173 Her Mother Would Still Feel Sorry For Her

Cai Rixi gasped for breath and stared at the paternity test.

‘No! I have to calm down!’ Cai Rixi took a sip of water and tidied up her messy hair.

Since she had snatched the report, her parents should not know the truth. Cai Rixi put the paternity test results into the shredder, wanting to destroy the evidence.

Cai Rixi was worried that it could still be salvaged, so she gathered the shredded papers and burned them.

As she watched the burning flames, a trace of viciousness flashed in Cai Rixi’s eyes.

She had to plan for her future.

…

When Cai Wenlun and Chen Xiaomei returned home, Cai Rixi had already composed herself. She greeted her parents like how she always did in the past.

Cai Wenlun and Chen Xiaomei looked at each other and maintained their calm.

“How are you feeling, Rixi?” asked Chen Xiaomei. “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Cai Rixi’s lips curved into a smile. Her mother would still feel sorry for her.

Her eyes turned red, and she jumped into Chen Xiaomei’s arms. Cai Rixi said coquettishly, “Mom, I was too worked up earlier. My… don’t want you to see that report.”

No matter what, this was a daughter whom she had raised herself. Chen Xiaomei looked at Cai Rixi and could not bear to see her like this. She did not want to believe it, either.

‘Arranging for Ming Liuyi to marry into the Yao family in her stead was Cai Rixi’s idea. She must have been brainwashed by Mr. and Mrs. Ming.’

Even if she was not her biological daughter, Chen Xiaomei believed that in the Cai family’s environment and upbringing, Cai Rixi was a good child. The Cai family provided the best environment for her to grow up in, and she had just graduated from university not long ago. Since her graduation, she had been writing literature. She must be pure and kind.

Considering that Cai Rixi had just been in a car accident and had been hospitalized for a few days, her mental state might not be good. Cai Rixi’s parents were afraid of agitating her. Before they returned, they had discussed with Ming Liuyi that they would slowly tell Cai Rixi about this matter. They could not force her into a dead-end.

Cai Rixi saw that her parents’ expressions were the same as usual and guessed that they did not know the truth yet. However, she was still worried, so she asked, “Why did you take so long to come back?”

“I was handling your discharge,” Cai Wenlun said. “It took some time.”

Cai Rixi heaved a sigh of relief. She then deliberately said, “Dad, mom, no matter what happens, you’ll always be my parents. I’m the daughter that you love and are proud of. Nothing will separate us. Don’t listen to rumors.”

Chen Xiaomei coughed unnaturally. She said, “Rixi, don’t worry too much. Go and have a good rest.” After that, Chen Xiaomei let go of Cai Rixi and went upstairs.

Cai Rixi looked at Cai Wenlun, who had not left yet. She said, “Father, there’s something not right with this Dr. Wang. Otherwise, why would he suddenly want a paternity test? Are you suspecting that mother cheated on you…?”

Cai Wenlun was speechless. He wondered if it was due to the change of his mental state from knowing her true identity, but today, whenever he looked at Cai Rixi, he felt that she was nothing like him.

…

Yao Zizhou did not agree to reveal this bit by bit. After all, Cai Rixi had tried to harm others many times. Yao Zizhou felt that such a person was not worthy of pity.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a little later,” Ming Liuyi said. “Don’t tell me you’re invested in my status as the Cai family’s daughter?”

“Why would I care about that? Is there anything more satisfying to me than the title of Madam Yao?”

Ming Liuyi smiled and said, “Cai Rixi is a ruthless person. She really wants to destroy me. She would even try to hit me with her car. If you push her too hard, it’s easy for her to do something more dangerous.”

“My wife is a deity, how could I be afraid of her?” Yao Zizhou asked with a surprised expression. “If she does anything bad, won’t she be punished by the heavens at any time?”

Ming Liuyi thought for a moment and said, “To be honest, if we were indoors, I don’t know if the power of lightning would still be useful…”

Yao Zizhou gently caressed Ming Liuyi’s hair and said, “It was just a joke. No matter what, from now on, I’ll have people protect you.”

Ming Liuyi said, “It just so happens that the charity foundation has started a new project recently. The place is quite far away. It’s hard to travel back and forth every day… I want to move to the city.”

“You mean you want to move back into the main manor?” Yao Zizhou asked in surprise.

Ming Liuyi shook her head. “No, I want to go to your apartment in the city center. It’s very convenient there, and you don’t have to spend so much time on the road every day. Do you think that’s possible?”
