Chapter 63 - Listening In, Anger
Chapter 63: Listening In, Anger
Shen Jinwen didn’t really want to stay here, but he didn’t know where to move to, so he asked Xiaoxiao.
“Make the arrangements tomorrow. You rest first.”
…
As soon as Gu Yuehua returned to the old house, she told Liu Qianmin everything she had seen.
Liu Qianmin knew how to specialize, and he was very shrewd. Back then, for the sake of the Shen family’s business, he could even let his wife marry Shen Jinhe. Such a person was like a poisonous snake. Once he bit someone, he would never let go unless he poisoned them to death.
Therefore, when Liu Qianmin heard Gu Yuehua’s words, he felt that it was not that simple.
Shen Jinwen had no children. Why would such a young girl look for him? It was hard for him to believe that it was not Shen Xiaoxiao.
However, he felt that the name ‘Lin Weiwei’ was very familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but he could not recall it at the moment.
At this moment, Liu Yufei returned from outside. When Liu Qianmin saw that his precious daughter had returned, he temporarily put the matter aside and said to Liu Yufei, “Why did Yufei come back so late? Have you eaten? Your mother made your favorite white-cut chicken today, but it’s a pity that you’re not home.”
“Dad, Mom, why are you still awake? I already said that I would be late. Today is Pei Meimei’s birthday. Of course I have to go.”
“Meimei is still throwing a tantrum with you? Did she make you angry again?”
Gu Yuehua looked at her precious daughter worriedly. Ever since she came back from the states, Pei Meimei had been very rude to Yufei. She had scolded Yufei on several important occasions.
These adults only laughed and said that children were throwing tantrums. However, they knew very well that they could not offend the Pei family. Instead, they had to maintain a good relationship with them.
Therefore, when they heard that their daughter was with Pei Meimei, they were naturally worried that their daughter, who was in their hands, would lower herself to others.
However, Pei Meimei did not seem to care and said, “Mom, how easy is it for that little lass, Pei Meimei, to be coaxed? Just a branded handbag can make her happy again. Don’t worry.”
“It has been hard on my precious daughter. Don’t worry. After our cooperation with the Pei family is successful, not only will Shen Enterprise change its name to Liu Enterprise, even the Pei family cannot kick us away just like that.”
“One day, I will definitely make the Pei family rush over to beg us. Daughter, I will definitely help you get back what you have suffered today. Didn’t you take a fancy to a new bracelet yesterday? Tomorrow, let your mother buy it for you as an early birthday present.”
“Really? Thank you, Father, thank you, Mother!”
The family was happy and harmonious. On this end, Shen Xiaoxiao couldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard she lay on the bed.
She didn’t know whether it was because of the jet lag or the change of environment, but for the first time, Shen Xiaoxiao, who had always slept well, tasted the taste of insomnia.
This day was really like a war. She had never thought that she would see Gu Yuehua so soon, nor did she think that she would be so calm when she saw Gu Yuehua. She treated her as a stranger and used another identity to face her.
What was funny was that Gu Yuehua had completely forgotten about her just like in her previous life. She did not remember what she looked like at all.
She still remembered that in her previous life, when she and Third Uncle returned to the country, Gu Yuehua had gone to the bathroom and left. When she arrived at the airport, she actually thought that the girl next to Third Uncle who asked for directions was her. She even acted out a good show with deep affection.
At that time, she had only treated it as if she had not seen her for too long. It was normal for her mother to forget about her. However, after experiencing too much later, after Third Uncle recognized her at a glance, she realized that Gu Yuehua had really never taken her to heart. Otherwise, how could she not remember her?
There was also that Second Master Xin. Actually, Shen Xiaoxiao knew him. After Third Uncle’s death, she was reminded by Third Uncle to use the Shen family’s funds to buy the shares in Second Master Xin’s hands in an attempt to restructure the Shen family. What did Second Master Xin say at that time?
He said:
“Just an ingrate like you wants to flip the deck? Forget it, I’m afraid that after you bought my shares, your head will heat up and you’ll give them to that good mother of yours.”
“Although I, Second Master Xin, don’t fancy those shares, I can’t let my old friend’s efforts go down the drain. On the other hand, you really have completely inherited Gu Yuehua’s seed. Without a conscience, without a brain, you’re an idiot. The Shen family is hopeless…”
Later on, she was chased out of Second Master Xin’s door. However, she never blamed Second Master Xin because everything he said was right. Every word he said was similar to pulling off a layer of her clothes and placing her in the middle of the crowd. It made her feel ashamed.
Later on, just as Second Master Xin said, she could not hold on and was destined to fail to hold on to the Shen family’s estate.
However, in this life, everything was different. The mansion that should have belonged to the Shen family was now occupied by that adulterous couple. She, Shen Xiaoxiao, had to chase them out and drive them out of the Shen family’s territory.
…
It was another day of heavy snow. Many companies had closed their doors and closed their businesses. This year’s snow was the biggest in more than ten years.
