I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 427

Everyone at the dining table was aware of the intimacy between Fu Chengyan and Shi Nuan. Ning Xin shot Fu Heng a meaningful look, and the latter responded with an understanding nod.

Fu Heng knew what was Fu Chengyan up to. He didn’t bring Shi Nuan back home as he didn’t have any bargaining chips to win Fu Zhengyun’s approval and trust. Now that Shi Nuan was pregnant, the gap between Fu Zhengyun and Shi Nuan was smaller, if not completely bridged. With everything going Fu Chengyan’s way so far, Fu Heng was sure that his nephew was now watching as the rest of his plans come true.

Still, Fu Heng was surprised at how quickly Fu Zhengyun had changed his views towards Shi Nuan.

After dinner, Shi Nuan accompanied Ning Xin upstairs and the latter took the expectant mother for a tour around the Fu Residence. Meanwhile, Fu Chengyan went out with Fu Heng for a walk.

In the Fu family, Fu Chengyan found his uncle Fu Heng the most approachable, and not his father Fu Sheng. Perhaps it was because the two of them had similar worldviews. Thus, Fu Chengyan would always come to Fu Heng if he needed advice.

“Tell me. What do you have on your mind now?”

Fu Heng knew Fu Chengyan well. He would only seek help from other people only if he could not solve his own problems himself.

Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes and followed Fu Heng to the west yard of the Fu Residence. There was plenty of space there, but most importantly, it didn’t have many visitors.

“Uncle Heng, how well do you know Shen Feng?”

“Shen Feng?”

Fu Heng was taken aback by Fu Chengyan’s sudden inquiry. He replied softly in his low voice, “Is it because of Shen Qianan?”

Fu Chengyan remained silent for a few seconds. Neither did he admit or deny his uncle’s question.

“I don’t really know Shen Feng well, but I have run into him a few times before in the capital because of Shengyuan. That man has a lot going on in his brain. I remember he lived a fulfilling life with his wife back then. She’s Shen Shixiu’s mother.”

Fu Heng paused for a while before he continued. He shook his head gently. “Shen Shixiu’s mother was quite a capable woman. She’s not a scheming person, but she was very bright.”

Fu Chengyan nodded gently. “I can imagine that.” He had a few encounters with Shen Shixiu before. “Then, what happened after that? How are they related to Shu Qing?”

“Shu Qing was a famous pop star back then. She became a hit at a very young age. But at the peak of her fame, she disappeared for a year. No one knew where she went, but there were rumors saying that she got pregnant. Back then, the media companies weren’t as advanced. No one had a clue about Shu Qing’s disappearance. A year later, she returned to the scene, but she was already replaced by new actresses then. She disappeared again, but this time, rumors had it that she went to C Country. She was doing pretty well there,” Fu Heng replied in detail. He then asked, “Why are you asking for her information, though?”

“Uncle Heng, aren’t you curious as to who’s Shen Qianan’s biological mother?”

Fu Heng’s eyes gaped wide. “I’m not very sure about that, but Shu Qing was indeed rumored to be in a relationship with Shen Feng back then. It caused quite an outburst, I remember. It was during that time Shen Shixiu’s mother grew distant from Shen Feng. Hmm, are you suggesting that Shu Qing is Shen Qianan’s biological mother?”

Fu Chengyan nodded. “It’s just a guess.”

Fu Heng remained silent for a beat. “I am not close to Shen Feng. However, your father is quite close to him. In fact, their friendship was the reason why your father tried so hard to ship you and Shen Qianan together. Okay, what else do you want to know?”

“Shu Qing only had a daughter?”

“I have no idea.” Fu Heng shook his head. “If you want to know more, I think you should hit your father up.”

“Understood.” Fu Chenyan kept mum for a moment before continuing, “Uncle Heng, do you have anything on Shu Qing’s background? “

“Huh, why are you asking me? Does she come from a complicated background?” Fu Heng responded with a question. He then raised his head abruptly. “You suspect there’s a connection between Shu Qing and Nuan?”

Fu Heng didn’t know what was the reason he brought Shi Nuan up. For some reason, Shi Nuan was always linked to Shu Qing and Shen Qianan in his head.

“You also think that Nuan is related to the Shen family?”

“We all know Nuan isn’t the biological daughter of Shi Jingzheng and Jiang Yu.” Fu Chengyan fidgeted with the button on his sleeve. He furrowed his brows slightly, “I have looked up Shu Qing before. There’s nothing on her. She’s a ball of mystery I can never untangle.”

“Is that why you look for me?”

Fu Heng then chuckled. “I didn’t think there’s something you cannot do. Alright, I’ll ask around for you. Shu Qing was so famous back then. There’s sure a lot of people who know something about her. I’ll let you know if I find anything on her!”

“Alright then. Thank you so much, Uncle Heng!”

Fu Heng waved his hand dismissively. “Bah, there’s no need to thank me! By the way, how did you manage to persuade the old man to bring Shi Nuan home? I must say, you have impressed me with that!” Fu Zhengyun was an obstinate and hot-headed man. Previously, he was trying his best to pry Shi Nuan away from Fu Chengyan. He even went so far as to conjure Shen Qianan out of nowhere.
