Chapter 1789: Chapter 1790: The Girl Who Makes His Heart Ache

“She’s not Chu Xi. You’ve got the wrong person.”

His girl never thought of depending on others to live. If she were someone like Chu Xi, she would have obediently lived under his protection and become Mrs. Li with peace of mind.

But she didn’t.

She made remarkable achievements in the entertainment industry, and after Qin Jun oppressed her, she went out to start a company and thrived just as well. Rong Yan was never Chu Xi. But Qin Jun, as her brother, treated her like Chu Xi. That’s what truly disheartens!

Li Shengxiao half-closed his eyes, enduring the heartache, and coldly said to him, “My wife is missing, but I will find her myself. I don’t need your help, nor do you need to interfere. Just take care of Madame Chu. Regarding her birth, if possible, I hope you never bring it up in front of her. Compared to having her biological mother and brother defending an impostor right in front of her, I think my wife would rather believe her parents were simply unable to raise her and had to abandon her early on as small-time crooks. At least, feeling sorry won’t hurt as much.”

Qin Jun tried to explain, “Aunt and I didn’t do it on purpose. It was just a coincidence. We never expected this to happen, and she’s very guilty too.”

Li Shengxiao’s deep eyes seemed to penetrate one’s heart. His thin lips parted slightly, his tone indifferent, “But you don’t feel like you did anything wrong.”

“To this point, you still haven’t realized what you did wrong, nor have you realized how selfish and egotistical your behavior is.”

Qin Jun treated his girl like she was the same as Chu Xi, so deep down he believed that acknowledging or not acknowledging kinship was Jiang Chenyue’s prerogative.

How is someone like Qin Jun any different from Shen Siyuan?

They both rely on their status to look at others one-sidedly, carrying an inherent prejudice against those inferior to them, convinced that the poor aren’t worthy of dignity.

Without dignity, when faced with money and status, they never refuse, only showing a greedy face eager for wealth and position.

He used a superior gaze to look down on his girl. Such arrogant condescension is detestable!

Qin Jun didn’t understand what Li Shengxiao was saying, assuming Li Shengxiao was merely fixated on the fact that they didn’t immediately recognize Rong Yan, and instead aided Chu Xi in suppressing her. He also grew angry, clenching his fists in frustration, “I don’t want to argue about this with you. The most important thing now is to find Yan. I just want to find her. Where is Chu Xi? Is she with you, or did she run away?”

Li Shengxiao didn’t want to argue about this either, but he still didn’t want to pay him any mind, responding plainly, “Ran away.”

“Ran away?” Qin Jun’s face turned unsightly as he pursued, “So, it is related to her after all? Damn it! I should never have kept her back then.”

He shouldn’t have softened, fearing that his aunt couldn’t take it and thus allowed this venomous woman to lurk in their home.

His current regret caused his heart much distress. Pressing his lips together, he said in a low voice, “Leave this side to you. I’ll send people to find her. She hasn’t left Capital City, has she?”

“Fu Yi hasn’t received any information about her departure.”

“So she’s still in Capital City?” Qin Jun’s tightly knit brows slightly relaxed as he immediately stated, “I’ll go find her. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely bring her back!”

“Mhm.” Li Shengxiao didn’t want to bother with him, so his tone remained indifferent and noncommittal.

Whether or not they catch Chu Xi is unimportant to him; he only cares about Rong Yan’s safety.
