After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 588 - 373: _2

After all, it all happened too suddenly...

And more gazes were focused on Shen Qinglin.

Old Master Shu’s breath was labored, and Shu Rongjun stood up next to him, "We’ve called everyone here today to announce that the little sister and niece have returned. What belongs to them should now be given to them."

As these words were spoken, many eyes swept across Tang Xi and Shen Qinglin’s faces.

The first to speak was an elder of the Shu Family who looked to be just over seventy years old, "I see, I have no objections. After all, they are blood relatives. It’s fine as long as Old Master Shu has decided, but let’s not have another blunder. If this one is also not..." Saying this, he cast a wary glance at Tang Xi. The sarcasm was obvious.

Then he looked at Shen Qingli, "Jingli, you’ve been away for almost thirty years, your appearance has changed, and we, your uncles, can’t even recognize you anymore. If you say you are Shu Jingli then you are, and if you say this is your daughter, then she is your daughter; what could we possibly have to object to?"

"Exactly, it was all decided by the old man alone, just like with Su Mengshu. I always felt that Su Mengshu wasn’t of the Shu Family’s bloodline, but when the old man said she was his granddaughter, we didn’t dare to object."

Shen Qinglin’s expression was as cold and indifferent as ever. She took out a kraft paper bag, "Inside here is the paternity test between Tang Xi and me."

Tang Xi’s gaze gently swept over the paper bag.

She didn’t even know when her hair had been taken for this paternity test.

It was as if her entire life had been planned out by others.

And she could only choose to comply.

Shu Rongjun took out the paternity test report, glanced at it joyfully, then quickly handed it to Shu Chong’an. Shu Chong’an’s breath was labored and heavy, and his fingers trembled as he clutched the paternity test!

Then he looked towards Tang Xi, his eyes shining.

"Tang Xi, your grandfather has finally found you."

Tang Xi merely lowered her eyes slightly.

But in her heart, there was a sour and swelling feeling, a sense that everything was like a dream.

There was none of the excitement or joy she had imagined. Tang Xi had once fantasized that if she found her biological parents, she would be excited, crying, and would rush into the arms of her relatives.

But this reunion with her relatives did not bring any of that joy.

Tang Xi averted her gaze from Shu Chong’an.

Instinctively, she still could not accept this group of relatives before her.

A privileged and luxurious life as a wealthy heiress, she did not need it. Compared to these, she yearned for a quiet and ordinary small-town life with kind parents and relatives. novelbuddy-cσ๓

Shu Chong’an also knew that Tang Xi would not accept him right away. He did not force her. Now that he had found both his daughter and granddaughter, he could be at ease.

A family elder raised a question, "Nowadays, even DNA can be falsified. Didn’t that Su Mengshu bring a fake report before? How can we be certain that your report is genuine? Even if Tang Xi is your daughter, how can you prove that you, Shen Qinglin, are the old master’s daughter, with just your word? You could say anything you want to say."

"Yes, I think this matter still needs to be discussed further."

"What about the disposal of that fake heiress? Have you discussed it yet? I originally didn’t want to meddle in this affair, but this time it’s the Shu Family’s reputation that’s been tarnished."

"Shen Qinglin, if you truly are Chong’an’s daughter, you can’t do things this way. You exposed Su Mengshu as the family’s heiress during Chong’an brother’s birthday feast, causing such great loss to our clan. How can you have the face to claim you are Shu Jingli? How can you do this to the Shu Family?"

"Yeah, if you truly are the Jingli who vanished for thirty years, since you’ve returned, you should have come straight home, we’ve been searching for you for so long. Why make a scene at the birthday feast with media from hundreds of outlets present? Now the Shu Family’s reputation is completely ruined. Even if the public relations department spends tens of millions, they can’t suppress the scandal this time. Now even the small vendors in the street markets are discussing how the Shu Family was played by a fake heiress for four years!"

The entire reception hall, with couches lined in two rows, was almost filled with people.

All the important members of the Shu Family were present.

Someone else wanted to say something, but was silenced by a glare from Shu Chong’an.

"I’m not dead yet, and it’s all happening over my head. My fellow kin, it seems like you can’t wait for me to die sooner. Rest assured, my health is still quite good, and living a few more years shouldn’t be a problem. My daughter, I recognize her." With that said, the old man’s eyes slightly moistened as he looked in the direction of Shen Qinglin and Tang Xi.
