Chapter 1044 Not His Biological Child
Xia Wenhe thought he had misheard, his face full of astonishment: "What did you say?"
Huo Xiuyuan smiled and said, "This child is quite good, but he is not a member of the Huo family. You've come to the wrong place."
"Impossible! He is Huo Nanxiao's child. I am the child's mother, and I know better than anyone who the child's father is!" Xia Luoluo exclaimed shrilly.
Huo Xiuyuan chuckled: "Perhaps you don't even know it yourself?"
"Ridiculous, how could I not know? I'm not stupid." Xia Luoluo laughed in anger at his words.
Huo Xiuyuan sighed: "Miss Xia, why don't you investigate properly? If you're willing to investigate, you'll get results soon."
Looking at the child in her arms, Huo Xiuyuan's smile deepened: "This child is indeed very cute and looks a lot like Miss Xia. He is a blessed child. I heard that you have put in a lot of effort to protect these children. I believe that even if this child is not from the Huo family, you will raise him well to adulthood."
His words directly severed all ties.
They have absolutely no intention of paying child support!
Xia Wenhe was furious, and Xia Luoluo's expression wasn't much better.
But what does it matter? Huo Xiuyuan didn't care at all.
"I'm tired, you should go." Huo Xiuyuan said this before getting up to leave.
"Stop!" Xia Luoluo called out to him excitedly.
Huo Xiuyuan stopped and turned to look at her: "Do you have any other doubts?"
Charlotte said, "What makes you think the child isn't yours?"
"Because Nan Xiao never touched you, he's certain of that. I trust my son, so I won't acknowledge this child. As for you, you should think carefully about what happened back then." Huo Xiuyuan chuckled and left.
The father and daughter were left standing there bewildered in the wind. In the end, everyone's eyes were fixed on the child.
Xia Wenhe didn't quite understand what Huo Xiuyuan meant, and suddenly looked at Xia Luoluo: "Did you understand what he said? The child isn't Huo Nanxiao's?"
“Impossible, this child must be Huo Nanxiao’s, I can’t be wrong.” Xia Luoluo’s attitude was very firm.
Xia Wenhe: "What does Huo Xiuyuan mean? He's clearly denying it. Did you give him some leverage over us?"
“What could he possibly have on me? This child is definitely Huo Nanxiao’s. Huo Xiuyuan must be deliberately denying the child for the sake of the Huo family’s reputation.” Xia Luoluo believed that this must be the reason.
Thinking that Huo Xiuyuan would likely hold a press conference to sever ties with the child, Xia Luoluo decided to strike first and spread the news that the Huo family was unwilling to pay child support, putting pressure on the Huo family.
Outsiders had no idea what had happened. All they knew was that the Huo and Xia families had gotten into a mess because of this incident, and the Xia Group was even unable to continue its business due to the Huo family's interference.
Therefore, people don't have a good opinion of the Huo family, believing that the Huo family is so rich, yet they are unwilling to pay child support.
After being deliberately led by Xia Luoluo, everyone was criticizing the Huo family for being inhumane and not paying child support. In the end, reporters even came to their door to protest.
Huo Xiuyuan also found it amusing and told Huo Nanxiao about it.
Huo Nanxiao originally didn't want things to get too ugly. He knew that once some things were made public, Xia Luoluo would be completely unable to live.
But given the current situation, it's impossible not to clarify things once and for all.
On that day, Huo Nanxiao held a press conference and announced that he could conduct a paternity test with Huo Suian, and broadcast the testing process and results online.
This news immediately caused a huge stir upon its release.
The media paid close attention to this matter and immediately began to follow up on it.
Xia Luoluo was also puzzled. She didn't even understand why Huo Nanxiao would do this. Didn't he not want to raise the child? Why did he publicly conduct a paternity test? Wasn't Huo Nanxiao afraid that once the paternity test was done, he would never be able to escape it for the rest of his life?
Or perhaps Huo Nanxiao wanted to sabotage things and use this opportunity to completely sever ties?
Based on Xia Luoluo's understanding of Huo Nanxiao, he would definitely choose the latter.
Therefore, Xia Luoluo outwardly agreed to Huo Nanxiao's proposal, but secretly asked the Han family to investigate the situation.
Based on Han Musen's understanding of Huo Nanxiao, he wouldn't fight a battle unprepared.
Han Musen asked, "Are you sure this child is Huo Nanxiao's?"
Xia Luoluo: "Of course, would I lie?"
Han Musen: "Then why would the Huo family say that the child is someone else's? They must have evidence."
Xia Luoluo laughed in exasperation: "What evidence could they possibly have?"
Han Musen pondered for a long time before turning his gaze to the child in Xia Luoluo's belly. He asked, "Why does this child look nothing like Huo Nanxiao?"
"What can you tell from a baby that's only a few months old?" Charlotte asked angrily.
Han Musen said, "But there's not a single resemblance between them in their eyes and eyebrows. Is it possible that this child really isn't Huo Nanxiao's?"
"Are you kidding me? How can you say something like that so casually? If my child isn't Huo Nanxiao's, whose is it? Don't you know what the Huo family is thinking? Of course they can't acknowledge this child; they have their pride too," Xia Luoluo explained.
Han Musen thought about it carefully and felt that what she said made some sense, but since Huo Nanxiao agreed to do a paternity test, it meant that he would definitely do something behind the scenes.
But this time, the paternity test was made public, with the results broadcast in real time, and professional staff were monitoring the entire process. There was absolutely no possibility of falsification. So the question is, why is Huo Nanxiao so confident?
Han Musen dared not gamble, so he could only send people to investigate secretly.
As for Xia Luoluo, who was determined to take her child to Huo Nanxiao for a paternity test, she readily agreed to the Huo family's request.
The next morning, Xia Luoluo took the child to the identification center, along with many reporters and media, to report on the progress throughout the process.
In addition to the Xia family, the Huo family also arrived.
To prevent any fraudulent activity by either party, samples were collected in person, and no one was allowed any opportunity for underhanded dealings.
Everything went very smoothly, and the entire process of waiting for the results was monitored by cameras. Almost no one present left beforehand.
Such tight precautions finally relieved Xia Luoluo. With a smug smile on her face, she said to Huo Xiuyuan, "Uncle Huo, if this child really is from the Huo family, you can't go back on your promise to me."
Huo Xiuyuan smiled slightly: "I mean what I say."
"Okay!" Xia Luoluo was very happy.
After a long wait, the staff finally came out of the testing room, holding a report in their hands.
Xia Luoluo rushed over immediately and asked, "How is it? Have the results come out yet? They are father and son, right?"
The staff member frowned and said, "After testing, the child is not related to Mr. Huo by blood."
