Chapter 356 The Mystery of Shen Qianxun's Life
Xi Muxuan's gaze instantly froze on the boy's face.
He was a little boy about five or six years old, wearing a well-tailored suit, with fair skin and delicate features.
Normally, most children of this age would be childish, but this boy had a calmness beyond his years, especially when he looked up at the woman, his clear big eyes...
Xi Muxuan's heart suddenly shrank!
The shape of those eyes, the slightly upturned corners of the eyes, and the familiar aura between the eyebrows...
It looked exactly like him! It looked exactly like the photo of the Xuanyuan family elders that she had seen on the wall of the main hall when she last visited Xuanyuan Pavilion. It was of a certain ancestor who had passed away young!
Xuanyuan Pavilion is one of the oldest and most mysterious families in City A. It acts in a low-key manner, but secretly controls huge resources.
The Xi family had business dealings with the Xuanyuan family. Xi Muxuan had the honor of visiting the Xuanyuan family once and was deeply impressed by the solemn and dignified group photo on the wall.
One of them is said to be an elder of the Xuanyuan family who died early. The outline of his eyes is almost exactly the same as that of the boy in front of him!
How is this possible?
The Xuanyuan family has always had a small population and places great emphasis on bloodline. How could they have a child who was stranded outside?
Moreover, looking at the child's dress, although it is exquisite, it is definitely not the style of a top wealthy family. The woman around him is just gentle and does not seem to come from a wealthy family.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Lin Wei noticed Xi Muxuan's expression change slightly, and curiously followed her gaze. She only saw an ordinary woman and child. "Is there something wrong?"
"It's okay." Xi Muxuan quickly calmed down and returned to her usual indifferent tone. "I just thought the child looked a little peculiar."
She withdrew her gaze and continued walking forward, but a seed of doubt was planted in her heart.
Xuanyuan family...that child...
"Lin Wei," Xi Muxuan continued walking, but her voice became a little colder. "Go check on the woman and child. What's the woman's name, what's the child's name, and what's their background? The more details the better."
"Yes, Miss." Lin Wei didn't dare to ask more questions and immediately took out her cell phone to start making arrangements.
Xi Muxuan walked into the brand counter and let the salesgirl enthusiastically introduce the new styles, but her mind was not on the clothes at all.
She leaned back on the sofa, tapping the armrest with her fingertips, and replaying the scene she had just seen in her mind.
That woman...she remembered seeing her somewhere.
That’s right! It’s someone close to Chen Hanxing! It seems to be called Han Lingcui, Chen Hanxing’s colleague, and also a relatively good designer.
Why did Han Lingcui appear here with a child?
If this child is related to the Xuanyuan family, and Han Lingcui is Chen Hanxing's person... then this child...
A bold guess formed in Xi Muxuan's mind, but she quickly shook her head. Impossible, Xuanyuan Ge had a girlfriend in his early years.
But everyone in the circle knew that the woman had already been married to Xuanyuan Ge's mother.
There is no possibility of such consequences.
"Miss, what do you think of this one?" The salesgirl asked with a smile, holding a sapphire blue dress.
Xi Muxuan glanced at it casually and said lightly: "It's okay, wrap it up."
She had no mind to choose clothes now, her mind was full of that boy.
If this child is really related to the Xuanyuan family, and Shen Hanxing is involved, then behind this... I'm afraid there is a huge secret hidden.
Especially on this special day, she didn't attend the engagement party, but instead ran into such an "interesting" thing. Maybe... it was an opportunity given to her by God?
An opportunity for her to understand Shen Hanxing better, and even... influence the relationship between Qi Moxun and Shen Hanxing?
Xi Muxuan's eyes gradually became deeper, and a meaningful sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
…
After leaving the mall, Xi Muxuan immediately returned to the Xi Group headquarters.
Instead of going to her own CEO's office, she went directly to the safe house on the top floor.
A secret space known only to her and a few close confidants, equipped with state-of-the-art communication and investigation equipment.
"Miss, I found it."
Lin Wei's phone rang quickly, her voice a little cautious, "That woman is indeed Han Lingcui, a designer for the Qi Group. She's won many awards before. As for that boy..."
Lin Wei paused, seeming a little hesitant: “The information shows that his name is Shen Qianxun, he is six years old, and he is Shen Hanxing’s adopted son.”
"Adopted son?" Xi Muxuan raised her eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She knew before that Shen Hanxing had adopted a child.
But she wasn't interested in such things.
Of course, I won’t see the child in person.
Even if I see it occasionally, I don’t really care.
If I wasn't in a bad mood today, I would want to take a closer look at everything.
This bug will not be discovered!
Lin Wei continued to report, “There is very little information about Shen Qianxun’s life experience. It only says that he was adopted by Shen Hanxing after his mother died. But…”
"But what?" Xi Muxuan asked.
“But I found out through some special channels that Shen Qianxun’s birth certificate information had traces of tampering, and the original record was deliberately erased.”
Xi Muxuan found a previous photo of Xuanyuan Pavilion’s girlfriend.
This has nothing in common with Han Lingcui today.
And Xuanyuan Ge is a person with mysophobia.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few women in these years.
However, Xi Muxuan still made a bold inference: Shen Qianxun's life experience is definitely related to the Xuanyuan family!
This woman, Shen Hanxing.
It looks above board.
But in reality, his methods have always been sinister and cruel.
Otherwise, how could I win Qi Moxun's heart?
So in her opinion, Shen Hanxing would not play unprepared cards.
If this child has no background.
Shen Hanxing will not adopt it easily.
She walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the night view of the city below, her mind racing.
The Xuanyuan family has complex internal relationships, with numerous conflicts between the side branches and the main family. In order to compete for resources and inheritance rights, they have always used ruthless means.
If this Shen Qianxun is really the child of a member of the Xuanyuan family, but was sent out to be adopted by Shen Hanxing, there must be an unspeakable secret behind it.
Is it because the identity of the child's parents is sensitive? Or is it because the child's existence itself will threaten certain people within the Xuanyuan family?
Or maybe...
Shen Hanxing himself has an unknown connection with someone in the Xuanyuan family...
"Chen Qianxun..." Xi Muxuan whispered the name, "Qianxun... I've been searching for him everywhere... Chen Hanxing, what are you hiding?"
She thought of Shen Hanxing's performance at the engagement party. Facing Fu Jingheng's pressure, she was calm, resolute, and even a little cold and distant.
A woman like that may seem weak, but she is actually incredibly strong inside.
She must have had her reasons for adopting the child and keeping his background so secret.
And will this reason become the key point to pry open the relationship between Shen Hanxing and Qi Moxun?
Although Qi Moxun acts decisively, he has his principles and bottom line in love.
What would he think if he knew that his fiancée had an adopted son with a mysterious background and a connection to the mysterious Xuanyuan family?
“Lin Wei,” Xi Muxuan picked up the phone, her voice cold and decisive, “Continue to investigate, find out for me who Shen Qianxun’s biological parents are, at any cost, I want to know the whole truth.”
"Yes, Miss!"
After hanging up the phone, Xi Muxuan walked over to the wine cabinet and poured herself a glass of whiskey. The amber liquid swayed gently in the crystal glass, reflecting the glint in her eyes.
