After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 586 - 372:
Chapter 586: Chapter 372:
Tang Xi really wanted to leave.
Everything that had happened was far too much for her to accept.
The woman in front of her, Shen Qinglin, the senior she had always respected, turned out to be her biological mother.
Since childhood, she had known that her biological mother was a death row criminal.
And she lived in the shadow of this fact.
And this stern old man in front of her, who had given her a hard time on several occasions and who doted on Shu Mengshu.
Shu Chong’an was actually her grandfather.
The people in front of her were actually blood-related to her.
She was actually the daughter of the wealthy Shu Family?? How ludicrous.
Just a second ago, these people might still regard her with caution and hostility because she was Tang Xi, incompatible with Shu Mengshu like fire and water. Due to Shu Mengshu, the Shu Family’s people showed no kindness toward her.
And four years ago, the Shu Family had also used some disgraceful tactics and schemes against her.
And now, suddenly telling her that she was the true daughter of the Shu Family, everything took a drastic turn. How could she accept this?
The biological mother she had been searching for many years, whom she once thought had long passed away, was now standing right in front of her.
Shen Qinglin’s eyes were red; she knew that Tang Xi needed time to accept all these things.
Suppressing her excitement, she walked in front of Tang Xi, wanting to hold her hand, but was subconsciously avoided by Tang Xi.
Shen Qinglin was startled, "Tang Xi..."
Then, with trembling voice overwhelmed by guilt, she said, "Tang Xi, mom is sorry for what she did to you."
Having not fully recovered from a serious illness, Shen Qinglin was also forcing herself to stay strong. Mai En supported her and hurriedly said to Tang Xi, "Tang Xi, your mother has been searching for you all this time. For over twenty years, she has been living in pain and remorse. She founded the News International brand, and her famous ’Piercing Heart’ series of designs was inspired by you. She has never stopped missing her daughter and regretting."
Meanwhile, the media and journalists had already swarmed to surround the place.
With various inquiries, all eager to uncover the biggest scandal in the elite circle.
Not just the media, but also the guests who came to attend the birthday feast were shocked. Only those of distinguished status and wealth were invited to Old Master Shu’s birthday celebration.
Everyone was astounded.
It was well-known that Old Master Shu had a daughter and granddaughter who had been missing for thirty years.
Four years ago, when the granddaughter was finally found, Old Master Shu cherished and adored her like a precious gem.
And now at this moment!!
It turns out to be a fake??
The second shock came from learning that Shen Qinglin, the famous CEO of the News business empire, a top-tier personality in the international luxury brand field, was actually Old Master Shu’s daughter who disappeared thirty years ago, and there were even whispers of her past prison time...
Oh my goodness, this gossip is too...
The whole banquet hall was abuzz with conversation.
Those high-society ladies who usually fawned over Shu Mengshu now looked very upset. To win over the Shu Family’s darling, they had sent countless designer bags and luxury gifts, only to find out it was all a sham?
Furthermore, relying on her status as the Shu Family’s daughter, Shu Mengshu had become increasingly arrogant and high-handed, but because of her esteemed status, many socialites had to endure it, and now they couldn’t hold back any longer.
Shu Mengshu, seizing the moment when the Shu Family members were all focused on Tang Xi, exchanged glances with Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun, intending to slip away quietly.
To make a lucky escape.
But she was blocked by several of the socialites.
"Oh, oh, oh, where do you think you’re going!?"
"Fake heiress! Shu Mengshu, oh no, Su Mengshu! You’ve forgotten how you treated us sisters on regular days, haven’t you! Now you want to run? Where do you think you can go!?"
"I gave you a Hermes bag worth half a million and you dared to complain about it, saying my taste was poor! You didn’t have class, you even declined my birthday party invitation! Behind our backs, you cursed us, saying we were too low to match the status of Miss Shu!"
"A whole family of no-goods, no wonder you reek of poorness even wearing high-end clothes, still can’t hide the stench of earthiness from your body, turns out you’ve been impersonating the Shu Family’s heiress!"
Shu Mengshu’s face turned red, "Shut up, all of you!"
"You get mad when someone calls you a bumpkin or a poor ghost, just look at your current state, even from two meters away one can smell your body odour!"
