Chapter 292: 237 The scheme was exposed, the insincere mother and daughter got what they deserved!

When they reached the entrance to the private room, Xu Qing glanced at her daughter and then noticed the file folder in her hand.

’Capital City XX Paternity Testing Center’

As her eyes swept over the words on the folder, Xu Qing felt a buzzing explosion in her head, and her scalp went numb.

In a hurry, she tried to pull Xia Yourong—

"Xiaorong, you’re finally here. Come sit next to Grandma."

Xia Yourong entered the room before her. Xu Qing watched as the sleeve of her daughter’s clothing slipped from her fingers, her lips visibly draining of color at a rapid pace.

With an enigmatic smile, Xia Yourong stepped inside: "Grandma, I have something for you."

Qiao Yufen was overjoyed, thinking the gift was indeed prepared for her. She beamed at her friends, "This child is so filial."

She also cast a glance in Xia Ye’s direction.

Xia Ye met her gaze with a mysterious smile.

Xia Yourong moved forward with presence, and just as Xu Qing had described, she placed the folder directly on the table.

The dishes hadn’t been served yet, and the folder lay conspicuously in the center of the table.

Her smile was generous and sweet: "Grandma, you’ve always treated me as your biological granddaughter, and I’ve always considered you my true grandmother. I’ve always wondered if we had some kind of connection in a past life, and it was only recently that I discovered... you are my real grandmother!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the room involuntarily turned their gaze to the folder.

Upon seeing the words clearly, the room fell silent.

A paternity test report?

What did this mean?!

Xu Qing pulled on Xia Yourong’s hand and tried to walk out, her face beet red with anger: "Have you lost your mind? Today is your grandmother’s 80th birthday celebration!"

Despite Xia Yourong usually appearing fragile, to the point where she needed the boys in class to help her open a bottle of mineral water, she exhibited unexpected strength at this moment, and Xu Qing simply couldn’t pull her away.

"Stop pulling me! I heard everything you said to Grandma that day. I am not an adopted child, so why should I keep living in the Xia Family under the identity of an adopted daughter? Why should I be the one to suffer for the mistakes you’ve made? I want everyone to see the truth, and the truth... is in that folder!"

The guests exchanged glances—this situation seemed complex.

The Xia Family’s eldest daughter wasn’t an adopted child?

So that meant...

Xu He looked towards Xia Yourong with extreme helplessness: "Xiaorong, have you seen the contents of that folder before?"

Xia Yourong clearly misunderstood her meaning: "Don’t worry, I came straight here after getting the results. The seal is still unbroken, and I haven’t opened it, to prevent anyone from suspecting that I’ve tampered with it..."

She was cut off by a loud ’pang’ sound.

Xia Yuzheng slammed his broad palm on the table with tremendous force, his expression darkening to the extreme: "How much further do you intend to take this? Can’t you see what day it is? You are becoming more and more unreasonable!"

He had thought that Xia Yourong’s time at the old house would lead her to some self-reflection, but it seemed... she was still fixated on this issue.

Xia Yuzheng knew his eldest daughter was under the wrong impression that he was her biological father.

Having navigated the business world for decades, he could see right through her intentions. Today, she had deliberately chosen his mother’s 80th birthday to push for the truth, wanting to confirm the facts in front of all the guests.

While her animosity towards Yeye could still be explained by jealousy, now it seemed that even her beloved grandmother was being calculated against.

The depth of her scheming startled Xia Yuzheng.

Xia Yourong was completely oblivious to the dying light in Xia Yuzheng’s eyes and continued to argue her case: "Dad, you’re the ones causing trouble, not me!"

She was all-in, and the situation was about to spiral out of control.

"Enough," Qiao Yufen, who had been silent for a while, couldn’t help but tremble with contained emotion.

She hadn’t expected Xiaorong to have heard their conversation that day.

While Qiao Yufen was certainly angry, the guests present were close old friends who saw her regularly, so now that things had come to this point, she couldn’t afford to lose her temper in front of them—it would only serve to entertain others.

Moreover, Xiaorong was indeed flesh and blood of their Xia Family; she could also blame her son for not being able to control himself.

With a hand trembling in a bid for steadiness, Qiao Yufen’s expression was somewhat stiff as she turned to the guests: "Would you all step out for a moment, I need to deal with some family matters..."

Just as the guests began to agree, Xia Yuzheng stopped them, his tone carrying a chilling undertone: "No need to trouble everyone with leaving. How can we inconvenience you all? Xiaorong wants to open the paternity report in front of everyone, right? Mother, you go ahead and open it."

"Don’t trouble yourself, Grandma, today is your grand celebration. Don’t let Xiaorong spoil the mood for everyone. I’ll take her away right now..." Xu Qing’s tone was particularly urgent.
