Chapter 153 He Ruined My Mom's Life

a long time.

Sang Wan's sobbing gradually subsided.

She raised her head from his arms, and looked at him mistily with her peach blossom eyes washed by water.

The corners of the eyes are red and the tip of the nose is also red.

She looks delicate and pitiful.

She sniffed, her voice still thick with nasal sounds.

"Lu Tingzhou, thank you."

Lu Tingzhou's heart softened.

He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on her cheek with his fingertips.

"Little crybaby."

He chuckled at her.

Sang Wan felt a little embarrassed by his laughter and teased him, "Mr. Lu is quite superstitious. Are you sure you don't want to spend three lifetimes with me?"

Her voice was very soft, and the corners of her mouth were curved in a beautiful arc.

"You always guess what I'm thinking."

Lu Tingzhou's hand came to her lower abdomen and gently rubbed it, not daring to use any force.

Lu Tingzhou looked at her, his eyes moved slightly, and asked casually:

"If one day you find your biological father, would you like to recognize him?"

Sang Wan was stunned for a moment.

My brain, which had been a little dazed from crying, slowly started to work.

She mumbled in response, "Didn't we talk about this question...?"

"I haven't thought about admitting it, and I don't dwell on it."

Having him and grandpa is enough.

Lu Tingzhou stared into her eyes and asked again.

"If it has been found, I mean."

"Do you want to recognize it?"

His tone was serious, not like he was joking.

The beat of Sang Wan's heart began to get chaotic again.

She knew Lu Tingzhou too well.

He never does anything without confidence, and never says anything without discretion.

His question must not be groundless.

Sang Wan stared at him, and the expression on her face became more and more serious.

"Did you...find out something?"

Lu Tingzhou knew that he couldn't hide it from her.

In other words, he had no intention of hiding it from her from the beginning.

He held her hand and warmed her slightly cold fingertips with his body temperature.

"Um."

He responded in a deep voice.

"I found it."

Sang Wan's heart skipped a beat.

"I have indeed found your biological father."

The man's voice was as clear as a drum in the quiet bedroom.

He let go of her hand, stood up and walked towards the study.

Soon, he came back with a document bag and handed it to her.

Sang Wan's fingers trembled slightly.

She lowered her head, slowly opened the file bag, and pulled out a few sheets of paper.

At the top of the A4 paper are some bold black words.

"Paternity test report".

Her gaze slid downwards uncontrollably.

In the column for the name of the person being identified, she saw two familiar yet unfamiliar names.

Sang Wan.

Xiao Ansheng.

Xiao Ansheng?

Isn’t this... Xiao Yan’s father?

Sang Wan's mind was in a mess.

How could it be...

How could he be her biological father?

Her knuckles turned white from the force with which she pinched the paper, and she was completely stunned.

Lu Tingzhou sat down beside her, held her in his arms, and explained in a low voice.

"Do you remember the jade pendant you gave me?"

Sang Wan nodded stiffly.

"I checked its origins, and it was donated by Xiao Yan."

"Xiao Ansheng and my eldest brother Lu Tingyuan are old acquaintances."

"Back then, your mother Sang Jingchu was in Beijing, and my eldest brother was there too."

"There have been intersections between the three of them."

Lu Tingzhou's voice was steady, and he analyzed everything for her clearly and logically.

"So, I checked Xiao Ansheng with the idea of ​​giving it a try."

"I didn't expect it to be really him."

Lu Tingzhou looked at her red eyes from crying, still a little dazed, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He reached out his hand, pulled the pieces of paper that seemed light yet heavy as a thousand pounds from her trembling fingers, and threw them casually on the bedside table.

Then he held her stiff body in his arms.

"Don't worry, just go with the flow."

His voice was low, soft and soothing.

Sang Wan's body was still stiff, his eyes staring blankly ahead, without focus.

The three words "Xiao Ansheng" were all in my mind.

And that night in the Imperial Court, the man's complex and inquiring eyes.

It turns out that it was not an illusion.

Lu Tingzhou noticed her stiffness, and gently pressed his thin lips against her forehead, leaving a hot kiss.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The warm touch, like a warm current, brought Sang Wan back to his senses a little.

She blinked, her long eyelashes were covered with moisture, and her voice was dry.

"He... and my mother..."

"Um."

Lu Tingzhou responded and began to slowly tell the story of the dusty past.

"Back then, Xiao Ansheng and your mother Sang Jingchu met and fell in love in Beijing."

"But the Xiao family has already arranged a marriage for him with someone of equal status. Mr. Xiao disagreed, and his mother schemed against him."

Lu Tingzhou paused for a moment and pulled the quilt towards Sang Wan.

"Mr. Xiao has always been fighting against his family, but when he knew Yao Ping was pregnant, he was already dating your mother."

"It wasn't until later, when Yao Ping, eight months pregnant, came to your mother, that she found out..."

Sang Wan's heart was gripped tightly.

She could imagine.

She could even picture that clearly.

A woman immersed in love is happily enjoying the sweetness of love, when suddenly another woman comes to her with a pregnant belly, and she is the legitimate marriage partner of the other party.

What despair and humiliation that would be.

A good relationship suddenly turned into a third party that everyone despised.

Sang Wan's nails dug deep into her palms.

"Do you think he's right?"

Her voice was soft, but filled with cold questioning.

