The next day

Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian bid farewell to sclose friends and relatives, and, by evening, they boarded a

plane for their honeymoon with their child. Meanwhile, the Jiang Family, having been so busy for so long, could

finally relax and take a rest.

Jiang Jinsang also had sfree tand went with Tang Wan’s father and Tang Yunxian to visit the Forbidden

City. Tang Wan, feeling exhausted from the day before, didn’t join them.

The elderly lady had promised Jiang Chengsi to cook him a delicious meal. She knew her grandson's taste well—

the food was generally heavily flavored, and she even made a special dish of braised pork.

“The braised pork smells so good,” Tang Wan said as she entered the kitchen upon smelling it.

“Try a piece; | haven't made it for a long tand I'm not sure if it tastes right,” the elderly lady said with a

smile, handing her a pair of chopsticks.

Braised pork inherently contains fatty portions, which Tang Wan seldom ate. Just taking a small taste suddenly

made her feel nauseated, and, covering her mouth, she rushed to the restroom.

“Wanwan?” The elderly lady hurried after her. Moving less agilely, she reached the restroom door just as Tang

Wan was rinsing her mouth, “What's the matter?”

“It's probably the fat; it smelled so good, but it madefeel a bit queasy when | ate it.”

“Are you sure you're alright?”

“I'm fine,” Tang Wan waved her off. The nausea had subsided quickly and was much better now.

“You scaredto death,” the elderly lady frowned. “If you feel unwell, you should get Xiaowu to take you to see

a doctor. Don’t hold it in and hide it.”

“I really am fine. Look, I've even gained sweight recently; | don’t look ill. My grandfather and father came

over and even said I've gotten fatter.”

The elderly lady nodded but continued to watch her attentively, making sure she did not experience any more

nausea before finally easing, “Have your maternal grandparents cover for dinner tonight. It'll be lively with

more people around. Also, call Xiaowu and ask him to cback sooner—it’s getting dark and he’s still out...”

Tang Wan nodded and first called Jiang Jinsang. He said he would swing by and pick up the Shen elders on his

way hand asked her to inform Shen Shuci.

When Shen Shuci received the call, she should have been in her office, but she was instead at a coffee shop

nearby.

Sitting across from her was Mrs. Liang, who had previously approached Tang Wan to inquire about her.

“How have you been these past few years?”

“I've been well.”

“I saw you at the wedding yesterday, actually, before that, at Doctor Zhou's family reunion, | already...”

Shen Shuci’s phone vibrated. “Sorry, | need to take this call. Hello, Wanwan—okay, I'll cafter work... If

there's traffic, | might arrive a bit late, so don’t wait to start dinner on my account...”

She and Tang Wan seemed to have endless topics to discuss. Normally, one wouldn't be so impolite to stay on

the phone for such a tif someone was waiting, but Shen Shuci did so, presumably to avoid conversing with

Mrs. Liang.

Mrs. Liang, not saying a word, got up, paid the bill, and left...

Watching her leave, Shen Shuci then hung up the phone, took a sip of the coffee in front of her, her wrist

trembling slightly. The coffee without sugar...

The taste was bitterly astringent.

Shen Shuci was somewhat distraught today, passing by Huo Family's car without even noticing—a familiar one—

she climbed into her own car and sat for a long tbefore driving away, heading for the Jiang Mansion.

“Master? Miss Shen seems odd today.”

“Follow her.”

Only when he saw her car enter the Jiang Mansion did Huo Qingi murmur, “She didn’t cfrom her office today.

She probably met someone at the coffee shop. Check it out.”

Huo Qingi had initially thought about collecting her from work by offering to drive her home, observing that she

seemed especially off.

After confirming her safe arrival at the Jiang Mansion, he then headed home, and not long after, information

about the Liang Family appeared before him.

Huo Qingi, not being a native of Beijing, was not aware of the local dynamics or factions, and even the Liang

Family was just a nto him without any significant impression.

If the information alone were considered, the Liang Family and Shen Shuci would seem like two totally unrelated

entities.

Back in the day, the Liang Family was also a prestigious clan, and thus information on them was relatively easy

to access.

Their power then was such that if they had wished to erase something, it wouldn't have been difficult.

“The Liang Family seems to have no connection with Miss Shen,” the Huo Family was baffled, “but the only

person Miss Shen met lastly today was Mrs. Liang. They spoke barely two sentences in the coffee shop before

Mrs. Liang left...”

“If the Liang Family was merely trying to forge a closer relationship, Miss Shen's reaction is quite odd.”

“Having interacted with her for so long, it’s the first tI've seen her this disturbed.”

The Huo Family initially thought Shen Shuci might be stressed over work or had encountered a difficult client. It

was unexpected to trace back to the Liang Family.

There are many in Beijing looking to get closer to Shen Shuci. If the Liang Family were simply trying to cozy up,

Shen Shuci’s reaction seemed excessively extreme.

The results... seemed not to be the case.

Huo Qingi put down the information, his fingers lightly tapping the table, “Getall her records...”

“Miss Shen's?”

“The records before she was adopted by the Shen Family, the more detailed, the better.”

After being adopted by the Shen Family, Shen Shuci had moved abroad, so the only possible interaction with the

Liang Family could only have occurred before her adoption.

As the saying goes, ‘A passing bird leaves a voice; a passing person leaves traces.’ If one digs deep, sclues
