Tang Li was clearly worried.

No wonder, A-Lu's voice was so convincing. As her mother, it would be strange if she wasn't worried.

A-Lu coughed twice more and replied weakly, "My dad is working overtime. He caught a chill from the wind on his way back."

"I just can't trust your dad!"

There were rustling sounds coming from Tang Li's side; she was probably packing her things.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll be right there. Is there any medicine in the house? Is there a housekeeper at home? I'll ask her to check if there's any cold medicine for you."

Tang Li was still worried and said, "Never mind, let me take the medicine when I get there. Just in case it's not a cold, you can't take medicine randomly..."

Immediately afterwards, with a "bang," the sound of a door being closed could be heard on the other end of the phone.

A-Lu thought that his mother might have already left home.

It takes about 20 minutes to get here from my mother's place.

He hung up the phone and glanced at his father.

"Dad, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go to the study, pretend to be busy, in a meeting, or working!"

"Are you sure she won't come after me when she gets here? I didn't take good care of you; I was in a meeting in the study while you were sick!"

Lu Jianshen felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about the direct consequences of this matter.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of things later!" A-Lu patted his chest and assured him confidently.

Lu Jianshen looked at Alu, feeling uneasy, as if the kid was trying to trick him.

"Will it really work?"

Ah Lu acted like a little adult, saying, "If you don't leave soon, I won't be able to continue acting either."

Since we're going to cooperate, we should at least have some trust in him.

Hearing this, Lu Jianshen could only return to his study with some doubt, pretending to be very busy.

However, he does have an important video conference tonight.

With that in mind, he called Chen Lei and asked him to move the meeting forward by an hour.

Chen Lei asked uncertainly, "Boss, shall we start the meeting now?"

Lu Jianshen thought about it, feeling uneasy, with a general feeling that this was a trap.

But now, it seems there's no better way than to listen to that brat.

"Let's move the meeting forward and start now."

Twenty minutes later, Tang Li rushed to Lu Jianshen's villa.

She saw Ah Lu lying on the sofa in the living room, looking very weak, her face looking terrible.

"A-Lu, what's wrong? Mom will take you to the hospital!"

The little guy panicked immediately when he heard about going to the hospital.

Going to the hospital means getting an injection; that's terrifying.

"Mom, I'm not feeling that bad anymore. I took some medicine and I feel much better now."

Tang Li looked at A Lu's current state and realized that he was in a very bad condition. Could he really get through this without going to the hospital?

"You were perfectly fine when we were eating at the restaurant. Could it be something else? I'd better take you to the hospital, just to be on the safe side."

A-Lu quickly sat up straight, but his complexion still looked off.

He emphasized, "Mom, it's really not that serious."

Tang Li looked at him, thought for a moment, and then asked, "You're lying in the living room, where's your dad?"

"He's having a meeting in his study."

Tang Li was furious when she heard that Lu Jianshen was at home.

She was about to rush to the study to confront Lu Jianshen.

Does his so-called taking care of the child mean leaving the child sick alone in the living room and ignoring him?

"Mom, don't go!"

Alu quickly hugged Tang Li.

“Dad has been very busy with work these past few days. He works very late every night. He’s working so hard for me. Won’t his company be mine in the future?”

"ah?"

Tang Li found it strange when she heard A Lu say that.

While what he said made sense, it didn't seem like something A-Lu would say.

"Did your dad say something to lie to you?"

Alu shook his head.

"Mom, Dad is very busy with work. Can't you live with us? You've moved out again, and I'm bored at home alone. Dad is so busy with work, I have no company!"

Tang Li couldn't bear to see A Lu looking so pitiful.

"How about this, I'll get you a dog to keep you company?"

When Ah Lu heard that he could keep a dog, he immediately became excited.

Is it really possible?

On second thought, it seems his goal wasn't actually to own a dog.

"But, Mom, I still want you to stay with me. I don't want the dog to stay with me."

Tang Li thought about it and realized that since she and Lu Jianshen were already divorced, it didn't seem appropriate for her to stay here any longer.

"How about this, you pack your things, and Mom will take you back to my place to stay for a while, okay?"

A-Lu shook his head. "Dad will be bored at home alone."

He really is his father's good son!

Lu Jianshen stayed in the study for a while. The meeting went smoothly and ended quickly.

Feeling uneasy, he decided to go out and see anyway.

The door panel is so soundproof that I can't hear what the two people outside are talking about.

However, the fact that Tang Li hasn't rushed in means that the conversation is probably going relatively smoothly.

If the conversation hadn't gone well, she would have stormed in and confronted me by now.

Thinking of this, Lu Jianshen pretended to go out to pour tea and walked out of the study.

Tang Li immediately flew into a rage upon seeing him.

"Are you really that busy? Your child is already sick, and you're leaving him lying alone in the living room, expecting a six-year-old to take care of himself?"
