Chapter 278 - Layers Of Truth
Min Guili was furious because of Meng An"s words.
Meng An had actually played tricks under his nose and even hid it from him for so many years! Upon hearing Qin Bailu"s words that Min Sisi was not his daughter, Min Guili"s anger rose to an extreme.
However, Meng An reacted the worst.
"That"s impossible!" Meng An roared angrily.
"Sisi is my daughter! Stop talking nonsense here! Hmph! Bai Shuangshuang, that vixen, is stupid. She thinks that my daughter is her daughter and hence schemed against you. If you"re unhappy, just settle the score with her. What does it have to do with us? Don"t even think of pulling us down with you!"
"And what you said just now was also ridiculous. What do you mean by I didn"t tell you since I knew the truth earlier? What obligation do I have to tell you? It"s your vixen mother who wants to scheme against me. She wanted to swap my daughter over and let her do whatever she wants. She wanted her daughter to grow up as the Min Family"s darling. I can"t wait for her to abuse her own daughter and regret it for the rest of her life. Why would I poke my nose into other people"s business and tell you the truth?"
Seeing Bai Shuangshuang"s dejected look, Meng An felt extremely happy, "After so many years, this day has finally come! Bai Shuangshuang, now that you realized that the person you"ve been scheming against is your biological daughter, and the person you"re protecting is my daughter, how does that feel?"
Bai Shuangshuang looked like she had lost her soul. She kept mumbling things like "No", "No", "It"s not like that", and when she heard Meng An"s words, it stimulated her even more.
"Nonsense! It"s not like that! No!"
She, who had fallen to the ground, grabbed the paternity test Qin Bailu threw in front of her like a lunatic and tore it up. She pointed at Qin Bailu. "You"re not my daughter! You"re not!"
Seeing this scene, Qin Bailu smiled even more frighteningly.
"Mom, do you think you can deny this fact just because you tore the paternity test report? Not to mention that I"ve made a few copies of the report, even if there isn"t any, she"s right here. We"ll get the results after another test at the hospital. Why are you lying to yourself?"
"But you"re really making me sad like this…"
"Do you really not want me to be your daughter?"
Bai Shuangshuang was so scared by her frightening smile that she kept retreating, "No, no… You"re not…"
Qin Bailu stared at her again and sneered. She ignored her and turned to Meng An. "Auntie Min, don"t be anxious. Didn"t I say that I still have two paternity test reports in my hands?"
As she spoke, she took out the reports and handed them over.
Meng An retreated in fear. She didn"t dare to take it.
Although Meng An looked imposing, she was actually very uncertain.
She had already panicked when Qin Bailu said that she still had two paternity test reports in her hands and the reports showed that Min Sisi was not related to her and Min Guili.
Her anger was more like a bluff.
If she was already so fl.u.s.tered, Sisi would probably be even more…
With this in mind, Meng An hurriedly looked at Min Sisi. "Sisi, don"t listen to her nonsense. These are all fake…"
Her voice suddenly halted because Meng An saw Min Sisi standing there calmly even under such circ.u.mstances.
Her expression did not change at all.
She was like a spectator watching a show.
Seeing that she was looking over, she looked up at her and said calmly, "We"ll know if it"s true after we see the paternity test report."
However, Min Nan thought that Min Sisi had suffered a huge blow and was so calm because she was disheartened. "Sisi, don"t worry. You"re my sister…"
Min Sisi glanced at him. "Look at the report."
Her att.i.tude stunned Min Nan and many people present.
She did not seem to be calm because she was disheartened. Perhaps she was really calm?
Qin Bailu"s gaze landed on Min Sisi, but she actually saw mockery in Min Sisi"s eyes when she met them!
There was no panic or fear. There was only a faint sneer!
It was as if she was watching a joke!
Why!
Why was Min Sisi still so calm?!
Why was this person who had s.n.a.t.c.hed her mother"s love and made her biological mother scheme against her since she was young not fl.u.s.tered at all?!
Among these people, she hated her biological mother who plotted against her the most, followed by Min Sisi!
She wanted to make everyone suffer!
Min Sisi should be crying in panic now. Why was this happening?
Min Guili looked at Min Sisi and frowned slightly.
Obviously, he was very puzzled by her calm att.i.tude.
It wasn"t that he couldn"t accept being tricked by Meng An. What he couldn"t accept the most was that Sisi wasn"t his daughter!
Regardless of whether Sisi was born by Bai Shuangshuang or Meng An, she was at least still his daughter, and his plans all these years were not wasted. If she wasn"t his daughter…
"Give them to me." He took the paternity test reports from Qin Bailu.
"Daddy has to take a good look. Min Sisi isn"t your daughter. Your only daughter is me."
Min Guili glanced at her unhappily.
He held the report in his hand.
Min Guili first saw Meng An and Min Sisi"s report. It was more than 30% similar, so they were considered unrelated.
Looking at the second report, there was a DNA similarity of more than 70%, but the result was that they were not related.
Its similarity was higher than that of Meng An"s. There were two explanations for such a situation.
The first was that Min Sisi"s father or mother was related to Min Guili by blood.
