hter.
Her name is Shen Xi; our Shen family has an heir!”

Shen Hui burst into tears.
“Sit, sit.
What is this, I hear? Do you have a picture of the child? Of Shen Xi?”

Shen Qian sat beside her father and showed him a photo of Shen Xi that Zheng Huai had sent her.
Shen Hui accepted the phone gingerly.

Shen Qian pointed at Shen Xi and said, “Dad, look.
Doesn’t our Xixi’s eyes and nose resemble Ah Yan’s? Who else could she be if not a child of the Shen family?”

A wide smile formed over the wizened old man’s face.
An unseen tension seeped out of his frame, and the ever-present clouds of worry dissipated, turning to joy.

“What do you mean? She does not take after that rascal; she takes after me!” Shen Hui chided good-naturedly, more humour than reproach.

“Yes, yes.
She looks like you!” Shen Qian did not argue with her father.

Shen Xi’s appearance was Shen Qian’s biggest surprise.
After her little brother broke off contact with his family more than ten years ago, her father stopped contacting him out of anger.
However, Shen Qian could tell that her father missed her little brother dearly.

Due to his agreement with the Lu family and his stubborn character, Shen Hui did not contact his son in the ten years since he disappeared.
He even disallowed anyone in the family from contacting him.

Furthermore, to maintain operations of the Shen Corporation, Shen Hui had no choice but to assign Shen Qian, the position of heir to the company.
As an added security measure, Shen Qian even changed Zheng Huai’s surname, causing an upheaval in the family.

Now that the family had Shen Xi, Shen Qian would no longer be caught in the middle.
Shen Qian wanted to kneel and thank the heavens and the earth for the gift of giving her such a precious niece.

“Does the Lu family know about this?” Shen Hui suddenly asked, his expression turning serious.

“I don’t think so.
Ah Huai said that he found it by accident.
I think the Lu family still doesn’t know about this matter,” Shen Qian replied.

Shen Hui’s eyes lit up, “We mustn’t alert the enemy.
Don’t approach Shen Xi.
I won’t go either.
Let Zheng Huai go in our stead.”

The younger generation was not part of the agreement, so they did not have to abide by the rules.
“Tell Zheng Huai to get closer to his cousin.
Don’t let that old fart Lu De know about it, or else he’ll catch her and have her surname changed!”

Shen Qian’s expression grew solemn.
The matter was related to her happiness, so she had to do her best to protect Shen Xi’s identity.
“Dad, don’t worry.
I’ll be careful.
I won’t let the Lu family have Xixi or change her surname!”
