A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 524 Shen Yuechuan’s Origin

Despite the hot sun in the afternoon, the wedding banquet went on in a lively atmosphere. Shen Yuechuan continued being Xiao Yunyun’s partner and enjoyed the games with a group of young people.

Su Yunjin sat under the parasol by the swimming pool, chatting with her old friends from City A, watching Xiao Yunyun and Shen Yuechuan with a smile all the while.

A few moments later, her cellphone rang; it was Mr. Zhou calling.

Mr. Zhou was the private detective Su Yunjin had hired to inquire into Shen Yuechuan’s family background. The other day he had told her about Shen Yuechuan’s adulthood experiences. However, she had wanted to know about Shen Yuechuan’s childhood experiences to check whether or not he was the one she had been looking for.

“Is he calling to tell me that he found out something?” Su Yunjin thought.

She immediately stood up and walked to a corner where no one was around to answer the call. “Hello?”

“Ms. Su, we found out the information about Shen Yuechuan’s childhood,” Mr. Zhou said, “Do you want me to send the documents to you right now?”

“Yes!” Su Yunjin said as she contained her excitement, “I’m at the Century Gardens Hotel. Tell the waiter that you’re coming to visit me. He’ll lead you to me.”

After hanging up, Su Yunjin told the waiter at the hotel gate about it. Then she asked for a room to wait for Mr. Zhou there.

The waiter led Mr. Zhou to her room after less than 40 minutes. Mr. Zhou handed Su Yunjin a thick packet. “We tried to find out the details about Shen Yuechuan’s childhood through a lot of channels but failed. We were able to find out all about it thanks to a recent loosening of Lu Enterprises’ management. It’s all here. Ms. Su, I’m sorry to have made you wait for so long.”

“That’s fast enough. I was too anxious.” Su Yunjin wrote a check to pay the rest of the fee. “Thank you. I’ll call you if I need you in the future.” With that, she motioned for the waiter to lead Mr. Zhou out.

Mr. Zhou knew that Su Yunjin couldn’t wait to know the information in the documents, so he decidedly turned around and left.

Only Su Yunjin was left in the suite.

The memories about her youth flashed in Su Yunjin’s mind like vivid scenes.

However, she could never go back to the past, and she had to face reality.

During Xiao Yunyun’s internship at the hospital, Su Yunjin had flown from Australia to America to find the whereabouts of her other child. However, she didn’t find out anything after visiting all the orphanages in the United States.

It seemed as if the child had never existed and was simply a figment of her imagination.

She met Shen Yuechuan while he was standing behind Xiao Yunyun at the airport, when she set foot in her homeland after decades of separation.

Su Yunjin had thought that she would never see that young and handsome face for the rest of her life. However, it appeared in front of her again while her face had already been marked by wrinkles.

“They look alike!” she thought to herself back then. She was almost 100% sure that Shen Yuechuan was the child she had been looking for.

She could scarcely restrain herself from rushing to Shen Yuechuan to inquire about his family background, and to ask him if he was the one she was looking for.

In the end, her reason prevailed over her emotions.

Many people looked alike in the world, so she had to find the evidence that Shen Yuechuan was the right person.

She finally had the evidence in her hands.

Su Yunjin hoped for Shen Yuechuan to be the one, because she was afraid that the child would collapse at any time.

However, she also hoped that Shen Yuechuan wasn’t the child, because she could tell that he and Xiao Yunyun had feelings for each other. She could imagine how Xiao Yunyun would suffer once she learned the truth.

She had suffered that kind of pain. Xiao Yunyun was her only daughter, and she didn’t want Xiao Yunyun to share her fate.

However, she had to face reality if Shen Yuechuan was the child.

Su Yunjin made up her mind. She opened the packet and emptied it to see the documents.

The details about Shen Yuechuan for the first 20 years of his life were all in the documents hundreds of pages long.

It said that Shen Yuechuan was taken to an orphanage by a kind-hearted passerby after he was abandoned when it was three months of age.

It also said that Shen Yuechuan was the naughtiest and the smartest among the kids in the orphanage. The staff there either loved or hated the little leader.

Shen Yuechuan was sent to a kindergarten near the orphanage when he was four years old. Every day he would return with his schoolbag filled up with all kinds of delicious snacks that he got from the little girls who liked him and shared the snacks with his peers in the orphanage.

It even said that Shen Yuechuan had his first kiss on his first day in kindergarten.

Upon seeing that, Su Yunjin couldn’t help laughing aloud. She continued to read the documents and finally saw the most crucial page.

She saw Shen Yuechuan’s birth date, the time when he was found by a passerby, and his belongings back then on that page.

