Chapter 153: Absolute Guardian
“Qingye, don’t be sad.”
Fans in the auditorium shouted in unison following his reply.
“I hope you can watch this show and see me.” Fu Qingye softly smiled. His narrow eyes welled up as he continued. “I want to tell her to be happy no matter where she is. We will find her.”
There was not much going on with the man on stage but the fans off stage were bawling and yelling in raspy voices, “Qingye, you have us. You will find your sister.”
As Qingye’s loyal fans, they knew that Qingye first entered the entertainment world to find his sister.
His every effort to be the s.h.i.+niest superstar in the world was not for fame. Born into status and an influential family, he did not lack this.
Qingye’s intention was to be on a wider stage so that his sister could see him and know that they had never given up on her. They never stopped looking for her.
Hearing this, Shen Xi felt melancholic and had a lump in her throat. Looking at the difference between someone else’s brother and her, there was a reason why people should not compare themselves with each other.
However, she was not in a bad spot. She had Old Shen and Madam Yun, and only an awesome and handsome brother like him.
Shen Xi sincerely prayed that his sister could share the same fate as her – Even without the love of birth parents, a kind person could adopt her and love her like their own.
She prayed that Fu Qingye would soon find his sister and the whole family could be happily reunited.
After the talk show, Fu Qingye had another mini-interview.
Shen Xi returned backstage to pack up and leave.
She had just arrived backstage when she was stopped by Li Jingran. Acting all high and mighty, Li Jingran questioned her, “So you’re a fan of Fu Qingye’s?”
Without casting her a look, Shen Xi ignored her and walked past her.
Enraged by her att.i.tude, Li Jingran came in her way. “How much did you spend to get that seat? Do your impoverished adopted parents know that you use their hard-earned money to idolize stars?”
Shen Xi darted her a cold and mocking look.
“I’d advise you to pick up a good habit or two instead of idolizing stars when you have no money.” Li Jingran looked askance at her, appearing haughty and justified as an elder would while reprimanding the younger.
Shen Xi broke her silence and asked an unrelated question, “Have you had garlic today, Ms. Li?”
“What do you mean?” Standing in her way, Li Jingran turned solemn.
“You have a foul mouth and…” Shen Xi innocently gazed at her with a smile. “What does it have to do with you?”
“You…” Li Jingran could blow up there and then. “You uncouth little thing! I guess you learnt nothing about cla.s.s with those adopted parents of yours.”
Was that something a proper lady would say?
“Well, it’s better than you, who came in between a married couple and became a mistress. Not to mention, you abused and abandoned your own daughter.” Shen Xi’s vicious remark showed no mercy.
With rage draining her face, Li Jingran was unable to stop herself from raising her hand to Shen Xi and hissed through clenched teeth. “Shen Xi!”
Shen Xi curled her lips in disdain. Before she could fight back, she was held by the arm and softly but domineeringly pulled to someone’s back. That someone protected her like a guardian.
