love me don't hide

Chapter 23 He can be strong in anything, only feelings he can't afford to lose (2)
The parents who missed her for more than ten years are still alive, but they don't want to recognize her.

No, this is unreasonable.

Her mother, Li Yuning, looks nothing like Shen's mother. Could it be that she is not Li Yuning's child at all?
That's not right, if she is not Li Yuning's daughter, how can she look so similar to Li Yuning?

What exactly is going on?

Li Hongye's mind suddenly became a little confused.

However, what is certain is that Ning Yuli is Shen's mother. She asked Jin Yasha to collect clues from herself, and then continued to create stories with her and Qu Jingxuan's names as the protagonists.What is her purpose in doing this?

Could it be to match her and Qu Jingxuan?From Jin Yasha's attitude, it seems that Shen's mother's wish can be judged intuitively - she hopes to be with Qu Jingxuan.

But Shen's mother and Li Yuning have different looks, which is a big problem.

In other words, Li Yuning is her and Shen Jiyang's biological mother, while Shen's father is their biological father.Or maybe the two of them are just Shen Jiyang's adoptive parents, and their parents have passed away long ago...

A series of unprovable questions made her thoughts confused.

No, she must know the truth.

"Ji Yang, does your father also have a rare blood type?" Li Hongye suddenly thought that if Shen Jiyang and Shen's father had the same blood type, then he could be sure that Shen's father was his biological father.

"Of course. Because our blood type is very rare, we will save blood every year to avoid insufficient blood in case of accident." Shen Jiyang's words confirmed the blood relationship between them except Shen's mother.

In this way, things will be easy to handle.

"Ji Yang, I want you to do me a favor."

"What's the matter?" Seeing her suddenly become so serious, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

"Fake engagement."

"What!" Shen Jiyang's eyes widened in astonishment, obviously unable to understand the significance of this matter.

After a moment of silence, Li Hongye said: "I want to reveal this secret that has been hidden for so many years, and my parents have to recognize me as a daughter."

"But……"

"Don't you want to recognize my sister?"

"Are you sure this method works?"

"of course."

"Okay, I promise you." Now that she is confirmed to be his younger sister, a brother should not refuse her request.

"Then follow my plan, and I may wrong you for a while."

Li Hongye took a deep breath, Mom and Dad, we will recognize each other soon.

Qu Jingxuan hadn't seen Li Hongye for several days. Recently, she was always mysterious and elusive.Before things got weird, he got a text from her—

"I have something to do these days, so I may not be able to accompany you."

Recently, many people said that they saw her and Shen Jiyang getting very close, and they were in pairs every day, as if they were deliberately showing off their sweetness.

This made Qu Jingxuan very uncomfortable, but she refused to answer when he called her.

After the misunderstanding last time, he will no longer easily suspect what she has with Shen Jiyang.But things have become more and more strange recently. Even going to and from school, she was picked up by Shen Jiyang. When she went to ask Zhong Xiaoyu, he also said that he didn't know anything.

This is already the fifth day that Li Hongye and Shen Jiyang went in and out together. In order to walk out of the school gate in full view, Shen Jiyang deliberately parked his car in the above-ground parking lot near the school gate.

"Does this trick work? It's been the fifth day, and there is still no movement." Shen Jiyang said softly while smiling.

"I've clearly released the news, so it's impossible for Grandpa not to do something?" Li Hongye had just finished speaking, when suddenly there was a sound of brakes.

While they were in a daze, several men in black jumped down from a black RV parked in front of them, separated them neatly, and then forced Li Hongye into the compartment.Fortunately, the wound on her arm has healed.And, tomorrow is Saturday.

"Who are you? Let her go!" Shen Jiyang was restrained by two men in black and couldn't move, he struggled and asked sharply.

Li Hongye struggled reluctantly: "Where are you taking me?"

"You'll know when we get there." After the man in black finished speaking, he pushed Li Hongye into the carriage, closed the door, and the RV drove away.

Shen Jiyang stood there in a daze for a long while before thinking of driving to chase him.When he finally caught up with the black RV, he found it parked in front of a hotel.He hurriedly stopped the car and ran into the lobby, but they were nowhere to be seen.

