Chapter 62 Hard and Hot
Although the man was wearing dark grey casual clothes, his cold and hard aura remained unchanged.
"dad."
He called out lightly, and when his eyes fell on Song Xinran, there was no warmth in them.
Lu Qishan pointed to the sofa beside him and said, "Sit down."
Kaikai saw him and trotted over, "Uncle Lu."
Lu Tingzhou looked at Kaikai's eyebrows and eyes, which were 70% similar to Sheng An's, and his gloomy face relaxed slightly.
He bent down, picked up the child and sat him directly on his lap.
Although the old man did not force him to marry Song Xinran, he really liked Kaikai. The child had a miserable life. He was born without a father and had such a serious illness.
"I'm telling you, I've decided to let Kaikai move back to the old house."
As the old man spoke, he looked at Lu Tingzhou's sullen face.
"This will give the child a place to rely on, and it will also be an explanation to Sheng An's spirit in heaven."
Song Xinran nervously clutched the corner of her clothes, her eyes filled with unconcealable anticipation.
She looked at Lu Tingzhou, waiting for his nod.
However.
Lu Tingzhou just pinched Kaikai's face and teased him, his voice calm.
"No."
These three words, so light, made the air in the living room freeze instantly.
"I have already transferred the ownership of the house they live in to Xinran. I have also arranged for a nanny and a driver."
He put Kaikai down and asked him to go find his mother. "I will transfer all the expenses to Xinran's account regularly."
"As for Kaikai's education fund, I have also set up a special account, which is enough for him to grow up worry-free until he turns eighteen."
Every word he spoke was clear, cold, and undignified.
Although Lu Qishan felt a little reluctant to give up the child, he was not his own child after all, so he could not force him even if he was unwilling.
I am quite satisfied with his arrangement.
Song Xinran was stunned. This was completely different from what she wanted.
What she wanted was the title of Mrs. Lu. With this title, the man would be hers and his money would also be hers.
After Lu Tingzhou finished speaking, he stood up and looked at Kaikai calmly.
"This is the last thing I can do for Sheng An."
"It's also me who gives him the best explanation."
"I believe that his spirit in heaven will approve of my arrangement."
Song Xinran's mind went blank.
She couldn't figure it out.
I tried so hard to separate him and Sang Wan, but in the end I just pushed them further away.
She thought that as long as Sang Wan was gone, and with the old man's support, she would have a chance of becoming Lu Tingzhou's wife.
But now, he cut off all her thoughts in the coldest way.
He was not even willing to leave her the slightest possibility.
Song Xinran looked at his resolute back, her nails digging deeply into her palms, her eyes full of unwillingness.
Lu Tingzhou, you are so cruel.
Sun Meixi, who had been sitting there without saying anything, gritted her teeth. This Song Xinran was really disappointing. After three years, she still hadn't won over the third brother.
Because of her affairs, she was in a difficult situation during this period, causing Xu Mingyue to be detained in the police station for more than half a month. Wang Sheng blamed her, and she gave Wang Sheng a lot of money in order to keep him stable.
This resulted in the two families living in peace.
But Lu Jinxuan now feels annoyed whenever Xu Mingyue is mentioned, and he doesn't want to see her no matter what.
But now it seems that if Lu Tingzhou is still obsessed with Sang Wan, then I can't blame myself.
…
A lot can happen in a month.
Or nothing can happen.
For Lu Tingzhou, this month was like a journey through purgatory.
His world was split in two.
Half of it was made up of the piles of documents that had piled up during the day, and the other half was filled with doubts about the car accident three years ago.
The other half was the videos about her that were sent intermittently from Lin Hao and Xiao Yan late at night.
In the video, Sang Wan is wearing a costume and acting out other people's joys and sorrows in front of the camera.
She and Xiao Yan sat side by side on the steps of the set, each holding a cup of hot milk tea in her hand, with a hint of vitality in her eyes.
