Chapter 293: 237 The scheme was exposed, the manipulative mother and daughter got their just deserts!_2
Xia Yourong just couldn’t stand her mother being so kind-hearted, "Please, stop mistreating yourself!"
Qiao Yufen remained silent for quite a long time, but eventually, she picked up that thing from the table.
After all, since Xiaoruo already knew, it was no longer possible to keep it a secret. It would be better to take this opportunity...
She sighed, tore the seal off the envelope, and took out the DNA report.
Having an answer in her mind, she flipped through the report and began to explain to the guests, "Everyone here today is a good friend of mine, Qiao Yufen. I don’t consider you outsiders. Actually, Xiaorong is my..."
She skipped over the tedious data comparisons at the beginning and flipped directly to the crucial page at the bottom.
The DNA similarity between the two: 12.7999%.
Qiao Yufen took a quick glance, "She is my kin..."
Before she could finish the word ’granddaughter’, she suddenly realized something, looked down quickly, and turned her gaze back to the DNA report.
12.7999%?
Why is it so low?
The report Xu Qing showed her before wasn’t like this, was it?
Qiao Yufen couldn’t react for a moment, and the report fell onto the table as her hand loosened. Some guests, unable to curb their curiosity, took a look and were also startled, then passed it on to the people around them.
Everyone who saw it wore a puzzled expression.
"Doesn’t this mean there’s no blood relation?"
"So she is still an adopted daughter?"
"Could the daughter of the Xia family be... a little off?"
"Shh! Keep it down!"
Qiao Yufen looked at Xu Qing with a puzzled face. Xu Qing, however, didn’t dare to meet her gaze at all.
Xia Yourong was gleefully anticipating the public acknowledgment of her status as the legitimate daughter, but the scenario she expected didn’t occur. Instead, the guests looked at her with very strange expressions.
Just as she was about to grab the report to find out the truth, the huge round table suddenly started to rotate.
A few seconds later, the report came to a stop in front of a pair of fair hands.
Xia Ye picked up the report at a leisurely pace and read aloud, "The DNA similarity between the two: 12.7999%... No blood relation..."
She lifted an eyebrow nonchalantly.
It seems Dad didn’t lie.
Xia Yourong’s eyes bulged with disbelief. She rushed forward in two steps, snatched the report, and scrutinized it closely.
As she looked at the DNA results displayed, she shook her head,
and her body staggered backward.
Impossible, impossible!
She couldn’t have made a mistake. The hair samples sent to the testing center were hers and her father’s. How could the result be like this?!
Xu Qing’s figure swayed, barely standing. She sneaked a glance at Qiao Yufen’s extremely upset face, retreated two steps, and while no one was looking, she left her daughter behind and beat a hasty retreat.
To the Xia family, she was an outsider anyway. Even if some guests saw her leave, they wouldn’t say anything. But Xia Yourong, no matter what, was still the Xia family’s young mistress.
Guests ushered her back into the banquet, trying to smooth things over, "Oh, Xiaorong, even though you’re an adopted daughter, the old lady, Mr. Xia, and Mrs. Xia have all been so good to you. We’ve watched you grow up from a little girl, and it doesn’t differ from a real daughter. Don’t mind these things. Come, take your seat. The dishes will be served soon."
Everyone proceeded as if nothing had happened, and the conversation revolved around Qiao Yufen’s second granddaughter, Xia Ye. No matter what about Xia Yourong, as soon as Xia Ye was mentioned, the guests had nothing but praise and genuine fondness for her.
Qiao Yufen was out of sorts throughout, managing only to smile and respond to the guests around her, but her mind was far from the current event.
And as for Xia Yourong, she was virtually a walking corpse.
She’s not her father’s biological daughter?
She shares no blood relation with her father?
After the birthday banquet concluded, Xia Yuzheng saw off the guests and returned to the private room, where the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing.
He was so angry that his hands trembled, and pointing at Xia Yourong, he turned to Qiao Yufen, "Mom, is this the good daughter you insisted I adopt?!"
In fact, Qiao Yufen’s teeth were nearly clenched to breaking.
More than a decade ago, Xu Qing, with a rather pretty little girl, came to her, crying her eyes out, and gave her a paternity test report. It stated in black and white that Xiaorong was her son’s direct blood relative!!
When Xu Qing spoke of the past, she was tearful and sniffling. Qiao Yufen had no suspicion at all; she really remembered that, over four years ago, Xu Qing had gone to the Xia family to visit her sister, only to end up spending the night at the Xia family villa.
At that time, Qiao Yufen had asked her son about it, and he said he didn’t know anything, as he had retired to his room with his wife after dinner and only found out the next day that Xu Qing had stayed over at their villa.
Qiao Yufen was always skeptical about the matter, so when she heard Xu Qing’s story, combined with the DNA test, she immediately believed it...
