"..." Shen Jinghe glanced at Wen Yan, "Let's dig deeper into her adoptive parents' background. Didn't you feel something was amiss and suspect they had a problem?"
"We also need to check if her adoptive mother's illness is true. If it's fake, they might be trying to run away, and they might already be suspicious of you."
“Okay, I’ll listen to you, second brother.” Wen Yan and Shen Jinghe hit it off immediately. “I can provide the names of her adoptive parents and the hospital where her adoptive mother was treated. The rest is up to you, second brother.”
"Hmm." It's just about money, isn't it? He has that.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. It might be a while before you stay at home, Second Brother. Is that alright?"
"certainly."
Wen Yan: [He's back to his taciturn mode again, but it's okay, as long as he gets down to business.]
Shen Jinghe: "...You can leave now, hurry up."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Wen Yan left Shen Jinghe's room in a great mood, and even her steps became lighter.
Inside the study, Shen Jingxiu listened to her movements and glanced at his watch.
She had been in the second son's room for almost an hour from the time she went in until she came out.
What exactly were they secretly discussing?
It seems that Wen Yan has been thinking about this matter ever since she returned from the hospital.
Thinking of this, Shen Jingxiu immediately dialed the phone number of his special assistant, Wen Zhiming.
"Help me look up a person and an event. I'll send you the name. Try to find out as much as possible."
-
Shen Jinghe left for the film set early the next morning, and Shen Zhirou did not return.
However, Wen Yan received a message from Shen Jinghe that afternoon.
Shen Jinghe said that it was true that Shen Zhirou's adoptive mother, Zhao Jing, had a brain tumor, and that she and Wu Peng were currently waiting for their visas to go abroad for medical treatment.
However, the visa will likely take some time to process, so the two cannot leave for the time being.
At the same time, Shen Jingxiu also received the result.
However, his people investigated in more detail.
He also obtained another piece of information.
That is, Zhao Jing's surgery does not necessarily have to be done abroad; several hospitals in City A can perform it.
For them, going abroad is more complicated and shouldn't be their first choice. That's a bit strange.
“Alright,” Shen Jingxiu said to his assistant, “starting tonight, cancel all unimportant social engagements.”
Wen Zhiming was somewhat surprised to hear this, as the president's evening social engagements were usually scheduled three days in advance.
Saying it's off now would be completely out of character for the CEO.
Is there something else important?
"Yeah, I'll have to go home after get off work from now on."
"Oh, I see," Wen Zhiming quickly checked Shen Jingxiu's schedule.
"Tonight's dinner with the CEO of Lu's Group is very important and cannot be cancelled. The cocktail parties tomorrow and the day after can be cancelled. What do you think of tonight?"
"Okay, let's start tomorrow."
-
Shen Jinghe will be filming night scenes tonight.
He originally wanted to send a message to Wen Yan saying that he wouldn't be going home that night.
But he had too many WeChat messages and couldn't find Wen Yan's name for a while.
So he searched for it.
Just then, he ran into a makeup artist who came to touch up his makeup, and he accidentally sent the message to the "Our Family" group chat.
Because Wen Yan was also a member of the group, the group would pop up when he searched for Wen Yan's name.
Moreover, this group happens to be listed right below Wen Yan's name.
This group was originally created by Su Yang to make it easier for Wen Yan to post photos of Shen Jinghe. Later, after Wen Yan finished filming and stopped posting photos, the group was not disbanded, and Shen Jinghe did not leave.
Su Yang was overjoyed when she saw his message, "I'm not going home tonight, but I'll be back tomorrow if nothing unexpected happens."
She couldn't help but share it with her husband and Wen Yan.
“Look at Jinghe, he’s made progress! He knows to report his whereabouts when he’s home. I’m truly gratified.”
Wen Yan could tell that the happiness in Su Yang's eyes and brows was genuine.
She truly loves her family and her children.
Back in her room, Wen Yan suddenly felt a little sad.
If Shen Zhirou's identity is truly problematic, if the Shen family's daughter actually committed suicide ten years ago.
What would Su Yang do if she suddenly announced that the daughter she had been with for four years was a fake? She would be devastated.
That would be too cruel for her.
This is also the main reason why she only sought help from Shen Jinghe without discussing it with the couple.
The following evening, after dinner, Shen Jinghe finished his filming and returned to the Shen family villa.
Coincidentally, Shen Zhirou and Shen Jingxiu also returned.
Although they couldn't form a complete family, Su Yang was happy that all four children were there.
To her surprise, Shen Jinghe even brought her a gift.
Shen Jinghe was somewhat absent when the gift was delivered because he had lied to his mother.
He handed Su Yang a bag and said, forcing himself to speak:
"I bought this silk scarf while filming in H Province, where silkworms are abundant. I forgot to bring it back with me, and the hotel there just sent it to me by express delivery today."
Actually, I didn't buy it on purpose; I just bought it in bulk today.
Because the scarf stall was near the film set, he originally wanted to buy three, but they said they only did wholesale business.
Wholesale it is fine, but while we were doing it, the city management officers came.
The stall owner took the cash from his hand, stuffed a bunch of silk scarves into his hand, and ran away.
Then, he took out two paper bags and handed them to Shen Zhirou and Wen Yan respectively.
