Chapter 185: Chapter 185: You Better Pray Your Mother is Not Wu Xiucai’s Daughter!

A menacing aura slowly rose from the depths of his heart, his hand clenched the armrest of the sofa, and with a softened voice he said, "What’s so difficult about that? Nowadays, technology abroad is very advanced, as long as you agree to a paternity test, it can quickly determine the relationship between your mother and my elder brother."

Qiao Qingyu still spoke softly, "Mr. Wu, a paternity test cannot be done casually, it still requires my parents’ consent."

"How could your parents disagree? If your mother really is my younger brother’s biological daughter, do you know how massive an inheritance you would stand to receive?"

Qiao Qingyu curved her lips but did not respond to Mr. Wu’s words. Instead, she asked in surprise, "Mr. Wu, where is your brother now?"

Wu Xiujie frowned, suppressing his impatience, "He’s in the U.S."

Qiao Qingyu clenched her hand, her palm sweaty, perhaps due to the hot weather, perhaps the old man always gave an uncomfortable vibe, or perhaps she was just overthinking...

Wu Xiujie, leaning on his cane, stood up and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps my visit today was indeed too presumptuous, and it’s understandable that you didn’t react immediately. I’ll be staying in the country for a while, and I plan to find an opportunity to visit the Qiao Family Team."

Qiao Qingyu also stood up, disagreeing, "Mr. Wu, I think before Chairman Wu returns to the country, it’s best not to disturb my father and mother."

"Little girl, do you think this is disturbance?" Wu Xiujie asked with a heavy gaze.

Qiao Qingyu nodded, "Yes."

The room suddenly fell silent, and after a moment, Wu Xiujie chuckled, "You, young lady, really have a calm temperament. If it were any other young girl, they would undoubtedly be overjoyed and lost in excitement by now."

"Mr. Wu, you are too courteous. By the way, why didn’t Chairman Wu come with you this time?"

"He has many unresolved issues, and he can’t return for now."

"Then there’s no rush in this matter. It’s rare to visit China, and the country has changed a lot. You can take a stroll and tour around to see the great landscapes of our motherland..."

Qiao Qingyu kindly suggested.

Wu Xiujie’s face remained calm as he looked at Qiao Qingyu with interest, and then without a word, he walked towards the door. Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly stopped, looked at Qiao Qingyu who was not far away, and lowered his voice, "Qiao Qingyu, you’d better pray that your mother is not Wu Xiucai’s daughter!"

Qiao Qingyu’s gaze sharpened, "Mr. Wu, what do you mean?"

Wu Xiujie roared with laughter, pointing at Qiao Qingyu, "You really are quite adorable..."

Then he opened the door, walking gracefully towards the resting area where Zhao Tian and others were seated. Qiao Qingyu hurriedly followed and stopped Wu Xiujie, "Mr. Wu, what did you just say? Could you please repeat it?"

Wu Xiujie’s red sandalwood cane was merely for show as he was quite agile. He stopped, amusedly watching Qiao Qingyu, suddenly coughed a few times, heaved a sigh, and said, "Qiao Qingyu, don’t be disappointed, there’s still a one in ten thousand chance that we are related by blood. You might still have a chance at the inheritance, so don’t hurry, just wait patiently."

Qiao Qingyu, taken aback by the sudden change in Wu Xiujie’s demeanor, was momentarily at a loss for response.

However, others, including Zhao Tian and Shen Haoming, overheard the conversation.

At that moment, He Xiuyu hurried up the stairs.

He carried a bulging cloth bag, seemingly filled with many items.

He was somewhat astonished by the scene before him.

Wu Xiujie bypassed Qiao Qingyu, shaking his head and sighing, "Ah, how morals have declined! The moment there’s talk of an inheritance, everyone desperately leaps forward, regardless of the truth. How have the young people of Huaxia become so mercenary..."

Qiao Qingyu stared in disbelief, mouth agape, watching the old coot’s retreating back—it was undeniable, she had been duped.

For the first time in her life, Qiao Qingyu had been thoroughly tricked.

Moreover, it seemed there was no chance to refute.

Because Wu Xiujie had already approached Zhao Tian, politely saying, "Let’s go, many pieces of information don’t match, yet she firmly claimed there was no issue, sigh..."

Wu Peng’s gaze flashed with understanding, and he looked at the startled Qiao Qingyu with a hint of sympathy.

A young girl, how could she contend against an old fox?

It was just a pity that this family would soon be wiped out.

Whether or not this family could escape was unavoidable!

He turned around and prepared to follow Wu Xiujie downstairs.

It was the first time Qiao Qingyu had experienced what it meant to suffer silently, unable to voice her agony. She stood rooted to the spot, her hands clenched together, watching Wu Xiujie at the staircase, her expression finally calming down bit by bit.

Wu Xiujie was just about to go downstairs when he suddenly turned around to look at Qiao Qingyu, who was standing not far away. He raised his eyebrows, this girl didn’t make a fuss or vehemently argue, but she calmed down so quickly.

Interesting!

He turned to Zhao Tian who was following beside him and said, "This is all my fault, I’ll invite her to dinner at a restaurant when there’s a chance in the future."

Zhao Tian smiled gently, saying, "Mr. Wu, watch your steps on the stairs."

He did not express an opinion on the matter since the identities of these two people were somewhat sensitive.

After speaking a few words with He Xiuyu, Shen Haoming also followed them out.

Qiao Qingyu glanced at He Xiuyu and snorted softly, then pulled the running Rongrong into the room.

He Xiuyu’s expression remained calm. He followed leisurely, and by the time he entered the room, Qiao Qingyu had already taken Rongrong for a bath.

The bathroom here was a real bathroom, equipped with a shower and 24-hour hot water supply. After Qiao Qingyu and He Xuerong finished bathing and came out, He Xiuyu had already left.

Qiao Qingyu was not in a good mood, and for the first time, she truly realized what an awkward and embarrassing situation it was to be Han Xianglan’s daughter married to He Xiuyu.

She became somewhat uncertain about the future.

And who exactly was this suddenly appearing Wu Xiujie?

Why did he speak and act so oddly?

He always gave her a dangerous feeling.

Rongrong was tired, so Qiao Qingyu stopped her wild thoughts and took her to the bedroom to rest.

As soon as they opened the room’s door, the two were briefly stunned. He Xuerong rushed to the bed, then turned and shouted loudly, "Little aunt, look, these are the high heels we saw in the store."

Next to the high heels, there was also a box. The clever girl picked up the box and handed it to the approaching Qiao Qingyu, "Little aunt, quickly open it and see what’s inside."

Qiao Qingyu thought for a moment, then opened the box, which contained two lipsticks—both in her favorite colors.

She had never used such things since arriving here because she simply didn’t think of using them.

Later, in Nangang City, she hadn’t seen lipsticks for sale either.

She wondered where He Xiuyu had bought them from.
