Chapter 97 I Found My Daughter
Although Shen Xi's understanding of the information was mostly correct, she was wrong about one thing: Ms. Chu Li moved to the nursing home simply because she wanted to live elsewhere.
Chu Li is very open-minded about some things and doesn't dwell on them too much. However, when she thinks about her lost daughter, she can't help but feel resentful and unwilling.
But at this moment, she was incredibly grateful that she had moved out, otherwise how would she have met her daughter again?
"Did you bring your phone? Can I add you on WeChat?"
Shen Xi also had a very good impression of Chu Li. She had lived in an orphanage since she was a child. Most of the children in the orphanage had been abandoned by their parents. Some of the slightly older children even remembered what their parents looked like, but they refused to go back.
Because that place is no longer their home.
Chu Li quickly pulled her phone out of her pocket. Her phone case was pure black and had some sparkly rhinestones, which seemed quite different from her gentle and refined demeanor.
Shen Xi added her as a friend face-to-face. She put away her phone and saw the woman looking at her with lingering affection. Feeling a little embarrassed, she brushed her hair aside and avoided the woman's intense gaze.
I really don't know what to say.
Chu Li was a little flustered. After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "May I treat you to lunch?"
Shen Xi subconsciously looked down at the empty bowl her son had just finished eating from, and she was somewhat taken aback.
"It's still a bit early, it's not lunchtime yet."
Chu Li blushed with embarrassment. Remembering something, she hesitated for a moment, then stammered out her answer.
"There's a party at my house tonight, are you... interested in attending?"
She was suddenly relieved that Shen Qi's banquet tonight hadn't been canceled, giving her a good reason to connect with the child.
Shen Xi was a little embarrassed. She shook her head and said, "I already have plans for tonight, so I probably can't go."
Since Chu Li had repeatedly invited her, Shen Xi gave a clear answer: she would definitely attend the next banquet if she had the time.
Chu Li felt that she was already very satisfied with the result.
She lightly tapped the camera she carried with her, which flashed a cold white light under the sunlight.
"Can I take a final photo with you?"
When Chu Li saw that Shen Xi was really leaving, she didn't have enough reasons to persuade her to stay, so she could only think of leaving a photo behind.
Shen Xi was also very straightforward. She felt that this mother who had lost her child must be carrying a deep longing in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have felt an instant connection with someone who resembled her child and be so reluctant to part with them.
Shen Xi could tell that she had a different kind of temperament, and must have been born into a prominent family.
Chu Li handed the camera to Su Su to take the picture. She stood close to Shen Xi, but politely left a small gap between them.
"Come on, three, two, one, look at the camera."
Shen Xi grinned, made a standard peace sign, and took the photo.
The moment she saw the photo, she became withdrawn and isolated.
How could she have such a conditioned reflex? Whenever she's being photographed, it's like she's under a spell; she can't take a picture without making a peace sign.
That damn corny scissor hand gesture.
But surprisingly, it's still quite good-looking.
Chu Li adjusted the camera, looking at the photo of the two people cuddling together, a faint smile on her face, unnoticed by anyone.
Shen Xi has stayed here for too long; it's time for her to leave.
She tactfully suggested, "We have other things to do, so we should go now. Let's make another appointment next time."
Shen Xi didn't mind that she would come looking for her.
Chu Li was a little sad, but she had no right to stop her. She could only watch helplessly as Shen Xi walked away, leaving her alone in the bustling alley, until only a few people remained.
Suddenly, a bodyguard in plain clothes appeared beside him.
He asked respectfully, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
This person was left behind by Shen Qi to protect Chu Li. Chu Li was in poor health, but there was no cure. Previously, her body had become severely disintegrated, and she even fell straight to the ground, losing consciousness.
By the time the staff realized something was wrong, Chu Li had already been lying silently on the cold ground for a very long time.
Since then, Shen Qi has been worried about leaving her alone, so he insisted on assigning a bodyguard to ensure Chu Li's safety.
Chu Li had always known that this person was there.
She gently took out a silk handkerchief from her bag and carefully wrapped the flaxen hair she had been clutching in her hand inside.
She folded and folded the handkerchief until it was a small square. Chu Li handed the handkerchief to the bodyguard, her usually gentle eyes now showing a cold stern expression.
She instructed, "There are two hairs in here. Go to the hospital controlled by the Shen family and hand them to the examiners in person. Don't let anyone get close to them during the process. Wait for the test results to come out yourself."
The bodyguard glanced at the handkerchief in his palm, then looked at the lady with excited eyes. As if realizing something, he carefully put the handkerchief away.
He hesitated for a moment, "Madam, I still need to protect your safety at all times."
Chu Li had already thought it through; she raised her hand to stop him from saying what he was about to say.
"You don't need to protect my safety. The most important task for you is to find that handkerchief next. I won't make things difficult for you. I will be moving back to the Shen residence this afternoon, and then I won't need your protection anymore."
Chu Li lost the kindness and tenderness she showed in front of Shen Xi. She carefully instructed the bodyguards about the details of the matter, her heart filled with anxiety and eagerness to get the results immediately.

Shen's Group
Having just finished a meeting, Shen Qi adjusted his glasses and rubbed his temples wearily.
He instinctively wanted to check his phone to see if anyone had sent him a message or made a call.
However, it did not.
He clicked into the chat box with some disappointment and, as usual, sent his wife a text message at different times to tell her what he had done that day.
The message has just been sent.
The other party replied almost instantly.
With a simple sentence from Chu Li, I moved back to the Shen residence.
Shen Qi read it again in disbelief, repeatedly pondering the sentence, afraid of missing any other meaning within it.
Just then, the assistant came in, having already prepared the documents for Mr. Shen's review and signature.
Shen Qi waved his hand and said, "Come over here and see if there's any other meaning behind this sentence."
The assistant's expression turned serious. A case that could make the boss hesitate must be an extremely difficult one.
But all he saw was a simple sentence from his wife, and the entire chat page was filled with messages from his boss.
He began to doubt himself. Could he have misread it?
But the next second, Chu Li on the other side of the screen threw out a heavy bomb.
The impact made Shen Qi see stars; his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the screen with a solemn expression.
—I think I've found my daughter.
