Ch. 211..215: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 211-215
Chapter 211: Chapter 211 Yin Hehe, You’re Really Ruthless! Chapter 211: Chapter 211 Yin Hehe, You’re Really Ruthless! “As quickly as possible,”
Finally, Sheng Siyuan withdrew his gaze, continued to work, and frowned as he urged on.
Chen Xiaosen was instantly overjoyed.
He actually wanted to tell the president about this.
But Caicai had instructed him that Yin Hehe did not want this man to know her true identity.
Forget it, let’s talk about it later.
Soon after, he left the company with the household registration book and successfully had the police upload Yin Hehe’s fingerprint data to the international platform.
“Caicai, so I’ll send the documents over now, okay? You need to process them quickly and send them back because the president still needs them,”
“Got it.”
Caicai answered somewhat impatiently.
“But how did you manage to get it from him so fast? You didn’t tell him about Hehe, did you?”
Suddenly, Caicai thought of this and immediately asked.
Chen Xiaosen hastily denied, “No, I didn’t tell the president. He gave me the household registration book because he happened to have something for me to do.”
“What was it?”
“He… he’s planning to marry Miss Jian Rou.”
Chen Xiaosen said with a hint of discomfort.
In that moment, Caicai heard this, and a surge of rage erupted in her chest; she hung up the phone fiercely.
This heartless scoundrel!
—
Sheng Siyuan was indeed planning to marry Jian Rou.
Marriage, at this point for him, didn’t matter with which woman, as long as it could bring benefits to Shengshi.
Then he wouldn’t have too many requirements.
“Son, when are you two going to get your marriage certificate? The sooner this is done, the sooner your uncle can feel at ease,”
That day, he returned home from the company to find the old lady, who had waited all day in Shengfei Bay, immediately asking eagerly.
Sheng Siyuan put down his bag and cast a faint glance at her.
“In a couple of days, the household book isn’t ready yet.”
“This…”
Upon hearing this, the old lady’s face suddenly turned rather unsightly.
“I’ve said it long ago, since Yin Hehe divorced you five years ago, you should have made her family move her out of the household registration. Now look, she’s dead and you still have to cancel her registration; it’s so troublesome even after death.”
As the old lady spoke more and more, she even let such unpleasant words slip out.
In a second, the man’s gaze fell back on her face, his voice bone-chilling, “Accumulate some merit for your grandson!”
“I…”
The old woman, scolded like that, had her entire old face blushing red.
In the end, she sullenly changed the subject.
“Alright then, you can get the certificate once it’s ready. I’ll take Xiaorou to order the wedding dress and jewelry first.”
Then, she hurriedly left.
Sheng Siyuan coldly put down the glass in his hand and also prepared to go upstairs.
But unexpectedly, just as he reached the second floor, he saw two little things blocking his way, one of them was Cen Bao with a livid face.
The other was Little Bun, hiding behind his brother, but with his little fists clenched tightly.
“Why are you going back on your word?”
“What?”
Sheng Siyuan stared at the two small beings who were full of hostility towards him, and a trace of annoyance rose.
“When have I ever gone back on my word?”
“Right now!!” The four-year-old little guy, with his naturally crescent-shaped eyes, was red.
“You clearly said that you would be with mommy, but now you’re going to marry another woman and you’ve sent mommy away. You’re a liar!”
He yelled angrily at his daddy.
And in his anger, he even forgot the secret he had been holding back, calling out for mommy, shaking violently with fury.
Little Bun felt the same.
“Yes, you’ve deceived us, you’re a baddie, and I won’t forgive you either, wuwu~~”
The sound of a baby’s wails filled the air.
As soon as Sheng Siyuan heard it, it was as if his brain was about to explode, and he finally lost the last shred of his patience.
“Do I need your forgiveness? Who do you think you are? You’re just her bastard with another man, I’ve done well enough by raising you, and you think you have the right to forgive me?”
“… Wah!!”
Little Bun cried even harder behind his brother.
Cen Bao was enraged.
He lost control and roared, “My sister is not a bastard, she is also your child, she was born to mommy just like us!”
“!!!!”
The entire second floor seemed to have suddenly hit the pause button.
The man stood there.
