Chapter 560: Could Not Help but Think About His Sister

Since birth parents were a touchy subject to Shangguan Yanqiu, she turned her gaze to Yu Yuanxi.
The young man was good-looking, had charisma, and carried himself with humility and good manners. She did not know who he was, nor had she heard about him from her son. Nevertheless, Shangguan Yanqiu could tell that her son knew him.
Yun Jinping was stumped as to how to explain.
Before Shen Zhangqing and Shen Xi could speak, Yu Yuanxi was a step ahead and calmly relayed the fact. “I am Shen Zhifei. Mr. and Mrs. Shen’s biological son.”
Yun Jinping was moved to tears to hear it from Yu Yuanxi’s mouth. If only he called them Mom and Dad instead, then she would be happier.
Shen Zhangqing was pleased but was a little let down by the form of address. However, he knew that he should give the boy more time to organize his thoughts and accept the fact. There was no hurry for Yu Yuanxi to call them Mom and Dad now that Shen Zhangqing found his son.
Shen Xi curled her lips in delight. She was worried at first that Yu Yuanxi would be irked and mad to admit to it. Shen Xi was finally relieved by the response.
He probably needed time before he could say those magic words but at least he had accepted the fact. Yu Yuanxi was too sensible, gentle, and nice to put everyone in the spot.
Sitting beside Shen Xi, Song Wenye stealthily tugged at her and secretly smiled to herself. Yu Yuanxi was pretty susceptible to change.
This was the way it was supposed to be anyway. Mr. and Mrs. Shen were good people and Xixi was also the best sister. What more could he ask for?
He was kidnapped by human traffickers when he was young. It was not that Mr. and Mrs. Shen did not want him. Both Mr. and Mrs. Shen never gave up looking for him.
If only Mr. and Mrs. Shen could be her parents too. It was a blessing to have such parents.
“Congrats.” Fu Qingxuan sincerely wished him well. He then looked at Yun Jinping and Shen Zhangqing. “Mr. and Mrs. Shen, congratulations. This is great news.”
He was happy for them as nothing was more worthwhile than this moment. Still, it did not stop a heartbreaking pain from overtaking every inch of his being.
Fu Qingxuan knew that he should not behave like this on such a joyous occasion, but he could not help but think about his sister. When was his sister’s turn to be found?
With her eyes welling up, Shangguan Yanqiu smiled tenderly at them. “Congratulations.”
She had more knowledge about Xixi and the Su family than about the Shen family.
Ye only mentioned that Xixi’s adoptive parents were nice and kind people. He never told her that they also had a son who went missing since little.
The Fu mother and son appeared genuine in their well-wishes, but Yun Jinping believed they must feel down. Since there were no right words for this situation, she changed the subject. “You must be hungry. Let’s dig in before the food gets cold.”
She had found her son and would have a very, very long time to spend with him. There was no need to reflect their excessive joy in front of the brokenhearted.
“Yes, let’s eat,” Shen Zhangqing hosted. Picking a piece of rib for Yun Jinping, he grinned at her. “Eat.”
With their flesh and blood found, the burden he had carried for over a decade was lifted at last. Even if death was upon him, he could go in peace.
The dishes were local specialties and tasted great. It was expected from a restaurant with culinary skills dating back a century. However, Fu Qingxuan could taste nothing of that sort.
He was filled with regret. Had he known that this was a family reunion, he could never drag his mom over here.
Shangguan Yanqiu did not seem out of place. She was genuinely happy for the parents and child to be reunited. There was nothing better than this.
She believed that they would soon find their little girl. They would find her however long it took.
Shen Xi understood that Fu Qingxuan and Madam Fu must be going through a lot right now. Even so, she did not know how to make them feel better. She might make things worse if she said something.
Song Wenye, the life of the party, came to great use. Sure, she lived in a world of her own, but there were times she played a sensitive soul. She put herself out there by talking about the embarrassing incidents she got into lately and anything interesting that happened to her girl group.
National Idol was a hit worldwide. Everyone present had kept up with the show, including Fu Qingxuan and Shangguan Yanqiu.
The show was broadcast around the time Fu Qingxuan was recuperating from the car accident. Since Song Wenye was on the program and he had nothing to do with the spare time in his hands, he dragged Shangguan Yanqiu to follow the show closely. Shangguan Yanqiu was familiar with the people Song Wenye mentioned in her stories.
“What is Mr. Xixi doing lately?” Shangguan Yanqiu asked Song Wenye. Her favorite was Mr. Xixi.
Mr. Xixi had a similar temperament to Xuan when he was serious. Some gestures and expressions of Mr. Xixi also reminded her of her son. If he was not a young man, Shangguan Yanqiu would find him and ask for a DNA test.

Shen Xi stopped eating and lowered her gaze before turning her attention back to her food.
“Madam Fu, did you watch the show as well?” Song Wenye was surprised that Shangguan Yanqiu would watch National Idol. She felt smug about it. “Are we famous abroad as well?”
Shangguan Yanqiu nodded with a smile. The bubbly and adorable girl performed well on the show. She took to the girl and all the girls who made it to the end. What was there not to like about youthful and hardworking children?
Her little girl was around their age as well. While watching the show, Shangguan Yanqiu would imagine how it would be like if her Lil’ Xi had joined the show.
Song Wenye was so proud of herself. Having no information about Mr. Xixi, she regrettably answered, “Is Mr. Xixi your favorite? I don’t have his contact details. None of us do. We can’t find him, but you know, he’s a secretive person.”
Mr. Xixi had more fans than the rest of them who made their debut. At the end of the day, talent was what mattered.
Since the show came to an end, Mr. Xixi had never made another appearance. No one knew where he was. No one could track him either.
The media and press staked out around the office every day in hopes to locate Mr. Xixi. Alas, nobody was able to run into him.
“Really? I really want to meet him.” Shangguan Yanqiu smiled. Not one to force someone’s hand, she planned to get Ye to ask around. Of course, she was not going to bother Mr.. Xixi if he were to turn down her request for a meetup.
