Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 925

Mrs. Chen added, “Chu Xiang is the one we brought home from the hospital. We always thought she was our biological child. Otherwise, if she hadn’t drained our family of everything, I would have sent her to an orphanage long ago.”

That statement was indeed true. They abused the child, vented their frustrations on her, and believed that she brought them misfortune. If the child was not biologically related to them, of course they wouldn’t have kept her. Even if they wanted someone to do the household chores, they should have found someone they found agreeable. Obviously, they didn’t like Chu Xiang.

Mr. Chu let go of him and walked irritably to the window, lighting a cigarette. The second paternity test was conducted at the best testing center in Beijing, and he actually believed it was not fake. The purpose of this third test was only for confirmation, to ensure that there was no mistake. But he already had the result in his heart.

When they approached the hospital, the hospital said only their two families had swapped babies. After all, the power outage lasted only a few minutes. How could they have swapped several babies? Although the Chen family had suspicions, they didn’t have any particularly strong evidence. He had no clues to find his biological daughter.

He looked out the window, his heart sinking continuously. It was very likely that he wouldn’t find his child. What about his lifelong efforts for the Chu family? The Chu family would have no heirs.

Mrs. Chu had a different perspective. She still remembered what Chu Xiang said in the study that day. Chu Xiang mentioned that the Chen family had a grudge against the Chu family, so they raised the Chen family’s daughter, and then sent Chu Xiang to harm them. Once they were infuriated, Chu Xuan could take over the Chu family and change her surname to Chen. The large family business they had built would have the surname Chen!

Initially, Mrs. Chu thought it was just something Chu Xiang said in passing. But today, when she learned that she was not her daughter, she immediately believed those words. Now, as she looked at the Chen couple, Chu Xiang, and even Chu Xuan, she stared at them with hostility, feeling that the four of them had conspired to harm the Chu family.

She got up and changed seats, distancing herself from them, her face cold as she questioned, “What grudge do you have against the Chu family? Chu Xuan! Have you known all along that they are your parents? If you tell me the truth today, considering the affection we have raised you with, I won’t hold you accountable for scheming against us and I’ll even give you a house.”

Chu Xuan became anxious and quickly stepped forward. “Mom, I didn’t scheme against you. I truly didn’t know. I’m still in disbelief myself. Chu Xiang said today that she’s not your biological daughter, and I can’t even believe it. The whole class witnessed it.”

“Stay away from me, don’t come closer.” Mrs. Chu frowned and waved her hand, then she asked Chu Xiang, “Tell me, what did you come to my house for? In just three months, you turned our house upside down. Why?”

Chu Xiang furrowed her brows and looked at Mr. Chu. “Mr. Chu, is she mentally unstable?”

The mention of “Mr. Chu” caught Mr. Chu off guard. He turned to look at her and noticed her distant expression, but the heavy sense of lifelessness from before was gone. He felt uneasy. They didn’t have a biological relationship, yet she seemed to feel better? Was that why she naturally called him “Mr. Chu,” which felt more natural to her than calling him “dad”?

Ignoring Mrs. Chu’s glare, Chu Xiang continued, “Mrs. Chu, do you have delusional disorder? I didn’t do anything at the Chu residence to cause chaos. It was Chu Xuan, not me, who turned your house upside down. The most precious thing in the Chu family is the company, and I don’t even know where it is. What could I do?”

Mr. Chu also found Mrs. Chu’s suspicion baseless. Even if they had mistakenly swapped the children, and there was a mistake in between, what else was there? He had some basis to suspect that the Chen family accidentally killed the child, but how did his wife come up with baseless conspiracy theories?

Mrs. Chu talked about what happened in the study, including what Chu Xiang said that day. But not only did Mr. Chu not believe it, even the Chen couple, who had raised Chu Xiang, didn’t believe it either. With the Chen couple not believing a word she said, it made her claims seem even more unfounded. It also made her appear mentally unstable, as her words were disjointed and many things seemed to be figments of her imagination.

Only Chu Xuan knew how truly malicious Chu Xiang was. Chu Xiang had deceived everyone. However, she didn’t have any evidence to expose her. What was more, she discovered that Mrs. Chu was actually wary of her because of Chu Xiang’s words. She suspected that she wanted to benefit the Chen family at the expense of the Chu family. This was the most serious thing for her. If even Mrs. Chu rejected her, forget about inheriting half of the Chu Corporation, she wouldn’t even have a place in the Chu family.

So Chu Xuan focused on comforting and caring for her, all the while the Chen couple on the opposite side scolded her for being unfilial, making the atmosphere in the lounge increasingly tense.

Fortunately, the paternity test this time was fast, and the report was quickly delivered. Otherwise, they might have ended up fighting in the lounge.

Mr. Chu took a deep breath and opened the paternity test report. It was without a doubt that Chu Xuan was the daughter of the Chen family, while Chu Xiang had no biological relationship with both the Chu family and the Chen family.

Mr. Chu looked up and happened to see Chu Xiang exhale in relief, as if the whole world had been illuminated by this result.

Suddenly, his heart tightened, feeling as if a large stone had been pressed against his chest. The affection he had shown to Chu Xiang over the past few days was not fake. He had been in contact with her every day and had discovered that she was a genius. He had planned to bring her to the company during the vacation to teach and guide her. He even had hopes that her success would elevate the Chu Corporation to a higher level.

He felt excited and proud to have a genius daughter and had boundless expectations for the future.

But now he suddenly realized that Chu Xiang was not his daughter.

How could such a wonderful girl not be his daughter?

Would his biological daughter be as outstanding as Chu Xiang?

Most importantly, Chu Xiang’s relieved expression clearly showed that she didn’t want to be his daughter.

Seeing two paternity test reports in a day, he had lost his daughter. This felt like he had also lost his most treasured jewel.
