Chapter 40 Blocked Him

Lu Tingzhou's tall and straight figure was particularly eye-catching. In his arms, he was holding a little boy who was about three or four years old.

The child was wearing exquisite gentleman's clothes, and his profile was as delicate as a piece of jade. He was very cute and it was obvious that he was a spoiled child.

At this moment, the little boy was hugging Lu Tingzhou's neck and gave him a kiss on his handsome cheek.

A smile appeared on Lu Tingzhou's face, and his eyes were filled with unwavering doting.

Next to Lu Tingzhou stood a slim woman.

The woman was wearing a fashionable beige dress, with slightly curly long hair and a gentle temperament.

She raised her head slightly and looked at Lu Tingzhou, her voice so gentle that it could squeeze water out of her: "Tingzhou, Kaikai has been clamoring to see you since he woke up. I really couldn't persuade him, so I'm sorry to disturb your work."

After the woman finished speaking, she stretched out her slender fingers and dotingly pinched the little boy's chubby cheeks, her tone carrying a hint of feigned anger: "Kaikai, how many times has Mommy told you that we must be sensible and not do this again in the future, understand?"

The little boy pouted and retorted in a baby voice, "I just want to see Daddy! Daddy is much smarter than Mommy. He piled up such high blocks for me last night, and Mommy can't even do it!"

"dad"

"last night"

Every word was like a knife, stabbing into Sang Wan's heart.

She sent him a WeChat message last night, and he said he was busy and would call her when he was free.

But there has been no progress until now.

The "family of three" in front of me is very warm, but also very dazzling.

Sang Wan watched them walk side by side into the office door that symbolized Lu Tingzhou's private space, until the door closed gently with a "click", blocking her sight.

Sang Wan felt as if all the strength in his body was drained away in an instant. He felt completely exhausted. He staggered back a step, his back leaning heavily against the cold wall.

The afternoon tea paper bag in her hand fell to the polished marble floor with a "plop", and the exquisite snacks were scattered all over the floor, looking very messy, just like her current appearance.

She wanted to call Lu Tingzhou's name.

But something blocked my throat and I couldn't utter a single syllable.

Thinking of the woman's voice the night before and the noisy environment on the phone, it was not difficult for her to guess that she must be taking the mother and son out for a trip.

She wanted to ask Lu Tingzhou who that woman was and who that child was.

Ask him what those words he said to himself and those things he did mean to him?

But her whole body was stiff and she didn't even have the strength to take a step.

It turned out that he had a woman and even a child.

No wonder... no wonder Wang Sheng said those words in the first place.

"A man like Mr. Lu, do you think he would be short of women? He might even have a child abroad."

Wang Sheng's words echoed in her ears again and again like a spell.

It seems that Wang Sheng really knows something.

He was not just making this up, he just wanted to see her laugh, to see her, after being so proud, fall hard into the mud and be smashed to pieces!

Sang Wan's vision went dark and she felt so heartbroken that she almost suffocated.

When the elevator door opened, she walked in, holding onto the wall, her fingertips cold and trembling slightly.

Then what is she?

A lover to be hidden from public view? A toy to relieve loneliness?

She was flirting with him, and he just happened to be in a period of being single.

Tears burst out without warning, blurring her vision.

She wiped her face roughly, got out of the elevator, and stumbled out.

In the office.

Lu Tingzhou put Kaikai on the sofa, watched him jumping excitedly on the sofa, and smiled.

He reached out and pinched the little guy's soft cheek, his tone carrying a barely perceptible solemnity, "Kaikai, I'm not your father, you can't call me dad."

The little boy raised his head and looked at him with his bright black eyes.

"Uncle Lu, are you really not my father? Then where is my father?"

Song Xinran sniffed, her voice choked with sobs, "Tingzhou, I'm sorry. The child is young and naive. He's been a little bit crazy these past few days. I told him that he could see his father when he returned to China."

Lu Tingzhou's eyes darkened. Song Xinran's sudden return caught him off guard.