Shen Xiaoxiao sat in front of the ward and looked at Grandma Lin, who had not woken up after the operation. She was a little worried. After all, she was old and her recovery was not as fast as ordinary people.
She asked the nurse to watch her 24 hours a day. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the time, took her coat, and gave a few instructions to the nurse. Then, she got up and walked out of the hospital.
“Miss Lin, this is the only villa in the vicinity. This area belongs to the old villa area. The design style is indeed a little outdated. The seller bought a new villa on the shore of the East Lake, so they sold the one here.”
“However, this area is not bad. The environment is quiet and the owner is very good. Moreover, this villa is not big. It is more than enough for Miss Lin to live alone.”
Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at the original Shen family mansion, which was only separated from this villa by a man-made lake. The Liu family mansion, which was now renamed… She had an inexplicable expression.
“What about that one over there? It seems to be much better.”
Shen Xiaoxiao deliberately pointed at the Shen family mansion in the distance. The agent followed Shen Xiaoxiao’s gaze and looked over. He immediately smiled and said, “Miss Lin, are you talking about the Liu family mansion? I haven’t heard that they have any plans to sell it. However, I’ve heard from our seniors that they had some plans a few years ago, but it seems that they didn’t sell it because of property rights issues.”
“Property rights?”
“Yes, let me tell you. I was eavesdropping on what my senior said. It seems that the name of the missing eldest daughter of the Shen family is written on the property rights, so they have no way to transfer the ownership.”
“Miss Lin, did you know? That Liu residence used to be the Shen residence. After the wife’s husband died, she remarried. It is said that she hired a chauffeur and changed her name to the Liu residence. That CEO Liu really has a good life.”
The small agency was rather gossipy. From the looks of it, there seemed to be a hint of envy on his face.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao was shocked by this gossip. She didn’t expect that it was because of the property rights. This house was under her name? When did this happen? Why didn’t she know about it in her previous life?
In her previous life, the Liu family could be considered to be relatively rich. Why didn’t they ever think of moving? Wasn’t it a simple matter to buy a new villa?
This reason was definitely not simple.
Shen Xiaoxiao’s purchase of the villa did not succeed in the end. After all, she needed to properly investigate the Shen family mansion.
In the end, she chose a residential area not far from her Third Uncle’s house. It was just a street away from the school district.
Yes, it was the school district. It was close to the capital’s number one university. The houses here were not cheap, but Shen Xiaoxiao’s age was displayed there. Regardless of whether it was Lin Weiwei or Shen Xiaoxiao, they were both young girls who were still studying.
No matter how one looked at it, this age was the right age to study. In this life, Third Uncle also hoped that Shen Xiaoxiao could enter a university to further her studies. After all, Shen Xiaoxiao had not learned anything in the eleven years she had been abroad.
Third Uncle used his connections to make Shen Xiaocheng think that she was an audit student in the Department of Business Administration of the Capital University. She was also a certified audit student.
She didn’t need to live on campus, didn’t have a degree, and didn’t have to deal with exams and roll call. She only needed to learn knowledge. This was feasible for Shen Xiaoxiao.
Third Uncle didn’t move out. They were still worried that if they moved out rashly, they would start investigating Lin Weiwei’s identity. That would make them stop trying. The best way was to do this now. Shen Xiaoxiao would move out by herself. She would move to a place not far from Third Uncle. That way, it would be convenient for Third Uncle to come over and take care of her at any time.
…
In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass of the hotel room, he stared at the flashing neon lights downstairs. The red wine cup in his hand swayed faintly. Yan Kuan looked at this city that he had not seen for many years. He swallowed the red wine in his hand in frustration.
“Boss, Miss An Ning called and said that she wants to meet you. She happens to be filming in Country M.”
The guard respectfully reported the news to Yan Kuan. He did not dare to look up. After returning to China, his Boss’ temper seemed to be particularly violent.
“No.”
Sure enough, he knew that this was the result and immediately left respectfully. Just as he walked to the door, he heard a cold voice ask, “Any news about Miss?”
The hidden guard was stunned. “Miss? He was talking about Miss Lin Weiwei. Boss really cared about this Miss Lin Weiwei. It seemed that he had made the right bet this time.
However, this Miss Lin really knew how to hide like a mouse. It had been almost a month, and they still hadn’t found her.
“Boss, we compared the eardrums of all the people who entered and left China in the past month, and we did find a figure.”
“It was on the night of the 27th of last month, a flight from Spain to China. It looked like Miss, but by the time our people arrived, the Miss had already ditched us.”
“In other words, it has been a week and you still haven’t found a trace of her? When did my hidden guards find someone so useless? Go to the Punishment Hall yourself.”
The hidden guard’s heart trembled and he immediately said, “Yes.”
“You must find out where she is within three days. Otherwise, scram back to the base and don’t come out for half a year.”
This decision made the hidden guard’s legs go soft. Return to the base? No, up until now, no one could stay in the base for more than a month. The various training there would drive people crazy. It seemed that it was better to hurry up and find the young lady. Sigh… What bad luck.
