Chapter 82 Are You My Biological Father?
Qi Qi didn't dare to ask her where she was going, but she must have a reason for wanting to go.
"Okay, let's go after dinner."
Xue Min got up and went to the kitchen. "I'll pack some food for you in a thermos box. You can eat it if you get hungry on the way."
"Thank you, Aunt Xue."
"You're still being polite to Aunt Xue. I wish I could stick a few pounds of flesh on you, you're so skinny."
Sang Wan pretended to be relaxed and said, "I don't want it. It's too ugly."
Xue Min smiled and said, "Even if I put on another ten pounds, I wouldn't look fat."
After dinner, Sang Wan and Qi Qi set off without telling anyone where they were going.
…
At this time, Song Xinran and Song Ziqian were watching Kaikai playing in the yard.
Song Xinran held her phone tightly, her delicate makeup a little distorted.
Lu Tingzhou used to come visit Kaikai when he was free, but now he obviously spends less time with the child.
"Mom, when will Uncle Lu come to see me?"
Kaikai has been asking this question these days because Lu Tingzhou hasn't come to see the child for nearly two weeks.
"Son, go play first. Uncle Lu is busy. Mom will take you to see him in a couple of days."
She felt a little sorry for her son. The child liked to be close to Lu Tingzhou since he was a child. Because he was angry with her, Lu Tingzhou deliberately distanced himself from her, and as a result, she had fewer opportunities to see the child.
"It's all that bitch Sang Wan's fault. If it weren't for her, how could Lu Tingzhou not come to see Kaikai for so long?"
Song Ziqian gritted her teeth, thinking of the hatred on Sang Wan's face.
"I suspect Sang Wan is pregnant!"
Song Xinran pursed her lips tightly, with hatred mixed with loss.
Lu Tingzhou is such a cold and aloof man, but one day he would fall at the feet of a woman.
This was something she never dared to dream of.
Song Ziqian stood up suddenly and asked, "Are you pregnant?"
Song Xinran sighed, "Sun Meixi and I also have our doubts. Judging from her reaction, she probably doesn't know yet."
Song Ziqian gritted her teeth and sneered, "So what if she's pregnant?"
"It's her accomplishment to be able to give birth to a child."
Song Xinran's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "That makes sense."
"Let's find someone to keep a close eye on her first. If she's really pregnant, we have plenty of ways to make her have an 'accidental miscarriage'."
While the two sisters were plotting how to make an unborn life disappear, a black nanny car was speeding on the highway leading to the neighboring province.
Outside the car window, the trees have withered and it looks like it's going to rain.
It was very quiet in the car.
Qi Qi held the steering wheel, his palms slightly sweaty, and looked at Sang Wan's condition from time to time.
From the rearview mirror, she could only see Sang Wan's pale profile. She leaned against the car window and looked out.
During this time, Sang Wan's phone rang no less than ten times, but she didn't answer it.
Because they were all from the same person.
Sang Wan didn't know how to tell him. If this matter could not be confirmed, she didn't know how to face him.
The eight-hour drive seemed long to Sang Wan.
She wanted to drive, but Qi Qi refused to let her.
So the two of them walked for ten hours, and when they arrived at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
The night is as dark as ink, and the mountains are towering, like a silent giant beast, crawling on the horizon, making it hard to breathe.
The twinkling stars on the hillside seemed like divine guidance in the darkness.
The temple did not allow pilgrims to stay at night, so the two found a clean hotel at the foot of the mountain to stay.
As soon as the light in the room was turned on, Sang Wan's phone started vibrating wildly again. The three words "Lu Tingzhou" were jumping on the screen, as if they were scorching hot.
She stared at the name, but did not move.
The phone rang tirelessly, over and over again.
Finally, at the last second before the call was about to be automatically hung up, Sang Wan pressed the answer button.
"Sang Wan."
The man's voice came from the receiver, low and hoarse, wrapped in suppressed anger and worry that was about to overflow.
"Where are you?"
Sang Wan's throat tightened and he couldn't utter a word.
"I'm asking you, where exactly are you?" His voice suddenly rose, and he was out of control more than ever before.
"I've already asked Bai Wei, and the company doesn't have any temporary promotional videos at all."
Sang Wan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke softly, "Qiqi and I went on a trip. She said the snow scenery in the mountains is the most beautiful at this time."
"I'm sorry, Tingzhou. I was afraid you wouldn't allow it, so... I lied."
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
It was so long that Sang Wan thought he had hung up the phone.
After a long time, Lu Tingzhou's voice sounded again. His anger had dissipated a little, leaving only the thick fatigue and helplessness.
"Send me the address."
"No need, we just want to relax and we will be back in two days." Sang Wan hurriedly refused.
"Sang Wan," he called her name, emphasizing each word, "Don't make me worry anymore."
"I'm fine. Besides, I'm not a child anymore. Don't worry."
"We're going to a bonfire party later. I won't tell you about it yet. Just take care of yourself and don't worry about me."
After hanging up the phone, Sang Wan collapsed onto the bed, burying her face deeply in the pillow.
Lu Tingzhou had felt something was wrong since last night, and now that this person had lost contact again today, he couldn't help but think about it.
