“Did you find this couple?” After leaving the Shen family house, Fu Hengyi asked Shen Qinglan in a low voice, with a gentle tone, without any intention of interrogating.
Shen Qinglan raised her eyes to look at him, and said lightly, “You think too much.”
Fu Hengyi smiled and didn’t ask further questions. If she said it’s not, then it’s not.
A glint flashed across Shen Qinglan’s eyes, Shen Xitong, this is the first gift I gave you, I hope you like it.
Shen Junyu booked a five-star double bedroom for the Li family couple, but the decoration inside still blinded the couple.
After Shen Junyu left, Tian Cuifang looked at the room, and went to the bathroom on purpose, “Li Datou, come here quickly, this bathroom is bigger than the house we used to live in, and there is a big mirror inside. There is also a big bathtub, the kind you can lie in and take a bath in.”
Tian Cuifang was very excited. While looking at it, she reached out to touch the toiletries on the sink, and even picked up the bathrobe hanging on the side to make gestures on her body.
She had never lived in such a nice place.
“That person really didn’t lie to us. This family is very rich.” Li Datou was smoking. He had a heavy cigarette addiction. He didn’t dare to smoke when he was in Shen family house. Now that he left Shen family house, he couldn’t help it, but the cigarettes he smoked were not of a good quality, and the smell was very pungent.
Tian Cuifang had long been used to it, and she didn’t feel anything at all. When she came out of the bathroom, she still couldn’t hide the smile on her face, “That’s right, look at the house they live in, it’s so big, it’s bigger than the village chief’s house in our village.”
“The house is big, and the things in it are beautifully arranged, and our daughter is so beautiful now.”
She was excited, and suddenly frowned, “It’s just that the child doesn’t seem to want to recognize us, can we still be successful?”
Li Datou breathed out puff of smoke rings, heard this, and frowned, “Does she deny it, we will do some kind of paternity test with her tomorrow, and she will not be able to deny it even if she wants to, so what if we thew her away, we are still her parents, if she dares to deny us, I will sue her and send her to jail.”
Tian Cuifang was not at ease when she heard the words, “I don’t think that family is easy to mess with. Look at the place where they live, there are soldiers guarding the door, I see those people still have guns in their hands, if they don’t let us recognize her, we won’t be able to do anything.”
“Probably not, Sanya is our daughter, and this family is not unreasonable, they will not embarrass us, and you see, they booked such a good hotel for us today.”
When Tian Cuifang heard what her husband said, she thought it made sense when she thought about it, and nodded in agreement, “Hubby, you are still smart. If we recognize our daughter this time, our son will have the money to marry a wife. At that time, we will also find a beautiful wife for our son. Maybe, we can also live in a big house and have servants to take care of us.”
Li Datou also smiled, but his face was full of wrinkles, probably due to years of hard work, and his back was a little bent, “We won’t go back then, let Sanya buy us a house here, and let our son come over too, then we’ll also be natives of the capital.”
Tian Cuifang smiled from ear to ear, “Then we’ll take over Da Ya and Er Ya and live together as a family.”
“Bring those two money-losers over here. What are you doing, it’s a money losing proposition.” Li Datou suddenly lost his temper.
Tian Cuifang didn’t dare to say it immediately, “Well, hubby, I’ll go in and take a bath first.”
The couple here were thinking beautifully, while Shen Xitong almost cried to death over there.
She was lying on the bed, crying very sadly, Chu Yunrong sat on the side to comfort her, “Tongtong, stop crying, if you keep crying, do you still want your eyes?”
Shen Xitong cried even more sadly when she heard this “Mom, do you think grandpa doesn’t want me anymore, that’s why he asked me to do a paternity test with them?”
“No, your grandpa won’t not want you, it’s just a paternity test. If the result comes out, that they are no your biological parents, so we can reason, right?” Chu Yunrong comforted her.
“Then what if it turns out they are? Mom, are you going to let me go with them?”
“Silly girl, although you are not my own, you were also raised by me. How could I be willing to let you go with them ?”
Shen Xitong hugged Chu Yunrong’s waist and buried her head in her arms, “Mom, I haven’t had a mother since I was sensible. I grew up in an orphanage. They didn’t want me before, but now they want me. If they didn’t want to recognize me then, why should I recognize them now?”
Shen Xitong’s words were full of resentment towards Li Datou and his wife, Chu Yunrong’s heart trembled.
Chu Yunrong couldn’t answer these words, and thought she was not a good mother either. She lost her daughter for ten years, and even when she found her later, Shen Qinglan was not close to her. Was it that Shen Qinglan also resented her mother in her heart?
She once heard from her husband that Shen Qinglan was once adopted by a couple, but later the couple had their own child and left Shen Qinglan at the gate of the orphanage. Shen Qinglan grew up in that orphanage.
