Chapter 708: The purpose is clear

~7 min read 1,364 words

"Dad, remember what I told you. If you don't want to sleep at the train station again, speak properly in a moment."

"I know, I know. Let's go in quickly; it's freezing cold outside."

The office building lobby was bustling with people, as it was the peak hour for work. People coming in and out were dressed neatly and walking in a hurry, but they would also glance at them a few times.

"It's already this late, are they just starting work?" Hu Xiang asked curiously.

Hu Yutong ignored him, because she was starting to get a little nervous herself.

Taking the elevator to the 31st floor, the elevator door opened to the huge front desk of "Jin Xiao Entertainment." The entire floor was the office location for "Jin Xiao Entertainment."

The front desk staff saw them in the elevator at a glance and immediately gave a look to the security guard on the side.

Hu Xiang and Hu Yutong had just stepped out of the elevator when they were stopped.

"The two of you, please leave. You cannot go in."

Hu Xiang and his daughter were both stunned. They hadn't even said anything yet, and they were stopped directly?

Little did they know that the two had already been listed by Sister Zhu Li as prohibited persons from stepping into the company's front door, and the entire company had received photos of the two.

These two security guards were also specifically guarding here.

"I—I'm here to find Shen Li!" Hu Xiang was angered by the other party's attitude and shouted at the top of his lungs: "I'm her father! Shen Li, you know her, right? A big star!"

Posters of the company's artists were posted on the surrounding walls, and Shen Li's giant poster was in the most prominent position. Hu Xiang saw it and pointed at the poster excitedly: "Shen Li, that's her, my daughter!"

The security guard looked at him expressionlessly and issued a warning: "Please leave on your own. If you insist on breaking in, we have the right to forcibly expel the two of you."

"You forci..."

Hu Xiang still wanted to make a scene, but was forcibly held down by Hu Yutong. She looked at the security guard and said: "We aren't here to make trouble. We just want to see Shen Li and say a few words to her. We'll leave after we're done."

Hu Xiang finally realized he had forgotten his daughter's words completely, and quickly apologized and echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, we'll just say a few words and leave when we're done. Can you just let us in?"

The security guard remained expressionless: "Please leave."

"I'm asking you, why can't you understand human language? Are you a robot?" Hu Xiang exploded again.

And the front desk staff had already notified Sister Zhu Li at the first opportunity, telling her that the two people had indeed come to the company.

Sister Zhu Li pushed the door open from inside and saw Hu Xiang making a scene and losing his temper at the security guard, and her brows immediately tightened.

She walked over, and the two security guards silently stepped aside when they saw her.

Hu Xiang's eyes lit up when he saw her: "You must be the leader here, right? I'm Shen Li's father, I'm here..."

"Your identity still needs to be confirmed, so please mind your wording." Sister Zhu Li said coldly. As she spoke, she glanced at Hu Yutong on the side, sighing in her heart—they really do look alike!

"What else needs to be confirmed? I'm her father, that can't be fake. Look at her sister, isn't she exactly the same as that big photo on the wall?"

"Looking exactly the same doesn't prove anything. If people who look alike came to the door every day saying they had a blood relationship with some star, would our company still be able to operate? If you want to prove it, bring a legally valid certificate. Otherwise, we will forcibly expel you for disturbing the peace."

"We can do it, no problem. You give me Shen Li's hair, toothbrush, or something. Otherwise, how can I do it?"

"That is your own business. We have no obligation to cooperate."

Paternity testing is originally a civil act. As long as it doesn't involve crime, citizens cannot be forced to undergo testing.

In other words, as long as Shen Li is unwilling to do it, the other party has no right to force her to do it.

Without doing it, there is no evidence!

"You are clearly being unreasonable. You aren't cooperating..."

Hu Xiang jumped high, his face flushed with anger, but he didn't expect the elevator door behind him to open suddenly halfway through his sentence.

Sister Zhu Li was startled when she saw the person in the elevator, and that expression made Hu Yutong subconsciously turn her head.

In the elevator, Shen Li was wearing a black wool coat, with a simple ponytail.

Her expression was three parts indifferent and seven parts cold, a side Sister Zhu Li had never seen before.

"Shen Li?"

Hu Yutong was also startled when she saw Shen Li appear suddenly, and quickly grabbed her father: "Dad, Shen Li."

Shen Li walked out of the elevator slowly, and Sister Zhu Li pushed Hu Xiang aside and greeted her: "Shen Li, why are you here?"

"Sister Zhu Li, I'm here to handle my own private affairs." Shen Li said with the same expression.

Sister Zhu Li was a little worried and whispered: "With the company here, and with me here, they won't be able to stir up any trouble."

"Sister Zhu Li, this matter is different from other things. There must be a conclusion." Shen Li looked at Hu Xiang and Hu Yutong. Her heart didn't stir at all when looking at Hu Xiang's face, but when she saw Hu Yutong's face, her emotions fluctuated slightly.

Because they really looked too much alike. Seeing them at such close range, they looked even more alike than yesterday.

But it was only for a moment. Shen Li signaled the two of them indifferently: "Follow me in."

Hu Xiang's face immediately showed joy: "Good, good, good, good child."

As he said this, he was about to walk up to Shen Li, but was stopped by a security guard who took a step forward: "Keep your distance."

Hu Xiang curled his lips unwillingly, but thinking that being able to see Shen Li meant there was a chance, he endured it.

Entering the company, everyone in the company looked over curiously.

Brother Bo looked at them from afar with anger. Seeing Shen Li take the two people and Sister Zhu Li into the meeting room, he also walked over quickly.

In the office, the five people sat opposite each other.

Shen Li sat between Sister Zhu Li and Brother Bo, raised her eyes to look at the two opposite her.

Judging from their clothing, their economic conditions shouldn't be very good. After so many years of no news, they suddenly were willing to spend a lot of energy and money to come to Longcheng to find her. What their purpose was was already clear.

"Where are you from?" Shen Li spoke first, her tone very calm.

Hu Xiang said busily: "Xijiang. Shen Li, you are from Xijiang."

"Xijiang?"

Hu Yutong heard the questioning in her tone and quickly explained: "Our hometown is Xijiang, but the two of us were born in Shengang. At that time, Mom and Dad were working in Shengang."

"This is your sister. Look, how much she looks like you, right?" Hu Xiang quickly grabbed Hu Yutong to let Shen Li see.

Hu Yutong also said: "You might think looking alike doesn't prove anything. We can do a paternity test."

"Yes, yes, yes, we can test."

The two looked at Shen Li with full expectation.

Shen Li said coldly: "No need to test. I believe you are real."

The father and daughter's faces showed joy upon hearing this, but before they could be happy, Shen Li added: "Because whether you are real or fake, to me, you are still strangers." ===== CHAPTER 709 =====