For a long time, he stared at the little one who was crying until he was out of breath, his mind a complete blank.
What had he just heard?
This little girl… was also his child?
He stared at her, and suddenly, it felt as if he couldn’t catch his breath.
“Young master, what are you doing? She’s just a little girl, how can you take out your anger on her?”
Finally, Auntie Ke stepped forward, picked up the child who was in tears, and scolded him.
Then, holding the child, she left.
Sheng Siyuan’s head buzzed, and after a long while, he staggered a couple of steps, leaning on the staircase railing behind him, and “thud”, he fell down on the steps.
Only then did he feel somewhat better.
Why?
Why had this woman kept such a big secret from him? Ridiculous, he had actually never noticed before.
What else had she not told him?
If she had never married or been with another man, could there be a possibility that, deep down, she had always cared for only him?
His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Immediately, he took out his cellphone and dialed that familiar number.
“hello, the number you dialled is turned off.”
However, this was the response from the phone.
He paused.
Undaunted, he dialed several more times.
Finally, when the phone itself grew hot, he gave up. His handsome face then returned to its ashen color.
“President, why are you sitting here? Are you feeling ill?”
Xu Guannan came over and was surprised to see him sitting on the steps.
The man’s mouth moved slightly.
But in the end, until he got up to leave, he didn’t make a sound.
Instead, when he went back to his room and slowly closed the door, the moment he stepped into the bathroom and saw his detestable self in the mirror, he raised his hand and fiercely slapped his own face!
He had actually failed to realize even this.
That little girl, she clearly resembled her mother so much, and moreover, when that woman left her with him, she had never been on her guard.
Yet, he had chosen to believe her lies.
He really was the biggest idiot in the world!
“Smack!”
He slapped himself again with the back of his hand.
In an instant, the crisp sound even reached Xu Guannan outside the room.
“President, don’t worry, if you really want to find the madam, I’ll go look for her right away!”
He said anxiously from outside.
But after waiting a long time, he only heard the person inside reply with a hoarse voice full of mockery, “She won’t be coming back!”
“…”
Indeed, the daughter he had never been told the truth about, she had left her behind.
This clearly showed that this woman never wanted to see him again.
Yin Hehe, you are truly ruthless!
Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Go Find Mommy! Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Go Find Mommy! Sheng Siyuan didn’t sleep well that night.
It was almost dawn when he finally closed his eyes for a moment, but he was soon awakened by a persistent “thump thump” knocking at the door.
“Who is it?”
He had no choice but to get up and open the door with a sullen, handsome face.
To his surprise, the person who appeared at the door so early in the morning was his eldest son, also with a gloomy little face.
“Sheng Xi? Why are you up so early?”
“Daddy, my brother and sister are missing!” Sheng Xi said, his little fists clenched tightly, fighting back his anger to tell Daddy.
Sheng Siyuan was stunned for a moment.
After a moment, he came to his senses, and his face changed dramatically; without even changing his clothes, he rushed out.
As expected, when he got to the two children’s rooms in the main building and pushed the door open, he saw the little beds untouched.
“Where have they gone?”
“How would I know?” Sheng Xi replied, still seething with anger.
“If it wasn’t for you yelling at my sister and driving Mommy away, they wouldn’t have disappeared. Daddy, you’ve let me down so much!”
For the first time, the little guy scolded Daddy without any mercy.
Because all along, he had been on Daddy’s side, but this time, Daddy had indeed gone too far.
The little guy turned and ran off.
Sheng Siyuan stood still for a second. After a moment, he came to his senses and immediately made a call to gather everyone here.
“Are you all pigs? You didn’t even notice two small children going missing? Are you all blind?”
His anger was like thunder!
His bloodshot eyes glared at this group as if he wanted to tear them to shreds right there and then.
The bodyguards and maids were silent as cicadas in winter.
In the end, it was Xu Guannan who tracked down the children’s whereabouts and hurried over.
“President, we’ve found out. Cen Bao, the young master, hid in the gardener’s truck and left last night. I’ve contacted the gardener already,” he said as he passed over a surveillance video.
In an instant, the man snatched the video and stared intently at the screen.
