Chapter 258 Who exactly is Xia Mian's father?
Shen Yingshuang sat up, staring at Fu Lichen in shock. "What did you say?"
"Fu Licheng. Do you know how old I am now? Do you know how much older I am than you?"
She suppressed the panic and complex emotions in her heart, "That night twenty years ago was an accident. Fu Licheng, how could you..."
"Sister, have you forgotten what exactly happened that night twenty years ago?" Fu Lichen grabbed Shen Yingshuang's hand and pulled her into his arms.
“I…” Shen Yingshuang didn’t want to talk about it.
The man, however, had no intention of letting her go. "Twenty years ago, you discovered Xia Weiguo's first affair, but for the sake of your three sons' upbringing and not wanting them to lose their father, you didn't choose to divorce him. You chose to swallow your anger and instead went to bars to drown your sorrows."
"But Xia Weiguo and Lin Siye don't want to let you go. They bribed the bar staff to try and seduce you, frame you for cheating, and make you leave with nothing!"
"Sister, it was me, who was eighteen years old at the time, and a few of my classmates who saved you."
"I took you to the Fu family's hotel, and you wouldn't let go of my hand."
"Twenty years have passed, and I'm already thirty-eight years old. Don't you still want me? Xia Weiguo is a scoundrel! He doesn't even deserve to have taken half of my life!"
The man's eyes reddened, and he stared at Shen Yingshuang with a wronged and humble expression. "Sister, Mianmian is my daughter, isn't she!"
"I don't know if she's your daughter. I don't know." Shen Yingshuang lowered her head, not daring to look into his humble and affectionate eyes.
The mistakes you make when you're young will eventually become bullets that hit you twenty years later!
She drank a lot of alcohol at the time. When she learned of Xia Weiguo's betrayal, she was in great pain and wanted to indulge herself and lose all restraint!
He wanted to take revenge on Xia Weiguo through indulgence!
That night, perhaps it was the boy's eyes that were too clear, or perhaps it was the boy's voice that was too sincere.
She hasn't received any care in such a long, long time...
She couldn't help but pull down the boy's collar, tiptoe, and kiss him.
Shen Yingshuang closed her eyes for a while before opening them again. "Over the years, I have also doubted Xia Mian's background, but I have never dared to face this issue."
“Since you also want to know the answer, then let’s go to the identification center together.” As if she had made up her mind, Shen Yingshuang stood up and looked at the man in front of her with a compassionate expression.
Tears welled up in her eyes. "You've grown up."
That naive young man, with clear eyes, rescued her from her suffering with his slender shoulders. For many years afterward, she constantly recalled the memory of that night.
He was a ray of bright moonlight in her marriage with Xia Weiguo, which was like a joke.
Her fingertips gently touched his eyebrows and eyes, tracing them lightly. "His eyes are sharper, and his expression is more composed. He's really different from when he was a child."
Why don't you get married? If you did, I might be able to force myself to forget you.
"Why..."
Fu Lichen hugged her tightly, "Sister, I love you! Don't you understand? Don't you really understand? I love you!"
"Sister, I never want to lose you again."
He cupped Shen Yingshuang's face in his hands. Time had left its mark on her face, but it had only made her more elegant and charming.
Twenty years ago, on that night, he and his classmates celebrated graduating from high school and being admitted to university.
As soon as he stepped into the bar, he noticed the sister standing alone in the corner. Her back was so straight, and her expression was so forlorn.
He recognized her at a glance; she was the eldest daughter of the Shen family, the older sister he had met a few times at banquets. Many people in Mingcheng were sighing behind her back that the eldest daughter of the Shen family had married Xia Weiguo, a scumbag and a restless son-in-law.
The boy's budding feelings had already taken root and sprouted in the stunning silhouettes of countless older sisters and amidst the sighs of onlookers.
Especially when she saw several waiters acting suspiciously and trying to touch her inappropriately.
His sister, his incomparably beautiful sister, they dare to do it!
He rushed up carrying a wine bottle!
It wasn't a rash decision; he was simply too young, and he had long harbored a desire to be a knight.
It was a long, lonely, and desperate unrequited love.
Twenty years!
"I'm old," Shen Yingshuang cried out. "But I'm old! I'm eight years older than you!"
"I only regret that I was born too late." Fu Lichen shook his head. The man who held the power of life and death in the Hong Kong entertainment circle lowered his noble head and humbly kissed Shen Yingshuang's tears.
"The first time I saw you was at your wedding. You were smiling so sweetly. I was thinking then, why am I only a teenager when I'm such a beautiful woman? If I were your age, would the Shen family give me a chance when choosing a son-in-law?"
"Why did you get married so early, sister? Why did you get married at twenty?"
Why didn't you wait for me?
For so many years, he has asked himself this question every day: Why am I so young? Why did she get married so early?
"But it doesn't matter. Xia Weiguo is a scumbag, a piece of trash. He doesn't deserve my pure and innocent sister." Fu Lichen hugged Shen Yingshuang tightly. "Sister, let's get married!"
Shen Yingshuang slowly raised her eyes, meeting Fu Lichen's deep gaze, "I..."
She was completely shocked and couldn't believe it!
She couldn't believe that Fu Lichen had feelings for her when he was so young.
She couldn't believe it even more that Fu Lichen had waited for her for so many years!
She still couldn't believe that he actually wanted to marry her!
"Sister, please, please... don't reject me, okay?"
Fu Lichen knelt on one knee and put slippers on Shen Yingshuang, "Sister..."
"Let me think about it, let me think about it..." Shen Yingshuang murmured, "We should get Mianmian tested first..."
"Okay." Fu Lichen concealed the disappointment in his eyes and responded softly.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Xia Mian arrived at the private hospital under the Fu Group. She stood in the lobby, looking at her mother with a puzzled expression. "Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
Why would I invite her to the hospital out of the blue?
"No, you'll find out soon enough." Shen Yingshuang smiled at Xia Mian and took her daughter's hand as they entered the elevator.
The elevator stopped at the paternity testing center on the 23rd floor. Xia Mian was stunned when she saw the big words.
"I'm not your biological child? Really?"
"Of course you're my biological daughter!" Shen Yingshuang poked her forehead. "What are you thinking all day! You might not be Xia Weiguo's biological daughter, I need to find out..."
I don't know how to do it for Xia Mian.
"What did you say? I'm not Xia Weiguo's biological son?"
Xia Mian felt that her thought process couldn't keep up with her mother's anymore.
