She gave the hair of the last two people to the doctor at the testing agency and had it numbered. All she had to do next was wait.
"Miss Shen, come and get the results in seven days."
Shen Youjin responded. After all, there were quite a few people she needed to test, so this waiting time was acceptable.
On the way to the studio by car, she turned on the car stereo and played a melody she hadn't heard for a long time, enjoying the ease after the rain.
Just then, a familiar number sent her a message.
"Miss Shen, although there has been no progress in your mother's case, during our recent investigation, we've discovered some new things through clues. You might be interested. We'll send them to your email after we confirm them later."
Shen Youjin's expression instantly turned solemn. Private detectives rarely reported things unrelated to the case. For them to send such a message today, she suddenly felt quite curious.
Meanwhile, in the luxurious Fu family villa, there were those who were happy and those who were sad.
Bai Wenjing was fuming when she saw the hot search about her tall and handsome son holding an umbrella for a bastard girl.
How dare that bitch Shen Youjin treat her son like this? It was simply too much!
And those comments below. Were these netizens paid trolls?
How could her son be with a bastard girl? Shen Youjin was simply unworthy!
"Fu Changshan, are you going to do something about your son?" Bai Wenjing's fingertips trembled as she desperately grabbed the middle - aged man who was about to leave. "If this continues, your son's marriage will be ruined!"
Fu Changshan's gaze fell on the hand that was grabbing his arm. His eyebrows involuntarily knitted together, and his tone was gradually filled with disgust. "Qingye can date whoever he likes. We're old. It's better for us not to interfere in the young people's love. If you're really bored, you can play mahjong!"
Before his words faded, he had already pulled out his arm and walked away without looking back. His back was filled with indifference.
Bai Wenjing stood there, her lips trembling, and her nails almost digging into her palm.
She had worked hard for so many years. Why did everyone treat her like this?
In the past, when Fu Qingye had no one he liked, she didn't feel much. But now, this kind of situation was more painful than killing her.
Just then, a sudden and urgent ringing of the phone echoed in the villa. She held back the tears that were about to roll down her eyes, quickly regained the demeanor of the mistress of the Fu family, picked up the phone, and answered it.
"Ruyi, do you want to come to our house and play? Auntie will ask someone to cook your favorite dishes."
Gu Ruyi was silent for two seconds. For the first time, she didn't answer cheerfully as she used to.
"Auntie, let's cancel my engagement with Qingye. I saw the hot search. He has someone he likes..."
Bai Wenjing, who was already filled with grief and indignation, immediately panicked when she heard that the daughter - in - law she had in mind was about to back out.
"Ruyi, it's all a misunderstanding. Qingye has never been in a relationship in his life. He's just temporarily infatuated. He'll come to his senses after a while and definitely won't take a fancy to a gold - digger like Shen Youjin who has nothing. Besides, with auntie here, there's no way she'll be allowed into the family."
Hearing this, Gu Ruyi showed a smile, but her tone on the phone still sounded hesitant. "But Qingye might be unhappy! Alas... Auntie, forget it! I think Miss Shen is quite nice. Apart from having a lot of men around her, there's nothing wrong with her. Maybe she'll change after getting married! And her studio is doing very well. She's very outstanding!"
"How could a woman like her change?" Bai Wenjing immediately retorted angrily. "Everything she has now is obtained through men. Such a slut is not worthy of Qingye!"
Gu Ruyi remembered Shen Youjin's stunningly beautiful face on the opening day and couldn't help feeling secretly proud.
Humph! So what if there were so many people protecting her? Without a good family background, everything was in vain!
"Alright..." She pretended to be in a difficult situation. "But last time, Qingye had a conflict with me because of Miss Shen. If it's convenient for you, auntie, please help me explain. I didn't do it on purpose."
"What misunderstanding? I think it was that bitch who instigated it." Bai Wenjing sneered. "Ruyi, don't worry. With me here, the position of the young mistress of the Fu family will definitely be yours."
Gu Ruyi, who was originally unhappy after seeing the hot search, was now overjoyed. She chatted with Bai Wenjing for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone contentedly.
Shen Youjin, just you wait! How could a new love possibly defeat an old acquaintance?
That afternoon, Shen Youjin was dozing off in the studio when suddenly a message popped up on her WeChat. It was from a paparazzi.
"The Shen siblings are on their way to your studio. I don't know what they're up to."
Shen Youjin felt as if she had been splashed with a bucket of cold water and instantly woke up a lot.
She replied to the paparazzi, asking him to be on standby at any time, and then felt relieved.
After about ten - odd minutes, Shen Tianzhen and Shen Qilin, the siblings, really showed up.
"What are you guys doing here?" Ling Qiuqiu stood up even faster than Shen Youjin and blocked in front of them. "Looking for trouble?"
Shen Qilin looked at her. Her short ear - length hair was neat and refreshing, playfully accentuating her delicate face. Her bright eyes sparkled like stars, full of endless vitality and sunshine.
When she smiled, the curve of her lips was as sweet as spring, full of life and beauty.
Such a woman made his heart flutter every time he saw her.
Even if she hit him, he was quite happy about it.
"Don't talk so nastily." Shen Qilin lifted his lips into a smile. "You're doing business here. We're just here to support you. After all, we're all family!"
He emphasized the word "family" meaningfully. Shen Youjin frowned. Who was family with him? Disgusting thing!
"If you want to take photos, I can arrange someone to show you the styles you like. But if you have other intentions..." She came to Ling Qiuqiu's side and looked at the siblings. "You might not be able to leave this studio."
It was supposed to be a 2V2 situation, but as soon as Shen Youjin stepped forward, the aura around her was like a tide that instantly enveloped the other side, making it obvious that her presence overpowered them.
Shen Tianzhen's face was so gloomy that it seemed to drip water. Even though she tried to hold back, thinking about her purpose for coming here, she still couldn't help but blurt out, "Shen Youjin, what are you so arrogant about?"
Shen Youjin gave her a cold look. "This is my territory at Zhuguang. What do you think I'm arrogant about?"
If they had the guts, they could smash the place. But then the reputation of the Shen family would end today.
"Sister, don't be so irritable." Shen Qilin didn't seem to know who he was talking to. "We're just here to take photos. Don't worry. We won't do anything."
As he said this, his eyes lingered on Ling Qiuqiu, moving over her body in a sticky and disgusting way.
