Chapter 80 -80: Fake is Just Fake
Zuo Jing’an and Tu Lan’s eagerness to take a group photo with Qingwu surpassed the joy of winning awards for their own work and scientific achievements. They actually dug out their wedding outfits and pulled Qingwu to sit with them for a photo!
Tu Lan wore a burgundy velvet cheongsam. Although she was older, she remained elegant and graceful, and the cheongsam added to her charm.
Zuo Jing’an’s suit was also quite old, but well-preserved, with an iris pin on its lapel, making him look both refined and kindly.
Qingwu sat beside the two elders and captured the first group photo.
Tu Lan, satisfied, waved to Shen Dongli and Zuo Wanjun.
Their eyes were eager, as if they could not wait to take a photo with their daughter too!
At the last birthday banquet, they were so busy taking pictures of their daughter that they forgot to take some group photos and now regret it deeply…
The whole family sat together and took many photos.
Zuo Jing’an immediately changed his profile picture to the selfie with Qingwu.
He went straight to Elder Shen to chat.
“Oh dear, why did I change my profile picture? Why can’t I see clearly? Who is on this profile picture?”
Elder Shen was playing chess with Elder Pei, and seeing this message, he nearly cursed out loud!
“This old man, he actually dragged Qingwu to take photos and now he’s showing off!”
Looking at the photo of Qingwu with her face close to Zuo Jing’an’s, Elder Shen felt extremely jealous.
Why hadn’t he thought of taking photos with his granddaughter?
Now he could only let that old man Zuo Jing’an show off!
In the Shen family group chat, Shen Boyi pretended to accidentally send multiple pictures of Qingwu along with their newly taken group photos.
Shen Zhongshuang: “Xiao Wu is so cute. Is Grandma feeling better? I’ll come back after my surgery.”
Shen Shushan: “What does this mean, may I ask? Why didn’t you take photos when I was home?”
Shen Shaojia: “It doesn’t matter, I’ll Photoshop them.”
While saying this, she quickly operated her device, swiftly inserting her image into the group photo and sent it to the chat.
Shen Shushan: “Fake is fake. Stop acting, aren’t you about to cry?”
Shen Shaojia quickly dialed Qingwu’s number, opening pitifully.
“Xiao Wu! Shen Shushan said I’m fake. Does he want me kicked out of the family? Boo hoo, sister can’t bear to part with you! Oh well, I know I’m not a member of the Shen family. I deserve this. I’ll leave this house at once…”
Qingwu felt overwhelmed and quickly comforted her, “Sister, I’ll make some time to visit you in Qingshan County and bring you some treats.”
“Then I want to take photos with you too!”
“Sure, we’ll take plenty.”
Shen Shaojia hung up contentedly and played the recording of the phone call to the chat group.
Shen Shushan was furious.
“You’re too much! This is sowing discord! Trying to gain sympathy from your sister! Right, second brother?”
Shen Zhongshuang didn’t bother with their quarrel in the chat but called Qingwu.
“Xiao Wu, want to have dinner tomorrow? I also want to take photos with you.”
“…Okay.”
Having dealt with the Shen family’s photo invitations, Qingwu heaved a sigh of relief.
She seldom took photos while with the Lin family, leaving almost no mementos behind.
Except for one cherished childhood photo kept by the old Lin lady, which was buried with her at her funeral, nothing of Qingwu remained at the Lin family.
Tu Lan, looking at the photo, saw Qingwu smiling so poised and gently. She turned her back to discreetly wipe her tears, then when no one was watching, leaned over to the phone and kissed the photo…
“Truly adorable, she’s my granddaughter, so wonderful.”

Qingwu’s heart trembled slightly, feeling the love from Tu Lan in such a small gesture, a warmth flowing through her heart.
Shen Boyi extended his hand to Qingwu, “Big brother will take you to the piano store, okay?”
“Okay.”
Once in the car with Shen Boyi, Qingwu heard him softly humming some tune. He seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood.
“Xiao Wu, back then, Dad and Mom weren’t like this. Dad was always strong-willed, but after finding out that Shaojia wasn’t our child, he suddenly changed. If you saw him before, you might have thought he was a stern-faced man who rarely smiled.”
“Once, when there was an elevator accident at a mall, a child got stuck inside. Dad could have called someone to accompany the child, but he sat by the door himself, saying that if you ever faced danger outside and someone was willing to keep you company like this, it would be good.”
“Our family has always been involved in charity, especially in the past two years. Once, when Grandma said it was Mom’s fault for losing you, it made Mom cry and fall ill… Shaojia is great too, but we missed you a lot.”
“Now that you’re with us, you don’t know how happy we are.”
Qingwu remained silent for a moment and then smiled.
“Yes, I know, and I’m very happy too.”
Shen Boyi reached out and gently patted her soft hair.
“At first, Shaojia found me. She said once you returned home, she would leave the Shen family, but thinking about how Grandpa and Grandma couldn’t bear to let her go, let alone Mom and Dad, we decided against it.”
Qingwu also knew it was initially difficult for the Shen family.
“Sister is great. Even after finding her family, we are still family, aren’t we?”
Shen Boyi was slightly startled, then he felt both relieved and moved, and pinched Qingwu’s cheek.
His sister was simply wonderful!
No wonder she was a Shen family kid!
He sent what Qingwu had just said verbatim to Shen Shaojia, along with a few scolding remarks, telling Shen Shaojia to stay honestly in the Shen family because she would always be part of it.
Shen Shaojia quickly responded with a string of crying emojis.
“Sister is my little angel! Big brother! What right do you have to scold me, you piece of crap!”
“Blah blah blah! Sister loves me, I love sister! Big brother, get blocked!”
Shen Boyi looked at his phone, his temples throbbing.
After a while, he smiled and cursed.
“What a mischievous girl, with no manners.”
Yet his mouth was still curved up in a smile, full of joy.
…
Ning City, Lin family villa.
Lin Jingsheng and Qian Yueqiang were rudely thrown at the villa’s entrance, as an unmarked car sped away.
Lin Xuecheng heard the noise and ran out, only to see the Lin couple lying on the ground, covered in injuries…
“Mom, Dad, what happened to you? I definitely sent the money already!”
Lin Jingsheng slapped Lin Xuecheng across the face!
“You little brat, did you deliberately stall for time? Making us get beaten so much! You did it on purpose!”
Half of Lin Xuecheng’s face went numb from the slap.
It was her first time being hit!
“Dad, how could you do this? I went through so much to borrow the money, I have to pay it back…”
Assisted by the maid, Lin Jingsheng and Qian Yueqiang went inside, sitting on the sofa, sighing heavily.
“Pay back? Didn’t you borrow from Lu Mingchuan? Just deduct it from the dowry then, what payback?”
This was five million. If Lin Jingsheng really had to fork out five million, it would be the end of him!
There was no way he would pay it back!
Lin Xuecheng hesitated, “But…”
“No buts, call a doctor quickly! Ouch! It hurts so much!”
Seeing Lin Jingsheng and Qian Yueqiang bruised all over, Lin Xuecheng was worried and anxious.
“Should we report it to the police?”
Lin Jingsheng irritably rolled his eyes, “Report to the police? They can drop us at our doorstep, what should we be afraid of! Go and get the doctor quickly!”
Most importantly, during the beating, Lin Jingsheng vaguely heard something about illegal activities involving their Lin company…
If he reported it to the police and those things got reported by the other party, the Lin family would be completely done for!
