"Aren't you Lu Zhengqian's daughter?"
Mo Huaixing rudely pushed Gan Tang away, his eyes fierce, quite different from the fierceness in Fu Shaojie's eyes, yet still frightening her into retreating repeatedly.
Gan Tang bumped into the cabinet, trying to appear calm.
"Of course, I'm just afraid no one will believe me."
Mo Huaixing lowered his eyes: "I've only heard that when Lu Zhengqian was young, back when he probably wasn't called Lu Zhengqian, he had a romantic affair with a woman named Jian Suhuai. Unfortunately, she died while giving birth, and the child's whereabouts are unknown; we don't even know if it was a boy or a girl. I wonder which of his romantic affairs you are?"
"Mind your own business!" Gan Tang avoided his questioning gaze and hurriedly picked up the hairdryer to dry her hair.
The wind and waves on the sea subsided, the sun rose, and golden rays spilled across the surface, creating a serene and beautiful scene. But all this beauty was shattered by Mo Huaixing's phone ringing.
Mr. Fu's room is on the top deck of the cruise ship; to be precise, Mr. Fu is the only occupant on the top deck. After taking the elevator directly there, the elevator door can only be opened by entering a password that changes daily.
Upon entering the corridor, even Gan Tang, who was on the verge of death, was still awestruck by the extravagance of the top floor. The ceiling was inlaid with gemstones, creating a starry sky; the animal figurines hanging on the red walls were all carved from ivory; and world-renowned art treasures were displayed under crystal glass domes on both sides of the corridor, extending all the way to the room at the end of the corridor.
The most outrageous thing is that the ground is covered with gold leaf, which makes a tinkling sound when people walk on it, just like the sound of pilgrimage. It's as if gods really live inside.
Mo Huaixing pressed the doorbell and stood respectfully to the side.
The door was opened by a bodyguard with two old scars on his face and shoulders as hard as iron. He sprayed alcohol haphazardly at Gan Tang, then threw a pair of white slippers in front of her.
Gan Tang was so frightened that she took two steps back and looked at Mo Huaixing.
Aren't you going in?
Mo Huaixing stood still, so Gan Tang could only follow him in alone.
The style inside the room contrasts sharply with the outside. It's the style of an intellectual family from the 1950s or 60s, with a living room and a bedroom.
However, the wooden furniture in the living room is made of precious wood, which looks somewhat ridiculous when paired with the minimalist style.
At the bedroom door appeared Lin Shuang, a hot celebrity in the entertainment industry whom Gan Tang could only see on television.
She wore two old-fashioned braids from the last century and dressed in a white shirt and blue pants from that era, showing none of the haughty queen-like demeanor she exuded on camera.
A pair of fair, bare feet stepped on the red carpet, like a precious gift.
Feeling Gan Tang's probing gaze, Lin Shuang turned her head away somewhat awkwardly.
"Go in!"
Three men stood in front of the hospital bed. Fu Shaojie stood at the left side of the bed, turning his injured right arm with a fierce look in his eyes.
At the head of the bed on the right was a bald man in his fifties named He Zhong. He was wearing a black Tang suit and was looking at Gan Tang with a half-smile, lost in thought.
Standing at the foot of the bed was a man in his thirties wearing a suit. His calm expression was slightly agitated, and he was the only remaining sign of goodwill in the room.
"Brother Qian, they're here!"
Lin Shuang pressed the button next to the bed, and the bed slowly tilted to the side, revealing the man lying on it.
It's a ghost!
Gan Tang's legs went weak and she almost couldn't stand up.
The man in the bed was none other than Lu Zhengqian, her favorite business tycoon. Her worldview crumbled at that moment. Gan Tang never imagined that the successful person she considered the most outstanding and socially responsible was actually the devil who stole her heart.
Lu Zhengqian coughed, and Lin Shuang quickly brought him warm water.
He waved and looked at Gan Tang. In terms of appearance, she didn't resemble the woman in his memory as much as Lin Shuang, but there was a clear, gentle light in her eyes, exactly the same as in his memory, which touched him instantly.
You said you're my daughter?
"Yes!" Gan Tang shivered and tried her best to calm down.
"Who told you that?"
Fu Shaojie interrupted, as if he wanted to tear the person who told her apart.
Gan Tang, worried that it might harm her parents, quickly shook her head: "No one told me that my biological mother left me a picture of my father!"
Lu Zhengqian asked, "What's your biological mother's name?"
Gan Tang gambled on the name Mo Huaixing had mentioned: "Jian Suhuai".
Lu Zhengqian's body visibly stiffened.
Sobbing broke out, and He Zhong raised his chubby hand to wipe away his tears, crying, "Poor sister-in-law, she died after giving birth, she probably never even saw her child, boohoo..."
Yes, how could a newborn baby know its mother's name?
Fu Shaojie immediately realized what was happening and interrogated him, "Who told you what your mother's name was? Should we send a plane to bring your adoptive parents here for questioning?"
"No!" Gan Tang cried out, "My adoptive parents know nothing. They found me. When they found me, there was only a picture of my father in the blanket with my mother's name written on the back, nothing else!"
The more you say, the more mistakes you make. Gan Tang clung to this one sentence and refused to answer any further questions.
He Zhong stared at Fu Shaojie for a while as if he were an idiot, and finally couldn't help but give Lin Shuang a look.
Lin Shuang took out Gan Tang's ID card, held it up in front of Lu Zhengqian, and asked, "Brother Qian, this girl was born in 1999. Does the age match?"
Oh no, how could I forget to ask Mo Huaixing how old that child is?
Gan Tang began to make up a reason: "My adoptive parents found me and didn't know how old I was at the time. It just so happened that their child died in the same year they found me. So I just used her identity."
Fu Shaojie insisted, "Dad, we can't just listen to her side of the story. We still need to bring her adoptive parents here and interrogate them separately."
When the topic of parents came up again, Gan Tang decided to take the initiative and questioned Fu Shaojie: "I just want to find my biological father, I don't want to fight you for the family fortune, why have you been stopping me?"
"Who stopped me?" Fu Shaojie retorted angrily, his thoughts exposed. "I was just worried that my father would be deceived. Since you know who your biological father is, why didn't you look for him sooner?"
"How do you know I didn't look for them? It was your people who stopped me from entering the Lu Group."
Are these questions true or false? It's all up to you to say what you mean. Gan Tang's aura grew increasingly powerful, overwhelming Fu Shaojie, who had no chance to defend himself.
Seeing Fu Shaojie's helpless expression, He Zhong suddenly had a new plan.
As he hesitated, the man standing at the foot of the bed, seeing Lu Zhengqian's increasingly weak body, hurriedly said, "Godfather, why don't we just do a paternity test?"
When Lu Zhengqian woke up, Fu Cheng suggested doing a paternity test, but Lu Zhengqian was in a hurry to see people, so he brought the child with him first.
The truth is the truth; it's just a matter of whether it arrives sooner or later.
Looking at her futile struggle, Gan Tang suddenly had the urge to run headfirst into Lu Zhengqian and die together. But she only dared to think about it: "Fine, I'll go with you to do a paternity test when we get back to China."
"There's no need for that trouble, we can do it now." Fu Shaojie had initially been worried and hadn't dared to mention a paternity test. But now he was the most enthusiastic to agree.
"It will be ready in two hours."
