Chapter 85 Twins
Lu Tingzhou's words were cold and hard, piercing Lu Qishan's heart.
"presumptuous!"
Lu Qishan slammed the armrest, veins popping out on the back of his hand, and he was filled with anger.
"I'm your father! Is that how you talk to me?"
Lu Tingzhou's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, but there was no smile in his eyes, only unmelted ice.
"so what?"
He asked back calmly, his eyes looking as if he was looking at an unreasonable stranger.
"Just because you're my father, I have to let the eldest and second families come around and bite me like hyenas smelling blood?"
"You pushed me into a corner and then threw me to the branch office to fend for myself. Have you ever considered my feelings?"
Lu Qishan was choked by him and his face turned the color of liver.
He had always believed that of all his sons, Lu Tingzhou was the one who resembled him the most. Just as ruthless, just as ambitious.
That's why he has to grind.
Jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved. This hardest bone must naturally be struck with the most brutal means.
"I'm optimistic about you!"
Lu Qishan tried to maintain his father's authority, but his voice unconsciously weakened.
"Your temper is most similar to mine. I want to train you and see where your limits are!"
"exercise?"
Lu Tingzhou laughed lowly as if he had heard the funniest joke of the century, and his laughter was full of chill.
"There are hundreds of ways to exercise, but you chose the most extreme and harmful one."
He raised his eyes, his gaze piercing Lu Qishan like a sharp sword.
"From childhood to adulthood, what have you given me? Nothing but harshness."
The old man refused to give in, "If it weren't for my strictness, would you be able to achieve what you have today?"
"Without your strictness, I might be a better person."
Lu Tingzhou was nonchalant.
"You..." Lu Qishan pounded the sofa, "You want to piss me off to death."
"You should be thankful that I'm not dead, otherwise you'd be in for a real fight."
Lu Qishan was startled, "What do you mean?"
Lu Tingzhou raised his eyelids and said, "I suspect that the car accident in Beijing was not an accident."
The old man's pupils suddenly constricted, and he stared at Lu Tingzhou intently, "What did you say?"
"Because of Sang Wan's mother, I re-investigated the car accident in Beijing and found some clues."
"You...what nonsense are you talking about? Although your eldest brother has been in the company before, he has a gentle temperament. How could he possibly do something to you?"
"The second brother was abroad at the time. He didn't have a chance."
"Just because it's impossible for my eldest brother doesn't mean it's impossible for the people around him."
Lu Qishan also had doubts about that car accident. His third son almost died, and there was also... another person dead in the car.
But the investigation report at that time made it clear that it was an accident.
So he had no doubts.
"The police investigated it all that year, and the course of events is very clear. It wasn't man-made."
Lu Tingzhou sneered, "According to the clues I've found, Sun Meixi gave Song Xinran one million before the car accident. What's the relationship between the two of them?"
He leaned forward slightly, and a strong sense of oppression instantly enveloped the entire living room.
"One is the eldest young lady of the Lu family, and the other is a newly graduated college student. They had no connection at all before this."
"Why would two people who had no connection with each other suddenly have financial dealings?"
Every word was like a nail, driving deeply into Lu Qishan's heart and shattering his self-righteous cognition.
His lips trembled and he couldn't utter a word.
Sun Meixi... How could it be possible...
Lu Tingzhou looked at his shocked expression without any emotion and continued to drop bombshells.
"Think about it again, why did Big Brother suddenly want to become a monk?"
"If he didn't feel guilty, why would he, a layman with unfinished worldly ties, run to that ancient temple in the mountains to spend the rest of his life under the guidance of a green lamp and an ancient Buddha?"
Lu Qishan stood up suddenly, and because he was too excited, his vision was black.
He held onto the back of the sofa and managed to stand firmly.
"Your elder brother... that was because of Sang Jingchu!"
He was breathing heavily. Lu Tingyuan and his wife had been stumbling around for half their lives because of Sang Jingchu's existence.
It’s just that the youngest son has never paid attention to these things, and after the eldest son got married, he didn’t want to mention it again.
"The person who died in that car accident was Sang Jingchu! She has always been the one your eldest brother loves!"
Lu Tingzhou pressed his cheek with the tip of his tongue. He was standing not far away and heard everything Sang Wan and Lu Tingyuan said yesterday.
"Do you think that Big Brother is really so heartbroken that he wants to become a monk because of Sang Jingchu?"
Lu Tingzhou's voice was calm, almost cruelly so.
"He and Sun Meixi had two children."
Lu Qishan was stunned, obviously understanding what he meant.
Lu Tingzhou spoke slowly, "If you say that the unborn child was an accident, it was the product of a family marriage."
"What about Jinxuan?"
Lu Tingzhou pressed on, "If he really wanted Sang Jingchu, why would he have Lu Jinxuan? And why has he been with Sun Meixi for over twenty years?"
"Sang Jingchu is married. Does your elder brother want to..."
Lu Tingzhou sneered, "If it were me, I could become a monk just because a woman left, but I would never touch another woman. I don't doubt that Big Brother loves Sang Jingchu, but his love is not that pure."
