At this moment, Huo Jingxi's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID, answered it, and slowly left the room.

Su Yu smiled, "Hello, my name is Su Yu. Lu Yi said you..."

What did he say about me?

Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly became energetic, her indifferent eyes suddenly shining.

...

Lu Yi never expected to see Lu Zhengming in the Fan family's living room.

"Yi'er, President Lu brought you a gift when he returned from his business trip..."

Fan Shenglun's voice was neither warm nor cold, and he left the fruit platter, snacks, and fine tea on the coffee table without missing a thing, making it impossible to discern his true attitude towards Lu Zhengming.

Lu Yi, with her hair still wet, walked up to him.

Under Lu Zhengming's eager gaze, he nodded and said, "Hello, Mr. Lu!"

Lu Zhengming's face went numb, and his smile gradually froze, but he quickly recovered and took out the watch that Lu Han had prepared.

"Yi'er has grown quite a bit taller. I heard that young people are wearing watches again. We're in a hurry and don't have time to choose carefully, why don't you try one?"

Lu Yi didn't want to accept it, nor was he interested in knowing why Lu Zhengming had reappeared like a zombie to give a gift.

Fan Shenglun took it for him and said approvingly, "Wow, this watch isn't cheap! Mr. Lu, you're very thoughtful!"

Without saying a word, she gestured to Lu Yi to accept it first, and then stuffed the watch into his hand.

Lu Yi flipped through it and laughed helplessly.

Perhaps in Lu Zhengming's eyes, his biological son is still just a stray dog ​​who only deserves to ride a shared bicycle!

Can he give away things that others have used as gifts?

"Mr. Lu, I can afford a new one now. Even if I couldn't, there's no need for me to collect junk!"

Lu Yi bent down and pushed the things in front of Lu Zhengming.

Fan Shenglun was surprised for a moment. When he turned his head, he saw a faint scratch on the watch strap.

He wears a watch year-round, and it's clear that those are marks left from frequently taking it off and putting it on.

Lu Zhengming's relaxed nerves tensed up instantly at the strange looks from the two men. He held the item in his hand, turning it over and over to examine it several times, his face twitching.

"this……"

He never expected that Lu Han would still consider Lu Yi a good-for-nothing even at this point.

He coughed twice, his voice dry. "Perhaps I picked the wrong one. Next time... Yi'er, next time Daddy will take you to the store to choose one!"

In the past, Lu Yi would have been deeply moved by these words.

But now, these words of comfort to children cannot stir the slightest ripple in his heart.

He patted Fan Shenglun on the shoulder and stood up.

"No need to trouble you, Mr. Lu... Something came up at the company. Old Xu just called and asked me to come over. Dad, you two keep talking!"

He called out "Dad" to Fan Shenglun, and didn't open his eyes to look at Lu Zhengming again until he got out of the car.

Sitting in the car, he gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, calmed his mind, and then started the car.
