To My Dear Mr. Huo Chapter 271 - What is your motive?

Chapter 271: What is your motive?

Huo Jinyao was a.n.a.lyzing the situation much more than Su Qingsang had.

“I don’t care if you were a mistress and I don’t wish to know what exactly happened in the past. I just feel that, firstly, the rash way that you have intruded our lives is making things rather difficult for Qingsang. Secondly, all the things you have said are not backed up with credible evidence that you are really Qingsang’s mother. In fact, we have the right to refute your claims.”

“I am…I really am.” Xiang Caiping was more worked up now than before. She sprung up from her seat and looked straight at Su Qingsang, ignoring Huo Jinyao. “Qingsang, I really am your mother. Please believe me.”

“If that is the case, we should do a DNA test.”

Huo Jinyao looked at Xiang Caiping with continued indifference. His stare was sharper than ever. “We’ll believe in the result of the DNA test. It will never be wrong. Don’t you agree, Aunty?”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Xiang Caiping nodded profusely. “It will be good. A DNA test will be good. I know what that is. Qingsang, when do you think we should do that?”

Huo Jinyao did not expect her to respond this way. He could not help but glance at Su Qingsang.

Su Qingsang was astonished too. When her eyes met Huo Jinyao’s, she shook her head gently. She turned to face Xiang Caiping. “Aunty, please don’t panic. It’s late now; we can’t do the DNA test at this moment anyway. You should rest first and we can talk about things tomorrow. Is that alright?”

“Sure, alright.” Xiang Caiping still looked a little worked up. “Qingsang, I hope that you’ll believe me. I really am your mother. Whether you want to do a DNA test, take a blood test, or look for Su Chenghui for clarification, I am not afraid to do any of them. I really and purely just want to acknowledge you as my daughter.”

“What then, after acknowledging her?” Huo Jinyao’s words were still discourteous. “Do you hope that Qingsang will support you?”

“No, no, no.” Xiang Caiping kept waving her hands to dispel that accusation. “I don’t need her to support me, nor do I need both of you to support me. I have savings.”

All these years, she had lived frugally. With the exception of hiring a domestic helper, she did not have any major expenditure. “I have savings. Don’t you worry, I will not have you support me. Perhaps you do not fancy my a.s.sets, but they will all be yours in the future.”

When Xiang Caiping finished speaking, she wanted to go to her room to retrieve her bank book and doc.u.ments which contained a list of her a.s.sets to prove herself. “I really do have money. I can show it to you. I…”

“Aunty,” Su Qingsang stopped her from continuing what she intended to do. “Don’t be like this. I did not mean that.”

If Xiang Caiping were really her mother, her biological mother, she would definitely have to support her. She just…

Xiang Caiping stood there, seemingly at a loss about what to do. Su Qingsang could not bare that she felt as if she was bullying an elderly.

“Aunty, it’s late. Please rest now. We can talk about things tomorrow.”

Xiang Caiping’s lips moved and it was obvious that she still had something to say, but she could only despondently retreat back into her room.

The living room quieted down and Su Qingsang followed Huo Jinyao into their room.

The duo did not banter like they usually did. Su Qingsang sat on the bedside, thinking about the day’s events and chuckled.

“What’s the matter? Didn’t you say that you want to take a shower?” Huo Jinyao noticed Su Qingsang once he stepped out of the shower. He stepped forward and encircled her waist with his arms.

When he spoke, he kissed her on her lips. Su Qingsang moved a step backward and avoided his kiss with one hand on his chest.

“Huo Jinyao, what do you make of today’s events?”
