Chapter 497: Si Fuqing Making Moves! A Great Show About To Unfold (1)
This declaration was made merely five minutes after Zuo Xianyu’s tweet.
The spectators, still engaged in their previous scandal, were suddenly confronted with a twist.
Following Si Fuqing’s rise to fame through “Survival 66 Days,” entertainment journalists and haters had thoroughly investigated her background.
She was known as an orphan picked up by old Master Zuo, who also introduced her to the entertainment industry.
However, after old Master Zuo’s demise, Si Fuqing and the Zuo family parted ways.
Once considered a lady of a wealthy family, she was now seen merely as an unfortunate orphan without parents.
With the recent incidents involving the Zuo family, some netizens speculated whether Si Fuqing was a jinx, abandoned by parents fearful of being overshadowed by her misfortune.
Unexpectedly, Si Fuqing discreetly acknowledged a relative.
And judging from the statement’s tone, Si Fuqing’s kin held her in high regard.
[??? Woah, Si Fuqing’s real family has been found?]
[I thought her parents abandoned her because she was a girl. But I bet Si
Fuqing was beautiful even as a child. If it were me, I’d treasure her like a gem.]
[I still remember the media in Lin City reporting old Master Zuo adopting Si
Fuqing, portraying her parents as deceased and her as destitute. The Lin City Charity Association even awarded old Master Zuo a banner. But here we have her real family. What charity are you speaking of???]
[So, they maliciously kidnapped someone else’s child, causing the family to search for over a decade? Disgusting, @ZuoXianyu, how dare you question Si Fuqing? Your family owes her over a decade of separation. Where do you get the nerve? Pretending to be noble, you’re trash!]
[I suspect the Zuo family indeed had a scheme, but my brain can’t quite piece it together.]
Zuo Xianyu had not anticipated that her usual tactic of waging a public opinion war online would be upended by Si Fuqing’s suddenly emerged family.
Her Weibo was inundated with criticism.
Having been pampered from a young age, she had never encountered such a situation.
Especially after losing her business acumen, she found herself struggling to make judgments and even to think clearly.
Faced with Ye Zhenmian’s declaration, Zuo Xianyu was at a loss for how to respond.
Her hands trembling, she dialed her grandmother’s number, “Grandma, Si Fuqing has family? Her aunt claims Grandpa kidnapped Si Fuqing, which is laughable. Who doesn’t know Grandpa found her on the street?”
Without old Master Zuo’s support, could Si Fuqing have survived until now?
“Impossible!” the elder Mrs. Zuo exclaimed in shock. “Your grandpa, your grandpa clearly said she had no family, was abandoned, and no one wanted her!”
“Where did her family come from? It’s impossible! If she had family, why would they abandon her…”
The elder Mrs. Zuo, not deeply versed in the study of lucky, understood that Si Fuqing’s singular fortune had significantly elevated the Zuo family’s status.
Even with her slowed cognition, Zuo Xianyu sensed the elder Mrs. Zuo’s panic, “Grandma, what happened? You must tell me, how can I proceed without knowing?”
Biting her lip, she decided to reveal her situation, “Grandma, my… my business talent is gone. Please, tell me everything.”
The elder Mrs. Zuo was not surprised by Zuo Xianyu’s admission but was deeply saddened, “To think it has come to this. After all, we raised her for so long. A little of her business talent wouldn’t have hurt her…”
The truth about Si Fuqing’s life before the age of five was unknown even to the old Master Zuo.
He had merely found her en route to Sijiu City, apparently having just escaped from somewhere, injured and with marks of ropes on her limbs.
The old Master Zuo hadn’t initially planned to get involved.
How he discovered he could harness Si Fuqing’s fortune for the Zuo family’s benefit, or what methods he used, was beyond the elder Mrs. Zuo.
“Grandma, what do you mean? How is my business talent related to Si Fuqing? Is she pitying me? What are you saying?!” Before Zuo Xianyu could inquire further, her office door was suddenly kicked open.
Elder Feng, accompanied by several shareholders, stormed in, all wearing grim expressions..
