Chapter 141 Getting a Certificate
Sang Wan was silent for a while, as if organizing his words.
"My mother...she's a very proud person."
"Since she chose to raise me alone and never mentioned that person, it means that in her heart, that person doesn't deserve, or shouldn't know about my existence."
Her voice was calm, without resentment or longing, just a kind of calmness that was almost fatalistic.
“She gave me the best answer.”
"Besides, it's been twenty-six years, Lu Tingzhou."
She raised her head, the scattered lights outside the window reflected in her peach blossom eyes, clear and distant.
"He never showed up."
"Maybe he doesn't know, maybe he doesn't care, maybe he has his own family."
"Whichever it is, it makes no difference to me."
"I'm fine now. I have grandpa, friends, you and the baby."
"I have no regrets."
Her words were like an impenetrable wall, blocking out all exploration.
Lu Tingzhou was speechless for a moment.
The Xiao Ansheng he knew was not a irresponsible person.
There must be some misunderstanding here.
But he couldn't say anything until everything was clear.
He didn't want to give her hope, but in the end he extinguished that hope with his own hands.
That's too cruel.
"Okay." He finally chose to respect her idea and ruffled her hair. "I'll do as you say."
But in my heart, the idea of investigation became more and more firm.

Early the next morning.
Sang Wan went to the recording studio.
Lu Tingzhou personally sent her to the door. Before getting out of the car, he held the back of her head and kissed her.
"I'll pick you up at noon."
"Then, we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Sang Wan's heart warmed and she nodded, "Okay."
For her safety, Lu Tingzhou sent more people.
Beside the black nanny car, besides the driver, there were two stern-looking bodyguards.
Bai Wei followed her closely, looking around vigilantly.
This scene made other people in the recording studio look at each other with a bit of surprise.
Song Ziqian stood at the corner of the corridor holding a cup of coffee, looking at Sang Wan surrounded by the crowd, with cold sweat oozing out of her palms.
Not just the police.
Lu Tingzhou's people are also investigating.
Overwhelming.
She tried to contact Xu Mingyue yesterday, but found that her phone was turned off and her WeChat messages were not replied.
She seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
Song Ziqian knew with her toes that it must be Lu Tingfeng who hid her.
For the baby in her belly.
What about her?
Who is she?
A chess piece that can be discarded at any time.
A chill rushed from the soles of Song Ziqian's feet to the top of her head.
She had no doubt that once the police really caught those thugs who took bribes to do things, Lu Tingfeng would not hesitate to push her out as a scapegoat.
Her heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, and she could hardly breathe.
Just then, Sang Wan came over.
She paused as she passed by Song Ziqian.
Song Ziqian's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously clenched her coffee cup.
Sang Wan didn't look at her, but his gaze seemed to carry weight, and he deliberately stayed on her for two seconds.
There was no anger or questioning in that look.
There is only a kind of all-knowing calm.
Quiet and eerie.
Then, without saying anything, she walked straight into the recording studio in her high heels.
Song Ziqian seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and she could only stand firmly with her back against the cold wall.
She knows.
Sang Wan, do you know now?
The soundproof glass of the recording studio completely isolates the noise from the outside world.
Sang Wan was wearing headphones, and Song Ziqian's panic-stricken face flashed through her mind.
She didn't feel the slightest bit of pleasure.
There is only a kind of tiredness after the dust has settled.
Jealousy can distort a person. Song Ziqian has been jealous of her from the very beginning. Even if Song Xinran had not happened, they would still be rivals.
After a busy morning, Sang Wan came out of the recording studio feeling a little tired.
The midday sun was shining brightly, casting a golden glow on the ground through the windows in the corridor.
Lu Tingzhou was standing in that light.
He didn't wear his usual dark suit today, but a well-tailored light gray casual outfit. Behind his glasses, there was a gentle smile in his eyes.
It feels like I've been waiting for a long time.
Sang Wan's heart suddenly softened.
She walked towards him.
The sound of high heels hitting the ground, tap, tap, tap.
Every step seemed to be stepping on his heart.
"Let's go."
Lu Tingzhou took her hand and held her fingers tightly.
His palms were warm and dry, carrying a reassuring power.
"Where are you going?" Sang Wan's eyes curved into a cunning arc.
"Let's go eat first," Lu Tingzhou lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Then, let's go to a place where you can legitimately control me."
***
It was very quiet in the car.
The two of them didn't go to any high-end restaurant, but found a private restaurant near the Civil Affairs Bureau that looked clean and elegant.
A booth by the window blocks out the view from the outside world.
Sang Wan had no appetite.
It’s not that I can’t eat, but my heart is filled with an inexplicable emotion.
Anticipation, nervousness, and a little bit of unreality.
She held the chopsticks and poked the rice in the bowl intermittently.
Lu Tingzhou glanced at her and put the piece of sweet and sour fish from his bowl into hers.
"Nervous?" he asked.
"No." Sang Wan said stubbornly.
"Your palms are sweating." Lu Tingzhou didn't expose her, but just gently stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips.
Sang Wan's face flushed slightly.
"Lu Tingzhou."
"Um?"
"I'll take care of the rest of my life, please."
Lu Tingzhou paused in picking up the food.
He raised his eyes, his gaze calm and focused, as if he wanted to see into her heart.