Lu Qishan was speechless after hearing what he said. He opened his mouth but nothing came out.
“So, there is only one truth.”
Lu Tingzhou leaned back on the sofa, his posture lazy, but every word he said was heart-wrenching.
"He loves Sang Jingchu, but he has buried it deep in his heart."
"Ms. Sang's departure was only the trigger for him to give up everything and become a monk."
Dead silence.
There was a suffocating silence in the living room.
Lu Qishan seemed to have had all his strength drained away. He slowly fell back onto the sofa, his eyes empty and blank.
He muttered to himself, "Why on earth?"
"I will investigate these matters one by one and get to the bottom of them."
Lu Tingzhou's voice sounded again, with a resoluteness that left no room for questioning.
"You are old and in poor health, so don't get involved."
He paused, then looked up at Lu Qishan, his eyes filled with a barely perceptible trace of fatigue and alienation.
"If you think that handing Lu's company over to me is a huge advantage for me."
"It doesn't matter."
"You can give it to your second brother now, or... give it to Jinxuan."
"I don't mind."
After saying that, he stood up, without even looking at Lu Qishan, and walked straight towards the stairs.
That tall and straight back was as resolute as a sword drawn from its sheath, with no possibility of turning back.
Lu Qishan stared blankly at the direction where Lu Tingzhou disappeared, and after a long time he stood up and left tremblingly.
Sang Wan was a little tired, so she took a shower when she came back and was now lying on the bed.
Seeing Lu Tingzhou come in with an expressionless face, he knew that the conversation between father and son must not have gone well.
She stood up and got underwear and pajamas for Lu Tingzhou, "Go take a shower first."
Lu Tingzhou met her worried eyes and reached out to hug her.
"I'm fine. Just lie down if you're tired."
Lu Tingzhou was unwilling to tell Sang Wan about his doubts. It was enough for him to bear all these things alone.
…
The next day, Sang Wan slept until ten o'clock and asked Su Mo and Qi Qi to accompany her to the hospital in the afternoon.
Although I am sure that I am pregnant, I still need to go to the hospital to check various indicators to feel at ease.
When Su Mo learned that she might be pregnant, she opened her mouth in shock.
"Wanwan, you're too quick. It only took a short time for the man to get his hands on her, and the child is already reported."
Sang Wan was a little embarrassed. "It was an accident, an accident."
While waiting for the test results, Su Mo leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Does Lu Tingzhou know?"
Sang Wan shook her head. "I haven't told him yet. I'll tell him later."
Thinking that his birthday was at the beginning of next month, Sang Wan couldn't help but purse her lips.
"You look like you're planning to have a baby."
Sang Wan's expression couldn't be seen clearly because she was wearing a mask, but her eyes flickered, and she was obviously shocked that Su Mo would have such an idea.
"Of course I will. Why not? Giving birth to a child for the man I love and for both of us would be such a blessing."
Su Mo was a little envious, "Yes, you have to give birth. I'm afraid that you feel that your career is on the rise and you don't want to have children."
"I entered the entertainment industry by accident, and the career I love has just begun."
When Sang Wan said this, Su Mo understood, "Don't worry, I will supervise the decoration process. Once it is completed, we can officially start our business."
Qi Qi came over with the test results, excited but a little disappointed. "Sister Wan, should we tell Sister Wei about this? What if she can't bear your idleness and takes on another collaboration for you, or what if she completely wipes out your capital?"
Sang Wan took the test results and went to the doctor's office, and told Qi Qi, "Don't tell her, otherwise Lu Tingzhou will probably know."
Qi Qi nodded, "That's right. Sister Wei is close to Lu Jinxuan now and is handling the merger of our studio. If she knows about it, there's no guarantee that Lu Jinxuan will know."
Su Mo and Qi Qi followed Sang Wan on both sides and entered the doctor's office.
"Doctor, here's the checklist."
Sang Wan handed over the checklist and sat down.
The doctor looked at the name with a smile in his eyes, "Ms. Sang, congratulations."
Sang Wan nodded, a little calmer, "Thank you."
The doctor was curious, "Why are you so calm?"
"Because I already took a pregnancy test yesterday." Sang Wan smiled.
"Have you read the inspection report carefully?"
Sang Wan and Qi Qi were both stunned. The result they saw confirmed an intrauterine pregnancy, six weeks pregnant.
The doctor saw their reaction and knew that they hadn't looked carefully. He pushed the examination report in front of her and said, "Take a closer look."
Sang Wan looked at the inspection report carefully, this time reading it word by word from the beginning.
Uterine size, shape...
Double yolk sacs, 4mm*5mm on the left and 5mm*6mm on the right, with primitive cardiovascular pulsation.
Of course Sang Wan understood what the double yolk sac meant. She stared at the doctor with wide eyes, then looked at the two people beside her.
"Double protection?"
After asking these three words with joy and surprise, she took off her mask.
The doctor looked at her beautiful and bright face, smiled and nodded, "Congratulations."