"He didn't take care of the family affairs, so he stayed with my mother."

"He made my mother bear the blame for no reason. Isn't he right?"

Lu Tingzhou was silent.

He rubbed her back gently, trying to calm her down.

"Wanwan, from my perspective, I can understand his situation at that time."

"With a family as powerful as the Xiao family, he has no control over his own affairs."

"He was also kept in the dark and schemed against by his own mother."

Lu Tingzhou's voice was very rational and objective.

But Sang Wan wouldn't listen.

She raised her head and looked at him stubbornly with her red peach eyes.

"I don't understand."

Her voice was not loud, but firm.

"You can understand, but I can't."

"It's my mother whose life was ruined."

"I can't easily accept that a man who ruined my mother's life would be my father."

Lu Tingzhou looked at the ice in her eyes and felt a slight pain in his heart.

He knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

She needs to figure this out on her own.

He sighed and pressed her back into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head.

"good."

His voice softened, with a hint of compromise.

"Just do what you want, don't be angry."

"If you don't want to recognize him, then don't."

"I looked for him just because I wanted someone to hold your hand at our wedding."

"Grandpa is getting better and better now. Having him is enough for me."

"Our wedding will take place as scheduled."

The man's words, like a tranquilizer, slowly injected into Sang Wan's confused heart.

yes.

She has Lu Tingzhou and her grandfather, that's enough.

As for that so-called father, what does it matter whether he sees him or not?

It's late at night.

Sang Wan lay in bed, but couldn't sleep at all.

She tossed and turned on the soft big bed, replaying Lu Tingzhou's words in her mind like a movie.

The man next to her noticed her movement, stretched out his long arms, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly.

"Can't sleep?"

"Yeah." Sang Wan responded sullenly.

Lu Tingzhou dug her little face out from under the quilt and let her rest her head on his arm.

"Still thinking?"

"It's a bit messy."

"Then don't think about it."

Lu Tingzhou's voice was particularly clear in the quiet night.

“Follow your heart.”

"If you want to meet him, let's go and see what he has to say."

"If I don't want to see you, it won't help even if the king of heaven comes."

"You have me as your guardian angel, so you don't have to be afraid of anything."

His words were both domineering and gentle.

Sang Wan's restless heart seemed to be gently stroked by a warm big hand, and all the irritability and entanglement were smoothed out bit by bit.

She huddled into his arms, finding a comfortable position.

The air in my nostrils was filled with his refreshing and pleasant scent.

"Lu Tingzhou."

"Um?"

"It's so kind of you."

Lu Tingzhou chuckled, his chest shaking slightly.

He placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Go to sleep."

Before long, the breathing of the little woman in his arms became even and long.

Lu Tingzhou held her soft body in his arms, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

He opened his eyes, looking at the hazy moonlight outside the window, a trace of regret flashed across his deep eyes.

He was too impatient.

Perhaps, Wanwan and Xiao Ansheng should be allowed to interact with each other more often.

Once she gets to know him better, she might be more receptive to the secret.

…

Xiao Ansheng stayed in Shenzhen for three full days.

He would ask his assistant to deliver various supplements and gifts every day, but he never got the chance to meet her.

The message from Lu Tingzhou was very clear: Sang Wan didn't want to see him.

On the day of the Little New Year, Xiao Ansheng boarded the plane back to Beijing with a heart full of regret and loss.

Some things cannot be rushed.

He thought he could wait.

At the same time, at the Royal Court Club.

Under the glittering crystal chandelier, Pei Huaizhi was diligently pulling out a chair for Su Mo.

"Momo, the steak here is very good, would you like to try it?"

This was the third time he had asked Su Mo out for dinner. Su Mo had refused him twice before, so it would be a bit unreasonable to refuse him again.

She wanted to make it clear to him that she was not familiar with Shen Yubai, so as not to delay his project.

The place for dinner was once again chosen to be the Royal Court.

Su Mo felt a little uncomfortable. She put down her bag and glanced at him indifferently.

"Pei Huaizhi, I know what you are thinking?"

The smile on Pei Huaizhi's face froze for a moment, then returned to normal.

"I...I'm thinking about how to pursue you."

"Chase me?" Su Mo sneered, "Do I have to come to the Imperial Court every time to pursue me?"

"I'm not as familiar with Chen Yubai as you think. I mentioned to him that I wanted to invite him to dinner and introduce you two, but he refused."

Pei Huaizhi's face looked a little embarrassed.

Su Mo never gave him a clear answer, nor did he help him make an appointment with Shen Yubai.

He was already anxious.

He even began to suspect whether Su Mo was deliberately keeping him hanging, and whether there was some shameful relationship between her and Shen Yubai.

Now after hearing what Su Mo said, I felt that I was indeed not genuine.

The reason why he was sitting here today was because he had found out that Shen Yubai was at the Royal Court tonight, having dinner with several company executives.

The thought of falling in love is far less important than climbing up the big tree of Shen Yubai.

Pei Huaizhi took a deep breath and put a smile on his face again.

"Momo, don't get me wrong, I just think the environment here is good."

"Since we're here, let's have a good meal."

As he spoke, he scanned the room.

Shen Yubai had just come out of the private room after talking to a few executives and was about to leave.

Then I saw Pei Huaizhi pulling Su Mo in.

He bumped into Shen Yubai head on.

Their eyes met.