Indeed, the surveillance footage showed the little guy stealthily appearing around the truck in the dark, and after confirming that he wasn’t spotted, quickly hiding back. Soon after, he led a plump Little Bun out from there.
“Let’s go. We’ll hide in here and leave this place to find Mommy!”
“Okay.”
Little Bun followed behind his brother and immediately agreed in a milky voice.
Soon, the two little guys climbed into the truck, and when the gardener finished his work and went back, he had no idea there were stowaways in the back as he drove away from Shengfei Bay.
“Shit!”
Seeing this scene, the man exploded with rage, smashing his phone fiercely onto the ground.
“What are you still doing standing here? Go find them now!” he roared.
Instantly, the bodyguards in the living room shivered at his command, and everyone hurried out to search.
Xu Guannan was no exception.
But as he reached the door, a thought struck him, and he turned back to look at the man who seemed to be losing control.
“President, does the young master know where Madam is?”
“How should I know?” he roared back like a cornered beast.
“That damned woman, if anything happens to the children because of her, even if she’s at the ends of the earth, I, Sheng Siyuan, will never let her off!”
His eyes were blood red.
It was as if all his rage erupted at that moment, and he wished he could tear that woman to pieces.
Indeed, if it hadn’t been for her, things wouldn’t have gotten this bad.
She left so casually.
But look at what’s become of the home because of her.
The black Bentley tore out of the estate like a streak of lightning.
But in reality, the man would never know that Yin Hehe had not revealed her whereabouts to the children this time.
This time, she had resolved to leave the children with him.
So, the two little ones who ran away from Shengfei Bay last night didn’t find Mommy either.
At that moment, they were wandering aimlessly in the airport terminal.
“Brother, what do we do? We can’t get on the plane to find Mommy.”
After being turned away again by the airline counter, Little Bun wrapped his plump little hands tightly around his brother, and teardrops fell like grapes from his large watery eyes.
Cen Bao’s little brow furrowed as well.
He was also heading to the airport with his younger sister for the first time without their mommy, who had always taken them before.
So, he had no idea that they needed their own documents to board the plane, not just to follow an adult.
Cen Bao decided to think of another plan.
“Let’s go find that police uncle and tell him Mommy left us here. He should send us back.”
The little guy was smart. Out of options, he came up with this idea.
Little Bun immediately agreed happily.
The siblings approached the patrolling officer, but just as they were about to speak to him, he turned and walked away.
“Big brother, Youyou wants to go home…”
Seeing this, Little Bun couldn’t hold on any longer.
Following her brother, her sweat-drenched little face turned pale, and after rubbing her reddened eyes, she said tearfully.
Cen Bao was tired too.
But he couldn’t give up. After looking around, he decided to first find a place for his sister to sit and rest.
“Come on, brother will hold you for a bit.”
Like a little adult, he sat down on the chair and pulled his tired sister over.
Little Bun sat in her brother’s embrace.
In no time, the tired and sleepy girl fell asleep on her brother.
“This little boy is so sensible, only four or five years old, yet he knows how to take care of his sister.”
“Yes, such a good boy, where are their parents?”
Passersby who witnessed the scene were moved.
They looked puzzled.
Cen Bao, always vigilant, immediately hugged his sister tighter and looked very alert.
“My mommy went to check in.”
He cleverly made up an excuse.
On hearing this, the travelers breathed a sigh of relief, but a strange man and woman didn’t buy it and approached with ill intent.
“But I’ve been watching you for a long time, and I haven’t seen your parents. Did they abandon you?”
“No!”
Cen Bao immediately denied it firmly.
He then woke his sister and was about to leave with her.
However, the woman’s expression confirmed her suspicions upon seeing their reaction.
They quickly changed their story.
“Sweetheart, did you wait long? Daddy and Mommy will take you home now.”
Then, the woman reached out to grab them both.
Little Bun, just woken up, was stunned for a moment.
Only the clever Cen Bao, sensing something was wrong, swiftly dodged with his sister, staying alert.
“Who are you? I don’t know you!”
“Don’t know us?” The woman immediately called out again.
“What’s with this child? It’s all your fault. Why argue? Now the kids won’t even listen to us.”
She turned and scolded the man next to her.
The man immediately begged for forgiveness.
