This was her father, the person who abandoned her and her mother. From his eyebrows, he could see the charm of his youth. He should have been a handsome man when he was young. No wonder his mother was poisoned by him. She was already in her forties, but there were very few wrinkles on her face. She had really taken good care of herself.
"Master, I don't know where this cheap girl came from, but she came to the residence to cause trouble. This concubine chased her out, but she hit this concubine instead. You must seek justice for me!" Liu Ruoruo pointed at Mo Shangqiu. She was crying her eyes out in Chen Shuheng's arms. She had long lost her demeanor as the head of the family.
Chen Shuheng followed Liu Ruoruo's finger and looked over, coincidentally meeting Mo Shangqiu's gaze as she sized him up. Their eyes communicated in the air, and Chen Shuheng was stunned. This pair of eyes seemed to belong to a person.
He had not seen her for more than ten years. He wondered how she was doing and whether she had remarried. Back then, he didn't have any power in his hands, so he had no choice but to chase her out of the residence. He didn't know that she hated him in her heart.
Chen Shu Heng's eyes were dull, but he immediately thought about it. There was still no news of her until now. Could this lady be someone close to her? Did he send her here to deliver a message?
"Who is Young Lady? Why did you barge into my Chen Manor in broad daylight?”Chen Shu Heng's expression was calm, but his heart had long been unable to hold it in. Perhaps he would be able to find her soon.
"You are Chen Shuheng?" Mo Shangqiu raised an eyebrow, half serious and half casual.
"I am." Chen Shuheng wondered if Wan 'er had told her his name.
"In the past ten years, have you ever looked for her?”Mo Shangqiu didn't know why she was asking Chen Shuheng so much nonsense. Back then, he had already abandoned both mother and son. What was the use of asking this now? Her mother would not be able to come back either.
Chen Shuheng saw that Mo Shangqiu was calm and collected a second ago, but in the next second, her face was tense. Could it be…
"You know where she is?" Chen Shuheng grabbed Mo Shangqiu's hand excitedly, leaving Liu Ruoruo to the side.
Liu Ruoruo looked at the excited Chen Shuheng and a trace of light flashed in her eyes.
Ruthless. After so many years, this old fart still hadn't forgotten that slut.
Mo Shangqiu did not expect Chen Shuheng to be so agitated. Could it be that he had looked for his mother? He began to feel puzzled.
When Chen Shuheng saw that Mo Shangqiu did not reply, he realized that he had been rude. He let go of Mo Shangqiu's hand and looked up at the people in the courtyard, feeling dissatisfied.
"What are you waiting for? Get down." Chen Shuheng shouted at the people who had left the courtyard. He wanted to find Wan 'er. He wanted to find her.
"Master." Liu Ruoruo called out to Chen Shuheng aggrievedly, but Chen Shuheng didn't even look at her. Right now, he only wanted to know Mo Wanxin's whereabouts, so how could he care about Liu Ruoruo?
Liu Ruoruo saw that Chen Shuheng didn't care about her existence, so she left hatefully and went to her own courtyard. When she returned to her room, she heard the sound of things breaking.
Liu Ruoruo threw the ornaments in the room without any pity. These vases were all given to her by her father. Which one of them was not priceless, but she used them as venting products.
Mo Shangqiu was invited to the study by Chen Shuheng. Only his parents were left in the study. Mo Shangqiu did not stand on ceremony and casually sat down.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen Shuheng. She wanted to see what kind of explanation he would give her.
Chen Shuheng saw that Mo Shangqiu did not speak and was anxious to know Mo Wanxin's whereabouts. He was the only one who could speak.
"Miss, do you know where Wan 'er is?”Chen Shuheng could not hide the joy in his eyes, and even his tone became lighter.
"You want to know?" Mo Shangqiu did not answer but asked a question instead. In her heart, she despised Chen Shuheng even more. She had not looked for her mother for so many years, and now she heard news of her mother. He was as anxious as a dog. Why wasn't he anxious in the past? He looked like he was suffering.
"If Young Lady knows, please tell this old master so that this old master can send someone to look for her.”Chen Shuheng was indulging in wild fantasies. He did not notice the mocking look in Mo Shangqiu's eyes at all. Was she going to look for her mother's grave now?
"I'm afraid you won't be able to find her." Mo Shangqiu calmly recounted the fact that her mother was no longer alive. However, his heart was in turmoil, and his hatred for Chen Shuheng increased.
"If I can't find her, does she not want to see me?”Chen Shuheng sat on the chair in a daze. Mo Shangqiu felt very comfortable looking at him like this.
She wanted to take it back slowly. They had to pay back what they owed their mother. The corners of Mo Shangqiu's lips curled up, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
"She gave birth to a daughter." Mo Shangqiu's face was filled with joy, but she was observing Chen Shuheng's every move.
"Daughter." Chen Shu Heng lowered his head and muttered to himself. That's right, how could he forget that Wan 'er was chased out of the residence because she was pregnant? That daughter was his flesh and blood. In order for her to give birth to the child safely, he had no choice but to make that move.
The child that Wan 'er was pregnant with was his. She was not involved with anyone else. But at that time, he was incompetent and could not even protect the mother and daughter.
Chen Shuheng's head was lowered. Mo Shangqiu did not see the emotions in his eyes. He was feeling depressed. Chen Shuheng raised his head again, his eyes shining.
