Chapter 371: Shen Biru

Fang Junfeng saw Ye Xuan and smiled, saying, “Please, have a seat.”

Ye Xuan adjusted his clothes and slowly sat down.

Fang Junfeng also noticed the bulge in Ye Xuan’s stomach, with something moving inside. He immediately understood what was happening.

Then, Fang Junfeng smiled and said, “Don’t worry, you don’t need to be afraid. I no longer have that ability. I didn’t come here to seek revenge on you this time. I just want to chat with you about other matters.”

Ye Xuan looked at Fang Junfeng and retorted, “Afraid? What do I have to fear? It’s just that my two cats have been cooped up at home for a long time. I’m taking them out to see the world.”

As Ye Xuan spoke, he took Little Black and Little Red out from under his clothes and placed them on his lap.

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Fang Junfeng unexpectedly felt a sense of pride in his heart. This was Ye Xuan, how impressive? He could easily destroy the World-Destroying Dragon Whale with a wave of his hand.

But meeting him made Fang Junfeng somewhat nervous. Although his abilities were only used to disgust people, it still made him quite proud.

“Ye Xuan, I came here this time on someone else’s behalf.”

Ye Xuan looked at Fang Junfeng and asked, “On someone else’s behalf? Who?”

Fang Junfeng slowly said, “The actress Shen Biru.”

Ye Xuan was taken aback, “Shen Biru? What does she want from me? I don’t think I have any connection with this actress.”

Shen Biru was considered a goddess by Ye Xuan’s father’s generation, with numerous film and music works. Over a decade ago, she was incredibly popular nationwide.

After winning three Best Actress awards and reaching the peak of her career, Shen Biru chose to retire from the entertainment industry and marry a wealthy man, living the life of a wealthy wife.

In recent years, she seemed to have grown tired of being a wealthy wife and became active again. However, her popularity had waned, and she could only attend some variety shows as a mentor or judge.

Although Shen Biru was in her forties, her beauty remained high, appearing as if she were in her thirties, attracting a new group of young fans.

Nowadays, when people mention the eternal goddess of the past on various social media platforms, most would refer to Shen Biru.

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Fang Junfeng said, “You indeed have no connection with this actress, but your wife does.”

Ye Xuan was surprised, “Mengli? What connection does she have with her?”

Fang Junfeng explained, “Su Mengli is actually Shen Biru’s biological daughter.”

Ye Xuan was stunned. Mengli’s birth mother? Why was this coming up now?

He looked at Fang Junfeng and asked, “Did Shen Biru tell you these things? How did she find out?”

Fang Junfeng took out two photos from his body, one of Su Mengli and the other of Shen Biru when she was young.

Due to the different styles of the 80s and 90s compared to now, no one would usually notice the striking resemblance between Shen Biru and Su Mengli.

However, with Shen Biru’s appearance now, twenty years later, showing signs of aging, and Su Mengli being an advanced Awakener, possessing a unique aura, no one would make the connection.

But upon careful comparison of the two photos, it was indeed evident that Su Mengli and Shen Biru bore a strong resemblance.

After looking for a while, Ye Xuan asked, “So, what is Shen Biru’s purpose in asking you to find me?”

Fang Junfeng got straight to the point, “She wants to acknowledge her biological daughter.”

Ye Xuan’s expression changed. He slammed the table and said, “She’s dreaming! Mengli has been abandoned by her for so long. She thinks she can just claim her back now? Who does she think she is?”

Fang Junfeng immediately said, “Ye Xuan, don’t be impulsive. Hear me out.”

Suppressing his anger, Ye Xuan said, “Fine, go ahead, I’m listening!”

Fang Junfeng explained, “Shen Biru and I had a conversation. Initially, she didn’t want to abandon her biological daughter; she was forced to do so.

At that time, Shen Biru was in a relationship with a musical genius and, in a moment of impulse, committed a mistake and became pregnant.

Initially, they had a good plan. They were deeply in love and planned to hide abroad, have the child, and publicly announce their relationship.

Unfortunately, Shen Biru encountered a scoundrel. When the child was about to be born, her company found out the truth. They paid off the scoundrel, who had originally been in this together with Shen Biru’s musical genius, but he betrayed them.

He drugged Shen Biru’s drink, sent her back to the country while she was asleep, and the company took control of her.

Originally, the management company wanted to abort the child, but it was too late for the procedure. Eventually, the child was born.

As soon as the child was born, the company forcibly took the child away for adoption, leading to Shen Biru being separated from her daughter.

Shen Biru was heartbroken for a long time. Now, she hopes her daughter can return to her side.”

Listening to Fang Junfeng’s words, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but show a disdainful smile. It had been so long, and everything was unverifiable. Fang Junfeng’s story seemed logical, but in reality, it was nonsense.

Before marrying a wealthy man, Shen Biru had always been successful in the entertainment industry, never experiencing a low point. If she truly felt sorry for her daughter, why didn’t it affect her career?

Moreover, Shen Biru rose to fame quickly. She wasn’t just any minor celebrity; she was an award-winning actress.

Would a prestigious actress like her be easily manipulated by a management company or agent?

If she truly cared about her daughter, when her daughter was taken away, she could have held a press conference, exposed the truth, demanded the entertainment company help find her daughter, and held them legally accountable.

With Shen Biru’s fame at the time, her daughter could have been easily found, and the entire company would have faced severe consequences!

Therefore, Ye Xuan analyzed that while Shen Biru did encounter a scoundrel and indeed intended to have a child with him, the man eventually regretted it and refused to accept the child. However, Shen Biru had already given birth to the child.

Thus, she had no choice but to hand the child over to the company for adoption while she continued her career.

And unless something unexpected happened, she had no intention of acknowledging this child for the rest of her life.

After all, this child brought her more harm than good, not to mention that she later married into a wealthy family, creating a new life and family for herself.

If the truth about this child were exposed, it would be a severe blow to her status as a wealthy wife. Therefore, she had never acknowledged or sought out Su Mengli.

But now things were different. What was Su Mengli’s current status? An SSS-class Awakener, one of the top young powerhouses in Great Xia, the future pillar of the nation.

Compared to her former identities as an aging actress or a wealthy wife, being his mother of the Red Lotus Empress was far more significant.

If acknowledging Su Mengli could bring her more benefits than harm, she found a younger colleague in the entertainment industry, Fang Junfeng, to test the waters first.

Ye Xuan looked at Fang Junfeng and asked, “You seem more mature now. Do you think Shen Biru’s words hold any truth?”

Fang Junfeng’s expression changed slightly, “Regardless, she is Su Mengli’s biological mother. Even if she made mistakes when she was young, isn’t it good that she wants to make amends now?”

Ye Xuan waved his hand, “That’s unnecessary. Mengli is living happily now. She doesn’t need any amends. She doesn’t want Shen Biru to disturb her life now; that’s the best amends!”

Sighing, Fang Junfeng said, “You really won’t meet with Ms. Shen? I can see she genuinely misses her daughter and is sincere.”

Ye Xuan firmly replied, “I won’t meet her, and she shouldn’t appear in Mengli’s life. Otherwise, she’ll face the consequences.”
