Chapter 27: Who Knew Brother Yu Loved So Deeply

Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Who Knew Brother Yu Loved So Deeply

Shen Yubai’s words reminded the other two.

In fact, when Shen Sinian first realized that he had arrived before his parents had fallen in love, he had considered this possibility as well. It couldn’t be that he came here for no reason; it was just later due to a series of other events, he forgot about the key issue he initially noticed.

Hearing Shen Yubai say this, he thoughtfully nodded, "I feel the same way."

Xu Chuning’s eyes brightened, fixedly staring at him, "Do you remember... how she was found?"

Shen Yubai also cast his gaze on Shen Sinian.

Feeling the gaze of both, Shen Sinian Scratched his head with slight distress, "I don’t remember clearly, I only know it was my dad who found her."

Xu Chuning was stunned, "Ah?"

Shen Sinian told her, "My grandma said, at that time you were pregnant, and your wish during pregnancy was to find your sister."

"..."

Somehow, hearing Shen Sinian mention her future pregnancy, Xu Chuning felt a bit uncomfortable, but this discomfort was different from at the beginning, now it felt more like magic.

Shen Yubai’s thoughts weren’t much different from Xu Chuning’s, but he acted more naturally, without that sense of discomfort.

After all, no one can be certain about the future.

The three of them were silent for a moment, then Shen Yubai asked, "Did your grandma not tell you where I found the person?"

"In Jiang City," Shen Sinian tried to recall, "At that time, my aunt seemed to have started working at your company. She was just going through a divorce, and it seemed that the matter blew up in the company. My grandma didn’t say much about the specifics, only that you had helped my aunt and later found her identity strange. After some investigation, you discovered that she was the person my mom and grandmother had been searching for unsuccessfully for many years."

Xu Chuning stopped, "Divorce?"

Shen Sinian nodded.

Xu Chuning raised her eyes to look at Shen Yubai, with a not so good expression.

Divorce also meant that her sister, who had been abducted as a child, really didn’t have a good life.

She had always hoped, praying her sister could be as lucky as her, to have a mother as wonderful as You Shuzhen, and to have lived a happy and joyful life.

It was not until this moment when she heard Shen Sinian speak that she realized, her fortune was not something everyone had.

Shen Yubai watched Xu Chuning, taking in every change in her expression. Oddly enough, his mood also suddenly declined.

After a moment of silence, he asked Shen Sinian, "Other than that, did your grandma tell you anything else?"

Shen Yubai remembered the most crucial point, "The name of your aunt, do you remember it?"

Shen Sinian replied, "Of course."

He told the two, "My aunt’s name is Li Xiaonan."

"Li Xiaonan?" Xu Chuning furrowed her brows, "The ’nan’ as in ’south’?"

Shen Sinian nodded, "The ’xiao’ as in ’dawn’."

"That name..." Xu Chuning pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but eventually didn’t.

But Shen Yubai probably knew what she wanted to express. Some families who named their daughters ’Nan’ might have hoped for a son, hence giving such a name to a girl.

Shen Yubai and the others didn’t know if You Shuzhen’s abducted daughter was named for that reason, but upon hearing it, they felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Li Xiaonan," Shen Yubai frowned, "There would not be a few with this name."

Even if he used the Shen Family’s resources to look for her, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

But it was still better than having no information at all.

With that thought in mind, Shen Yubai looked towards Xu Chuning, "Could you give me a few photos of your sister, your mom, and yourself?"

Since it’s her sister, there should be some resemblance in appearance.

Xu Chuning was taken aback, "Shouldn’t my mom’s and sister’s be enough?"

Shen Yubai looked up, "Wouldn’t yours look even more similar?"

"I take after my dad," Xu Chuning, not yet wishing to tell Shen Yubai that she was not You Shuzhen’s biological daughter, quickly made up an excuse.

Shen Yubai: "..."

Since Xu Chuning was reluctant to give her own photo, he couldn’t force her. He agreed, "That can also work."

The three of them made a simple exchange of information; Ban Shu had also finished his phone call.

"Brother Yu, are you done talking?" He entered the shop and saw the three empty cups on the table, slightly baffled.

Shen Yubai stood up from his chair and said indifferently, "You were on the phone for quite a while."

Ban Shu: "..."

He touched his nose, remaining silent.

"Then we’ll head back first," Xu Chuning turned to Shen Yubai, her eyes clear and bright, "That matter, I’ll have to trouble you with it."

Shen Yubai nodded, "I’ll contact you if there’s any news."

Speaking of which, he took out his phone, "Is it convenient to add each other on QQ?"

Ban Shu watched from the side, slowly blinking.

Since when did his Brother Yu actually take the initiative to add a girl on QQ.

Just as Ban Shu was surprised in his heart, something even more surprising happened.

Xu Chuning was stunned, then said to Shen Yubai, "... I didn’t bring my phone today."

Shen Yubai: "... You don’t have a phone?"

Xu Chuning: "Is that strange?"

Shen Yubai was speechless.

Shen Sinian then took out his own phone and handed it to her, "Use mine to log in?"

"No need," Xu Chuning declined, a bit embarrassed, "I don’t remember my password."

Hearing her reason out loud, the three of them fell silent.

After a while, Xu Chuning said, "I’ll add you after I get back, Shen Sinian should have your QQ, right?"

Shen Yubai glanced at Shen Sinian, "Whatever."

He was a bit annoyed.

However, Xu Chuning didn’t notice his irritation, she nodded and said: "Okay, goodbye."

After saying this, she left the shop without looking back.

Shen Sinian was also somewhat surprised by Xu Chuning’s decisiveness. He stood there in a daze for a few seconds before catching up with her pace, "Ningning, wait for me."

Watching the two of them leave one after the other, Ban Shu scratched his head in a bit of confusion, "Brother Yu, what’s the situation here?"

Shen Yubai gave him a look, "What situation?"

Ban Shu, seeing his stern expression, dared not speak what was on his mind. He actually wanted to ask, didn’t his Brother Yu like Xu Chuning? Why then was he allowing Shen Sinian to be so close to her? Was he that confident in himself, or... had he guessed Brother Yu’s thoughts wrong?

"It’s nothing." After circulating the question in his mind, Ban Shu shook his head, "What were the three of you just talking about?"

Shen Yubai: "Something you wouldn’t understand."

Ban Shu was slightly choked up, "Brother Yu, that’s a bit dismissive, what don’t I understand?"

Shen Yubai teased, "It’s complicated."

He dropped that remark and turned to walk out.

Ban Shu hurriedly followed, "Going to play a game?"

He was asking about billiards.

Shen Yubai: "Not going."

Ban Shu: "Then where are you heading now? Going to eat?"

"To buy something."

Ban Shu: "Buy what?"

Shen Yubai didn’t answer him but walked into a cellphone store ten minutes later.

Ban Shu’s forehead twitched deeply, the corners of his mouth twitching, "Brother Yu... you’re not going to buy Xu Chuning a phone, are you?"

Shen Yubai glanced at him, his tone casual, "Is there a problem?"

That’s the mother of his future child, who else would he buy a phone for if not for her?

Ban Shu: "..."

He couldn’t tell that Brother Yu loved her that deeply.
