"Don't worry, Mom, this money doesn't belong to the Qin Family, it's my own salary. I don't lack food right now, so I don't need this money. Sometimes, you don't even want to eat when your store isn't doing well. Don't be so hard on yourself, we're all grown up now, it's time for you to enjoy life."
No matter what Yang Meirong said, Huo Mien stuffed the envelope into his mother's apron pocket.
There were twenty thousand yuan inside …
Huo Mien didn't dare to give his mother too much money, because even if he gave her too much cash, she wouldn't spend it. It wasn't safe to keep it at home.
"Okay, then I'll keep it for you. If you need it in the future, I'll give it to you."
"I don't need it, just think of it as living expenses. Mom … if you want to go back to your hometown, I'll take some time off to go back with you."
Huo Mien vaguely remembered that his mother hadn't gone back to her hometown for a few years …
"No, why would I go back? Your grandparents aren't here anymore, only those gambler uncles of yours. They only want money when they see me, nothing else. A while ago, your aunt saw that you were interviewed on TV and called me. She said that you married into a rich family and wanted you to find a good partner for her Xiuling, but I rejected her. I don't want to talk to someone like your aunt. I might get into trouble if I don't deal with her. "
"Okay, but if you want to go back to your hometown, remember to tell me. I'll go with you."
"Okay, I'm not going back. From now on, wherever you and Zhixin are, that's where my home is," Yang Meirong said as she washed the dishes.
"Mom … oh, right, I suddenly thought of something."
"What is it?"
"I heard … not long after I was born, Huo Zhenghai wanted to do a DNA test. Uncle Jing carried me there?"
"Yeah, I wasn't out of confinement at the time, so I didn't have time to care about that."
"That proved that I'm his daughter, did he say anything?" Huo Mien asked tentatively.
"He gave me a sum of money, about two hundred thousand yuan. I don't care about his filthy money … I told your Uncle Jing to return it, and we've never seen each other again."
"Oh …" Huo Mien looked thoughtful.
"What's wrong? Why are you asking about this all of a sudden? "Yang Meirong looked at her daughter curiously.
"It's nothing. Ha, I suddenly remembered that I caused quite a commotion back then, and I even did a DNA test. Huo Zhenghai is such a cautious person, so he should have done a DNA test."
"That's right … He's an old fox."
Then, Huo Mien didn't say anything else. After washing the dishes, he walked out of the kitchen …
"It's getting late. Hubby, let's go home."
"Alright." Qin Chu stood up gracefully.
"Brother-in-law … Don't forget that I'm going to do an internship at your place during the holidays."
"Alright."
Qin Chu nodded. Then, the two of them bid farewell to their mother and walked out of the old house.
"What did you ask about Zhixin again?"
"It's nothing."
"Don't spoil him too much," Huo Mien advised.
"I know."
"Honey, there's something strange. Can you help me analyze it?"
In the car, Huo Mien thought about what had happened recently and decided to share it with Qin Chu.
"Okay, go ahead."
"I'm not Huo Zhenghai's daughter, that's for sure. However, I heard that Uncle Jing took me to Huo Zhenghai for a DNA test and confirmed that I was his daughter. At the time, Huo Zhenghai gave me 200,000 yuan for child support. My mom didn't want it and asked Uncle Jing to return it to Huo Zhenghai."
"What do you want to ask?" Qin Chu asked as he drove.
"I want to ask, why did Uncle Jing hide my identity from me and Huo Zhenghai?"
"Maybe he didn't want to reveal the truth," Qin Chu said slowly.
Huo Mien nodded. "Not only that, I suspect that Uncle Jing didn't give the 200,000 yuan my mom returned to Huo Zhenghai."
"Instead, he gave it to the doctor who did the DNA test?" Qin Chu continued.
"Smart … that's exactly what I was thinking. Now, everything makes sense. Uncle Jing tried his best to hide my identity and worked with the doctor who did the DNA test to fool Huo Zhenghai. That's why the Huo Family doesn't know about it. Oh, wait, I can't say that the Huo Family doesn't know. I think … Huo Siqian knows about my identity."
"Huo Siqian?" Qin Chu felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard his name.
