Chapter 150: Dog bites dog, a mouthful of fur
"She's pregnant and can't get too excited. If you have anything to say, just ask here."
His attitude is very tough.
The police looked at each other, and considering her status as a pregnant woman and the fact that there was only Song Ziqian's one-sided statement and no substantial evidence, they nodded.
"Okay, then, let's take your statement here. But please remember, Ms. Xu, to cooperate with our summons at any time during the investigation."
"Of course, I will cooperate."
After the police finished questioning and left, Xu Mingyue seemed to have all the strength drained out of her body, and she collapsed in Lu Tingfeng's arms.
My back was already soaked with cold sweat.
…
Sang Wan soon learned that Xu Mingyue was being questioned by the police.
She just smiled coldly, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
Whether it’s Song Ziqian or Xu Mingyue.
When dogs bite each other, both get a mouth full of fur.
Whether they are dead or alive has nothing to do with her.
Now she just wants to live in peace and wait for her baby to be born.
The dubbing work was completed successfully, and in a blink of an eye, it was only a few days away from the Chinese New Year.
The New Year atmosphere in Shenzhen is getting stronger and stronger.
That night, Lu Tingzhou came out of the study with a cell phone in his hand.
"Wanwan, I have something to tell you."
"Hmm?" Sang Wan was curled up on the sofa, reading a parenting book.
"Xiao Yan's father will come to Shencheng tomorrow."
Sang Wan paused while turning the pages of the book and looked up at him.
"Uncle Xiao?"
"Yeah." Lu Tingzhou sat down beside her and held her in his arms.
"We have a project to cooperate with Xiao Corporation, so let him come over to discuss the details of the cooperation."
He paused and continued, "Xiao Yan happens to be here too, let him participate as well."
"The Xiao family's affairs will be handed over to him sooner or later."
Sang Wan understood his intention.
Xiao Yan was careless and Xiao Ansheng had never been able to do anything about him. Lu Tingzhou had told her about this.
"So how about we have dinner together tomorrow night?"
Sang Wan nodded happily, "It should be."
As for Xiao Ansheng, when he heard that it was Lu Tingzhou who spoke personally, he naturally agreed.
He had no way to make his son change his mind, and with Lu Tingzhou around, Xiao Yan would probably not be so averse.
What's more, since Lu Tingzhou's marriage is such a big event, it is only right that he comes to congratulate him.
and……
After Xiao Ansheng hung up the phone, he was silent for a long time before he said softly, "It's time to go see her."
The next evening, Xiao Ansheng arrived in Shenzhen.
Lu Tingzhou took Sang Wan to host a banquet at the imperial court to show his hospitality.
In the box, Xiao Yan and Liu Xi were talking to Sang Wan.
The door was pushed open.
When he saw the elegant middle-aged man walking beside Lu Tingzhou, the smile on Xiao Yan's face froze instantly.
"dad?"
He almost thought he was seeing things.
"Why are you here?"
Liu Xi also quickly stood up and respectfully called out, "Uncle Xiao."
Xiao Ansheng's gaze fell on Sang Wan first.
The girl in front of me has delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a gentle temperament. She sits there quietly, like a painting in herself.
Really looks like Jingchu.
But there was a bit more softness and tranquility between her brows than that of Sang Jingchu, which came from being pampered.
Xiao Ansheng hadn't been to Shenzhen for several years. He felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and was a little dazed when he saw Sang Wan.
Sang Wan stood up and called out obediently, "Hello, Uncle Xiao."
Xiao Ansheng came back to his senses and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Please sit down."
He looked at Sang Wan, then at Lu Tingzhou beside her, and felt secretly emotional.
This child is happier than her mother.
Although Lu Tingzhou looks cold-tempered, he is a reliable and responsible man.
If Jingchu were still alive, he would be relieved to see that his daughter has found a good man.
Several people sat down.
Xiao Yan still didn't understand the situation.
"Dad, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Ansheng glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Why should I come here? My son is unreliable, so I have to work hard running around."
He turned to look at Lu Tingzhou and his tone softened.
"Tingzhou, you need to give this kid more guidance in the future."
He said to Xiao Yan earnestly, "I'm old now. You should learn how to run the company."
"There just happens to be a project in Tingzhou. You can learn from it."
Xiao Yan was even more confused.
project?
What project?
He has been here for so many days, why has he never heard Lu Tingzhou mention any project to cooperate on?
He looked at Lu Tingzhou, his eyes full of question marks.
Lu Tingzhou calmly poured him a cup of tea and said calmly, "It's a cultural tourism project that has just started."
Xiao Yan: “…”
Okay, he believed it.
The atmosphere at the dinner was very harmonious.
Xiao Ansheng looked at Sang Wan from time to time, his eyes full of the love of an elder.
After three rounds of drinks, he picked up his glass and spoke in a serious voice.
"Tingzhou, Wanwan."
His gaze moved between the two of them, finally settling on Lu Tingzhou's face.
"As your elder, I am truly happy for you when you get married."
"I hope you will live in harmony and stay together as husband and wife in the future."
He said this politely, but every word came from the heart.
Lu Tingzhou held Sang Wan's hand tightly.
He met Xiao Ansheng's gaze, his voice low and firm.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao."
"I will."
Lu Tingzhou picked up the wine glass and clinked it lightly with Xiao Ansheng.
The cup walls collided, making a crisp sound.
His voice was not loud, but it was powerful.
"I will."
These three words are his lifelong promise to Sang Wan.
Xiao Ansheng smiled with relief and drank it all in one gulp.
The atmosphere at the table became more harmonious.
