Old Madam Lin was very dissatisfied with everything that was happening in front of her. Her expression was terrifyingly dark. Lin Shulian was causing trouble everywhere. Because of her existence, nothing in this family was peaceful.
She said slowly, âIn that case, Lawyer Huang, bring all four of them over to do a round of DNA tests. We canât let others say that our Lin family is unfair. Weâll talk about the inheritance when all the conclusions are out. As for Su Beiâ¦â
In fact, Old Madam Lin had always had a good impression of Su Bei. Now that Su Bei was not Lin Shulianâs daughter, she felt a little better. Even her tone became gentler when she spoke to her, âSu Bei, if we find out that youâre really not Lin Shulianâs daughter, you donât have to worry. Iâll naturally get someone to investigate what exactly happened. I wonât slander you for no reason.â
âThank you, Old Madam,â she said softly.
Tang Yue felt a flash of pleasure.
Lin Shulian looked away and lowered her head, not daring to look up at Su Bei.
â¦
The Tang family.
Old Master Tang sat on the sofa, his fingers trembling.
âHow could it be? Which doctor did the test? Was it tested repeatedly?â
He could not accept the conclusion that Su Bei was not his granddaughter.
Tang Yue said softly, âWeâve already checked and verified it. Lawyer Huang from the Lin family also took our blood for verification again. The first person theyâll check is Su Bei.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Old Master Tang looked at Su Bei, and his heart ached. Su Bei had not spoken much since she came back. Since she was not from the Tang and Lin families, she had no right to speak.
Previously, she had no feelings for Lin Shulian and Tang Jianming. At that time, she had always thought that she had not developed any feelings for her family because she had not lived with them since she was young.
Now that the truth was out, she understood what was going on.
Old Master Tang sighed. âSu Bei, Iâm really sorry. This matter was my oversight. At that time, I only saw a photo of you when you were young and insisted that you were the missing child of the Tang family. Coupled with the fact that your age was a match, I didnât even do a paternity test and directly acknowledged you, causing you a great deal of harm. Iâm really sorry. Please accept my apology.â
He rose with the aid of his cane and was about to bow and apologize.
Tears welled up in Su Beiâs eyes. She quickly reached out to support him. âGrandpa, donât say that. I know that your concern and love for me are sincere. I donât blame you for this. Donât blame yourself too much.â
Lin Shulian avoided her gaze and said guiltily, âIâm also responsible. At that time, I didnât suggest doing a paternity test and just directly brought Su Bei back. If I had known, I wouldâve done a paternity test. I wouldnât have given Su Bei unnecessary hope. Now, I have to take it all away.â
Su Bei didnât want to blame her. In the end, it was a human oversight, but not an intentional one.
âForget it, Aunt. Donât blame yourself. Maybe the photo itself of me. I spent a lot of time in the orphanage. Maybe photos of other children ended up in my hands,â she said. âThis is the address of the orphanage. If you want to try looking for her, try there.â
She carefully placed a note with an address on it on the table and placed a teacup on it. She would treat it as her way of repaying Old Master Tangâs last kindness.
âSu Beiâ¦â Old Master Tang really wanted to acknowledge Su Bei as his granddaughter, but he didnât think Su Bei would agree.
Tang Yue immediately said, âGrandpa, Iâll go to the orphanage soon. Iâll definitely find my sister.â
Old Master Tang did not comment.
Tang Yue said again, âSu Bei, since youâre no longer a member of our family, shouldnât you return the mall to us?â
âI never intended to ask for these things anyway.â Seeing Tang Yueâs anxious expression as if she was afraid that she would take those things for herself, Su Bei really found it funny. âIâll get a lawyer to come over tomorrow and liquidate all the assets. I wonât take a single cent from the Tang family.â
âSu Bei, Iâm not targeting you. Itâs just that these things should be given to my sister. When I find my biological sister, Iâll definitely give them to her. Iâm only thinking of my sister. You can understand, right?â Tang Yue said hypocritically.
Su Bei couldnât be bothered with her. She just said to Old Master Tang, âGrandpa, Iâll leave first.â
âIâll send you off,â said Old Master Tang while leaning on his walking cane.
âNo, Grandpa. Take care of yourself.â
Su Bei turned around and walked toward the door. In fact, it wasnât that she wouldnât miss him. Although she didnât have a close relationship with him in this family, Old Master Tang had really given her a lot of love and care. He was really like a biological grandfather to her, making her enjoy a rare sense of kinship.
It was something she rarely enjoyed back then.
In the future, she would have to return all of it.
âSu Bei,â Old Master Tang called her name again.
Su Bei immediately turned around. âGrandpa?â
âSu Bei, will you come back to see me?â Old Master Tang cried.
Su Bei held back her tears. âI will. You can go back first.â
She turned and hurried out.
Tang Yueâs face was filled with pleasure. She raised her exquisite nails and rubbed them carefully. She blamed herself for being too careless. If she had known that Su Bei was only an impostor, she wouldnât have thought of those methods to deal with Su Bei in the past.
âI just knew it!â
Compared to Lin Shulian and Old Master Tang, Tang Jianming was not as emotional. After Su Bei left, the couple did not say much.
Tang Yue went forward to support Old Master Tang. âGrandpa, you have to take care of yourself. We still have to look for my biological sister.â
Old Master Tang was unmoved. He was still very concerned about Tang Yue abandoning her younger sister.
When Su Bei went out, Lu Hetingâs car was already waiting outside.
He had originally arranged with Su Bei to pick her up after she was done with the inheritance matters.
Su Bei had been busy all day and had yet to tell him about her background.
After she got into the car, her eyes reddened, and tears finally fell.
Lu Hetingâs eyes instantly darkened, and the ruthless aura on his body swept across the entire vehicle. His voice also lost its warmth. âWhat happened? Who did it?â
His fingers gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white as if he wanted to crush the neck of the person who bullied Su Bei.
He reached out to hold Su Beiâs hand, and the force of his fingers softened. He used his fingers to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