“Wife, I was wrong. I won’t argue with you anymore. Let’s take the kids home and stop making a scene here.”
“Okay!”
The two of them immediately approached to grab Cen Bao and Youyou again.
Onlookers started to believe them.
“It seems you really are the children’s parents. How could you do this? The children are so pitiful.”
“Yes, go comfort them and take them home.”
“Alrighty!”
The malicious man and woman were overjoyed.
Cen Bao’s face finally changed color, and as the two bad people were about to come and grab him and his sister, he grabbed his sister’s hand and was ready to run.
“Thinking of running?”
Regrettably, before he could even move, the malicious woman behind them had grabbed Youyou.
In an instant, Little Bun began to scream loudly, “Brother!”
Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Have You Never Thought of Looking for Her? Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Have You Never Thought of Looking for Her? At the critical moment!
A towering figure suddenly strode in from the main entrance. Seeing the scene before him, he immediately rushed over and viciously kicked the woman.
“Utterly suicidal!”
“Ah—”
In an instant, the woman screamed miserably and fell to the ground.
Meanwhile, the tall man swiftly caught Little Bun, who was in her arms.
“Big… Uncle…”
Little Bun, too frightened to even cry.
Upon seeing him, her chubby little hands immediately wrapped around his neck, unwilling to let go.
Indeed, this man was none other than Yin Beixiao who had hurried over upon hearing the news.
The other man, seeing the situation turn dire, also tried to run.
But what sort of person was Yin Beixiao? He was a man of military background. Seeing this animal attempting to escape?
“Crack!”
With the niece in his arms, he easily threw a punch.
Right there and then, the man’s ribs were completely broken, collapsing to the ground, unable to move again.
Upon seeing this, Cen Bao immediately ran to his uncle’s side as well.
“Big Uncle, you finally came.”
The little one, still in shock, could no longer hold back, and tears began to fall from his small eyes.
Yin Beixiao immediately picked him up too.
About ten minutes later, at the airport police office.
When Sheng Siyuan arrived frantically, Yin Beixiao, without saying anything, stood up from the chair and landed a heavy punch on him!
“Um—”
In a split second, Sheng Siyuan staggered several steps.
His mouth was bleeding.
Cen Bao and Little Bun witnessed this, and instantly, their eyes showed great horror as they clung to each other tightly.
“You despicable creature, I should’ve cut you into pieces long ago! All these years have passed, and I thought you might have changed a bit, but what’s the result? You’re still no different from an animal. Why on earth would Hehe fall for someone like you?”
After hitting him, Yin Beixiao, still uncontrollable with rage, pointed at the man and cursed vehemently.
The Shengshi bodyguards waiting outside saw this and were finally overwhelmed with rage, ready to burst in.
But at that moment, the man inside stopped them with a hand gesture.
“Are you done venting?”
He slowly stood up, leaning on the chair, and felt the metallic taste at the corner of his lips, which he touched with his hand.
He then emotionlessly wiped it away.
Yin Beixiao continued to glare at him with an ashen face, “If I had a weapon, I would blow your brains out!”
“Then you would have to raise the three of them.”
“…”
The entire police office was filled with a thick smell of gunpowder, leaving everyone present too afraid to make a sound.
Including the two little ones.
But at that very moment, the man with blood on his mouth tenderly turned to look at them.
“Come here, Daddy has something he wants to tell you.”
“…”
It took over a minute before the tightly wound Cen Bao finally let go of his sister and built up the courage to approach his father.
“How are you? Did you get hurt anywhere?”
Sheng Siyuan squatted down and gently touched his son’s face. His tone was softer than it had ever been before.
Cen Bao gripped his hand tightly, still not speaking.
Seeing this, the man lowered his head and fell silent for a few seconds.
“I’m very sorry. Daddy was wrong yesterday. I shouldn’t have gotten angry at your sister, and I especially shouldn’t have kept the truth about your mommy and me from you.”
Unexpectedly, upon speaking again, he began to apologize, and even took the initiative to mention their mommy.
The little one finally widened his eyes slightly.
“I’ve never said I didn’t want your mommy to stay here, and your mommy and I… we’ve never divorced. It’s that she didn’t want to stay, and I… was powerless to change it.”