Lu Tingzhou doesn't talk much, but he always takes care of Sang Wan's emotions at the most appropriate time.
He would naturally put the peeled shrimps into the plate in front of her.
Xiao Ansheng saw all this and felt more at peace.
After three rounds of drinking.
Xiao Ansheng got up and went to the bathroom.
Lu Tingzhou's eyes moved slightly, and he stood up as well.
"I'm going to have a cigarette."
He patted Xiao Yan's shoulder in a casual tone.
Sang Wan didn't think much about it and just told him to smoke less.
At the end of the corridor, in front of the sink.
Xiao Ansheng was tidying up his appearance in front of the mirror.
Lu Tingzhou walked over and handed over a cigarette.
"Uncle Xiao."
Xiao Ansheng took it, and the two stood side by side and lit a cigarette.
In the swirling smoke, Lu Tingzhou looked at Xiao Ansheng's slightly weathered profile in the mirror with deep eyes.
He flicked the ash off his cigarette seemingly unintentionally.
"Uncle Xiao, please stay a few more days this time."
"No, there's a lot of work at the company."
Xiao Ansheng blew out a puff of smoke, his voice a little unclear.
"Xiao Yan, this kid, still needs your care."
Lu Tingzhou nodded and said nothing more.
The two chatted for a while and then put out the cigarettes in their hands.
Xiao Ansheng walked in front, Lu Tingzhou winked at someone not far away, and followed him into the private room.
After dinner, Lu Tingzhou arranged a car to take Xiao Ansheng to the hotel.
Before getting in the car, he called Lin Hao.
"Did you get the stuff?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we got them all."
On the other end of the phone, Lin Hao's voice was very low.
"The cups, chopsticks, cigarette butts, and a few hairs he used. They're all sealed away."
"Send it to the identification center immediately."
Lu Tingzhou whispered an order.
"Expedite it. I want the fastest results."
"yes."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Tingzhou looked at the neon lights outside the window that were rapidly receding, and his eyes behind the lenses were deep.
Holding Sang Wan in his arms, he thought that if it was really Xiao Ansheng, it wouldn't be a bad result.
The next morning, Lu Group.
Top floor conference room.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the bustling scene of Shenzhen.
Xiao Ansheng, accompanied by an unwilling Xiao Yan, appeared in the Lu company's meeting room on time.
Lu Tingzhou had been waiting here for a long time.
Lin Hao was standing in front of the projection screen, explaining the planning and prospects of the cultural and tourism project in an orderly manner.
The data in the PPT is detailed and the analysis is accurate.
The cooperation between Lu and Xiao has never been interrupted in recent years, and this project was carried out naturally and smoothly without any flaws.
Even Lin Hao, who had been with Lu Tingzhou for many years, did not notice anything unusual.
He just thought that this was a favor that President Lu did to help President Xiao promote Xiao Yan.
Xiao Ansheng listened very carefully.
He came here with the intention of letting his son learn.
He trusts Lu Tingzhou's abilities.
As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, Xiao Ansheng made the decision on the spot.
"That's settled."
He looked at Xiao Yan, his tone brooking no room for argument.
"After the New Year, you will report to Lu's company."
"Follow Tingzhou and learn well."
Xiao Yan's handsome face fell and he became completely dejected.
He glared at Lu Tingzhou resentfully.
This guy definitely did it on purpose.
His carefree days are completely over.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have given him face and signed with his crappy film and television company.
Now, they are not allowed to shoot movies and are directly packaged up and thrown into business.
Lu Tingzhou received his accusing gaze and pushed his glasses up with an indifferent expression.
As if to say: Got a problem? Keep it to yourself.
Xiao Ansheng said earnestly, "Tingyuan and I are brothers. Ayan should call you uncle. If he doesn't understand something in the future, just tell him. Elders don't have so many taboos towards the younger generation."
Xiao Yan's face became even more bitter when he heard this. He couldn't bring himself to call Lu Tingzhou uncle.
Lu Tingzhou felt guilty after hearing this. If Xiao Ansheng was really Sang Wan's biological father, how could he let Xiao Yan call him uncle? Wouldn't that be a mess?
Uncle becomes brother-in-law, this transformation...
"Mr. Xiao, you're joking. Your relationship with my brother is yours, and my relationship with A Yan is mine. You can't count it that way."
…
In the afternoon, North Suburb Cemetery.
The cemetery in winter is desolate and quiet.
A black Bentley slowly stopped not far away.
Xiao Ansheng got out of the car with a bunch of daisies in his hand.
It is Sang Jingchu's favorite flower.
He dismissed the driver and walked alone towards the depths of the cemetery.
Lu Tingzhou's car followed him silently like a shadow.
He looked at the elegant figure walking among the scattered tombstones, and finally stopped at the place in his memory.
Tomb of Sang Jingchu.
The woman in the photo has gentle eyes and a faint smile.
This is Xiao Ansheng's second visit since Sang Jingchu passed away.
He gently placed the bouquet of daisies in front of the tombstone.
There was still dew on the petals, which looked particularly plain against the gray stone tablet.
He said nothing.
He just bent down and carefully wiped the dust off the tombstone with a handkerchief.
The movements were gentle, with an almost pious caution.
After doing all this, he sat on the ground in front of the tombstone.
He took out a cigarette box from his pocket and lit one.
He smoked silently, watching the smoke rise and dissipate in the cold air.
His eyes were filled with compassion and endless memories.
It’s like having a silent conversation with someone from another time and space.
Finished a cigarette.
He lit a second one.
Until the spark of the second cigarette flickered at his fingertips and was about to burn out.
Lu Tingzhou walked over.
