When Su Qingsang got up in the morning, Huo Jinyao was already out of bed. She knew that he did morning exercises every day.
After she washed up, she left the room to see whether Xiang Caiping was up or not. She found that she was not only up, but she had also made breakfast, which smelt good.
Looking at the busy figure in the kitchen, Su Qingsang really believed for a moment that Xiang Caiping was her mother.
Xiang Caiping had just put breakfast on the table when she saw that Su Qingsang had come out. She rubbed her hands uneasily.
“I didn’t mean to use your kitchen. I just wanted to make you a meal.”
Seeing Su Qingsang standing still, Xiang Caiping became more and more uneasy. “I don’t know what you like to eat, so I just made some porridge and dishes acceptable in Lin City. I don’t know if you will enjoy them or not.”
Su Qingsang could not put into words what she felt. She had imagined this scene many times before. Now that it had come true, she couldn’t believe it.
“Qingsang?” She said her name again, with a wary look on her face.
“It’s okay,” said Su Qingsang, shaking her head. “You didn’t have to do that. Huo Jinyao brings back breakfast when he gets back from his morning exercise.”
“I saw him.” Xiang Caiping was getting on in years and slept less. “When I got up in the morning, I saw that he was going out. I told him not to buy breakfast.”
Su Qingsang had no more to say and, soon, Huo Jinyao came back.
“Let’s have breakfast,” said Xiang Caiping, warily. Su Qingsang felt uncomfortable about her wary attitude. It was as if she was afraid of displeasing Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao.
“I don’t know if you’ll eat anything.” Xiang Caiping looked at Huo Jinyao, somewhat nervously.
She knew that Huo Jinyao had an unusual family background and was afraid that he would dislike the food she had prepared.
“It’s all right, Aunt. I’m not picky about what I eat.”
Xiang Caiping seemed to relax a little. Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao stared at each other, wondering what to do with her.
After eating, Xiang Caiping took the initiative to wash the dishes before Su Qingsang could stop her.
When Su Qingsang was ready to go to work, Xiang Caiping had packed.
“Qingsang.” Her voice still sounded wary. “Are we going to do a DNA test now?”
Su Qingsang glanced at Huo Jinyao who gave her a sign with his eyes. She thought for a second and believed that it was reasonable to do it now.
She was about to ask Xiang Caiping to go with her when her mobile phone rang.
“Dr. Su, the pregnant woman with diabetes who came in yesterday fell into a coma this morning. Her condition is bad”
“How long has she been in a coma? I’ll be right there.”
Su Qingsang remembered the pregnant woman who had come yesterday, who had not been in a good condition when she first got in.
She asked the nurse on the phone to do some emergency treatment before hanging up the phone. She saw Xiang Caiping still standing there waiting for her. Now, she had no time for her.
“Aunt, we will do the DNA test when I’m free. I must go to the hospital right not.”
“Well, off you go. I’ll wait for you.”
“I’ll drive you there.” Huo Jinyao was ready. He looked at Xiang Caiping and exchanged another look with Su Qingsang, who followed him out of the door.
When the two got into the car, Huo Jinyao told her directly.
“I had it checked out yesterday.”
“And?” Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao, nervously.
“If the information from my investigation is correct, everything she said is true.”
