Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 179 Xiao Chengzhou, when did you have another daughter?

Under the dim street lights, Fu Huaizhi sat quietly in the back seat of the car.

The night breeze outside the car window blew gently across his cheek through the half-open window, bringing a cool touch, but it was unable to dispel the boredom in his heart.

His fingers gently stroked the screen of his mobile phone, his eyes fixed on the wedding photo of Shen Qianhe and Xie Jincheng on the screen.

In the photo, Shen Qianhe is wearing a white wedding dress with a smile as blooming as a flower. Xie Jincheng, standing next to her, is wearing a well-ironed suit with deep eyes, revealing a majesty that should not be underestimated.

Fu Huaizhi looked at the photo and his fingers tightened unconsciously, almost crushing the phone screen.

Xie Jincheng, the patriarch of the Xie family, the largest family in Beijing, is a man who holds the power of the family at a young age.

Fu Huaizhi had heard of him a long time ago, not only because of Xie Jincheng's family status, but also because of his business skills and decisiveness.

Some time ago, Fu Huaizhi participated in the bidding for the Yacheng Resort project on behalf of the Fu family and had a brief confrontation with Xie Jincheng.

He was deeply impressed by the courage and means shown by Xie Jincheng in that bidding.

Fu Huaizhi looked at the man in the photo, his eyes becoming deep.

Why would Shen Qianhe marry Xie Jincheng?

After all, he is Ye Xiangan's uncle.

Could it be that Xie Jincheng had used trickery to snatch Shen Qianhe away from Ye Xiangan?

Fu Huaizhi's eyes deepened. He picked up his phone and called his assistant Hu Mu.

Hu Mu's respectful voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "Second Young Master, what do you want?"

"Hu Mu, I need you to find someone to investigate Xie Jincheng of the Xie family in Beijing."

Fu Huaizhi spoke in a low voice and slowly, "I want to know why Shen Qianhe married him."

"Find out as many details as possible."

......

A week after Shen Qianyu moved into the Gangcheng Sanatorium, Xiao Chengzhou returned with Xu Shuqin.

That evening, Shen Qianhe saw Gu Wanwan off and when he returned home, he unexpectedly found some unfamiliar faces in the manor.

"Ms. Chizuru, Mr. and Mrs. are back."

The housekeeper had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Shen Qianhe coming back, he immediately came up to him with a gentle smile on his face.

The lady is back!

Her mother Xu Shuqin is back!

Shen Qianhe's heart was beating rapidly.

"Butler, can I go see them?"

"Of course, Ms. Chizuru."

The butler smiled and replied, "I am here to take you there. The gentleman is already waiting for you upstairs."

Shen Qianhe followed behind the housekeeper, and as the elevator slowly rose, her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

The corridor on the sixth floor was quiet, with only her and the housekeeper's footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.

With every step he took, Shen Qianhe felt that he was getting closer to the person he had been thinking about.

The tension and anticipation grew stronger and stronger, and she had even silently rehearsed her opening remarks for when she met her mother.

The heartwarming scenes of her past interactions with her mother kept flashing through her mind. Those memories that had been buried by time were reawakened at this moment, making her feel both familiar and unfamiliar.

In the reception room, Xiao Chengzhou was sitting on the sofa, holding a fruit knife in his hand, peeling an apple.

Seeing Shen Qianhe, he looked up with a smile.

"Chizuru, you're here."

Shen Qianhe glanced towards the reception room. Apart from Xiao Chengzhou, she did not see the person she wanted to see.

A sense of loss and confusion arose in her heart, but she still tried to stay calm and asked softly: "Dad, where is my mom?"

Xiao Chengzhou paused while peeling an apple, then he gently patted the empty seat next to him, motioning for her to come and sit down.

Although Shen Qianhe's steps were a little hesitant, he still moved and sat next to Xiao Chengzhou.

Xiao Chengzhou cut off a piece of the freshly peeled apple. The crystal flesh looked particularly tempting under the light.

He took out a small silver fruit fork, gently inserted the apple pieces, and then handed it to Shen Qianhe.

"Come, try it and see if it's sweet. This is your mother's favorite apple."

Shen Qianhe took the small silver fork and took a bite carelessly. The sweet juice instantly spread in her mouth, but she had no intention of tasting it.

Xiao Chengzhou's voice was low and gentle, "Your mother has gone to change her clothes and will be out soon."

At this point, he paused and said a little embarrassedly: "When she comes out, you can tell her who you are..."

Shen Qianhe swallowed the apple in her mouth. She could feel Xiao Chengzhou's hesitation and uneasiness.

She took a deep breath and took the initiative to answer: "I just said that I was my brother's classmate and came to visit my home."

On the way here, the housekeeper had already reminded her.

He said that his wife has been in a bad mental state since she woke up.

She often suffers from nightmares, and if she is forced to recall past events, she will suffer from severe headaches.

In the past two years, Xiao Chengzhou has handed over the gang affairs to Xiao Heng, and has devoted more time to taking care of Xu Shuqin.

In order to allow her to recover from her illness, Xiao Chengzhou made up a beautiful past for her.

He told Xu Shuqin that they got married after graduating from college and their married life was very happy and sweet.

The next year, they had Xiao Heng.

Later, on the way out, Xu Shuqin unfortunately encountered a car accident, which caused her to sleep for many years.

Xu Shuqin believed everything Xiao Chengzhou said about the past.

Therefore, in her current understanding, she only knew that she had only one son, Xiao Heng.

Shen Qianhe understood Xiao Chengzhou's painstaking efforts.

She was not obsessed with whether her mother Xu Shuqin could recognize her and recall the past.

She only cares about whether her mother is living a good life.

As long as she is well, everything is fine.

"I'm sorry, Chizuru. I know this isn't fair to you and Chiba, but I..."

Xiao Chengzhou spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse and apologetic.

"Your mother and I have missed so many years. Over the years, I have often regretted and blamed myself. The past time cannot be recovered. I just want her to be happy now."

Shen Qianhe listened to Xiao Chengzhou's words and silently finished eating the apple in his hand.

"I'm sorry, Chizuru, I..."

"What are you sorry for?"

She put down the silver fork in her hand, smiled gently, reached out and patted Xiao Chengzhou on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"It's no big deal! Since you are so devoted to my mother, I won't care so much! I hand my mother over to you, you must treat her well in the future and don't let me down~"

The butler standing by stared with wide eyes.

He secretly marveled in his heart that, apart from the deceased master, this young lady was probably the only one in the world who dared to pat her boss on the shoulder so casually and speak to him in such a tone.

Xiao Chengzhou was stunned by her sudden action at first, but then he was amused by her words.

"Not bad, you are worthy of being my good daughter, Xiao Chengzhou!"

The two were laughing when suddenly, a crisp sound of footsteps was heard in the corridor.

"Hey, Xiao Chengzhou, when did you have another daughter?"
