Chapter 1174: Hit the Target

Upon Xu Cheng’s return, Huang Ying immediately went out to welcome her home, nervously taking a look at her expression.

Eric didn’t allow her to meet Lina, saying it wasn’t time yet. Lina was someone who always thought deeply before she took action, so no mistakes were allowed if they didn’t want to be exposed.

Being unable to accompany Xu Cheng, Huang Ying felt uneasy. She knew her daughter well. While Xu Cheng was indeed confident, it was her first time partaking in such a big lie. So, Huang Ying wasn’t sure if Xu Cheng could do it well.

Every second she spent at home felt excruciating, leading to many mistakes, earning her scoldings from the old lady.

But her mind just wasn’t back at home. Even if her grandmother scolded her, she would just pretend that she didn’t hear any of it.

Only when she saw Xu Cheng return home safely, even chauffeured home in a posh car, that she felt a little relieved.

It was just that Xu Cheng didn’t look all too well.

“How was it? How did things go? Did that woman believe you?” Huang Ying tugged on Xu Cheng, questioning her.

Xu Cheng nodded her head absently before shaking her head.

Huang Ying panicked. “What do you mean? Quick, spill it. Don’t make me feel anxious!”

Just then, the sound of an old lady coughing resounded from the yard. It was then that Huang Ying realized that they were still at the doorway. It isn’t convenient to speak of such matters here, thought Huang Ying as she hurriedly dragged Xu Cheng to her room.

Upon entering the room, Xu Cheng immediately sat on the bed, a brooding expression on her face.

“What’s going on! She believed you, didn’t she? Someone sent you home, after all.” If Xu Cheng had been exposed or if that woman completely didn’t believe her, she wouldn’t have arranged for Xu Cheng to be chauffeured home.

Xu Cheng sighed. “Lina said that we’re going for a DNA test on Monday.”

Huang Ying nodded. “That’s what I expected. It’s good that you’ll be going for the DNA test. Once the results are back, it doesn’t matter how much she thinks that you aren’t her daughter, she will admit that you are,” Huang Ying said, noticing that something was amiss. If that was the case, then why was Xu Cheng acting so gloomy?

“Didn’t she say that you both will be going for a DNA test? Isn’t that what we hoped for? Why the gloomy expression? Did something else happen?”

“Mm.” Xu Cheng nodded her head absently. “As you know, Lina and Ling Tianya went shopping together today. It seems like they are very close. From the very moment we met, Lina barely smiled. She only said that we’ll get a DNA test on Monday. But at the mention of Ling Tianya’s name, Lina’s mood immediately improved.”

“Didn’t Eric say that Lina is a business partner of Ruan Zeyan’s? Lina could’ve been viewing Ling Tianya as the wife of her business partner, so she was just being happy to be polite.” Huang Ying interpreted the situation logically.

“No, she didn’t!” Xu Cheng shut down Huang Ying’s interpretation immediately. “Do you really think that the joy that she radiated, whether it’s real or just a pretense, I wouldn’t be able to tell? Even if I weren’t able to tell, Eric worked for Lina for so long, do you think he wouldn’t be able to tell? Lina favors Ling Tianya. She favors her incredibly. Not only did she get happy at just the mention of Ling Tianya’s name, but she even gave Ling Tianya an expensive necklace! On the other hand, she remained cold to me for the entire time I was there. Don’t even talk about a necklace, she didn’t even give me lip balm! That’s why I’m upset. I’m the one that’s her daughter, but she doesn’t even give two hoots about me!”

Huang Ying watched as Xu Cheng agitatedly rambled, realizing that Lina giving Ling Tianya the necklace was what made Xu Cheng upset.

Huang Ying’s expression darkened gradually. She stared at Xu Cheng, speaking to her coldly. “Xu Cheng, don’t forget, I’m your biological mother. You’re just pretending to be Lina’s daughter!”

Xu Cheng was shocked, immediately rebutting, “Of course, I know you’re my biological mother.”

“Then why were you spewing those words of jealousy? Do you really think you’re Lina’s real daughter?”
