Chapter 89 I guess you are the biological son of the Lu family
In the dim light, a sharp light flashed in Duan Jingyao's eyes. He curled the corners of his lips, put his hands lazily in his trouser pockets, stood straight, and watched quietly as the graceful figure approached him.
It wasn't until she walked in front of him and he could see her face clearly that he spoke: "Miss Meng, you sound jealous."
Meng Anran was in no mood to chat with him. "Tell me, what's going on?"
"I simply want to cultivate some feelings with Miss Meng." Duan Jingyao caught her off guard and hooked his arm around Meng Anran's waist. He leaned in close, looking down at her charming peach blossom eyes. "I like you very much. You're very smart."
If his eyes weren't so playful, perhaps the scene would be a little ambiguous, but now Meng Anran only felt provocation.
“Crack!”
The light flashed across the huge and lonely space like a flash of lightning. Meng Anran looked out the window vigilantly and saw a figure flash by and disappear in the corridor.
She understood and turned her gaze to the man in front of her with interest. She gently pushed him away and he let go without any regrets.
It was obvious that this was done on purpose so that the person taking the photos outside could capture some interesting scenes.
Meng Anran leaned against the table, her tone lazy, "Tell me, what is your purpose in repeatedly plotting to drag me into this scheme?"
"Can't it be that I simply like you?"
"Oh, do you believe what you said?"
Duan Jingyao leaned on the table on the other side, facing Meng Anran, his eyes revealing a bit of danger, "I just said, I like your cleverness. Why don't you guess it?"
Meng Anran tilted her head back slightly, her eyes rolling around as if she was lost in thought. "If I had to guess..." Her gaze suddenly fell on Duan Jingyao's face, so sharp that it seemed to pierce through him. "I guess you are the Lu family's biological son."
Even Duan Jingyao, who was as insidious as a venomous snake, felt a flash of panic in his heart at this moment. He quickly recovered and raised the corner of his lips, "Your guess is bolder than I thought."
"It's definitely bold to rely on speculation alone, but if it has been confirmed, do you think it should be called bold or ridiculous?" Meng Anran curled the corners of his lips, with an attitude that he had already won.
Duan Jingyao laughed contemptuously. "I never reveal my identity or address at school. It should be difficult for you to place spies around me, right? And how could you possibly get my hair?"
"Who told you that hair is required for genetic testing?" Meng Anran tilted her head innocently. "Don't forget we had dinner together."
As the owner of Yandu Hotel, how difficult could it be to entertain guests at Yandu Hotel and then ask the employees to keep the tableware used by Duan Jingyao after the banquet?
Duan Jingyao stared at Meng Anran quietly for a while, then suddenly raised the corner of his lips to reveal a sinister smile, "So you started to doubt me before that, and invited me to dinner just to get my DNA. You're smarter than I thought."
"I wouldn't say I doubted you. I just thought you were too mysterious at the time, so I was wary. Later, when I was taking Lu Qingcheng's DNA for testing, I suddenly had an idea and sent yours as well. Who knew I would actually uncover such a big secret?"
"Then why don't you expose me?"
"Why should I expose you?" Meng Anran took out a lollipop from his pocket, tore off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth. "Your feud with the Lu family has nothing to do with me."
She was still as detached as ever. As long as she was sure that Duan Jingyao was not targeting her, she would let him make trouble no matter what he did, even if he demolished the Lu family's house, it had nothing to do with her.
"Since you know this, how about we join forces?" Duan Jingyao offered an olive branch, "Together, let's bring down the Lu family."
Meng Anran waved her hand, "Not interested."
Duan Jingyao raised his eyebrows in surprise. "As soon as Lu Qingcheng showed up, the Lu family kicked you out, the daughter they had raised for over a decade. Don't you hate them?"
Meng Anran smiled, "Do you really think I was kicked out by the Lu family?"
"What else?"
"Do you think the Lu family is a good place?" Meng Anran sat down at the table, crossed her legs, and said leisurely, "The only value a girl has for the Lu family is marriage. I was planning to leave long before Lu Qingcheng came to recognize her as my relative."
At this point, she paused and glanced at Duan Jingyao. "Although I don't know how you ended up in Hai City and became the Duan family's child, Bai Yujin and Lu Zhong originally planned to have another son. If you hadn't been swapped, there wouldn't have been this drama of the real and fake daughter."
Duan Jingyao narrowed his eyes, "You mean, Bai Yujin wants a son?"
"Yes, the Lu family is wealthy and powerful, and only sons have the right of inheritance. Lu Yi was rebellious since childhood and could not be trusted. Bai Yujin wanted to have another son to prevent Lu Heng's family from being the only one in power. However, she unexpectedly gave birth to a daughter. Her health was not good, so she could not have a fourth child, so she gave up."
Meng Anran spoke very easily, without hiding anything, and seemed unable to see the complexity of Duan Jingyao's emotions at the moment.
Duan Jingyao has begun to doubt his life. Why is the truth he heard not like this?
He suppressed his increasingly confused thoughts and continued to ask, "What did you mean when you said just now that the Lu family is not a good place?"
"Girls are tools for marriage, and boys are machines for managing the company. Bai Yujin and Lu Zhong have no love for each other. They just give birth to children out of necessity. How much love can they have for their children?"
Meng Anran jumped down from the table and patted Duan Jingyao on the shoulder. "You should be thankful that you didn't grow up in the Lu family. That place is not a place for raising people. If you really want to take revenge on the Lu family, instead of joining forces with me, you should go find Lu Heng."
At this moment, Duan Jingyao suddenly felt that he had been living in a huge scam for the past eighteen years. He had always thought that Bai Yujin and Lu Zhong wanted a daughter, so they abandoned him after giving birth to him.
But what he learned from Meng Anran was another story, a story he had never heard of and even dared not to imagine.
"You won't lie to me, will you?" He glanced at Meng Anran suspiciously. He and Meng Anran didn't have much friendship, so it was hard to say whether she would deliberately deceive him.
Meng Anran scoffed silently, "What good would it do me if I lied to you? You've been studying at Shenghua for two and a half years. You should have quite a few informants in the Beijing circle, right? Outsiders may not know the specific situation within the Lu family, but you can go and find out about the ridiculous things Lu Heng and Lu Yi have done over the years. You will understand that if you grew up in a loving family, you would not become like this."
Hearing Meng Anran's affirmative yet sarcastic tone, Duan Jingyao believed it a little, or perhaps he also thought from the bottom of his heart that Meng Anran had no reason to deceive him.
Judging from the contact during this period, he had tried many times to stir up Meng Anran's hatred towards Lu Qingcheng but to no avail, which was enough to prove that Meng Anran had lived in the Lu family for seventeen years but had no feelings for the Lu family.
Indirectly, it also shows that Meng Anran is not valued in the Lu family.
Regardless of how the Lu family raises their children, Meng Anran's attitude towards the Lu family has already proved that Bai Yujin's statement that she abandoned him because she wanted a daughter is a big lie.
Duan Jingyao took a deep breath and smiled sadly and cunningly, "The last stop of the study tour is Hai City. Are you interested in... meeting my aunt?"
