Gu Tingjiang looked at Su Xiao nervously, holding his breath.
Su Xiao frowned slightly, recalling how her parents treated her, and said firmly, "My parents love me very much."
Gu Tingjiang's tense body instantly went limp, like a deflated balloon, utterly listless.
He slumped down, burying his head in his hands. Suddenly, he looked up, his eyes bloodshot, like a trapped beast making a last-ditch effort. "It may be presumptuous, but I still want to ask you, are you your parents' biological child?"
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that he would ask so bluntly. But looking at his demeanor, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible.
Su Xiao didn't want to take the initiative to acknowledge her relatives, after all, she and the original owner of this body were still different.
She lost her parents when she was in high school in her previous life and has lived alone ever since. She has been an adult and independent for too long. Now that she has been reassigned to another set of parents so suddenly, she doesn't know if she can play the role of a daughter well.
In particular, there are so many dramatic and unbelievable things that happen between these parents.
But she wouldn't lie on purpose.
"no."
boom……
Gu Tingjiang felt as if his mind had exploded, his ears suddenly ringing, and he could no longer hear any sounds from outside.
"What? What did you say?" After a long while, he finally found his voice.
Su Xiao sighed softly and said calmly, "I am indeed not my parents' biological child, but they have always raised me as their own daughter. In my heart, they are the best parents in the world."
Su Xiao's words were undeniably harsh.
The joy that had just welled up in Gu Tingjiang's heart instantly turned into bitterness.
Looking into the girl's clear eyes, he felt an intense pain in his heart.
"Yes, I'm sorry, my dad didn't protect you well, I'm sorry." Gu Tingjiang reached out to touch her, but Su Xiao dodged him.
Su Xiao frowned and said with utmost seriousness, "Mr. Gu, I know you are anxious to find your daughter, but isn't it too hasty to conclude that I am your missing daughter based solely on my appearance? After all, there are many people in this world who look alike."
"No, I have other clues. My Lulu was abandoned at the South City Railway Station," Gu Tingjiang quickly explained.
But Su Xiao immediately seized on the loophole in those words, "The train station? That's not right. My parents found me at Nancheng Hospital."
Hmm, it doesn't match up.
Su Xiao was also reflecting on whether she had been too presumptuous. She had guessed the original owner's connection to the Gu family based solely on the jade pendant; now she was being proven wrong.
She still felt that without a paternity test, nothing was certain.
"Hospital?" Gu Tingjiang was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The train station? The hospital? The two locations are several kilometers apart, definitely not a short distance that can be reached in a few minutes by stopping at Jinshan Station.
Therefore, without clarifying the intermediate process, it is indeed impossible to prove that she is his daughter, Gu Qinglu.
But deep down, he had a feeling that the girl in front of him was very likely Lulu.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go find evidence right now. No matter how difficult it is, I will prove that you are my lost daughter. Xiaoxiao, you..."
Gu Tingjiang had a thousand words to say, but he was speechless at this moment.
Finally, with a sigh, he said, "I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to visit the Gu family. Your grandfather likes you very much; he was talking about you with me the other day. When you have time, go and visit him..."
Gu Tingjiang left, and Su Xiao stood at the door, watching the car drive away, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
