Chapter 178: The World Has Been Subverted

"Raising her is not as good as raising a dog; at least a dog would wag its tail at me."

Chu Laotaitai slapped the sofa and wailed, "Oh my, this little wild seed only knows how to return kindness with enmity!"

Chu Yu sat to the side; from the moment Qin Shu entered the door until she left, she had been quiet the entire time.

If it were before, Chu Yu would certainly have helped her grandmother by echoing a few words.

But hearing these words from Chu Laotaitai, she did not agree; she had known of the existence of Qin Shu and her mother since she could remember.

Yet the Chu Family had never raised Qin Shu for a single day; her father loathed and detested her, and even the medical expenses for Qin Shu's grandmother back then were only obtained because Qin Shu knelt outside in the pouring rain to beg for them.

Calling her an ungrateful wretch, someone who returns kindness with enmity, a heartless, wolf-hearted person.

Chu Yu felt embarrassed just hearing it.

The Chu Family had no grace of upbringing toward Qin Shu at all, so where did this talk of an ungrateful wretch come from?

It was a mercy that Qin Shu hadn't killed them.

Chu Yu's ears were filled with the constant accusations and curses from Chu Laotaitai, and she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart—a discomfort she had never felt before.

Especially after knowing that Qin Shu was the Lynn she admired most.

Chu Yu felt her world had collapsed; her feelings for Qin Shu were very complex now, a sense of fragmentation.

The elder she admired and revered the most was actually the "sister" she hated the most.

Usually, Chu Yu felt nothing when the whole family cursed Qin Shu, but now, listening to Chu Laotaitai curse Qin Shu like a shrew in the street, a faint sense of irritation and disgust rose in her heart.

Chu Yu sighed, "Grandmother, stop talking."

Chu Laotaitai glared at her, "Since when did you start speaking up for Qin Shu?"

Chu Yu: "I didn't. Go ahead and curse, keep cursing."

"I don't care anymore."

She glanced at Gu Tingyan and went upstairs, looking thoroughly annoyed.

Chu Yu returned to her room and opened her bookcase, which held the latest news released by Xinrui Technology: how Qin Shu was found back then, how she spent day and night in the laboratory—besides work, it was just work—like a workaholic, staying in the lab 360 days a year.

The development of the anti-cancer drug was no accident, but all the heart and blood Qin Shu had poured into it.

The official Weibo account of Xinrui Technology had also posted a few photos of Qin Shu in the laboratory wearing a white coat; her expression was serious and earnest, not at all like she was in daily life.

Chu Yu was in medicine, and she felt a sense of awe and solemnity toward the highest authority in the medical field.

Chu Yu's eyes were complex: "How could you be Lynn?"

The genius of the medical world, Lynn, was actually her arch-rival since childhood.

Hearing these words from Chu Laotaitai, Gu Tingyan felt a surge of disgust in his eyes; he only felt nauseated and sick, his brows dark and heavy, filled with baleful energy.

Had the Chu Family ever raised Qin Shu for a single day?

Now they turned around and called Qin Shu an ungrateful wretch, speaking as if the Chu Family had bestowed some great favor upon her.

Chu Xuanming loathed Qin Shu, and Jiang Chenxue only knew how to put on a facade; she was a kind person in front of Gu Tingyan, but behind his back, she wore a different, foul face.

Seeing Gu Tingyan come downstairs, Chu Laotaitai cried even louder, every word and sentence accusing Qin Shu of returning kindness with enmity and being heartless.

If not for their Chu Family back then, could Qin Shu have married Gu Tingyan?

She would never have been able to cling to the Gu Family in her entire life!

If it weren't for Gu Tingyan's leg injury, would it ever have been her turn?

If they had known earlier, they should have let Chu Yu marry Gu Tingyan!

Who knew Gu Tingyan's legs were so serious, yet he could still stand up from his wheelchair.

Seeing Gu Tingyan come downstairs, Jiang Chenxue hurriedly asked, "Tingyan, what did Qin Shu do to Sheng?"

Gu Tingyan: "She is fine."

Jiang Chenxue was uneasy and quickly went upstairs.

Gu Tingyan stood before Chu Xuanming in his suit, his voice deep: "I hope that today's events will not be in the news tomorrow."

Chu Xuanming paused, his eyes looking coldly at Gu Tingyan: "Gu Tingyan, what do you mean?"

Gu Tingyan looked at him coldly: "Is it honorable to leak this?"

The man sneered: "Why would Qin Shu break into the Chu Family to hit Chu Sheng? Would she hit someone for no reason?"

"Qin Shu's status and position are prominent now; she is different from before."

"Do you think you can manipulate her?"

"She is famous globally now, with great renown; if this is leaked, the only one who will suffer is Chu Sheng."

Gu Tingyan: "Chu Xuanming, I am informing you, not seeking your opinion."

Chu Xuanming's heart skipped a beat; reminded by Gu Tingyan, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

That's right, the current Qin Shu was different from the Qin Shu of the past; they could no longer control her.

Chu Xuanming: "I understand."

After Gu Tingyan left, Chu Xuanming sat heavily on the sofa; his phone suddenly vibrated—it was a WeChat message from the driver.

Chu Xuanming tapped it open; it was a photo, and the paternity test report showed that Chu Xuanming and Qin Shu were biological father and daughter.

Chu Xuanming was stunned; he stood up abruptly, looking at that paternity test report, his face full of disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

Chu Xuanming's face turned deathly pale, and he kept muttering.

How could it be a biological father-daughter relationship?

This was impossible.

Back then, he had tested the paternity results between him and Qin Shu countless times, and the results always showed they were not biological father and daughter.

That was why Chu Xuanming had been so angry, resentful, and hateful toward Qin Shu.

He believed Qin Zhiyun had betrayed him, which was why he had been so cold and ruthless in his slaughter of the Qin Family, cold and heartless, leaving no room for mercy.

Chu Xuanming personally severed the father-daughter relationship between himself and Qin Shu.

The greater the love in the beginning, the greater the hatred that followed, and the more ruthless he was toward Qin Shu.

Old Madam Chu looked at him: "What is the matter?"

Chu Xuanming paused, glanced at his mother, and said: "It is nothing."

He left the house in a great hurry, draped in a black overcoat, and only after walking some distance did he call the driver, his voice trembling: "Did you make a mistake?"

The driver: "Sir, I did not make a mistake; this is the result provided by the hospital."

Chu Xuanming's brain was buzzing, and he felt that all the concepts he had held for decades were beginning to be overturned.

"Where did you have the paternity test done?"

The driver: "First Municipal Hospital."

This was a resource owned by Ji Yanli's family.

Upon hearing this name, Chu Xuanming frowned; Ji Yanli and Qin Shu had a close relationship now, so could it be that Ji Yanli had done this on purpose after finding out?

"Did anyone discover that you are my driver?"

The driver: "Sir, no."

"Didn't you tell me to act in secret? I didn't even give them my real name; I slipped them some money and had my wife go to the hospital to do it."

"Later, for fear of a mistake, I found a friend of mine who works at the hospital, and he helped test it; both reports show a father-daughter relationship."

Chu Xuanming was stunned; he hung up the phone and stood frozen on the spot.

Father-daughter relationship.

How could he and Qin Shu have a father-daughter relationship?

Chu Xuanming looked at the other newly sent report; both showed they were biological father and daughter.

Chu Xuanming's body swayed, his face deathly pale, and he felt as if he had been kept in the dark by something all these years.