"Wanwan, thank you for letting me get what I wanted."
Lu Tingzhou held her hand, and they looked at each other and smiled.
***
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Civil Affairs Bureau.
Because Lu Tingzhou had given notice in advance, they took a special passage and did not attract anyone's attention.
The staff member in charge of registration was a kind middle-aged lady.
She looked at the perfect couple in front of her, unable to hide the smile in her eyes.
"You two, are you sure you want to marry voluntarily?"
"yes."
"yes."
Two voices, one deep and one soft, spoke in unison.
The red seal was stamped down.
With a "pop" sound.
It was very light, but it felt like a heavy hammer hitting Sang Wan's heart.
From then on, the dust settled.
From then on, they depended on each other.
The staff handed over two brand new red books.
"Congratulations to you two, and happy wedding."
Sang Wan reached out to take it, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Lu Tingzhou took both red books before her.
He opened it and looked at the photo on it.
In the photo, they are snuggling together with smiles on their faces.
A match made in heaven.
He took out his cell phone, pointed it at the marriage certificate, and took a picture with a click.
Sang Wan leaned over to take a look curiously.
I saw him skillfully open WeChat and post a circle of friends.
There is no extra text, just a photo with five words.
【There is good wine tonight】
Simple, direct, with a sense of pride that is announced to the world.
Then he opened Weibo again.
Since opening his personal Weibo account, he has only posted one official Weibo post announcing the news between the two of them.
Grass grows all year round.
At this moment, the second one came.
It’s still that photo.
Caption: [From this moment on, I am Sang Wan's husband. Please take good care of me. @桑晚]
Sang Wan couldn't help laughing as she watched his series of childish and high-profile behaviors.
Mr. Lu, who is decisive and serious in the business world, turns out... he also has this side to him.
She silently took out her cell phone and forwarded his Weibo post.
[Mr. Lu, the rest of your life is long, follow your wife's footsteps. @Lu Tingzhou]
Almost the moment she sent it out.
Lu Tingzhou's likes and comments came.
The first comment was clearly written:
My wife told me to go left, but I never dared to go right.
The doting and indulgence in that tone almost overflowed the screen.
Sang Wan's cheeks flushed. She put away her phone and glared at him.
"childish."
Lu Tingzhou held her hand, put it to his lips and kissed it gently.
"Only childish towards you."
The two came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau playfully.
The afternoon sun is just right, warm and can melt people's hearts.
Just as he reached the door, Sang Wan's footsteps suddenly stopped.
She looked at a familiar figure not far away.
A caregiver was pushing a wheelchair and slowly walking towards this side.
The person sitting in the wheelchair is my grandfather.
"Grandpa?"
Sang Wan couldn't believe her eyes.
"Why did you bring grandpa here?"
As she spoke, she walked over quickly, squatted down, and looked at the old man in the wheelchair at eye level.
The old man was wearing a thick down jacket, his hair was neatly combed, and he looked very energetic.
But his eyes were still a little dull.
Sang Wan's heart ached and she held his wrinkled hand.
"Grandpa, I'm married."
She squatted in front of her grandfather and looked up at him.
The old man didn't respond, but just looked at her.
Watched for a long time.
It lasted so long that Sang Wan thought he was just daydreaming.
His lips suddenly moved and uttered an extremely unclear syllable.
“Evening…evening…”
The voice was hoarse and intermittent, as if it had been sandpapered.
But it was clear and entered Sang Wan's ears.
Sang Wan shuddered all over.
She looked up suddenly, and her eyes instantly turned red.
"Grandpa?"
"Are you...are you calling me?"
"I'm Wanwan!"
The old man looked at her, and there seemed to be a hint of clarity in his cloudy eyes.
He didn't say anything else.
He just grinned, revealing a childlike smile.
No response is better than a response.
Sang Wan could no longer hold back her tears, which rolled down her cheeks.
Lu Tingzhou came over, put a coat on her shoulders, and said softly: "The doctor said that grandpa's condition has improved a lot and he can recognize people occasionally."
"We are getting the marriage certificate. No one else can do it, but I hope grandpa can come to witness it."
"Thank you, Lu Tingzhou."
Sang Wan choked and couldn't speak.
Lu Tingzhou added, "I've already had the mulberry garden cleaned up, so I brought Grandpa back."
"Let's go home together and have a reunion this year."
Mulberry garden.
The place that holds all her childhood memories.
The home she thought she would never return to.
On the way home, Sang Wan still felt unreal.
Not only did she get married with Lu Tingzhou, but she could also go home with her grandfather.
At this time, the Internet was already exploding.
[Holy crap! Lu Tingzhou and Sang Wan got their marriage certificate?!]
[In my lifetime series! My dream couple has come true!]
[This official announcement is so sweet that it makes my teeth ache! ]
['I'm Sang Wan's husband', ahhhhhh, Mr. Lu is so good! His boyfriend power is overflowing!]
【Congratulations, Wanwan! I wish you happiness! 】
The topic #Lu Tingzhou and Sang Wan get their marriage certificate# rushed to the top of the hot search list at a rocket speed.
Following closely behind was #Lu Tingzhou’s wife told me to go left and I would never dare to go right#.
The entire Weibo was immersed in pink joy and blessings.
However, the harmonious atmosphere was soon broken.
A marketing account suddenly released a piece of explosive information.
