"As you all know, it turns out that Shen Zhirou is indeed not my parents' biological child. As for who she really is, I will find out."
After finishing speaking, Shen Jingxiu rubbed his temples in frustration.
In fact, he had already spent a lot of money to have someone investigate the report as soon as it was released. But an afternoon passed, and there was still no news from the other party.
He himself was well aware that it was not easy to find out the truth about something that had happened so many years ago.
Therefore, he made a request to Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe, who were sitting opposite him.
"I want to discuss something with you."
"Okay, brother, please go ahead." Wen Yan, who was reading a paper report, quickly put the document back when she heard Shen Jingxiu's words.
Although Shen Jinghe did not speak, he also turned his gaze to Shen Jingxiu.
Shen Jingxiu then said seriously, "Before we figure out the imposter's true identity, or rather, find out the whole story, I hope we can all keep this a secret from our parents and not tell them for now. Let's not expose ourselves to the imposter too early, lest we alert him. What do you think?"
Knowing that Shen Jinghe was unwilling to talk to him, Shen Jingxiu looked directly at Wen Yan after he finished speaking, seeking her opinion.
Wen Yan immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, I wholeheartedly agree!"
In fact, that's what she's always done.
Su Yang suffered from severe depression after losing her daughter and even attempted suicide multiple times, all of which her family knew.
Shen Jinghe, of course, had no objection.
However, he was still not ready to speak to Shen Jingxiu, so he just nodded.
But that's enough; as long as we can reach an agreement.
"Then those of you who need to remove your makeup should do so, and those of you who need to change your clothes should change them."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Jinghe stood up impatiently.
But this time, Shen Jingxiu did not gentlemanly get up to open the door for them.
Wen Yan turned around and glanced at him, only to find that he was hanging his head, his slender fingers absentmindedly pinching his brow, and his whole face was filled with exhaustion.
As the eldest brother in the family, he seems to have it really tough. Now I've passed this thorny issue on to him. I was happily filming when he first found out the paternity test results, and now he can't tell his parents anything. I feel so sorry for him.
Shen Jingxiu was indeed feeling tired.
He never imagined that the daughter his parents had been searching for for so many years was actually an imposter; it was like something out of a melodramatic soap opera.
At the same time, he also felt a strange sense of grievance.
Yes, actually, he has been quite tired over the years since he returned to China and joined the company to take over its affairs.
Every day, the first thing he does when he opens his eyes is work, work, overtime, and social engagements.
But in other people's eyes, his first impression is always that of a high-and-mighty, cold CEO. What others see first is his status and privileges.
It seems that no one ever thinks that he is also an ordinary human being with physical and mental limits. In fact, he also gets tired and exhausted.
Of course, mothers are an exception.
And now, it seems there's also Wen Yan.
Shen Jingxiu was so tired that he didn't want to speak anymore, but the little bit of warmth in Wen Yan's heart made his tired blood start to move again.
He looked at Wen Yan: "What's wrong? Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Um!"
Actually, I haven't thought of what to say yet.
However, Wen Yan's body language reacted much faster than her brain. She nodded immediately as soon as Shen Jingxiu finished speaking.
Then, under Shen Jingxiu's stare for several seconds, she finally came up with an explanation.
"I wanted to remind you, brother, because we didn't mention this earlier. It's about the fake Shen Zhirou's adoptive parents. Aren't they already applying for visas to go abroad?"
"I think if we have the ability and means, we should try to stop them and make sure they don't get away smoothly. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to find them again."
Shen Jingxiu hummed in agreement: "I've already considered that point, don't worry."
Wen Yan smiled and said, "That's good. Big brother is very thoughtful. I'll head out now."
"Go ahead." Shen Jingxiu nodded slightly to Wen Yan, his tone becoming gentler without him even noticing.
During dinner, none of the three showed any unusual behavior.
Wen Yan is still Su Yang's source of joy.
When Su Yang mentioned Shen Zhirou, Wen Yan replied with a smile, without saying a single bad word about Shen Zhirou.
To make Su Yang happier, Wen Yan suggested a small dessert after the meal.
There wasn't enough time to have the kitchen make it fresh, so Wen Yan called a delivery person to buy it from her usual shop.
Su Yang especially loved the taste of that restaurant; it was a flavor she couldn't replicate in her own kitchen.
Hearing that the two ladies had small cakes to eat, Shen Jinghe, who had already gone upstairs to go back to his room, suddenly felt a little hungry.
So, someone took out their phone and sent a message to Wen Yan.
'Don't forget who drove you home tonight. Aren't you going to do anything about it?'
"So, second brother, you want some dessert too?"
"I don't really want to eat it, but I have an opportunity in front of you, and I want to see if you're willing to put on a show."
"…………" Wen Yan was speechless for a moment.
[This Shen Jinghe is the most stubborn one ever! We know that the patriarch, Mr. Shen, doesn't like sweets, and he ordered one for his second brother, so should we also order one for our eldest brother?]
Suddenly being mentioned, Shen Jingxiu's inner thoughts were: - Matcha flavor, thank you. Last time it was strawberry flavor, this time I want to try a different flavor.
He just hadn't figured out how to bring up the request if Wen Yan asked him.
However, he soon found that problem was gone.
Wen Yan did ask him if he wanted to have one too, but before he could speak, Su Yang refused on his behalf.
"Your eldest brother doesn't need any; he's like your dad, he doesn't like desserts. Your second brother, however, does like them, so you can order one for him. By the way, which one were you going to recommend to me earlier?"
"Oh, this looks pretty good, doesn't it?"
Shen Jingxiu silently got up and went upstairs. He was usually busy with work and had little time to eat, so even when he went to eat Western food alone, he didn't have time to eat the last dessert.
He sighed silently to himself, thinking that perhaps he should take some time to enjoy life.
Because the villa area where the Shen family lived was far from the city center, it took an hour for the errand runner to deliver the desserts.
After taking out the items Su Yang and she had ordered, Wen Yan immediately grabbed the paper bag and ran upstairs to the second floor.
She went first and knocked on Shen Jinghe's door.