Sheng Siyuan was holding his son’s tiny arm when, at this moment, he told the four-year-old child the whole truth.
That voice, apart from being strained,
was more filled with helpless resignation, and his utter exhaustion.
Yes, that woman, if she truly wanted to leave, he really had no way to keep her here.
Because, if he used force,
given her tenacity, it would likely lead to more serious consequences. So why bother? He certainly didn’t want to see the children end up without a mother in the end.
Cen Bao was stunned.
Yin Beixiao, who came along after, also froze upon hearing this, with the anger still unsettled on his face.
So… the truth was like this?
No wonder that damn girl disappeared without a word this time, and now she can’t be found anywhere.
So it was that she didn’t want to stay!
“Then why didn’t Daddy tell Mommy about this? If she knew, she would stay,” Cen Bao finally snapped back to reality.
The corners of his crescent-like eyes quickly turned red, and he looked at his daddy, his voice trembling as if he were about to cry.
“Yes, Mommy definitely doesn’t know, we have to tell her!”
Little Bun had also waddled over on his chubby little legs by now.
She walked up to Daddy, with Jin Doudou tears streaming down, her small chest heaving with urgency.
Sheng Siyuan looked at his two children.
All of a sudden, it felt as though his heart had been viciously stabbed, and without a word, he held the two little ones tightly in his embrace.
Of course not!
Because, to leave them all behind was the best evidence of how eager she was to get away from him.
When Sheng Siyuan finally left the airport with the two children, Yin Beixiao was calm and composed as he walked out with him.
“I don’t know what exactly happened between you two, but since Hehe came back this time, she’s put herself in danger so many times for you. I don’t believe she has no feelings for you, as you claim.”
“…”
“So, if you really want to keep her, you should go and have a proper talk with her. At the very least, you need to make her understand your feelings toward her.”
Yin Beixiao turned his head to look at the man he had beaten black and blue, holding back his irritation he gave a reminder.
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
It wasn’t until the man drove away that he got into the car with the children.
“President, so what are your plans now?”
“No plans,” unexpectedly, the man still maintained an indifferent attitude.
“…”
Just about to start the car,
he heard the man in the back, staring out the window, say in a hoarse voice: “If she really cared, she wouldn’t have let me go through with this wedding!”
“Screech!”
The car that had just started thus came to a halting stop.
Xu Guannan was staring dumbfounded into the rear-view mirror at the man behind him, and for a long time, he couldn’t utter a single word.
So, this wedding was never a real wedding, but a grand play directed by this man.
The goal was to force that woman to come back!
Is that so?
—
Half a month later.
Jian Rou, staying at the Sheng family mansion, finally reached the day they could get their marriage certificate, and she excitedly went to find her aunt.
“Auntie, didn’t my cousin say that the household registration book would be ready today? So, can we get our certificate today?”
“Right, right…”
The old lady was reminded by this and also suddenly remembered this matter.
Therefore, she immediately had the driver take the two of them to Shengfei Bay, blocking Sheng Siyuan who was just about to go to work.
Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Fulfill Her Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Fulfill Her “Son, didn’t you say the household registration book would be ready today? I’ve brought Xiaorou over, you two should go get your marriage certificate first.”
As soon as the old lady arrived, she didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose to Sheng Siyuan.
Jian Rou, standing by her side, blushed so much that she dared not lift her head.
But Sheng Siyuan just glanced at them indifferently.
“I need to meet with a major client right now; the certificate can wait.”
“It can wait?”
The old lady was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
“How can it wait? I’ve already arranged Xiaorou’s wedding dress and jewelry, and the banquet hall is booked. The guests have been notified; how can you say it’s not urgent?”
“Cousin, I… I’ve also told my dad, and my mom has informed our relatives there, and everything is ready.”
Jian Rou also spoke up shyly and timidly from the side.
Hearing this, the man finally knitted his brows, his handsome face etched with a serious expression as he considered the matter.
“But this client is placing an order worth hundreds of millions.”
“…Hundreds of millions?”
“Yes. How about this, the wedding can still go ahead as planned, and as for the certificate, we can take care of it once I’m less busy.”
