Xu Mengyu reacted very quickly. After hanging up the phone, she looked at Zheng Tianming and said, "Go to Hu Xiaohui's place and bring me my documents. She's waiting for you at the company."

"Okay." Zheng Tianming thought it really was Hu Xiaohui calling, since the caller seemed to have a detailed description, including names and locations.

Xu Sichen held Li Mirui in his arms. What did he just hear as a stomach? Did he hear wrong?

As soon as Zheng Tianming arrived at the parking lot, he received a text message from Xu Mengyu, asking him to pick up Xu Lu from school because he had an upset stomach.

Xu Lu clutched his stomach, resting his chin on the table. He had only been at school for a short time when he started having diarrhea. He had eaten barbecue last night, so it shouldn't be the cause.

The teacher from the infirmary had arrived, but she didn't dare give Xu Lu any medicine. The teacher had warm water in her hand; they had already called 120 and the ambulance was on its way.

When Zheng Tianming arrived, Xu Lu had already been taken to the hospital.

Xu Mengyu was somewhat absent-minded. Her son was not feeling well, and she had no mood to talk, let alone go shopping.

"If you're busy, don't follow us. You're just getting in the way," Li Mirui said, playing with Xu Sichen's arm.

Xu Sichen enjoys spending time alone with Li Mirui.

Xu Mengyu sighed: "This trivial matter is going on and on. I'll head back to the company now."

"If it really doesn't work, just say so." Xu Sichen looked at Xu Mengyu, who still needed to work on her problem-solving skills; it had taken so long to handle such a small matter.

Xu Mengyu nodded: "Don't worry, I'll go now." She was a little anxious; Xu Lu had been sent to the hospital, and she didn't know what was wrong.

Xu Sichen squinted and looked down at Li Milui: "Don't you think Mengyu is hiding something from us?"

"I don't think so. The child is old enough to have some privacy, right?" Li Mirui thought to herself, I'm not lying. She really does keep things from us, except for you.

Since Li Milui had said that, Xu Sichen didn't think too much about it; he trusted her completely.

Xu Lu's gastroenteritis has relapsed. She just had a gastroscopy and is now lying in bed feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Zheng Tianming sat beside her, holding Xu Lu's small hand. He was receiving an IV drip, and the doctor said it was best to avoid greasy and stomach-damaging foods during this period.

"My mom's coming later, so please don't say anything out of the ordinary," Xu Lu worried, as her parents' relationship had finally improved.

Zheng Tianming pinched Xu Lu's cheek: "If you feel unwell, just take a nap and don't worry about it." Such a young child, yet she thinks so much.

Xu Mengyu arrived at the hospital wearing a mask. She knew there was a risk of being recognized, but she was worried about how she could suddenly develop gastroenteritis.

She usually pays extra attention to Xu Lu's diet, but she didn't notice it last night, and it turned out like this.

Zheng Tianming looked up after hearing the door open.

Xu Mengyu walked to the bedside, and seeing Xu Lu's pale face and the pillow buried in his hands, her expression immediately darkened: "What did you feed him yesterday?"

"Barbecue." Zheng Tianming wasn't lying.

Xu Lu was exasperated. He said, "Isn't eating rice enough? My mother isn't going to rummage through the trash."

He understands that white lies can sometimes be beneficial to family harmony, so why doesn't Uncle Zheng understand?

Xu Mengyu shoved Zheng Tianming hard: "If you can't take care of the child, then don't make things worse! Barbecue is all oil and charcoal, he's never even eaten it before, don't you think about that?"

Zheng Tianming indeed had no experience in this area. When he was a child, his father and elders often took him to barbecue restaurants.

Xu Lu looked at her with teary eyes and said, "Mom, I wanted to eat it myself. I ordered it before Uncle Zheng came back."

Zheng Tianming stood up and offered his chair to Xu Mengyu. When his temper flared up, he wouldn't even wait for her to finish speaking.

Xu Mengyu originally wanted to scold Xu Lu, but seeing his pitiful look and tears streaming down his face, she sighed and said, "Don't eat random things in the future."

Zheng Tianming poured Xu Mengyu a glass of water: "You're here. Didn't Uncle Xu suspect anything?"

"My mom's here." Xu Mengyu took the water and looked at Zheng Tianming. That's just how she is; being around her means you can only be a punching bag.

She won't compromise herself; if it works, great; if not, forget it. She has the means to live a good life even without a man.

Zheng Tianming patted Xu Mengyu's head: "Look how scared you've made the child. If she doesn't eat anymore, then it's all over."

Xu Lu wasn't afraid of being caught eating barbecue, but rather that their relationship was strained and the family he had finally built would fall apart.

