Xiao Tiancai and Xiao Suning only knew what a sister was, but they didn't understand what brother-in-law meant. However, they were both obedient children. When their sister told them not to call Lu Zhe brother, but to call him brother-in-law, they nodded in agreement.
Xiao Tiancai opened his mouth to call him brother-in-law, but Su Ci covered his mouth.
The boy's eyes widened.
"Speak softly, this is our secret, and no one else can hear it." No matter how thick-skinned Su Ci was, she didn't dare to be so arrogant when her parents were still around.
Xiao Tiancai understood, and he whispered to Lu Zhe, "Brother-in-law."
Su Ci was satisfied.
Xiao Suning followed suit, and he also called out in a baby voice like Xiao Tiancai, "Brother-in-law."
The boy standing next to Su Ci glanced at them faintly, and his ears were red under his short black hair.
"What are you doing standing at the door?" Su's mother sat down with Su's father and found that the children were still standing at the door.
Su Ci secretly rubbed the back of Lu Zhe's hand with her fingertips, and then she walked inside with a smile.
Lu Zhe lowered his eyelids to hide the smile in his black eyes.
There was an electric kettle in the hotel room, but the bottom of the kettle was full of scale. Lu Zhe did not want to use such a kettle to boil water to entertain Su's father and mother, so he bought a few bottles of mineral water from the hotel.
Originally, there were only two chairs in the room, and the other two were borrowed by Lu Zhe from Boss Fang.
Su's father and mother sat at each table, Su Ci sat on a chair near the French window, and the two little kids sat on the edge of the bed, their little heads huddled together, whispering something.
Lu Zhe walked over and sat down on the chair opposite Su Ci.
After all, Su's father had experienced a lot, and the shock in his heart had subsided. He looked at the young man Lu Zhe seriously.
Lu Chen was a devilish guy, like a colorful fox that could attract bees and butterflies at any time.
Lu Zhe had regular eyebrows and a stiff face. Except for his facial features, which were somewhat similar to Lu Chen's, his eyes and temperament were completely different.
Su's father felt conflicted.
"Uncle Su, Aunt Su, this place is rather simple, please forgive us for not being hospitable enough." The boy, who was always cold and calm, was a little more reserved and nervous when facing Su Ci's parents.
Father Su waved his hand, "Let's not talk about these. We came here today just to thank you for saving our lives. During the fire, you saved me and my wife, and you also took care of my daughter before. We are all very grateful. You are the savior of the Su family. If you want anything, just ask."
Putting aside whether Lu Zhe is the son of Lu Chen, this young man has done a great favor to the Su family, and he should really repay him.
Lu Zhe glanced at Su Ci who was sitting in front of the French window. He shook his head and said, "Uncle Su, I don't want anything. I would help anyone who was at the fire scene."
He didn't think that the people he saved were Su Ci's parents. After knowing this, he was relieved but didn't think of repaying the favor.
Su Ci was a little anxious. She kept winking at Lu Zhe. If it wasn't for her parents being at the scene, she would have kicked Lu Zhe with her toes.
Stupid, her family has a lot of money. It's better for him to have some money than nothing.
Father Su heard from his wife that the young man Lu Zhe had good character, and he also noticed this. This was completely different from that guy Lu Chen, who had a devilish face, many tricks, and was vicious. He had suffered several losses at the hands of the other party.
"You do good without asking for anything in return, but we in the Su family will not fail to repay the favors we owe you." Father Su looked at Lu Zhe and said frankly: "Don't mind. When we found Xiaoci before, we asked someone to investigate your background and know your situation."
Lu Zhe listened quietly.
"We know you are an orphan and you have frostbite." Father Su did not use the business way of talking, but spoke in the tone of an elder showing care to the younger generation, "We can provide you with the best treatment."
Even if frostbite cannot be cured, at least the excellent medical team can help Lu Zhe alleviate his condition.
Father Su continued, "And if you want, we can help you find your biological parents."
Although he was not sure whether Lu Zhe was Lu Chen's son, he could temporarily put aside his hostility towards Lu Chen's spotted fox and investigate whether Lu Zhe was his son because Lu Zhe had saved the Su family's life.
Hearing this, Lu Zhe shook his head, "Thank you, Uncle Su, thank you, Aunt Su, but I don't want to."