He finally provided an answer, his tone was gentle, and he seemed to be sincerely considering the issue.
The old lady heard this and was about to argue again.
However, Jian Rou, seeing this, didn’t want to cause further complications and quickly pulled her aunt aside.
“Okay, let’s do as cousin says. After all, once we have the ceremony in front of everyone, I will be your… wife. There’s no rush for the rest.”
She even took it upon herself to speak for the man.
Sheng Siyuan nodded his head, showing his satisfaction, and then he stepped out of the living room to go to work.
Seeing this, the old lady could only let the matter drop.
Nevertheless, after they returned, they continued to prepare on a grand scale.
By the day of the wedding, nearly the whole of Jiangbei knew that the President of Shengshi Group was about to have a wedding.
“President, the wedding is tomorrow and there’s still no news from the misses… Should I go look for her?”
The night before the wedding, Xu Guannan came into the study to find the man still busy with work.
He couldn’t help but take the initiative to ask.
As his words fell, there were more than ten seconds of silence in the study, save for the sound of the man still steadily typing on the keyboard.
The air was devoid of any other sound.
Xu Guannan: “…”
“No need.”
Finally, after processing the last email, the man closed his computer and responded to the question.
“This is her last chance, and mine too. If she doesn’t show up, there’s no need to wait any further.”
He stood up and walked over to the bar to pour himself a glass of red wine, his demeanor utterly calm.
Even, one could say, indifferent.
Xu Guannan was stunned.
A grand scheme so meticulously planned, and to think his expectations for that woman were so bland?
What if she really didn’t show up?
Would he then marry that woman named Jian Rou?
Xu Guannan was so shocked it took him a long while to recover, only snapping back to reality when the man indicated he was going to rest, prompting Xu to leave the study.
It wasn’t okay, this person was so passive; as his assistant, he still had to do something about it.
He drove his car away from Shengfei Bay.
But that night, he looked for Yin Beixiao and even the lawyer from H country who had once helped them with a lawsuit in M country.
No one knew Yin Hehe’s whereabouts.
“Lawyer Lan hasn’t contacted me for a long time, and I don’t know where she went. I had even seen that her MSN account was canceled.”
“What did you say? Account canceled?”
Late at night, Xu Guannan finally got a bit of a clue from this lawyer.
MSN, it’s a foreign social media account.
For famous lawyers like Lan Yi, their account is extremely important, as clients use it to find her.
But she had actually cancelled it!
“Yes, but then I thought about it, and maybe since our Landun had disbanded, she no longer saw the need to keep her account,”
Yi Hao speculated in return.
Xu Guannan pondered for a long while before asking, “What about the others? Did they cancel theirs as well?”
“No, they still need it to make a living, how could they cancel it?”
Yi Hao blurted out.
It was this very comment that brought the matter back to a point of contention.
If everyone else needed it to make a living, why then would Yin Hehe cancel her account? Wasn’t that illogical?
Xu Guannan hung up the phone.
Just as he was about to contact a few other Landun lawyers to ask around, someone called him on his phone.
“Captain Xu, this is Jian Rou, I’m sorry to disturb you so late, but there’s something I’d like to ask you.”
It turned out to be the leading lady who was getting married tomorrow—Miss Jian Rou of the Jian Family.
Xu Guannan could only deal with this woman first.
“No problem, Miss Jian, please feel free to speak.”
“It’s like this, I wanted to ask… Hasn’t our CEO’s household registration booklet really not been sorted out yet?”
Jian Rou stuttered as she asked her question.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Guannan was taken aback.
He had not been the one to handle the household registration booklet, so he was completely unaware of this issue.
“I’m sorry Miss Jian, did the CEO tell you his booklet wasn’t ready yet?”
“Yes, he said he took it to cancel his ex-wife’s registration, but half a month has passed. Today, when I went to get our marriage certificate, he still didn’t agree, merely saying… he had to go on a business trip.”
This woman was indeed clever.
Although she had grabbed hold of the old lady during the day, deep down in her heart, she had always been worried about this issue. Unable handle it any longer, she called Xu Guannan, her close assistant, late at night.
Xu Guannan went silent.
Cancelling registration taking half a month was unheard of to him.