He lives in constant fear and has no sense of security whatsoever.

“Even adults can’t handle a gastroscopy, let alone a child. I’m both angry and heartbroken.” Xu Mengyu said, handing the cup to Zheng Tianming.

Zheng Tianming lowered his head and kissed Xu Mengyu on the cheek. Was his attempt to push her away in vain?

Xu Mengyu glared at Zheng Tianming. He didn't know how to restrain himself in front of the child and was acting like a hooligan.

Xu Lu's eyes were still brimming with tears when she suddenly burst out laughing upon seeing this. As a result, she pulled on the needle in her hand, wincing in pain.

"The doctor said it's best to observe for a day before discharge," Zheng Tianming said, then walked to the sofa and sat down.

Xu Mengyu looked troubled: "How am I supposed to make up a lie? If you don't go back, my dad will definitely ask."

"Just tell them you've sent me to investigate something. You're going to release the hotel video tomorrow, so this is perfect." Zheng Tianming said, then lay down on the sofa. He hadn't slept well the night before.

Xu Mengyu didn't want to, but she had no other choice at the moment.

Xu Lu's identity will be revealed sooner or later; I just hope my father won't be too angry.

Xu Lu felt better and fell asleep soon after. With his parents by his side, he felt like the happiest child he had ever been.

In the past, when he was sick, only the housekeeper and maid were there to take care of him. His mother cared, but she couldn't leave so many people in the film crew to come back and be with him.

I hope this happiness can last a little longer.

Zheng Tianming also fell asleep.

Xu Mengyu took off her coat and covered Zheng Tianming with it. She sat in the chair and looked at the information sent by Hu Xiaohui.

Shen Mei went crazy, revealing a lot of things in her video. I heard that quite a few people have already settled things privately with money, otherwise no one can be sure what she would say during the live stream.

For example, someone may have clearly contracted a disease, even without mentioning their name, but the symptoms are already quite obvious.

There are also male celebrities who don't have children because they are intersex and can't have children at all; it's not because they love their wives.

Xu Mengyu's past has been exposed, but the studio has already reported the matter to the police.

“...”

Shen Mei lay on the bed. She had originally wanted to open a studio and make more money with her signed artists, but Xu Mengyu had ruined everything.

As an agent, she knows this industry too well. She's completely finished. Even third-tier celebrities don't dare to work with her anymore.

She can't even move behind the scenes.

The money in her hands was seized by the brothers' wives, including the house and car. She had little money left, so she could only make money by exposing scandals.

Only with money can she have a chance to turn her life around.

Sometimes she was really jealous of Xu Mengyu. Even in her current situation, she was only able to keep getting away with this because she had money.

Her phone, which was lying on her pillow, rang. It was Shen Yunxi's agent calling, asking if she wanted to work with her.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The two agreed to meet at a coffee shop in the afternoon.

Even if she dies, she'll drag Xu Mengyu down with her. She's followed her for so many years, just wanting to sign an artist, but Xu Mengyu rejected her in public. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't be in this situation today.

Sometimes you don't even know what action you might take that could offend someone.

She'll hold a grudge against you for life, and you won't even have a chance to reason with her...

Xu Mengyu left the hospital after dark. When she got home, she found that Xu Sichen had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her to come back and eat together.

"Where's Tianming? Why didn't he come back with you?" Xu Sichen went into the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.

Li Mirui ate dried longan and asked, "What do you want him to do?" Then she stood up.

Xu Mengyu is still young, and if she is constantly being watched, she will definitely be exposed. However, after Li Mirui spoke, Xu Sichen's gaze fell on her.

"He's a black mark, how did he offend you like this?" Xu Sichen put the bowl and chopsticks on the table.

Xu Mengyu pulled out a chair: "Dad, how did things go?"

"The formalities will be completed in a few days." Since Xu Sichen has already made his statement, no one else dares to take on the task except him.

However, he didn't push the person to the brink; he bought it at market price.

Xu Mengyu gave a thumbs up: "It has to be my dad. I'm planning to train new artists, and I just happen to need a place for them to live and attend classes."

"Dream on." Xu Sichen pulled out a chair for Li Milui to sit down: "Your Aunt Ye's car company needs a sales point."

Xu Mengyu, biting her chopsticks, asked, "Dad, don't you ever encounter bottlenecks when you start a business?"

"No." Xu Sichen said, then put some food on Li Milui's plate.

Li Mirui shrugged, not wanting to discourage him. The golf course he had built was now his private property.

Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility that he simply wants to build a golf course for himself.

After the three finished eating, Xu Mengyu rested her head on Li Mirui's lap and played on her phone. She was worried about Xu Lu's current condition, whether she had vomited, and whether her stomach still hurt.

