "Just fill this out."

Bai Su nodded, his slender fingers gripping the pen as he began to write. The form required Rong Zhi’s measurements, and he filled them out almost without pause.

Yao Xiaoshan glanced from beside him, her brows slightly furrowed as she gazed at Bai Su with increasing seriousness, her lips pursing, though she said nothing.

Understanding details between young couples is normal, it’s just that Rong Zhi is still young now, and this gentleman might be a bit too eager.

After filling the form, there were still some procedures to handle, so Bai Su sat in the office waiting. Just then, the school bell rang, and many students passed the educational office spotting a handsome man sitting alone, pausing to peek, with a couple even blushing shyly.

At the door of the paternity testing center.

Liu Fang, with reddened eyes, hugged Rong Jiazze and cried, "My poor child, mommy misses you so much!"

Compared to the last cold encounter, upon meeting again, Gao Xiaoguang and Liu Fang finally displayed emotions characteristic of family reunion.

Gao Xiaoguang repeatedly checked the paternity test in hand, glancing back at the boy in Liu Fang’s arms.

The test stated that a DNA match showed a 99.99% probability of father-son relationship, legally proving him as Rong Jiazze’s biological father.

Heart aching, he turned his head, holding back tears.

Who wouldn’t miss and care about a child lost for years? Previously, it was uncertainty that held emotions back; now, with blood proof, holding back no longer seemed necessary. Newest update provided by Nove1Fire.net

Rong Zhi stood to the side, her hand lazily slid into her pocket, eyes slightly narrowed, expression unchanged.

Song Yue, smoking a cigarette, inhaled, and spoke slowly, "Now you should be relieved."

The family reunion drama was genuinely touching, at least it had more warmth than her superficial meetings with the Rong Family.

Tilting her head, basking in winter’s faint sunlight that wasn’t too glaring, she smiled lightly, "Indeed."

After the emotional moment passed, they discussed Rong Jiazze’s future plans. Rong Zhi respected his wishes, letting him decide.

Rong Jiazze tugged at her clothes, signaling for her to squat down.

Rong Zhi half-squatted.

The child flung himself into her arms, face pressed against her, speaking in sobs, "Brother, I don’t want to leave you, but, but I also..."

"Don’t cry," Rong Zhi gently stroked the child’s hair, voice calm and warm, "You should go back, brother will be here."

Rong Jiazze paused, then cried even harder.

In the end, he couldn’t resist the longing for home within his heart and chose to leave with Gao Xiaoguang and Liu Fang, with Song Yue taking him to Tingshan Villa to pack his belongings.

Rong Zhi didn’t follow; she turned her car around and headed towards Mingwu High School.
