The agents all felt like they were dreaming, and finally asked if President Xu had intervened.
This setup clearly indicates the involvement of capital.
But Liang Shi shook his head: "It shouldn't be her."
This style of writing seems more like that of Liang Xinzhou.
But when she called Liang Xinzhou, the line was busy. She then called Yu Wan, who said that Liang Xinzhou hadn't come back for two days and had been running between the hospital and the company, so busy that he was dizzy.
Liang Shi knew it probably wasn't Liang Xinzhou, but he didn't care.
However, she later called Liang Xinhe, who was also confused and asked her how those scandals came to light.
Liang Shi got angry and retorted, "Isn't it all because of your dear sister!"
Liang Xinhe: "?"
Liang Shi had already hung up the phone.
Later, Liang Xinhe messaged her: "[Was it really Liang Xinran who did it?]"
Liang Shi: [Once I find the evidence, I'll definitely throw it in your face!]
Liang Xinhe: […I'll check for you.]
Liang Shi didn't reply to him again, and then he received a message from Zhao Xuning.
According to her location, the place was a very luxurious villa area. Liang Shi assumed it was a new property that Zhao Xuning had purchased and didn't think much of it.
She rang the doorbell and heard Xu Qingzhu calling her. When she turned around, she found Xu Qingzhu behind her.
Liang Shi asked her, "Why are you here?"
"Dr. Zhao sent me," Xu Qingzhu said.
In fact, Zhao Xuning had told Xu Qingzhu, but asked her to keep it a secret from Liang Shi.
However, we had already arrived at the door, rang the doorbell, and the maid had opened the door.
Xu Qingzhu didn't hide it from Liang Shi. She whispered, "They already know."
Liang Shi hadn't quite grasped the situation yet, but as soon as he entered the room and saw a room full of people standing in rows, he suddenly understood.
It's... amazing.
Shen Yaobo, Zhu Mingqi, Shen Fenghe, Shen Hui, and Shen Siyan stood in a row looking at her, while Gu Yixue and Zhao Xuning stood at the edge, looking slightly embarrassed.
Upon seeing this scene, Liang Shi was at a loss for words.
I had expected to feel a sense of trepidation about returning home, but I feel good right now.
Perhaps because I had spent more than a month building up my self-confidence, there wasn't much of a reaction.
Until Zhu Mingqi opened her mouth and called out to her, "Ashi".
"Aunt Zhu," Liang Shi greeted her as usual.
These words brought tears to Zhu Mingqi's eyes. Shen Yaobo, supporting her, also stared intently at Liang Shi.
Shen Siyan asked incredulously, "Are you really my third sister?"
Liang Shi: "...The DNA test report says yes."
Shen Siyan pinched her ear and said in a particularly awkward way, "Okay."
Then she called out first, "Third Sister."
Liang Shi: "?"
Shen Fenghe and Shen Hui stared at her intently, as if to say—aren't you going to call for help?
Liang Shi didn't shout. She took a half step back and stood beside Xu Qingzhu. "I'm not mentally prepared yet."
"When can you be mentally prepared?" Zhu Mingqi immediately replied, "I can wait."
Liang Shi: "..."
These words were so poignant that Liang Shi immediately felt embarrassed.
But most importantly, Liang Shi looked at them and asked, "How did you know?"
Then his gaze turned to Zhao Xuning, who shrugged: "Although I was the one who said it in the end, people would have said it even if I hadn't, so I said it. You understand?"
This long string of tongue twisters is hard to understand.
However, Liang Shi understood.
She sat on the sofa, speechless amidst the large group of people.
The only way he could relieve his embarrassment and nervousness was by constantly squeezing Xu Qingzhu's fingers.
Zhu Mingqi remained cautious and dared not move, but her eyes kept glancing at Liang Shi. Every five minutes, she would ask Liang Shi, "Are you mentally prepared?"
The expected scene of weeping and wailing did not materialize; the family remained relatively rational.
Everyone is waiting for Liang Shi to make a decision.
Even Shen Fenghe, a workaholic, didn't go to the company.
After an awkward and silent half hour, Liang Shi took the initiative to speak: "Why did you acknowledge me?"
