Chapter 180: She Owes Me

Shen Qingyue reassured, “Since you’ve known I’m not your biological child and still raised me for so many years, Mom and Dad treated me as their own. I am content. You don’t owe me anything!” Instead, it was she who owed Shen Jun a lot.
Seeing her being so understanding, Shen Jun felt even more heartbroken. This incident came suddenly today; he hadn’t expected that this secret would be revealed someday. He looked at Yan Xi and said, “You go back to the old house first. Let the housekeeper prepare some things for you. It’s very late today; we’ll talk about the rest tomorrow.”
Yan Xi naturally had no objections and nodded quickly.
But Xu Fengzhi was not satisfied. After bustling around for a while, she still couldn’t budge Shen Qingyue, who did not obey discipline. She wanted to say something more, but she was escorted out by the bodyguards.
Exiting the ward, Yan Xi couldn’t hold back anymore. “Aunt, how much is half of the Shen family’s wealth? Is it in the millions? Grandpa said he’d ensure my future, does that mean I don’t have to work anymore?” As for what Shen Jun had said earlier, calling her a heartless person, she did not care.
Xu Fengzhi sneered, “Millions? Hmph, Shen Group’s market value is over a hundred billion! Millions wouldn’t even cover the interest for a year in the bank.”
Yan Xi was shocked. “Over a hundred billion!”
“Yes!” Xu Fengzhi enticed, “Don’t you want to have control over all this wealth? You should know, these things were originally yours. Shen Qingyue enjoys her current status because of Shen Jun’s identity as the sole heir. But in reality, this identity belongs to you…”
Yan Xi hesitated, still having some concerns. “But Grandpa just said half of it belongs to Shen Qingyue…”
“Why should your things be given to Shen Qingyue? She has dominated your life for more than 20 years. Do you still want to let her continue to control everything in your future? Think about the days you lived before. Things you couldn’t afford to eat, Shen Qingyue grew up with them! When you were a waitress in a hotel, when you suffered, Shen Qingyue commanded the Shen Group and could even buy a hotel… Do you truly accept this? If you were just an ordinary person, there would be nothing to say. You could only envy Shen Qingyue’s good fortune, born into a wealthy family. But in reality, this belongs to you…”
Xu Fengzhi’s words were like a spell, completely dispelling the remaining guilt in Yan Xi’s heart. “My things, I want them all back! I don’t owe her, she owes me! She has taken advantage for so long, there’s no reason for her to continue taking my things! But how can I do it? I don’t understand anything…”
Xu Fengzhi smiled, “Don’t worry, you still have me…”
Inside the hospital room.
“Qingyue, I know you just secured Project Suburb One for the company.
Because of this, the company’s market value has multiplied several times… I allocated your achievements to Yan Xi like this; would you resent me for it?” Shen Jun appeared uneasy, hesitating to meet the gaze of the young person before him.
“Grandpa, what are you saying? How could I resent you? Shen Group has always been your asset! If not for you, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve all this,” Shen Qingyue walked to the bedside and sat down. “Grandpa, I… I want to ask, who are my biological parents?”
At her words, Shen Jun also fell into contemplation. “I don’t know that either.
When Yan Xi was abducted, we searched for a long time but found nothing. After a while, one morning, your father went out and found you abandoned at the doorstep. There was nothing on you that could prove your identity. Shen Ting always believed you were heaven-sent to compensate us… We did try to find the person who abandoned you, but to no avail. With time, we gave up…”
Shen Qingyue understood. After chatting a little more with Shen Jun, she left. But she could not sleep all night; her mind was in turmoil. So, she had been an abandoned child?
The next morning, Chen Ying called, asking her to accompany her to look at houses.
Shen Qingyue was thinking of going out for a walk, so she agreed.
When they met, Shen Qingyue asked, “Why do you suddenly want to look at houses? And I remember your parents and Brother Chen sent you several houses before. Why buy one now?”
Chen Ying, driving, hesitated, “Well… I want to move out and live independently. You said it yourself, those were all bought by them. I want to buy my own place, get a job, and try living on my own.”
Shen Qingyue guessed this was probably related to Chen Song again and raised an eyebrow, looking at her.. “By your logic, shouldn’t you find a job first? Why look for a house before that?”
