Her pregnancy was now very obvious.
Mu Baicheng nodded, "Okay."
They had just found a spot to sit down in the pavilion when four young people dressed in traditional Han clothing approached.
"People in the Capital City are too enthusiastic."
"I like Capital City."
"Xiao Wu, are you thirsty? If you are, let Sister Qiao go buy some water."
Lin Wu shook her head lightly, "I’m not thirsty. Let’s just sit here and rest."
"Okay."
At first, Mu Baicheng only felt that the girl looked somewhat familiar.
Until...
He heard Lin Wu’s voice.
Seeing Lin Wu, he really wanted to ask how Lin Guixiang had been lately...
But he didn’t know how to start.
After thinking it over, he ultimately decided not to speak.
Lin Wu also saw Mu Baicheng.
She didn’t speak either.
Since her mother and he had already become a thing of the past, there was no need to greet him.
Moreover...
Mu Baicheng’s new wife was already pregnant.
Let bygones be bygones.
Back at the hotel.
It was already past four in the afternoon.
All four of them were so tired they slumped on the bed.
All but Qiao Ran.
He had a room but didn’t sleep in it, insisting on lying on the floor of the three-person room.
Shen Lijun rested for a while, then removed her makeup and changed into her everyday clothes, "What do you three want to eat tonight? I’ll go out and buy it for you."
Miao Yajing hugged the quilt, "Junjun, are you really not tired?"
Her legs were almost breaking.
And yet, Shen Lijun was planning to go out and buy food.
"Just order some take-out," said Lin Wu.
"No, I think the food I buy is tastier than take-out," Shen Lijun said with a smile. "And I don’t feel tired at all. Tell me what you want to eat quickly."
"I want stir-fried noodles," said Lin Wu. "If it’s from a roadside stall, even better."
Despite everyone saying roadside stalls aren’t hygienic, the food there is genuinely delicious.
"Then I’ll have soup noodles."
Qiao Ran said, "I’ll have fried rice then."
Although he really wanted to go out for a feast, he just couldn’t walk another step.
Shen Lijun made a note of their requests, "Okay, I’ll be back soon."
It didn’t take long for Shen Lijun to leave the hotel.
She didn’t immediately go to buy food but stopped a taxi instead, "Driver, please take me to the Tang Family Mansion."
Even though the Tang Family Mansion was nearby the hotel.
Walking there was a bit slow.
And because she was really tired today, Shen Lijun chose to take a taxi.
The Tang Family Mansion?
Upon hearing this, the driver took a glance at Shen Lijun in the back seat and said with a smile, "Young lady, are you also going to the Tangs to seek kinship?"
Everyone in Capital City knew that in the early years, the Tang Family had lost their only daughter.
And to this day, they still haven’t given up looking for her.
Nobody in Capital City had seen the Eldest Miss Tang, yet everyone envied her.
They wished they could immediately turn into Tang Qiushui and inherit a fortune worth billions.
Hearing this, Shen Lijun said, "Are there many people going to the Tangs to claim kinship?"
"Many, a great many," the driver replied. "On average, we come across one every three days."
The Tang Family was the most top-notch elite clan in Capital City.
Who wouldn’t want such immense wealth and status?
Shen Lijun nodded her head.
A few minutes later, the car stopped by the Tang Family Mansion.
"Young lady, you’ll need to walk the rest of the way on your own, our car can’t get you any closer," the driver said.
"Okay." Shen Lijun got out of the car and then took out her phone to dial the number from the missing person’s ad.
The other end of the phone was quickly picked up.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
Shen Lijun politely said, "Hello, may I speak with Grandma Fang, Fang Youling?"
"It’s me." Fang Youling used this phone specifically for seeking her daughter, so she was particularly cautious and never let assistants or anyone else handle it. "What can I do for you?"
Shen Lijun continued, "It’s like this, I may have found a person who I suspect is your daughter. I’ve brought a sample and am at your doorstep. Could you come out for a moment?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Youling’s voice changed, "I, I’m currently not at home, but I can rush back immediately! Can you wait for me a little?"
"I can." Shen Lijun nodded.
After hanging up, Fang Youling couldn’t care about anything else, immediately dropping what she was doing, instructing her driver to take her back and calling the Butler to personally take Shen Lijun to the Tang Family Mansion.
Shen Lijun got into the vehicle and then realized just how vast the Tang Family’s gardens really were.
Five minutes later, the Butler stopped the car, "Miss Shen, we’ve arrived."
Shen Lijun got out of the car.
Knowing this guest was important to the elderly lady, the Butler did not dare to neglect her and immediately welcomed Shen Lijun into the hall, instructing the servants to serve snacks and tea.
Fang Hongyu heard that a distinguished guest had arrived home and immediately had a bad feeling, hurrying to the front hall.
"Miss Shen, is it?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lijun stood up from her chair, "Yes, it’s me."
The Butler immediately said, "Miss Shen, this is the elderly lady’s niece."
Fang Hongyu smiled warmly and said amiably, "Hello, Miss Shen. My name is Fang. If you don’t mind, you can call me Aunt Fang."
"Aunt Fang."
Fang Hongyu nodded and continued, "Miss Shen, I’ve been told by the Butler that you have something very important to discuss with the elderly lady. The elderly lady has been busy with business in the neighboring city recently. It might take some time for her to come back from there. If you are in a hurry, you can also confide in me with the matter."
