Chapter 418 - 419: Experiencing the World as a Couple
Shen Yucheng hurriedly arrived at the Hilton Hotel and went straight to the banquet hall.
Shen Ruozhuo was about to leave; she had held on for too long and could not endure any longer, wanting just to quickly leave this place of strife.
But just as she was about to leave, she saw her father, Shen Yucheng, arriving. She thought her father was definitely here to seek justice for her.
She wanted to go over and greet Shen Yucheng, but unexpectedly, he didn’t even glance at her, directly walking towards Qin Mobai.
Regarding Shen Yucheng’s arrival, Qin Mobai frowned slightly. A perfectly good wedding, perhaps in the end, would be disrupted by the Shen Family.
Yet Qin Mobai maintained a faint smile on his face.
"Qin Mobai, I have something I want to discuss with you alone." Shen Yucheng looked travel-worn and, upon arrival, skipped any pleasantries and expressed a desire to talk privately.
The relatives who were originally standing beside Qin Mobai, upon seeing this scene, quickly claimed they had other matters and walked away.
"Let’s talk in the lounge." Qin Mobai said, as some things couldn’t be discussed openly, it was better to talk in a room.
As Shen Yucheng followed Qin Mobai towards the lounge, he happened to see Lou Xi appear. She was still wearing the same Qipao from earlier, classic and elegant, standing there, standing apart from the world.
Shen Yucheng thought he was seeing things, as from Lou Xi, he seemed to see the shadow of Shen Youran.
...
In the lounge, Shen Yucheng handed Shen Youran’s photo to Qin Mobai.
Qin Mobai had one hand in his suit pants pocket and only glanced at the person in the photo. She bore a seventy percent resemblance to Lou Xi; at first glance, he even thought it was a photo Lou Xi took in a studio!
But Qin Mobai thought Shen Yucheng wanted to talk about matters concerning him and Shen Ruozhuo, but now it seemed, Shen Yucheng wanted to talk about Lou Xi.
"This is my sister, Shen Youran." Shen Yucheng spoke frankly to Qin Mobai, "Your newlywed wife resembles my sister by seventy to eighty percent."
"So." Qin Mobai took the photo from Shen Yucheng’s hand, his brows lightly furrowed.
He knew Lou Xi was left at the Lou Family’s doorstep back then, if Shen Yucheng brought out a photo now and said Shen Youran was Lou Xi’s mother.
It meant Lou Xi was a member of the Shen Family.
But Shen Youran was expelled from the Shen Family years ago, severing relations as her actions disgraced the family.
Over the years, there have been no rumors about Shen Youran in Nancheng. If not for Shen Yucheng bringing it up now, even Qin Mobai might not recall someone named Shen Youran.
"Your newlywed wife might be my sister’s daughter. If possible, I hope to conduct a DNA test for her." Shen Yucheng’s tone carried immense insistence.
But his insistence was not enough.
"Shen Youran was expelled from the Shen Family years ago. Even if Lou Xi is Shen Youran’s daughter, she has nothing to do with your Shen Family. If Mr. Shen tries to disrupt Lou Xi’s life because of this, I will do everything to stop it." Qin Mobai said coldly.
Shen Yucheng knew he would face Qin Mobai’s obstruction, he said, "Do you think you alone can protect Lou Xi entirely? Without strong maternal support, in your Qin Family, she will be consumed leaving nothing!"
Qin Mobai understood the reasoning but...
"This is not something for Mr. Shen to worry about, I will ensure Lou Xi has a peaceful life."
...
Qin Mobai and Shen Yucheng’s conversation was brief and to the point.
After he came out of the lounge, he went straight to Lou Xi’s side, tightly clutching her hand.
"Young Master Qin, what’s the matter?"
"I was thinking, shouldn’t we leave and enjoy a world for just the two of us?"
