Xu Ke directly slapped away Su Zining’s hand: "Who the hell wants to make peace with you? You know better than anyone who’s the imposter. Didn’t you just take the things I threw away? What are you pretending here for?"

"Since you’re so eager to prove it, fine, do you dare to take a paternity test?"

Xu Ke originally didn’t plan to bother, but at this moment, this person was clearly a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Counting on this person to be good to Xiao Keyi was absolutely impossible. If this person’s real face wasn’t exposed today, they would only get worse. Instead of letting such a person be responsible, Xiao Keyi’s future would be better off in his own hands.

Jiang Na had just finished her work and saw some commotion here, so she quickly walked over and tugged her best friend’s arm.

"I tell you, think it through, this person in front of you seems gentle and polite, but Xu Ke now has every possibility of being deceitful. Do you really want to trust such a person? Don’t fall for it, or you’ll regret it, and your whole life will be ruined."

Jiang Na looked at Xu Ke with disappointment. She originally thought Xu Ke was a successful man with a decent character, but she didn’t expect everything was built on her best friend’s connections.

"If you really remember how Xiao Keyi supported you, then stop bothering her. Let her have a good life, or how do you expect her to live on?"

"Other people remember favors, but is your heart made of stone? No warmth, no affection. Now that you see her standing on the edge, you still want to be the final push, throwing her completely into the waves. You’re truly heartless. Think carefully, wasn’t she good to you before? Is this how you repay her? Aren’t you too ungrateful?"

Jiang Na was just a friend of Xiao Keyi, with limited understanding, so Xu Ke didn’t mind and was about to say something else, but didn’t expect the woman beside him to defend so fiercely, directly shaking off Jiang Na’s hand.

"If you’re here to persuade me to leave like them, there’s no need. I truly know what kind of person he is. I’m not bad at business judgment, and I’m even better at reading people. I’ve told you all that he’s a good man. If you don’t believe it, then don’t tell me you love me. You really love me? Is that why you go against my wishes, pushing me to others?"

Jiang Na saw her best friend was really angry and decided not to say more, standing aside with her eyes lowered. Yet, she couldn’t help but look down on Xu Ke in her heart. At this point, isn’t it easy to admit the foolish things he’s done? Maybe it would allow others to look up to him a bit.

At this moment, Old Master Xiao was tired. He didn’t expect Xu Ke to be so shameless, even suggesting a paternity test. What is there to test? Back then, Wang Cuixia brought the child to him personally.

Besides, Wang Cuixia’s love for this child was clear to him, and nothing else could possibly have happened.

At that time, Wang Cuixia was visibly reluctant, holding the child’s hand: "Child, mother knows this wasn’t your wish, but you must believe the Xiao Family’s eldest daughter is a good person. She will treat you well. Living together is heaven’s arrangement. You’ll thank me in the future. Our decision isn’t forcing you."

Old Master Xiao couldn’t find anything wrong in this, so he shook his head vigorously, eyes weary: "Back then, his mother came to me personally, and you suggest a paternity test now. Are you just trying to intimidate people here, do you think you can deceive an old man like me? Do you really think I’ve been blind in my 80 years of life? If I had overlooked something because I was blind, I’d apologize to you, but I’m not blind."

Su Zining was genuinely worried about a paternity test, but after hearing Old Master Xiao’s words, he felt relieved. As long as Old Master Xiao protected him, Xu Ke had no way.

"You must be joking, at the beginning, when you joined the company, you said you were an orphan, so now how do you suddenly have a mother? This is obviously inconsistent."

"It’s one thing to fool the young lady, but do you really think you can fool us? Don’t think your tricks are so clever that they can cover everything up. When the truth unfolds, your reputation will be shredded. I advise you to leave now, stop embarrassing yourself here."

At this point, Xu Ke constantly felt this was all fake. How could his mother really take this person to see Old Master Xiao? If anyone deceived Old Master Xiao, Xu Ke would believe it was this person, but there’s no way Old Master Xiao would mistake his mother. Why would she do this, and why couldn’t he find her after all this time?

Xiao Keyi’s heart sank to the bottom. She never expected Xu Ke to deceive her like this. Originally, she liked him, but if Xu Ke had been just a bit more honest, she’d have supported him to the end. But why is he still so stubborn even now?

"I’m a bit tired today; I’ll go rest first. You all continue."

After speaking, she gave a complex look and left the stage with the maid’s help. Instantly, everyone on stage looked at Xu Ke with ridicule. Seeing his beloved woman not believing him, Xu Ke helplessly shook his head. Now everything seemed to play into Su Zining’s hand, and his own mother even recognized Su Zining.

But right now, the most crucial thing is to find his mother, no matter what plan she has.

"My mother might have found you to replace me to marry Xiao Keyi. Back when we were in Taohua Village, your Xiao Zhan’s people came to kill my mother and me. We barely escaped, and my mother told me to leave there and come to the big city to live. Yet, when I returned not long ago, I found my mother was gone."

After Xu Ke spoke, he looked at Old Master Xiao’s stunned expression: "Of course you all wouldn’t admit you sent people to assassinate us. Because the Xiao Family is a big family, and you think it doesn’t match your family’s behavior. But you know who was sent back then, don’t you? If I’m not mistaken, it was the chairman, right?"

Xiao Zhen was suddenly shocked. When he sent people, they couldn’t find Xu Ke or the rumored mother-son duo. Apart from the old master, no one else knew this, is Xu Ke really?

Even Old Master Xiao, though feeling disgraced, started to have some doubts.