Su Ci saw that Lu Zhe refused Su's father to help him find his relatives, and she was not surprised at all. After all, he was thrown into an orphanage, and it would be meaningless to find such parents. Of course, maybe there was some hidden secret back then, but it is not important after so many years. When
Su's father heard what Lu Zhe said, he didn't know why, he thought of Lu Chen again. If Lu Zhe was really Lu Chen's son, and Lu Zhe didn't want to recognize his parents, he could watch the joke of the spotted fox.
Su's mother said, "We understand that you don't want to find your parents, but we hope you don't refuse treatment. We have asked someone to contact the most authoritative experts in this area."
Lu Zhe pursed his lips, glanced at Su Ci, and agreed.
If the treatment is effective, he hopes to spend more time with her.
Su's mother was relieved. After all, Lu Zhe seemed to be a selfless young man who didn't want anything, so they had no idea how to repay him.
At this time, Su's father asked someone to bring up the thank-you gifts prepared in the car. These were all prepared by Su's mother. "Please accept these gifts. Don't refuse them. You saved us, and this is what you deserve."
"Yes, yes, yes." Su Ci on the side also spoke up. She narrowed her eyes and said threateningly, "You are not allowed to refuse them."
Lu Zhe raised the corners of his lips and did not refuse again.
After a while, the originally small room was suddenly filled with gift boxes and gift bags.
Su's mother was more careful. She smiled and said, "I heard from Ci Ci that you will stay in City B in the future. Have you found a place to live? If not, we can provide you with one."
A house is nothing to the Su family.
Lu Zhe refused to say anything: "Thank you, Aunt Su, but I'm already looking for a house and will be able to decide on one soon."
Su's mother didn't force him, "If you need any help from the Su family, just ask. As for treatment, as long as the experts arrive, I will have someone contact you as soon as possible."
Ever since her daughter told her that she liked Lu Zhe, whether out of selfishness or a desire to repay a favor, Su's mother hoped that this young man Lu Zhe would be cured of his illness. Even if there was no cure, it would be good if the condition could be alleviated.
Lu Zhe: "Thank you."
Father Su was just discharged from the hospital yesterday. His body has not fully recovered yet and he cannot sit for a long time. He chatted with Lu Zhe casually for a few words and prepared to leave.
He still needs to send someone to investigate Lu Zhe's background. Even if Lu Zhe does not want to find his parents, he wants to know whether Lu Zhe is the son of Lu Chen's spotted fox.
Looking at his parents and two little carrots walking in front, Su Ci deliberately slowed down her pace. Su Ci
was still in the room until they walked out. She turned around, stretched out her two arms and climbed onto Lu Zhe's shoulders.
"Su Ci!" Lu Zhe was surprised by the girl's behavior. Her parents had just walked out of the door.
"Hush!" Su Ci winked at the boy, "Keep your voice down."
Lu Zhe reminded the girl, "You should leave."
Su Ci's dark eyes flashed with cunning, "Kiss me, I'll leave soon."
Lu Zhe looked at the girl who was almost hanging on him, and then he realized that she was not only thick-skinned, but also very courageous.
He sighed, "When your parents find you are not here, they will come in to look for you."
Su Ci nodded, "I know, so hurry up." There was a bad look in her eyes, "I put on lip gloss today, do you think my lips look better?" She put on lip gloss on purpose when she went out.
Lu Zhe didn't know anything about lipstick used by girls. His eyes fell on her lips, which were indeed a little different from her usual rosy lips.
He responded, "Yeah."
Su Ci smiled and said, "Come on, try it. This lip gloss is peach flavored. Candy ingredients are added to it, so it's a little sweet."
Taste what?
The girl was asking him to taste her lips.
Lu Zhe knew the girl's personality very well. If he didn't go along with her, she would be
even more naughty. The boy lowered his chin, and his cool thin lips fell on the girl's tangerine lips. Just as he got close, as the girl said, he smelled a sweet peach scent, and the girl's lips were softer than ripe peaches.
Lu Zhe just touched it lightly.
Su Ci was dissatisfied, "You didn't even taste it." She stood on tiptoe and offered it to him.
The sweet fragrance overflowed between her lips and teeth.
Su Ci was worried that her parents, who had already left, would not see her and would come back. After lingering with Lu Zhe for a few times, she left.
Hearing the heavy breathing of the boy beside her, Su Ci looked at him with bright eyes, "How does it taste?"
