Chapter 240 Lu Xiuyuan knew the child wasn't his.
He Xiao frowned slightly, and subconsciously grabbed Chen Shirui's arm to support her.
How are you?
Chen Shirui steadied herself and looked up at He Xiao: "I'm fine."
He Xiao was about to put her hand down when he suddenly noticed a bow-shaped birthmark on her arm and immediately picked her arm up again.
Chen Shirui looked at him strangely: "Sir, what's wrong?"
He Xiao knew it was impolite to stare at a woman's body, but it was too important to him.
"Your birthmark..."
Chen Shirui glanced at it and explained, "Oh, I've had this with me since I was born."
He Xiao put her hand down: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"fine."
Chen Shirui glanced at him and saw that his brows were furrowed. She then looked at the bow-shaped birthmark on his arm and wondered if there was something wrong with it.
She had this birthmark since she was a child, and it was similar to Shen Qianyu's. She wondered at the time why she had a birthmark similar to Shen Qianyu's.
Because among the servants' children, only the two of them were daughters, and the rest were boys, she subconsciously compared herself to Shen Qianyu. Similarly, she assumed that Shen Qianyu was also comparing herself to her.
To her surprise, Shen Qianyu didn't take her seriously at all, which infuriated her.
However, the fact that He Xiao cares so much about it suggests that this birthmark wasn't a waste of time.
Chen Shirui noticed He Xiao going to find Shen Qianyu, and her brows furrowed slightly. Were the two of them on good terms?
However, so what? There are some things that Shen Qianyu cannot control.
When Shen Qianyu saw He Xiao, she smiled and said, "Brother, you're here too. You even added more food for me. You don't need to be so polite."
"Since I ran into you, I added it for you. How is it? Is it good?"
Shen Qianyu smiled and said, "Of course it's delicious. By the way, brother, I happened to run into you today and I wanted to ask you a question."
"Okay, go ahead and say it."
"Do you... really agree to me recognizing your uncle and aunt as my godparents? Of course, you might think that I'm being pretentious after already receiving money, but that's okay. If you don't agree, I will respect your opinion and return the red envelope. Don't worry, I won't make them sad."
He Xiao reached out and placed her hand on her head, gently stroking it with a smile on her face: "What are you thinking about? I like you very much too, and I hope you are my sister."
This scene was witnessed by the woman who had just entered, and she froze on the spot.
Then she turned and left.
Shen Qianyu was relieved to see that he was sincere.
"I've wanted to ask for your opinion before, but I've never been able to meet with you alone. Now that you've said this, I feel relieved."
He Xiao withdrew his hand, thinking of the girl he had just met.
Although she had a birthmark on her arm similar to Shen Qianyu's, the world is so big that not every girl with such a birthmark is his sister.
Even so, it seems he prefers Shen Qianyu to that girl.
However, He Xiao decided to investigate further and was determined not to miss any opportunity.
He Xiao left, and Shen Qianyu sat down again.
Yun Shu looked at her with a smile: "I don't know why, but I always feel that you and He Xiao look very similar. I would find it strange if you two were not really related."
Shen Qianyu shook her head with a helpless smile: "How could we be family? I'm already very happy that the He family is willing to let me be their child. I don't dare to hope for too much."
"By the way, Tang Ning and your adoptive parents haven't been contacting you lately."
"Hmm, let's not look anymore. I guess they understood what I said the last few times."
Yun Shu was very happy for her. Before, she had been annoyed by those people who kept coming to find Shen Qianyu.
They had just finished eating and were walking back when they saw Fu Chengyu.
Yun Shu couldn't help but laugh: "I came to find you."
Shen Qianyu glanced at Fu Chengyu, who was holding flowers in his hand and looking at her with a smile.
"elder sister."
Shen Qianyu frowned.
Fu Chengyu quickly walked over and presented her with the flowers he was holding.
"Sister, this is for you."
"Fu Chengyu, don't spend money, I don't like flowers."
Fu Chengyu was neither angry nor sad: "Does my sister not like flowers, or does she not like the flowers I gave her?"
"You're very smart, so there are some things you shouldn't ask."
“It’s okay. We were strangers before. It’s normal that you don’t like me, but I still have to try, right? If it doesn’t work in one year, or two, I can continue to pursue it for many years.”
"Fu Chengyu, there's no need for that."
"That's your idea, not mine."
Fu Chengyu didn't mind giving the flowers in his hand directly to the people on the roadside.
"It's okay. I don't know enough about my sister's preferences either, but I will try my best to understand them."
Shen Qianyu: "..."
Just when she was having a terrible headache, Fu Yanci's phone call saved her life.
She answered the phone and was about to go aside to take the call when she suddenly remembered something and said to Fu Chengyu, "My husband is calling."
Fu Chengyu always had a smile on his face.
Yun Shu looked at him strangely: "Didn't you hear me?"
"Did you hear that? This is the best excuse a woman uses to reject a man. If I can't even see that, how am I supposed to pursue you?"
Yun Shu: "...But she really did get married!"
Fu Chengyu smiled at Yun Shu: "I know you two are good friends, it's perfectly normal for you to speak up for her."
Yun Shu: "..."
Shen Qianyu went to the side to answer the phone. On the other end, Fu Yanci said to her, "The prison just called me and said that the scarred man has remembered some very important evidence. Through this evidence, we found the mastermind behind it all."
Shen Qianyu's heart suddenly tightened: "Who is it?"
"Lin Wantang".
Shen Qianyu suddenly remembered that she had run into Lin Wantang outside the prison that day. She should have realized that the way Lin Wantang looked at her was strange. She should have realized it sooner, but it was only now that they connected the dots.
"Then it must be related to Lin Weixia in prison."
"Yes, I have already had someone investigate and found that Lin Wantang has been frequently appearing in prison recently. The two of them must have reached a consensus."
Shen Qianyu's hands were already clenched into fists.
The two sisters conspired to frame her. Very good, very good indeed.
What are your plans?
"Didn't we call the police? Let the police handle it."
"good."
On the other side.
Just as Lu Xiuyuan finished meeting with his client and was about to leave, he saw a man pulling and tugging at Lin Wantang.
He hadn't paid any attention at first, but then he heard the man say to Lin Wantang:
“I don’t care. If Lin Weixia doesn’t care about me, then you have to. Otherwise, I’ll tell you that the child in her belly is mine.”
Lu Xiuyuan felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water; he was ice-cold from head to toe.
