After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 587 - 373:

Shen Qinglin looked past Shu Rongjun, her gaze settling on Shu Chong’an standing not too far behind him. Their eyes met for about ten seconds, and in his, she saw the guilt and repentance of a father, the trembling joy of not having seen his daughter for many years.

At that moment, he was nothing else, just an old father who had finally found his daughter.

Yet, she could not forget how Shu Chong’an had once torn apart her relationship with Lu Yanlin, an act that ultimately led to Lu Yanlin’s death.

She also paid for her own actions, serving a five-year prison sentence as atonement.

Shen Qinglin turned around and, with the support of Mai En and Xu Yiran, left the scene.

Shu Yiming watched as the old master’s figure shook slightly, he called out anxiously, "Grandpa." He hurried over to support the collapsing Shu Chong’an, and Shu Rongjun also rushed over, calling for the family doctor who was on standby.

The birthday celebration thus came to an end.

At the same time, the matter of the Shu Family’s true and fake heiress spread like wildfire throughout North City.

Almost everyone was talking about it.

All the news headlines, even those of major entertainment outlets, were discussing this matter.

-

After returning home, Tang Xi slept for a while.

She just felt exhausted.

Perhaps it was also an instinct to avoid the situation.

When she woke up again, it was already eight o’clock the next morning.

Tang Jingyun gave her a call.

From Tang Jingyun’s words, she heard parts of the story she didn’t know before.

"Shen Qinglin is indeed your biological mother, but I truly didn’t know about it at the time. I had met her once a long time ago, but back then, I was just over thirty, and Shen Qinglin was only around twenty. Now, with plastic surgery and the passage of time, Shen Qinglin has changed, unlike how she was thirty years ago. The prison warden asked me to go to the hospital to pick up a child, and that child was you. You were just born; Shen Qinglin had given birth to a girl in the hospital, and she was lying on a hospital bed as a convict. When I took the child away, she glanced at me, just that one glance."

Tang Xi slowly leaned against the headboard, her knees drawn up, clutching her phone tightly.

Fu Tingzhou came in carrying breakfast, a bowl of red bean porridge and steamed dumplings prepared by yellow jade.

Seeing her on the phone, he did not disturb her.

On the other end of the phone.

"Later on, the prison guard gave me something, saying it was from your mother. It was a small package containing a letter, a ring, and a bracelet. I’ve actually hidden this from you... I’m sorry. To save Xiao Mi, Liang Yuezhen gave the bracelet and the letter to Su Mengshu, which led Su Mengshu to go to the Shu Family and claim to be the heiress. Those were originally left for you by your mother. I have always wanted to tell you, but Yuezhen came to admit her fault voluntarily. She’s scared... considering my decade-long acquaintance with Yuezhen, I helped her conceal this from you. I am at fault in this matter..."

Tang Xi’s lips moved slightly.

But she said nothing.

She couldn’t blame Tang Jingyun.

But she couldn’t forgive Liang Yuezhen either.

After hanging up the phone.

Tang Xi leaned into Fu Tingzhou’s embrace, burying her face in his chest, her muffled voice broke through, "Tingzhou, it turns out that I too have biological parents, I’ve been looking for them... never able to find, since childhood, I was envious, envious of those who had the love of parents, I also wanted parents, even if it was just a peaceful and simple life."

But now, in an instant, she knew her origins, saw her biological mother, yet she...

"No matter what happens, I will be with you," Fu Tingzhou gently patted her back to soothe her emotions, "Have some breakfast, you didn’t eat much last night."

-

In the afternoon, the people from the Shu Family gave Tang Xi a call.

Tang Xi wasn’t avoiding it anymore.

Because the issue of Su Mengshu stealing her designs for Menglai Jewelry to seize the market advantage had not been resolved yet, she had already instructed Fu’s lawyers to file a lawsuit against Menglai Jewelry and Su Mengshu.

She couldn’t keep avoiding the Shu Family either.

Fu Tingzhou held her hand tightly, signaling that he was there for her.

Tang Xi nodded, "I have to make a trip to the Shu Family."

-

Shu Chong’an lay on the bed, breathing oxygen. His age had caught up with him, and his health was no longer what it once was. However, he hadn’t expected that the granddaughter he had doted on for four years was an imposter.

And she had directly harmed his true granddaughter.

Today, several members of the Shu Family’s clans had also come.

When they saw Tang Xi, different emotions showed on their faces.
