“According to the test report, you are not Huang Xing’s biological father.”
The moment Qin Jiang said this, Huang Shao felt his head buzzing, and the whole world seemed to spin around him. He braced his hands on the table, barely managing to keep himself from collapsing.
“Dr. Qin, are you serious? Huang Xing… really isn’t my biological son?”
Qin Jiang nodded solemnly. “That’s what the paternity test report shows. If you have doubts, you can go to another facility for a second test.”
Huang Shao fell silent.
He certainly didn’t think there was anything wrong with the equipment at Qin Jiang’s clinic. Because the moment Qin Jiang announced the results, both Ding Fang and Meng Fan’s faces turned deathly pale.
Gao Man let out a cold laugh. “I knew there was something going on between you two. Meng Fan, if you’re a real man, be honest with me—whose child is Huang Xing, really?”
Seeing that the truth could no longer be hidden, Meng Fan had no choice but to confess everything.
“Yes, Huang Xing is my child. I… I did go behind everyone’s backs and secretly visited the kid before.”
As soon as Meng Fan admitted it, the live-stream chat exploded.
“Just as I thought—there’s no such thing as pure friendship in this world. I actually used to envy their bond. I was way too naive.”
“This guy is an absolute scumbag! Someone treated him like a brother, and he sleeps with that person’s wife? And then makes his so-called brother raise his own kid? That’s just being a complete doormat!”
“If I had a ‘brother’ like that, I’d stab him without a second thought. The humiliation of that betrayal is unbearable—it’s like being treated like a complete fool.”
Huang Shao, after all, was a well-educated man. He stared at the two of them with icy eyes and said coldly, “Getting to know you two has been the biggest regret of my life.”
“But I’m not someone to be trifled with. I’m taking this matter to court. Ding Fang, don’t expect a single cent from me. And as for this child, I want nothing to do with him.”
With that, Huang Shao turned and walked away without looking back. No matter how much Ding Fang called after him, he remained completely unmoved.
Huang Shao’s reaction left many netizens feeling unsatisfied. The two people who wronged him were standing right there—even if he didn’t want to hit a woman, couldn’t he at least punch Meng Fan? Instead, Huang Shao handled it with such composure, as if he had no temper at all.
Viewers in the live chat quickly came to his defense.
“Wait, does this guy have no backbone at all? He just leaves like that?”
“What else do you want him to do? Throw a punch right then and there? They might have been waiting for him to do exactly that—then he’d be in the wrong even if he was in the right.”
“True story from my area in Jintang. A husband brought a group of his buddies to catch his wife cheating. But because they forcibly entered the room, every single one of them ended up in detention.”
“Especially the husband—he hit the other man, but then got sued for assault. Not only did he have to pay compensation, but he also ended up doing time.”
There are plenty of other outrageous cases like this—it’s not just a one-off. For instance, if a thief gets caught by a homeowner and falls to their death out of panic, the homeowner can still be held criminally liable. No one ever expects things to turn out that way, but in the end, the rule is simple: if someone hits you, you can hold back and not fight back. But the moment you raise your hand, the whole situation changes.
So Huang Shao was a smart man. By doing absolutely nothing, he actually set himself up for a better outcome when it came time to divide marital assets.
Seeing Ding Fang about to leave with the child, Qin Jiang stopped her. He pointed to the QR code on the table and said, “Didn’t you say earlier that you’d cover the treatment costs together? Scan and pay—total is 3,500 yuan.”
Ding Fang and Meng Fan’s faces turned green. They had originally just come for a consultation, but ended up having their secret exposed in the most public way possible. And to make matters worse, they still had to cough up the medical fees. After reluctantly paying, the two left the clinic without another word.
Ding.

Meng Fan didn’t even have the mood to ask Qin Jiang for a prescription—he went straight home to figure out how to win Gao Man back.
Watching the three of them leave, Liu Yan couldn’t help but say, “I never expected such a happy-looking family of four to end up like this. Honestly, it makes me not want to get married anymore.”
Qin Jiang, however, was unfazed. He said calmly, “That has nothing to do with marriage itself—it’s all about the people involved. Some people are just naturally dishonest. They always have one eye on what’s in their bowl and the other on what’s in someone else’s pot. That kind of greed is innate. Even if they never got married, they’d still end up crossing boundaries in other areas of life.
“In fact, strictly speaking, people like that are ‘sick’ in a way. A healthy, well-adjusted person wouldn’t make such irrational choices—there’s absolutely no benefit to it.”
Qin Jiang’s words actually had a solid theoretical foundation. For instance, people with liver issues tend to be irritable and quick to anger. Those with kidney problems often struggle with excessive lust. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, every personality flaw is likely tied to an underlying physical health issue—that’s why people behave the way they do.
As Qin Jiang spoke with such ease, both Liu Yan and the netizens in the live chat were completely captivated. It was the first time they had ever heard someone explain human behavior from a TCM perspective—and it was surprisingly fascinating.
Just as Qin Jiang was sharing his insights, a couple walked in from outside. Seeing new customers, Qin Jiang set down his cup and looked at them.
“Which of you needs to see the doctor?”
The woman quickly said, “Doctor, please see my boyfriend first. His condition is more serious.”
Qin Jiang nodded. “Alright. Go ahead and scan your IDs to register your personal info first.”
Both of them pulled out their IDs and scanned them. That was when Qin Jiang learned that the woman was Wei Lan and the man was Gan Rui. The young couple had both come to the city for work, but recently, Gan Rui had been feeling unwell all over. This discomfort wasn’t just affecting his job—it was also ruining his sleep at night.
During the day, he had no energy to work. At night, he couldn’t fall asleep. This torturous cycle had been going on intermittently for over half a month. If he couldn’t get this illness cured, Gan Rui felt like he was about to lose his mind.
After setting up their files, Qin Jiang asked, “Go ahead—tell me exactly where it hurts.”
Gan Rui quickly replied, “Dr. Qin, my main problem is that my whole body aches. It feels like someone is drilling into my bones with an electric drill. It’s absolutely unbearable.”
