Xiao Lin hesitated for a few seconds, also feeling that the man looked like he had never fought before, and let him go.
He spread his hands, asking both sides not to fight, and said to Susu, "I won't force my way into their home. Can you go in and deliver a message for me? If you don't believe me, look at the little girl's arm. Does she have the same birthmark?"
In Susu's memory, Xiaoxiao's right arm seemed to have such a birthmark, but it wasn't as red, it was a faint flesh color, not obvious unless you looked closely.
Seeing Susu's attitude soften, the man hesitated and said, "I finally found this place. I just want to confirm if that girl is my biological daughter?"
Susu looked at the man again, thinking that when Xiaoxiao needed to treat leukemia, An Jing had also tried to find Xiaoxiao's biological father, but couldn't.
Now this person had come to their door in person, it was truly a twist of fate.
She finally agreed and said, "Okay, I'll have a friend open the door, but you can only stay outside the door for now."
"Okay, no problem." The blond man lowered his sleeve.
Xiao Xingxing ran down from the car at some point and tugged at Susu's hand, saying, "Mom, is he Xiaoxiao's biological father?"
Susu held his hand, signaling him not to speak carelessly, and then took out her phone to call Lan Yu.
In the surveillance footage at the door of the house, Lan Yu saw Susu negotiating with the foreign man outside the door.
As soon as Susu's call came, she answered immediately.
"Lan Yu, open the door and let me and Xiao Xingxing in first," Susu said. "Xiao Lin is watching these two people outside, they won't dare to mess around."
Lan Yu said "uh-huh" and pressed the remote door opening button.
Susu brought Xiao Xingxing into their home. The blond man, true to his word, was still waiting outside the main door and did not follow them in.
"Don't be afraid, those two are probably not bad people," Susu's first sentence upon entering was to comfort Lan Yu.
Lan Yu asked, "Are they really here to acknowledge Xiaoxiao as their relative?"
Susu nodded and looked at the situation in the house, asking, "Where are the two children?"
"I asked the nanny to take the younger one to the nursery. Xiaoxiao is in her room and hasn't come out since breakfast," Lan Yu replied.
Xiao Xingxing immediately went to knock on Xiaoxiao's door, "Xiaoxiao, are you there? It's me."
"Brother Xingxing!" Xiaoxiao opened the door with great surprise and let Xiao Xingxing into her room.
Susu couldn't manage Xiao Xingxing wanting to play with Xiaoxiao now. She pulled Lan Yu aside and said in a low voice, "The blond man outside and Xiaoxiao's eyes are really alike. He might really be Xiaoxiao's biological father."
Lan Yu subconsciously said, "It would be good if her biological father found her, she could go and live with her biological father."
Susu glanced at Lan Yu and asked, "Don't you like Xiaoxiao?"
"No, no. It's just that I can't manage her well. An Jing pities her background and can't bear to say a harsh word to her. This can't go on. It would be better if her biological father raised her."
But Susu thought that even if the person outside was indeed Xiaoxiao's biological father, An Jing might not be willing to give her up.
She had an idea and said, "Why don't we go out and exchange contact information with that person first, and arrange a time to meet at the DNA testing center? That way, An Jing can also be present. After the DNA results are out, we can decide who will raise Xiaoxiao."
"That's fine, but will that person agree if you go out and say that?"
"He will agree, otherwise it's not a solution for him to stand outside someone else's door all the time," Susu said with confidence.
Lan Yu said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Susu went out and told the blond man, and they also exchanged contact information.
She then learned that the blond man's name was Alva, and it was all recorded on her phone.
After the two foreign men left the main entrance of An Jing's house, Susu went in again.
Seeing Xiao Xingxing in Xiaoxiao's room, with the two children reading and talking and laughing together, she didn't insist on taking Xiao Xingxing away. Instead, she went to the kitchen with Lan Yu, chatting while exchanging cooking experiences.
She thought that she had missed her psychological therapy session this week and couldn't see the psychologist today, so she stayed at An Jing's house for a while longer and let Xiao Lin drive back first.
After they had lunch together, An Jing called Lan Yu back and learned that Xiaoxiao's biological father had appeared, and said he would be back immediately.
Seeing that they had communicated by phone and An Jing was coming back, Susu said goodbye to Lan Yu, "Xiao Xingxing and I should also leave. When An Jing returns, you can discuss this matter properly."
"Susu, don't go. Wait for An Jing to come back with me. You've interacted with that foreigner, you talk to him, I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly." Lan Yu didn't want her to leave.
Susu hesitated for a moment, understanding her difficulty, and agreed. She let Xiao Xingxing and Xiaoxiao go to the room to play again.
She saw that Lan Yu hoped Xiaoxiao would be taken back by her biological father, but she probably couldn't express it in front of An Jing.
She was tidying up the dining table with Lan Yu when her phone rang. It was Tian Yi calling.
"I was in a meeting just now, did you need me for something?"
Susu said, "It's nothing. This morning someone came to An Jing's house looking for Xiaoxiao, saying he was Xiaoxiao's biological father. Lan Yu couldn't handle it, so I came to help. An Jing is already on his way back."
"Oh, oh." Tian Yi immediately understood why An Jing had been in such a hurry to go out earlier, so this was what happened. "Where are you? Who was it that came to find Xiaoxiao?"
"I'm still at An Jing's house. That person's appearance is quite similar to Xiaoxiao's. I can't confirm it yet, but I've got his contact information. We'll see if An Jing is willing to let Xiaoxiao do a paternity test with him?"
"I understand. We'll talk about it when I get home tonight. If there's nothing else, you should go back early, don't disturb them." Tian Yi hung up after speaking.
Susu felt a little uncomfortable hearing that. Tian Yi clearly didn't like her getting involved in Xiaoxiao's affairs.
But Lan Yu asked her for help, so how could she stand by and do nothing?
Not long after, An Jing rushed back and asked as soon as he entered, "Where is Xiaoxiao?"
Lan Yu took his briefcase and said, "She's in the room with Xiao Xingxing. Speak softly, she probably doesn't know what happened yet."
An Jing changed his shoes and walked in. Only then did he see Susu was also there, and he greeted her.
Susu stood up and smiled at him, saying, "Lan Yu was afraid that person was a骗子 (piànzi - swindler/liar) and didn't dare to open the door for him. When she couldn't contact you, she contacted me."
"Thank you. I was in a meeting just now, so I turned off my phone." An Jing lowered his voice. Hearing the laughter of the two children from Xiaoxiao's room, he finally felt relieved.
Lan Yu gestured for him to go to the study, and Susu also followed them to the study.
"When this person came, I didn't dare to open the door. Susu negotiated with him. Let Susu tell you about it," Lan Yu said to him.
Susu looked at him and recounted the whole incident, also giving An Jing the contact information of the man named Alva and sharing her opinion.
She felt that this man was probably not a骗子 (piànzi - swindler/liar), but genuinely wanted to confirm if Xiaoxiao was his biological daughter.