"Do you know where my daughter is?" Chen Shuheng waited expectantly for Mo Shangqiu to answer him.
Mo Shangqiu was stunned. She did not expect Chen Shuheng to suddenly ask about her existence. She could not tell what she was feeling in her heart. Did he care about the mother and daughter or was he just pretending? Mo Shangqiu thought that he must have faked it. Could it be that he didn't know who harmed his mother?
"Far away." Mo Shangqiu's voice was even colder than before. She should hate everyone here.
Only then did Chen Shuheng carefully size up Mo Shangqiu again. Her eyes were really exactly the same as Mo Wanxin's, but they didn't look alike.
Chen Shuheng stood up from his chair and quickly walked over to Mo Shangqiu.
"You're really my daughter. I've finally found you.”Chen Shuheng wanted to hug Mo Shangqiu, but Mo Shangqiu avoided his embrace slightly.
"Father." A young girl's voice came from outside the door, breaking the awkward atmosphere between the two of them.
Outside the door stood a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing exquisite beauty makeup. However, because of the obvious anger on her face, her makeup was gone.
She was wearing a light yellow dress and had a curvy figure. She wore this dress very uniquely. Qianqian's slender hands hung under her sleeves. Looking up, she saw a delicate nose, thin lips, and red lips. The most outstanding thing was her watery eyes, which made her look naturally weak.
Chen Shuheng opened the door and looked at the young girl outside. His eyes were obviously dissatisfied and he said with a bad expression.
"Xi 'er, why are you here?" Chen Shuheng looked at his youngest daughter, who had already reached the age of marriage, and was thinking about what kind of family he would betroth her to.
"Father, I heard that Mother was beaten up by a cheap girl.”The one who spoke was Chen Shuheng's youngest daughter, Chen Fuxi. He also had a son called Chen Yujin, who was also an official in the imperial court.
When Chen Shu Heng heard his younger daughter's words, his expression became even uglier as he sternly said. "Don't be rude. She's your sister.”
Chen Fuxi's eyes were full of mockery. She smiled and said sarcastically. "I remember that mother only gave birth to big brother and me. When did she have an elder sister? I don't know where this bastard child came from!”
Chen Fuxi had been spoiled since she was a child. Naturally, she would not give her father any face. Moreover, her father had to listen to her mother in the past.
When he returned to the manor, he heard from his mother's maid that his mother had been beaten up by a wild girl of unknown origin. Not only did his father not punish her, but he even invited her to the study. She didn't believe me, so I came to see if it was as the maid said.
Unexpectedly, it was just as the maid had said. There was a figure leisurely drinking tea in his father's room. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Chen Fuxi lifted the hem of her skirt and jumped over Chen Shuheng into the study.
Mo Shangqiu had just placed the teacup on the coffee table when she heard footsteps. It was obvious that these were not Chen Shuheng's footsteps. Only his daughter, Chen Fuxi, could be so impetuous.
Mo Shangqiu sat there as if this matter had nothing to do with her, unwilling to even spare a glance at the two people outside.
Chen Fuxi walked quickly into the study, even jogging a little. She wanted to see who was so arrogant as to hit her mother.
Chen Fuxi came in front of Mo Shangqiu and saw her sitting there in a dignified manner without saying a word. She buried her head so low that she couldn't see her face. She was unhappy and her tone became harsh.
"Raise your head for me." Chen Fuxi's tone of ordering the maid around made Mo Shangqiu very unhappy.
Mo Shangqiu slowly raised her head, displaying the temperament of a young lady. She wanted to see what you could do to her!
Mo Shangqiu was shocked when they exchanged glances. Why was it her? Xiaoxi, why was she here?
When Chen Fuxi saw Mo Shangqiu's appearance, the hatred in her heart grew even stronger. She raised her hand and slapped Mo Shangqiu's face without any hesitation.
Chen Shuheng had just entered the room when he saw Chen Fuxi slap Mo Shangqiu. Before he could think about it, another thing hit his heart.
Mo Shangqiu's face was burning with pain after being slapped by her. No one had ever hit her since she was young. When had she ever been treated like this?
Then, he slapped her back without thinking. The force was so strong that Chen Fuxi fell to the ground.
"You wild girl, how dare you hit me? I'll beat you to death.”Chen Fuxi got up from the ground. Her clothes were a little dirty, her hair was a little messy, and the hairpin in her hair was swaying. His face was so hideous that it was terrifying, as if he wanted to eat Mo Shangqiu up.
Mo Shangqiu was on guard against her. From the looks of it, she would probably fight with her before she was willing to let it go.
When Chen Shuheng saw that Chen Fuxi looked like she wanted to hit Mo Shangqiu again, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed and exploded." Enough, Xi 'er, go back." Face the wall and reflect for a day."
" Father..." Chen Fuxi could not believe it. Even her father was siding with a wild girl. She felt extremely unbalanced.
Chen Shu Heng saw that she was unwilling to stop, his expression was ugly, and he had the urge to make a move.
" Get out..." Chen Shuheng's stern voice sounded again. He could not allow Chen Fuxi to continue being presumptuous.
Chen Fuxi flung her sleeves and walked out of the room angrily. She fell back and said angrily. "Just you wait. I won't let you off.”
Chen Shu Heng looked like he was in a terrible fix. He really spoiled her too much, which led to her being so unreasonable today.
