Chapter 373: Core of the Heart

After a moment, the video call connected, and Su Mengli’s voice came through: “Who are you looking for?”

Shen Biru’s face lit up with a kind smile, “I’m looking for Ms. Su Mengli, is she available?”

Su Mengli paused, “What do you want with me? Do we know each other?”

Shen Biru explained, “It’s something very important. Can I come in and talk to you, child?”

“Sure, come in.”

Su Mengli’s strength, though not as great as Ye Xuan’s, was still among the top of the younger generation. In the capital, there were few who could harm her, so she wasn’t too worried.

The gate opened, and Shen Biru entered the villa with her two children.

As they walked, she said, “If your sister gets angry later and wants to drive Mom away, you two go up, hug her legs, and cry to her. Do you understand? If you still want to live a luxurious life like when you were young, you can only rely on your sister.”

Shen Biru’s children were mixed-race, but their father’s genes weren’t great. Despite being mixed-race, they couldn’t compare to Su Mengli in looks and didn’t possess awakened talents; they were just ordinary people.

The older one was twelve, and the younger one was nine, starting to understand some things, both indicating they understood Shen Biru’s meaning.

Of course, Shen Biru didn’t bring her foreign husband along. After all, Su Mengli was a true-blooded China person, not a mixed-race.

She came to establish a relationship with Su Mengli and saw no benefit in bringing her foreign husband along.

As for Su Mengli’s biological father, they had long been like enemies, never interacting. Shen Biru only wanted to claim this daughter for herself and didn’t want the other party to take advantage as well.

The three entered the villa, and Su Mengli calmly sat on the sofa, with a few ghost servants standing beside her.

Then, Su Mengli asked slowly, “What do you want from me?”

Shen Biru looked at Su Mengli for a while, her eyes red, “Daughter, Mom has been looking for you so hard!”

Su Mengli was taken aback, “What do you mean? I don’t quite understand.”

Shen Biru directly juxtaposed her own photo from her youth with Su Mengli’s photo, then wiped away tears, “Mom is sorry for what happened. Back then, you were forcibly taken away by people from the agency and given to someone else to raise. Mom searched for you for many years but couldn’t find you. Mom couldn’t fulfill her duty as a mother. Mom is sorry.”

Su Mengli’s expression changed, feeling a bit unsettled by Shen Biru’s words.

She already knew that Su Guodong and Zhang Xiulan were not her biological parents, but she had never expected her biological parents to come looking for her. For a moment, she didn’t know how to handle it.

Seeing Su Mengli’s reaction, Shen Biru was very pleased.

She was about to take advantage of the situation when Su Mengli took out her phone and dialed a number, “Darling, come back, quickly, I need you by my side.”

Watching this scene, Shen Biru remained calm. So what if she made a call? With the traffic in the capital, it would take at least an hour for Ye Xuan to return.

An hour was enough time for her to use her superb acting skills and eloquence to start mending her relationship with her daughter.

When Ye Xuan arrived, what use would it be? As a husband, could he oppose his wife recognizing her birth mother?

However, Shen Biru’s composure didn’t last long.

Because at the moment Su Mengli hung up the phone, a man suddenly appeared beside her, unsurprisingly, it was Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan had just received a call from his wife saying she needed him.

He was having coffee with Fang Junfeng, but upon hearing this, he directly used the Dragon Phoenix Jade Pendant to teleport over.

After all, Fang Junfeng was far less important than Mengli. Ye Xuan teleported away without even explaining.

At this moment, Fang Junfeng must be very confused. He was just having coffee with Ye Xuan, and the next moment, a person as big as him disappeared like that.

He must be very puzzled, maybe even thinking that Ye Xuan ran away so quickly to avoid paying the bill…

The moment Ye Xuan appeared, Su Mengli, who was in chaos, seemed to have found her backbone, her expression immediately calming down.

She leaned on Ye Xuan’s body and whispered, “This woman came to see me, claiming to be my mother. I don’t know how to deal with it.”

After hearing Su Mengli’s words, Ye Xuan’s expression changed. He glanced at Shen Biru, then at his wife.

Then, he hugged Su Mengli back to the sofa and calmly looked at Shen Biru.

Shen Biru, who was no longer composed, couldn’t believe that Ye Xuan and Su Mengli, this couple, had such a plan.

The various strategies she had planned seemed to be ineffective now, and the difficulty class had risen significantly.

However, despite finding it challenging, Shen Biru wouldn’t give up. After all, this was related to her prestige and wealth!

Ye Xuan held Su Mengli and didn’t rush to speak. Instead, he just observed Shen Biru, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Finally, she couldn’t help but speak, “You must be Ye Xuan, right? My daughter has someone like you as her partner…”

Ye Xuan interrupted, “Stop! My wife’s parents have passed away. Don’t come out now to claim a connection!”

Shen Biru quickly explained, “Child, Auntie had many difficulties back then. As a woman in the entertainment industry, she was constrained everywhere and even deceived by scumbags emotionally. The people from the agency took advantage of Auntie’s weak state after giving birth to snatch Mengli away and give her to someone else. Auntie had no choice.”

Ignoring Shen Biru’s words, Ye Xuan turned to Su Mengli, “Mengli, if you had a daughter who was taken away, what would you do?”

Su Mengli replied directly, “I would call the police and try to find the child.”

Ye Xuan clapped and lightly pinched Su Mengli’s face, “Very clever! Even an ordinary person knows to call the police if their child is taken. The police will surely make efforts to find the child. A former queen who was famous nationwide over a decade ago doesn’t know this? If the queen reported that her daughter was abducted, it would surely cause a stir, right? Such a heinous act happening to a queen would surely be taken seriously by the relevant authorities. With a large police force, it probably wouldn’t take more than three days to find her daughter. But what actually happened? Let’s check the news from those years of the queen.”

“In 2003, the queen publicly announced she was going abroad to study music, probably because she was pregnant and going abroad to give birth. In 2004, she was busy releasing albums, in 2005, she held several successful concerts, in 2006, rumors of her affair with a wealthy businessman surfaced. Shall I continue? During those years, it seems like the queen was very successful, with no signs of distress. There was also no news of her searching for her daughter. Mengli, why do you think that is?”

Su Mengli looked coldly at Shen Biru and said, “I think it’s because she never wanted to find this child, right? Or perhaps, sending this child away was her idea from the start, so she never thought about reclaiming the child.”