The passerby found that there was only a note with Shen Yuechuan with his birth date on it. The note said that his mother was from City A, and there were a few words in English on it: “Kind man, could you please take this poor baby to an orphanage?”

Su Yunjin wrote those words on the note in her twenties.

Su Yunjin could tell from the note that Shen Yuechuan was the child she had been looking for, without even checking his DNA or blood type.

Su Yunjin felt a sharp pain, as if a thick drumstick had struck her heart. And then, what happened over 20 years in the past came to her mind...

The feelings of helplessness and misery overwhelmed her again.

Her nose twitched, and she began to weep.

There were many things in her life that she regretted. The greatest regret of her life was that she had abandoned the three-months-old Shen Yuechuan on the road.

She had always thought of the child over the past 20-plus years. She had thought of looking for him after she got through her misery. However, she thought that she wouldn’t be forgiven, so she delayed it until she lost her courage.

The previous year she received a call from the doctor who had been in charge of Shen Yuechuan’s father. She was told that Shen Yuechuan might share his father’s fate.

In other words, Shen Yuechuan might suffer what his father had suffered.

Xiao Yunyun, who adored Shen Yuechuan, might experience the pain and despair that Su Yunjin had experienced.

Su Yunjin could only wish she could live her life all over again.

If only she could do that, she would firmly stop Xiao Yunyun from learning medicine, so that Xiao Yunyun wouldn’t work as an exchange doctor in City A, and she wouldn’t have met Shen Yuechuan, either.

She would have gone to find Shen Yuechuan earlier. She would convince him to receive treatment as soon as possible to prevent him from sharing his father’s fate, even if he refused to call her mother.

However, it was too late to stop the tragedies that had occurred ever since the cogs of fate began to turn, even though she was rich and powerful.

Su Yunjin sobbed as she held the hundreds of pages to her chest...

Not long after, the guests who had attended the wedding banquet left one by one at sunset, with only a few relatives and friends, as well as the busy staff remaining in the hotel.

Xiao Yunyun looked all over the garden but didn’t find Su Yunjin. She went to Su Yicheng and asked, “Cousin, do you know where my mom is?”

Su Yicheng was there seeing his guests off. He looked at his watch and said, “I haven’t seen her since this afternoon.”

“Did she go back?” Xiao Yunyun said, “It’s impossible. She would have told either of us if she wants to leave.”

Just then, they saw Su Yunjin walk out of the hotel.

Su Yunjin had washed her face and made herself up again so that others couldn’t tell she had cried. She looked at Xiao Yunyun from a distance and called affectionately, “Yunyun, mom is here.”

Xiao Yunyun ran over and grinned at Su Yunjin. “I didn’t see you this afternoon. I thought you were back at the hotel.”

“I’m going back now.” Su Yunjin smiled. “What about you, are you staying or are you leaving with me?”

“Let’s go back.” Xiao Yunyun glanced at the empty hotel garden. “There’s nothing fun here.”

Luo Xiaoxi suddenly showed up. “Too many guests got drunk. I can’t arrange a driver for you now. Aunt, I’ll ask Yuechuan to drive you back. He’s more handsome than the others!”

Xiao Yunyun thought that Luo Xiaoxi did it on purpose, so she said, “Shen Yuechuan also drank!”

Luo Xiaoxi snorted. “We all know Yuechuan is a heavy drinker. His body has already digested the alcohol he drank at noon. He’s able to drive you back!”

Shen Yuechuan walked over to them, sober and calm. He said with a charming smile, “Auntie, let’s go. I’m familiar with the route. I can drive you to the hotel in a short time.”

He thought that he had to consider Su Yunjin, his prospective mother-in-law, as his mother since he had decided to woo Xiao Yunyun.

“In case I can’t win Xiao Yunyun’s heart, I can please her mother first. That will be a good start!”

Su Yunjin gazed at Shen Yuechuan’s face, which had only appeared in her mind and dreams in all those years.

She had wondered many times why there were life and death in the world, and why the cruel reality would separate lovers.

At the moment, she figured it out that she wasn’t always unlucky.

Mercifully, they had a child, although her beloved had passed away. The child that she had thought impossible to find had always been with her in another way.

Su Yunjin’s nose twitched again. She managed to smile while holding back her tears. “Okay, I have confidence in your driving skills. I’m too tired today. Let me treat you to something next time!”

Shen Yuechuan thought it was a good chance. “Okay!”

Her mother and Shen Yuechuan’s nice chat annoyed Xiao Yunyun. She yelled, “What about me?”

Su Yunjin said, “Who cares?” With that, she walked toward Shen Yuechuan’s car and got in.

Xiao Yunyun wanted to cry. “Mom, I wonder if Shen Yuechuan is your child!”
