Chapter 431: You Should Ask What My Father Did

Su Yuxin looked at Li Qianxue expressionlessly. Only he knew how fast his heart was beating. It was pounding violently against his ribcage.

In his eyes, there was a faint expectation and desperate madness.

Before he had gone to the United States, he thought that maybe Huo Jinyao spoke nonsense. Maybe the two children did not get mixed up at all. Maybe it was all a lie.

He tried to look for the DNA test that Huo Jinyao talked about, but he didn’t find it. Did it actually exist?

He had doubts, disbelief, and misgivings.

In fact, he knew better than anyone that exposing Su Qingsang’s origin would hurt Li Qianxue more than anyone else. She would suffer more than anybody else would.

When he did a DNA test for Li Qianxue and Su Peizhen, he was still thinking, could he be wrong? Could Huo Jinyao be wrong? Could Su Qingsang be wrong?

Now, he knew that only one person was guilty. Su Chenghui. All the mistakes started with him. It was all because of an unspeakable act he had committed all those years ago.

As Su Chenghui’s son, he was now going to atone for this mistake. He wanted to get everything back on track.

“DNA test? Whose is it?”

Li Qianxue had a bad feeling. She didn’t want to know more.

“Yours and my sister’s,” Su Yuxin’s voice was very soft. “When I was in the United States, I took some hair from you and my sister for a DNA test.”

Li Qianxue’s face suddenly changed. “Su Yuxin, what are you saying?”

Su Peizhen was her daughter. Why would Su Yuxin order a DNA test for her and Su Peizhen? Was he crazy?

“Mom... Take your time. Take a look at it first, and I’ll tell you what I meant after you’ve done that.”

“I don’t want to look.” Li Qianxue instinctively felt that this was not a good thing, and refused to look at the test results.

“Mom... Are you sure? You really don’t want to take a look?”

Su Yuxin pushed the test report forward a little bit. His expression was firm and he stared at Li Qianxue’s face unflinchingly.

Li Qianxue thought that Su Yuxin would let Su Peizhen leave as soon as he returned to Lin City, and also thought that he went to the United States deliberately, and those words that she heard, they were....

She stared at him, slowly picking up the test results. Instead of looking at the page, she stared at her son.

“Su Yuxin, what did you learn? Tell me. I want to know the truth.”

“Mom, take a look at this first, then listen to me.”

Su Yuxin tried his best to control his emotions, but his voice was still trembling. Who would have thought it?

Who would have thought that Su Chenghui would do such a thing? What human being would be capable of it?

Li Qianxue pulled out the test report and kept looking at Su Yuxin, staring closely at his face.

When the paper was pulled out, she lowered her head and set her eyes on the test report.

The test report was done in the United States and was all in English. However, it was not a problem for Li Qianxue.

She stared intently at the English words, almost as if they were incomprehensible. They danced before her eyes, not making any sense.

Whatever way she twisted the words, the contents wouldn’t change.

Li Qianxue and Su Peizhen were not in line with heredity (100% excluded as mother-daughter relationship).

She squeezed the paper tightly and looked up at Su Yuxin. “What have you done?”

Su Yuxin felt a heavy weight upon his heart. He reached out and clenched Li Qianxue’s hand tightly.

“Mom, you shouldn’t ask me what I did. You should rather ask what Dad had done.”

Li Qianxue squeezed Su Yuxin’s hand hard enough to press her nails into his flesh.

“What do you mean? What did your dad do? Where is my daughter? Peizhen is not my daughter. Then where is my daughter? Where is she?”

What happened to the daughter she had given birth to? If she was not Su Peizhen, where was she now?

Her eyes were red, and Su Yuxin couldn’t bear to look at her. He turned his face away. “Mom, you’ve known her your whole life.”

“Explain yourself, Su Yuxin.” Li Qianxue’s grip became harder. It hurt, but Su Yuxin did not remove her hand.

He closed his eyes and suppressed the urge to cry. He turned around and looked at Li Qianxue, uttering his words clearly.

“Mom, haven’t you understood yet? You’ve known your daughter all this time. She has always lived with us. She...”

Li Qianxue’s hand became slack. All of Su Yuxin’s words pointed to a horrifying fact.

He had tried to tell her when he came to see her in the United States. She heard the words but didn’t grasp the meaning.

Now Su Yuxin had alluded to this once again. She thought she understood his meaning.

However, she refused to make any speculations. She had to ask clearly, and she had to make sure of the final answer.

She bit her lip almost to the point of bleeding. Here well-groomed face no longer assumed a cool, collected expression. There were only shock, disbelief, and rejection.