"Did you see a group of men in black bringing a girl in?" He asked the staff in the lobby who was carrying luggage for the guests in a panic.

The other party was taken aback by him, and said hesitantly: "I saw them go up to the top floor..."

After letting go of the staff's hand, Shen Jiyang quickly rushed into the elevator.

While the elevator was going up, he finally adjusted his mood. After waiting for five days, he finally arrived.

When the elevator reached the top floor, he took a deep breath, adjusted his clothes, and stepped out of the elevator.

The door of the presidential suite at the end of the corridor was open, and in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, stood a vigorous old man with a neat suit, gray hair neatly combed back, and a kingly arrogance between his brows.

Shen Jiyang walked into the presidential suite with his head held high, his gaze swept away, and finally fell on Li Hongye, who was forcibly pressed on the sofa.

"Hongye, are you alright?" He hurried towards her, but was suddenly blocked by a crutch.

Following the direction of the crutches, Shen Jiyang saw a pair of sharp eyes tightly locked on his body.

"Hongye, you sneaked back to China and refused to return to the United States because of him?" Li Zhenghong narrowed his eyes, looked Shen Jiyang up and down, and then sneered, "What's so good about this kid that he actually made you like this?" How dare you disobey my orders?"

"My advantage is that I put her first. As long as it is what she wants, I will do my best to satisfy her. This is completely different from what your old man did to her. What she needs is someone who loves her person, not one who controls her."

Shen Jiyang gently lifted Li Zhenghong's crutches away, then walked quickly to Li Hongye, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Li Hongye pursed her lips and shook her head silently.

"It's quite courageous." Li Zhenghong slammed his crutches on the ground, and there was a chill in the room, and the expressions on everyone's faces froze, "I'll just see what you have." As soon as the words fell, the men in black who were standing by the door received his winks, and they all surrounded Shen Jiyang in the middle.

"Grandpa, what are you going to do?" Li Hongye was nervous for a while. Although these things were arranged by her, she didn't want Shen Jiyang to get hurt.

So she struggled to get up, but was firmly pressed on the sofa by two men in black on the left and right.

The men in black who surrounded Shen Jiyang were all specially trained bodyguards. Even Shen Jiyang had learned a few tricks of self-defense, but when it came to fighting, he was not an opponent at all.

"Boy, if you beg me for mercy, I might tell them to stop." Li Zhenghong stood in front of Shen Jiyang with a proud smile on his lips.

Shen Jiyang looked up at him, and gave him a look of disdain, and then he was punched on the cheekbone by the bodyguard in black, and fell to the ground immediately.

"Enough!" Li Hongye shouted sharply, "Grandpa, I'm not your pet. I have my own ideas. If you force me in this way, even if I go back, I will run away again!"

Li Zhenghong paused, squinting his eyes and glanced at her suspiciously: "Who said I treat you as a pet? I've put so much effort into raising you to be so good, why do you say that?"

Li Hongye turned her head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "If you hadn't insisted on going your own way, my mother would not have eloped with others, and she would not have died! You forced my parents to death, then adopted me as an orphan, and then treated my mother with you. Don't you be afraid that I will end up like a mother? You have never given me the love that an elder should have. You just want to train me to be a qualified heir that you think is selfish. But now I tell you clearly that I don't care about your properties, I just want to be with the person I like and live my own life."

Her eyes subconsciously moved to Shen Jiyang, and her eyes suddenly became gentle, but when she moved back to Li Zhenghong, they were indifferent.

Looking at Li Hongye's eyes at this moment, Li Zhenghong seemed to have returned to that afternoon many years ago, when Li Yuning sharply accused him of being domineering, and then slammed the door with his luggage and left.That was the last time he saw his daughter. He thought she was just throwing a temper tantrum and would come back to admit her mistake in two days, but he was wrong. She never looked back until she died.

When he received the news of her death, he hurried back to China, only to see a cold tombstone in the end.

At that moment, he really regretted it, regretting that his stubbornness caused him to part with his daughter.

But when he knew that his granddaughter Li Hongye survived the car accident, the domineering factor in his heart rose again, and he wanted to cultivate a second Li Yuning.He put all his expectations of his daughter on his granddaughter, but he didn't expect that she, who was as stubborn as his mother, would run away from him as an adult.