I suppressed my emotions and called Lin Hao.
"Have you found out?"
"Mr. Lu, we've confirmed that Miss Sang's car got on the highway to the neighboring province. But we haven't found her whereabouts yet."
Lu Tingzhou was puzzled. Why did Sang Wan suddenly go to Lin Province?
Lin Province reminded him of his elder brother in Qingfeng Temple.
Without caring about anything else, he went straight to Lu Jinxuan's residence.
Lu Jinxuan was playing games. When he saw him coming, he was shocked and scared so much that he quickly turned off the monitor.
"Uncle, I just play occasionally."
It was almost eleven o'clock and he was having fun. Who would have thought that someone who never came to his place would suddenly come in.
The servant didn't say a word.
Lu Jinxuan felt uneasy, like a student caught making a mistake by his teacher.
"Has Sang Wan looked for you?"
As soon as he said this, Lu Jinxuan licked his lips. How could he say this?
But Sang Wan told him not to tell.
but……
"Speak, or you'll go to the Western Company tomorrow."
"No, uncle, you can't take it out on me because you can't find your wife."
Lu Tingzhou stared at him, his eyes cold, "How do you know my wife is missing?"
Lu Jinxuan...
"say."
With a loud shout, Lu Jinxuan shuddered violently.
"I...I just guessed."
He rolled his eyes and looked at Lu Tingzhou, his face was cold and scary.
He murmured softly, "If Sister Wan were here, would you be willing to come out?"
Lu Tingzhou kicked him on the butt and said, "Tell the truth."
Faced with such a strong pressure, he backed down. "She asked where my dad was. She met with my mom yesterday at noon. My mom must have said something unpleasant, and she wanted my dad to persuade her."
After saying this, he looked miserable and thought to himself: Aunt, you can't blame me. You think too highly of me. My uncle is not someone I can handle.
…
The next day, the morning light was dim.
The bell sounds of Qingfeng Temple are long and distant, clearing away the mist in the mountains.
Sang Wan walked alone on the bluestone road leading to the temple.
After entering Qingfeng Temple, he asked about Master "Chen Yuan".
Lu Jinxuan told her that his father's Buddhist name was "Chen Yuan" and he had been practicing here three years ago and had never stepped out of the temple since then.
Sang Wan found him in a corner of the ancient and solemn Main Hall.
He was wearing the simplest blue-gray monk's robe, with a thin back. He was kneeling on a cushion, hitting the wooden fish with a wooden hammer in his hand.
He was muttering to himself.
Reciting scriptures.
Boom, boom, boom.
Each sound drifted in the empty hall, hollow and sad.
Sang Wan walked closer step by step and stood behind him.
Perhaps he felt being watched, so he slowed down his tapping and turned back slowly.
The moment he saw Sang Wan's face clearly—
“Snap!”
The gavel slipped from his hand and collided with the wooden fish, making a harsh sound that was particularly abrupt in the empty hall.
His pupils suddenly shrank, and waves appeared in his eyes, which should have been calm.
Shock, pain, disbelief...
Sang Wan knew that he recognized her.
Even though I have never seen her before, this face that is 60% similar to my mother Sang Jingchu is enough to explain everything.
The next second, Lu Tingyuan suddenly stood up and staggered out as if he was escaping.
"Master Chen Yuan, excuse me for interrupting you. May I bother you for a moment?"
"Donor, you've got the wrong person." There was panic in the hoarse voice.
"It can't be wrong. Jinxuan told me you were here. Your Buddhist name is Chenyuan. It can't be wrong."
Lu Tingyuan walked quickly towards the meditation room, and Sang Wan followed him quickly.
"If I really recognized the wrong person, why are you hiding?"
Sang Wan quickly stepped forward, opened his arms, and blocked his way.
She raised her head, looked directly into his frightened eyes, and said firmly, "I'm here to find you, Lu Tingyuan."
"I... am a monk." He avoided her gaze and clasped his hands together. "Mundane affairs have nothing to do with me. Please go back, benefactor."
"It's irrelevant?" Sang Wan smiled sadly. "If you can truly achieve a pure mind, why would you be so anxious to leave when you see me?"
Lu Tingyuan's body stiffened and his face turned paler.
He quickly walked around her and headed towards the Zen room in the backyard.
Sang Wan followed closely behind.
The two walked one in front and one behind, passing through the long corridor and finally stopped outside the Zen courtyard.
"Donor, it's against the rules for you to follow me like this." Lu Tingyuan was helpless as Sang Wan chased him and stopped.
"I just have something to ask you. This matter is very important to me. I hope you can tell me the truth."
"I am no longer a mortal. I cut off worldly affairs the day I converted to Buddhism. Please do not cling to them."
He wanted to leave, but Sang Wan blocked his way and refused to move.
The wind rustled the evergreen trees in the yard.
Sang Wan looked at his resolute expression and asked the question that was weighing on her mind.
"you tell me……"
Her voice was trembling, which was in stark contrast to her resolute appearance. It seemed as if she had used all her strength to say every word.
"Are you... my biological father?"
The air solidified at this moment.
Lu Tingyuan's originally stiff back showed a slight relaxation when he heard these words.
It was as if a heavy shackle had been lifted off.
