Chapter 567 - Don’t You Touch My Mom!


Chapter 567: Don’t You Touch My Mom!

Feeling a rush in his blood, Jin Yu had not had the chance to ask if they had met when the beautiful woman came running his way. Before he could react, she crashed heavily into his arms.

Jin Yu felt the world was spinning before a dull pain in his chest left him gasping for air. The woman’s tears scorched his heart.

She was crying and shaking.

For a lady he met for the first time, it was only right to push her away instead of allowing her to charge at him and embrace him.

However, Jin Yu found himself weak and vulnerable. The longingness, heartache, guilt, and self-blame were engulfing him.

He knew her.

That was for sure.

The feeling seemed bred in the bone. Despite the change in appearance or the passing of time, this feeling would not lie.

“Hubby.” There was nothing more Shangguan Yanqiu could say as she got Jin Yu in a death grip. Tears ceaselessly ran down her face.

He was real.

He was not an illusion or a dream.

The man was an existence she could see and touch.

Jin Yu froze. His arm ready to push her away suspended awkwardly in the air as the utterance of “Hubby” sent a familiar quiver over him and a catch in his throat.

He gazed at her in a daze, afraid to ask who she was in case it would cause her grief and agony.

She was his wife.

He was certain she was the person that appeared countless times in his dreams. There were too many times he had witnessed her blurry figure suffering in heartbreak and pain.

Every single time when that happened, he would wish he could remain in his dreams and give his heart to her.

Shen Xi was utterly dumbstruck.

Fu Qingxuan had broken down in tears as he blankly watched the pair in the opposite direction.

Kun Lun went to open the door. He was wondering why Mr. Jin Yu did not use the thumbprint access and pressed on the doorbell instead after returning from taking out the trash. He was stunned by the scene happening on the other side of the door.

What was going on?

Who was the woman in Mr. Jin Yu’s arms?

Why would a virtuous and gentleman like Mr. Jin Yu let a woman cry in his embrace?

He instinctively turned to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi said nothing and gave him the gesture to shush.

Li Yuan caught a glimpse of his fair lady the moment the door opened. Since Shen Xi stood there without coming in, he wheeled himself out.

Cuddled on his lap, Toffeecito’s eyes lit up at the sight of Shen Xi. It jumped off and ran towards Shen Xi, meowing for attention.

“Xixi.” Li Yuan remained rational in all of this. He pushed himself to Shen Xi and gave her an inquiring look.

Shen Xi got down on one knee. Unable to hide her happiness and excitement for Uncle Jin Yu and the Fu family, she uttered, “Brother, the family that Mr. Jin Yu has been looking for is the Fu family. He is Fu Qingxuan’s dad.”

Others may get it wrong, even Qingxuan failed to recognize him.

Nevertheless, Shen Xi believed Madam Fu would not. This was the man she loved with all her heart, the man with whom she bore children. She could tell it was him despite all the changes.

It was the same for Shen Xi. She was sure she could pick Li Yuan out of a crowd regardless of the flow of time and change in appearance.

Li Yuan was taken aback. “Isn’t the head of the Fu household no longer here?”

Since he had a history and displeasure of dealing with the Fu family, he knew the head of the Fu household, Fu Handing, had passed away more than a decade ago.

The Fu family had been looking for their missing daughter.

Maybe the head of the household was not dead, and like their youngest heir, he was missing as well. If that was the case, the Fu family had kept this piece of information away from the public.

“I’m not too sure myself.” Shen Xi’s voice was hoarse and her eyes swollen. With her heart feeling full, she could not help but cry.

Madam Fu only mentioned Mr. Fu was missing and they had been trying to locate him. The reason for his disappearance remained a secret held by the Fu family. It was no surprise they were not informed.

On the opposite, Jin Yu was heard exclaiming in a worried and tense voice, “Madam.”

The woman in his arms went limp and passed out. Overwhelmed with heartache, he carried her without hesitation and looked at Shen Xi. “Xixi, hurry here and take a look.”

Both Shen Xi and Fu Qingxuan appeared in tune as they bore the same expressions and motions while coming forth.

Shen Xi went to check on Shangguan Yanqiu.

Fu Qingxuan, on the other hand, got all riled up as he darted Jin Yu a dirty look before snatching Shangguan Yanqiu back. While carrying her away, Fu Qingxuan spoke in a chilling voice, “Don’t you touch my mom!”

Shen Xi, “…”

The young master had lost his mind. Had he not been looking for his father? What was with his attitude now?

Jin Yu went in pursuit despite being at a loss of what to do. His heart sank to the pit of his stomach, allowing guilt and self-blame to take over when he met Fu Qingxuan’s begrudging eyes.

With Shangguan Yanqiu in his arms, Fu Qingxuan went straight to Shen Xi’s house.

There was no one home, not even Granny Yu. The door was locked.

Shen Xi rushed to open the door and turn on the light for him as he placed Shangguan Yanqiu on the bed to examine her. Not knowing what to say, Shen Xi watched on anxiously.

She had already checked on Shangguan Yanqiu’s pulse and the latter seemed to be fine. Shangguan Yanqiu lost consciousness because her weak body was unable to withstand the rollercoaster of emotions.

Jin Yu and Li Yuan had made their way over.

Standing at the door, Jin Yu intended to step inside.

Like a wounded little animal, Fu Qingxuan was more bark than bite as he eyed Jin Yu down. Every time Jin Yu drew close, he would glare and threaten, “Don’t come over here!”

The man gave them a hard time looking for him over the years.

Did he know what Mom had gone through in the past few years?

Good for him. He lost his memory and forgot everything!

Out of ideas, Jin Yu sought help from Shen Xi. He could not remember anything. Fu Qingxuan had all the reasons to hate and resent him. There was no talking his way out of it.
