Chapter 308 I Have Another Identity, the Dead Mrs. Huo

Shang Wanwan couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Over the years, whenever Mom missed you, she would hide in her room and draw. There were so many drawings that I took some photos of them on my phone."

Chen Xin handed her phone to Shang Wanwan, who looked at the pictures one by one, tears streaming down her face.

One painting instantly caught her attention.

She was a quiet and beautiful woman, accompanied by two children.

One was held in her arms, the other was resting on her knees. The two children looked at the woman with bright eyes. The woman sat cross-legged with a happy smile on her face.

She saw the time on the painting, which showed that they were drawn when they were exactly three years old.

The woman above is Mrs. Chen, and the two children are her and her lost sister.

The painting was too heartwarming and yet too cruel. Shang Wanwan couldn't bear to look at it any longer and turned off the screen.

"Where are the paintings now? And can I go see my dad?"

She was thinking about Mr. Chen in her heart. Chen Xin's face was as calm as water and he shook his head.

"No need, Dad has me to take care of him, you don't have to worry. I think it's best for him to calm down right now. The doctor said he won't live more than three months, I don't want to accept that.

Dad doesn't have an incurable disease, he just misses mom too much. I think it takes time for people to get over it. When he gets better, I'll arrange for you and big sister to meet him."

Chen Xin's gentle expression doesn't seem like that of a newly-adult adult; his calm personality is enough to enable him to stand on his own.

During the days when her parents retired, all the actions of their Suzhou company were controlled by Chen Xin.

At such a young age, he had already demonstrated great talent in the business field, so Mr. Chen was able to live a leisurely life. However, he never expected that his wife would be so depressed that she would leave them and return to her hometown.

"Sister, have you found her?"

Another her in the world.

Shang Wanwan didn't know who she was, but she felt anxious.

Chen Xin's eyes flickered: "You don't know?"

Shang Wanwan was surprised: "Do you know who it is, big sister?"

"Don't you know that Li Luo is the eldest sister?"

"???"

Shang Wanwan was stunned for a moment.

Li Luo is the elder sister?

This information took her brain two minutes to react.

She trembled with sound.

"Does Luoluo know?"

She and Luoluo are sisters.

Chen Xin looked at Shang Wanwan and her expression didn’t seem fake.

He gently picked up the coffee cup and took a sip: "Yeah. I know."

"But why didn't she tell me and why didn't she acknowledge me?"

Does Li Luo really know that they are sisters?

"When did you know?"

She didn't believe it. Luo Luo was not that kind of person.

"Five years ago, she refused to even acknowledge her mother, so how could she acknowledge you?"

Shang Wanwan stared at Chen Xin for five full seconds, her eyes flickering.

"She doesn't want to admit it. She must have her reasons."

Shang Wanwan has known Li Luo for many years.

She is a girl who has a clear distinction between what she likes and what she hates. She must have her own reasons.

"Sister and you have been best friends for so many years. She was right about you, and you were right about her. Sister, I really envy you both."

Chen Xin withdrew her gaze from Shang Wanwan and stared at the liquid in the coffee cup. The white latte art had already been messed up into a ball.

The coffee tastes bitter, but people still want to taste it.

Life is probably like this too.

There is joy in bitterness. Compared to bitterness, the most terrifying thing is boredom, uninterestingness and loneliness facing the long years alone.

"My eldest sister couldn't forgive mom and dad for abandoning her. She also refused to forgive mom after she knew about it. Moreover, she even -"

Chen Xin didn't say anything else, as saying more would be considered as sowing discord.

He had been alone for more than ten years, and finally found out that he had a twin sister. He didn't want to destroy this hard-earned family relationship.

His family was broken up when his mother left.

"Maybe Luoluo doesn't want to worry about me."

If she had known five years ago that she had a biological sister in this world, she would have compromised.

You can leave Huo Dongming, but you can't leave your family.

Chen Xin's expression was calm, but she still couldn't hide the ups and downs of her emotions.

"Anyway, it's enough for you to know. I'll find time to send you Mom's paintings. As for Li Luo, find a time for the three of us to sit down and talk."

Chen Xin said that very reluctantly.

"Dad divided the property into three parts. He didn't want to favor anyone, nor did he want to owe anyone anything. Mom and Dad didn't fulfill their parental responsibilities to you, and they feel guilty.

My mother died to atone for her crime, but my father still cannot get over it.

Sister, please help me persuade Li Luo to see dad for the last time. Even if it's against my will. My parents have made mistakes but they have already been redeemed. I am willing to give you another 50% of the company shares under my name and divide them equally between you and sister. I am still young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Just consider it a little token of my appreciation to my parents and me."

He placed the coffee cup gently on the table.

"I have already found a lawyer, and the property division agreement will be out soon. The three of us will go to the notary office together, and Dad will come."

Chen Xin was calmly helping her father with his funeral arrangements in a chatty tone, but Shang Wanwan simply couldn't stand to listen.

"I don't want it. Chen Xin, I don't want your and dad's money. Luo Luo won't want it either."

What they lacked was not money, but the love they had always dreamed of, which her adoptive parents had given her. Li Luo also met two men who were willing to fight for her and protect her.

Their original families can no longer give them what they want. Once some deficiencies appear, they will last a lifetime and nothing can make up for or replace them.

Money can buy everything, but it can't buy back memories, fate, and life.

All-powerful magic will eventually be defeated by time. When everything comes to an end, looking back, you will find that this life is nothing but a dream.

"I want to see Li Luo. You can't make decisions for her, and she can't make decisions for you."

Chen Xin is very stubborn and won't be moved by Shang Wanwan's persuasion, nor will she take anything from the Chen family.

She accepted her mother's painting.

"It's getting late. I have to go back. I hope you can accept what Dad and I mean. At least he can recognize his daughter as his father at the end of his life. Sister, I beg you for Dad."

Chen Xin's eyes were slightly wet.

A man doesn't shed tears easily. In the end, he didn't cry. When he left, Chen Xin was silent.

The 19-year-old boy carries a heavy burden that ordinary people don't have.

Some people can cry loudly when their loved ones pass away, but some people don’t even have the qualifications or time to cry.

Shang Wanwan chased out of the cafe and Chen Xin was already in the car.

His still young face was revealed through the half-lowered car window, but the seriousness and calmness in his expression were totally inconsistent with his age.

He looked at her from a distance and waved at her.

Shang Wanwan subconsciously raised her hand and gently waved "Goodbye".

The black high-end business car slowly drove away, and Shang Wanwan stood at the door for a long time.

"Why did that boy come to see you?"

Wu Zhengyang came to see Shang Wanwan, and someone told him that she came to the cafe with a boy.

He hurriedly chased after her and happened to see Chen Xin leaving.

I'm sure everyone knows that child.

He became famous at a young age.

“He’s family to me.”

Shang Wanwan smiled faintly and looked back, and Wu Zhengyang's eyes showed surprise.

"Family, you and Chen Xin?"

"Yes, he is my brother."

Wu Zhengyang was even more surprised: "Then Mr. Chen Rongsheng is your biological father?"

Shang Wanwan nodded.

Wu Zhengyang was shocked as if he had been hit on the head. He was so shocked that he almost couldn't stand still.

He looked at her, trembling with fear, as if he had just recognized her.

"So, you are—"

"My name is Shang Wanwan, Yao Lin is my name in the United States. I also have another identity that you all know, the deceased Mrs. Huo."
