Li Yuen's expression changed slightly. Sympathy flashed in his eyes. Naturally, he could empathize with Fu Qingye's feelings. He glanced at Kunlun and ordered, "Bring me a bottle of wine."
Compared to him, Fu Qingye was considered lucky.
Fu Qingye had already found his little girl, but there seemed to be no clues about his sister.
Shen Xi looked at him. Usually, no matter what, he was a gentleman and would never show his true feelings in front of outsiders.
But now, after he spoke, he was full of loneliness and sadness. She felt a little sad and didn't know how to comfort him.
Fu Qingye drank, but he drank alone to drown his sorrows.
Li Yuen didn't touch a single drop of wine.
Shen Xi couldn't drink either. She was a person with serious business. If she drank too much, she knew how to go to the laboratory tomorrow.
"Have you found the person you are looking for?" Fu Qingye drank another glass of wine. It was the strongest brandy. After a mouthful, he felt as if his mouth, throat, and heart were burning. He almost choked to tears.
Li Yuen didn't answer, but glanced in the direction of the kitchen from the corner of his eye. He saw the little girl holding a big shiny knife and cutting an apple. He hurriedly ordered Kunlun, "Go to the kitchen and take a look."
Why would she use such a big knife to cut an apple? It looked scary. With her skills, what if she cut her hand?
"It's her?" Fu Qingye had been suspicious for a long time. After his third brother told him about Li Yuen and Toffeecito's father, he had already guessed it.
Who was Li Yuen? No matter in the business world or in life, he had never been kind to anyone. How could he care so much about her?
There was only one answer. The person he had been looking for all this time was her, Shen Xi!
Li Yuen still didn't answer. She just stared at the little girl's hand that was holding the big knife. She didn't expect that she didn't know how to use a fruit knife, but she was quite skilled in using the big knife. It was just that the way she raised the knife looked a little fierce and murderous. It was a little strange.
"Congratulations." Fu Qingye shook the wine glass in his hand, but his eyes were filled with sadness and pain. When he thought of himself, there was only pain, sadness, and despair.
Look!
They had been searching together for so many years, and he had finally found the person he was looking for.
As for him, he still didn't know whether his little sister was dead or alive.
Li Yuen saw that the young lady had already started to fill the fruit platter and would be back soon. He looked at Fu Qingye seriously and said, "Don't tell her."
Fu Qingye was puzzled. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "You've been looking for her for so many years. Why didn't you tell her when you found her?"
"Please." Li Yuen only spat out two words, which could be considered a request.
"Since you're begging me, I won't tell her." Fu Qingye naturally knew how desperate and painful it was to search for someone aimlessly all over the world. Naturally, she didn't doubt his feelings for Shen Xi.
He knew how it felt, so he knew how to judge others by his own standards.
As they spoke, Shen Xi came over with the fruit platter. Seeing that Fu Qingye was still drinking, she advised him, "Second Brother, stop drinking."
"Do you hate me?" Fu Qingye drank a little too much. Although he didn't say anything, he wanted to say something that was stuck in his heart.
The little girl didn't know anything before. Based on her intelligence, she should have figured everything out when she saw her mother today.
Shen Xi shook her head and said with a smile, "We're just making a deal to get what we need, aren't we?"
"Yes, yes." Fu Qingye said the two words in a row. The smile on his lips was bitter and self-deprecating. After drinking another glass of wine, the sourness in his chest was unbearable.
Shen Xi never asked about his sister unless he took the initiative to bring it up. However, his sister was also a pain to him, so naturally, he never talked about her.
Fu Qingye had a little too much to drink. Or rather, he just wanted to vent his emotions by drinking. After all, a rational and level-headed person like him would never allow himself to get drunk and lose his composure in front of others.
Shen Xi ate the fruit while listening to him talk about his sister. However, she didn't persuade him to stop drinking anymore. It was good to vent once in a while. Otherwise, it would be suffocating.
According to Fu Qingye, Fu Qingxi went missing in the hospital. Fu Qingxuan and Fu Qingxi were fraternal twins. However, Fu Qingxi could not compete with Fu Qingxuan in her mother's womb. Hence, Fu Qingxi's nutrition was taken away by Fu Qingxuan, resulting in a huge weight difference at birth.
Fu Qingxuan was twice the size and weight of her. She was severely malnourished and weak, so she was as small as an adult's fist.
Her body was too weak and she had been in an incubator since she was born.
"She was only this big." Fu Qingye stretched out his fist. His eyes were glistening with tears. When he thought about it, there was a smile on his lips. "At that time, she was about the size of Dad's fist. She was a little ball."
He was only three years old at that time and longed for a sister. When he saw how small his sister was, he hated his brother who took away her nutrients and caused her to be so weak.
Shen Xi didn't know what to say, but there was a lump in his throat. It was hard for him to remember it so clearly at such a young age.
"That day, when I went to the hospital after school, I rushed over to see her, but she was gone." Fu Qingye's voice was hoarse. "She was so small. No, she was ten days old. She was much bigger than when she was born. She was almost the size of two of my fists. She could leave the incubator for two hours a day."
Shen Xi listened to him quietly. She went missing ten days after she was born. She was so weak and small that she couldn't leave the incubator. If she was really taken away, what were the chances of her survival?
If she could think of it, so could the Fu family. However, she could understand why they still searched for her whereabouts for more than ten years.
Mr. Shen and Madam Yun were the same. There were some things that they knew were hopeless, but sometimes, no bad news was the best news for them.
Even if they knew the odds, they were unwilling to give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope. They had to keep searching.
"She was so small and weak." Fu Qingye laughed bitterly. Suddenly, he covered his face and buried his head in his hands.
Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, or perhaps it was because he simply wanted to vent the pain that had accumulated in his heart, but he cried without hesitation.
Shen Xi and Li Yuen just looked at him quietly. Neither of them said anything, and neither of them laughed at him.
Men didn't cry easily unless they were deeply hurt.
Shen Xi looked at him and felt a lump in his throat. His eyes were red. He had always been mature and steady. He became famous too early, so people often neglected his age.
In fact, he was only twenty years old.
