Lu Jianshen rolled his eyes without hesitation.

"Hurry up and make the call!"

Chen Lei realized what was happening and immediately nodded.

He was so eager to bring his brat to see President Lu that he forgot to inform Miss Tang.

Miss Tang must be frantically searching for him in Beijing right now.

Tang Li saw that it was Chen Lei calling and hung up immediately, assuming it was something else.

Tang Li is now completely focused on finding her child, and Chen Lei, undeterred, made three more phone calls.

Tang Li finally answered the phone.

"Ms. Tang, you finally answered the phone!" Chen Lei was almost crying with anxiety on his end of the line. "Your son is with me!"

"real!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Li felt a sense of relief, but also felt puzzled.

"How did A-Lu end up with you?"

She had a feeling of unease.

After Chen Lei explained the whole story, Tang Li finally understood. "Thank you, Chen Lei. Please also thank your girlfriend for me. I'll treat you to dinner another day!"

Tang Li finally relaxed, feeling a great weight lifted off her shoulders.

Where are you now? I'll come pick up the kids.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to make it tonight. I'm in Mingcheng, and there are no more flights tonight. Why don't you wait a couple more days until we get back from our business trip and bring the child back with us?"

Tang Li was still worried.

The thought of Lu Jianshen being with the child filled her with unease; it would be terrible if A-Lu's true identity were exposed.

I don't know if anything unexpected will happen in the next couple of days.

"Chen Lei, could you please take care of A-Lu for me? I'm flying there tomorrow morning!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Lei turned and glanced at his boss.

Lu Jianshen was having a late-night snack with Alu. The hotel had just sent over some healthy vegetable salad and porridge.

The little guy pouted and lost interest after a couple of bites.

"Where's the fried chicken? This looks like something monks would eat!"

Lu Jianshen raised an eyebrow, then sighed and asked Chen Lei to go downstairs and buy the best fried chicken in the neighborhood.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, when I met him just now, he said that his father is you."

Lu Jianshen was increasingly confused. Whose child was this?

"You brat, who's your father? Is it me?"

A-Lu shook his head. "Why should I tell you?"

My mother once said that when you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity, and you can make up whatever you want!

Lu Jianshen looked puzzled. "Then why did you say your father was me just now?"

The little guy looked completely innocent and quite frank, saying, "I was just talking nonsense. Your assistant is so stupid; he believes everything I say."

"Hey!"

Chen Lei didn't like hearing this. He was clearly a very sincere person who never lied and believed that children should be sincere and wouldn't lie.

Little did he know, this little brat actually lied to him.

Lu Jianshen is no longer bothered by this matter, but the relationship between Shen Qingxu and the child is still open to discussion!

"Chen Lei, work overtime tonight and investigate the relationship between Tang Li and Shen Qingxu!"

Lu Jianshen had already begun to have doubts.

He had never considered what kind of relationship the two of them could have.

After all, they have different surnames and seem to have had no interaction before. There are only rumors that Tang Li always liked to stick to Shen Qingxu when they were in school.

Another half hour passed before Chen Lei came back from outside carrying two bags of fried chicken.

He had just walked through all the streets and alleys in the vicinity and finally found this fried chicken restaurant with many positive reviews on Dianping (a Chinese review platform).

"Give it a try, you little rascal. I've been really kind to you. I went to so many stores in this freezing weather just to buy it for you!"

A-Lu's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the fried chicken.

He reached out his little hand, about to grab it, when Chen Lei pressed down on the bag.

"Big brother, can't you just tell me what the relationship is between Shen Qingxu and your mother?"

"You just said I couldn't be trusted, so why are you asking me now? Do you want the truth or a lie?"

Chen Lei silently released the hand that was holding the fried chicken.

It's exhausting talking to this brat; he can't tell which of his words are true and which are false.

He should put in the effort to investigate himself; it's almost 3 a.m.

It's not hard to find out about the relationship between Shen Qingxu and Tang Li, since there's no attempt to conceal it online.

Chen Lei found out effortlessly that the two were actually siblings, half-siblings sharing the same mother but different fathers.

"Boss, this is juicy gossip! Miss Tang's family situation is quite dramatic, it could be a book. Before marrying Tang Nanquan, Miss Tang's mother, Liu Shuyi, was married to another man and had a son, Shen Qingxu. Later, she remarried Tang Nanquan and had another daughter, the young mistress..."

Lu Jianshen had no interest in listening to gossip about the Tang family.

He only knew one thing: Shen Qingxu could no longer be the child's father. So, who was A-Lu's father?

He initially thought the child's features resembled Shen Qingxu's.

Now that I think about it, the nephew resembles the uncle, which is a very normal blood relationship, but he misunderstood it!

Looking at the little baby who was already fast asleep on the bed, Lu Jianshen's heart stirred.

"Chen Lei, take my and his genetic test samples to the hospital for a paternity test!"

Chen Lei nodded, though he also had his doubts.

If this brat really is the boss's son, then he has made great contributions, but his girlfriend Ye Anqi deserves most of the credit.

That old man from the Gu family really has no good intentions; he won't even spare a child!
