Chapter 23.2 Being notified to inherit the family property?!
Editor: Jodi
Wei Shuo was live-streaming a game as usual when he heard his phone ringing from the upside down position he had put it. He felt an inexplicable familiarity with this scene.
He checked the caller ID: Shen Ci.
Wei Shuo: “…” What strange thing is this guy going to do now?
He directly quit the game, spoke briefly to his viewers in the live broadcast, and went out to the corridor to answer the phone.
The moment the call connected, Shen Ci’s urgent voice burst out, “How is the thing I asked you to do before going?”
Wei Shuo had a bad feeling, but pretended to be clueless, “Huh? What thing?”
Shen Ci sighed, really wanting to smack Wei Shuo, “The DNA test!”
Wei Shuo pretended to have suddenly realized, “Oh oh…..”
On the surface, he appeared calm, but deep down he was panicking.
Because the day after he had asked his dad for help, he was summoned to the study late in the night.
His dad not only said that this matter couldn’t be done but also sternly warned him not to let Shen Ci suspect that he was intentionally withholding the results, then was told to find ways to prevent Shen Ci from discovering the truth through other means.
Wei Shuo wasn’t stupid. As soon as he heard this, he had a strong hunch that it was just as he had suspected: Shen Ci wasn’t a child of the Shen family at all.
When he asked why, his dad gave him a deep look and only said, “Just do it, or else I’ll call your mom back from M Country.”
Wei Shuo immediately expressed his absolute obedience. He had initially thought of standing up for his friend and fighting for the right to know, but that thought died in an instant.
What a joke…. if his old-fashioned mom came back, not only would he not be able to do live broadcasts anymore, all the trendy clothes and shoes he had collected in his closet would be out of the question.
He originally thought that Shen Ci, this little fool had long forgotten about it, but today, he unexpectedly remembered.
His heart jumped to his throat and he hesitated for a moment before he said, “Uh, the result hasn’t come yet.”
Shen Ci: “Huh? It’s taking this long? Stinky Shuo, it can’t be that you’ve forgotten and are now trying to lie to me right?”
“How is that possible!” Wei Shuo was anxious: “Do I look like that kind of person to you? I asked my dad to arrange it a long time ago, but he… he hasn’t given me the results! Whenever I ask, he tells me it’s still in the process of being verified. There’s nothing I can do.”
Shen Ci was completely confused. According to logic, it shouldn’t take this long.
“Never mind, maybe I’ll go to the hospital myself in a while.” Shen Ci told him.
Wei Shuo discouraged him quickly, “Isn’t that a bad idea? If the paparazzi catch wind of it, it will definitely cause another scandal. Just yesterday, someone was specifically targeting you, leaking so many private photos; it’s really scary. Artists appearing at hospitals are already sensitive situations, and your career has just started. It’s better to be cautious.”
Shen Ci sighed. This was what he was also worried about.
Wei Shuo decided to divert Shen Ci’s attention immediately, “How about this, I’ll pester my dad again tonight!”
“Sigh, it’s probably because he’s been too busy with work lately. He’s been locked in his study all night long and even had a late night discussion with Uncle Lu before.”
Shen Ci’s attention was really shifted by Lu Xiao, “What? Late night discussions with Uncle Lu again? Is he getting busier recently?”
Wei Shuo nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, it seems like there have been some issues with the Lu Group lately. According to my dad, it’s related to those relatives from before the Lu family split. They have no shame. When the Lu family was in trouble back then, they avoided it like snakes and scorpions, and now they’re trying to snatch the family’s assets. Disgusting!”
It turns out it was like this. Shen Ci suddenly realized.
Lu Xiao always kept these tricky matters to himself, so Shen Ci could only learn about them from others.
He had heard from his mother that those relatives of Lu Xiao were indeed hard to handle.
He felt a little guilty. Lu Xiao was so busy, but he ended up involving him in these troublesome affairs. He really shouldn’t have done that.
He sighed, “I feel so sorry for little uncle, I wish I could do something for him. Sigh, but apart from being a pretty vase I’m useless….”
Wei Shuo: “If you want to do something… isn’t your birthday coming up soon? I remember both your birthdays are on the same day right?”
A light bulb lit up above Shen Ci’s head, “Right, I almost forgot! I can give him a birthday gift.”
But it was tough to choose a gift for Lu Xiao. He was so wealthy, it seemed he had everything.
Shen Ci thought about it, “What should I give him?”
Wei Shuo: “Uh… how about we go window shopping downtown? To look for some inspiration?”
Shen Ci nodded, “Okay, I’m free right now, so I guess that’s the plan.”
After a few simple words of farewell, they finally hung up and Wei Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily Shen Ci was a bit naive, and so was easy to fool.
Wei Shuo proudly put away his phone, ended his live broadcast, and got ready to go out.
He had arranged to meet Shen Ci at a downtown café but after he arrived, he found Shen Ci acting secretive, lurking outside the café door looking around anxiously, seemingly afraid to enter.
As soon as he saw Wei Shuo, he run over hurriedly, flustered, “Shuo Shuo, you’re finally here.”
Wei Shuo was puzzled and followed Shen Ci’s pointing finger, looking inside the café through the glass.
“Bad luck, I actually ran into Shao Jinhuan and Bai Ziwei having a date in there!”
