At around 5:30 in the afternoon, Lu Wanying suddenly received a strange phone call.
"Excuse me, are you Lu Rong's daughter, Lu Wanying?"
"Yes, I am, what's wrong?" Her whole body tensed up.
"Your father was injured at the construction site and is now in the People's Hospital."
Lu Wanying suddenly opened her eyes wide, and the hand holding the phone trembled.
"I'll be there right away." She rushed out of the classroom, her face full of worry.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the hospital and went straight to the operating room.
When she arrived, she suddenly stopped and looked at the operating room with an anxious look on her face, "What happened to my dad?"
"Your dad was just unlucky. He was about to get off work when several bricks fell from the sky and knocked him to the ground." Lu Rong's colleague sighed sadly.
That scene suddenly appeared in Lu Wanying's mind. The bricks were heavy to begin with, and they fell from mid-air. How serious must the injury be?
She burst into tears, stamping her feet anxiously, muttering to herself, "I told him not to work on the construction site. Not only is it hard, but it's easy to get injured. At worst, I'll just stop studying and go earn money. I can't even afford to go to university anyway."
"Wanying, don't worry, your father will be fine." A colleague comforted her.
She was so anxious that she paced back and forth in the corridor anxiously. Suddenly, she thought of something, took out her cell phone from her bag, and subconsciously called An Xinghe.
The phone beeped for a long time before it was picked up.
"Hello, Wanying." An Xinghe looked at Chu Xinrou opposite him and said in a low voice.
"Xinghe, something happened to my dad and he's in the operating room now. I'm scared." Lu Wanying couldn't control her sobs.
The sound was even more defeated.
"What? Uncle is in the hospital?" An Xinghe stood up immediately with worry and said without hesitation, "Wait, I'll be there soon."
When Chu Xinrou heard his words, there was no surprise in her eyes, but a smile of success appeared at the corner of her mouth.
An Xinghe was about to turn around, but Chu Xinrou stopped him.
"Xinghe, we haven't finished talking yet." There was a hint of hidden threat in her calm tone.
An Xinghe stopped and looked at her with his eyes half-closed and his brows furrowed.
Hearing a familiar voice coming from the other side, Lu Wanying stopped sobbing and said with disgust, "Was it Chu Xinrou who was speaking just now?"
How could Xinghe be with Chu Xinrou?
Just as this doubt flashed through her mind, An Xinghe quickly said, "Don't be afraid, uncle will be fine. I will try to come over right away."
"Xinghe, you haven't answered me whether it was Chu Xin just now..." Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of hang-up.
She slowly put down the hand holding the phone, and a look of contemplation appeared in her eyes.
An Xinghe put his phone into his trouser pocket and looked at Chu Xinrou with a gloomy look.
His tone was even more sharp, "Were you threatening me just now?"
Chu Xinrou's face was filled with helplessness. "I didn't, but you used a mask to hide your identity. You definitely didn't want Lu Wanying to know that it was you who saved her back then and saved me last year."
An Xinghe leaned forward slightly, supporting himself on the table with his hands. He looked at her sinisterly and said in a resounding voice, "I didn't tell her because I didn't want her to have wild thoughts. Chu Xinrou, don't be so clever."
After saying this, he withdrew his hand and turned to leave.
Chu Xinrou stood up, looked at his back, and boldly speculated, "Why did you appear at the door of my villa two years ago? Was it because you were following Lu Wanying, or...did you just accidentally save her?"
This series of events gave Chu Xinrou an unexpected idea. Could it be that An Xinghe had already known that he was her father's son?
This idea was absurd, but if it wasn't because of Lu Wanying that he appeared at the door of her villa two years ago, then what was it?
He even wore a mask to try to conceal his identity.
An Xinghe suddenly stopped and a few dark lights flashed in his eyes.
He turned around and stared at her scorchingly, "Chu Xinrou, what do you want to say?"
"Do you remember when we met as kids? Me and my mom, and you and your mom."
Hearing this, An Xinghe's pupils shrank and he replied calmly, "I don't quite remember."
Chu Xinrou helped him recall, "When my mom asked you how old you were, she said you were seven before you did. You must have been very surprised at the time. You were clearly eight, so why did your mom lie to me? If you are really the same age as me, it means you are the same age as An Yuexi. But no one has ever said that you are twins, a boy and a girl, and you were born in the same year. Is that possible?"
An Xinghe's eyes deepened, but his expression remained calm. "Maybe my mother remembered my age wrongly. Even if I'm really one year older than you, what does that mean?"
"How could a mother remember it wrong? If you are one year older than me, but your mother lied to my mother, is she trying to cover up something? Xinghe, I heard that you have been very smart since you were a child. It is impossible that you have never had doubts." Chu Xinrou pointed out directly.
She stared at him, trying to read his thoughts, but his expression remained calm and didn't change.
Except when I heard that Lu Wanying's father was admitted to the hospital.
"I was still young at that time and didn't think too much about it." He said this to get it over with.
But Chu Xinrou continued to ask, "Then why did you appear outside my villa two years ago?"
An Xinghe was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Because I knew Lu Wanying when I was a child, and I followed Lu Wanying there."
Chu Xinrou seemed to have expected him to say that, and she said calmly, "I know you knew Lu Wanying when you were little, so I met you twice in the same year. Two years ago, you followed Lu Wanying to my villa."
"But if I remember correctly, I was in the second grade, and you were in the third. Students in the third grade usually finish school two hours later. That day, I was two hours late because I had to rehearse a show. It just so happened that my mom came to pick me up at a suitable time for the first time that day."
"That day after school, Lu Wanying came home and learned that the Lu family's bankruptcy was caused by my family, so she couldn't wait to run over to my house and scold us. You hadn't even finished class at that time. How did you manage to stalk Lu Wanying?"
Chu Xinrou exposed his lies in one fell swoop.
The reason why she was quite clear about what happened that day was, firstly, that it was the first time her mother picked her up from school, and secondly, it was the day when she had completely trampled Lu Wanying under her feet and finally no longer had to live in her shadow. Naturally, it was deeply impressed and she would never forget it for the rest of her life.
An Xinghe was speechless. Chu Xinrou was right. He did not go to the Chu family villa with Lu Wanying.
After meeting Lu Wanying as a child, she left a deep impression on him.