He didn't expect that she would suddenly resign and come back with the child.

The doctor also said that Kaikai's condition requires surgery as soon as possible.

In addition to the time difference, the little guy became excited at night and pestered him to play, leaving him no time to talk to Sang Wan.

But he didn't want Sang Wan to know about the existence of her and her son. Sang Wan was happy and content now, and he selfishly didn't want to create any more trouble.

Lu Tingzhou's voice was cold and gloomy. "I don't mean to blame you, it's just..."

"I know we've been a burden to you. I took Kaikai to see Sheng An this morning, but it was hard for me to tell him that his father is lying behind that stone tablet. I hope you won't blame the child."

Hearing her mention Sheng An, Lu Tingzhou looked away and said, "I'll ask Lin Hao to take you back. This is the company."

Song Xinran understood what he meant. She shouldn't have brought the child here.

Lin Hao received a call from Lu Tingzhou and knocked on the door.

"Send them back."

Although Song Xinran was unhappy, she achieved her goal.

Just now, she saw Sang Wan from the reflective wall.

It was worth it that she and her sister sent people to follow Sang Wan's car and rush to Lu's on time.

Although Lu Tingzhou was unhappy, he wouldn't do anything as long as his child was there.

When Lu Tingzhou walked them to the elevator door, he saw the cleaning lady sweeping the place. She was still mumbling, "Why are these good things just thrown away here? Young people nowadays are so wasteful."

Lu Tingzhou frowned and threw his afternoon tea at the elevator entrance, becoming more and more unruly.

After seeing off Song Xinran and her son, he sat in his office chair and pinched his brows.

They, mother and son, were his promise to Sheng An, and he would take good care of them for him.

Thinking about how I had neglected Sang Wan these past few days, I tried to call her. If she wasn't filming, I could hear her voice.

However, when I called, there was a dead tone and then the call was hung up.

Someone, confused, quickly opened WeChat and sent a message to Sang Wan: Are you busy?

As a result, the message sent was directly marked with a red exclamation mark.

He couldn’t send it out, he was blocked!

Realizing this, Lu Tingzhou was confused. What was going on?

Why did the girl who sent him messages last night suddenly block him today?

He picked up his coat and hurried out. Lin Hao knocked on the door and came in. "Mr. Lu, the meeting has been postponed for half an hour. Several bosses are waiting for you."

The man's expression turned completely cold.

conference room.

The air seemed to freeze.

Lu Tingzhou leaned back in the main seat, his fingertips tapping the table unconsciously, making a dull sound.

The company veterans sitting below looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first.

Lu Tingfeng winked at his confidant, who then boldly said, "Boss Lu, isn't the Engineering Department's budget a bit tight this year? Several projects are waiting for funding."

As someone fired the first shot, the others began to follow.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, the marketing department must also keep up with the promotion efforts, otherwise the performance pressure will be too great."

Lu Tingzhou didn't even raise his eyelids, he just felt a buzzing sound in his ears, as if countless flies were flying around.

These old guys are all as shrewd as ghosts, and it seems like they have made an appointment to come together to complain today.

There is no need to guess who is fanning the flames behind the scenes.

He touched his second brother Lu Tingfeng's cake and drastically reduced the funds of the money-burning department he was in charge of. Lu Tingfeng did not dare to challenge him openly, so he instigated these "old ministers" who survived on the interest chain to put pressure on him.

He didn't want to listen to their complaints, and his mind unconsciously thought that Sang Wan had blocked him.

This realization was more unbearable for him than any deficit on the financial statements.

Irritability was like a fire that started from the bottom of his heart and burned more and more fiercely.

"Are you done?" He finally opened his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife, sweeping across everyone present.

The conference room suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.

"Mr. Lu, we are doing this for the good of the company..." A slightly plump director tried to smooth things over.

Lu Tingzhou sneered and interrupted him: "Is it for the good of the company, or for your own pockets?"

His voice was not loud, but it was full of intimidation.

"You guys want to teach me how to do things?"