Her cosmetics, skin care products, and lipsticks were all customized by Su's mother. The lip glaze is made of pure natural ingredients, so it doesn't matter if you eat it once or twice.
Lu Zhe's tongue was filled with the sweet breath of the girl's lips. His dark eyes looked at her deeply, and the coldness in his voice was dispelled, "Very good."
Then, his lips were close to the girl's ear, and his breath was a little hot, "Tuan Tuan, you should go."
Su Ci's ears were suddenly numb.
The door was closed.
Lu Zhe leaned against the door panel, breathing steadily. He stretched out his finger and touched his lips, only to see that his fingertips touched the girl's honey orange lip gloss.
Licking the corner of his lips, Lu Zhe's dark eyes were smiling. The girl was getting bolder and bolder. One day, she would cry because of herself.
After leaving Lu Zhe's room, Su Ci happened to run into Su's mother who came back to look for her.
Su Ci was scared for a while. It was a close call. She almost got caught in the act.
"Mom."
She walked up with a smile and took Su's mother's arm, and took the initiative to explain: "I had something to talk to Lu Zhe just now, and I came out late. I thought you and Dad had left."
After Su's mother knew that her daughter liked Lu Zhe, how could she still feel at ease letting her daughter be alone with Lu Zhe?
She looked at her daughter and noticed that the lip gloss on her daughter's lips was gone.
If it was Su's father, he would definitely not notice such a small problem. However, Su's mother was different. As a woman, she was of course easy to notice small problems in lip color and makeup, especially today when she saw her daughter deliberately change her lip color and praised it for being beautiful.
Su's mother was an experienced person, and even now, she and her husband still had a good relationship and were often intimate. How could she not know why her daughter's lip gloss was gone.
She met her daughter's smiling face, but her heart sank.
...
After returning to Su's house.
Father Su said to Mother Su: "The last time you told me that Lu Zhe looked like someone, do you still remember this?"
Mother Su walked to her husband and sat down, "Yes, but I can't remember who he looks like." She always felt like she had seen him somewhere.
Father Su asked her: "Does he look like Lu Chen?" Mother Su
was stunned. Her husband suddenly mentioned it, and she suddenly remembered that Lu Zhe's eyebrows looked like Lu Chen.
No wonder she always felt that Lu Zhe looked like someone, it turned out that he looked like Lu Chen, the head of the Lu family.
However, the temperaments of the two were completely opposite. Lu Zhe, the young man, was colder and more quiet, while the head of the Lu family had a more volatile personality, so she didn't associate the two people at all.
But her husband was different. He and Lu Chen had been enemies since childhood, and they had always disliked each other.
It is not without reason that the enemy knows you best. Her husband knew Lu Chen well, so he could tell at a glance that Lu Zhe looked like Lu Chen.
"Lu Zhe is an orphan, and Lu Chen's son was lost early. Could it be that Lu Zhe is Lu Chen's child?" Su's mother was shocked. How could it be such a coincidence?
Su's father nodded, "It is very likely."
Even if he sent people to investigate, it would be useless. After all, Lu Chen sent so many people and failed to find the child.
"I plan to find out if Lu Zhe is Lu Chen's child." Su's father told his wife, "The day after tomorrow, Grandpa Qin will hold a banquet. Lu Chen's family has been invited. I plan to attend as well."
It doesn't matter if he can't find out. As long as he gets Lu Chen's hair at the banquet, he can do a paternity test and the result will be clear.
Grandpa Qin invited many wealthy people to his 70th birthday party. The most concerned ones are Lu Chen from the Lu family and Su Shengguo from the Su family. Both of them are the leaders of the top wealthy families. In addition, they don't like each other. It's like a fight between gods. Maybe they can watch the show.
Father Su and Mother Su attended the banquet together. After so many years, their looks are still well maintained, and their temperament is even better than before.
Even though the Su family is famous for their good looks, the guests still looked at Father Su and Mother Su with envy. Not only is the man handsome and the woman charming, but they are still so loving after so many years.
Unlike the Su couple, Lu Chen of the Lu family attended the banquet alone.
After so many years, it is not only Father Su and Mother Su who have maintained themselves well, but also Lu Chen.
Time has been especially tolerant to this man, leaving no trace on his face. Not only does he look handsome, he also has a pair of amorous peach blossom eyes. Whether when he was young or now, when people talk about the most enchanting man in City B, they will definitely think of Lu Chen. Back then, there were countless women who fell in love with Lu Chen.