He hung up the phone.
Very soon, he was driving away from Shengfei Bay in the dead of night, headed straight for the residence of Chen Xiaosen, the CEO’s secretary in the downtown area.
This issue, since it wasn’t him who dealt with it, must then have been handled by this man.
Xu Guannan found Chen Xiaosen, and by this time, it was already the early hours of the morning, just ten hours away from the wedding ceremony.
“Xu Bro, you finally know about this matter. Yes, indeed I took the household registration booklet on a pretext, but I did it in order to find our lady,”
As expected, upon finding Chen Xiaosen, he delivered the news Xu Guannan most wanted to hear.
Xu Guannan’s eyes instantly lit up.
“Then, did you find her?”
“No!” Unfortunately, Chen Xiaosen still shook his head.
“Caicai and her team got our lady’s fingerprints, but for so long, they have not found any information on her. Now they’re suspecting that in order to hide herself completely, she even destroyed her own fingerprints!”
Chen Xiaosen said, not without disappointment.
To go as far as destroying her own fingerprints.
It was almost certain that there was little hope for the woman’s return; what kind of resolute heart must she have to make such a terrifying decision?
Xu Guannan was deeply disappointed.
He drove back to Shengfei Bay slowly, and just as he walked through the door, a sliver of dawn’s pale light broke across the sky.
Day had broken.
And the wedding… was about to begin.
Chapter 215: Chapter 215 Wedding Chapter 215: Chapter 215 Wedding Sheng Siyuan woke up.
In the manor, a brilliant swath of gold enveloped everything, spilling through the window right into his room, dazzling him momentarily.
“Young Master, are you awake? The old house has sent over the wedding attire, and also, the old lady is asking whether to arrange the bridal chamber here or not?”
Aunt Ke’s voice sounded from outside.
Upon hearing this, he got out of bed, casually slipped on a pair of slippers, and came over to open the door.
“Young Master?”
“Give me the outfit. There’s no need for the bridal chamber. Aunt Ke, stay home and take care of the children today; nobody will come to disturb you,” he commanded expressionlessly as he took the clothes inside.
Aunt Ke looked up at him upon hearing his words.
It was supposed to be a wedding, yet there was no sign of decoration here, nor any guests to be seen. What did this all mean?
“Young Master, will Miss Jian get angry at this? Don’t tell me… you won’t be living here with her in the future?”
Aunt Ke asked, full of puzzlement.
Upon hearing this, the man’s expression grew even colder in the chilly morning air.
“Isn’t there the old house? Let her live there,” he replied.
“This…”
“Alright, go look after the children. At this time, the little girl should be awake. I’ll get ready to leave,” he said.
Then, the man closed the door.
Outside, Aunt Ke, having no other option, sighed and went downstairs to take care of the children.
Half an hour later, when Xu Guannan arrived, what he saw was a handsome man, dressed in a suit and shoes with a red flower pinned to his chest, descending the stairs unhurriedly.
“President, are you… ready to set off?”
Having rushed around the entire night, Xu Guannan was actually a bit tired at this point.
Yet, upon seeing the man, he immediately approached and hesitantly asked.
He was deliberating whether or not to tell his boss about what he had discovered last night.
“Yes, something up?”
Sheng Siyuan glanced at his assistant, who seemed hesitant, and asked indifferently while adjusting his cuffs.
Xu Guannan: “It’s just… I went to check last night and still couldn’t find the lady.”
Finally, he bit the bullet and said it.
Upon hearing this, the man’s fingertips paused, and the next second, a hint of mockery emerged from the corners of his lips that were devoid of any warmth.
“Really?”
“Yes,” Xu Guannan swallowed hard.
“Chen Xiaosen said that when he held onto your household registration book for so long, it wasn’t to cancel the lady’s registration but because Miss Cai from Country R told him… after the lady returned, she sought out Miss Qiandai to change her face again, giving her a new identity.”
“…”
At that statement, the man, who was adjusting his sleeve, suddenly clenched his visibly jointed finger tightly, and in an instant, his knuckles turned white as veins bulged.
“And then?” he finally asked, word by word.
His voice was as chilling as if it had crept out from hell itself.
