As Gan Tang entered the villa, Butler He rushed over to help her carry her things.
"Young Miss, are you having a good time?"
"Okay!" Gan Tang replied casually, then asked, "Which room is Fu Shaojie staying in? Is he back yet?"
“Miss, this is Mr. Lu’s home. How can there be outsiders living here? The only owners of Yuanhuai Manor are you and Mr. Lu.”
Butler He's reaction was strange, as if he was telling me that he didn't know who Fu Shaojie was, or as if he was reminding me not to mention Fu Shaojie again.
Mo Huaixing said that no one from the Lu Group is allowed to come here. Does that mean that the people here have no connection with the Lu Group?
"I see."
Gan Tang didn't ask anything more. After returning to her room, she sent Mo Huaixing a WeChat message: Give me Fu Shaojie's phone number.
The number arrived, and Gan Tang dialed it.
"who?"
Fu Shaojie sounded quite angry on the phone.
"Your sister!" Gan Tang couldn't help but get angry when she heard this. She calmed herself down and continued, "If you're free tonight or tomorrow, let's meet!"
"Sister, what do you want to see me for?" After hearing who it was, Fu Shaojie's attitude softened considerably.
"Enough talk, who chooses the time and place, you or me?"
"I'll send it to you." Fu Shaojie quickly hung up the phone.
Gan Tang looked at the address on her phone, put it down, and opened her newly bought laptop.
On the web search interface, Gan Tang entered the first question she wanted to search: Is it illegal to kill someone in international waters?
What does this question mean? It means fear, it means hatred, it means ulterior motives...
Whatever it means, it doesn't mean that he misses his parents who raised him. At least, it can divert Lu Zhengqian's attention from his parents.
As for why I didn't use my phone to search, it's because I wanted to determine if the network was being monitored.
"Young Miss, dinner is ready!" Butler He knocked on the door.
“I’m not hungry,” Gan Tang replied.
Butler He reminded her, "Miss, Mr. Lu is already in the restaurant!"
"What?" He hadn't even had a chance to tell Fu Shaojie yet, how come he's back already?
Was it a test or an interrogation? The unease in my heart was like climbing stairs, following Gantang step by step.
In the restaurant, Lu Zhengqian was dressed in loose pajamas. Despite his exhaustion, his eyes were full of loving kindness, showing no trace of anger or probing.
"Dad, why are you all alone?"
Currently, Lu Zhengqian is undergoing treatment, and under normal circumstances, Dr. Mu Zi will not leave his side.
"Come on!" Lu Zhengqian beckoned Gan Tang to sit next to him, showing none of the oppressive feeling of strict rules that usually lingers on the cruise ship.
"Why bother going to the doctor at home? It's a downer. Dad just wants to spend more time with you."
The butler instructed the servants to serve the dishes. The table was laden with delicacies, including shark fin and foie gras, which Gan Tang had never seen before. But instead of curiosity and awe, she felt a chill; the more she looked at it, the more it resembled a last meal before execution.
"Dad, this is too much. How can the two of us finish it?" Gan Tang's teeth chattered.
Lu Zhengqian picked up his chopsticks and put some food on Gan Tang's plate, his eyes full of affection: "Dad didn't know what you liked to eat, so he asked them to make a little more."
"Thank you, Dad!" But she couldn't eat anything now; it tasted mechanical and bland.
Lu Zhengqian's feigned kindness couldn't suppress the anger in his heart at this moment: "You don't like the taste of the chef's cooking?"
He went to the Lu Group and immediately canceled his evening meeting, planning to go home and have dinner with his daughter. Unexpectedly, he saw her talking on the phone with her adoptive parents.
The cook, peering through the glass door, watched Gan Tang's every move intently, occasionally wiping away sweat with nervousness. Previously, Mr. Lu rarely returned, making him, the cook, practically a figurehead. But now, things were different.
"No." Gan Tang shivered and hurriedly explained, "I just ate, not long ago, I'm not hungry."
"You ate with Mo Huaixing?"
"Hmm!" Gan Tang didn't dare to say anything more at this moment.
"It's not just about eating, is it?"
Lu Zhengqian quickly calmed down. To distract himself, he took out his phone and looked at his credit card spending records, saying sourly, "I spent a total of 1.28 million today. I spent 1.2 million on a men's watch. Who did I give it to?"
"Mo Huaixing".
Does this mean that Mo Huaixing's matter is more important? Gan Tang calmed down and smiled in response.
Lu Zhengqian sneered, "You're really willing to do that."
He seemed angry, but was actually jealous.
Gan Tang smiled and served him some food, sincerely admitting her mistake: "Dad, I won't waste money anymore."
"Is it that Dad doesn't have money for you to spend?" Lu Zhengqian reminded him with dissatisfaction. "If you spent tens of millions, I wouldn't say anything. But you only spent 1.28 million in total. 1.2 million for him to buy a watch, is he that important?"
"No, what I'm doing is... winning people's hearts," Gan Tang said, revealing a reason she had prepared beforehand.
"What?"
This answer stunned Lu Zhengqian, who had always been a powerful and influential figure.
Gan Tang explained, "I always felt that my fourth uncle, eldest brother, and younger brother didn't really like me."
"Who said that?"
"That's true. Otherwise, how could you happen to run into me when I'm just trying to meet someone?"
Gan Tang gave an irrefutable reason, dispelling the only doubt in Lu Zhengqian's mind.
"My brother was so good to him. If I didn't treat him well, why would he risk his life for me?"
At this point, Gan Tang beckoned with her finger and whispered in Lu Zhengqian's ear, "To make him believe that I gave him the watch because I liked him, and I even kissed him."
Seeing his daughter so innocently revealing her scheming nature, Lu Zhengqian found her incredibly adorable. He gently stroked her hair and said, "Don't worry, Daddy won't let anyone hurt you. Here, I'll send you a few more people."