Now Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at Su's father with a smile in his peach blossom eyes, and laughed out loud: "I heard that you almost died in the fire before, I thought you were lying in the hospital unable to move, I didn't expect to see you today."
Su's father was not to be outdone, "I was born with a good life."
Lu Chen pulled the corner of his lips, "That's right, the disaster has lasted for thousands of years, how can it be so easy to die."
Su's father smiled and said: "Speaking of which, it's thanks to the person who saved me. I think you should be interested in meeting my savior."
"Your brain is not burned by the fire, why should I be interested in meeting the person who saved you." Lu Chen looked lazy and sneered, "When I see him, I will scold him for meddling in other people's business and saving you from such a disaster."
Father Su: "Even if you want to see him, I may not let you see him."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, "Who cares."
"Hua Fox, you are a little angry tonight. Are you jealous that I have a wife by my side while you are alone?" Father Su knew where Lu Chen's pain was and stepped on it directly.
When Lu Chen's son was lost, his wife Wen Ya had a quarrel with him.
Lu Chen was also thick-skinned. The scene of him kneeling in the rain and begging his wife not to divorce once shocked the whole B city.
The two of them did not divorce, but Wen Ya had been ignoring Lu Chen since her son was lost. Even if Lu Chen chased his wife with a thick face, he could not get his wife's favor.
Every time Su's father attacked Lu Chen like this, he won.
Sure enough, Lu Chen's face turned black, he snorted heavily, and passed by Su's father. When passing by, Lu bumped into Su's father heavily.
"Sheng Guo, are you okay?" Su's mother hurried to support her husband. She was speechless about Lu Chen and her husband's childish behavior of quarreling every time they met, and even wanting to fight.
Su's father looked at Lu Chen who walked away proudly, he stood up straight, "I'm fine."
He stretched out his hand to his wife, on which was a hair.
"Got it." He smiled.
"Whose hair is it?" Su's mother was not able to react for a moment.
"It belongs to Lu Chen's spotted fox." He was just thinking about how to get close to Lu Chen and get his hair, but he didn't expect the other party to deliberately bump into him, and there happened to be a strand of Lu Chen's hair on the sleeve of his suit.
He knew Lu Chen, Lu Chen had a serious cleanliness fetish, and no one would get close to him except his wife. Therefore, such a short strand of hair must be Lu Chen's.
When Su's mother heard what her husband said, she quickly responded, "You want to use Lu Chen's hair and Lu Zhe's hair for paternity test?"
Su's father rubbed his wife's head, "Xinxin is still so smart."
Su's mother gave him a coquettish look, "There are many people watching around."
Su's father laughed out loud, "Who dares to look around?"
It was not enough to just get a hair from Lu Chen. He had already arranged people at the venue to keep an eye on Lu Chen and collect the cigarette butts that Lu Chen threw away when he smoked. Next, he only needed to get Lu Zhe's hair to do the paternity test.
...
In the past two days, Lu Zhe and Boss Fang acted separately. He was responsible for finding a house, and Boss Fang was responsible for finding an office space.
This was very efficient. Lu Zhe finally chose a community near the suburbs. Although it was a bit far from the city center, the environment was good, and even the greening in the community was well done.
Lu Zhe rented a two-bedroom, one-living room house, and Boss Fang rented the house opposite him, which was also a two-bedroom, one-living room house. Both houses belonged to the same landlord and had been renovated for some time.
The furniture was very complete, and they only needed to move in with their suitcases.
Lu Zhe and Boss Fang were eager to move in, and the landlord was also straightforward. After receiving the deposit and rent, he handed them the keys.
The house has two rooms, one of which has good lighting and ventilation.
Lu Zhe pulled the two large suitcases into the room with good lighting, wiped the closet, and then opened the suitcases.
It turned out that the two suitcases that Boss Fang had mistakenly thought Lu Zhe had moved all his belongings into were actually filled with beautiful clothes for girls.
Lu Zhe picked up the skirt made of thin and soft fabric and hung it in the closet.
When only the underwear was left, Lu Zhe's ears turned red. He pursed his lips, folded the girl's underwear, and put it in the drawer of the closet.
His fingertips felt hot when they touched the soft fabric.
