Chapter 337: Who Would Benefit From Losing Jing Yun?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"How do I not do anything?" Mama Sheng asked urgently. "The others in the Sheng family won't be able to accept Jing Yun as a son-in-law, let alone Grandpa Sheng."

"Because Jing Yun has nothing to his name?"

"Sheng Xiao, this really wouldn't work. You can become engaged with Qiqi because she is a granddaughter of the Shen family, but Jing Yun…"

"Mom. Are you belittling Jing Yun too?" Sheng Xiao asked in return.

"I definitely acknowledge that child. How many years has he been at your side? But your grandfather…"

"You don't have to care about anything else as long as you acknowledge him." Sheng Xiao promptly cut her short. "Fourth Sister went to great lengths to open his heart, or that blockhead would have long since be an item with her."

Mama Sheng could only sigh at that. "When would you children be finally satisfied with stringing my heart up on a thread?"

That was exactly why Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao were convinced that their mother wouldn't tell the old man about Fourth Sister and Jing Yun.

"It's really worrying. Well, you should pass a message to Jing Yun—tell him and Fourth Sister to keep themselves in check, because the old man might come to her company from time to time."

After all, if Jing Yun knew that Mama Sheng had stumbled across their relationship, his heart would close up once more.

Mu Qiqi couldn't help sighing emotionally when she watched Sheng Xiao lower his phone. "Luckily it's Mom who found out. I can't imagine what would happen if it was Grandpa."

"Call Fourth Sister later," Sheng Xiao replied. "Try to tell her in a winding way so that she would be careful about his reaction."

Mu Qiqi nodded. "Got it. But, Xiao Xiao, this matter would have to be resolved eventually."

"Let's find out who he is first."

Sheng Xiao had planned for the worst initially since he never expected a connection between Jing Yun and the Xu family. Nonetheless, both matters should be mattered at once since it just might minimize any damage.

Naturally, that was only if Jing Yun proved to be a member of the Xu family and the Xu family hoping to recover their long-lost child.

***

Later in the afternoon, Jing Yun brought the information about the Xu family and handed it to Sheng Xiao, who eyed him with a smirk.

"You didn't read it?" He asked.

"No." Jing Yun shook his head calmly.

Undoing the string on the yellow paper bag and drawing out the report, Sheng Xiao soon realized that the Xu family had some extensive background.

The Xu family was one of the leading suppliers of medical equipment in the country, having worked years in that field and contributing considerably to the medical field.

The family had three children: Xu Yihong was their eldest son, Xu Wei their second daughter while their youngest, Xu Yifeng, had been missing for years.

As Sheng Xiao scrounged through the data and then glanced at the photo of youngest son, it became too obvious that it was Jing Yun in his childhood days.

Was there even a need to check?

That being said, the Xu family business was usually based on coastal cities, and had only branched into Jianchuan recently.

If they had always been a thousand miles away, why would Jing Yun be abandoned in Jianchuan?

After reading through the report, Sheng Xiao lowered the papers on his table and asked Jing Yun, "I can tell you for sure that you're a member of the Xu family. So? What do you think?"

Jing Yun did a double take, at a loss for words for the moment. "I don't know."

"I'm sure that the Mister and Missus Xu are still searching for you. They have been combing through every city they went to but to no avail."

"But… but I was abandoned." Jing Yun told Sheng Xiao about his dream then. "That dream has often come to me recently, that a man brought me to this far away place and left me here. Because this is the only way I would never return."

"That's not difficult to understand. How could the Xu family not recover their own child with their extensive family business? Someone was deliberately misdirecting them."

"With that being the case, we should first single out that person." Sheng Xiao said then, wheeling his office chair and studying Jing Yun carefully. "Really didn't expect that you would have such background."

"Young Master…"

"Of course, it's a completely different matter whether you would see them. We must find out who abandoned you… for a good torment."

Whether Jing Yun returned to the Xu family was Jing Yun's own choice which no one could interfere with.

On the other hand, it was time for the one who made Jing Yun suffer for so many years to pay the price.

Be that as it may, Sheng Xiao didn't tell Mama Sheng about the Xu family since they were not sure what happened with them for now.

Which was why Mama Sheng was still very worried.

Moreover, it was hard for her to not be interrogated by the old man when she returned to the Sheng house.

"How was it? Did you meet Fourth Sister?"

"I didn't get to see her today, but I've told her secretary that I mean to meet her." Mama Sheng replied, the scene of a certain young couple's intimacy still appearing in her mind.

"Be quick about it."

"I understand." Mama Sheng replied.

Fourth Sister had never wanted to stay in the Sheng family's residence, and even less so now that she was living with Sheng Xiao.

Mama Sheng really did not know what fantastic trick Sheng Xiao could play now.

***

Sheng Xiao wanted to investigate Jing Yun's abandonment, but wasn't sure how many people were involved.

Therefore, he obtained the reasons behind the third Xu child's disappearance without alerting any of the family members.

It turned out that the Xu family was caught in an internal struggle back then. Papa Xu and Jing Yun's eldest uncle were at each other's throat for control over the company but was left beaten, and was even looking about to make a move on Papa Xu's children.

To protect his family, Papa Xu had to send his wife and three children running.

Xu Yihong had fled to a family mansion on an isle and would meet up with his other siblings and mother in a few days, only for Mama Sheng to realize that her youngest son was gone by the time she got on a plane.

The Xu couple searched for ten years, but they just couldn't find their youngest son.

"On the surface, it would sound like Jing Yun's mother had abandoned him." Leaning on Sheng Xiao, Mu Qiqi read through the report as well. "But that's clearly wrong, because Jing Yun told us that someone deliberately left him far away from home."

"Thinking about it, there are just two possible theories: The uncle of the Xu family abducted Papa Sheng's son in revenge, so that he would lose his beloved son in return."

"The second theory is that it was another person who did it. The culprit nothing to do with the uncle, but who could it be? Who could benefit from Jing Yun going missing?"

Sheng Xiao held her after listening to her analysis and smiled meaningfully. "Whose cheese could Jing Yun have moved? Won't the truth be revealed when he returns?"

"Are you going to send him back to his family? The person in question looks very reluctant." Mu Qiqi said, looking at Jing Yun and finding him not all that keen.