“Su Yuxin, speak clearly. What do you want to say? What do you mean? Tell me.”

“Mom...” Su Yuxin smiled in helplessness, bitterness, pity, and sympathy. “Why do you deceive yourself? You’re so smart. You have already guessed, haven’t you?”

“No way.” Li Qianxue closed her eyes, pushing the terrifying possibility away.

She didn’t believe it, how could she believe it?

Su Yuxin did not give her a chance to escape. He held her by the shoulders and stared at her face, full of sympathy.

“Mom, twenty-five years ago, Father swapped the baby you gave birth to for that woman’s child. He took your child and claimed she was the illegitimate offspring of his mistress.”

“That child did not grow up as the Li Family’s granddaughter or the precious daughter of the Su family.”

“That child became the illegitimate daughter of the Su family. It is Su Qingsang.”

Li Qianxue’s face was bloodless and she remained stiff, lifeless and unable to move.

Su Yuxin could not bear it but had to go on.

“Mom... Su Qingsang is your daughter and my full-blood sister.”

“It is true, Mom. Huo Jinyao found out sister’s origin and came to confront Father. I happened to overhear it.”

“Mom... Did you hear me? Su Qingsang is your daughter. Su Peizhen, she, she is...”

Su Yuxin couldn’t bear to say more. It was too ugly.

He knew the result but found it hard to utter the words.

Li Qianxue had been listening intently. Su Yuxin was afraid she would not believe it and repeated what Huo Jinyao had told Su Chenghui at that time.

“Mom... The facts are clear. I know you may find it difficult to accept. But in reality, it is...”

“Stop the car. Stop the car.” Li Qianxue suddenly moved. She even forgot that the car was still in motion and reached out to pull the door.

Su Yuxin quickly stopped her. “Mom, what are you doing?”

“I’m going to find Su Chenghui.”

“Mom...”

“Stop the car. I’m going to find him. I’m going to ask him.” Li Qianxue’s eyes were blank and a little empty. Her voice was flat.

She didn’t believe it, not a word of it.

“Mom, it’s no use to talk to him. He won’t admit it.”

Huo Jinyao already put the evidence in front of Su Chenghui, and he did not confess.

Absolutely not. He would never admit it. Because this was his revenge. How could he admit what he did wrong?

Li Qianxue stopped and leaned weakly on the back of the chair. There was a sharp pain in her chest as if someone stabbed her in the heart with a knife and twisted it.

She couldn’t bear the pain anymore. She shivered and could hardly sit still.

It hurt. It really hurt.

“I don’t buy it. I don’t believe it, I don’t believe a word of it.”

Her voice was soft and trembling.

“Mom, believe it or not, this is the truth. Su Qingsang is indeed your daughter. She is my sister.”

Su Yuxin held her hand and looked at her firmly. “Mom, I have asked the driver to go to my sister’s house. We are going to take her home.”

Li Qianxue bent her head again, and Su Yuxin felt hot tears falling on the back of his hand. Their heat almost burned him.

He could still feel that Li Qianxue was shaking. She was shocked, he knew.

However, he had no choice. If he had never heard Su Chenghui’s conversation with Huo Jinyao, he would go on as if nothing has happened.

If he had not done a DNA test for Su Peizhen and Li Qianxue, he could have tried to forget about that whole story.

However, he couldn’t. He couldn’t just turn a blind eye to it. It was impossible to let Su Chenghui keep lying and deceiving them.

More importantly, he could not keep treating Su Qingsang as an illegitimate daughter while knowing that she was his own full-blood sister.

Countless pictures and dialogues flashed before Li Qianxue’s eyes.

She argued with Su Chenghui that day. Su Chenghui always said that he had no other women but Xiang Caiping.

He was a proud man. She knew that. So while he said he had no other women, she didn’t believe it at the time, thinking that he was only making excuses for himself.

Now, after listening to Su Yuxin’s words, she understood everything.

Su Chenghui had no other women, and he has not cheated on her again. He didn’t have a third woman.

However, what he did to her was a lot more horrible than having an affair.

Her heart started to hurt again. Li Qianxue was trembling with pain and leaned weakly on Su Yuxin’s shoulder.

“Mom, calm down.” Su Yuxin held her to prevent her from breaking down like this. “Calm down, we have to go pick up my sister.”

Li Qianxue shook her head gently. Her eyes were blurred by tears and she couldn’t see clearly anymore.

She could not control her body’s reaction or the ache in her heart.

She clasped Su Yuxin’s hand, and her knuckles became white. She looked up at him, and through her tears, saw that Su Yuxin seemed so much like his father.
