——This Shi Suyu actually bears some resemblance to the original protagonist’s mother, Du Ran.
Lu Sheng herself doesn’t look much like Du Ran and resembles Lu Chengye more.
Lu Chengye may not have many advantages, but he does have a good-looking face, and his genetic heritage in terms of appearance is quite strong; Lu Sheng and her five brothers all look a lot like him.
Lu Sheng doesn’t take after her own mother, but Shi Suyu’s facial features, especially her eyes and brows, are seven or eight points similar to her mother’s.
This made Lu Sheng frown slightly.
It’s common for some people in the world to look alike; many ordinary people might resemble celebrities.
However, Lu Sheng’s intuition has always been accurate.
A Beijing local who resembles Du Ran - could this Shi Suyu have some connection to her mother?
Thus, Lu Sheng paused in her actions and looked up at Lin Yi: "Big brother Lin Yi, may I ask you a question?"
"Hmm?" Seeing the serious expression on Lu Sheng’s face, Lin Yi straightened his posture and looked at her, "What question?"
Lu Sheng asked: "The Shi Suyu from just now, you said he’s a local from Beijing, do you know his parents’ names and who’s in his family?"
Hearing the young girl in the back seat suddenly bring up the man they had just met and even inquire about information regarding him—
Li Muchen, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn’t help but shift his gaze subtly but said nothing.
Lin Yi, completely unaware of why Lu Sheng was asking about Shi Suyu’s parents, still replied:
"You mean Shi Suyu? Don’t let his job as a police officer fool you, his family has quite the background."
Lin Yi asked Lu Sheng, "Do you know about the Shi Family in Beijing?"
Lu Sheng hesitated: "The Shi Family?"
"Yes, one of the most powerful and influential families in Beijing," Lin Yi said. "The Shi Family made their fortune in the pharmaceutical industry at the end of the last century. That Chenshi Pharmaceutical in China with a market value close to a hundred billion RMB belongs to the Shi Family."
"Speaking of which, Shi Suyu is indeed a bona fide rich second generation. I have truly never seen a child from a wealthy family who chose to become a criminal police officer. He’s different from those young masters and misses in the upper echelons of Beijing society; he’s someone who believes in justice."
Lin Yi continued, "I know Shi Suyu because my father is acquainted with his father. As for information about his parents and his family, I do know a bit, but not much."
"All I know is that his father, Shi Chengyun, is currently the Chairman of Chenshi Pharmaceutical. His eldest brother is a lawyer, and he has a younger brother studying at Beijing University. Their biological mother seems to have passed away more than twenty years ago."
"After his mother passed away, his father remarried another woman. They had a daughter who is now attending high school at Beijing First Middle School. They later had twin sons who are only ten years old now."
"As for other members of his family, I’m not sure."
...Shi Chengyun, that name sounds unfamiliar.
Lu Sheng asked, "Do you know what his deceased mother’s name was?"
"I really don’t know that, and it’s not something I can go around asking about," Lin Yi said.
Lin Yi added, "However, once when we were drinking, Suyu did mention his mother’s cause of death to me."
Lu Sheng was startled: "Cause of death? You mean..."
"Suyu’s mother died in an accident. According to him, his mother was killed by his own aunt," said Lin Yi.
Seeing the look of surprise on Lu Sheng’s face, Lin Yi continued, "I don’t know the specifics, but according to what he said that day, it seemed like over twenty years ago, one night, his aunt had an argument with his mother."
The gentlemen had already changed their clothes and were waiting outside.
When Lu Sheng and Lan Yu came out after changing into their swimsuits, Li Muchen’s gaze was fully fixed on Lu Sheng, and Han Jing could not take his eyes off Lan Yu.
Only Lin Yi didn’t know where to put his eyes and regretted it a bit.
Goodness, he thought it was a team-building retreat, but it turns out to be a double date hot springs trip?
Had he known this red-haired guy and little sister Lan Yu were a pair, he would absolutely not have come to be the third wheel—it makes him, a single dog, look so lonely!
This thermal spring resort offers both indoor and outdoor hot springs, but since it was a bit rainy on their way there, they could only soak in the indoor hot springs.
The indoor hot springs are divided into thematic pools, children’s pools, and functional pools.
The thematic pools include Matie Spring, Blue Lagoon, Iceland, Original Spring, etc. The children’s pools have a play pool and an overflow middle pool.
The functional pools have even more options, such as the High-temperature pool, Matcha Spring, Effervescent Spring, Beauty Pool, Stone Bath, Foot Spring, Vortex Pool, Boiling Pool...
Lin Yi was truly here just to soak in the hot springs and went to a pool he liked.
Lan Yu headed straight for the Beauty Pool, feeling that the name suited her, but it turned out Han Jing wanted to soak in that one too.
The two of them bickered and bantered beside it.
By the side, Lu Sheng seriously picked a pool, looking for one that could relieve stress the most, to let Li Muchen relax properly.
But at that moment, the man’s tall figure suddenly wrapped around from behind, his long and powerful arms encircling her slender waist.
His lips almost touching her fair neck, warm breaths spraying. His voice was huskier than usual, as though seeking her opinion, yet also tempting her.
"Baby... is it okay to go to a double pool just for the two of us?"
