Chapter 10: Chapter 10: The Brothers’ Meeting Gift Chapter 10: Chapter 10: The Brothers’ Meeting Gift “Boss, are you suspecting there’s something suspicious about your being switched at birth?”
Qingwu nodded and calmly said, “The Shen Family isn’t an ordinary wealthy family. Such a family wouldn’t let a mix-up of children go unnoticed for over ten years, especially since it involves several kids.”
“Alright, I’ll get to the bottom of it right away.”
Five minutes later, the information network Qingwu had established provided the latest news.
Back then, she, Lin Xuecheng, and Shen Shaojia were switched at birth during a period when a very serious medical incident occurred at the hospital where their mothers were delivering. The hospital’s maternity ward was moved directly to the neighboring orphanage due to the mishap. Because the orphanage was crowded and noisy, and the security measures weren’t as robust, several children got switched.
Qingwu said indifferently, “Give me the location of that orphanage. I’ll visit there in person later.”
“Boss, the orphanage is right there with that hospital, but the hospital has been closed and abandoned for many years. The orphanage is still there.”
“For it to stand unfazed for so many years, and still be in Beijing, that’s impressive. Boss, be careful.”
Qingwu had a hunch that there was definitely something wrong with that orphanage! She checked the address of the orphanage and put away her phone.
Shen Dongli’s voice came from the doorway, “Dear daughter, come down for dinner. I didn’t know what flavors you like, so see if it suits your palate.”
Shen Dongli’s gaze toward Qingwu was filled with loving care, fearing she’d say she didn’t like it.
Following behind him, Qingwu asked, “Given our family’s connections, why didn’t you try to investigate me after you found me?”
Shen Dongli chuckled, “It was your sister Shaojia who said that investigating in advance would lead to preconceived notions. If you hadn’t been doing well before, making amends would be inconvenient for your mom and me, so she suggested gradually learning about you after you came home.”
Qingwu nodded.
The large dining room windows were bright, the luxurious crystal chandelier’s refracted light fell onto a marble wall like gathered stars, with the light forming the large words: “Welcome Baby Home.”
The Chinese dining table made of 30-million-per-piece ebony sandalwood emitted a natural fragrance, accentuating the exquisite and adorable food on the table.
Four men stood before the dining table, looking at Qingwu expectantly yet cautiously.
They saw a girl standing on the stairs, bearing a seven-to-eight-point resemblance to their mother, wearing a light purple dress with a pristine Violet Crystal bracelet on her wrist.
She exuded an elegant and ethereal aura, beauty still like a fairy in a painting, yet carrying a hint of aloofness and purity like a snow lotus on an iceberg.
This was their real sister!
Shen Dongli introduced, “Xiao Wu, these are your brothers. Come on, boss, say hello.”
The man in the lead was elegant and gentle, a gentleman of noble demeanor, dressed in a bespoke Italian suit with precious Ruby cufflinks from last year’s auction, valued at 60 million.
Qingwu remembered that those cufflinks were won by the president of Changrong Industrial, Shen Boyi.
Shen Boyi was not only the youngest new-generation billionaire topping the rich list but also a renowned oil tycoon on the Dark Web!
Shen Boyi took out a black card and handed it to Qingwu.
He was unbelievably gentle, his smile practiced to perfection on the way home, perfect and elegant.
“Sister, I’m your big brother, Shen Boyi. This is a gift from your brother. Buy anything you like without any limit.”
Qingwu accepted it and nodded politely, “Thank you, big brother.”
Shen Boyi’s smile was more dazzling than when he had acquired ten gold mines.
The second man to step forward had a somewhat fair complexion, his features exquisitely carved without flaw, with hands that were well defined, like fine Jade that one would want to treasure as an artwork.
“Sister, I’m your second brother, Shen Zhongshuang. This is my gift for you.”
He handed Qingwu a box made of pear wood with a warm luster, every corner meticulously polished.
There were also some wood shavings on Shen Zhongshuang’s hands, clearly indicating he made it himself.
Inside the box was a hairpin and a card.
Shen Zhongshuang smiled, “The card allows you full access in all medical facilities worldwide, regardless of the situation. You’ll receive the best medical care. Of course, I hope you won’t need to use it.”
