However, she bent down subconsciously and picked it up.
When she opened the document, the paper on the top was a paternity test report in bold. Cheng Shuyu got so scared that her hands were shaking.
No wonder!
It made sense as to why Jing Qian was no longer under their control. It was because this girl already knew that she wasn’t their biological daughter.
Cheng Shuyu felt her heart turn cold, and she had a bad feeling about it.
However, as soon as she thought of Jing Lu, Cheng Shuyu mustered up her courage as a mother who was trying to protect her daughter.
Cheng Shuyu sneered, “I’ve been wanting to talk to you about it, but since you already found out about it on your own, let’s talk about it now.”
“Oh?”
Seeing how Cheng Shuyu was acting as if she had expected this, Jing Qian got interested as well.
Jing Qian was really curious as to how the princess of the Di family, the richest family in the Imperial City, ended up as a daughter of a poor family in H City. She also wanted to know why this woman could still be so proud of herself in regards to this matter.
“It’s true that you’re not my biological child. You were just an infant that I saved in the earlier days. If it wasn’t because of me, you would have drowned in the river.”
Jing Qian suddenly smiled.
The bright, charming smile that she had on her face almost burnt Cheng Shuyu.
While facing this daughter of hers, who was getting more attractive, she couldn’t help but feel that everything was spinning out of control.
“The parents in the olden days love saying to their child that I picked you up from the river or I picked you up at the garbage site. I thought that these were just lies. You’re using this on me as well?”
Cheng Shuyu felt provoked.
“Why would I lie to you?! I was the one who saw you drowning in the water and felt pity for you, which was why I jumped into the water to save you. If it wasn’t because of me, you would have died. Why do you think you would still be standing here talking to me in such an arrogant manner? Jing Qian, if only you were a little conscientious, you would do exactly what I told you to. I was the one who saved your life and raised you. If you don’t do as I say, you will regret it! You are a celebrity after all. Aren’t you afraid that you will be hated by others?”
While Jing Qian was being questioned by Cheng Shuyu, Jing Qian’s smile grew.
“There’s something that I don’t understand here. I became your daughter because you saved me from the river. Twenty years ago, in July, you gave birth to a little girl in a local hospital, Jimin Hospital. Where did the little girl go?”
Cheng Shuyu was taken aback.
Her face, which was originally prideful and was demanding Jing Qian’s respect, cracked instantly. As she stared at the grinning girl in front of her, the last string inside her broke.
It had already been 20 years.
20 years ago, it wasn’t an age where they had security cameras everywhere.
Back then, being a surrogate was something common in the H City, and the person who hired her was extremely powerful. With their wealth and status, she never thought that she would be exposed one day in the future.
Plus, she never expected it to be Jing Qian who would figure this out.
“You investigated my past?”
Jing Qian was looking at Cheng Shuyu with an excited look on her face, as Cheng Shuyu was slowly losing control over her facial emotion and there were cracks on her face like a tortoise’s shell.
“Yup. I did,” Jing Qian admitted.
Although Cheng Shuyu felt nervous, she was still aware that the person that hired her wasn’t an ordinary one. They wouldn’t have been caught. If they did, Jing Qian would have found her biological parents by now.
She quickly ran through the story in her heart, one that she had come up with years ago, and told it to Jing Qian.
