Chapter 1222: I Am Your Father-in-Law (20)

These few days had been smooth sailing for Xu Cheng. Ever since the DNA test results had been out, she no longer felt unsettled. Even though her relationship with her biological mother, Huang Ying, had turned slightly sour, it was also Huang Ying who wanted her to act as Lina’s daughter in the first place. So even if Huang Ying had any misgivings, she also couldn’t regret anything now.

Besides, Huang Ying also didn’t want to expose her past involvement with traffickers. Even if she wouldn’t need to serve a jail term, Lina would also come after her for revenge.

But, the change in Xu Cheng was too apparent. Almost everything she spoke of now revolved around Lina.

Huang Ying was truly worried that Xu Cheng would be blinded by Lina’s family assets. She was worried that being Lina’s pretend daughter would imperceptibly get to her head, making her forget who truly was her biological mother.

And what made Huang Ying more upset was that she couldn’t reach Huang Long. She shut her phone down last night, and upon powering on her phone, she had received numerous notifications from Huang Long.

But when she had called him back, she no longer could reach him.

At that moment, while Huang Ying may not know, Huang Long had already been detained at the station by the local police of City H due to suspected theft and involvement in gambling activities.

After being unable to reach Huang Long once more, Huang Ying threw her phone onto the living room table in a fit.

“What happened? Who pissed you off first thing in the morning?” Xu Cheng made her way down, donning the branded clothes she got from Lina from head to toe.

“I can’t reach your uncle; God knows where he is,” Huang Ying spat angrily.

Xu Cheng chuckled and sat down on the couch. “Mother, don’t you know what your brother is like? For all you know, he’s warming the bed of some woman.” Xu Cheng’s tone clearly carried the disdain she had for Huang Long. “He must think that I’m going to rise up through the ranks and inherit those family assets worth billions of dollars. And so, he’s fearless, going around and having the time of his life drinking and hooking up. Just the thought of having to bring him with me to Europe in the future, paying for all his expenses, just makes me plain uncomfortable! A person like him around me would only lower my status.”

As Huang Ying heard Xu Cheng’s words, her expression turned sour. “Xu Cheng, what are you saying? He is still your uncle after all.”

Huang Ying and Huang Long weren’t on very good terms, but upon hearing such words sprout from Xu Cheng’s mouth, Huang Ying didn’t find it acceptable.

This was because be it in her words or her tone, Huang Ying could tell the clear disdain Xu Cheng had for Huang Long and even her own biological mother.

“Mother, what are you angry for? I’m not wrong. Your elder brother is someone who’s blinded by material riches, isn’t he?” While Xu Cheng’s words held disdain for her uncle, she seemed to not realize that what she was doing was also all because she herself was blinded by her desire for riches too.

Annoyance filled Huang Ying. Then, she shifted her focus onto Xu Cheng’s hair. Xu Cheng’s hair was always an unruly mess, but today, it was in an up-do. This made Xu Cheng, who already didn’t seem to be in her twenties, look even older.

“What’s that up-do for?” Huang Ying asked.

Xu Cheng caressed her face, smiling sweetly as she asked, “Mother, don’t you think that with an up-do, I look a little more like Lina?”

At the question, Huang Ying almost spat out blood. “Xu Cheng, you’re my daughter. Why would you want to look like her?”

Huang Ying’s words annoyed Xu Cheng. “I know I’m your daughter, would you stop reminding me! Do you really want Lina to find out that I’m pretending to be her daughter? Who made me impersonate her biological daughter in the first place? If I’m pretending, then I should look the part! What’s wrong with me wanting to look like her?”