“Second brother isn’t as wealthy as big brother. This hairpin was made by me personally; I hope you like it.”
The name Shen Zhongshuang, Qingwu had seen in medical sci publications.
The youngest medical prodigy in the world, the only one capable of surgeries with a zero percent mortality rate, an impossibly skilled hand akin to a deity’s, never successfully poached by numerous international organizations willing to pay premium prices.
Qingwu picked up the hairpin, finely carved into an orchid, made from top-grade ten-thousand-piece wood.
“Thank you, second brother. I like it.”
Seeing Qingwu wear the hairpin he crafted, Shen Zhongshuang’s smile was radiantly warming, more satisfying than saving a hundred lives from the hands of death consecutively.
“Sister, I’m your third brother, Shen Shushan. You’ve probably seen me before? Here’s a gift from your third brother!”
Shen Shushan was the most handsome among the brothers, with thick eyebrows, bright eyes, and a nose that was sculpturally perfect, even his hair exuded precision.
The youngest grand slam actor in Hua Country, he had continuously snatched every actor crown since his debut, and no one in Hua Country’s streets doesn’t sing his songs. He’s now a red-hot superstar.
Qingwu received the luxury yacht keys from Shen Shushan and expressed gratitude, “Thank you, third brother. I like it.”
Shen Shushan’s eyes sparkled!
He had worried throughout the journey that his sister wouldn’t like his gift; her saying so was simply too perfect!
The last man seemed impatient as he stepped forward and lifted Qingwu into a spin.
Shen Dongli shouted in alarm, “Shen Jishi, put your sister down! If you drop her, I’ll beat you to death!”
Zuo Wanjun screamed as she rushed forward, nearly kicking Shen Jishi herself, afraid he might accidentally drop their precious daughter.
Shen Jishi wore a floral shirt with the top button undone, showing his alluring Adam’s apple.
The Shen Family had a predominantly righteous appearance, and Shen Jishi’s hint of roguishness somehow became charming, with the addition of that face.
Shen Jishi, the most famous international lawyer, undefeated at the International Court, his cases earned with fees reaching eight-figure sums, truly words worth gold.
“Sister, this is your fourth brother’s gift. What’s a young girl doing with a yacht?”
He clapped his hands, and a group of servants filed in, pushing a giant clothing rack.
Six racks were organized by color and type, hanging high-end luxury dresses for the season, with matching shoes, bags, and necklaces to save time on pairing.
Besides the racks, six individuals in tailored suits bowed to Qingwu, “Young lady, we are here to tailor and adjust clothes according to your style immediately.”
Qingwu looked at those clothes, slightly taken aback.
She always felt she had underestimated the Shen Family’s wealth.
Shen Jishi waved them off, “Take them to little sister’s room. She can try them on once she’s rested.”
“Yes.”
Qingwu looked at Shen Jishi and earnestly thanked, “Thank you, fourth brother. This is the first time I received so many clothes. I like them a lot.”
If Shen Jishi had a tail, it would’ve been wagging in the air.
Zuo Wanjun wiped her tears.
The clothes just now were only worth a bit; she complained about fourth brother’s thriftiness, but her daughter said she hadn’t even had that much before!
How poor Lin Family must have been, making her precious daughter live like a beggar, how distressing!
A delicate voice came from the door.
“Dad, mom, brothers, I’m back.”
Everyone’s expressions instantly went from joyous to nonchalant.
Shen Jishi pulled Qingwu into a seat. Shen Dongli replied indifferently, “Oh, when are you leaving?”
Qingwu: “…”
A girl in a pink puff dress stood at the door, hair in perfect curls, wearing an adorable little crown, with charming eyes but thin lips and a small nose, giving a somewhat haggard look.
Shen Yurou felt incredibly aggrieved, yet dared not say anything.
“I heard elder sister was coming home today, so I especially came to see her, considering she might not know our Shen Family’s rules coming from the countryside.”
She cast Qingwu a look, emphasizing “our Shen Family.”
Shen Jishi snorted coldly, his mouth quicker than his brain.
“She is my true sister, my parents’ true daughter, the only little princess of our Shen Family. Whatever rules she says for the Shen Family are the rules, and if they aren’t, they’ll change immediately for her. If she doesn’t understand, do you?”
