Chapter 357: Conflicted Thoughts

"Those labs are under Lin Family, so there’s conflicts between Father and Mother, right?" Nan Xian Yu asked.

He had been meaning to ask this for a long time because he could remember that when he was young, his parents argued for a long time. At that time, he also realized that he didn’t only have one younger brother but also a younger sister.

It was a shock for him when they said that his sister is older than his younger brother.

Because he knew very well that when Nan Hua came to Nan Family, she was already almost one-year-old. At that time, she had learned how to walk on her own even if it was not very stable.

He thought his parents adopted a child.

But later on, he knew that they were his parents’ child who were lost outside.

Even though the explanation was a bit strange, it was indeed the best explanation for a young 9-year-old child who didn’t understand many things.

But the conflict between Nan Hai Yan and Lin Mei Yu lasted for more than a year.

That’s why Nan Xian Yu remembered everything so clearly.

It was very vivid in his mind because of how long the quarrel and investigation lasted.

"Yes." Nan Hai Yan was the one who answered. "These people are all throwing the blame to one another, causing a lot of scenes. I tried to backtrack through my side and found out that Lin Family was the one who funded the laboratory, so I have a lot of talk with Lin Mei Yu."

The so called talk was actually a fierce argument between the two sides.

When Nan Xian Yu was still young, the relationship between Nan Hai Yan and Lin Mei Yu were actually very good. The two of them would be respectful on the surface and interact with each other frequently.

No one would be able to see anything more.

They had maintained that respectful relationship for more than a decade.

But after the incident of Nan Hua’s birth came out, the relationship between Nan Hai Yan and Lin Mei Yu entered a freezing point.

The evidence didn’t involve Lin Mei Yu, but because she was the one who came in contact with the lab and also the fact that Nan Hua is indeed their child after the DNA test, Nan Hai Yan couldn’t think that Lin Mei Yu was innocent.

Thus, the conflict escalated.

Even though the two of them still maintained the respectful appearance in front of others, their relationship in private was such a mess.

"I see." Nan Xian Yu now understood many things that the family didn’t want to tell him back then. In fact, after Nan Hua’s disappearance, he thought that he would never know the answer.

Because everyone in the Nan Family refused to talk about their missing daughter. It would bring up the pain in their heart that they buried.

Nan Hai Yan looked at Nan Hua. He never expected her appearance back then, but for the next few years, he did try to become a good father for the three children. It was just that it was not enough.

Not enough at all.

"If you want to change your name, we can go to the official office," Nan Hai Yan added.

"No need." Nan Hua shook her head. She would not be used to the name if it was changed. Besides, Nan Hua felt that this name was good enough.

"I have a question."

"Yes, Xian Mu?"

"How did they determine the birth date if Nan Hua is born in the lab?" Nan Xian Mu still couldn’t understand how one could be born in the lab.

"There’s an artificial womb... well, it didn’t look like a womb honestly but more like a big tube. Once the baby was ready to be born, there will be alarm blaring and the baby had to be taken out," Nan Hai Yan explained.

Due to the investigation that year, he fully understood how the lab operate. But seeing these children who were all raised secretly in the lab as nothing more than lab rats... the anger within his heart were burning again.

There were several children in that lab and some of them even came from the big eight families.

It was clear how much of an uproar this incident caused them back then.

Not to mention, the addition of a child in their families were more than enough to change many things. Some of them were the child of themselves and their wife. But some others... were using the sample of other woman.

So it could be imagined how messy the situation was.

Some children were accepted while some others couldn’t be accepted because of the unknown mother or for other reasons.

In the end, they were put in a special orphanage that was heavily protected.

Because no matter what, the children were still the descendants of influential people who were powerful in certain field.

They couldn’t let the children go astray.

And the biggest problem was that some children were already over 5 years old. They could already remember many things and naturally understood that they were born and raised in the lab before.

Even if they were taken to their respective families afterwards, it would be hard to integrate for some reasons.

There might be some gaps in their heart because of their difference.

But these children were all taught not to say anything about their past.

Some of them were luckily still babies and would not be able to remember anything from this incident.

"Uh...." Nan Xian Mu nodded.

He had some picture in his mind by now even if it was not very clear.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and didn’t say anything.

"So, how many children are there?" Nan Xian Yu suddenly asked.

"I don’t know; I don’t have the list." Nan Hai Yan shook his head.

"Well, can we see the other children now?" Nan Xian Mu asked curiously. He wanted to see their differences between the children born normally and those from the lab.