The second possibility was that Min Sisi had nothing to do with the Min Family. After all, even people who were not related by blood would have very similar DNA.
However, Min Guili didn"t care about that now. He stared at the report.
They were actually not directly related!
Seeing Min Guili"s expression that looked like he wanted to tear up the report, Min Nan was shocked. He was about to s.n.a.t.c.h it over to take a look when Meng An beat him to it.
Her hands trembled. "No, no, this isn"t true…"
She grabbed Min Guili"s arm. "Hubby, tell me. This isn"t true! This isn"t true!"
Min Guili was in a bad mood and Meng An was really pulling him, so he threw her hand away impatiently. If Min Nan hadn"t held Meng An in time, Meng An would have fallen to the ground.
Min Nan did not have the mood to blame Min Guili.
He also saw the content of the report.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Min Guili ignored them and looked at Min Sisi, "You"re not my daughter?"
It was strange to ask Min Sisi at such a time.
Anyway, many guests present felt that it was very strange.
However, Min Sisi even answered seriously. She said, "Since the paternity test results are like this, then it seems to be the truth."
"Although you"ve raised me and I"ve lived in the Min Family since I was young, I"m clearly not your daughter," Min Sisi said calmly.
At this moment, anyone could tell that she was really calm and not disheartened by the blow.
"You knew that long ago?" Min Guili looked at her and asked.
His gaze was a little scary.
It was obvious that he was extremely angry and was only trying his best to suppress his anger.
Before Min Sisi could answer, Meng An and Min Nan said at the same time, "What do you mean by you knew that long ago?!"
Turning to Min Sisi, Meng An asked, "Sisi, what does your father mean? Y-you knew long ago?"
Min Sisi looked at her. Her calm expression suddenly disappeared. She pursed her lips and took two steps back, looking like she was frightened by Meng An.
She was dressed demurely and her hair was combed simply. She even had a pair of gla.s.ses on.
She looked obedient and weak.
"Yes, I-I did know."
Meng An"s eyes darkened and she almost fainted. "So, is this true?! Are you really not my daughter?"
Min Sisi nodded timidly, as if she wanted to cry but was trying her best to hold it in because of some concerns.
"W-When did you find out?"
"Ever since I can remember."
The surrounding guests were shocked.
Ever since she could remember?
Then, how did she know? How did she appear in the Min Family and be raised as the biological daughter of the head of the Min Family and the wife of the head of the family for so many years without people discovering anything?
Why did it feel like a huge conspiracy?
Some of the timid guests retreated without a trace.
It was better not to get involved in such matters. Even if they were watching a show, they should stay back to avoid being implicated.
Other than Min Rufeng, Min Ting, and the others who knew, everyone looked at Min Sisi with curiosity.
They waited for her to continue.
"Your daughter died not long after she was born. It was Grandfather who brought me back."
Everyone held their breath and listened carefully.
"My father was my grandfather"s illegitimate son. Because my parents pa.s.sed away in an accident, Grandfather brought me back to the Min Family and lived in the Min Family as your daughter."
"How dare you—"
Min Sisi interrupted Min Guili, "Don"t be anxious. Wait for me to finish speaking first."
As if she had recalled something, she suddenly mustered up her courage. She looked a little braver than before. She dared to meet Min Guili and Meng An"s gazes directly. "Since I was brought back by Grandfather, I naturally side with Grandfather. Guess, how much do I know about the truth behind Grandfather"s death back then? I was at home the day Grandfather pa.s.sed away."
Min Guili, Meng An, and Min Nan"s expressions changed drastically!
"W-What truth? Your grandfather died of an illness!" Min Guili quickly denied.
He was shocked.
Min Sisi adjusted her gla.s.ses. "Whether he died of an illness couldn"t be proved with your words. I believe everyone present has more or less heard the recent rumors about Grandfather"s death, right?"
Everyone thought to themselves Of course. Most of them came to the Min Family"s banquet today to watch this show.
"As the saying goes, there"s no smoke without fire. How could such a rumor spread without a reason?"
"Grandfather didn"t die of an illness at all. Instead, he was killed by you!" Min Sisi"s gaze was timely and cold. It was as if she had suppressed her hatred for many years and finally could vent it all in one day.
"Sisi, what nonsense are you talking about! I don"t care if you"re my sister first. The person you"re calling Grandfather is also my grandfather and Dad"s biological father! We only have respect for Grandfather, so how could we… How could we… Don"t believe the rumors outside!" Min Nan said excitedly.
Min Sisi looked at him. "Since I dare to say this, does Brother think that I don"t have any evidence?"
The three of them felt their hearts turn cold.
"Of course, I have evidence. It"s just that I"ve been weak all these years, so I"ve never dared to take out the evidence. I"m afraid that I can"t win against you guys and instead let you get the evidence and the truth of Grandfather"s sudden death will remain unknown forever!"
"Fortunately, the heavens have eyes. Second Brother is back."
"I"ve handed all the evidence to Second Brother."
She looked at Min Rufeng.. "Second Brother, show the evidence to everyone. Grandfather probably won"t be able to rest in peace until the truth is exposed!"
