She spent years wondering whose daughter she was. That puzzle was solved when she found Xiang Caiping.
However, unexpectedly, the question suddenly came back now.
Who was she? Who were her parents?
âDarling,â Huo Jinyao held her hand. She instinctively tried to free herself from his grip but failed. She felt annoyed.
âLet go of me.â
That was not right. Something was definitely wrong.
âDarling.â
Huo Jinyao didnât let her go, but held her in his arms and said, âWhat happened to you?â
âLet go of me. I canât think like this.â
âDonât think,â Huo Jinyao held her tight, âDonât think. Look at me. Look in my eyes.â
Huo Jinyao looked at her and said, âWhat happened? Tell me.â
Su Qingsang looked at his handsome face. His vivid, bright eyes were fixed on her.
She slightly moved her lips but failed to let out a word.
Her eyes were a little red and her face was pale. Huo Jinyao held her tight and said, âWhatever it is, letâs go home first.â
Su Qingsang didnât say no, but followed him upstairs.
They went in, turned on the light and closed the door. Su Qingsang walked to the couch, sat down, and grabbed a cushion.
Huo Siyao glanced at her, then went into the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and put it in her hand.
âHave some water.â
The water flowed into her throat, dispelling some of the tightness in it.
Huo Jinyao turned on the air conditioning too. As the air temperature rose, Su Qingsang calmed down. She put the glass aside and held the cushion tight.
âHuo Jinyao, Iâm sorry. I shouldnât have yelled at you.â
Her attitude was awful. Huo Jinyao didnât say anything but held her hands.
âDonât mention that. What happened? Tell me.â
It was the second time he saw her like that. The last time it happened after that pregnant woman threw herself down the stairs. This time, it seemed to be even worse.
Su Qingsang pressed her lips together and stared at Huo Jinyao.
Huo Jinyao looked back at her, silent as well.
Su Qingsang dropped her head, seemingly to think. Huo Jinyao looked at her, patiently waiting for her to start talking.
The air conditioner worked very well. Su Qingsang felt a little hot. She took off her coat but didnât let go of the cushion in her arms.
She turned her face away, looking at a random spot.
âHuo Jinyao, have you heard about Mendelian genetic principles?â
âWhat?â
âMendelian genetic principles,â Su Qingsang said word by word composedly, without turning her eyes away from that random spot. âItâs about dominant and recessive genes, including the heredity law of blood type. In simple words, the patterns of blood group inheritance.â
âNo,â Huo Jinyao shook his head. He majored in commercial management, then an MBA. He had no knowledge of the medical sphere. âWhatâs about these Mendelian genetic principles?â
What did that have to do with the reason she was upset?
âAccording to Mendelian genetic principles, people with blood type O canât possibly have type AB children, regardless of the blood types of the other parent.â
âMm, so?â Huo Jinyao didnât see the point yet.
Su Qingsang finally turned her eyes back to him. âMy mom is type O. Do you know what my blood type is?â
âWhat?â Huo Jinyao guessed what she was about to say.
âIâm type AB.â Su Qingsang said with a calm face. âDo you understand? My blood type is AB.â
Huo Jinyao knitted his eyebrows to think carefully. After pondering upon her words, he looked at her and said uncertainly, âPerhaps your father is type AB.â
âHuo Jinyao, you didnât get what I said. Type O people canât possibly have type AB kids, no matter what blood type their spouses have. Blood type O is recessive. Two parents with type O and AB can only have type A or type B children.â
Looking at Huo Jinyaoâs eyes, Su Qingsang tried to make it clearer. âSo, even if my father is type AB, I would either be type A or type B, if Iâm the daughter of my mother and my father, but definitely not AB.â
This time, Huo Jinyao understood her. âAre you saying that...â He looked at Su Qingsang with a complicated expression on his face.
âIâm not Xiang Caipingâs daughter,â said Su Qingsang in a flat voice. âI canât be.â
Huo Jinyao fell into silence, looking at her. Su Qingsang didnât say anything else. She hadnât told Xiang Caiping about that yet.
Xiang Caiping hadnât recovered from the injury yet. She couldnât tell her. She didnât want to break her heart and worsen her condition.
Besides, Xiang Caiping had really been treating her as her daughter. How sad would she be if she knew that Su Qingsang was not her daughter?
Su Qingsang didnât even dare to imagine that. During the past two months, she and Xiang Caiping had grown in affection toward each other. She didnât want Xiang Caiping to be sad.
Who else could she talk to?
She wasnât Xiang Caipingâs daughter. So whose daughter was she? Was Su Chenghui really her father?
âIâm not Xiang Caipingâs daughter. Who am I? Whoâs my mother?â
Who was she? Was she Su Chenghuiâs daughter? If she wasnât, why did she grow up in the Su Family?
If she was Su Chenghuiâs daughter, who was her real mother? Was there another woman in Su Chenghuiâs life? Was that woman her mother? Did she send her to grow up in the Su Family for some unknown reason?
Su Chenghui never liked her. Was that because he always knew that she was not Xiang Caipingâs daughter?
Huo Jinyao stayed silent. He had some doubts and some clues, and now he finally connected them.
Su Chenghui never forgot about Xiang Caiping, but never liked the daughter that he supposedly had with her. Huo Jinyao had been wondering why the whole time.
He was definitely not trying to protect Su Qingsang from Li Qianxue and her child.
If Su Qingsang was who he claimed she was, he could act as if he didnât love her in front of the Su Family people, but be nice to her in private.
However, the truth was, he was never nice to her. Now Huo Jinyao finally figured out why.
Based on Su Qingsangâs words, he thought of another possibility.
âI think Su Chenghui might not be your father.â
âIf Iâm not his daughter, why did he raise me?â That did not make any sense.
âDidnât we talk about it last time? He kept you in the family to make Li Qianxue unhappy.â
âThat doesnât make sense. If Iâm not my parentsâ daughter, where is my Momâs, I mean, Xiang Caipingâs... where is her daughter?â
