After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 576 - 369: _2

If someone overheard us through the walls, that would be disastrous.

Xia Minjun didn’t dare to say more, as she quickly patted Su Kangrong’s shoulder, playfully chiding him even though they were both over 50, "Kangrong, I’m doing this for our family. Mengshu has also sacrificed so much for our family. Once that old man from the Shu Family is gone and Mengshu secures her position in the Shu Family, she’ll have shares in the Shu Family. Won’t it all be ours then?"

Su Kangrong was now sober and took his coat, leaving behind just two sentences for Xia Minjun to finish hosting the celebration banquet before she left.

Not half an hour after Su Kangrong left, Xia Minjun’s phone rang. It was one of her private detectives. The detective reported that Su Kangrong had gone to his mistress’s place, infuriating Xia Minjun to the point where she smashed the plate in front of her on the spot.

Everyone around was startled.

Tang Xi took two hours off in the afternoon to visit Shen Qinglin in the hospital.

Shen Qinglin could now move around freely, although she still bore the traumas from the accident and often needed to rest.

When she arrived, Mai En was accompanying Shen Qinglin for a walk in the garden downstairs.

Seeing Tang Xi, Mai En waved excitedly, "Over here!"

Tang Xi walked over and looked at Shen Qinglin, "Auntie Shen, how are you feeling now?"

She naturally took Shen Qinglin’s other arm, and Shen Qinglin patted her hand, "I really should thank you. I heard it was you who saved me."

"It’s good that you’re okay, Auntie Shen."

But Shen Qinglin held onto Tang Xi’s hand tightly, looking into her face, "Tell auntie, what is the name of the orphanage director who adopted you?"

Shen Qinglin had asked Tang Xi this question once before when she was in North Island.

But at that time, Tang Xi was wary and did not disclose it.

Now, she hesitated slightly, "Her name is Tang Jingyun."

Shen Qinglin was taken aback, whispering, "Tang Jingyun."

Suddenly, her pupils shook violently.

Because back when she was in prison, a female guard told her that her daughter was taken away by an orphanage director surnamed Tang and looked very promising.

She clutched Tang Xi’s wrist fiercely.

Her voice trembled as she spoke, "Tang Xi, let me take a good look at you!"

Mai En and Tang Xi both sensed Shen Qinglin’s agitation.

Mai En, having people investigating Tang Xi’s identity, had not received a precise answer yet, and knew that Shen Qinglin had been searching for her daughter for over twenty years. Any slight resemblance would excite Shen Qinglin. Although she hoped Shen Qinglin would find her daughter soon, she also feared that Shen Qinglin’s hopes would be dashed, urging her, "Mom, don’t get too excited, the doctor said you shouldn’t undergo major emotional fluctuations."

Tang Xi felt somewhat at a loss, as Shen Qinglin’s grip on her wrist was like a branding iron.

She didn’t understand, "Auntie Shen, what’s the matter?"

Mai En reminded Shen Qinglin, "Mom, wait until we have definite news..."

Shen Qinglin calmed down a bit. Mai En was right. Without any evidence, it was hasty to tell Tang Xi that she might be the daughter she had been searching for all these years. If Tang Xi wasn’t her daughter, both would be disappointed. She smiled at Tang Xi, "It’s nothing, I got a bit emotional. Tang Xi, I’m very happy that you came to see me. Let’s go back upstairs, it’s too cold. We shouldn’t be out in the wind."

Tang Xi helped Shen Qinglin back to her room.

Today, she brought some fruits and pastries for Shen Qinglin.

Sitting on the couch, Shen Qinglin found Tang Xi looking more and more like her own daughter, in her eyes, brows, and even her talent for design.

Late in the evening, after Tang Xi had left, she eagerly asked Mai En, "How’s the investigation going?"

Mai En replied, "Tang Xi and the false heiress from the Shu Family, Shu Mengshu, are both missies of the Su Family, but Tang Xi was adopted."

Shen Qinglin had long known that the heiress that the Shu Family recognized as their own was fake.

Her own daughter—wouldn’t she know if it was her?

That Shu Mengshu bore no resemblance to her whatsoever.

But in the early years, her focus was not on North City, and she seldom returned. She held grudges against Shu Chong’an and the Shu Family.

She had long declared her intention to sever all ties with the Shu Family.

Little did she expect that after so many years, Shu Chong’an had never forgotten to look for her and her daughter.

He even acknowledged a false heiress as his own.

Watching Shu Chong’an dote on that fake heiress as if she were the real one, observing the once cunning and calculating man being so fooled, she even found it amusing.

If it hadn’t been for Shu Chong’an causing her separation from Lu Yanlin, she wouldn’t have missed seeing him for the last time.