She even smiled faintly at Xiao Yan's camera.
Although the smile did not reach his eyes, it was like a thin layer of fragile ice that would break at the slightest touch.
But it's enough.
It was enough for Lu Tingzhou to watch it over and over again during countless sleepless nights as a solace.
That day, Lin Hao knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Lu."
His expression was as respectful as ever, yet with a hint of solemnity.
"There's still no real progress regarding the car accident three years ago. The car was long ago scrapped, and the brake system is gone, so it's difficult to determine whether it was an accident or a deliberate act."
Lu Tingzhou leaned back in his office chair, an unlit cigarette between his fingertips, his eyes dark.
"But," Lin Hao changed the subject, "I found out that just a week before the car accident, the eldest wife transferred one million yuan to Song Xinran."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Lu Tingzhou's fingers holding the cigarette paused slightly.
A hint of extremely cold hostility quickly gathered in his deep eyes.
How could Sun Meixi and Song Xinran have any connection? What kind of deal was there between them? Why did she give money to Song Xinran?
"Also," Lin Hao continued to report, a hint of subtle excitement in his voice, "all of Sang's shares have been acquired and transferred to Miss Sang's name."
Lu Tingzhou slowly raised his eyes and placed the cigarette in the ashtray.
"Investigate the correspondence between Sun Meixi and Song Xinran."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the city flowing below him.
It's been a month.
It's time for his little fox to calm down.
"Go to the film and television city."
The man's voice was low, but it was filled with a hint of excitement.
…
In the film and television city, filming is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Sang Wan seemed like a different person.
She put away all her tenderness and laziness, like a poplar facing the cold wind, straight and tough, but also exuding a sense of indifference that keeps people at a distance.
As soon as the director shouted "cut", she immediately left the scene, sat back in the corner holding the script, and was as quiet as a beautiful porcelain doll.
Until that man appeared.
He didn't disturb anyone and just stood quietly at the edge of the set, in the shadows where the lights couldn't reach.
The well-tailored black windbreaker made his figure look even taller and more...lonely.
He just stood there, his eyes as sharp as torches, penetrating the noisy crowd and landing precisely on her.
That gaze seemed to carry real warmth, burning Sang Wan's skin.
She held the script in her hand, her knuckles tightening uncontrollably, creating several deep wrinkles on the pages.
She could feel her heartbeat, which had just calmed down, begin to roar wildly like a drum again.
Hatred, grievance, and a trace of throbbing that she herself was unwilling to admit were rampaging in her chest.
She lowered her eyes and pretended not to see.
But that gaze followed her like a shadow, no matter where she went, it was like an invisible net, covering her tightly.
one day.
Two days.
Three days.
The man is like a silent stone waiting for his wife, appearing on the set without fail.
He didn't come closer, didn't speak, but just looked at her silently and almost greedily with his bottomless eyes.
The atmosphere of the entire crew became weird because of this.
Finally, Xiao Yan couldn't bear it anymore.
Taking advantage of the break, he handed a cup of hot water to Sang Wan and lowered his voice.
"Are you really not going to talk to him?" Xiao Yan asked gently, "I've already explained the car accident to you. He was indeed in a hurry to meet someone and temporarily changed lanes, but he definitely didn't violate any traffic regulations. It was truly an accident."
Sang Wan pursed her lips and said nothing.
It was indeed an accident, which made her lose the person who loved her the most.
"Look at him," Xiao Yan raised his chin towards the shadows, "he's lost a lot of weight. He's standing there like a door god. The atmosphere on the entire crew is so low that the director can't even get angry loudly."
Sang Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Sang Wan," Xiao Yan sighed, his tone softening, "I know you have something on your mind, but running away isn't the solution."
"Go talk to him."
"Just finish what you want to say and curse at once."
Xiao Yan's words left a mark on Sang Wan's mind. The traffic accident investigation that year clearly showed that his car had indeed malfunctioned, and the truck just happened to appear there.