Xu Guannan instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
“Then, after she took on a new identity, she disappeared. Miss Cai hasn’t had any information on her since, and that’s why she contacted Chen Xiaosen, trying to obtain the lady’s fingerprints through him. Just when you asked Chen Xiaosen to cancel the registration using the household book, he sought the police and had the lady’s fingerprints uploaded to the international search platform, and the household book was mailed there as well.”
“…”
“However, unfortunately, after searching for half a month, they still haven’t found her. It’s possible that now… the lady has even destroyed her own fingerprints.”
As Xu Guannan voiced that last sentence, he didn’t dare meet the man’s eyes.
The abrupt drop in the surrounding temperature was terrifying.
It had been calm for so many days.
That overwhelming darkness, foreboding an imminent storm, now reappeared, making one’s scalp tingle with dread.
Destroy her fingerprints?
Heh heh~~
Within that emotionless face, as his chest filled with rage to its peak, he found to his astonishment that he was nearly incapable of an outburst; all he felt was his blood freezing in his heart, leaving him feeling hollow and suffocated.
Even hatred seemed to be drained of energy within him.
“President?”
“As she wishes!”
He finally calmed down, only managing to push those few words through his teeth.
Afterward, he strode out with long steps.
And this time, he deliberately straightened the boutonniere on his chest, as if he had finally faced the reality of the wedding.
Xu Guannan could only follow behind.
At ten o’clock in the morning, in a renowned five-star hotel under the Shengshi Group in Jiangbei, a grand wedding that had garnered the attention of many slowly unveiled its curtain.
“Xiaorou, I’ve confirmed it, your cousin is waiting for you at the wedding site. Let’s hurry down.”
“Okay!”
Jian Rou, already outfitted in her wedding gown, was thrilled as Jian Mother led her out the door.
She had been waiting for this wedding for a very long time.
Before long, she, in her pure white bridal dress, stepped out of the wedding car at the resplendent entrance of the hotel.
Indeed, she saw the man who had been waiting at the entrance.
He was dressed in a black groom’s suit, his neat short hair styled fresh and fashionable, which made him look spirited and elegant. His handsome facial features, accentuated by the red boutonniere on his chest, appeared even more astonishingly attractive.
Jian Rou was momentarily transfixed.
This man finally belonged to her.
“Cousin!”
Jian Rou excitedly got out of the car and ran towards him with joy.
Sheng Siyuan heard and turned back to look at her.
“You’re here?”
His tone was a bit indifferent.
But his expression grew gentler upon seeing her.
Jian Rou was content. She nodded and voluntarily hugged his arm, “Cousin, let’s go in.”
“Mmm.”
The man agreed as well.
Thus, the two of them entered the hotel and slowly walked toward the grand banquet hall, under the gaze of the media reporters gathered outside.
This wedding, for now, seemed indeed the most suitable.
The two families could each take what they needed, and the two individuals had grown up together, so both in terms of interests and life,
it was a perfect union.
Sheng Siyuan let the girl cling to his arm as they went inside.
“Clap clap clap clap…”
Upon their entrance, the guests waiting inside the banquet hall instantly greeted them with a thunderous applause.
“They’re such a good match; a truly talented man and a beautiful woman—a match made in heaven.”
“Exactly, after waiting so many years, we’re finally witnessing the wedding of the President of Shengshi; it’s not been easy.”
Amidst the cheers, some guests started chatting.
But at that moment, a couple proceeding with their wedding walked slowly toward the altar to the sounds of the wedding march.
“You’re mistaken, actually, he has been married before.”
“Married before?”
“Yes, I’m a relative of the Sheng Family. I know about it. Back then, he married a Miss from the Yin Family, but they didn’t have a wedding because he was sick at the time.”
Unexpectedly, someone at the banquet knew these secrets.
Suddenly, as their voices dropped, those who were gossiping grew louder.
“What’s going on? So, where is this Miss Yin now? Where did she go?”
“I don’t know, haven’t seen her for so many years. It’s like she vanished from the face of the earth.”
“And the police, they don’t investigate?”
Suddenly, a guest in the midst of the crowd posed a question.
Just then, the music stopped, and Sheng Siyuan led the woman by his side onto the wedding stage.
