Chapter 888 Reunion in Switzerland
On the private plane to Switzerland, Shen Qingshu learned that not only Fu Nian'an knew about Fu Nianjin's background, but Shen Anning did as well.
Shen Anning had met Jin Que in Switzerland long ago because of Qi Yue.
Shen Qingshu thought she and Fu Siyan had kept this a secret, but she overlooked the fact that Fu Nian'an and Shen Anning were already old enough to understand.
That's a grudge from the previous generation; the child is innocent.
From childhood to adulthood, Fu Nian'an and Shen Anning never treated Fu Nianjin differently because she was not their biological child.
On the contrary, the brother and sister cherished their younger sister even more.
As for Jin Que, from a bloodline perspective, he was their father's half-brother, and in terms of seniority, they should respectfully address him as "Uncle".
“Actually, we are all family in essence.” Shen Anning looked at her mother and said, “If Niannian wants to acknowledge him, we will respect her decision.”
“It’s not that I don’t want her to acknowledge Jin Que.” Shen Qingshu’s expression was solemn, and she hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Fu Nian'an and Shen Anning realized something was wrong.
They looked at their father, Fu Siyan.
Fu Siyan pursed his lips, "A-Shu, the children are all grown up. After we're gone, the three siblings will rely on each other. They have the right to know."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu sighed, "Alright, then I'll tell you the truth."
Le Yan sat next to Fu Nian'an, sensing that what Shen Qingshu was about to say was rather serious.
She quickly turned to look at Fu Nian'an.
Before Fu Nian'an could speak, Shen Qingshu spoke first.
“Yangyang, you are now Nian'an's wife, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fu family, and a member of this family. You have the right to know about this matter.”
Le Yan was flattered, but still nodded. "Mom, don't worry, no matter what Niannian's background is, I will treat her like my own sister, just like Nian An does."
“Good, you are all good children.” Shen Qingshu took a deep breath and slowly began, “It all started with your grandfather, that is, Siyan and Jin Que’s father…”
In the private airport, Shen Qingshu's voice was like that of a storyteller, recounting those old stories in detail.
"...Jiang Ruomi switched the eggs, so Niannian is her and Jin Que's child. However, she died of amniotic fluid embolism after giving birth to Niannian. After that, I brought Niannian back to raise her. But in order to make Jin Que willingly stay in Switzerland to continue contributing to medicine, we played along and made him mistakenly believe that Niannian is my and his child."
When Shen Qingshu stopped speaking, Fu Nian'an, Shen Anning, and Le Yan fell silent for a moment.
Fu Siyan added: "It was my decision to keep it from Jin Que. After all, he had done many twisted and crazy things for Ashu. He had a twisted emotional attachment to Ashu. Only if he felt that Niannian was his and Ashu's child would he be willing to cooperate with the Swiss research lab to do various medical research."
Shen Qingshu: "Putting everything else aside, Jin Que is truly a rare genius in the medical field. He is proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine. In recent years, Song Wenyuan's research institute has made great breakthroughs in medicine because of Jin Que. Their current focus on genetics is also at a critical moment."
Fu Nian'an: "So, you mean, should we continue to keep it from him?"
“It can’t be hidden any longer.” Shen Qingshu said solemnly, “Niannian wouldn’t have known about her background for no reason.”
Shen Anning's eyes widened. "Mom, do you mean he found out about Niannian's true background and then told her?"
Shen Qingshu didn't speak, but the answer was obvious.
"But doesn't he have no way to contact the outside world?" Fu Nian'an asked.
“Last night I had your godmother investigate Lu Zhao,” Fu Siyan said. “Lu Zhao took Niannian on a business trip abroad some time ago, to Switzerland. Moreover, Lu Zhao has been looking into investing in medical research institutes in recent years. Your godmother also found out that Lu Zhao visited the institute and contacted a certain person there. That person has a recent record of close conversations with Jin Que. The problem should lie here.”
Shen Anning: "Were Song Wenyuan's men bribed by Lu Zhao?"
Fu Siyan: "To be precise, Jin Que bribed that person, and that person worked for Jin Que."
Fu Nian'an frowned. "What does Jin Que want to do? After all these years, does he still want to come out?"
“We’ll have to wait until we get to Switzerland to find out the specifics,” Shen Qingshu said. “Your godmother has already informed Song Wenyuan. As soon as Niannian and Songyi arrived at the research institute, Song Wenyuan put them under his supervision. They haven’t seen Jin Que yet, which is the most optimistic news we’ve received so far.”
Shen Anning then asked, "Then whose child is Niannian in her belly?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu shook her head and sighed, "Your godmother hasn't found out anything about Niannian and Lu Zhao having any inappropriate relationship, but apart from Lu Zhao, no other man has been close to Niannian. So, I'll ask Niannian about the pregnancy in person when we get to Switzerland."
Fu Nian'an raised her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose. "I hope Nian's pregnancy is a false alarm."
Fu Siyan said, "Now we can only wait until we get to Switzerland and meet with Niannian to talk in detail."
Shen Anning sighed: "That brat, I asked her a while ago if she had a boyfriend, and she said no, and that she was only focused on her career. She didn't tell me a single truth."
"How dare you say that about her?" Fu Nian'an gave her a disdainful look.
Shen Anning: "...Hey, isn't this because I was young and naive and took the wrong path? It's precisely because I took the wrong path when I was young that I'm even more afraid that Nian Nian will end up like me!"
"You haven't set a good example."
Shen Anning: "..."
Le Yan sat to the side watching the brother and sister bicker, her eyes darting back and forth, not daring to interrupt.
But everyone was worried about Fu Nianjin, and after a few words of bickering, they got bored and shut up.
Everyone was in low spirits during the flight; they were either sleeping or silent.
Finally, on the second day, they arrived in Switzerland at around 10 a.m. local time.
After landing, the car sent by Song Wenyuan took the group directly to the research institute.
Upon arriving at the research institute, Song Wenyuan was already standing at the entrance, waiting to greet them.
Song Wenyuan remains single. Over the years, he has dedicated himself to medical research, expanding the institute and leading his team to achieve remarkable success in medicine.
Of course, Jin Que deserves much credit for this.
After exchanging pleasantries, Song Wenyuan led the old friends into the research institute.
Song Wenyuan walked ahead, saying, "The two children are in the conference room. I'll take you there now."
Shen Qingshu asked him, "Is Niannian alright?"
"Aside from being a little down, the little girl is otherwise healthy."
"That's good." Shen Qingshu nodded. "Brother Song, I'm sorry to have troubled you again."
Song Wenyuan smiled and said, "We don't talk about these things among ourselves. We've arrived."
At the conference room door, Song Wenyuan stopped, turned around and looked at them. "Um, why don't you wait a moment and let Madam Fu go in first?"
Upon hearing this, the group looked at Shen Qingshu.
"I'll go in first, you guys wait outside," Shen Qingshu said.
Fu Siyan gently reminded him, "Talk to the child nicely."
"I will, don't worry." Shen Qingshu nodded to Fu Siyan and looked at Song Wenyuan: "Open the door."
Song Wenyuan opened the conference room door and walked in one after the other with Shen Qingshu.
