Chapter 154: The Illegitimate Daughter (1)_1
Upon hearing Liang Yumei mention "that matter that night," Liu Qian’s eyes opened wide. She stared unblinkingly at Situ Haoran, waiting for him to explain. Even Situ Che, who had been silent until now, turned his gaze towards Situ Haoran.
"Comrade Liang Yumei, I’m not close to you, so please address me by my full name. Also, I truly do not understand what you mean by ’that matter that night.’" Situ Haoran said, furrowing his brows before turning to his wife, Liu Qian, "Xiao Qian, I swear to you that I have never done anything to betray you or our daughter."
Liu Qian, looking at her husband who didn’t swear easily, swore to her with such conviction, and her heart settled in that instant. Her eyes shimmered with tears, yet her face bore a smile as she said, "Haoran, I believe you."
Liang Ruobing bit her lips, her face grave upon hearing what Situ Haoran had said.
"Haoran, I..." Liang Yumei, seeing the interaction between Situ Haoran and Liu Qian, opened her mouth as if wanting to say more.
But as Liang Yumei started to speak, Situ Xin interrupted, "Enough already, no need to say more. It’s useless to argue without proof. How about this: we take a paternity test." Situ Xin said, unable to bear the sight of Liang Yumei presenting herself like Sister Lin.
"Paternity test?" Everyone present repeated the suggestion with a bit of surprise after hearing what Situ Xin had said.
"Yes, a paternity test. It will save everyone the trouble of arguing. Once the results are out, everything will be clear." Situ Xin spoke with her arms crossed and an impatient expression on her face.
"Fine, let’s have the paternity test." The first to stand up and agree was Situ Haoran, who was crystal clear about his own actions; as a result, he was not afraid of undergoing any paternity test.
"Since Haoran agrees, I have no objections," Old Master Situ also came forward to express his view. "What about you, Old Jia? You don’t disagree, do you?"
