Chapter 707: The sky won't fall

Shen Ci stood up, stepped forward, and used both hands to hug her sister tightly: "Shen Li, you must know that no matter what the truth is, it cannot change the fact that we are a family."

"Mom, Aunt, Uncle, as well as Shen Xing, He Sui, and He Bin, and me—we will always be your family, family that even blood ties cannot block."

"Your sister is right. It's been so many years; we had long forgotten about this matter." Shen Yingying said.

He Bin took two tissues and handed them to Shen Li: "Wipe your tears."

Shen Li asked helplessly: "So those two people at the event today, are they really my biological father and sister?"

Shen Jingjing shook her head and sighed: "No one can confirm that, because I have never seen them either. When I found you on the park bench back then, it was noon. I wrapped you in my coat and waited until dark without seeing anyone return, so I was sure you were abandoned."

"But..." Shen Jingjing hesitated, but finally guessed: "That girl does indeed look very much like you, so there should be that possibility."

"Shen Li, you are grown up now. Since Mom has told you about this, she will also respect your own decision." Shen Jingjing looked at her and said in a serious tone: "If you want to acknowledge them, Mom won't stop you."

"I don't want to." Shen Li shook her head and refused without even thinking, and said firmly: "I have family, I have Mom and Sister."

He Bin sneered from the side: "I don't think they came to acknowledge Shen Li sincerely either. They just saw that Shen Li became a big star and thought of finding her. It's probably just for money."

"I will help Shen Li resolve this matter cleanly. I just need a clear attitude from her."

Shen Ci asked: "Shen Li, you don't want to acknowledge them, right?"

"I won't acknowledge them, I absolutely won't!" Shen Li wiped away her tears and said.

"Good. With those words, Sister feels confident. Don't worry, as long as Sister is here, no one can force you to do anything, and even less can anyone snatch you away from this family."

Shen Ci's attitude was like a reassurance, giving others confidence as well.

Who knew that the next second, Shen Li suddenly reached out and held her sister: "Sister."

Shen Ci asked softly and puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Shen Li pursed her thin lips and thought for a moment, then spoke as if she had made up her mind: "This matter... I want to handle it myself, is that okay?"

"Shen Li, wouldn't it be better to let your sister handle it?" Shen Jingjing said subconsciously: "Your personality is soft; they will bully you."

Shen Yingying and He Bin also looked worried. Clearly, in their hearts, Shen Ci was the one who could stand alone.

"Mom, I won't let people bully me." Shen Li raised her face. Although there were still undried tears on it, her eyes were very firm: "Because I know that no matter what I do, my sister will always be behind me supporting me."

Hearing her sister say this, Shen Ci couldn't help but smile knowingly.

At this moment, she truly felt her sister's change. She was no longer timid or cowardly, nor would she be afraid because of the unknown.

"If you want to, Sister will support you." Shen Ci patted her sister: "Don't worry, the sky won't fall!"

Early the next morning, at the train station ticket hall.

Hu Yutong was woken up by the cold.

The sky was still dim gray. She curled up in a corner and took out her phone to check the time; it was only past six in the morning.

She sneezed suddenly, waking up her father beside her.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Hu Xiang asked, turning his head toward his daughter in a daze.

"It's too cold, Dad." Hu Yutong climbed up. Underneath her was only a thin piece of clothing, and below that was the cold ground.

She took a thermos out of her bag: "I'm going to get some hot water."

Hu Xiang also climbed up: "Then I won't sleep either. There are people selling breakfast on the roadside outside. I'm going to buy some. Do you want anything?"

"Sticky corn is fine."

"That's not enough! Dad will buy you some steamed buns, and add a tea egg."

"Spend sparingly. We don't know how long we'll have to stay in Longcheng."

Hu Xiang glared: "We're going to find Shen Li's agency today. When she sees me, her biological father, and you, her biological sister, won't she have to arrange for us to stay in a hotel and eat something good? You and she are twins, after all."

"That's only if she's willing to acknowledge us." Hu Yutong's mind was still relatively clear.

Hu Xiang didn't care: "Whether she acknowledges us or not isn't up to her! If she doesn't acknowledge me, I'll expose her on the internet. A big star who doesn't acknowledge her own father and sister—see if she's afraid."

"You go get the hot water, go quickly and come back quickly. Don't let the things get stolen. I'll go to the roadside to see; I want to eat a pancake."

Hu Yutong took out her toothbrush kit and went to the washroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. In Longcheng's winter, the tap water could freeze your teeth off, but Hu Yutong seemed used to it.

Brushing with cold water, washing with cold water.

Because at home, winter was the same; the faucet had no hot water function, and it was cold water all year round.

She looked up at the face in the mirror that was the same as Shen Li's. They said it was the same, but she always felt it was different everywhere.

The Shen Li on TV was truly beautiful, wearing beautiful clothes, and wearing beautiful makeup.

And her?

Some people had said she was pretty, but that was as far as it went.

Truly the same face, different fates.

If the one who had been abandoned back then was her, would she be the Shen Li of today?

"So expensive! This little bit of stuff cost me four cents. This cage of buns only has seven; back home, a cage has ten. This really is the capital; they don't treat commoners' money as money."

Listening to her father's nagging, Hu Yutong felt a bit annoyed: "I told you not to buy it, but you insisted. Now that you've bought it, you're complaining. I'm fine with just sticky corn; you eat more."

"You eat, you eat." Hu Xiang chuckled: "This trip depends a lot on you. If I came alone, no one would believe me even if I shouted until my throat broke. It's thanks to you two being twins and looking the same that others will have to believe it even if they don't want to."

"Then today, when we go to Shen Li's company, if we can see her, your attitude must be better. You were the ones who abandoned her back then; you must admit your mistakes, otherwise why would anyone acknowledge you?" Hu Yutong reminded him word by word.

Hu Xiang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Dad knows."

"Don't be unreasonable and make a scene. Besides, we are already in the wrong. If we become annoying, we won't be able to acknowledge our sister even more."

Hu Xiang nodded again: "Understood, understood."

"You eat this egg; Dad peeled it for you."

"You didn't wash your hands. You eat it yourself; I'll peel it myself."

"Tsk, you're even looking down on your dad now..."

The father and daughter huddled in the corner, bickering while finishing their breakfast.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two of them, carrying heavy backpacks, braved the cold wind and followed the address found on the internet to the headquarters of "Jin Xiao Entertainment."

Hu Xiang looked up. The building was fifty or sixty stories high. He was surprised and clicked his tongue in wonder: "Oh my god, this building is really high. It makes me dizzy just looking at it." ===== CHAPTER 708 =====
