Chapter 376: Chapter 376 The Mystery of The Origin_1

Shen Zhiyi drunkenly burped, utterly uninhibited with Shi Qian.

She was now answering to Shi Qian’s every question, "My aunt left on her own, she was only 20 years old."

Shi Qian frowned, perplexed, she asked, "Why did she leave?"

She was truly puzzled.

If she had such a distinguished background, she wouldn’t leave without a valid reason.

Shen Zhiyi shook her head, "At that time, I hadn’t been born yet, I also don’t know what happened. I was curious too and asked, but no one from the Shen family, including my father, would talk about it."

Shi Qian didn’t manage to dig up any useful information and felt somewhat disappointed.

Instantly, her attention returned to the wet drawing in her hands. She didn’t even notice when Shen Zhiyi finally passed out from drunkenness and fell asleep on the floor.

She felt like she was losing her mind, as she stared at the emblem of the Shen family in the sketch, the more familiar it looked.

After staring at it for so long, she almost fell asleep.

Suddenly, something crossed her mind in a flash.

"Ah..." Shi Qian exclaimed, shockingly regaining her senses.

At that moment, her heart pounded faster, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but she didn’t have time to wipe it off because...

She just remembered why this sketch was so familiar.

She also knew who currently possessed this fragment.

It was Xia Qingtian!!!

When she and Bo’s mother went to send Xia Guohua abroad for surgery, she remembered this shard made into a necklace which Xia Qingtian held in her hands then.

She found the pendant of the necklace odd and unattractive, so she had taken a good look at it. Afterward, she gave it no further thought.

If she hadn’t seen this sketch in Shen’s father’s study, she would have never remembered it.

So...

The person the Shen family is looking for is Xia Qingtian’s mother?

Doesn’t that mean Xia Qingtian is the person from the Shen family that Shen Zhiyi mentioned with such reverence?

At this thought, Shi Qian felt jealousy eating away at her.

Why?

Why is Xia Qingtian’s life so perfect?

Not only does she have Bo Jingyan’s love and the title of mistress of the Bo family,

She even has a low-profile, powerful maternal side to her.

And what about her, Shi Qian?

What does she have?

The only thing she has is Bo’s mother’s bias towards her due to a debt of gratitude.

Compared to Xia Qingtian, that’s nothing.

If the Shen family does find Xia Qingtian, given their stress on her importance, they will most definitely give her the best of everything.

How could she, Shi Qian, compete with Xia Qingtian then?

Was she fated to always be inferior to Xia Qingtian?

No!

She wouldn’t allow that!!!

She had to figure something out.

She wouldn’t let Xia Qingtian return to the Shen family, nor would she forever be in Xia Qingtian’s shadow.

With that thought, a firm determination appeared in Shi Qian’s eyes.

She would not lose to Xia Qingtian!!!

...

On the other hand,

Xia Qingtian knew nothing about what was happening with the Shen family.

She was still troubled by Cheng Bingbing’s opportunity to get rid of her scars.

It was clear that Shen Zhiyi was blaming her for Shen Yaxuan’s disappearance. And she couldn’t deny the fact that Shen Yaxuan was in love with her.

In fact, even now, she couldn’t assure that Shen Yaxuan no longer harbored feelings for her.

So that meant Shen Zhiyi couldn’t help.

However, Shen Zhiyi did give her an idea. To secure another spot for surgery, she could approach someone who actually wielded power in the Shen’s family.

Therefore, she tried to find out who was in charge of the Shen family, and discovered it was Shen’s father.

If she got Shen’s father to agree, she could secure the surgery slot.

However, Xia Qingtian didn’t know Shen’s father and she didn’t have his contact either. She needed a mediator, and the best choice was, of course, Bo Jingyan.

However, she had promised Bo’s mother that she wouldn’t rely on Bo Jingyan for her showbiz matters.

After much thought, she decided to ask for help from Mr. Lu, a friend of Bo’s grandfather.

Even though Bo’s grandpa was gone, Mr. Lu still held the Bo family in high regard and was very good to her. He agreed to help without hesitating upon hearing her request.

So, she successfully met with Shen’s father.

Knowing that Shen’s father was fond of alcohol, she brought a bottle of fine wine as a gift.

Shen’s father was straightforward. He recognized Xia Qingtian as Bo’s wife, plus with Mr. Lu’s recommendation, he was definitely going to give face.

Therefore, he agreed immediately.

He called Shengmei’s chain store right in front of Xia Qingtian and scheduled a surgery for Cheng Bingbing early next morning.

Xia Qingtian thanked Shen’s father profusely.

...

The next day,

Xia Qingtian and Cheng Bingbing went to Shengmei’s chain store early in the morning.

This time, everything went smoothly and they weren’t stopped by the reception.

Only an hour later, when Bingbing came out of the operation room with a bandaged face, did they finally heave a sigh of relief.

The aesthetician advised them about the recovery procedure. They needed to take medication on time for the next three days, not expose the wound to wind or water and leave the bandage on.

On the fourth day, they could remove the bandage and clean the residue medicine from her face.

The following three days were critical.

Xia Qingtian was almost by Cheng Bingbing’s side 24/7, afraid something would go wrong.

Luckily, the three days passed uneventfully.

On the fourth day, after removing the bandage and washing off the black residue, the scar on Cheng Bingbing’s face was gone. Her skin was even smoother and softer than before.

"Sister Qingtian, my scar is really gone." Cheng Bingbing looked at her face and couldn’t contain her excitement, her eyes reddening as she screamed.

Xia Qingtian happily agreed, "Indeed, your face is finally healed."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Cheng Bingbing embraced Xia Qingtian, "Sister Qingtian, thank you, thank you so much. If it wasn’t for you, my face wouldn’t have healed and my acting career would have been over."

"Sister Qingtian, don’t worry, I’ll work hard in the future to make a lot of money for you."

Overjoyed, she began to babble.

Xia Qingtian understood and patted her on the back, "Great, we’ll be unstoppable in the showbiz world."

Cheng Bingbing’s excitement took a while to wear off.

Afterwards, they went to the film crew to notify the director and relieve his anxiety. They informed him that Cheng Bingbing could come back to complete her scenes anytime.

Seeing that Cheng Bingbing’s face had healed, the director was really pleased. He encouraged her and asked her to return to the set in three days to film her many scenes.

Cheng Bingbing agreed.

After taking care of the film crew matters, they planned to leave.

However, they were stopped before they could leave the film crew.
