Chapter 105 Her name is Shen Xi
Shen Ke roughly understood. He unconditionally trusted his father because his father had a keen eye for talent. However, his father had always been unassuming and easygoing in his dealings with others, which led Shen Ke to believe that his father was about to retire.
Since he brought up the topic of "sister" in this way... Shen Lu, something must have happened that he doesn't know about.
Shen Ke has one advantage: she is easygoing and obedient.
He was also a loyal fan of his father's business. After all, his father had started his own business from scratch and built the Shen family empire with sheer grit and determination, eventually marrying his beloved mother, the eldest daughter of the Chu family.
—Ding ding ding
A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and leather shoes made a slurring sound as they rubbed against the floor.
The bodyguard, with several sheets of paper tucked in his arms, darted to Chu Li and handed them over respectfully, saying,
"Madam, the results are in."
Chu Li immediately released Shen Ke's hand, staring intently at the few thin sheets of paper.
The bodyguard in black kept his hand outstretched, but no one took it for a long time. He raised his eyes slightly in confusion.
"Hard."
Just as Shen Ke was about to reach out curiously, Shen Qi took the document from her. He didn't open it right away, but instead placed it in Chu Li's hand.
But his slightly trembling fingertips betrayed his composure.
Chu Li took a deep breath and frantically opened the DNA test report. She flipped through it to the last page, and the long string of numbers caught her eye. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears. She hugged the papers, half-laughing and half-crying, then smiled and raised the corners of her lips.
"I knew it, I recognized her immediately, my child..."
Shen Qi could tell from his wife's expression that Shen Xi was indeed their youngest daughter, and even his usually stern face showed a hint of a smile.
Shen Ke jumped up and down trying to see the paper, craning his neck and stretching his head, but still couldn't see it at all.
Chu Li's mood instantly improved at that moment, and she patted Shen Ke's arm.
"Shen Ke, your sister has really been found."
"Really?!" Shen Ke immediately jumped up, her face flushed with excitement, her neck and face turning bright red, and even her ears turned red.
"Why would I lie to you? You should love her more from now on. She... is coming back."
Shen Ke nodded repeatedly and asked in a particularly obedient manner,
"What's her name now?!"
When Chu Li spoke of her daughter, her smile deepened and her tone softened, "Her name is very beautiful, Shen Xi."
"What a nice name...wait...what's her name?!"
Shen Ke's tone instantly rose several octaves, and her eyes widened.
He picked at his ear, then asked again, unwilling to give up, "Mom, what did you say her name was?!"
Chu Li didn't understand why he was so excited, but she was so happy today that she continued to say happily,
"Her name is Shen Xi, Shen from the Shen family, and Xi from the stream."
Shen Ke's face instantly cracked. He squatted down in disbelief, holding his head in his hands, his limited mind recalling scenes from the past.
Could it really be that makeup artist he poached with a high salary who can draw?
Shen Ke is devastated. If his parents knew what happened a while ago...
He has been enslaving his dear sister.
What's even more important?!
He'd seen him so many times, and he still didn't recognize him at all!
Wouldn't he be torn to pieces?!
Shen Qi knew what Chu Li was talking about the moment he saw his son sticking his butt out. Seeing that Chu Li had finished reading and was about to put the report away, he stretched out his long arm and took the report.
He had already investigated Shen Xi's past, so he naturally knew about Shen Ke's high-salary offer to Xiao Xi.
Aside from being sensitive to money, Shen Ke is often quite insensitive to certain things and is also stubborn.
Chu Li glanced at the time, her expression and actions revealing her excitement. She grabbed Shen Qi's arm...
"Is the banquet being overseen? Are those people reliable? If I had known earlier, I would have gone myself."
She even talked to herself,
"We can't let the banquet go wrong; we must make a good impression on Xiaoxi."
"Don't worry, I've had people keeping an eye on things. We can start tonight when we get back," Shen Qi said, reassuring his wife, who seemed to enjoy her vibrant energy.
Chu Li started getting busy, making phone calls to inquire about the situation while also confirming with the person in charge whether the banquet had indeed been held for the Jiang family.
Shen Qi just looked at her like that, his expression was indifferent, but his eyes still revealed an unstoppable smile.
Shen Ke got goosebumps watching from the side. Taking advantage of his parents not paying attention to him, he quietly took his phone and sneaked to the empty rooftop.
He squatted by the railing, looking at the account with Shen Xi's name in his phone, and felt a little emotional. The connection between people is really deep!
He had mentally prepared himself, but the cool wind on the rooftop made him shiver. Shen Ke gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and pressed...
The call was made.
His breathing gradually became rapid, his heartbeat quickened, and the sound of the wind around him seemed to blur his hearing; he could only hear the sound of his own trembling heart beating.
—Knock knock knock
—dududu
The sound of a cell phone dialing mingled with the sound of a heartbeat in my ear.
Suddenly, a clear and melodious female voice rang out.
"Boss, are we resuming operations soon?"
There seemed to be rustling sounds of metal clanging and pens clattering coming from the other side.
Shen Ke had an inopportune thought.
Am I really that stingy? That's why she reacted like that the first thing she heard when I made the phone call.
He clutched a blade of grass clinging to the crack in the ground, his voice clearly tense, "You...you...you..."
He couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"What's wrong with me?" Shen Xi asked, her tone somewhat strange.
Shen Ke grabbed a handful of her hair in a panic, "Um...where can I buy the Pu'er tea cake you sent me last time?"
After he finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to talk about such a mess!
Shen Xi was a little confused, thinking that the boss liked the tea cakes from Yunxiaxiang. "Those are considered specialties of Yunxiaxiang. They are basically sold everywhere. Now there are also online purchasing agents. You can also find someone to help you make a trip."
"Oh, I see... I have something else I want to ask you." Shen Ke said nervously, snapping off another blade of grass.
"You say it."
"The Shen family is having a banquet tonight, will you come?"
Shen Xi raised an eyebrow. "I will go. Do you have any instructions?"
Shen Ke blurted out instinctively, "No, no... uh, no, I mean it's good that you came, I have a gift for you."
Now Shen Xi was even more confused.
"Boss, is this a New Year's bonus?"
Shen Ke said righteously, "Yes, every employee has one, and you will definitely have one too."
