Chapter 675: Never held hands
Deng Sisi's eyes lit up for a moment, then hesitated again: "I, I don't have his phone number. We only have WeChat, and we usually contact each other on WeChat."
I rolled my eyes. This girl who usually seemed quite smart lost her brains when she met a man.
"He didn't even give you his phone number, and you still dared to sleep with him? Forget it, I'll find a way to contact him myself."
I used to be his WeChat friend, but I haven't contacted him since I came back from Europe, and I have always been wary of him, so I deleted him as a friend. So now I can only find another way.
My 'solution' was naturally Xiao Shiqiu. When I looked at him, he had already understood what I was suggesting and called Xiao Yang. "Help me get Lu Yuanqing's number. Yes, Mr. Lu from COLLIN."
Fortunately, Lu Yuanqing's phone number was not difficult to get. Ten minutes later, the two numbers were sent to Xiao Shiqiu's mobile phone, and they were thoughtfully marked as public and private respectively.
I took Xiao Shiqiu's phone, glanced at the two numbers on the screen, and breathed a sigh of relief. At least now there was a breakthrough. Now it all depended on how Lu Yuanqing would respond.
I turned to look at Deng Sisi and said in a calm tone, "I'll call Lu Yuanqing now and see what he says."
Deng Sisi nodded, a look of anticipation and uneasiness in her eyes. She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, obviously very nervous.
I took a deep breath and dialed Lu Yuanqing's private number on my phone. After a few rings, a lazy male voice came from the other end: "Hello, who is this?"
I tried to sound calm: "Hello, is this Lu Yuanqing?"
"It's me, who are you?" There was a hint of impatience in Lu Yuanqing's voice.
I said calmly, "I'm Xia Yimeng, Deng Sisi's cousin."
The voice suddenly became bright. "Miss Xia? It's really rare. Why did you think of calling me? I wonder what can I do for you, Miss Xia?"
I didn't waste any time talking to him and said directly, "Deng Sisi is pregnant, and she said the child is yours."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, followed by a chuckle: "Deng Sisi? She's pregnant? What a joke! She and I are just ordinary friends. We've never slept together. How could the child be mine?"
My heart sank. I hadn't expected Lu Yuanqing to deny it so bluntly. My tone cooled, "Lu Yuanqing, Deng Sisi has already admitted your relationship. It's no use denying it now. Since it's already happened, you'd better come over and explain it to her face to face."
Lu Yuanqing's voice was emotionless, with only a hint of sarcasm. "Is she trying to blackmail me? Deng Sisi and I are just ordinary friends. We've never even held hands. How did she get pregnant with my child?"
When I heard Lu Yuanqing's nonchalant tone, I felt annoyed. It was not because of Deng Sisi, but because I felt that this scumbag was too hateful. He got me pregnant, but he still refused to admit that they had sex.
I suppressed my temper and said coldly, "Lu Yuanqing, you are the eldest son of the Lu family, you can't be so irresponsible, right? There are many rich second-generation people in City A who have caused deaths, but you are probably the only one who dares not admit it.
But don't think you'll be alright if you don't admit it. Deng Sisi is already pregnant, and you can't escape this. If you don't want to make a big deal out of it, it's best to come over and we can talk it over."
There was a sneer from the other end of the phone, and Lu Yuanqing's tone was a little teasing: "Ms. Xia, are you mistaken? Deng Sisi and I are just ordinary friends. We have only had two meals and drank coffee a few times.
I didn't give her any water from the Daughter Kingdom river. If she's pregnant, what does it have to do with me? If you have the guts, just wait four months and do a paternity test with me!
I advise you to ask your cousin who she had an affair with to get her pregnant. I, Lu Yuanqing, dare to take responsibility for my actions. If I had slept with her, I would definitely admit it. But if I didn't do it, I won't admit it no matter how much you ask me."
After hanging up the phone, I was a little confused. He was so brave as to do a paternity test. Could it be that the baby really wasn't his? But how could Deng Sisi not know whose baby she was pregnant with?
I walked into the interrogation room. When Deng Sisi saw me come in, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of anticipation, "Cousin, what did he say?"
I took a deep breath and tried to sound calm. "Lu Yuanqing denies that you had sex. He says you were just ordinary friends, never even held hands, and there's no way you could have a child."
Deng Sisi's face turned pale instantly, her eyes filled with disbelief: "No... Impossible! He clearly promised to be responsible for me... How could he do this?"
"He said if you insist, you can do a paternity test. Are you...really sure that this child is his?"
I don’t believe that nothing really happened between Lu Yuanqing and Deng Sisi. If this hadn’t happened, how could Deng Sisi have committed a fraud out of thin air?
He was just guessing that Deng Sisi was dating someone else at the same time, so Lu Yuanqing felt that it might be someone else's.
Deng Sisi seemed to have been greatly insulted, her voice trembling: "Cousin, you...what do you mean? You suspect me...suspect that I am with someone else..."
I quickly interrupted her, "I'm not doubting you, I just want to get to the bottom of this. Lu Yuanqing's attitude is very firm, he even suggested a paternity test. If you are really so sure it's him, consider whether you still want to defend him and take the blame alone."
Deng Sisi raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes. I could tell she was truly heartbroken this time, her heart completely broken with no acting skills at all. "How could this happen? I've never been with anyone else... How could he do this to me?"
After being in a daze for a while, she suddenly raised her head and shouted at the two policemen, "Uncle police, I will tell you everything."
The tips of the trainee police officer's ears turned red. "Just call me comrade, no need to call me uncle."
The young policeman was quite polite, but the male college graduates who had just graduated were usually shy.
He pretended to be very serious and said, "Then tell me who you are talking to."
Deng Sisi said without hesitation this time, "It was Lu Yuanqing. He taught me all this. He was also the one who put the drugs in the restaurant. I just knew he would tamper with the drinks in the restaurant, but I didn't know what drinks they would be or what drugs he would put in them."
My parents, Xiao Shiqiu, and I continued to watch the surveillance footage in the interrogation room next door. My mother couldn't help but say, "Could the police please ask her why she wanted to harm me?"
The police officer who was with us went out to talk to his colleagues. The older officer asked, "According to your aunt, you were raised in her home since you were a child. She has always loved you. Why would you want to harm her?"
