Chapter 172: Wanting to Repair the Father-Daughter Relationship

Once this news was released, the original fans of Qin Shu and passersby were all blown away.

: "What the hell? What?!"

: "Qin Shu is actually the genius Lynn who developed the anti-cancer drug!?"

: "Is this world fantasy now? I remember she was just a female celebrity; how did she become a scientific researcher?"

: "No way, is my idol this strong across fields? From celebrity to scientific genius? And she even developed an anti-cancer drug!"

: "To the person above, did you forget that before entering the entertainment industry, Qin Shu was a top student from childhood?"

: "Yes, yes, yes, I remember there were news reports before that her grades were very good; she was the top scorer in the college entrance exam back then."

: "Yes, yes, yes, I remember she attended Qingbei University!"

: "Damn, this woman is truly amazing. With such an authoritative face, she can win an Oscar for Best Actress if she enters the entertainment industry, and she can develop anti-cancer drugs if she enters the scientific research circle!"

: "So, entering the entertainment industry was just for chasing a man, and doing scientific research is her actual hobby?"

: "As expected of the woman I like, so strong she has no friends!"

: "Sigh, this time the Gu Family really picked up sesame seeds but lost the watermelon, passing up such an amazing daughter-in-law to fancy a morally corrupt third sister."

: "Won't say, won't say."

…………

After Qin Shu finished being interviewed by reporters, she finally found a moment of peace and was preparing to go back to rest when a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Huahua."

When Qin Shu heard this voice calling her childhood nickname, goosebumps rose all over her body.

She turned around to look; Chu Xuanming was in a crisp suit, looking at Qin Shu with a loving smile, like a proud father looking at his favorite daughter.

Qin Shu frowned deeply, a chill rising in the bottom of her heart.

Qin Shu looked at Chu Xuanming expressionlessly, her voice indifferent: "Does President Chu have something to say?"

Facing Qin Shu's cold face, Chu Xuanming did not feel awkward, still looking at Qin Shu with a kind smile: "Huahua, where have you been these four years?"

"When Dad found out you had a car accident back then, I was so worried I couldn't sleep all night."

As Chu Xuanming said this, the corners of his eyes turned slightly red.

It was as if he really cared about his daughter, Qin Shu.

Dad?

Hearing this form of address, the expression on Qin Shu's face became even colder.

When she needed Chu Xuanming most back then, he never came to see her once; she was very ill, constantly muttering her father's name, and when she called, Chu Xuanming would hang up on her directly.

Qin Shu was very young then and didn't understand how her biological father, who had always doted on her, could suddenly stop paying attention to her one day, and even be full of disgust toward her.

When Qin Zhiyun divorced Chu Xuanming, she was schemed into leaving with nothing; after the divorce, Chu Xuanming discussed it in the media: "Since we are divorced, don't have any contact in the future."

Therefore, to the outside world, he never acknowledged Qin Shu's identity.

When Qin Shu was eight years old, she went to Chu Xuanming's house, and when someone came to the house and asked who the Qin Shu beside him was.

Chu Xuanming looked at her and said indifferently: "A distant relative's child, here for the summer vacation to take care of my daughter."

From that time on, unless absolutely necessary, Qin Shu would not go to find her father, Chu Xuanming.

Now, hearing Chu Xuanming say he was worried about her, her heart could no longer stir up any waves, and the expression on her face was like looking at a stranger.

Chu Xuanming met Qin Shu's clear eyes and smiled: "Dad is having a birthday in two days, do you want to come and hang out?"

"It's been a long time since we father and daughter ate together."

Father and daughter?

Qin Shu finally smiled, looking at him with a half-smile on her lips: "Mr. Chu, am I not the daughter of your distant relative, the foster daughter you spoke of?"

Chu Xuanming choked, sighed gloomily: "Huahua, I know you resent me in your heart for not acknowledging you."

"But Dad had his own difficulties."

"Your stepmother was pregnant at the time, and I was afraid of upsetting her, so she wouldn't let me acknowledge you," the man said earnestly.

Qin Shu couldn't be bothered to look at him again, saying coldly: "My dad is long dead, you should go."

Hearing this, Chu Xuanming's mouth twitched, his fingers clenched into a fist; looking at Qin Shu's unyielding attitude, a sense of frustration suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Huahua, no matter what, I am still your father." Chu Xuanming didn't want to provoke her, his tone softening: "I still hope you can give me a chance to be a father and let me take good care of you."

Qin Shu chuckled: "Sure, then give me the shares my mother left me first, and I'll give you that chance."

Chu Xuanming stiffened instantly; he looked at Qin Shu and said awkwardly: "I'm afraid that won't work."

The shares originally intended for Qin Shu, to be officially transferred to her name when she turned 18, had now been given to Chu Sheng by Chu Xuanming.

It was obviously impossible to make Chu Sheng give up those shares.

But Chu Xuanming didn't want to give up on repairing the father-daughter relationship with Qin Shu either.

With a daughter like Qin Shu, given her current status, position, and value.

Coaxing her back to the Gu Family would bring benefits that were absolutely unimaginably rich.

In his eyes, no matter how much Qin Shu hated him, in the face of absolute profit, she would let go of her hatred and reconcile with him as her father.

If she didn't acknowledge him, it was only because he hadn't given enough.

Qin Shu had long expected he would be reluctant, and sneered: "Then don't mention any father-daughter bond to me."

Seeing her cold and hard attitude, Chu Xuanming felt a fire rise in his heart; how could she speak to her own father like that?

Chu Xuanming's chest heaved: "Let me go back and think about it."

After saying this, he walked past Qin Shu, his fingers plucking a strand of hair.

Chu Xuanming walked out of the Ji Family Company and sat in the car; he looked down at the hair in his hand, his eyes deep.

The man desperately hoped in his heart that Qin Shu was his biological daughter.

Many years ago, a DNA test showed that Qin Shu was not his seed, which was why he had been so cold and heartless to her for so many years.

Yet now, knowing full well what the result would be, Chu Xuanming still wanted to verify it.

If only Qin Shu were his biological daughter; then their Chu Family would have produced a genius in the medical world who shocked the globe.

This was something he, Chu Xuanming, had craved his entire life.

Unfortunately, Chu Sheng's talent was somewhat lacking, and while Chu Yu was clever, she could not compare to Qin Shu.

And yet, Qin Shu was not his own flesh and blood.

Chu Xuanming's eyes dimmed; he pulled out a strand of his own hair, tied it together with the strand of Qin Shu's hair, handed them to the driver, and instructed, "Go and check the DNA."

"Do not let anyone know about this."

The driver took the two strands of hair: "Yes, President Chu."

The Chu Family.

As soon as Chu Xuanming returned to the Chu Family villa, he heard a loud commotion of things being smashed coming from upstairs.
