Has Pingping disappeared?

A look of seriousness flashed across Xu Yichen's face. Before he could think further, Song Qi grabbed his wrist tightly again.

To appease him, he could only pat his hand and agree.

"Okay, I'll help you find it."

After receiving his promise, Song Qi finally let go of his hand, but still struggled to sit up.

Sensing that the nurse was about to speak again, Song Yifei quickly said, "Yichen promised to help you find one, so why don't you just rest in bed and recover first?"

"I won't go anywhere. I promise I'll tell you first when I find Pingping, okay?"

Hearing this, Song Qi's emotions gradually calmed down, and he obediently lay on the bed while the nurse checked the hand from which the injection had been given.

After securing it with tape, the nurse breathed a sigh of relief and stood up: "Luckily, the patient's blood vessels are elastic and didn't rupture. We can't keep doing this, or they'll definitely rupture."

After seeing the nurse off, Xu Yichen sent a message to his assistant asking him to help find Su Ping, and then looked at Song Yifei, who was sitting by the bed with a worried expression.

After thinking about it, I decided to pretend I didn't know anything about it.

After all, in Yifei's heart, Song Qi was the only family she had left in the world.

If she finds out that the two are not related by blood, there is a high chance she won't be able to accept it.

Moreover, the two of them have been living together as siblings for over twenty years, and it would be too cruel for me to break that balance.

Xu Yichen sighed and looked at the bed again.

Because of the fever, Song Qi's face was sickly pale. At this moment, he looked like a completely different person, with empty eyes that were devoid of any light.

Right now, the only thing that can cause him to have emotional fluctuations is probably Pingping, right?

...

There was a traffic accident on the highway to Shenzhai, and it took several hours to resolve the traffic jam.

By the time they arrived at the Shen residence, it was already dark.

The assistant parked the car and was about to get out to open the car door for Su Ping when he saw Shen Jiayu shake his head at him.

What does this mean?

The assistant pointed to himself, then to what was behind him.

Sure enough, Shen Jiayu nodded, indicating that he was to turn around and leave.

The assistant understood and quickly turned to attend to his own business.

Shen Jiayu looked at Su Ping, who had fallen asleep again beside him, smiled and shook his head, then opened his own car door and got out.

After walking over to Su Ping, I glanced at her and found that she looked serene and had not been woken up.

She seemed to be sleeping most of the time in the car. Was she that tired?

Shen Jiayu was a little surprised, but he didn't think much of it and bent down to lift her out of the car.

Upon hearing the servants' report that Shen Jiayu had returned, the Shen family members all went to the gate.

He then emerged from the car carrying a woman, his steps very soft, as if afraid of waking her.

The short, thin man standing next to the woman leered at the woman being held in Shen Jiayu's arms, unable to hide his curiosity and jealousy.

Even from a distance, you can tell that she has a great figure.

Immediately, he tugged at the arm of the woman next to him.

"Auntie, why did my cousin bring a woman back with him?"

He had planned that once Shen Jiayu returned, he would use the excuse that Shen Jiayu was unmarried and that the company was so big to get him a job. Who knew that he would bring a woman back with him!

When Li Xiuyun, Shen Jiayu's mother, saw the woman in Shen Jiayu's arms, her brows furrowed tightly.

Now that his son is wealthy and powerful, who knows if that woman approached him with ulterior motives?

Women these days are very shrewd. Relying on their youth and beauty, they engage in all sorts of schemes to climb into someone's bed and get ahead.

Shen Jiayu saw a few people standing under the eaves. It had just rained, so he couldn't see their expressions clearly, but he guessed they weren't in good shape.

As several people watched him carrying the person towards them, the short, thin man finally couldn't help but speak up.

He looked at Shen Jiayu, who was carefully protecting the woman in his arms and was about to step up the stairs, and asked, "Brother Yu, why are you so late? Your parents have been waiting for you all afternoon."

His words sounded like he was concerned about Shen Jiayu, but Li Xiuyun had already lost her patience after waiting for so long. Seeing that her son only had eyes for the woman in his arms, she became even more furious.

Shen Jiayu looked at Shen Jing and smiled, but Shen Jing dared not meet his gaze and lowered his head.

He only spent a few years in prison, so how come Shen Jiayu's aura has become so powerful after he came out?

Shen Jiayu could see through his little schemes clearly. He might have been annoyed by him in the past, but now he didn't have the time to deal with him.

He glanced at Su Ping, whose brows were slightly furrowed, in his arms, and then gave Shen Jing a warning look.

"What are you doing at my house? Anyone who didn't know better would think the Shen family has another son."

Something she said touched a nerve with Li Xiuyun, and she rebuked her, "What are you saying? A-Jing knew you were coming back today, so he bought things early and came over to keep us company while we waited for you."

"You've always ostracized and disliked him since he was little. He's your younger brother, how can you act like such a big brother?"

Brother?

Shen Jiayu looked at Shen Jing, who had his head bowed, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

Speaking of this, when he was a child, Shen Jing often took advantage of his status as the younger brother to bully others in their family. However, he was glib and always managed to shift all the blame onto him.