"Bitch!" Su Mengshu charged over and started to fight with one of the socialites.
Xia Minjun also joined in, and on the side, Su Kangrong tried to pull them apart, "Stop fighting, let’s get out of here! We’ll be caught if we don’t leave now!"
Their commotion didn’t go unnoticed, and someone shouted, "That fake heiress is trying to run away."
Instantly, several bodyguards rushed over and restrained Su Mengshu, Su Kangrong, and Xia Minjun.
Shu Yiming stepped forward and gestured to the bodyguards, "Tie them up and take them away. Lock them up for now."
Impersonating the Shu Family heiress for four to five years.
Su Mengshu was crying out, her voice filled with despair and pity, "Brother, please let me go just this once, I beg you. I’ve called you brother for four years, please spare us this time!"
But Shu Yiming showed no mercy towards her.
His eyes were cold with a hint of a sigh.
The bodyguards immediately used tape to seal the mouths of Su Mengshu and several others, who could only whimper without making any sound.
Countless media cameras were pointed at their faces, and a telephoto lens magnified Su Mengshu’s face, which showed no regret, only a desperate attempt to keep her head down and avoid the camera; she couldn’t stand the embarrassment.
She had lived as a pampered heiress for four years.
She was long used to being the center of attention.
How could she bear being exposed in such a distressed and disheveled state?
She couldn’t stand the feeling of her pride being trampled.
Her face flushed red, her breathing rapid.
She kept her head down, unwilling to face the cameras.
Resentment flashed in her eyes!
Tang Xi!!
Why do you get to have everything!
While I have to suffer like this!
The last time she was escorted out of the banquet hall, Su Mengshu lifted her head and looked in Tang Xi’s direction, with a malicious gleam in her eyes, determined to drag Tang Xi down with her even if it meant her own death!
Let’s go to hell together!
-
Tang Xi avoided Shu Chong’an’s affectionate, shocked, and guilty gaze.
She didn’t look at Shen Qinglin either.
She ignored everyone from the Shu Family.
She listened to the numerous discussions around her.
Tang Xi softly said to Fu Tingzhou, "Let’s go, take me away, A’zhou."
Fu Tingzhou turned around and led Tang Xi away.
Shen Qinglin took a couple of steps forward and then dropped her gaze in disappointment, knowing that Tang Xi simply couldn’t accept what had happened. Mai En supported her arm, "Mom, Tang Xi just needs some time to process this, give her a little time."
Xu Yiran watched Tang Xi leave, slowly lowering his gaze.
Actually, he was also shocked.
But he concealed his shock.
This Tang Xi, this woman he thought he knew so well, turned out to be his own sister.
Even though they weren’t related by blood, by name, she was his sister.
His heart felt a bitter sweetness.
He found himself wishing that Tang Xi wasn’t his sister.
If only Tang Xi weren’t married.
He...
Suddenly, Xu Yiran froze.
A chill ran down his spine.
Even he didn’t expect to have such thoughts.
At this moment, Mai En tugged his arm and whispered, "I think mom’s emotions are a bit tense, let’s leave first, there are too many guests and media here."
Xu Yiran nodded.
He led Shen Qinglin away.
Without looking back.
Although he was Shen Qinglin’s son, he could also have no blood relation with the Shu Family.
And this was the first time he learned that Shen Qinglin was actually the Shu Family’s daughter who had been missing for over thirty years. He didn’t know what had happened, but he knew that Shen Qinglin must have suffered a lot, and he held no warm feelings towards the Shu Family.
Shu Rongjun caught up in a few steps, "Jingli, let’s go home."
Shen Qinglin raised her hand to her forehead, "Big brother, my father-daughter relationship with Shu Chong’an ended thirty years ago. I came today just to find my daughter, and to see that impostor parading around here. Oh, I knew that woman was an impersonator long ago; I didn’t tell you all on purpose, it was deliberate!"
Shu Rongjun seemed to want to say something to persuade her, "Jingli... regardless, today is dad’s birthday, ever since you left the Shu Family thirty years ago, dad has been looking for you. These thirty years, dad has never stopped thinking about you, and recently dad was seriously ill..."
