To My Dear Mr. Huo Chapter 272 - You Still Have Me, Silly

Chapter 272: You Still Have Me, Silly

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.
“But…if the DNA testing reveals her to be my biological mother…”
“That doesn’t matter either.” Huo Jinyao knew that Su Qingsang was a paper tiger and a very empathetic person despite her cold demeanor. “If she is really your biological mother, then we’ll allow her to stay here. It’s just one more mouth to feed and it is not a big deal. Over time, any plot she is hatching will come to light.”
Su Qingsang nodded. Logically speaking, he was right, but…”What if she really doesn’t have any favors to ask? What if she purely wants to acknowledge me?”
“Then it’s even simpler.” Huo Jinyao ruffled her hair. “Even though we can’t immediately treat her like your biological mother, we can still try to live harmoniously with her and see what happens.”
As for the future, that could be dealt with when it came.
Su Qingsang came to a clear conclusion and she stopped struggling with this issue. She had at least considered the worst case scenario.
Once her problem was solved, Huo Jinyao flipped himself and put his weight on her. Su Qingsang speedily rolled away to the side. “Stop fooling around. I have not even showered.”
“Shower after this.”
“No.” Su Qingsang sprang up while speaking and hurried off to the bathroom.
Huo Jinyao gave an inward sigh. My wife is perfect except for her inability to loosen up.
After Su Qingsang had gone into the bathroom, the smile from Huo Jinyao’s face dissipated. He retrieved his cell phone and dialed a number.
“Help me check on a woman named Xiang Caiping. She is from Lin City but moved to Rong City. Yes, I want to know everything about her. The sooner the better.”
After hanging up, a shadow crossed Huo Jinyao’s face and he looked solemn. Su Qingsang was tender-hearted, but he was not.
Even though he had countermeasures in place, he would not go easy on Xiang Caiping if she really had ulterior motives. There was a flash of ruthlessness in Huo Jinyao’s eyes.