He was really angry, why did they betray him again and again, and treat his painstaking efforts as nothing!
So this time when he returns to the country, he must take Li Hongye back, and never allow what happened to Li Yuning to happen again, he can no longer bear the pain of losing his loved ones again.

"You really want to be with him that much?" Li Zhenghong calmed down, took a deep breath, and looked at Li Hongye seriously. This was the first time he spoke to her calmly, not an order, but a question.

Li Hongye met his gaze without fear, and nodded coldly and firmly.

"Boy, are you sincere to her?" Li Zhenghong lifted Shen Jiyang's chin with his crutches again, and forced his scarred face to face him at an angle. The chilling aura forced him to have no way out, " I promise you to be together, if you dare to be sorry to my granddaughter, I will definitely make you regret it."

The bodyguard in black let go of the restraint, and Li Hongye flew towards Shen Jiyang, lifted him up from the ground, gave him a wink at the success of the plan, and then got into his arms pretending to be happy: "That's great!" , Grandpa agreed."

After finishing speaking, she raised her head and looked at Li Zhenghong: "Thank you, Grandpa."

"I'll let the people below prepare now, and you will get engaged tomorrow. In order to prevent you from escaping, stay here obediently today and don't go anywhere." Li Zhenghong said, slowly walking out of the presidential suite on crutches .

The man in black followed behind him and closed the door of the room smoothly.

"How can this work? At least we have to notify our family members of our engagement! Open the door, open the door!" The moment the door closed, Shen Jiyang flew up and knocked on the door of the presidential suite, but there was no movement outside the door, and they were locked in the room , After knocking about ten times, he put down his hand and turned his wrist, "This task is really laborious."

Li Hongye stepped forward, glanced at the wound on his face, and said apologetically, "Thank you for your hard work."

"I hope the plan goes well." Shen Jiyang waved his fist, "You can't be beaten in vain."

"I'm going to send a text message to Jingxuan." When Li Hongye said this, his face was full of smiles.

At this moment, Qu Jingxuan had just driven out of school, and when he received the text message, he subconsciously glanced at it.Seeing that it was from Li Hongye, he stopped the car and prepared to read the content first.

The content of the information is——

"I was forced to get engaged to Shen Jiyang tomorrow. I hope you will find the church where our engagement ceremony is held at ten o'clock tomorrow morning and take me away. Reminder: the old place."

Qu Jingxuan was taken aback, and hurriedly dialed Li Hongye's number, but what he heard was a busy tone.

old place……

He slammed on the gas pedal.

After rushing to the "old place", he opened the door abruptly, and as soon as he saw William, he asked, "William, do we have anything related to the church in our store?" There are too many strange things, each of which is collected by Pei Jia from all over the world, some of which even he does not know the origin of, so this reminder is too general.

"Does this count?" William took a photo of himself and Pei Jia from the shelf behind him.

"Where is this?" Qu Jingxuan rushed to him in a hurry.

"The Church of the Stars is in the southern outskirts of the city." William looked at Qu Jingxuan blankly, as if he didn't understand what his purpose was for asking these things.

"Has Hongye seen this photo?" Although there is a church in this photo, it doesn't mean that Li Hongye is reminding of this place, so he must be sure that she has seen this photo.

"Yes, she asked me where the church was at the beginning, saying it was beautiful, and she wanted to take pictures next time."

"Thank you." Qu Jingxuan immediately took out his mobile phone to take a picture of that photo, and then drove to look for it.

When he found the Church of the Stars, it was late at night and the door of the church was locked. He was sitting in the car, quietly looking at the door of the church through the windshield.

The night was quiet and silent, with a faint mist in the air.He blinked tiredly, and suddenly relaxed from a state of high tension, and only now did he feel extremely sleepy.The eyelashes fluttered, and the eyes were as misty as the fog outside the window.

"Li Hongye, tomorrow, I will definitely take you out of the church. I hope that next time, the person who walks here with you will be me, Qu Jingxuan..."

His voice gradually weakened, he slowly closed his heavy eyelids, and fell asleep soundly with anticipation for the next day.
