Chapter 40 My biological mother came back with my sister
As soon as Shen Zhiyi returned home, he saw his father Shen Anxing walking around in the yard, looking uneasy.
"Dad, what do you want to tell me?"
Shen Anxing pulled him into the living room and asked without saying anything serious, "Has your brother finished his meal?"
“Uh…” Shen Zhiyi looked away guiltily, without answering, and asked: “Is there something wrong at home?”
Shen Anxing's emotions were pulled back. After a long silence, he said with a strange expression: "I wanted to tell you about this a long time ago, but I was always worried that you would be angry, so I put it off until now."
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Shen Zhiyi suppressed his other messy thoughts and asked, "What is it?"
Shen Anxing rubbed his hands together, looking very conflicted. He changed his words again and again before stumbling over them: "Your biological mother is back."
Bang!
My heart felt like it was being hit by something. Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a few seconds, and the emotions in his eyes went through a period of passion and then returned to calm, "Oh."
She has no memory of her biological mother at all.
Shen Zhixian never mentioned this person, and seemed to dislike her very much.
At that time, she thought that a person who could make her own son hate her must not be a competent mother, so she gave up all her expectations.
"Your mother and sister have been living overseas, but recently they came back to live because of your sister's work. When they heard you were back, they wanted to see you."
"I have a sister?" She was surprised. No one had ever mentioned this to her.
Shen Anxing: "Your sister and your brother are fraternal twins, the same age. After I divorced your mother, she took your sister away."
"Why does my brother hate you?" she asked directly.
The same topic has been asked many times.
This time, Shen Anxing sighed and said, "Because he feels that we ruined his childhood and that we are unfit to be parents. Your brother is a person who attaches great importance to family values and is unwilling to accept the fact that our relationship has broken down, so he keeps blaming us."
Shen Zhiyi always felt that it was not that simple.
She quickly thought of her own experience.
"Dad, I've actually been confused. You all said I was abducted by human traffickers, but if that's true, why would I be at the gate of the Taoist temple?"
Children who are usually abducted are either sold to buyers or used by people with ulterior motives to make money.
Which human trafficker would leave a child at the entrance of a Taoist temple?
Shen Anxing's eyes flickered, "It was your mother who took care of you at that time, I..."
Before he could finish his words, the housekeeper came to report.
"Sir, they are here."
Shen Anxing stood up and looked at Shen Zhiyi nervously: "Zhiyi."
In contrast, Shen Zhiyi was very calm.
Before I saw anyone, I heard a female voice sighing, "This place is almost the same as when I left. It hasn't changed much."
"Wanjun, look, the mango tree over there is the one you planted when you were a child. It has grown so tall now."
"Isn't it?"
Hearing the voice of "Wanjun", Shen Zhiyi's calm eyes rippled.
The voice was a little rough and neutral, and it immediately reminded her of Wendy's charming face.
Just then the two men walked in, confirming her guess.
The mother and daughter in front of her were also stunned when they saw her.
The older woman stared at Shen Zhiyi in great surprise, as if she had seen something extraordinary.
After being stunned for a moment, Wanjun burst out laughing: "No way, you..."
Mother Murong Xu tugged at her arm and gave her a look.
Shen Wanjun suppressed her resentment and stared at Shen Zhiyi with a bit of displeasure.
Shen Anxing stood between the two sides and introduced them.
Shen Zhiyi stared at this "mother" without much feeling in his heart.
Even when she came over, held her hand kindly and asked about her well-being, there was no warmth and touching feeling like the reunion of relatives.
On the contrary, I feel disgusted.
She pulled her hand out calmly and nodded at her: "Hello."
Murong Xu awkwardly withdrew his hands, turned around and handed the gift to Shen Zhiyi: "These are all gifts specially selected by your sister and I. Knowing that you are still in college, we chose a more lively style."
The gift was a skirt, bright yellow, very bright, a bit like a gift chosen for a child.
Shen Zhiyi still had a warm and calm expression as she took it and thanked him.
Shen Anxing invited them to the restaurant, planning to have a meal together.
Shen Zhiyi touched his stomach and said, “I just ate, so I won’t eat anymore. You guys eat slowly.”
Shen Wanjun forced a smile: "That's perfect. I haven't been back for many years and I'm not familiar with my home. I'll have to trouble my sister to take me around."
Shen Anxing nodded: "Yes, you two sisters go and have a good talk."
The two walked into the small courtyard outside the corridor.
Shen Wanjun was wearing a black dress made of fragrant grandmothers and ten-centimeter high heels, walking between the mango trees.
He brushed his fingers against the rough leaves and said contemptuously, "Have you and Dad done a DNA test?"
Shen Zhiyi didn't go down the stairs. He stood casually by the pillar with his hands in his pockets, very lazy. "Why, do you suspect that I'm not your biological child?"
"You've been wandering around for so many years, it's possible that you made mistakes. It's not a bad thing to be cautious."
“Whether it’s right or wrong, I’m the daughter of the Shen family now, and no one can drive me away.” Shen Zhiyi raised an eyebrow.
Shen Wanjun's expression suddenly turned gloomy.
She seemed to be standing on a mountain, looking down on everything. "I don't care whether it's verified or not, but Xiao Lanting, let me tell you clearly, he's mine. Stop using those seductive tricks to seduce him. It's useless."
Shen Zhiyi couldn't stand her sarcastic sarcasm. After a cold smile, he asked, "Your man? Hiss, did he say this after drinking the drugged wine?"
In that instant, she remembered something.
First, Fan Xiaoqing said that there was a woman chasing Xiao Lanting named Wendy, who was Shen Wanjun in front of him.
Then on the night of the car accident, Shen Wanjun apologized to Xiao Lanting profusely, and it seemed to be related to alcohol.
Hearing this, Shen Wanjun paused, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes, and she said: "You don't need to ask about the matter between me and Xiao Lanting. You just need to know that your current behavior is very inappropriate. He is not someone you can covet."
"boring."
Shen Zhiyi sighed sincerely and turned away.
When she came to the front hall window, she wanted to say hello to the two people inside and go back to the rental house, but she heard her own name.
Murong Xu: "Wanjun has been with me since she was a child. Now she is finally willing to come back to develop her career. As her father, you should consider her."
"You were the one who forcibly took the child away back then, and now you want to send her back. So you have the final say on everything?"
"That was before. Anyway, I've decided to settle down in Nandu. Zhixian is smart enough to start her own company, so the company probably won't want her. Wanjun needs your support, so you can register the company under her name."
Shen Anxing seemed furious: “What about Zhiyi!”
Murong Xu's tense expression relaxed, as if she also realized something was wrong, and then she said, "Zhiyi is still young, so of course we have to focus on Wanjun first. When Wanjun's career becomes bigger in the future, she will not give less to Zhiyi."
"Murong Xu, I can't believe that after all these years, you're still so biased!"
