Chapter 218 Token

In the capital city’s Shen family, in a magnificent old house.

Shen Zhenshan, the head of the Shen family, was sitting on the armchair in the study, looking solemn. He glanced back and forth at his two sons, Shen Mingxuan and Shen Minghui, and finally broke the silence:

"I finally got some news about your uncle Liu's orphan! Which of you two brothers will go and bring him back?"

Shen Mingxuan and Shen Minghui looked at each other, with a hint of hesitation in their eyes.

They naturally knew about the marriage contract that their father and Uncle Liu had arranged for the two children, and the task of picking up the person was not as simple as just bringing him back.

Seeing this, Shen Zhenshan snorted, "What? You all don't want to? Don't forget that your father's life was saved by your uncle Liu at the risk of his life!"

Shen Mingxuan looked up at his father and said, "Dad, it's not that I don't want to, but it's so sudden. I don't know what the woman looks like or what her personality is like. I..."

Shen Minghui's mind was moved. You know, after he traveled through time, he tried to find the connection with his wife Lin Yuxi, but he had no fiancée, no girlfriend, and no open or secret crush around him, so after searching for so long, he really felt that he had no idea where to start.

this time?

Could this sudden marriage partner be his wife, Lin Yuxi?

Thinking of this, he raised his head, looked at his father Shen Zhenshan and asked, "Dad, do you know the surname and name of this Liu family sister now? Does she have any special marks or tokens on her hand?"

Shen Zhenshan sighed and said, "This child was sent to an orphanage when he was born, so we don't know his specific name. However, your uncle Liu left behind a jade pendant, which was split into two. One half is with us, and the remaining half should be with the little girl."

Shen Minghui's heart moved. Although he was not sure that the orphan of the Liu family was Lin Yuxi, he decided to investigate. He took a deep breath and said, "Dad, I am willing to make this trip. But the marriage contract must be decided after meeting the person."

Shen Zhenshan nodded, a hint of relief in his eyes: "Okay, then I'll leave everything to you."

After Shen Minghui left the Shen family, he rushed to the orphanage where the Liu family's orphan was sent.

"Dean, could you please help me check which baby girls were sent in around this time period 20 years ago?" Shen Minghui asked anxiously.

The dean was wearing reading glasses and flipping through old files. After a while, he said, "Twenty years ago, there were two baby girls sent in during that period. One was named Lin Yuxi and the other was named Lu Yao."

When Shen Minghui heard the name Lin Yuxi, he was delighted. He found it!

However, he still followed the procedure, wrote down the two people's names, and then rushed to where they worked without stopping.

……

After some inquiries, he finally learned that Lin Yuxi had resigned half a month ago. Shen Minghui couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He had come a long way to see his wife, but he didn't expect that she was not there. He didn't know where she had gone.

He had no choice but to contact Lu Yao first, in order to find out about his wife's situation here.

When Lu Yao saw Shen Minghui, her heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, and her breathing became rapid. His handsome face, deep eyes, and slightly upturned lips all made Lu Yao feel amazed and obsessed.

She stood there blankly, unable to take her eyes off Shen Minghui for a moment, as if he was the only one left in the world.

She smoothed her hair nervously, trying to make herself look more perfect. Her voice was trembling with nervousness. "Hello, you...are looking for me?"

Shen Minghui smiled politely, but Lu Yao felt that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, which could dispel all the haze in her heart.

Oh my god, her prince charming appeared so soon?

God has really been kind to her!

Send such a top-notch man here!

Those long legs and those abs, suck it!

Shen Minghui smiled slightly and said politely: "Miss Lu, I am Shen Minghui from the Shen family. I came here to look for the orphan of my father's good friend."

A trace of confusion flashed across Lu Yao's eyes, but she quickly returned to normal, "Shen family? What does that have to do with me?"

Shen Minghui patiently explained: "Back then, my father and Uncle Liu were close friends. After Uncle Liu passed away unexpectedly, my father was very sad. Later, when he learned that Uncle Liu had an orphan, he asked around..."

"You mean, your Uncle Liu's daughter is carrying half of a jade pendant? Whoever has this is your Uncle Liu's daughter?" Lu Yao's voice sounded in disbelief.

“That’s roughly what it means!”

After hearing this, Lu Yao hesitated for a moment, then took out half of a jade pendant from her bosom, "This is what I have been wearing since I was a child. Do you think this is it?"

When Shen Minghui saw the half jade pendant, he was delighted, but also a little confused. Could it be that Lu Yao was the orphan of his father's good friend? But that's not right, shouldn't it be his wife Lin Yuxi?

"Ms. Lu, do you know Lin Yuxi?" Shen Minghui asked.

Lu Yao frowned, "Lin Yuxi? I ​​know her! We grew up together, she's my best friend, but she's already left."

Shen Minghui quickly asked: "Then do you know where she went?"

Lu Yao shook her head. "I don't know. She left very suddenly and didn't tell us."

Shen Minghui was full of doubts. Could it be that he was wrong? He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and decided to find out the truth of the matter first.

"Ms. Lu, do you mind if I take a look at your jade pendant?" Shen Minghui stretched out his hand and asked politely.

Lu Yao hesitated, but still handed the jade pendant to him. Shen Minghui looked at the jade pendant carefully and found a small "Liu" character engraved on it.

Shen Minghui took out the other half of the jade pendant from his arms and exchanged it with this half. Then with a click, the two halves of the jade pendant fit together perfectly.

A hint of joy flashed across Lu Yao's eyes. It worked! It really closed!

Shen Minghui frowned. This half of the jade pendant was actually the Liu family's token of trust. Could he have been wrong?

But Lu Yao in front of him is Yuxi's colleague, so she should have Yuxi's contact information. Maybe this is the bond between him and Yuxi?

Shen Minghui raised his head and looked at Lu Yao, "Thank you, Miss Lu, this is indeed the jade pendant from Uncle Liu's house! I will contact my father later and explain the situation. Miss Lu can wait for good news!"

"By the way, I wonder if Miss Lu could give me Lin Yuxi's contact information. I want to contact her in person. Is that possible?"
