Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 920

Mrs. Chu is not usually an irritable person, but now she was wrongly accused. She had seen with her own eyes how bad Chu Xiang was, but Mr. Chu didn’t believe her and thought she was being unreasonable, so how could she stand this?

She didn’t argue loudly, but she kept talking angrily. She started from when Chu Xiang had just come back and became a thief, then about Chu Xiang drawing toads on Chu Xuan and smearing things on her face to accuse herself of hitting people.

Mr. Chu is getting impatient with her, “I went to see the school’s surveillance footage today. When Chu Xuan was inside, Xiang Xiang was not there at all, and the surveillance was not broken. You’re going too far in accusing Xiang Xiang of this. Also, what reason does Xiang Xiang have to accuse you of beating her? What benefit can she get by accusing you?”

How can anyone do something that is detrimental to oneself without gain? At least Mr. Chu did not think Chu Xiang would do such a thing.

Mrs. Chu blurted out, “She just wants me to experience how it feels to be unable to defend myself, to have no one believe me, and now she has succeeded. You don’t believe anything I say.”

Mr. Chu said: “You even blamed her for something that was proven untrue by the surveillance footage. How can I believe you? Well, even if she really wants you to experience the feeling, then why does she want you to experience this? Is it because she was unable to defend herself and no one believed anything she says? Does that mean she was wrongly accused before?”

Mrs. Chu was stunned, and before she could say anything else, they arrived at the DNA test center. She had been married to Mr. Chu for 20 years and could already see that Mr. Chu not only did not believe her but was impatient with her. She suddenly remembered the speculation she had just read in the post that Mr. Chu had an illegitimate child.

She has been at home for several years due to poor health because of overexhaustion in her younger days. Even if she takes care of herself, she still looked a bit older. Mr. Chu left the house early and comes home late every day and also travels a lot. There were many young and vibrant girls out there, so could he have an affair?

Mrs. Chu would usually think about this, but she trusted Mr. Chu, so she did not think deeply. But now she was wronged by Chu Xiang, and Mr. Chu is also so impatient with her. While she was emotionally sensitive, she saw the post’s speculation. She could not brush off her suspicion.

Although Mrs. Chu stopped talking, the look in her eyes was unusual, and it annoyed Mr. Chu further. He just wanted to quickly finish the paternity test and go back to the office. He was so annoyed now that he was not even in the mood to compensate his daughter.

When preparing for the DNA test, the doctor proposed doing a blood test since they were all there. However, Chu Xiang subconsciously retreated half a step. When they looked at her, she lowered her head and whispered, “Is there another way? I …… am afraid.”

Mr. Chu froze, “You are afraid? Blood collection is not painful.”

Chu Xiang shook her head repeatedly and waited for Mrs. Chu to show an impatient look before saying, “When I was in the Chen family, Chu Xuan’s mother pricked me with a needle.” Her voice had a little tremor as she continued, “It hurts… It really hurts.”

Chu Xuan’s heart shook, and she immediately looked at Mr. Chu only to see Mr. Chu’s expression full of heartache. He stepped forward to hug Chu Xiang and softly comforted, “Xiang Xiang, do not be afraid. It’s okay now. We don’t have to draw blood. No one will hurt you again. It’s all in the past, don’t be afraid.”

Originally Mrs. Chu’s heart also ached because the Chen family actually stabbed her daughter. But when she saw Mr. Chu comforting Chu Xiang, and Chu Xiang seemed very weak, Mrs. Chu was angry again. The anger was not toward Mr. Chu for being nice to Chu Xiang but at Chu Xiang for pretending again.

How did Chu Xiang treat her in the study that day? Silver-tongued and malicious. How could that Chu Xiang be soft and needed comfort? She was just pretending.

The doctor was watching, so Mrs. Chu could not say anything, but she was more disgusted with Chu Xiang, and the look on her face naturally displayed some of her disdain.

Mr. Chu turned his head and accidentally saw the look on Mrs. Chu’s face. He was very surprised and unable to comprehend. Chu Xiang was their only daughter, but Mrs. Chu not only did not feel bad after hearing such a thing but also seemed to be irritated by Chu Xiang. He wondered if Mrs. Chu has gone crazy and loved Chu Xuan too much to want to abandon her biological daughter.

Even if Mr. Chu loved Chu Xuan, he had always wanted to pass the family business to his own daughter. Otherwise, the Chu Group would be taken over by an outsider. Therefore, he had always wanted to confine Chu Xiang at home and get a home tutor for her whenever she was disobedient. He wanted to mold her behavior through more teachers and lessons.

But now he suddenly found that his wife and his ideas are different. His wife did not seem to want Chu Xiang. Then, all those things must have been done by his wife to help Chu Xuan, otherwise, how could a child like Chu Xuan know so much?

Mr. Chu has been in charge of the company for so many years, so his wariness was the worst, and his suspicion of Chu Xuan and Mrs. Chu was soaring. He couldn’t stop it. Mr. Chu even wanted to pry open Mrs. Chu’s skull to see what she was thinking. Wasn’t it utterly ridiculous of her to help her adopted daughter slander her own daughter?

But they were outside, so they could not voice their thoughts loudly. They could only show grim expressions, and the atmosphere was also very tense.

There weren’t a lot of people coming and going out of the paternity test center, but those who saw their expressions wondered which one of the spouses had an affair and suspected their children’s identity, or if they were bringing their lover’s child to do the test.
