"Who are you looking for?"
"I know where he is, you just need to accompany me." Lin Wanxin refused to reveal the person's identity.
Shen Qingqing didn't understand, but didn't ask further. She placed Xingyao on the bed, got up, and helped Lin Wanxin, "Okay, tell me where you want to go, and I'll take you."
The two left the bedroom. Fu Jingshu and the two children looked at them.
"We're going out for a bit."
Shen Qingqing didn't explain where they were going, nor did Fu Jingshu press for details. They left the hotel, got into the car, and headed to the address Lin Wanxin had given.
Finally, the car stopped, and Shen Qingqing looked up to see four large characters.
—Mu Guang Company.
Shen Qingqing had a rough idea of who Lin Wanxin was looking for. She followed Lin Wanxin out of the car, and they entered the company.
The receptionist naturally wouldn't let Lin Wanxin in and asked if she had an appointment. Only when she saw Shen Qingqing enter afterward did she change her polite yet distant attitude.
"Miss Shen, are you here to see Director Fang?"
"Yes, is Director Fang in?"
"He is. You can go straight up."
Shen Qingqing then took Lin Wanxin into the elevator. However, through the reflection on the elevator door, she saw the surprise and confusion in Lin Wanxin's eyes.
She didn't turn back and said softly, "I work at this company."
Lin Wanxin understood, "You're amazing."
She was the most amazing woman she had ever met. She had never imagined that a woman could be as independent, strong, and assertive as her, radiating an unparalleled charm.
Even she, a woman, couldn't help but look at her a few extra times.
No wonder Master Fu...
Lost in thought, the elevator doors opened. Shen Qingqing stepped out first, and Lin Wanxin immediately followed. For years, she had alternated between madness and lucidity.
At first, it was to avoid the second master of the Ye family, but as time passed, she herself couldn't tell whether she was truly mad or just pretending.
And now, even though she was lucid, she was still unaccustomed to being the center of so many people's attention.
She couldn't help but hide behind Shen Qingqing. Shen Qingqing just glanced at her, said nothing, and led her unobstructed into Director Fang's office.
Director Fang was very happy to see Shen Qingqing, and then he saw Lin Wanxin, and was immediately stunned.
His expression turned incredibly complex in an instant.
Realization, surprise, recollection, and bewilderment. It was as if he had seen an old acquaintance, yet for some reason, he felt a sense of apprehension about approaching.
Lin Wanxin's expression was equally complex.
Shen Qingqing consciously stepped aside, but couldn't leave, otherwise, if people in the company saw Director Fang and Lin Wanxin alone, rumors would surely spread.
She simply walked to the window and admired the bustling traffic from above.
Behind her, Lin Wanxin and Director Fang finally started to speak.
"You need to be responsible for Xingyao."
Director Fang looked somewhat confused, "Who is Xingyao?"
Lin Wanxin wore a sorrowful expression, "Your daughter."
Director Fang excitedly walked up to her, gripping her hands, "Really, I have a daughter?"
Lin Wanxin nodded and fell into a reminiscence, "After we separated that year, I was taken away by the second master of the Ye family. As soon as the child was born, he sent her to an orphanage. At first, I could still visit her secretly, but later, he found out."
So he took the child away, and she was confined at home.
She couldn't see her child, and her spirit was broken. Moreover, the second master of the Ye family desperately wanted to be with her, but she couldn't bear to face that man's ugly face, so she simply feigned madness.
This trick proved very effective. The second master of the Ye family found her repulsive and never touched her again.
But even so, she still couldn't see her child.
Director Fang's heart ached with regret, "No wonder, no wonder I couldn't find you back then. So you were brought to the country!"
He had searched almost the entire...
Lin Wanxin's gaze was mournful. Could they truly go back to how it was?
She didn't know, but it didn't matter. What was important now was the child. "Okay, let's go pick up the child now. Our child is very beautiful, you will definitely like her."
Seeing her sad look, Director Fang couldn't help but recall the pure and passionate feelings they once shared and pulled her into his arms.
Shen Qingqing chuckled at the sight, "I'll go pick up the child for you."
The two then remembered that someone else was in the office and quickly separated. Lin Wanxin turned away to wipe her tears, while Director Fang looked at Shen Qingqing. Although somewhat awkward, he was more grateful.
"Thank you. If you hadn't brought her here, I don't think I would have had the chance to reunite with her in this lifetime."
Shen Qingqing shook her head, "You're welcome, it's just a small favor. I'll go get Xingyao."
Lin Wanxin turned around, her eyes still red, but no longer shedding tears, "Alright, the child is closer to you now."
Saying this, she felt a pang of bitterness. If it weren't for the second master of the Ye family, she wouldn't have been separated from her child for so many years, leading to the child being so distant towards her now.
After Shen Qingqing left, she told Director Fang everything.
Director Fang listened, his heart filled with complex emotions. He was deeply grateful to Shen Qingqing and hated the second master of the Ye family with all his heart. But when Shen Qingqing arrived with Xingyao, he was cautious in front of the child.
He even dared not speak loudly, for fear of scaring the child, "Are you Xingyao?"
Xingyao stood close to Shen Qingqing and nodded obediently, "Hello, Uncle."
Such a well-behaved child.
Director Fang took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to hug her, and said gently, "I am your father, Xingyao, say 'Daddy'."
Xingyao hid behind Shen Qingqing.
Actually, Shen Qingqing had explained everything to the child on the way.
But the child was too young to accept such a shocking piece of news. Although she had always wanted to find her biological dad and mom, when the day finally came, the little girl was a little timid.
Shen Qingqing gently pulled her out, "Xingyao, do you remember what you promised Mommy on the way?"
On the way, she had coaxed the little girl, saying that her new daddy and mommy loved her very, very much. The little girl was also full of curiosity and novelty towards her unfamiliar, long-lost parents.
So she had promised to be close to them.
But now...
She shrunk her neck, looking very reluctant.
Shen Qingqing coaxed her again and again, reassuring her, "Mommy is here to stay with you, and from now on, you'll have a daddy and mommy who love you. Isn't that good?"
Director Fang's eyes were red, and Lin Wanxin was already weeping silently.
Xingyao, who had been cowering, seemed to be moved and finally took a small step forward. Although it was only one step, it made Director Fang and Lin Wanxin overjoyed.
The family hugged each other affectionately. At first, the little girl was a bit unaccustomed to it, but soon she felt the love from her parents and no longer rejected them.
Shen Qingqing let out a sigh of relief. This family was finally reunited.
