"What did you say?" Shen Shenxing stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his cloudy old eyes filled with shock and pain. His voice trembled so much that it was almost inaudible, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"Yunxi... Yunxi's disappearance, is it related to you... to you?" He trembled as he pointed a finger at Shen Wanqing, his breathing rapid, as if he might faint at any moment.

The scene of Yunxi's disappearance back then flashed repeatedly in his mind like a nightmare, and now he heard such shocking news that he could hardly bear it.

Upon seeing Shen Wanqing's reaction, Shen Yanting's face instantly darkened, a barely perceptible hint of worry flashing between his brows. He quickly signaled to Qin Suxin with his eyes to stabilize the situation, and Qin Suxin immediately understood.

"Wanqing, wake up!" Qin Suxin hugged Shen Wanqing tightly, saying with heartache, "Father, Wanqing was just scared when she heard that she was going to be taken to the Bai family, that's why she was talking nonsense!"

“Yes, Father, everyone knows that once a woman goes to the Bai family, she never comes back.” Shen Yanting stepped forward and whispered, “Father, please save Wanqing.”

Shen Yunxi watched the family of three perform in front of her with a half-smile. These three were quite clever, managing to get through the situation in just a few words.

"Yunxi, I'm so glad you're back." Shen Yanting paused, his tone pleading, "Could you, for the sake of Wanqing being your sister...?" He paused again, seemingly organizing his thoughts, "Could you, for the sake of our past relationship, persuade Grandpa? Don't let her be taken away by the Bai family."

"You guys are shameless!" Shen Ruoyu rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Back then, when you were plotting against my mother, did you ever think about whether you were family?"

"What?" Shen Shenxing couldn't believe what he was hearing. Was it Yunxi, whom they had plotted against? He carefully recalled the past, and his vision went black. He couldn't hold back any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing limply to the ground.

Shen Yunxi caught him quickly, and Shen Ruoyu hurriedly brought out a chair from the storage space for Shen Shenxing to lie down on.

Shen Ruoning deftly took out a glistening pill from her pocket and carefully fed it into Shen Shenxing's mouth. Her delicate hand gently rested on Shen Shenxing's pulse, carefully feeling its beat. The childishness of her past was gone from her exquisite face, replaced by a deep seriousness.

After a moment, she raised her head and said to Shen Yunxi in a solemn tone, "Mother, Grandfather's pulse is disordered and his blood is rushing upward. His condition is very bad. If he doesn't rest and recuperate properly, his life may be in danger."

At this moment, Shen Shenxing weakly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Yunxi, saying, "Yunxi, save her. Grandpa has something to ask her."

Bai Zhenting's eyes were filled with impatience: "Even if the Bai family head is dead, I will still take Shen Wanqing away today!"

Shen Yunxi exuded a chilling aura, her dark eyes seemingly frozen in ice as she stared directly at Bai Zhenting. Her fiery red dress fluttered in the wind, accentuating her tall, imposing figure, like a drawn sword, her presence overwhelming. Her lips parted slightly, her voice as cold as frost: "Get out!"

"Oh, you've got a temper!" Bai Zhenting wasn't intimidated. Instead, he licked his lips, his lewd gleam undisguised: "Now I've changed my mind. I want more than just Shen Wanqing; I want you, and these two children beside you."

His greedy gaze roamed over Shen Yunxi, Shen Ruoyu, and Shen Ruoning, as if he wanted to strip Shen Yunxi naked: "You woman, tsk tsk, so beautiful. I wonder what you'll look like under me. And these two children beside you, so delicate and cute. My eldest son will definitely love them!"