At night, Su Ci video-called Lu Zhe, and she knew that Lu Zhe had moved into the rented house.
"I want to go to your place and take a look." Su Ci lay on the bed. With the experience from the last time, she did not deliberately wear a low-necked skirt to hook Lu Zhe this time.
"Come back after I tidy up the house." The room has not been tidied up yet and is still a bit messy.
Su Ci's eyes lit up, "Then I'll go over the day after tomorrow?"
Lu Zhe curled his lips, "Yeah."
At this time, someone knocked on Su Ci's door.
"Wait a minute, I'll go open the door." Su Ci got up from the bed lazily with her mobile phone in hand.
When she opened the door, she saw two little dwarfs standing at the door.
"Sister, here's some for you." Little Su Ning held a plate of sliced peaches in her hand.
"Ning Ning is so good, thank you." Su Ci touched his head.
The little genius next to him also held something in his hand, which was washed cherries, "Sister Ci, here's for you."
"Thank you, little genius." Su Ci also touched his head.
After the two kids put the fruits into Su Ci's room, Su Ci squatted down in front of them with her phone in hand. She pointed the phone screen at the two of them and said, "Come, say hello to your brother-in-law."
Now that Su's father and mother are not around, Su Ci can act recklessly.
Little Tiancai and little Su Ning looked at Lu Zhe on the phone screen curiously. Little Tiancai subconsciously called out, "Hello, brother Lu Zhe."
Little Su Ning reminded him in a childish tone, "Sister said he is your brother-in-law."
"Yes, yes, Ningning has a good memory." Su Ci smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch her brother's chubby face.
He really made his sister proud!
Xiao Tiancai immediately corrected his mistake and shouted loudly, "Hello, brother-in-law."
Su Ci smiled so much that her eyes narrowed. She turned the screen towards herself and said, "Lu Zhe, they called you brother-in-law, didn't you say anything?"
On the other end of the phone, Lu Zhe's dark eyes couldn't hide the smile. He helplessly shouted, "Tuantuan."
Su Ci valued her love more than her brother. She let the two little radishes leave, and she lay back on the bed and continued to chat with Lu Zhe.
Su's mother was watching a play on the first floor. When she saw Xiao Su Ning and Xiao Tiancai coming down after completing their task, she smiled and asked, "Did you give all the fruits to your sister?"
"Yes, I did." Xiao Su Ning held his little body up, very proud.
Xiao Tiancai also nodded.
"What is my sister doing?" Su's mother asked the two children to sit beside her.
Little Su Ning answered quickly, "My sister is chatting with her brother-in-law."
The little genius next to her reacted and said to little Su Ning, "You can't tell others that Brother Lu Zhe is my brother-in-law. This is a secret between us and my sister."
Hearing the childish words of the two children, Su's mother was stunned and her heart sank again. She knew that she couldn't let it go any longer.
...
The afternoon sun was fierce, and the scorching sun was annoying.
Lu Zhe stood straight under the tree. A white luxury car stopped in front of him. The window was lowered, revealing the well-maintained face of a woman.
The driver opened the door for Lu Zhe.
"Aunt Su." Lu Zhe got into the car and greeted Su's mother politely.
Su's mother nodded, "The experts are here. I'll take you to the hospital."
Lu Zhe: "Thank you."
The car drove smoothly, and soon they arrived at the gate of the best hospital in the city.
Su's mother got out of the car, and Lu Zhe followed behind her.
"Before going for the checkup, I want to take you to a place first." Su's mother said to Lu Zhe, "Do you mind?"
Lu Zhe's dark eyes deepened, he shook his head, and did not ask where to go, but just followed Su's mother.
Soon, led by the bodyguard, Su's mother and Lu Zhe arrived at the inpatient department.
Going up to the fifth floor, looking at the "freezing area" marked in the corridor, Lu Zhe pursed his thin lips.
This floor is full of patients with frostbite. Some can only sit in wheelchairs, their bodies are atrophied and they have difficulty moving. Some can no longer walk, and even breathing and eating are difficult. They can only lie in bed and rely on nutrient solution to maintain their lives.
Lu Zhe followed Su's mother quietly, passing by the patient wards one by one.
At this time, Su's mother said: "Lu Zhe, Ci Ci told me that she likes you."
She turned to look at the silent boy behind her. She had a little more reluctance on her face, but she still asked, "Do you like my daughter?"
