She Came From Hell (GL) - Chapter 24
“You take your sister to eat first. After you’re done, bring her here. Go wherever you like, I’ll take her back to the company,” Fu Jingsheng said, no longer trusting Fu Yinxuan to take care of Shen Yilan.
He then looked down at Shen Yilan, who was sitting on his lap, and said, “You go with your brother to eat first. Daddy has something to talk to Auntie about.”
Shen Yilan glanced at Fu Jingsheng, then at Lu Huaixiang, and nodded. She got off Fu Jingsheng’s lap, grabbed Fu Yinxuan’s hand, and followed him back to Zhou Yahuan and Zheng Qi.
Occasionally, Shen Yilan would turn around to look at Fu Jingsheng and Lu Huaixiang, who were chatting happily.
Fu Yinxuan noticed that Shen Yilan seemed particularly interested in what was happening with Fu Jingsheng, which made him wonder, but he didn’t say anything.
After finishing their meal, Fu Jingsheng came over to take Shen Yilan out of the restaurant.
This was Shen Yilan’s first time visiting Fu Jingsheng’s company.
The employees at the company were surprised to see Fu Jingsheng holding a little girl. They wondered who the child was. Some even speculated that she might be his illegitimate daughter.
Fu Jingsheng didn’t offer any explanation.
He directly took Shen Yilan to the CEO’s office, placed her on the couch, and told her to play there.
Fu Jingsheng sat at his desk and began handling documents.
Shen Yilan looked around the office, and her eyes landed on a painting hanging on the wall.
The painting showed a woman’s back, standing in a sea of flowers, facing the setting sun. It was beautiful, very beautiful.
Shen Yilan stared at it for a while. Suddenly, she noticed something strange. In the distance of the flower field, there seemed to be a small house. It was painted so small, probably because it was far away, and if you didn’t look closely, you might miss it.
Shen Yilan frowned slightly. She felt that the house in the painting seemed oddly familiar.
“Little Lan, what are you looking at so intently?” Fu Jingsheng looked up from his desk and saw Shen Yilan staring at the painting on the wall.
Shen Yilan smiled, turned to Fu Jingsheng, and said, “I’m looking at the pretty sister and the flowers in the painting!”
Fu Jingsheng chuckled and said, “If you’re thirsty or hungry, just tell Daddy, and I’ll have someone get something for you.”
Shen Yilan nodded and said, “Okay… Daddy, where is this place in the painting? It’s so beautiful!”
Fu Jingsheng glanced at the painting on the wall and said, “Do you want to go there?”
“Mhm, Daddy, can you tell me?” Shen Yilan asked with a sweet smile.
“It’s in Juyao Village, in the southern suburbs of G City. When Daddy has time, I’ll take you there,” Fu Jingsheng said, his voice gentle, bringing warmth to Shen Yilan’s heart.
When Shen Yilan heard this, her heart sank. Juyao Village… she had lived in Juyao Village for five years and had never heard of such a place.
Suddenly, she remembered that during the five years she spent with her grandmother, aside from Juyao Village and the road leading to the town, her grandmother never took her anywhere else.
As soon as she thought of this, a sinking feeling took over her, and she imagined the worst possible outcome… but then she dismissed the thought, telling herself it was impossible.
Shen Family
“Since Shen Yilan is dead, let’s bring Ziyan back! We’ve made Ziyan suffer enough because of her,” Mrs. Shen said.
“Let’s wait a bit. Now isn’t the right time. With Shen Yilan’s death, the whole internet is watching. If we bring Ziyan back now, it might raise suspicions,” Mr. Shen shook his head and said.
“Just bring Ziyan back first. When the time is right, we can announce it,” Mrs. Shen disagreed, her voice firm.
