Chapter 13 Adoption and Abandonment

After a brief silence.

There was a huge burst of whispers, they had never imagined that Actor Shen would have such a past.

"Oh my god, they really are parents."

"This is Mr. and Mrs. Herbert, famous French entrepreneurs when they were young, with a net worth of nine figures!"

"This is a truly wealthy family now."

"But was Mr. Shen... adopted and then abandoned?"

If that is the case.

In the midst of such a huge storm of verbal abuse, they actually felt a little...heartache?

The biggest fear for children in orphanages is being adopted and then abandoned.

I thought I had finally waited for a soft-hearted God, but in the end I was returned to the cold night of winter.

"No, you guys are just too gullible, aren't you?"

"Mr. and Mrs. Herbert are so rich. Even if they really don't want to support Mr. Shen, can they still treat him badly? Do you think Mr. Shen has ever suffered?"

"That is to say, even though they had already abandoned him, he still took advantage of the kindness of the couple to pave the way for his own future. What was he thinking?"

"As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Herbert heard about his accident, they flew to China to defend him."

"Shen Jixing, you have no heart."

…

Fang Sigan scanned the real-time bullet screen at the scene, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corners of his lips.

Although the process was somewhat different from what he expected.

Failed to find out the real reason why Shen Jixing was abandoned.

But the result was what he wanted. He smiled and offered to help her. "Mrs. Herbert, I'll help you down."

Mrs. Herbert quietly avoided his hand.

She still maintained her usual gentle and elegant demeanor as a lady, staring at the young Chinese man in front of her with her grey eyes.

"You are not sincere, child."

Her soft voice is like a cotton needle.

"There is no good fortune for insincere children."

The smile on Fang Sigan's lips changed slightly.

This is probably the most gentle curse, and it has no killing power at this moment.

But it would suffocate him in his dreams at midnight.

"Really?" Fang Siqian helped her down the stairs, his voice filled with a sinister smile, "Perhaps, he is even worse than me?"

Although his purpose is indeed not pure.

He wanted to peel off the man's false mask and expose it completely to the sunlight.

Let everyone see what kind of disgusting soul is hidden under his false shell of aloof god.

As if this would allow his initial admiration to deteriorate smoothly.

It turns into hatred very calmly.

"It's you who is miserable, not him."

Mrs. Herbert shook her head in disappointment, and as she left, she uttered an obscure sigh, "He is the best child in the world."

Fang Siqian just sneered after hearing this.

In the distance, dark clouds gradually descended from the sky, and rumbling thunder echoed in the sky.

The reporters quickly packed up their equipment and prepared to leave.

A female reporter answered the phone. "Hey? Do you want to be interviewed by me? Really?...Okay, okay, I'll wait for you backstage."

As the winner of this victory, Fang Siqian turned around and left the venue.

He didn't expect to see someone backstage.

The man was holding a black umbrella and walking towards him in the rain. His facial features were as clear and beautiful as ink painting. Raindrops fell on his shoulders and scattered into tiny crystals.

He raised his eyes and looked over coldly.

Fang Siqian's heart tensed up for a moment, and he even subconsciously felt guilty.

The person guarding the gate was still a YC staff member. He was checking Weibo without looking up, "No Entry". Don't you understand...Shen, Mr. Shen?"

He was shocked for two seconds, then continued to wave his orchid finger, "Even if it's you, I wouldn't..."

"Tied."

"???"

Before the staff member could react, he was pulled away by a slender and powerful arm.

He looked at a familiar face and Pei Ming sneered, "Little white face, I have disliked you for a long time."

There was a loud scream from behind.

Shen Jixing walked over without raising his brows and gently folded the black umbrella that was soaked by rain.

Fang Siqian had been waiting for him there for a long time.

"Long time no see, Mr. Shen."

He clasped his hands over his chest and greeted him calmly.

Their positions are now reversed, and he no longer has to be so cautious when facing this person.

Shen Jixing glanced at him, "Who are you?"

“…”

Fang Si was cracked.

Seeing that Shen Jixing ignored him like air, he finally couldn't help but glance sideways, "What are you pretending for? You must be very angry, right?"

He is the mastermind behind this incident.

A small-time unknown celebrity who had been suppressed by him for six years without any chance of turning around.

Now he can suddenly turn around and kill him.

Shen Jixing seemed to have heard a joke that was not funny.

She walked past him calmly and indifferently, her tone as cold as the snow startled to fall from a cliff.

"You're overthinking it. You don't deserve my anger."

“…”

Fang Siqian watched him walk to the backstage and finally put down his proudly clasped hands. Only then did he realize that his hands were clenched so tightly that they hurt.

"Really?" He sneered, "I don't believe it. Let's wait and see."

Shen Jixing had no interest in the YC celebration this time.

He only came to see Mr. and Mrs. Herbert.

As he reached out to knock on the door, he heard Herbert comforting his tearful wife, "Oh, dear, don't cry... It's not your fault, it was the child who deceived you first."

Shen Jixing lowered his eyes slightly, but still knocked on the door.

Old Herbert opened the door, "Who is this...Nova?"

Although they had not seen each other since they parted, old Herbert knew what he looked like every year.

At first, they asked people about it, but later, they could see his figure on billboards without asking.

He is growing well.

Old Herbert turned around to tell his wife, but Mrs. Herbert had already come to him, "Nova..."

There was a hint of red tears in her grey eyes, and it seemed like she had a lot to say.

But the only thing that came out of my mouth was, "You seem to have lost weight..."

Shen Jixing lowered his eyes indifferently and chuckled, "Maybe."

He walked into the lounge, placed the black umbrella lightly on the side, and looked into Mrs. Herbert's gray eyes that were always fixed on him. "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to China? Are you still used to living here?"

"Most hotel bed sheets are made of polyester cotton. You are allergic to this material. When you stay here, you should..."

Shen Jixing didn't finish his words.

He was hugged tightly.

"Nova." Mrs. Herbert hugged him and sobbed, her voice full of self-blame, "I'm sorry... I didn't know it would be like this."

Shen Jixing was silent for two seconds, then lowered his eyes and hugged her.

She always had a warm and pleasant scent of lavender on her body. Old Herbert knew that she liked purple flowers, so he planted an entire lavender field for her.

"It doesn't matter," he said.

Old Herbert watched quietly at the side, feeling a little sad.

He is still as good as before.

Obedient, well-behaved and sensible.

Her skin was as white as the first snow, her eyes were deep and beautiful obsidian, and she was holding the star doll, looking at them quietly and carefully.

Listen to them describe the future for him.

On snowy winter nights, they would open the fireplace, which would burn wood branches that made warm sounds. Santa Claus would pull his sleigh past the window, leaving a variety of gift boxes on the ground for them.

"Just like this!"

The young silver-haired man pulled out several colorful boxes from his arms like a magic trick.

"But the prerequisite is that Nova must finish the roast chicken prepared by her mother first!"

The black-haired boy's eyes froze, flames flickering in his eyes.

……mother?

Perhaps due to his youthful shyness, he was unable to call out "Mom" at that time.

There was no chance after that.

The boy refused the British-style dress and changed back into the white sweater he wore when he came. He still held his yellow star doll and sat in the car without crying or making any noise.

Before leaving.

He looked out the car window at the apologetic and jealous couple and blessed them with the ancient Chinese romance.

"May you be safe and happy every year."

May every year be peaceful and happy, without illness or disaster.
