Chapter 373: Paternity Test_1

Guan Ya didn’t beat around the bush, she went straight to the point.

She only has one daughter, Cao Shiyu, whom she naturally cherishes and can’t bear to see her being wronged in any way.

She knew that Su Hongxing was a pitiful person too.

Had Shiyu not interfered, Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan might not have divorced.

Cao Zhen always prioritized profit, so why would he want to adopt Su Hongxing now? Something about this situation seemed too strange.

“After all, it’s our Cao Family that has wronged her. I’ve thought it over, and won’t change my decision. If Miss Su agrees, I will bring her back to live at our home…”

“I disagree! Dad, Mom, I can’t coexist with Su Hongxing. If Dad insists on this, I… I will run away from home!!” Cao Shiyu interrupted Cao Zhen’s words emotionally.

She thought that by bringing up her mother, her father would change his mind. But it turned out that he was still adamant.

This was her home, Su Hongxing absolutely could not move in.

She had a faint intuition that Su Hongxing was a malicious woman who would take away everything that belonged to her. She could not let this happen.

“Do you think you can survive if you run away from home? Have you ever earned a penny by yourself? It’s my fault that you are so unruly. If you want to run away from home, no one will stop you, but remember, once you leave this house, don’t come back!” Cao Zhen glared and stormed into his study.

Cao Shiyu was choking on her words, Guan Ya wiped away her tears contemplatively, “Your father has always been the one making the decisions in this family, there is no room for me to speak. Judging by his current demeanor, he is determined to adopt Su Hongxing, you should just accept your fate.”

Just now Cao Zhen had entered his study again.

Lately, Cao Zhen liked to shut himself in his study, showing signs of discomfort. Could there be some sort of secret within his study?

That night, Guan Ya spent a long time trying to pacify Cao Shiyu, returned to her bedroom only to find that Cao Zhen had not yet come back.

Unable to sleep, she waited and waited until two in the morning when she finally heard some movement at the door.

It didn’t take long before Cao Zhen fell asleep.

Looking at her sleeping husband, Guan Ya felt bitter. She remembered once upon a time, how much she loved this man. The day she found out she could marry him, she was so happy that she stayed awake all night.

On the day of their marriage registration, she was overjoyed, but saw a trace of loneliness in Cao Zhen’s face…

Unable to sleep, Guan Ya eventually got up.

She heated a cup of milk, took a couple of sips, and then walked to the study.

This was Cao Zhen’s private territory, and she knew better. Since Cao Zhen didn’t like her entering the study, she seldom came in.

But this time, she was curious about what secret Cao Zhen might be hiding here.

She went to the safe and punched in the code.

The safe code had nothing to do with her, Cao Zhen, or Shiyu. Once, when she was cleaning this place, she saw Cao Zhen unlocking the safe and memorized the code at one glance. She had never forgotten it over the years, not expecting it would be of use today.

The code had not changed, and the safe opened.

There wasn’t much stuff in the safe, but the document that stood out the most had the words “Parent-Child Identification” on it, which made her heart tighten.

Her hand trembling, she summoned the courage to open the assessment report and see what it was.

Upon seeing Su Hongxing’s photograph, she collapsed weakly onto the sofa.

It was ridiculous that after so many years of marriage, she now found out that he had an illegitimate daughter and that Su Hongxing was this daughter.

No wonder Cao Zhen suddenly wanted to adopt Su Hongxing out of the blue. Was it because Su Hongxing’s mother was the person Cao Zhen had always been longing for?
