Once he started talking, he could easily make a mistake, and Su Qingsang could grasp something from his words. He had made a misstep once. He could not let that happen again.
Su Chenghui didnât say anything. He couldnât possibly stay completely silent, though. Sensing Su Qingsangâs aggressive attitude, he suddenly started feeling a little angry.
âIâm going to say this one more time. I donât know what youâre talking about. If you are not Xiang Caipingâs daughter, whose daughter are you?â
Perhaps Su Qingsang was lying. If she wasnât Xiang Caipingâs daughter, why did she become so close to Xiang Caiping during the past few months?
They never lived together before. Xiang Caiping was never there for her when she was a little girl. If she were sure that Xiang Caiping wasnât her mother, she would have walked away from her long ago.
Su Qingsang stared at his face. She wasnât surprised by Su Chenghuiâs reaction.
She gave a sigh and said, âAre you wondering why I didnât tell her that Iâm not her daughter, while I clearly know about it?â
Su Chenghui didnât respond to Su Qingsang. He did feel that he knew less and less about this daughter of his.
âBecause I really see her as my mother, even though we are not related.â
Su Qingsang lowered her head while speaking.
She was wearing the sweater that Xiang Caiping made for her, and the necklace that Xiang Caiping gave her.
The sausages that Xiang Caiping prepared for her were still hanging on her balcony. Every single morning, she heard Xiang Caipingâs gentle and warm words.
That was the motherâs love that she never had before.
She didnât want to lose it, even though she was clearly aware of the fact that Xiang Caiping wasnât really her mother.
Even more difficult for her was to hurt Xiang Caiping. Xiang Caiping was so nice to her. If she found out that her daughter, whom she cared so much about, wasnât really her daughter, how devastated would she be?
Su Qingsang didnât have the courage to think about it, let alone do it. She didnât want to break the heart of an innocent woman.
âDad, can you tell me who I am, and who my mother is? Who is my father? Whose daughter am I? Who brought me to this world?â
âSu Qingsang.â Su Chenghui looked at his daughter. For the first time, he seemed helpless on his face. âAgain, I donât know what youâre talking about.â
Su Qingsang looked back at him, coldly.
She wasnât stupid. Su Chenghuiâs attitude was very weird. Her brain worked fast. Many details and possibilities flashed across her mind.
âItâs obvious that Iâm not Xiang Caipingâs daughter. You canât deny that. If you want proof, I can do a DNA test.â
Su Qingsang looked Su Chenghui in the eyes, and said word by word, âThe test result canât be faked. It will tell with complete certainty whether Iâm Xiang Caipingâs daughter or not.â
Su Chenghuiâs expression shifted. However, he calmed back down in just a second.
Su Qingsang had her eyes fixed on his face, so she wouldnât miss any slight expression of his.
âNow, I really want to know if Iâm your daughter or not. Am I?â
Su Chenghui finally regained some of his confidence. âSu Qingsang, stop talking nonsense. If youâre not my daughter, whose daughter are you?â
Was he so generous as to raise someone elseâs daughter?
Hearing himself, Su Chenghui realized that he had said something he shouldnât have. As he thought, he saw Su Qingsang curve her lips in a knowing smile.
Finally, she seemed to have unearthed Su Chenghuiâs secret.
âIâm your daughter?â Su Qingsang held his gaze. âReally? Are you sure?â
âSu Qingsang, mind your attitude.â
Su Qingsang didnât ask more questions. The angry and irritated look on Su Chenghuiâs face made her believe what he said. That made sense. Which man would be willing to raise someone elseâs child?
So, she was Su Chenghuiâs daughter, wasnât she?
She nodded and looked at Su Chenghui mercilessly. âIâm your daughter, but not Xiang Caipingâs. Therefore, there was another woman in your life. My Mom doesnât know about her, nor does Aunt Li. Am I right?â
âSu Qingsang, are you done talking?â Su Chenghui couldnât bear listening to her. What kind of man did Su Qignsang think he was? Another woman? That sounded awful.
âYou betrayed my Mom and Aunt Li. You never loved my Mom.â
In fact, she could easily guess that Su Chenghui didnât love Xiang Caiping. If he did, the two of them would have been together a long time ago.
She refused to believe that the Li Family tore the two of them apart. She had lived with Old Master Li and Li Qianxue for quite a long while. The Li Family couldnât possibly force Su Chenghui into his marriage with Li Qianxue if he didnât want that.
âSu Qingsang,â Su Chenghui didnât know what to say, so he simply said, âShut up.â
She was only a child in his eyes. What could she know about this business?
Su Qingsang smiled meaningfully, and asked, âDoes Aunt Li know about it?â
She always felt that Su Chenghui was an irresponsible man. It turned out that he was even worse than she thought.
He kept in touch with Xiang Caiping while he was with Li Qianxue, and at the same time, another mysterious woman was in his life.
It was the first time Su Qingsang learned that Su Chenghui was capable of that.
âSu Qingsang, shut up.â
Su Chenghui pulled a long face. He made a step forward and seemed to lose his temper right away. âHave you said enough yet?â
âNo,â Su Qingsang looked at his angry face and showed no sign of stepping back. âIâm not finished yet. I have the right to know who my real mother is, donât I?â
Su Chenghui was stunned a little at first, then abruptly turned his face away and said, âThatâs not something that you need to worry about.â
âNot something I need to worry about?â Su Qingsang wanted to laugh. âWhat do I need to worry about then? Dad, I know you donât like me, but Iâve been calling you âDadâ for over twenty years after all. Now, all I want is the truth, the answer. Canât you even give me that?â
âThere is no answer. Youâve been overthinking.â
âNo answer? Well, maybe I should be wondering if Iâm your daughter or not.â
âSu Qingsang, watch your attitude. Iâve told you that what you said is nonsense. If youâre not my daughter, whose daughter are you?â
âAlright, since you said that Iâm your daughter, let me ask you something. Where is my Mom? Where is she? Who is she?â
âSu Qingsang,â Su Chenghui felt so annoyed. It didnât happen often, but this time, he was angry because of Su Qingsangâs unwanted attitude, âWho gave you the right to be like this? Who allowed you to talk to me like this?â
