CHAPTER 882: CHAPTER 884: GOING FOR A DNA TEST

"Sir, you can’t do that. Chu Si is still so young, where can you take her? At home, you have me to help look after her. If you take her elsewhere and find outsiders or a nanny to care for her, how could you be at ease, sir? Besides, didn’t you say you want to give Chu Si a healthy family environment to grow up in? Sir, how can you think about taking Chu Si and leaving just because of a couple of angry words from the lady?"

Lin Fei intended to leave with Chu Si. But Aunt Lan, who had developed quite an affection for Chu Si, obviously didn’t want Lin Fei to leave with her because of a couple of quarrels with Mu Shanshan.

"Aunt Lan, you don’t understand; it’s not that I want to leave. It’s that someone doesn’t want me to stay here. The host doesn’t welcome us, so Chu Si and I have to leave!"

"Oh, sir—" Aunt Lan, hearing Lin Fei’s implication, knew that persuading him would likely be futile. Thus, after a long sigh, Aunt Lan anxiously glanced at Mu Shanshan and spoke up in a warning tone, "Miss, I know you’re angry. But no matter how angry you get, you can’t drive out the sir and Chu Si. I’m begging you, miss, don’t let the sir and Chu Si leave. If the sir really takes Chu Si away, you’ll definitely regret it, miss."

Aunt Lan’s warning did not prompt Mu Shanshan to voice a plea for Lin Fei to stay.

Mu Shanshan, still furious, pretended not to hear Aunt Lan’s words, turning her head silently.

"Aunt Lan, you see, it’s not that I don’t want to stay. It’s really that someone doesn’t want me to stay. Just give Chu Si to me. Even if we leave, we won’t end up on the streets."

Feeling quite angry himself, Lin Fei noticed Mu Shanshan had no intention of asking him to stay. He couldn’t be bothered to say anything more.

As soon as his words fell, Lin Fei attempted to take Chu Si from Aunt Lan and leave.

"Sir, you can’t leave, no matter what, you can’t leave."

Aunt Lan, knowing she absolutely couldn’t let Lin Fei take Chu Si away at this point, noticed Lin Fei trying to take Chu Si from her arms to leave. Aunt Lan, while verbally trying to persuade Lin Fei to stay, rose from the dining table, holding Chu Si as she moved closer to Mu Shanshan.

"Miss, even if you suspect Chu Si is the sir’s daughter, it’s just suspicion right now. Talk to the sir nicely; he’s not unwilling to take Chu Si for a DNA test. Even if you’re angry, you should wait until the test results are out, proving Chu Si is indeed the sir’s daughter, then you can be angry, isn’t it?"

"Miss, think about it. By the time the test results are out, what if Chu Si isn’t the sir’s daughter? Then you’ll regret rushing them out, and it’ll be too late. Moreover, miss, maybe you didn’t know, both of Chu Si’s parents have passed away. With such a pitiful background, how can you have the heart to drive her out?"

Aunt Lan’s words caused Mu Shanshan’s anger to gradually subside, and she wanted to say something. Unfortunately, constrained by her own disposition, Mu Shanshan hesitated for a long time but couldn’t bring herself to speak.

Just as Lin Fei was about to take Chu Si forcibly from Aunt Lan’s arms to leave the house, the doorbell rang.

The doorbell ringing suddenly was slightly surprising, but it did help ease the awkward atmosphere among the three.

"I’ll get the door."

Knowing that it was unlikely for Mu Shanshan, the CEO’s wife, to answer the door, Lin Fei composed himself and walked straight to the entrance.

After Lin Fei opened the door, Butcher, carrying a pile of baby food and many children’s toys, walked straight into the house.

"Boss, heard from Sister Mei that you brought Chu Si home. Where’s Chu Si? Hurry, bring her out so I can see her."

As soon as Butcher entered and put down his things, he immediately asked to see Chu Si.

Hearing Butcher enter, Aunt Lan and Mu Shanshan showed no intention to linger in the dining room.

After Butcher spoke, Mu Shanshan and Aunt Lan, holding Chu Si, walked towards the living room.

"Sister? Why are you back too—oh, it must’ve been the boss who called you back, right? Sister, surely you’re aware of the situation now. Regarding Chu Si’s adoption, what do you think?"

"Think about what?! Your sister is about to sweep both me and Chu Si out of the house. Good timing, let me pack Chu Si and my things up, then we can leave together."

"Wait, boss, hold on, what’s going on here?!" Butcher, stunned by Lin Fei’s words, watched Lin Fei heading upstairs. Butcher instinctively grabbed Lin Fei, glancing at Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan, and Chu Si in Aunt Lan’s arms, he asked Lin Fei in shock.

However, without waiting for Lin Fei’s response, Mu Shanshan, who hadn’t spoken until now, suddenly spoke coldly: "Xiao Xuan, you came at a good time. Tell me, whose child is Chu Si after all?!"

"Huh?"

Butcher instinctively gaped. After getting over the initial shock, he was able to discern some things from Mu Shanshan’s question.

Thus, releasing Lin Fei, Butcher explained to Mu Shanshan with some amusement, "Sister, you’re overthinking. I can definitely tell you, Chu Si is the daughter of a very close comrade of ours in the army, me and the boss. Chu Si’s dad is like a brother to us, that’s why we’ve been adamantly searching for Chu Si."

"Miss, you heard him. Mr. Gao also said, Chu Si isn’t the sir’s daughter, so now you can finally be at ease?"

"How do I know they’re not conspiring to deceive me?" Despite the explanations and persuasion from Butcher and Aunt Lan, Mu Shanshan’s doubts weren’t entirely alleviated.

This almost defiant response from Mu Shanshan sparked Lin Fei’s anger even more.

"Mu Shanshan, you don’t believe, do you? Fine, I can take Chu Si for a DNA test right now. But one thing, I’m not doing the test for nothing. Let’s clear it up, if the result shows Chu Si isn’t my daughter, you tell me, how can we punish you?!"

"Even if Chu Si isn’t your daughter, why should you punish me?!"

"Then what’s your reason for doubting me and driving me away?!"

"I—" Mu Shanshan, left speechless by Lin Fei’s retort, unwilling to lower her stance, took a deep breath and coldly replied to Lin Fei, "As long as the test proves Chu Si isn’t your daughter, whatever you say, I’ll do!"

"Fine, you said it yourself."

Responding to Mu Shanshan, Lin Fei, without hesitation, took Chu Si from Aunt Lan’s arms, and called Butcher to drive them to the DNA test...
