“Madam Fu.” Shen Xi nodded politely with a smile. “Thank you.”

Mama Fu was hurt by the distant form of address. Still, she let out a gentle smile. “Watch where you’re going. Eyes ahead, not on your phone.”

She noticed the child was fixated on her phone. Kids nowadays were the same – they could not do without their phones. It was dangerous!

“Sure.” Shen Xi felt ashamed. It never occurred to her that her foot would suddenly hurt like hell. It was not because she was engrossed on her phone, yet she had no way of explaining it.

Yun Jinping had already drawn close, together with Song Wenye. Ruan Sisi knew better for once and merely glanced over without heading there. She was enjoying a nice chat with Shen Zhangqing and Granny Yu.

Song Wenye first asked Shen Xi before turning to the woman in the opposite. She widened her eyes a moment later. “Ms. Li?”

Was this not Li Jingran? Song Wenye was able to recognize her despite the mask. There was no mistaking those eyes and face shape!

However, what did Xixi call her? Madam Fu?

Within earshot, Yun Jinping looked narrowly at the woman but quickly came to the conclusion that she was not Li Jingran.

There was an air of nobility surrounding the woman but did not take away her tenderness and grace. By impression alone, she was different from Li Jingran, but in terms of looks, they were very much alike.

Mama Fu looked back at the person who was beautiful and affable. If her guess was right, this must be Xixi’s adoptive mother, Yun Jinping. Mama Fu explained with a smile. “I’m not Li Jingran. My name is Shangguan Yanqiu. Nice to meet you.”

Since her arrival in China, Mama Fu had gotten a grasp of Li Jingran’s popularity.

She had kept a low profile, putting on a mask and sunglasses to hide her appearance whenever she went out. Still, she was mistaken by the fans to be Li Jingran.

Yun Jinping knew she was not Li Jingran as her daughter addressed her as Madam Fu. She guessed that the woman was most likely Xuan’s mother. “Hello, I’m Yun Jinping.”

“I am Song Wenye.” Song Wenye raised her hand and meekly jumped as names were exchanged.

Shen Xi was amused by Song Wenye’s expression. “Mom, let’s all have a chat upstairs. We don’t want to get in people’s way on the stairs.”

Yun Jinping and Shangguan Yanqiu embarrassedly exchanged glances and smiled. It seemed to have slipped their minds that they were hogging the staircase.

“Should we head upstairs then?”

The pair spoke in unison. After a moment of daze, they looked at each other and smiled once more.

With the two women walking upstairs side to side, Song Wenye got the opportunity to pull Shen Xi back. Afraid to be overheard and deemed impolite, she kept her voice low. “Who is she? Why does she have an uncanny resemblance to Li Jingran?”

Shen Xi whispered back, “Fu Qingxuan’s mother and Li Jingran’s twin.”

“What the f*ck!” Song Wenye blurted aloud in shock and disbelief.

What the hell?

Fu Qingxuan’s mother was Li Jingran’s twin? This was huge! For real?

Shen Xi put her hand over Song Wenye’s mouth. It was hard to tell Song Wenye anything when she got all freaked out like that. “Settle down.”

Song Wenye could not get over it. How was she supposed to calm down? Ever since she learned about Shen Xi’s family history, the Su family, especially Li Jingran, made Song Wenye sick to her stomach.

Yet now, a look-alike appeared before her and she was Fu Qingxuan’s mother. What a world.

“Li Jingran doesn’t know she exists.” That was all Shen Xi could say. She was not in the position to reveal the secret of others even to her own best friend.

Song Wenye might live in a world of her own, but she was reliable when it counted. At this point, Song Wenye got the hint that Shen Xi intended to drop the subject. She answered, “Don’t worry, my lips are sealed. I won’t tell anyone.”

She could not get a hold of herself because the shocking news hit her in the face. Song Wenye was not going to buck.

In that case, Fu Qingxuan must be fond of Xixi because he had known of their relationship. It would make Fu Qingxuan Xixi’s cousin.

“Not even Alpha Xu,” Shen Xi added.

Song Wenye gave an affirmative nod. A complete opposite to Li Jingran’s bearing and akin to Mrs. Shen’s gentleness and amiability, Madam Fu seemed rather well-bred. Song Wenye whispered into Shen Xi’s ear and lamented, “If only you were her daughter.”

Hmph! Li Jingran and the idiotic Su family did not deserve their Xixi. The Fu family was much better. Fu Qingxuan was nice, not to mention Qingye, her forever idol.

Shen Xi’s heart skipped a beat as Fu Qingli’s stone-cold handsome face flashed before her eyes. Shaking her head, she coldly uttered in self-mockery, “I’m not worthy.”

Song Wenye pursed her lips from speaking before sneaking a peek at Shen Xi. Why did she get the feeling that Xixi was mad?

She put her foot in her mouth again.

The whole world knew that the Fu family was looking for their sister. Qingye entered showbiz in an attempt to find his sister.

Why was Xixi the Su family’s daughter? Why could she not be the Fu family’s daughter?

It was quiet in the first-floor lobby.

Shangguan Yanqiu greeted everybody there before getting up to leave. “I should leave you guys to it.”

To her surprise, she hit it off with Xixi’s mother and got along well. With Xixi’s mom being a gentle soul, it was no wonder Xixi was raised to be so brilliant.

“Are you alone?” Yun Jinping asked.

“No, Xuan’s with me.” Shangguan Yanqiu smiled and ensued another question. “Which room are you in? I’ll bring Xuan in for a quick visit.”

Following the car accident, Xuan began to take it easy instead of throwing himself into work. Shangguan Yanqiu could not even make him leave the house in the past. This time for a change, the boy offered to bring her out to get some fresh air.

The offer to get some fresh air took them to China. They had not been to many places since they only arrived two days ago. The funny thing about fate was, it brought her and Xixi’s family together.

“We’re in 208.” Yun Jinping then sought confirmation with Ruan Sisi that it was indeed 208.

The lot courteously bade farewell before seeing Shangguan Yanqiu off to the other end of the corridor. The direction was the exact opposite of their room.

Looking at her receding figure, Yun Jinping pinched Shen Zhangqing and muttered, “Don’t talk about that when they come later.”

She had not told Madam Fu that she found her son in case it might bring up ill feelings since the Fu family’s youngest member was yet to be found.. She did not want to be rubbing it in by saying she found her son and was here for a reunion.
