"From today onwards, you are no longer responsible for this matter; I will take over entirely. Jing Xiu, all future progress on your end should be reported directly to me by your assistant. As for Jing He and Yan Yan, you can go about your business as usual."
"Jingxiu, go and organize all the clues you currently have and hand them over to me. Jinghe, help your mother back to her room to rest. Yan Yan, stay behind, I have something to say to you."
In a short while, Shen Yuan made a decision and assigned tasks to everyone.
After everyone had left, Shen Yuan walked up to Wen Yan.
Wen Yan had absolutely no idea what the head of the Shen family was planning to say to her.
But to her surprise, the first thing Shen Yuan did was apologize to her.
"I'm so sorry, Yan Yan, you've been bullied by a fake conman for so long. Your parents will make it up to you in the future."
Wen Yan shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.
“Dad, don’t say that. You and Mom gave me a second life. I’m already very satisfied with living a life of comfort and wealth. If you feel guilty like this, I really feel bad.”
Shen Yuan nodded: "You really are a sensible and good child. I knew I hadn't misjudged you when I first saw you at the orphanage. There's also something else I'd like to ask you."
"Dad, you're too kind. We're all family, there's no need for such formalities. Just tell me what you need."
“Okay,” Shen Yuan, usually so decisive, choked up at this moment. “I hope you can put aside your work for a while and spend more time with your mother, okay?”
“This is a huge blow to her. As your mother’s husband, I can comfort and care for her, but she also needs the company of her daughter.”
"So Dad is begging you."
Wen Yan was moved by Shen Yuan.
She sincerely assured Shen Yuan, "Dad, don't worry, even if you didn't say it, I would still spend time with Mom. I also hope that Mom can be happy every day."
"Thanks a lot."
"It's not hard work. I'll go see Mom now."
Shen Yuan nodded.
Just as Wen Yan left, Shen Jingxiu came in.
Their eyes met, and Wen Yan smiled slightly at Shen Jingxiu.
Shen Jingxiu had been frowning, but seeing Wen Yan's warm smile, his brows gradually relaxed.
Wen Yan thought Su Yang would be very sad, and perhaps even cry her eyes out.
But when Wen Yan went to Su Yang's room, she found that Su Yang had already washed her face, combed her hair, and was picking out clothes in front of the wardrobe.
Wen Yan was somewhat puzzled and couldn't help but glance at Shen Jinghe beside her.
Shen Jinghe frowned and remained silent, clearly unable to understand what Su Yang was trying to do.
"Mom?" Wen Yan walked quickly to Su Yang's side. "Why are you still picking out clothes to wear out so late? Are you going to wear them tomorrow?"
Su Yang's eyes were still red and swollen. She forced a smile and said to Wen Yan:
"Yan Yan, you're here just in time! Can you help me decide which outfit will make me look more assertive?"
Wen Yan didn't answer: "Mom, what are you doing?"
Su Yang tilted her head back, forcing back her tears: "I'm going to see those liars right now. I still want to ask them if they've seen my Zhirou."
Hearing those words, "My Zhirou," Wen Yan's throat tightened.
"Mom, but Dad's plan hasn't been implemented yet. If you want to see them, wait until Dad has sorted things out. Tonight might not be the best time, and there's no rush. Don't you agree, Second Brother?"
"Yes, Mom, why don't we discuss it with Dad again?" Actually, Shen Jing and I almost impulsively rushed to find the imposter family today, but the other two rationally stopped us.
At that time, he was truly consumed by rage, and his whole being seemed to be burning up.
But now, looking at his mother, he remained silent and restrained, and he knew she must be feeling terrible.
Shen Jinghe couldn't help himself and stepped forward to hug his mother tightly.
"Mom, cry if you want to. As your son and Zhirou's brother, I will settle accounts with those scumbags."
"Don't cry, Mom still wants to find your sister. These swindlers aren't worth Mom's tears."
As they were talking, Shen Yuan suddenly pushed the door open and came in.
From the moment he entered the room, his gaze remained fixed on Su Yang.
"Honey, if you want to go, we'll go tonight."
Su Yang turned to look at Shen Yuan: "Really? You've taken care of everything?"
"Yes, it's ready."
"Okay, then wait while I put on some light makeup. I don't want that scammer to see me looking so disheveled."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Su Yang sat down in front of the dressing table, but her hand holding the powder puff was trembling slightly.
Wen Yan stepped forward and said softly, "Mom, let me do it. I'm very good at makeup, no worse than those beauty bloggers online."
After finishing her makeup, Wen Yan couldn't help but ask Shen Yuan.
"Dad, can we go together?"
Shen Yuan refused Wen Yan's request: "It's getting late, you should rest. You three siblings must be tired after running around for this matter these past few days."
After saying that, Shen Yuan personally took out a trench coat from the wardrobe and draped it over Su Yang's shoulders.
Not allowed to accompany them, Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe could only see Shen Yuan and Su Yang to the door.
Wen Yan sighed only after their car drove away.
"I really want to see how my parents deal with that scammer."
After speaking, Wen Yan turned to look at Shen Jinghe.
Shen Jinghe glanced down at her and said, "Why are you looking at me? Do you think I don't want to? But they won't let us follow."
