"What?"
Qin Yexuan immediately turned around. He had been thinking about this matter on the way and had intended to investigate it immediately.
He hadn't expected Shen Bingmei to have found a clue.
"Ah Xue's mother, you found her? You know what's behind all this?"
Shen Bingmei wiped her tears. "I've worked with Tang Sheng Media before. Everyone in our industry, the kings and queens of entertainment, knows about Tang Guandong's past. Ah Xue's mother was a girl from the Beijiang Nightclub, ruined by Tang Guandong. She had no choice but to flee with her daughter..."
The events that transpired in between were easy to imagine.
Ah Xue's mother absolutely did not want her daughter to grow up with a scoundrel. But at that time, she was penniless and alone. To ensure her child could live a stable life, she had no choice but to send her to an orphanage after drifting to Jiangcheng!
This was all something Qin Yexuan had considered.
"How did you find her?" Qin Yexuan pulled over a chair and helped Shen Bingmei sit down.
Shen Bingmei gave him a sidelong glance, her hand touching the small scar on her neck, yet she smiled. "Not only did you see me, but you also left me a mark. We must have a connection from a past life."
Qin Yexuan was extremely exasperated. "Let's talk about the important matter first!"
"Well, it was quite coincidental. I mobilized the resources of several major media companies in the industry. I originally just wanted to investigate Tang Guandong and Ah Xue, but I unexpectedly stumbled upon a lead. It turns out that not long ago, someone called Tang Sheng Media and directly asked if Tang Guandong was dead."
"The caller was a woman, and her voice was very pleasant. This clue made me feel something was amiss."
Qin Yexuan interrupted her. "Ah Xue's mother was harmed by Tang Guandong her entire life. Her greatest wish was for the villain to die so she could finally find peace of mind."
Shen Bingmei smiled. "I didn't know all that. I was just curious, so I investigated the woman's phone number."
As a top star, this diva indeed had connections. She paid the woman a visit and cleverly extracted the truth.
Qin Yexuan was delighted. "Where is Ah Xue's mother?"
"Heh, she's quite something now. She's the second wife of the vice president of a listed company in Tianhai."
What was all this?
Qin Yexuan frowned. "Second wife?"
"Yes, Tianhai's vice president, Yang Dongyuan, divorced his main wife, but he still lived with her outwardly, not mentioning it to outsiders. Therefore, although Yang Dongyuan and Ah Xue's mother were officially married, both within the family and outside, she was treated as a mistress!"
Qin Yexuan's head ached. He opened his phone to search for news.
The top headlines were there.
"Tianhai Vice President Yang Dongyuan Presides Personally, Enters Jiangcheng to Compete with Tianyi Group!"
"Tianhai, a world-class financial group, backed by numerous super-powers. Although Tianyi Group is number one in Jiangcheng, it's no match for this behemoth."
Qin Yexuan skimmed through these mundane news articles and saw several discussion topics below.
They were straightforward gossip.
"Yang Dongyuan has a mistress by his side named Liu Zhenzhu. She's beautiful and elegant, but her background is rather astonishing. She used to be the top performer at the Northern Nightclub. Think about it, what does it mean for Yang Dongyuan to bring his mistress along now that Tianhai is entering Jiangcheng? I heard the original wife has already brought people to confront them."
Liu Zhenzhu.
Qin Yexuan nodded and bowed deeply to Shen Bingmei. "I was wrong just now. You finding Ah Xue's mother is a great kindness to us."
After speaking, he called the sisters downstairs and explained softly.
Su Bingyan's expression was calm. "Miss Shen is so kind? Then why did she come with luggage? Is she using this achievement to try and snatch Brother-in-law away?"
Bingyan had seen it all and immediately saw through Shen Bingmei's intentions with a single sentence.
Qin Yexuan gave a wry smile. "We'll talk about this later. Finding Ah Xue's mother means I can put another worry to rest."
The sisters then looked at Su Xueqing.
The girl's face was pale. After a long while, she cried out, "I don't want to see her! She abandoned me back then, and now she wants to find me? Hmph, I won't see her!"
The sisters tried to persuade her.
Su Xueqing retorted fiercely, "Tell that slut, worse than a pig or dog, to get lost! Stay away from me!"
*Slap!*
She received a slap across the face.
Su Bingyan was the one who did it.
"Second Sister?" Su Xueqing immediately became obedient.
Su Bingyan said calmly, "You are not allowed to speak about your mother like that. No matter what she did, you are still her daughter!"
With her elder sister's demeanor, the situation stabilized.
Su Bingyan then approached Shen Bingmei, her displeasure hidden, and said solemnly, "Thank you for helping my sister find her birth mother. I will repay this kindness and debt, but please respect us sisters and leave quickly!"
Shen Bingmei was taken aback by Bingyan's aura and awkwardly picked up her bag. "I'm sorry, I'll leave now."
The door opened again. The paparazzi outside were gone.
Only a line of silver Land Rovers stood proudly.
The car doors opened in unison, and a man stepped out with more than a dozen assistants and followers.
"Tianhai's Yang Dongyuan is here to see Su Xueqing. We need to talk! We absolutely must talk!"
