Chapter 1192: DNA Test (10)
“No, there’s no trouble.” Lina did not want Ling Tianya to feel guilty, so she explained to Ling Tianya immediately, “I was going to tell him once the results of the paternity test came out. If she is our real daughter, naturally, she needs to meet with her birth father. If she isn’t, there’s no need for them to meet then. But, it doesn’t matter that he knows about this now.”
Hearing Lina’s explanation, Ling Tianya was relieved. “As long as I did not cause any trouble for you.”
Lina smiled and said, “Are you free this afternoon? If you are free, let’s go shopping together.”
“Of course,” Ling Tianya answered delightfully on the other end of the call.
Hearing that Lina was going shopping with Ling Tianya again, Eric and Xu Cheng both got uptight and nervous.
Xu Cheng could not think of any other way out. She walked to Lina and took her arm. “How about we go shopping together?”
Xu Cheng could not find an appropriate way to address Lina till now. For Xu Cheng, she was comfortable with calling Lina “mom.” However, Lina was rather serious and distant. It was obvious that she would like to wait for the test results to come out first. If Xu Cheng called her “mom” right now, she would definitely be put off.
Therefore, whenever Xu Cheng needed to talk to Lina now, she tried to avoid addressing her.
“Didn’t you hear that I have asked someone else to go?” Lina said.
“But,” Xu Cheng acted if she was wronged, “I just want to go shopping with you. Is that alright? I…”
Looking at Xu Cheng with the thought that Xu Cheng might be her own daughter in her head, Lina hesitated. However, she rejected Xu Cheng anyway. Though she felt sorry about Xu Cheng, somehow, she would love to meet with Ling Tianya much more. Even Lina herself found that thought unreasonable.
“I am sorry, but head home first. I asked the wife of a crucial partner out. You know who she is. Ling Tianya is not just Ruan Zeyan’s wife. Isn’t she your boss as well? I take my word very seriously. I have made a promise, and I cannot break it. I’ll go shopping with you next time.”
Lina’s words made Xu Cheng speechless. However, she was not satisfied inside. She let go of Lina’s arm angrily.
Noticing Xu Cheng’s temper, Lina said to Xu Cheng without a second’s hesitation or mercy, “If the results of the paternity test come out and you are my real daughter, I need to have a good look at your foster mother to see what kind of person she is. How could she raise my daughter up to have such personality?”
“What about me?” Xu Cheng asked, unwilling to yield to Lina’s words.
“What?” Lina raised her eyes. “The daughter of Lina can be a princess or a child, but not petulant. Looking at you now, I cannot see you taking such a huge responsibility on your shoulder in the future. Actually, you could learn a lesson or two from Ling Tianya during this time. You need to observe the strengths and virtues of Ling Tianya, as that’s how a leader who carries responsibilities would behave.”
It was just such a pity that such a great girl, why couldn’t she be her daughter?
With that said, Lina fastened her steps and left the test center.
Xu Cheng stood there, stunned. What was Lina implying just now? Was Lina saying that she was not as good as Ling Tianya?
She was Xu Cheng. Why did she need to learn from Ling Tianya? For what reason did she need to take a lesson from Ling Tianya?
“You moron! Behave yourself before the results of the test come out. If anything goes wrong, don’t say I did not tell you so. You and your mother, Huang Ying, will pay for it if anything goes wrong!” Eric had lost his patience with Xu Cheng as she was such a simpleton. Thank G.o.d that he paid for the express service for the paternity test. The results should be released in a day or two.
