Chapter 254 is about a couple.
Shen Qianyu didn't care, but what exactly happened in the whole process?
He Xiao asked, "Has she always had that birthmark on her arm?"
Shen Qianyu nodded: "Yes, when we were little, they even said we were sisters because we have very similar birthmarks."
He Xiao had initially thought that Chen Shirui might not be the culprit, since test results could be faked, but after hearing her say that, it couldn't be fake.
The He family remained silent.
Shen Qianyu was unaware of what was going on. Remembering that she had taken their money, she quickly said, "Oh right, I need to transfer the money back to you."
Mrs. He reached out to stop her.
"Qianyu, what are you doing? Aren't you insulting us? We never said we wouldn't acknowledge you as our goddaughter. We just can't hold a family reunion. The money is yours now that it's given to you. Even if you're not our biological daughter, we still treat you like one. Even your brother said that you can still come to us if you need anything in the future. If you really return it to us, we'll definitely be angry."
Shen Qianyu saw self-blame, pain, and regret in their eyes, a mixture of emotions.
They probably wished she could be their family even more than she did.
Shen Qianyu didn't stand on ceremony with them: "Okay, then I won't give it to you."
"No need to give, no need to give."
Shen Qianyu frowned: "But to be honest with you, I don't get along with Chen Shirui. She probably doesn't want me to get close to you. Let's see each other less in the future."
Madam He hugged Shen Qianyu tightly: "Qianyu, it really hurts me to see you sacrifice so much for us. We were the ones who provoked you first, and you did nothing, yet you still..."
Shen Qianyu smiled and said, "It's alright. You've already given me the warmth of a family, and I'm very happy."
"You child..."
It's so heartbreaking!
Madam He could tell that Shen Qianyu also desperately wanted her to be part of their family, but unfortunately...
Why not?
Fu Yanci frowned: "Are you really sure Chen Shirui is your daughter?"
At this point, he realized he shouldn't have said that and quickly explained, "I just feel that she doesn't resemble you at all. Even Qianyu has a birthmark similar to your daughter's. Besides, there are so many people in the world, who knows what might happen? Is it possible that there was a problem with the tracing?"
Madam He and He Lanzhi looked at He Xiao.
He Xiao frowned: "It shouldn't be. I had it tested at the testing center."
That's the most authoritative place, and besides, there's nothing wrong with it from beginning to end, so it shouldn't be wrong.
Fu Yanci wanted to say something more, but Shen Qianyu grabbed his hand from below, signaling him not to continue.
Fu Yanci glanced at her, and indeed didn't say anything more.
After the meal, I said goodbye to the He family.
Fu Yanci looked at Shen Qianyu: "Why won't you let me speak?"
“Since it’s something they’ve decided on, there’s no point in saying anything. Besides, I’m not really a member of the He family, so I can’t help much. They finally found their daughter, so we should be happy for them.”
"I'm worried that some bad people might take advantage of this loophole."
"The He family is so powerful, and He Xiao is also very capable, it won't happen."
Logically speaking, it shouldn't happen, but what if it does?
After all, the Lu family had been involved in his investigation. If Chen Shirui was the daughter of the He family, then the Lu family could gain access to the He family, which would be beneficial to the Lu family.
It seems he will continue his investigation to see what really happened.
Shen Qianyu was very sad. It wasn't that she cared about being a member of the He family; she just wanted to find her biological parents, but where were they?
Or is it really as she thinks, that they don't actually care about her that much?
On the way back, Shen Qianyu told Yun Shu about it.
Yun Shu exclaimed in shock, "Really? Chen Shirui is actually the daughter of the He family? This is outrageous!"
"Whether it's outrageous or not doesn't matter. What matters is that they will soon acknowledge Chen Shirui, and I won't be as close to the He family anymore."
Yun Shu looked at her sadly: "I was hoping that you would meet someone who truly loves you and let you enjoy the warmth of home, but what a tragedy, this has happened again."
Shen Qianyu shook her head helplessly: "Maybe this is my fate."
"By the way, let me tell you, yesterday Lu Xiuyuan knelt in front of my apartment building, hoping I could tell him where you live now. I told him that even if he dies one day, you won't care and you won't tell him."
Shen Qianyu nodded: "I really don't care anymore. There's absolutely no hope between us."
"But he looked really upset. You can't believe he deserved it. He already knew he liked you, and he still did this. He brought it on himself."
Shen Qianyu was unwilling to talk about Lu Xiuyuan. That past relationship had been completely severed the moment he hit her.
Yun Shu could see it too, but didn't say anything more.
To Yun Shu's surprise, Zhou Qianzhong came to see her after work.
Would it be convenient for us to have a meal together?
Yun Shu frowned: "It's not very convenient."
"Yes, I was abrupt. I didn't call you to make an appointment before coming to see you."
Yun Shu looked at him strangely: "Did you need something from me?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to chat with you."
Yun Shu looked puzzled: "We shouldn't be that familiar with each other, why are you looking for me... to chat?"
"Do you want to know about your mother?"
Yun Shu's body stiffened.
Twenty minutes later, Yun Shu sent a message to her mother, then sat nervously opposite Zhou Qianzhong, waiting for him to speak.
Zhou Qianzhong asked her to order, but Yun Shu felt awkward about ordering because she wasn't familiar with him, so she said, "Mr. Zhou, you should order."
Zhou Qianzhong understood and then made a note of it.
When the waiter came over to take orders, Zhou Qianzhong said, "Don't put scallions in these dishes. By the way, do you eat scallions?"
Yun Shu shook her head: "I won't eat."
Zhou Qianzhong nodded and then mentioned some points to note.
Yun Shu didn't think anything of it. There are plenty of people who don't like scallions or garlic; it's perfectly normal.
What worries her now is whether Zhou Qianzhong knows about her mother's situation, or if he's deliberately deceiving her. But what would he be after?
"So you don't eat scallions either."
Zhou Qianzhong looked at her with a smile.
Yun Shu got straight to the point: "Mr. Zhou, I don't have much time. I lied to my mother about coming out. To be honest, I feel really bad about it. Please help me explain."
Zhou Qianzhong nodded: "Your mother and I are from the past; we used to be lovers."
Yun Shu was shocked. She had considered all sorts of possibilities, but she never imagined that he and her mother were actually lovers.
