They were in an enclosed s.p.a.ce and since Fu Qinglun hugged her from behind while speaking on the phone, Lin s.h.i.+yu could hear Rong’rong’s voice clearly.

Rong’rong wanted Fu Qinglun to go back to the hospital and keep her company.

He had just returned from the hospital, moreover, it was already so late.

Fu Qinglun remained straight-faced, he held his cell phone while saying, “Even if I head back, Mom won’t want to see me, so I won’t be going back.”

After speaking, he hung up.

He placed his cell phone back in his trouser pocket and Lin s.h.i.+yu asked, “Young Master Fu, is Rong’rong really Madam Fu’s biological daughter?”

Fu Qinglun nodded while still holding her in his arms. “The DNA report is out, she is indeed Mom’s biological daughter.

“My grandfather had two sons, one of them being my father and the other was Jingtong’s father. My father was the eldest but my grandfather was always biased towards Jingtong’s father, leaning towards handing the Fu Corporation to Jingtong’s father.

“But established families would always prioritize the eldest child and my father was an excellent successor, and so my grandfather couldn’t do anything about it. My mom very coincidentally got pregnant at that point in time and if she had given birth to a baby boy, my father would a.s.sert his authority over the Fu family’s succession rights. However, my mother gave birth to… a baby girl.

“My mother could actually try for another baby even if her first child was a girl, but she learned that she had to remove her uterus because she had uterine polyps and could never conceive a baby afterwards. What could my father do at that point in time? He was an ambitious man and I totally understand why he chose to swap a baby girl for a baby boy. And that baby boy just happened to be… me.

“My father had actually arranged for Rong’rong to stay at an orphanage for a short period of time before he brought her back to the Fu family as his G.o.ddaughter. However, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Rong’rong was accidentally adopted and brought away by the family with the surname w.a.n.g. My father spent many years searching for their whereabouts but to no avail, it was only recently that he found her.

“But who would have known that those photographs of my father meeting Rong’rong were leaked right after he found her. It resulted in such a catastrophic situation.”

Hearing his words, Lin s.h.i.+yu frowned. “How could it be such a coincidence, have you found out the ident.i.ty of the person who leaked the news?”

Fu Qinglun revealed a wry smile. “It revolved around that few people, Jingtong’s father, Zhao Quan, or some other compet.i.tor of the Fu Corporation. It really doesn’t matter.”

Fu Qinglun grasped her waist tightly, warning her, “Fu Jingtong isn’t as simple as he seems. s.h.i.+’s.h.i.+, you have to keep a distance away from him, okay?”

Lin s.h.i.+yu turned around, looking at Fu Qinglun in the eyes. She answered, “I got it.”

Fu Qinglun held onto her almost boneless hand, handing the keys over to her. “Get going, call me if you need anything.”

Lin s.h.i.+yu took the keys and opened the door, alighting from the car.

…

In the apartment.

She took a hot shower before she realized that there weren’t any women’s pajamas in the apartment. When she opened the wardrobe doors, it was only filled with men’s s.h.i.+rts.

It seems that he had lived in this apartment before.

Thought their marriage had lasted for three years, they didn’t actually spend much time with each other throughout their marriage. She didn’t know much about his private life.

He had left the Fu family’s mansion to live on his own villa since a young age. He had many properties to his name, including such apartments.

This apartment was located in an upscale area and was heavily guarded with security officers everywhere. Only the rich and powerful in Karghalik were able to live there. The interior was inconspicuous but extravagant at the same time. There weren’t any traces of women living in the apartment since there were only men’s personal belongings.

It seems like he wasn’t one to fool around.

For the past three years that she’d spent in Singapore, he didn’t play around with any other women.

Lin s.h.i.+yu patted her hair dry with a towel while she walked in front of the windows, looking downstairs. The Bentley was still parked there.

He didn’t leave.

The black Bentley was still parked downstairs, becoming one with the darkness outside.

Wasn’t he going to leave?

Lin s.h.i.+yu batted her eyelashes before drawing the curtains. Soon after, she fell asleep.

…

The next morning.

She was awakened by a melodious ringtone. She opened her eyes forcibly and reached for her cell phone.

It was an unknown number.

But she still picked up the call, asking, “h.e.l.lo, who is this?”

“Young Madam,” The Fu family’s butler was speaking on the phone, “Madam will be discharged from the hospital today. Do come over for dinner tonight.”

Lin s.h.i.+yu rolled across the bed, her eyes on the chandelier above her. “Did Madam ask me herself?”

The butler paused, he hesitated for a moment before replying, “It’s Elder Miss’ instruction, but… her instructions would equate to Madam’s wishes.”

The Elder Miss of the Fu family was Rong’rong.

Madam Fu had lost contact with her daughter for so many years and with Rong’rong’s innocent looks and gentle demeanor, Madam Fu being unbeknownst to the cruelty of humankind, must have doted on Rong’rong well.

The corners of Lin s.h.i.+yu’s lips. .h.i.tched up. “Alright, I’ll be sure to turn up for dinner tonight.”

She would be sure to appear.

Rong’rong had mobilized so much effort to try to invite her for dinner, she must make sure to appear and see what was up Rong’rong’s sleeves.

Moreover, she had to make a trip to the Fu family’s mansion to confirm her doubts about something.

…

At night.

The maid pulled the doors open and Lin s.h.i.+yu entered the mansion.

In the living room, Madam Fu was seated on the sofa, her face blanched while Rong’rong was beside her. Rong’rong was peeling apples while feeding bite-sized pieces of it to Madam Fu.

Madam Fu’s eyes were watery while she looked at Rong’rong lovingly. “Rong’rong, I’m sorry to let you suffer for so many years.”

Rong’rong smiled at her. “Mom, everything is fine now that I’ve found you. Rong’rong is living a blissful life every single day with such a good mother like you.”

“Mm.” Madam Fu was pleased to hear her words.

A maid suddenly announced, “Madam, Young Madam is back.”

Madam Fu lifted her head, revealing a beaming smile when she saw Lin s.h.i.+yu. She waved her hands and said, “s.h.i.+yu, why are you suddenly back? It’s been long since Mom last saw you, hurry up and come over, let me take a look at you.”

Lin s.h.i.+yu walked in front and greeted her, “Mom.”

Madam Fu held onto Lin s.h.i.+yu’s hand. “s.h.i.+yu, I’ve heard that you’re the queen of the music industry now. Mom is really happy for you being able to have such great accomplishments. I know that my s.h.i.+yu is the best! When I was hanging out with my friends the other time, your song was on repeat and I showed off that you’re my daughter-in-law. It was so satisfying to watch them being envious of me. Serves them right for always boasting about their grandchildren in front of me. Now the mere mention of your name is able to have them mad with jealousy! s.h.i.+yu, you’ve made me so proud.”

Madam Fu was truly fond of Lin s.h.i.+yu, she had a beaming smile on her face, which was extremely rare ever since the news was leaked.
