474 The Heavens Are Unfair
Translator: Zayn_
Two days later, the Shen Corporation ceased to exist.
in fact, the capital chain was broken, the managementâs decision-making was wrong, and a series of scandals had caused the Shen Corporation to go bankrupt before the shares were acquired by Longxing Logistics.
What the Shen family faced was not only the bankruptcy of the group, but also debts that far exceeded ten million.
Since Wen Wan had taken away half of Shen Jiâs assets, the assets under his name, including gold and real estate, could not cover the debt at all.
As for Shen Xiuren and Xu Li, the former was facing jail time for embezzling tens of millions of the companyâs funds for illegal activities such as high-interest loans. The latter was suspected of intentional assault and was also sued. Moreover, the two of them tried to escape with the money and failed, so they were even more worried about themselves.
Therefore, part of the Shen familyâs debt naturally fell on Shen Xiyanâs head.
As a result, all the assets under her name were frozen, and even her house had to be auctioned off.
With only a few hundred yuan left, Shen Xiyan could not bring herself to beg for help and could only go back to the orphanage.
It was getting late and the cold wind was biting.
Shen Xiyan lingered at the entrance of the orphanage for a long time.
Back then, she had been so rude to the dean. What if the dean held a grudge and chased her out? Then she would have nowhere else to go!
No, he definitely wouldnât. She was from the orphanage. The director wouldn t leave her in the lurch. If he really dared to do that, he would go to the media and expose her!
Shen Xiyan, who was now confident, immediately went to the guard office to register.
Fortunately, the guard recognized her and let her in before the director returned.
Shen Xiyan gathered her coat and walked towards the deanâs office while regretting that she had worn too little.
At this moment, a car stopped at the entrance.
Shen Xiyan glanced back and saw that it was a luxury car. She subconsciously hid behind the pillar next to her.
Shen Xiyanâs eyes widened the moment the people in the car got off.
It was actually Lu Ziyan? Why was he here? And at a time like this?
Just as she was feeling bewildered, the director seemed to have received a notice and ran over.
Then, the two of them walked to the office one after another.
Shen Xiyan hesitated for a moment and followed him quietly.
âIâve already checked the previous information. According to the time frame given by CEO Lu, as well as the approximate age information⦠There are two people in the courtyard who fit your description. One is Song Qingyou and the other is Shen Xiyan. They came in on the same dayâ¦â
âAt that time, there was no such thing as collecting DNA information in the hospital. Later on, when the two of them grew up, they didnât collect it⦠If youâre in a hurry, Iâll get them to come back for a DNA test immediatelyâ¦
The deanâs words made Shen Xiyanâs eyes flicker.
Lu Ziyan was silent for two seconds. He said, âWeâre not sure if itâs them yet. In order to avoid having a false hope, why donât you let them do a test in the name of collecting DNA to supplement the relevant information?â
âNo problem.â The hospital director paused for a moment before asking, âI wonder if the person CEO Lu is looking for is related to you?â
âSheâs my auntâs daughter, my cousin.â
âI see.â
The hospital director nodded, indicating that he would produce the test report as soon as possible.
Shen Xiyan, who was blocked by the bushes, didnât hear a word of their subsequent pleasantries.
It was not that she had not gone to look for her biological parents all these years.
With the identity of the Shen familyâs daughter, she could use a wide range of connections, so in just a few months, she had found some clues.
Unfortunately, not only had her biological parents divorced long ago, but their family background was also very poor. When she came to Jing City, she could only work at the bottom of the social ladderâ¦Shen Xiyan instantly dispelled the idea of acknowledging her family.
But she didnât expect Song Qingyou to be a member of the Lu family when her family was so poor!
Just now, Lu Ziyan had said that this was one of the last few orphanage he had looked for. Song Qingyou could really become the daughter of the Lu family!
Why?
Why was Song Qingyou so lucky?
Why was she so unlucky that she didnât even have a place to stay?
The heavens were too unfair!
Shen Xiyan gritted her teeth and pointed her middle finger at the sky.
No matter what, she would never sit still and wait for death!
Back then, she was able to rely on her little cleverness to get the Shen family to adopt her and even let her register as a member of the Shen family.
Now, she could use some tricks to replace Song Qingyou and go to the Lu family!
No, she couldnât be called a replacement. Her surname should have been Lu!
The news of the Shen familyâs bankruptcy had been trending for several days.
There was no news from Shen Xiyan during this time. It seemed that she could not jump up again after losing her backer.
At the same time, the news that Shen Xiyan had hired a water army to smear The Laws of Love and spread rumors about An Suiâs bad luck was also exposed.
The box office sales of The Laws of Love welcomed a wave of rising opportunities. Moreover, it had become a dark horse among the new year movies.
On December 29th, Jiang Xuyan suggested and Song Qingyou decided to hold the company dinner in the evening.
However, Ye Guiwan said that she wanted to come and brought Zhong Jiayin, Fu Chen, and the others along. The companyâs internal gathering turned into a gathering of friends in the industry.
The 30th was the last day of the year, so Song Qingyou had to accompany Song Xingye.
In the evening, Lin Xuyang, who had almost no rest throughout the year, finally rushed back from the company.
Song Xingye was still busy in the kitchen, while Song Qingyou was sitting on the sofa watching the news.
Lin Xuyang put down the gift that he had prepared earlier and looked around. âWhy donât 1 see Zhizhi?â
âI heard from your fans that you always bring that cat with you wherever you go. Why didnât you bring the cat with you on New Yearâs Eve?
Song Qingyouâs eyes flickered. âHeâs in my room.â
Lin Xuyang nodded. âThatâs true. Cats like to sleep.â
Song Qingyou didnât respond.
If she said too much, it would be easy to expose herself.
The Jiang family was having a family banquet tonight. Even if Jiang Zhihan didnât want to go home, he had to show up. He didnât want people to think that he was kicked out of the family and support Dong Xiâs one-year-old son. âCough, Brother Xuyang, you came back so late. Is it because of the Shen Corporationâs matters? Have you not finished settling them?â
âItâs almost done.â
Lin Xuyang wasnât interested in cats, so Song Qingyou changed the topic very smoothly.
âOh, right, thereâs a problem with the laboratory at University A. Professor Qin said that itâs best if you can take the time to stay there for a while.
Song Qingyou nodded.
She had originally planned to do so.
She was the one who led the development of holographic technology.
The reason why she hadnât produced any results after such a long time was because her main focus wasnât on this matter. Secondly, the people in the laboratory had never seen true holographic technology. They could only cross the river by feeling the stones and thoroughly understand the information given by Song Qingyou.
Qin Xiuyuan had asked Lin Xuyang to send a message, which meant that they were almost done with their preparations.
Lin Xuyang wanted to ask a few more questions about the laboratory, but Song Xingye, who was in the kitchen, had already poked his head out. âStop chatting and get ready to eat.â
âAlright.â
The two of them said in unison and stood up at the same time..