He stood up suddenly, put his hands on the conference table, leaned forward slightly, and swept his cold eyes over everyone.

"I reiterate, the budget has been finalized. If you feel you'll lose money in the future, or if it's not cost-effective, you can cash in your shares at any time. I, Lu Tingzhou, will take whatever you have!"

"If I hear any more dissatisfaction, or if someone is doing something behind my back..."

He paused, and glanced sinisterly in the direction of Lu Tingfeng, who lowered his eyes guiltily and didn't look at him.

"...I don't mind taking action myself and letting some people experience what a bloody sale is like!"

The words are resounding and as cold as ice.

The whole room was silent.

Lu Tingfeng gritted his teeth. The market downturn was real, but Lu Tingzhou's move was too harsh. His profit this year was bound to plummet.

But unfortunately, he didn't dare to confront Lu Tingzhou head-on at this moment.

If this gets to the old man's ears, he will definitely give me a good beating.

Lu Tingzhou looked at this group of "old foxes" who wilted in an instant, but his annoyance did not diminish at all.

He grabbed his coat from the back of the chair and said, "Dismissed!" without even turning his head.

Lin Hao had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he saw him come out, he immediately went to greet him.

"Mr. Lu, where are you going?"

"Film and Television City." Lu Tingzhou spat out three words, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

The car sped on the way to the film and television city.

Lu Tingzhou leaned back in the back seat, his brows furrowed.

Finally, I couldn't help it and called Luo Zheng.

"Director Luo, is Sang Wan on set today?"

On the other end of the phone, Luo Zheng's voice was a little surprised: "Sang Wan asked for leave today, saying that there was an emergency at home."

Have you asked for leave?

Lu Tingzhou's heart suddenly sank, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged up in an instant.

The two-hour drive felt like a century to him.

When he arrived at the villa, the housekeeping company was cleaning.

Seeing this, Lin Hao hurried forward and asked, "What are you doing?"

"This family moved away and hired us to clean up before they left."

Lu Tingzhou frowned and walked into the bedroom. The scent of Sang Wan's usual perfume still lingered in the bedroom. It was faint and almost imperceptible, but it was like a thin needle that pricked his heart and made him ache.

The nanny car originally arranged for her was also parked at the door, and the driver was nowhere to be seen.

Sang Wan, just disappeared from his world so easily?

Lu Tingzhou stood in the middle of the empty living room. Suddenly, the scattered snacks at the elevator entrance appeared in his mind, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Was that bought by Sang Wan?

She had been to the company and should have seen Song Xinran and Kaikai.

Lu Tingzhou secretly clenched his fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible.

The more I didn't want her to know, the more I was afraid she would misunderstand it, but she happened to catch me off guard and find out.

That little girl looks delicate and gentle on weekdays, but she is very stubborn at heart.

She must have misunderstood, otherwise she wouldn't be so decisive.

Lu Tingzhou felt like his heart was stuffed with cotton, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Seeing that his face was pale, Lin Hao called out softly, "Mr. Lu."

After a long while, Lu Tingzhou reacted and ordered in a deep voice, "Check the hotel to see where she is staying."

Lu Tingzhou sat down on the sofa, looking at the girl's photo on his phone, his fingers gently stroking the face engraved in his heart.

However, Sang Wan seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and no check-in records could be found.

Lin Hao looked at Lu Tingzhou's face, which was so gloomy that water could drip out of it, and didn't dare to breathe.

This time, Mr. Lu was really anxious.

…

The next morning, it was just dawn.

Lu Tingzhou's car was parked at the entrance of the film and television city.

He leaned against the car, a cigarette between his fingers, the scarlet flame flickering in the morning light, his eyes fixed on every vehicle entering the film and television city.

He hardly slept all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and there was blue stubble on his chin. His usually meticulous and dignified image now looked a little decadent.

Finally, Sang Wan's car drove over.

Lu Tingzhou's eyes flashed, he put out his cigarette, strode forward and stopped in front of the car.
