Chapter 97 It's Actually His Daughter
Han Xi never expected to run into Shen Jiheng on her first day back in China. Even more absurdly, her daughter, who has autism, actually approached him.
Could it really be a twist of fate that brought this father and daughter together in this way?
Zhuo Qingqian asked anxiously, "Then tell me quickly, where did my goddaughter go?"
Han Xi said, "You wouldn't believe it, but Yu Mo actually went to find Shen Jiheng and even hugged him."
Zhuo Qingqian: "??"
Not only was Zhuo Qingqian completely confused, but Gu Beichen also didn't understand what was going on.
Over the past few years, he knew that Shen Jiheng was searching for Han Xi's whereabouts everywhere, and of course, he had inquired about information from him countless times.
However, Zhuo Qingqian gave him a death order: if he dared to reveal even a single word about Han Xi's location, she would never forgive him for the rest of her life.
Of course, his wife is more important. Besides, Shen Jiheng was indeed at fault back then, which is why Gu Beichen never mentioned Han Xi's matter and never revealed the existence of the child.
Han Xi explained the situation, and Zhuo Qingqian couldn't help but sigh, "It can only be said to be the power of blood ties, but unfortunately he doesn't deserve it."
Gu Beichen patted her shoulder.
"Don't be angry yet, so what should we do next?"
Han Xi said, "They are treating Yumo like a lost child now, and they will definitely send her to the guard room or to the staff. You can pick her up then."
Zhuo Qingqian nodded: "This is the only way, but what if Yumo refuses to go with the staff?"
This reminded Han Xi that it was indeed hard to say.
“Let’s wait and see how things go. I think Shen Jiheng seems to be in a hurry. He shouldn’t be gone for long. As long as he’s not around, it’ll be fine.”
The person she once loved most was also the one who hurt her the most. Even after not seeing him for several years, Han Xi was still heartbroken when she saw him.
Now her daughter is in his hands again. She really doesn't know why God always likes to play jokes on her.
After waiting for about ten minutes without seeing Shen Jiheng come out, Gu Beichen had no choice but to go in to find out what was going on. Just then, he heard a missing person notice being broadcast over the loudspeaker.
Since the child doesn't speak and we don't know anything about her, and with so many people at the airport every day, this is the only way the staff can manage.
But it obviously had no effect; if they continued, they would have to send him to the police station.
Gu Beichen came out and explained the situation: "He was in the mother and baby room with the child. It seemed like he was waiting for the child's family. I really didn't expect him to be so patient with a child he didn't know."
As he spoke, he paid special attention to Han Xi's expression, and it was almost impossible to see any lingering affection for Shen Jiheng.
Zhuo Qingqian said anxiously, "This can't go on. What if they really take them away?"
Han Xi nodded, then looked at Gu Beichen and said, "Do you remember what we discussed before we returned to China?"
Gu Beichen was taken aback at first, then nodded.
"I do remember, but is this really a good thing? It seems a bit unfair to them."
Zhuo Qingqian also seemed a little distressed and asked with concern, "Xi Xi, why don't we just say it's my child? I'm a little reluctant to say it's an illegitimate child."
Han Xi laughed and said, "I understand what you mean, but don't forget that he has seen almost everything you do. But Bei Chen is different. He was known for his womanizing back then. It's normal for him to have women outside, and it's not surprising that he has illegitimate children."
Gu Beichen felt embarrassed and gave an awkward laugh. It wasn't that he was afraid to admit the past, but he was afraid that Zhuo Qingqian would get angry.
"Han Xi, I feel that your words are very derogatory. I have already reformed."
After thinking it over, Zhuo Qingqian patted him on the shoulder and agreed with the suggestion.
“Xi Xi is right. Besides, the siblings will be living in the Gu family's house soon, and this is the most suitable identity for them, so no one will suspect anything.”
Zhuo Qingqian understood that this identity was indeed the most suitable for staying in the Gu family, and it wouldn't attract attention.
Hearing this, Gu Beichen's concerns were dispelled.
"Since Qianqian says so, then fine, I'll go and bring my daughter back right now."
Han Xi said gratefully, "Thank you for your trouble. Remember not to give anything away. We'll wait for you in the car."
Gu Beichen gave an OK sign, promising to bring the child back.
In the airport's mother and baby room, the little girl in Shen Jiheng's arms was eating cookies, and quite a few cookies were broken on his bespoke suit, which made Qin Chuan's heart tremble with fear.
They couldn't hug the little girl; instead, they only got close to Shen Jiheng, who looked fierce.
Qin Chuan asked in a low voice, "President, do we really have to keep waiting? It's been half an hour. Her family may have already flown away or left. We should take her to the police station instead."
Shen Jiheng glared at him sharply, his displeasure evident in his voice: "What, do I still need you to tell me what to do?"
"Of course we wouldn't dare, but we still need to find chips, so we have to get the car suppliers to talk to us first."
Shen Jiheng was clearly the most anxious one after the chip was lost, so why does he seem like nothing happened now?
And he's such a germaphobe, yet he can tolerate a strange child eating on him and getting all dirty.
"Let nature take its course."
"......"
Well, it turns out he was just being delusional.
Would you like some water?
Seeing that she had eaten quite a bit, Shen Jiheng thoughtfully handed her some water.
Han Yumo looked up at him and gave him a faint smile, which made Shen Jiheng's heart skip a beat, as if he had been struck by something.
This was a feeling he had never experienced before, and it was as if it filled something that was missing in him.
Shen Jiheng touched his heart, wondering why he had this strange feeling.
Qin Chuan was also surprised. If someone didn't know the situation, they would probably think they were father and daughter.
The door to the mother and baby room rang, and a staff member walked in with a smile.
"Mr. Shen, thank you so much. We've found the little girl's family, and they're here to pick her up."
Shen Jiheng was curious; how could such a cute child have been lost by such a careless parent?
Turning her head to look at the door, she saw Gu Beichen rushing in, shouting, "I'm sorry, Yumo, Dad is late... Ji Heng? What are you doing here?"
Shen Jiheng was even more shocked than him, his eyes filled with disbelief. He looked at the child in his arms, unable to connect the two.
Qin Chuan asked in surprise, "Mr. Gu, could it be that you are this child's family?"
Gu Beichen nodded, pointed to the child in his arms, and said, "Yes, she is my daughter."
He quickly made a 'shh' gesture and whispered, "You must keep this a secret for me. You absolutely cannot let Zhuo Qingqian know. It's all my fault for being a womanizer back then. I only found out recently that I have a son and a daughter."
As Gu Beichen spoke, he stepped forward and extended his hands to Han Yumo.
Since she often saw him in videos, Han Yumo was not unfamiliar with him. When he reached out his hand, she hesitated for a moment but still went over, which also proved the truth of his words.
Gu Beichen noticed something on her lips and gently wiped it away, then tenderly apologized to her.
"Yumo, I'm sorry, Dad is late and scared you."
Shen Jiheng really couldn't understand how he could have such a beautiful daughter. In addition, Gu Beichen was usually unreliable and it was normal for him to be late.
