Chapter 272 - You Still Have Me, Silly (1/2)
She was referring to what had happened since Xiang Caiping’s first appearance in their life. Huo Jinyao became serious; he did not continue kissing her and just held her hand in his.
“I can’t judge the situation right now.” A DNA test would produce definite results. If Xiang Caiping was not afraid of going through with it, then it could only mean two things.
She could really be Su Qingsang’s biological mother; however, she could also be powerful enough to manipulate the DNA testing organization. It was likely that the former was the truth given the situation.
“This means she really is my mother?” Because she wasn’t afraid of the DNA testing, Xiang Caiping naturally could not be lying.
Huo Jinyao turned his head to look at her disposition and realized that she neither looked upset nor joyful. Understanding her worries, he gently lifted her and held her against his chest.
“So what if she is? You should do what makes you happy. Acknowledge her if you want to and don’t do it if you don’t wish to.”
Can I do that? Su Qingsang was in a bit of a fix.
“You have the right to.” Huo Jinyao phrased his sentences simply. “All these years, she hasn’t had your interests at heart nor has she put in any effort for your well-being. Now, she’s intruded your life unannounced in a bid to acknowledge you as her daughter. It would only be only logical if you do not want to acknowledge her.
“Looking at the big picture, even though she is your biological mother, she could still be harboring a secret motive. This world has no lack of children who want to take advantage of their parents’ wealth and also no lack of parents who want to take advantage of their children’s wealth, right?”
“What motive could she possibly have?” Su Qingsang stared at him. She had considered the same thing. She, however, was not willing to think so badly of a person’s character. “It seems that I don’t have anything for her to plot to make her own.”
“You silly girl.” Huo Jinyao gave her a slight knock on her head. “You have me.”
Even though there seemed to be no loopholes in Xiang Caiping’s claims, her appearance in their lives was the loophole.
She happened to want to acknowledge Su Qingsang as her daughter once Huo Jinyao announced Su Qingsang’s status. Though Huo Jinyao did not want to engage in conspiracy theories, he had seen a considerable number of devious plots over the years.
Su Qingsang stopped speaking. Someone as intelligent as she was could naturally make up her own mind on the issue.
