Chapter 289 - 289 206 More than Twenty Years Ago_3

Chapter 289: Chapter 206: More than Twenty Years Ago_3 Chapter 289: Chapter 206: More than Twenty Years Ago_3 But upon closer inspection, Wenrou seemed to have mentioned at the end of the letter that she had also sent some money, which dissuaded Chengcai from returning the letter.

In the end, he didn’t dwell on this matter for long because his creditor quickly found his way to his door.

Once he had left home to avoid trouble, he was gone for several years, and by the time he returned, his third brother’s father had already passed away from illness, and Jinghe had disappeared without a trace. Thus, Chengcai never mentioned the letter to Jinghe’s mother, nor the fact that Jinghe had a daughter living outside.

He thought if Wenrou really wanted to find Jinghe, she knew the address and could have easily done so.

If she didn’t come looking, then she must have married someone else, and besides, it was possible that the child wasn’t even Jinghe’s.

As time went on, something happened to Jinghe, and upon his return, he seemed to have become a different person.

It was said that he also searched for Wenrou, but it appeared that Wenrou had died and was deregistered decades ago.

As for the daughter she mentioned in the letter, she simply didn’t exist in the public security system. Chengcai never brought it up with Jinghe.

But now…

A female celebrity named Wenyan, in her twenties, with a small, bird-shaped red birthmark on her lower back, and her eyes and brows bore some resemblance to Jinghe before his disfigurement.

All these coincidences piled up, sparking life into Chengcai’s thoughts.

Now, taking out Wenrou’s old photo from Jinghe’s treasured box to look at it again, well, the celebrity’s nose and mouth did bear some resemblance to Wenrou’s.

Could it be that the celebrity named Wenyan happened to be Jinghe and Wenrou’s daughter?

When Shen Jinghe drove back to the Shen Family villa, it was almost dawn.

The group had just entered when they encountered Shen Jingxiu coming downstairs in his pajamas.

With their eight eyes meeting, Shen Jingxiu’s brows furrowed slightly at the sight of Wenyan and the others’ attire.

“Dressed like this, are you heading out to film? When did you come back, I wasn’t aware.”

Wenyan: “…Big brother, it’s rare to see you mistaken, we’ve just returned.”

Shen Jingxiu took another look at the three of them: “Coming back at this time, and all three of you together? Come, sit down and tell me what happened.”

“Ah?” What Wenyan feared most now was hearing this, “I should’ve recorded it when I was telling Jingchuan in the car, what a shame my phone was about to die, a miscalculation indeed.”

Shen Jingchuan: “Don’t look at me, I lost my phone.”

At this moment, Shen Jinghe silently took out his phone: “I recorded it.”

“That’s great! Long live recordings. But I’m so sleepy now, look at these dark circles almost falling down to my chin, I really want to sleep.”

“Then go sleep. I’m also one of the involved parties, I can tell big brother myself.”

Wenyan nodded vigorously: “Jingchuan, Jinghe, I love you both so much, I’ll go upstairs first then. Oh, and let’s not let mom and dad know about this for now, they must already be overwhelmed with Yulong’s situation.”

Shen Jingchuan waved her off: “If you’re going to sleep, then stop worrying, we’ve got it under control.”

Shen Jingxiu also spoke at this moment: “Go get some rest.”

–

After grasping the full story, Shen Jingxiu’s lips curled into a cold smirk.

“Again with the metal box, after decades, the Fu Family’s tricks remain the same.”

“What?!” Shen Jingchuan finally understood, he glanced at the eldest and then at the second brother, “So, the kidnapping we experienced as kids was the work of the Fu Family? I knew you two were kept in a confined space for a long time, I thought it was a wardrobe or something, but it turns out it was a metal box.”

No wonder Jinghe had such a grim expression in the car earlier when this topic came up; it had touched on a psychological scar.

Shen Jingchuan was pissed.

“Dammit, those damn Fus, they’ve always been a disgusting bunch. The old man went easy on them back then, we can’t be soft-hearted again, or else they’ll think they can push the Shen Family around.”

“Exactly.” Rarely, Shen Jinghe wholeheartedly agreed with Shen Jingchuan’s view.

Shen Jingchuan glanced at him: “Don’t try to join the fray here, what can you do with your status, you might bring the house down just by lighting a cigarette! I think you and Wenyan should stay out of this, we have big brother and me. Right, big brother?”

Shen Jingxiu nodded: “That’s correct, you should rest as well, Jinghe. Our brotherhood has already been strained for many years due to what happened in the past, let me handle this matter. The outcome back then can’t be blamed on dad since it was all grandfather’s doing.”
