"Hmm!" A child's face changes faster than turning pages of a book. Qing Ke only needs a few words to make her smile again.
Qing Ke took Cha Cha's hand and walked into the living room. "Come on, Cha Cha, mommy will show you around our home. From now on, you will be the little princess of our family. We will live here forever. Come on, mommy will take you to my room."
As the two reached the stairs, they were stopped by Bai Meng's voice.
"Stop, where are you going?"
"Come upstairs! Take Cha Cha to familiarize herself with the home."
"You..." Bai Meng was so angry that he stood up from the sofa. Looking at his eyes, he really wanted to eat Cha Cha alive.
When Cha Cha saw Bai Meng's ferocious look, she was so scared that she grabbed Qing Ke tightly.
Shang Xin's face was filled with sorrow. He felt guilty, ashamed that he had let Qingke be humiliated by that bastard Wu Meng. So, whenever Qingke wanted to do something, he would do his best to satisfy her, like going abroad for four years to study. But this time, Qingke had actually brought a child back, and he couldn't stand by her side anymore.
Seeing Qing Ke was stunned and didn't move, he finally spoke, "Keke, we are at home now, we are all family, come here and explain everything clearly. Our Shang family is not an orphanage, and we can't just take this unclear child home."
An unknown child?
When Qing Ke heard this, he showed an indignant expression and pulled Cha Cha to sit on the sofa.
"Dad, what are you talking about? What unclear child? This is your own granddaughter. How can you talk about your own granddaughter like that?" Qing Ke said angrily, picking up an orange on the coffee table and peeling it.
"Granddaughter? Keke, can you please stop joking and tell Daddy, whose child is this?"
Qing Ke didn't rush to answer. She handed the peeled orange to Cha Cha who was sitting next to her, "Cha Cha, come here. Are you hungry? Eat an orange first. Dinner will be served soon."
"Yeah!" Cha Cha smiled and nodded, took the orange, stuffed the slices into her mouth one by one, and ate it very sweetly.
Shang Xin and Bai Meng looked at Qing Ke eagerly, waiting for her answer.
Seeing Chacha eating so happily, Qingke smiled with relief. Then she turned around and spoke to Shangxin, "Dad, what do you want me to do to convince you that Chacha is your biological granddaughter? Do you really have to take Chacha to the hospital for a paternity test before you believe it?"
"This..." Shang Xin and Bai Meng looked at each other, and were so blocked by Qing Ke that they didn't know what to say.
At this time, the nanny came down from upstairs after putting the boxes away and accidentally heard something. She stood at the stairs curiously, ready to listen again.
Seeing this, Shang Xin quickly asked her to go out and buy a bottle of wine, saying that Qing Ke was back and they wanted to celebrate properly. In fact, he was just afraid that she would hear something she shouldn't hear.
"Keke, is this child really yours?" Shang Xin was a little skeptical when he saw Qingke was so insistent.
"Really, there's no benefit in me lying to you. If it weren't for Cha Cha, I wouldn't have gone abroad four years ago. At that time, I also hesitated whether to give birth to Cha Cha. Now it seems that my decision was correct. Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a well-behaved and lovely daughter." Qing Ke said while stroking Cha Cha's black hair.
Qing Ke's words were somewhat sentimental, but also very serious. Shang Xin's slight doubts were slowly erased by Qing Ke's seriousness. He knew his daughter well. Qing Ke was not a good liar. He could not see a trace of deception in Qing Ke's eyes.
"Who is the father of the child?"
Shang Xin was silent for a moment, and finally asked the most crucial question.
The smile on Qing Ke's face suddenly stopped, and the orange in his hand rolled to the ground.
"Why don't you say something? Who on earth is so ignorant that he dares to bully our Shang family?"
Bai Meng saw that she was silent for a long time, and couldn't wait to continue asking Qing Ke.
"This..." Qing Ke's expression was solemn. He clenched his fists, and his nails dug a row of white crescents in his palms. "Cha Cha has no father, only a mother. She is my daughter alone."
"Hehehe! Keke, you are telling us a joke, right? Without a father, do you think this is the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West, where drinking the water from the Mother and Child River can allow you to be pregnant for ten months. You said it so firmly just now, how come you let it slip now?" Bai Meng laughed bitterly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
