Chapter 113

"If Sister Tang is going, then I will go too," Yuan Yuan said.

In the end, all three of them went.

The newly debuted junior apprentice was named Shen Yu. Coincidentally, he had the same surname as Shen Tang.

The group took a car to the hospital. Shen Yu was lying in bed looking listless.

Seeing them come in, his eyes lit up. "Sister Pei, Sister Tang! Why are you here?!"

Pei Kesong rolled her eyes in annoyance. "You've been bullied into the hospital, how could I not come?"

The reason she didn't come directly was because it wasn't too serious. He had only taken one sip before realizing something was wrong and went to the hospital to get his stomach pumped.

Plus she happened to be passing by Shen Tang's place, so there was no rush.

She sighed. "Did you call the police?"

Shen Yu nodded: "I called the police. They've already gone to investigate."

Shen Tang clicked her tongue. "Do you know who it was?"

"I don't know yet, but there are only two people who don't get along with me. I just don't know if they'll be able to find out."

Just then, Yuan Yuan suddenly said, "Hey? Your eyes look pretty similar!"

Hearing this, Pei Kesong looked at them both and nodded in agreement. "You're right, I didn't notice before, but they do look quite similar, and the ears too."

"We look alike?" Shen Tang looked left and right, then took out her phone and looked at it. Her heart skipped a beat and she jokingly said, "Hahaha, maybe we're no more than five generations apart!"

To be honest, covering the lower half of their faces, they did look quite similar. Shen Tang couldn't help but wonder if he was related to her birth parents.

But when she thought about it, that was unlikely. The world is so big, how could she just happen to meet him so easily?

Shen Yu furrowed his brows, lost in thought.

Pei Kesong said with a laugh, "What, do you really have a long lost sister?" Unexpectedly, Shen Yu nodded.

"I do have a long lost older sister. She's my aunt's daughter. She went missing not long after she was born. My family doesn't talk about it. I don't know the details either."

Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat. This reminded her of the grandmother she had met at the hospital who had mistaken her for someone else.

"Your aunt wouldn't happen to be called Xiu Xiu, would she?"

Shen Yu looked up sharply in disbelief. "How did you know? My aunt is called Shen Xiu. Don't tell me you really are—”

"No no no, don't get the wrong idea. I met an old lady in the hospital who called me Xiu Xiu..." Shen Tang briefly recounted what happened that day.

Shen Yu sighed. "If I'm not mistaken, that was my grandmother."

Pei Kesong stroked her chin. "I think Shen Tang might really be your sister. Do you have a photo of your aunt?" "No, but I can go back and look for one."

He started to get out of bed, but Shen Tang quickly pressed him back down. "Alright, don't move yet. There's no rush for this matter. Get better first."

Shen Yu grinned and said softly, "Actually it's not too serious, but I don't plan to take it lightly. I'm deliberately staying at the hospital for a few more days."

"Good boy, well done!" Shen Tang gave him a thumbs up.

Shen Yu rubbed his head. "No no, I learned it all from you!"

Shen Tang: "???"

Shen Yu looked at Pei Kesong, "I just joined the company and Sister Pei told me all about your heroic deeds. I decided to learn from you and become a tr—perfect person!"

"I heard that word you didn't finish saying." Shen Tang glared at him.

What was he going to say? Troublemaker? Sh*t stirrer?

She didn't want to know the answer. Either one was no good, it was just a matter of which was more vulgar.

Shen Yu gave an awkward laugh. "That's not important..."

Since he was fine, Shen Tang was going to head back and continue filming.

On the way back, she eagerly told Gu Huaian about it.

"I don't know if we're really related, but it would be great if we were. Then I wouldn't be alone in this world..." Shen Tang wanted to know who her birth parents were so badly. She had always wanted to know one thing: Was she abandoned or was it an accident?

She thought she would never know the answer in her lifetime, but things had taken an unexpected turn. However, Shen Tang didn't dare get her hopes up too high. The higher the hopes, the greater the disappointment.

The distress in Gu Huaian's eyes was about to spill over. "Don't worry, I'll investigate it for you."

"Thanks for your trouble then!" They could directly do a DNA test, but Shen Tang was a little afraid it would be a waste of effort. Also, showing up unannounced to claim kinship would be a bit inappropriate.

Besides, the elderly woman who was likely her grandmother probably couldn't handle the shock.

Anyway, she had waited this long, so a bit more time made no difference. She could afford to wait.

Now that there was a lead, investigating the past would be easier.

When Shen Tang returned, she only had one scene to film, but she NGed several times because her mind wandered.

The director really wanted to curse, but seeing how poor Shen Tang's complexion was, he was also a bit worried.

"If you're not feeling well, rest first. We can film this scene later."

Shen Tang pulled herself together. "Sorry, let me try again."

She couldn't let others take the fall for her mistakes.

NGing twice in a row was already very apologetic. She couldn't delay filming any further.

Her co-star was Qi Yue’s nephew, Tang Shuqing. He didn't really mind.

While the crew was preparing, he sidled up next to Shen Tang and softly asked, "Sister Tang, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. And how many times do I have tell you, don't call me Sister Tang. That makes us unequal. Call me Auntie."

Tang Shuqing: "......"

"Go on, call me."

"There's barely any age difference between us."

"You and Qi Yue don't have much of an age difference either. Your auntie and I are best friends. If you don't call me that, I'll tell her you bullied me."

Tang Shuqing: "......"

Left with no choice, he vaguely called out, "Auntie."

"Heehee~" Shen Tang nearly burst out laughing. She wasn't trying to take advantage of him, she just didn't want to seem older than Qi Yue.

The joking around helped restore Shen Tang to her usual self. She passed in one take.

Her scenes were done for the day, but Tang Shuqing still had more to film.

As she was leaving, Shen Tang lightly patted him on the shoulder, "Nephew, keep at it!"

Tang Shuqing sucked in a breath of air and rubbed his shoulder.

Watching Shen Tang bounce away, he was filled with confusion. Just how much strength did she use!
