Shen Yijin dialed the phone number in her father's office. "Hello, Dad, it's me."
“Boss, quite a few children from the compound have been sent to the countryside. Do you remember the Ye family? Their precious son has gone to the countryside.”
"The Ye family went to visit their child because they felt sorry for her. They saw a little girl in the countryside who looked a lot like your grandmother. Unfortunately, that girl got a quota to return to the city and returned to the city in the last couple of days."
“The Ye family told your grandfather about this as soon as they returned to Beijing today. I suspect the little girl is your uncle’s child.”
"The Ye family helped look up the girl's information in the village. Her hometown is in the city on your island."
The youngest son of the Shen family went missing in Beijing. He has been missing for decades and has been searched for for decades without any news. If he has really drifted to an island, it is indeed difficult to find him due to the long distance and mountains.
"Dad, give me the address, I'll go find Uncle right away."
"Wait a minute, your grandparents took a private plane to the island. It took off four hours ago and will be at your camp soon."
So that's how it is.
"Okay, I'll get the car ready right away and take Grandpa and Grandma into the city when they arrive."
"By the way, Dad, Uncle's name is Shen Jinzhou, right? I wonder if he changed his name? Have you found any information about that girl's family?"
Shen Jinzhou?
This name sounds familiar.
"Nannan, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, haven't we heard this name before?"
"Money, money."
Hehe. (Sister Dafang.)
Oh, so he's Sister Chen's father.
"Shen Bingshan, I know where Sister Shen is."
Shishi rushed in, followed closely by the three chickens carrying the baby.
The reporter was stunned to see three chickens help the baby climb onto the bench, then work together to push the stroller inside, before hopping up on top and sitting side-by-side with the baby.
This chicken is truly amazing; it's incredibly clever, unlike any ordinary animal.
No wonder he's my sister-in-law's playmate.
The microphone was loud enough for Mr. Shen to hear as well. He asked in confusion, "What Shen Bingshan? What Sister Shen?"
Shen Yijin's usually icy face showed a rare expression. "Ahem, Dad, Shen Bingshan is a nickname my sister-in-law in the camp gave me."
The father imagined his son's perpetually expressionless face, and it was quite fitting.
Just as he was about to give the address, Shishi snatched the microphone from Shen Yijin's hand.
“Dad Shen, I know Shen Jinzhou. He is Sister Shen’s father, but you are too late. He is no longer here.”
"What?"
Shishi heard the sound of a heart breaking, and she repeated it again.
“I said that Sister Shen’s father was named Shen Jinzhou, but he has passed away. Sister Shen severed ties with her mother today and is all alone.”
“Sister Shen’s father left her a lot of money. She donated 7,000 yuan to the army. She is a super good sister. I plan to introduce her to a good husband to take care of her.”
Mr. Shen's mind was buzzing; he didn't want to believe what he was hearing—perhaps it was just someone with the same name.
"Young lady, the Shen Jinzhou you know is probably not my brother. Thank you for your kindness."
"Oh, okay, I also wanted to ask if you have the Double Dragon Jade Pendant. Sister Chen's jade pendant is very beautiful."
"What? You saw the Twin Dragon Jade Pendant?" Father Shen's voice trembled.
"Little girl, what other features does that double-dragon jade pendant have?"
Without thinking, Shishi replied, "No, there's nothing there except for the character '沉' at the end."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Shen Yijin also fell silent.
The information was already clear: the Shen Jinzhou she mentioned was the youngest son of the Shen family, Shen Yijin's uncle.
There are many people with the same name, but the fact that someone with the same name also possesses the Shen family's ancestral jade pendant is the best proof of this.
The Shen family's ancestral jade pendant is a pair of dragon and phoenix pendants, originally intended for the eldest son and his wife. However, Shen's father doted on his younger brother and gave it to him when he was born.
The double phoenix jade pendant is still in Grandma Shen's hands, and Father Shen's intention is for her to pass it on to her youngest daughter-in-law.
After so many years of searching for their son, they couldn't give away the Double Phoenix Jade Pendant either. Due to the tense situation, they hid it away, and only those in the know knew about it.
The father's back was hunched, and his voice was filled with endless sorrow.
"Little girl, thank you. Boss, take good care of your grandparents. I'll take leave and fly over with your mom right away."
The elderly couple, who had searched their whole lives for their youngest son, lost him. No wonder they couldn't bear it.
Shen Yijin's eyes darkened. "Sister-in-law, can you tell me about that Comrade Shen?"
"sure."
A few minutes later, Shen Yijin's expressionless face was filled with anger.
That woman actually treated my cousin like that.
Having become a widow at a young age, it's understandable that she wants to find a man to support her family.
It's normal for her to want to show that she's good to her stepdaughter, but it's going too far to use her own daughter's life to create a good reputation for her stepmother.
They sent a 17-year-old girl to the countryside for six years. They would rather give her job to her stepdaughter than her biological daughter. When her daughter found a job, they would take it away from her, leaving her to suffer so much in the countryside.
Heh, the Shen family isn't so easy to bully.
Seeing his ever-changing expression and the veins bulging in his neck, Shishi instinctively felt amusement.
"Shen Bingshan, I know where Sister Shen is. I'll take you there."
Shen Yijin regained her composure and calmed her anger. Just as she was about to respond, she met five pairs of bright, sparkling eyes. She suddenly stepped back, bumped into the stroller, and fell down on her bottom.
Fortunately, the car is made of high-quality materials and is sturdy enough.
He hurriedly got up, but it was too late; a cool voice drifted into his ears.
"Shen Bingshan, you broke the car by sitting on it. You have to pay for two cars so my child can use them."
You have to pay a carpenter to make a stroller, so every little bit helps.
Shen Yijin was amused by the seemingly innocent act of asking for a gift, which calmed her anger considerably.