Zhu Mingqi felt that her question was unreasonable and answered her confidently: "You are my daughter. It was one thing if I didn't know, but now that I know, why shouldn't I acknowledge you? You are the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to."
Liang Shi pursed her lips: "But I'm all grown up now. If I come back, it might disrupt your current balance, so... it's better to pretend we don't know, right?"
This was the issue that Liang Shi had always been concerned about.
But these words brought tears to Zhu Mingqi's eyes, and even Shen Hui secretly reddened her eyes.
Zhu Mingqi walked over, half-squatted in front of Liang Shi, raised her hand to touch her face, and said in a choked voice, "You are my daughter. What is there to balance or not? You should be a part of this family. I regret that you have grown up, but I missed more than 20 years of your growth. How can I miss your growth in the future?"
By the end, she was sobbing uncontrollably.
Zhu Mingqi burst into tears, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "What kind of parents would dislike their children? I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you, and I never thought about any balance or imbalance. How much suffering have you endured that makes you always think of others?"
Liang Shi was suddenly touched on the softest spot in his heart.
Even Xu Qingzhu felt a pang of sadness upon hearing her last sentence.
Pregnant women are naturally emotionally sensitive, and she immediately shed a tear.
Liang Shi's eyes also reddened.
When no one comforts me, I feel like I can weather any storm on my own.
But once someone feels sorry for you, or asks you how you've been all these years, you suddenly feel wronged.
Actually, I'm not doing well.
Fighting alone in an unfamiliar place.
While others were enjoying joyous family reunions under the bright lights of their homes, she watched television in her cold and lonely house.
There was no one around, and my heart felt empty.
Zhu Mingqi choked up and could barely speak: "Come home from now on, and we won't let you suffer any grievances. Wherever your parents are, that's your home."
Liang Shi's tears fell. He thought he could hold back his tears, but he still cried out loud.
There was no earth-shattering crying, just soft sobbing.
However, she revealed all the hardships and grievances she had suffered over the years.
I originally thought that recognizing relatives was a big deal that would turn my life upside down.
But just like when Xu Qingzhu recognized Su Yao, what seemed like a big change was actually just a big change in emotions.
He's constantly agonizing over his own problems and internally draining himself.
Later, when I finally accepted it, I realized it was just a small thing in life.
Life will continue as it always has to be.
Aside from... a few more ties.
And there are still follow-ups after Liang Shi's story became a trending topic.
Writer Wen Chuan posted a Weibo message: If Qiao Wenyu has a real-life counterpart, it's @Liang Shi. No one can understand the story of two little girls redeeming each other in their childhood better than her. Sister Jiao is Xu Jiao, the Jiao I'd rather not mention in my life, and the Jiao who warmed her childhood.
I also thank her for pulling me out of the mire.
As for her character, everyone knows for sure.
When Liang Shi finished his work and went online, he saw the Weibo post, but he was still confused.
Until Gu Xingyue sent her a WeChat message: [Have you finished reading the script? I'm planning to write the second part of "Blade".]
Liang Shi: [???]
It was only then that she learned that Gu Xingyue was actually Wen Chuan.
The name Wenchuan is taken from "Qi".
The extra vertical line at the bottom also signifies a refusal to give up on the world.
Shocked, Liang Shi also understood where his previous feelings came from.
Because those were things she had experienced before.
Qiao Wenyu in the book is her, and Xu Jiao is her.
And it was she who, after enduring so much hardship, was finally able to see the light of day again.
Fortunately, there's still Qi Jiao and Gu Xingyue.
They all saw the light of day in different places.
Liang Xinhe checked the trending topics and only found Zhang Yangning, but the name sounded familiar, so he went to discuss it with Liang Xinzhou.
Liang Xinzhou, who had been so busy that he barely had time to breathe, finally had a moment to check the trending topics and learn about what had happened.
He had already sent someone to handle all the previous photos and videos.
But it's clear that the person who leaked the information was well-prepared and even had a whole set of methods for generating public opinion.
Liang Xinzhou immediately recognized who had done it.
After Qiu Zimin fell asleep, Liang Xinzhou went directly to Liang Xinran.
