Chapter 152: She is not a child of our Xu family

Chapter 152

Shi Li was stopped by Feng Yunhe during the break of their Daoist Studies class. At that time, not only were all the students from Class 1 still near the auditorium, but also most of Class 2 and a few from Class 3.

Her internal grumbling about Song Ying being pretentious was naturally overheard by those who hadn't left yet.

In her inner monologue, Shi Li didn't just complain about Song Ying being calculating; she also revealed that Song Ying was actually Xu Xing's biological daughter, and that Xu Xing's current daughter was a fake heiress.

As these revelations were heard, many curious individuals began to ponder the matter of the Xu family's true and false heiresses.

Among those who could hear Shi Li's thoughts, this information began to spread on a small scale.

One of the girls in the crowd happened to be a relative of Younger Aunt Xu's family. She was the niece of Uncle-in-law Xu. When the Xu family chose husbands for their daughters, they didn't aim for social climbing, but prioritized character above all.

Uncle-in-law Xu was a decent man. Compared to ordinary people, his family situation was quite good, but it couldn't compare to the Xu family.

Because of the contrast with her maiden family and her close friends, Younger Aunt Xu felt quite discontented.

She often went to her parents' home to eat and take things, and even tried to assert authority there.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Xu loved their daughter, they were discerning people who knew they couldn't let their married daughter run the household. The family still needed to be managed by their daughter-in-law.

Having lost the battle for household authority to her sister-in-law, Younger Aunt Xu had long harbored resentment towards her sister-in-law and her niece and nephew, viewing all three as outsiders.

Among these three "outsiders," Younger Aunt Xu particularly despised her eldest niece, Xu Xinxin, because the girl had never treated her as an elder and often mocked and ridiculed her.

Despite her poor relationship with her "own" niece, Younger Aunt Xu got along well with her husband's niece.

Uncle-in-law Xu's niece was named Chao Junjun, a classmate from Class 3. She had left the vicinity of the auditorium early and hadn't heard Shi Li's thoughts. She only learned about the matter through her class's small group chat.

Chao Junjun had a good relationship with her aunt. Knowing that her aunt disliked Xu Xinxin, she went home and subtly hinted to Younger Aunt Xu that Xu Xinxin's appearance and demeanor didn't resemble the Xu family at all, suggesting there might be something fishy going on.

When Chao Junjun's mother overheard this, she felt her daughter was trying to sow discord and immediately stopped her.

However, these words left an indelible impression on Younger Aunt Xu's mind.

So when she returned home, she snuck into Xu Xinxin's room, collected some samples, and secretly sent them for DNA testing.

The test results were very satisfying to her. Younger Aunt Xu wasn't someone who could keep a secret, nor was she capable of using this secret to create a big stir.

As parents, they were worried about their daughter and wanted to fly over to see her, but Xu Xinxin talked them out of it, and they ultimately didn't go abroad to visit her.

Xu Xinxin was having a great time abroad when she received a text from her mother saying she missed her and wanted her to come home for a couple of days.

Of course, she didn't miss home or her family. She now had money and freedom, could play however she wanted without worrying about going home to be nagged by her parents.

Xu Xing and his wife were worried about a young girl being bullied abroad, so they tried to satisfy her financially as much as possible.

Xu Xinxin didn't want to go home and thought about using the excuse of being busy with studies again, like during the New Year, to dissuade her mother.

But this time, Madam Xu was adamant that she must return.

Considering that she still needed financial support from her parents, Xu Xinxin finally agreed.

When Madam Xu picked up her daughter, she was shocked, "How did you lose so much weight? Are you not doing well abroad? Don't be stingy with the money your father and I give you. Look at how thin you've become."

"Why don't you come back to study in China? We'd feel more at ease with you by our side."

Returning to China was out of the question. Xu Xinxin immediately refused, "No way!"

"Then how about I go abroad to accompany you while you study?"

That was even more unacceptable. With her parents around, where would her freedom be?

Xu Xinxin had dark circles under her eyes. She yawned, "I just haven't been sleeping well. I'm not coming back to study in China, and you don't need to accompany me. Just don't worry about it, I can take care of myself!"

Madam Xu smiled awkwardly, "Alright, alright, it's my fault for saying the wrong thing."

When Madam Xu collected the sample, she didn't do it secretly. Under the pretext of trimming her daughter's nails, she openly took the nail clippings away.

She could have sent her daughter's and husband's samples for testing, but she was afraid her sister-in-law would accuse her of manipulating the results.

Madam Xu personally handed her daughter's hair to her sister-in-law, "Here's Xinxin's hair. You go test it."

Even a person made of mud has their limits of patience. Being suspected of bearing a child that wasn't her husband's naturally put Madam Xu in a foul mood.

She knew whether she had been unfaithful or not. Now, she almost hoped the child wasn't related to her sister-in-law by blood, as it would prove that the sister-in-law wasn't her husband's real sister.

(Shi Li: Hmm... how could that not be the case?)