Xu Sichen was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen. There was nothing he could do; this was the kind of work men did.

Li Mirui said softly, "I'll take your dad with me tomorrow, otherwise we'll be exposed sooner or later."

Xu Mengyu was a little reluctant, but this was the only way things could be now.

"If your dad knew we were keeping this from him... he might divorce me." Li Mirui said, lowering her eyes with a worried expression.

Xu Mengyu: "Huh?"

How is that possible!

Li Mirui is now very worried. She regrets listening to Xu Mengyu at the beginning and not telling Xu Sichen the truth. She should have sat down and discussed countermeasures with both families, letting each other know about Xu Lu's existence.

As for whether Xu Mengyu and Zheng Tianming will get together, that depends on their choices.

But it's too late to regret it now; things have already turned out this way.

After wiping his hands, Xu Sichen walked to the sofa and asked casually, "What are you two whispering about? Are you hiding something from me?"

"Yes, there's something I'm keeping from you, but I don't want to tell you." Li Mirui finished speaking and pinched Xu Mengyu's cheek: "You haven't gained any weight. Other girls are chubby and cute."

"Your daughter isn't popular?" Xu Mengyu snorted softly. There were countless people who liked her.

Xu Sichen also pinched her cheek: "Don't talk back to your mother."

Xu Mengyu: "..."

Her birth was like a huge accident.

That's exactly right...

Xu Sichen was taking medication for mental health issues at the time, and Li Mirui didn't dare tell him that she was pregnant, fearing that the baby wouldn't be healthy, causing him to be disappointed.

That evening, Li Mirui pulled Xu Sichen into the bedroom and lay down on the bed, saying, "It's not convenient at all here with our daughter."

Xu Sichen sat on the edge of the bed, twirling her long hair in his hand: "Then, shall I take you to explore the surrounding area tomorrow?"

"I don't want to move." After saying that, Li Mirui turned around and put her hand on his thigh: "Why don't you control yourself? It's not good for the child to hear you at your age."

"I know there are a lot of fun places nearby." Xu Sichen knew that he couldn't possibly "control" the situation.

In another ten or twenty years, he will be too old to continue, so he should enjoy life while he can.

Li Milui lifted her pajamas: "Look at my belly, and you too..."

Xu Sichen leaned over and kissed him: "I finally managed to fatten you up, why are you still thinking about this little bit of meat?"

“...”

I suggest every man learn this.

She's recently lost weight because she hasn't been controlling her diet; she's become quite plump, and he considers her a rare treat.

Xu Mengyu washed a plate of fruit and knocked on the bedroom door. The thought of her parents leaving made her feel upset. If she could, she would like to stay by her parents' side forever.

She could somewhat understand Xu Lu's feelings.

Li Mirui put down her clothes and lay down, determined to act like a parent in front of her child.

Xu Sichen opened the door and saw the fruit Xu Mengyu had washed. He smiled and said, "Get some rest. Whatever it is, Dad will take care of it for you."

"Ugh, I finally get to wash fruit, and you think I'm being overly attentive?" Xu Mengyu said, looking at Xu Sichen with dissatisfaction.

Xu Sichen had a "what else?" look on his face.

She's so lazy, when you ask her to wash an apple, she just rubs it on her clothes and takes a bite.

After returning to her bedroom, Xu Mengyu sent a video to Zheng Tianming. The father and son were watching TV, and Xu Lu would have to wait until midnight to eat some liquid food.

"Mom, Dad insisted on watching a military program, but I wanted to watch the police drama we just watched." Xu Lu pouted, thinking how exciting it was to catch criminals.

Xu Mengyu leaned against the headboard: "I don't care about your business. How are you? Does your stomach still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Xu Lu said, then looked at Zheng Tianming: "My mom said you have to change the channel for me."

Zheng Tianming glanced at the video. He knew he wouldn't be able to hold her and sleep with her tonight. Plus, he'd slept too much during the day, so he was destined to have insomnia.

"Son, is it possible that your dad is listening in here?" Zheng Tianming handed the remote control to Xu Lu and took the phone from him.

Xu Lu: "..."

The saying that those who are cunning will not grow tall is false.

Zheng Tianming sat on the sofa with his phone in his hand: "Uncle Xu is going out tomorrow, and I'll bring Xu Lu back with me. Let's make sure we don't run into each other."

Xu Mengyu yawned: "Okay, wait for news. Give the phone back to Lulu. Who wants to see you?"

Zheng Tianming moved his phone slightly: "Don't you want to see?"

Xu Mengyu: "..."

The child is still alive, doesn't he have any shame?
