Chapter 422 - Paternity Test (1/2)

When the car was getting close to Su Family’s villa, Su Qingsang suddenly stepped on the brakes.

“So what if I see the results? So what if things have been proven? Things have undoubtedly been proven, so looking at the results again would only increase my level of sadness,” she thought.

“Moreover, what if the results are not what I had expected? What if all of Huo Jinyao’s theories were wrong?” she thought.

Once Su Qingsang thought of things in this manner, she instantly felt like turning around and leaving speedily.

“Sis?” Su Yuxin suddenly appeared in front of her. He stood beside the car and gave a knock on the car window facing Su Qingsang. “Why are you here?”

“I…” Su Qingsang bit down on her lip, and, for a long time, could not find the words to respond.

“Do you have something to attend to? Are you going back home?” The ‘home’ that Su Yuxin was referring to naturally meant the Su Family home.

Su Qingsang instinctively shook her head. When she caught the flabbergasted look in Su Yuxin’s eyes, she nodded. “Yes, I am here to look for you.”

“You’re here to look for me?” Su Yuxin raised an eyebrow. There was a distinct look of doubt in his eyes. “Why is it that you are looking for me?”

“It’s nothing much.” Su Qingsang smiled, but it was a slightly awkward smile. From the corner of her eye, she espied the bag that she had placed on the passenger seat next to her, and her eyes lit up.

“It’s just that I had bought you a gift when I went on a trip to Japan previously. All this while, I could not find an opportunity to give it to you. Moreover, I had forgotten about it when I came by yesterday, hence…”

As she spoke, she retrieved the gift from the bag. When she got out of the car, she put the gift in Su Yuxin’s hands.

“You came here just to give this present to me?”

Su Yuxin stared at the box in his hands and was visibly surprised.

“Yes, that’s right,” Su Qingsang nodded. She rarely lied, but this time, she had no choice but to do it. For a moment, she exhibited a nervous disposition.

Su Yuxin did not brood over Su Qingsang’s explanation but did not go on to open the gift either. He continued looking at the box, seeming very touched.

“Thank you, Sister.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Su Qingsang took a quick look at him and said in a would-be casual way, “Why are you alone? Where is Father?”

“He is out for the new year visitations.”

“Then what about Auntie?” Su Qingsang’s tone was even more casual when she asked this question. It sounded as if she was making idle conversation.

“She went to America.”

“Huh? She went to America?” Su Qingsang was stunned. She was astonished by this piece of information.

“That’s right,” Su Yuxin pointed at the car, a short distance behind him, which he had just parked at the Su Family mansion’s driveway.

“I just drove my mother to the airport. She went to America to visit my sister.”

The sister he had mentioned was naturally Su Peizhen. Su Qingsang gave the nod. She could not figure out how she was feeling.

“Su Peizhen… how is she doing?”

“I think she is fine.” She was not fine at all. She was all alone abroad and could not even spend the New Year back home. How good could she be doing?

Su Qingsang did not know how to respond to that. Whether Su Peizhen was well or not, would it not be right to say that Su Chenghui was the person most to blame for her situation? So she thought.

She did not have the means to verbalize that thought, however. “Didn’t Auntie already travel to the States before the new year?”

Su Yuxin was a little surprised that Su Qingsang had asked about Li Qianxue for the second time that day. However, he did not give much thought to that. “I don’t know. When you guys left yesterday, my mother started to pack her luggage. Then she said that she wanted to go to America to visit my sister.”

The truth was, Su Yuxin was not aware of what had happened. However, he was able to guess that it concerned Su Chenghui.

However, regarding this issue, it was not his place to question his father. Su Chenghui had gone out to visit other families early in the morning today.

He also thought about going with Li Qianxue to America to visit Su Peizhen, as there was still some time left until the end of his school holidays.

He did not think that Li Qianxue would have no intention to take him along with her. Instead, she had asked him to stay at home to keep Old Master Li company.

“Oh, I see.”

Su Qingsang fell silent. She could more or less grasp the reason behind Li Qianxue’s foul mood the previous day.

“She had always thought that Su Chenghui did not love her, but she did not expect that he had another woman in his life besides her. It would be a greater blow to Li Qianxue, wouldn’t it?” she thought.

“Sister?”

Realizing that Su Qingsang was once again letting her mind wander, Su Yuxin could not help but call out to her again.

Su Qingsang gave a smile. “It’s nothing, I am just making casual conversation. Since Father and Auntie are not at home, I had better get going.”

“Aren’t you going to stay for dinner?”

“There is no need for that.” Su Qingsang turned to leave. Before leaving, she looked at Su Yuxin and suddenly halted her footsteps.

“Yuxin, you are going to take your college entrance examinations this year, right?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Work hard for it.”

“Don’t worry about it. I will.” His results had always been excellent, and he had never caused anyone to worry about his studies.

“That’s good to hear.” Su Qingsang gazed at Su Yuxin. When her eyes met the slightly puzzled look on his face, she took a few steps back awkwardly. “I’ll get going.”

When she said this, her line of sight suddenly landed on the top of Su Yuxin’s head.

“Hmm? What is that?”

“What?”

“Bend a little, will you? There seems to be something dirty on the top of your head.”

Su Qingsang motioned for Su Yuxin to lower his head as she spoke.

Su Yuxin did not give much thought to that. Some children were playing with firecrackers just now, and he could have gotten some of the by-products on him.
