The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 651 - 372 Shen Jingxiu of the IF Line: Time_5

Further back, there are photos from fifty years ago of him with his wife, as well as group family photos that she either participated in or took herself.

There are photos of them watching fireworks together, dining and having barbecues together, and vacationing together at the seaside and on the beach.

Fifty years, aside from these memories and that tree, he seemed to have left no trace of himself behind.

Yet now he remembers nothing at all.

Wenyan wanted to ask fate what those past fifty years were for.

Why did it have to be now that she appeared.

The young girl was utterly shocked, "You look so much like the girl in the photo, too much so. Are you her daughter? Are you her and Mr. Shen’s daughter?"

Wenyan couldn’t say that she was the woman in the photo, so she nodded, walked over, and hugged Shen Jingxiu.

The elderly Shen Jingxiu was taken aback for a moment but did not refuse.

Wenyan still remembered Shen Jingcheng’s number.

He had said before that this number would never change, and it would be on 24 hours a day.

So Wenyan dialed the number right away.

The call was quickly connected.

However, the voice on the other end was that of a middle-aged woman, "Uncle?"

Hearing this address, Wenyan immediately understood.

The person on the phone must be Shen Jingcheng’s daughter.

She opened her mouth, at a loss for words for a moment.

It was only after the other party called out again.

That she spoke up, "I, I am not him."

The person on the other end was clearly taken aback, taking several seconds before speaking again.

You could hear the excitement in her voice, "Are you Aunt Wenyan?"

Wenyan was also startled.

But she quickly recovered, "Your father told you about me?"

"Yes, it’s my fault for not realizing it earlier. My father specially instructed me before he passed away that this number must be continued, never to be discontinued or canceled. He said that one day you might call this number, and it’s possible you might even be in a different time and space, but this number exists only for you. It’s just a pity that my father didn’t get to receive your call while he was alive."

Wenyan burst into tears once more.

"Are you saying Shen Jingcheng is no longer here either? How did he go?"

"Cancer. But my father passed away peacefully."

"Can we meet?"

"Where are you? Look at me, getting confused again. You’re using my uncle’s phone. I’ll book a flight right now and come over!"

-

In that year, the twenty-something Wenyan got to meet her nieces and nephews who were in their forties.

She learned everything she wanted to know through Shen Jingcheng’s children.

Su Yang and Shen Yuan had died peacefully in their old age.

Shen Jinghe had adopted a child, traveled the world when he was young, and finally settled down on a beautiful island nation when he got older. He always liked cats and dogs, and after settling down, he kept a lot of them.

Shen Jingchuan later returned to race car driving but got injured and lost the race due to not being able to keep up because of his age, which led to ridicule. Annoyed, he switched to wanting to fly planes and even planned to start an airline. He got tired of flying planes and then wanted to drive tanks. He never settled down for his entire life, still not conceding to old age and insisting on going to the moon. He had a few girlfriends but, unfortunately, never found someone who was on the same wavelength to share his ’madness.’

Qin Yulong, after Wenyan left, made the "Take the Family Through Time" show extremely successful, and every show she did afterward set the highest standards in the industry. She later devoted herself to public welfare for impoverished and suffering women. She was a firm believer in singlehood, never married, lived a life of freedom, and just last year, she was invited for a small gathering by her nieces and nephews from the Qin Family.

Their lives, ones that Wenyan had no chance to be part of, were summarized by her nieces and nephews in just a few sentences.

Wenyan felt such regret.

More than when she had resolutely decided to leave back then.

Why did it have to be at this point in time? Even if she were in her seventies or eighties now.

It was like a cruel knife plunged into her heart, causing every beat of her heart to throb with pain that seemed to corrode her very flesh.

-

On the third day Wenyan stayed, Shen Jingxiu suddenly disappeared.

Everyone searched all the places he might have been, but his whereabouts remained undiscovered.

They searched from day to night, continuing until after three in the morning without rest.

With everyone exhausted, someone reported it to the police. Although it wasn’t 24 hours since Shen Jingxiu went missing, considering the great contributions he had made to the local development, the police accepted the case.