Sang Wan hated herself a little, but she really couldn't hate Lu Tingzhou.
I also hate myself for being useless. When I see his haggard and lonely appearance, my heart aches.
I hate myself for being so easily moved by him.
If she gets entangled with him, she will be sorry to her mother.
Although Xiao Yan's words made her feel a little shaken, it was difficult to take that step!
This is the first time that Luo Zheng has encountered such a situation in all his years of work.
He knew Lu Tingzhou and he obviously would not give up, but his presence did affect the atmosphere.
Especially because of the pressure all around him, the staff were extremely cautious.
Seeing that Sang Wan was unmoved, Luo Zheng walked up to her with a smile, "Sang Wan, you see, the atmosphere on the crew has been so low these days, everyone is trembling with fear, this is not a big deal. I don't think Tingzhou will give up easily this time, just think of it as helping me, have a good talk with him, and talk it out if you have anything to say. This stalemate is affecting the progress. Even if everyone doesn't say it out loud, they will have opinions in their hearts after a long time."
Sang Wan was persuaded by him and decided that she couldn't let her own affairs delay everyone's progress.
What's more, other actors also have schedules.
After a long time, Sang Wan took a deep breath, as if he had made some kind of decision.
She took out her cell phone and sent a message to her assistant Qi Qi.
[Let him get in the nanny car and wait for me.]
Twenty minutes later, Sang Wan finished filming.
She walked towards the nanny car parked not far away with a heavy face, and every step felt like walking on the edge of a knife.
The car door opened.
The man was sitting in the innermost part. There was no light in the car, and his face was hidden in the darkness, except for his eyes, which were surprisingly bright.
Sang Wan sat in the car, deliberately staying away from him.
She closed the car door and turned on the lights, blocking out all sounds from the outside world. The atmosphere in the small space was suffocatingly oppressive.
Lu Tingzhou looked at her.
After not seeing her for a month, she had lost a lot of weight, her face was the size of a palm, and her chin was even more pointed. The costume that had once fitted her now looked a little empty on her.
Lu Tingzhou's heart twitched, feeling sore and painful.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly."
Sang Wan was the first to break the silence, her voice as cold as ice, without a trace of emotion.
"Speak now, and get out."
Lu Tingzhou's Adam's apple rolled, and he took out a document from the briefcase beside him and handed it over.
"What is this?" Sang Wan frowned and didn't answer.
"Something your grandfather left you."
The man's voice was extremely hoarse.
"Fifty-one percent of the Sang Group's shares are now in your name."
Sang Wan looked at the document in her hand, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she looked at him in disbelief.
Lu Tingzhou knew that it would be difficult for her to accept, after all, she had been deceived by Xu Shiming for so many years.
"On your twentieth birthday, your grandfather transferred 40% of his shares to you."
"That is to say, as early as four years ago, Sang's was yours."
Lu Tingzhou looked at her, his eyes filled with anger and heartache.
It was as if something exploded in Sang Wan's mind.
At this moment, all the blood in her body rushed to her head.
Over the years, Xu Shiming always said that the company was facing operational difficulties and asked her to be understanding.
She was working hard on filming outside and never asked him for a penny.
But the woman and child he kept outside were wearing brand-name clothes, wearing limited-edition bags, living in her house, and enjoying everything that should have belonged to her with the attitude of a winner!
"Xu Shiming, how dare he!"
Sang Wan let out a suppressed roar, her whole body shaking violently. Anger and humiliation wrapped around her like vines, and she almost suffocated.
Just when she was about to collapse emotionally, a strong and warm embrace suddenly embraced her.
The familiar and domineering scent of cedar belonging to Lu Tingzhou instantly surrounded her.
Sang Wan lay in his arms and cried, gasping for breath.
After a while, she recovered a little, realized that she was in his arms, and began to struggle instantly.
"Let me go!"
