Chapter 399 - Twin Sisters!
Chapter 399: Twin Sisters!
Although it was just a glimpse, Shen Xi was sure that the woman Fu Qingli was escorting had a face identical to Li Jingran’s.
Shen Xi did not know what was going on. Hundreds of thoughts went through her mind for a moment. However, she quickly regained her senses.
That woman’s temperament was demure, which was completely different from Li Jingran. If Shen Xi guessed correctly, that woman was probably Li Jingran’s twin sister.
However, she had never heard anyone from the Li family mentioning Li Jingran having a twin sister.
Li Jingran’s parents were only interested in profit. If they had a daughter who was related to the Fu family, they would have been ecstatic and told the whole world about it.
Since Shen Xi saw this, Li Yuan naturally saw it too. He looked back at her and an unconcealed surprise on her face. “Xixi.”
Shen Xi returned to her senses and answered absentmindedly as she pushed the wheelchair forward.
What Fu Qingli once said echoed in her ears. He told her that she should be glad that she had her face. Back then, Shen Xi had no idea what he meant by that, but now she had an inkling.
That woman who looked like Li Jingran must be someone very important to the Fu brothers. Shen Xi was bold to guess that she must be their mother.
Li Yuan knew what was on Shen Xi’s mind and said, “That’s Fu Qingli. I’ll help you to investigate the person next to him.”
Shen Xi did not expect him to see it too and quickly said, “Brother, no need.”
She did not want to investigate them because she did not want to get involved with Fu Qingli. If he found out that she investigated him secretly, he would probably kill her.
Li Yuan asked, “Are you afraid of him?”
“Who… Who’s afraid of him?!” Shen Xi stammered as she quickly retorted, “I’m not afraid of him! I just don’t want unnecessary trouble.”
“With me around, you don’t have to be afraid of him.” Li Yuan listened to the girl’s somewhat flustered explanation and knew she was just trying to cover up her emotions.
If he was not mistaken, that woman was the Fu brothers’ mother. She looked identical to Li Jingran and he would not be surprised if they were twins.
That meant his girl was related to the Fu family.
Fu Qingli had an extremely bad character. He was tough and treated outsiders mercilessly, so he must have bullied his girl.
Li Yuan wanted to get revenge sooner or later.
Since Shen Xi saw them, she could not control the thoughts in her head. It was just one glimpse, but it felt like she had been imprinted in her mind. Even her gentle smile became clearer.
Li Yuan was mindful that Shen Xi had to do something urgently, so he sent her to Fu Qingxuan’s medical laboratory immediately.
Fu Qingxuan received news of her arrival and had been waiting at the entrance to meet her. The moment the car door opened, he saw Li Yuan and immediately looked hostile. He was on alert and wary. He had never liked Li Yuan because of his bad reputation.
This man had no limits and was his big brother’s most hated enemy. Fu Qingli, who had always been emotionless, started cursing as soon as he got home after dealing with Li Yuan. Thus, Fu Qingxuan concluded that Li Yuan must be a horrible person.
“Lil Young Master.” Shen Xi was happy to see Fu Qingxuan. After all, they had not met since the New Year, so she waved at him.
Fu Qingxuan’s eyes lit up but his hostility towards Li Yuan remained unabated. After glaring at Li Yuan with displeasure, he pulled Shen Xi. “Why did you bring him?!”
Shen Xi lowered her voice. “He’s on a business trip. I didn’t get to buy a ticket, so I hitched a ride on his private jet.”
Fu Qingxuan cast a sidelong glance at Li Yuan with a cold and sullen face. He deliberately increased his volume. “My lab doesn’t allow any irrelevant people to enter!”
Li Yuan had always known that the Fu brothers, besides the sensible Fu Qingye, were all bad-tempered.
The youngest one, who was extremely protective of his family, probably heard something from his eldest brother, so he was hostile towards him too.
Li Yuan did not even look at Fu Qingxuan and looked at Shen Xi only. “Call me when you’re done. I’ll come and pick you up.”
Fu Qingxuan provoked him and did not expect to be ignored, so he felt vexed, but he could not vent it. He looked at Shen Xi and winked at her, threatening her to stand on his side.
Shen Xi paid no mind to Fu Qingxuan and nodded at Li Yuan with smiling eyes. “Okay!”
Fu Qingxuan was speechless.
‘F*ck! This ungrateful meanie! Can I go back on my word and not let her into my lab?!’
At that moment, Toffeecito suddenly popped out its small head from behind Li Yuan and meowed at him.
Fu Qingxuan recognized Toffeecito because he had played with the kitten during the New Year at the Shen family home. He did not expect it to be so big now and called out, “Toffeecito!”
Li Yuan grabbed the cat by its neck and blocked Fu Qingxuan’s view.
Fu Qingxuan was annoyed and muttered, “F*ck!”
When Shen Xi heard this, she was dumbfounded. ‘When did this guy start cursing? Who did he learn it from?’
Fu Qingxuan clenched his teeth. He could not do anything to Li Yuan, so he went closer to Shen Xi and whispered threateningly, “Bring Toffeecito here!”
Just as he said this, Fu Qingxuan saw the car door was already closed. In the next moment, the car flashed before his eyes and left them without a trace.
“F*ck!” This time, Fu Qingxuan finally could not hold back and cursed out loud. ‘That *sshole is so arrogant!’
Shen Xi looked at him with contempt. “Lil Young Master, aren’t you afraid of being scolded by your big brother?”
Fu Qingxuan looked at her as he warned her, “Don’t tell my big brother!”
Shen Xi said in a serious tone, “You shouldn’t mix with Pei Xu so much. He’s just a bad influence on you.”
Fu Qingxuan looked at her in confusion. “How do you know it’s Pei Xu?”
Shen Xi looked at him like he was retarded. “Who else but him?”
Fu Qingxuan righteously said, “You don’t need to care about our manly business!”
Shen Xi looked down on him. “Why do you only learn the bad things? If I have the opportunity to meet your brother, I’ll tell him about this!”
Fu Qingxuan was anxious and chased after her. His tone was threatening. “Do you still want to enter my lab?!”
Shen Xi rolled her eyes at him. “Why are you so nervous? I don’t wanna see your big brother anyway.”
Fu Qingxuan was relieved. His big brother was prejudiced against Shen Xi and this girl disliked his big brother too. This time, only he knew about her arrival.
The two of them walked towards the laboratory together.
Quite a few people were going in and out of the lab. The medical experts who usually chose to ignore whatever they see could not help but look at Shen Xi twice when they saw her.