As for Shen Xitong, although she was abandoned by her biological parents, since she was adopted by the Shen family, at least she had no worries about food and clothing, and they had never treated her badly.
Thinking about it this way, Chu Yunrong’s guilt towards Shen Qinglan became deeper and deeper, and even her thoughts of comforting Shen Xitong became a little less.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this matter for now, we will talk about it after the paternity test results come out.” Chu Yunrong patted Shen Xitong on the shoulder and said.
Shen Xitong was startled suddenly, thinking that Chu Yunrong was disgusted by the words that she didn’t want to recognize her biological parents, she raised her head, her eyes flustered, “Mom, it’s not that I don’t want to recognize them, it’s just that they abandoned me at the beginning, and now they turn back and came to me, I can’t accept it for a while.”
Chu Yunrong smiled, “Mom knows, you were raised by me, how can mom not understand you? You are a kind-hearted child, mom knows. Don’t think about it, sleep well, and you’ll be fine when you wake up.”
After Chu Yunrong left, Shen Xitong took out a tissue to wipe the tears on his face, there was no trace of sadness on her face, it was just cold. Thinking of Li Datou and his wife, Shen Xitong’s eyes flashed with disgust.
In fact, even without the identification, Shen Xitong knew that Li Datou and his wife were her biological parents. If she didn’t recognize them at first, then when they took out the photo later, she remembered everything.
Although the memory of that year when she was only five years old was vague, but Shen Xitong still remembered what kind of environment she used to live in, a shabby hut, a lazy father, with very bad temper, who liked smoking, drinking, gambling, if drunk or if he lost a bet, he would beat them; her mother who could only swallow her anger never dared to resist when she was beaten, and she didn’t dare to come out to dissuade him when she saw her husband beating her children. Knowing that she couldn’t support herself, she was just desperately trying to give birth to a son.
Because she couldn’t support three children, and because she was pregnant with a ball that might be a son, she threw her youngest daughter at the gate of the orphanage. She didn’t even leave her with a thicker dress. If someone hadn’t found her in time, she would have died at the age of five.
She finally had her current life, her parents who loved her dearly, and a bright future, but what about that couple? If she got entangled with them, her life would be over.
Originally, because of Shen Qinglan, Mr. Shen already didn’t like her very much. If she recognized that couple now, wouldn’t there be a fair reason for her to leave the Shen family?
This was a result she absolutely did not want to see. She would never let them ruin her life.
Her pupils were dark and her emotions couldn’t be seen clearly.
When Shen Junyu came back, he ran into Shen Qian at the door. It seemed that he was here specially waiting for him, “Dad?”
“Those people?”
Shen Qian told him this time, “They said they were Xitong’s biological parents, but they suddenly came to the door today, wanting to recognize Xitong and take Xitong away.”
Shen Junyu said, “That’s their daughter, it’s only natural for people to want to take her back, but what are you worried about, Dad?”
Shen Qian frowned, “I was just thinking, this couple hasn’t looked for Xitong for more than ten years, why did they suddenly want to find their daughter back now, and also how did they find our home so accurately.”
“Didn’t you just say that you will go for a paternity test tomorrow, are you still not sure, what are you doubting them now for?” Shen Junyu’s eyes were cold.
“I just think it’s all too much of a coincidence.”
“It’s no coincidence, you didn’t say it just now, they have been looking for their daughter for many years, but now they finally found her, how can it be considered a sudden happening, I can only say that they are lucky, that they can still find their daughter, just like our family spent so much money back then and took a lot of effort to find Lanlan.” Shen Junyu’s tone was full of sarcasm, even his eyes were sneering.
This father was good at everything, but he was too suspicious and took the Shen family too seriously. He was like that to Lanlan back then, and he was like that now.
It’s just that it was Shen Xitong this time, so it didn’t matter much to Shen Junyu.
“Junyu is right, Shen Qian, you think too much.” Old Master Shen’s voice sounded from behind, and Shen Qian and Shen Junyu looked over.
“Dad.”
“Grandpa.”
“Dad, I really think there are too many coincidences in this matter. Could it be that someone is deliberately targeting the Shen family?”
Mr. Shen had a solemn face, “It doesn’t matter whether it’s a coincidence or not, all we have to do now is wait. If you’re worried, take them for a paternity test tomorrow. If the test results come out, and they are really Xitong’s biological parents, so if they want to recognize their daughter, we have no right to stop it, do you understand that?”
Shen Qian nodded, but he didn’t actually think about stopping it, he just thought it was too coincidental, maybe he really was thinking too much.
Shen Qian looked at his son’s expression of disapproval, and sighed slightly in his heart.
