Besides, Eric knew Lina well. He knew how much the words biological mother meant to her, and that was exactly why he was sure to include it in what Xu Cheng needed to say.

And it seemed like Eric was right. No matter how much doubt Lina had that Xu Cheng being her long lost daughter, as soon as she heard those words, it visibly caused her to waver.

Xu Cheng continued, My mother told me, back then, after she bought me from the trafficker, I was brought up in my uncles house in City H. It was only after a few years that I moved to the current house Im living in. Due to the One Child Policy, I wasnt able to receive an education. To ensure that I would be able to attend school, my parents had to rely on their connections for me to get registered. In the end, during the registration process, the officer got my birth year wrong, making me seem older than I really was. This was also why I became Ruan Zeyans elder cousin. In order to make sure I wouldnt know that I was a child bought off the streets and to protect my fragile innocence, my mother had always kept these issues away from me. This led me to believe that I had already reached my thirties and that I was Ruan Zeyans elder cousin. But in reality, I wasnt, Im a lot younger than Ruan Zeyan...

Xu Cheng shared everything Huang Ying had told her to. Anyway, no one knew where the officer in charge of her registration had gone. Besides, so many years had pa.s.sed. Even if an investigation was to be held, nothing would be found. So long as the DNA test showed that Xu Cheng was Linas daughter, Lina would also not investigate further.

Luckily for her, the Xu Family and Ruan Family barely kept in touch all these years. Even if Lina had gone to question the Ruan Family, they also wouldnt be able to determine Xu Chengs age, nor would they have the knowledge of issues regarding the Xu Family back then. So, Huang Ying could just fabricate any story she wanted.

What Xu Cheng shared seemed completely logical and believable, but Lina still felt that something seemed off; however, she couldnt pinpoint what seemed wrong either.

But no matter how Lina looked at Xu Cheng, she couldnt imagine that Xu Cheng was only 27 years old. Her style seemed too mature and she didnt seem to have a youthful sense of style. Even with make-up on, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were visible. If she took into consideration self-care, which most did, Lina felt that the lady before her that was claiming herself to be Linas daughter had worse skin than herself.

If she had to compare, Lina felt that it seemed more plausible for Ling Tianya to be her daughter compared to Xu Cheng. If it was Ling Tianya who was before her today, Lina probably wouldnt have as many doubts as she had now.

As soon as such thoughts arose, Lina found herself having mixed feelings.

Based on the evidence before her, it was likely that Xu Cheng was her daughter. But, why was she feeling so unsettled?

So, are you my biological mother? Xu Cheng put on a brave front, questioning Lina directly, trying her best to seem pitiful so that she would be able to earn Linas affection.

It was those words again. When Lina first heard the words biological mother, her heart throbbed. But as she heard those words again, it was as if she was immune now; they no longer had an effect on her.

She no longer reacted to Xu Chengs words. Instead, Lina faced Eric. I think I have more trust in science. Lets go for a DNA test. Eric, youll be in charge. Please make the necessary arrangements.

Alright, Eric answered.

Thank G.o.d you asked for a DNA test, I was still afraid you wouldnt want it! he thought.

Linas instructions were exactly what Eric had expected. Even though it was evident that Lina wasnt very fond of Xu Cheng, as soon as the DNA test results were out, no matter how much she disliked Xu Cheng, she would need to accept the truth: Xu Cheng was her daughter.
