After Huo Xiao left, Shen You and Shu Qing held hands and sat on the bamboo chair.

"I heard from the neighbors that the Shen family went to look for you." Shu Qing looked at Shen You with heartache.

"Your grandmother took good care of you. I didn't expect the Shen family to make you suffer," Shu Qing said and sighed.

Shen You shook her head and said, "Not really! We're just not used to each other!"

"Did your parents treat you badly?" Shu Qing asked softly.

Shen You hesitated for a moment, not knowing if she should tell the truth.

Shu Qing encouraged softly, "It's okay. If you have anything to say, tell Auntie Shu."

Shen You thought for a moment before nodding. "I don't understand. Since they think that Shen Jiao is their daughter, why did they bring me home?"

Shu Qing looked at Shen You, who was trying her best to hold back her tears. Her eyes were slightly red. "Child, don't feel wronged. There are many things that you don't know."

Shen You looked at Shu Qing. "Auntie Shu, did you know something?"

Shu Qing sighed and said, "Things are a little complicated. It's not something that you need to know."

"I heard from Huo Xiao that you've moved out of the Shen family. That's Good!" Shu Qing said briefly.

Shen You felt that Shu Qing had something to say, but she didn't say it out loud.

She knew that she couldn't urge her, but she also felt that it was uncomfortable to keep it in her heart this way.

Shen You thought for a while and said, "Auntie Shu, I'm actually not a child of the Shen family, right?"

Shu Qing looked at Shen You in surprise. "Why do you have such thoughts?"

Shen You hesitated for a moment before saying, "I always feel that Dad and Mom don't like me!"

"The way they look at me is very strange." Shen You lowered her head slightly.

She didn't care about the Shen family's attitude towards her now, nor did she care about their thoughts.

But in the end, it was still a family. Having such emotions made her feel very uncomfortable!

Shu Qing looked at Shen You with her heart aching. "Don't be afraid. The truth will reveal one day."

"You shouldn't be the one to bear these things!" Shu Qing patted Shen You's shoulder gently.

"The reason why I came to see you today was to see if you're doing well," Shu Qing said. "Come to Auntie's house when you have time."

Shen You had a feeling that Shu Qing's appearance was not as simple as she had said.

If she only wanted to see if she was doing well, why didn't she come to the Shen family directly to look for her? Why did she have to go through Huo Xiao instead?

Shen You had a feeling that something was not quite right.

But at the moment, she could not figure it out.

Shen You furrowed her brows in annoyance.

Shu Qing could see Shen You's emotions and said softly to Shen You, "Huo Xiao is a very good child."

"He heard about your life in the countryside, so he went there to look for people and things related to your childhood," Shu Qing said with a smile on her face.

"I can see that he cares about you very much," Shu Qing said sincerely.

"So... He's the one who found you?" Shen You asked curiously.

Shu Qing shook her head and said, "I found him."

"I wanted to see you, and he just happened to come to ask about you," Shu Qing said with a smile. "So I let him be the guide."

Shen You nodded in understanding.

"Then, Auntie Shu, are you still living over there? Can I go and see you?" Shen you grabbed Shu Qing's hand and asked.

After so many years, she didn't have any relatives. Auntie Shu was considered a very close person to her!

Shu Qing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay! I will wait for you at the old house over there!"

Shen You's face finally broke into a smile.

Huo Xiao stood in the bamboo garden and waited quietly, but his heart was perturbed.

He did not know what he did was right or wrong....
