Chapter 122 Father-son relationship!
The most eye-catching line is -
Persons being assessed: Xu Zhijun, An Xian.
Lu Xiyan's eyes narrowed as he saw the two names clearly.
Bending down to pick it up, he quickly flipped to the last page of results, which had several pages.
[Expert Opinion: Based on the results of this DNA test, excluding special circumstances such as identical twins, close relatives, and external interference, it is supported that Xu Zhijun and An Xian are biologically related.]
Xu Zhijun and An Xian are father and son!
The fingers that were holding the paper were trembling with force, turning white, and veins were visible on the back of his hand. Lu Xiyan's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Lu Lixiao immediately understood the meaning of his disbelieving and lost expression and snorted, "I know you too well. Do you still think that the child born by An Ning belongs to our Lu family?"
"Take a good look, see clearly!" Lu Lixiao pointed at the appraisal report in his hand. "This report from the Jinghai Judicial Appraisal Center can't be fake! An Ning's child with another man is already three years old!"
Lu Xiyan almost crushed the paper in his hand, the edges of which were clenched into a ball in his palm.
He raised his eyes, his gaze dark and intimidating, "So, Grandpa already knew about this?"
The date on the appraisal report was more than half a month ago.
Did the old man do a paternity test at that time?
Lu Lixiao looked away and sighed, "That woman suddenly brought a child back. I had the same concerns as you, and even thought about taking the child back if it was yours."
"But this is not a trivial matter, so we have to be cautious." He looked at Lu Xiyan earnestly, "So I have to investigate and make an appraisal."
"The result was truly disappointing!"
His tone was filled with anger again. "Consider the child's age. That woman An Ning dumped you and got involved with this man. What are you still unwilling to accept?"
Lu Xiyan clenched his hands at his sides, his joints trembling slightly.
He also checked and found that in the past four years, there was no other man around her except Xu Zhijun.
That's why he concluded that her ex-husband was Xu Zhijun and that she gave birth to An Xian.
But, today!
The child clearly told him in person that Xu Zhijun was not his father!
Just when he held on to a glimmer of hope and even boldly speculated whether An Xian might be their child, the paternity test was like a slap in his face.
Beat him until he was dizzy.
"Don't tell me you still want to do a paternity test with that kid?"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lu Lixiao seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and said sternly, "Don't you think this is shameful enough? You're entangled with a woman who has a child, and it's even affecting the company. Don't you think the joke you made four years ago wasn't big enough?"
Lu Lixiao's reprimands fell into his ears, and Lu Xiyan's eyes were as cold as a knife containing ice.
"Since Grandpa has considered so much for me, what else can I say?"
Lu Xiyan loosened his clenched palms and casually threw the paper in his hand to the ground, where it floated to Lu Lixiao's feet.
He chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "Anyway, everything is under Grandpa's control."
"Xiyan, Grandpa is really doing this for your own good."
Lu Lixiao heard the dissatisfaction in his words, walked up to him, and placed his hand on his shoulder.
"You are my grandfather's grandson and the successor to the Lu Group. In the future, my grandfather's position will be yours."
Lu Lixiao gently brushed away the invisible dust on Lu Xiyan's shoulders with his palm and lowered his voice, "Focus on preparing for the engagement party. You and Wanwan have been childhood sweethearts, and you have the support of the Cheng family after the marriage. Grandpa is optimistic about you in the bet."
Lu Xiyan turned slightly to keep a distance from him, and glanced at Lu Lixiao with deep eyes, which showed endless alienation.
He said nothing, turned around and strode away.
Until his figure walked out of the lobby steps, Ji Xiu stepped forward and whispered, "The chairman originally intended to hand Lu Corporation over to the Second Young Master. The gambling agreement between Ou Teng and Zhenghong was just your way of stimulating his desire to win. I hope the Second Young Master can understand your good intentions."
Lu Lixiao looked in the direction where Lu Xiyan left, and did not look away until he could no longer see his tall figure.
"He thought I didn't know that getting engaged to Wanwan was just one of his ways to win over Zhenghong. He has a relentless spirit and will strive to win as long as there's competition."
"Originally, I came up with the betting agreement because I was afraid he would fall. In fact, I was right. Look how high Ou Teng stood in his hands. I didn't have to worry about him losing this bet."
Lu Lixiao withdrew his gaze, and his proud tone was now tinged with worry. "But An Ning's appearance is a variable. This woman will destroy his fighting spirit and pull him down from this position, turning him into a mediocre person!"
Speaking of this, Lu Lixiao's wrinkled face was full of anger and a hint of regret.
"The chairman is afraid that the second young master will end up like the great master back then—"
Before Ji Xiu could finish his words, Lu Lixiao raised his hand to interrupt him, as if he didn't want to talk about this heartbreaking thing anymore.
Ji Xiu said nothing more, knowing that the great master's death more than 30 years ago was a lifelong pain for the old man.
That great gentleman was not the current Mr. Lu Jin of the Lu family, but the chairman’s eldest son, Lu Ye.
After Lu Ye passed away, the chairman wanted to get over the grief of losing his son, so he ordered no one in the Lu family to mention this matter again.
From then on, Mr. Lu Jin, the second Mr. Lu, became the head Mr. Lu of the Lu family, and Mr. Lu Ling, the third Mr. Lu, became the second Mr. Lu of the Lu family.
Lu Lixiao sighed, turned around and asked, "Is Wanwan still waiting in the study?"
"Yes, Chairman." Ji Xiu said, "Miss Cheng is still waiting for you."
......
In the ancient study, Ji Xiu skillfully twisted the tea leaves and put them into the Ming stone pot to brew tea. He poured the fragrant tea into the purple clay cup and placed one cup in front of Lu Lixiao and Cheng Wanwan.
Cheng Wanwan watched Ji Xiuxing's smooth movements and smiled coquettishly, "It should be me, the younger one, who should make the tea. It's all my fault for being so stupid. I never learned the technique when I was little. The tea I made is bitter and astringent and I can't drink it."
"Miss Cheng, there are many things to pay attention to when brewing tea. Different water quality and different tea leaves will make the taste of the brewed tea very different."
Ji Xiu smiled and said, "If the water quality, tea leaves, and heat are right, the brewed tea will be mellow and sweet with an endless aftertaste."
Cheng Wanwan seemed to understand what was said, and nodded as she looked at the tea set in her hand.
Lu Lixiao picked up the teacup and took a sip. He smiled and said, "Your mother is a great tea brewer, and your father also loves tea. I didn't expect their precious daughter to have no interest in tea."
Cheng Wanwan smiled and said, "Grandpa Lu, please stop laughing at me."
Lu Lixiao's eyes were filled with a loving smile as he pushed the snacks on the tray in front of her. "Have some snacks. Don't you young people like to have some snacks with your tea? Try today's cakes and see if they are delicious."
Cheng Wanwan picked up a piece of chrysanthemum pastry and said with a smile, "My mom always told me that the dim sum at Grandpa Lu's house is so delicious, and the taste is something you can't get outside."
"Of course, the pastries made by the Lu family's pastry chef are not available outside." Lu Lixiao watched her eat half a chrysanthemum pastry and said with a smile, "Your taste is different from your mother's. When your mother came to my place, she only ate persimmon pastries, but you like chrysanthemum pastries."
Cheng Wanwan smiled and continued, "Yes, my nanny said that my taste is actually the same as hers. Maybe it's because she brought me up."
After finishing the heartwarming opening words, Cheng Wanwan finally got to the point. "By the way, have you shown Xiyan the things I brought for Grandpa Lu?"
