Zhou Zhicheng lowered his head, as if hesitating, or reminiscing, but he refused to speak.
Lu Jing didn't have that much patience, and when he thought that Zhou Qian might have been abducted by Zhou Zhicheng and his wife, a surge of heartbroken anger rose in his heart.
She could have been a carefree daughter of the Liang family, but this accident changed her life.
"I respect that you've raised her for over twenty years, so I can stand here and talk to you. If you insist on not speaking, I will have no choice but to call the police."
Lu Jing took out his cell phone and prepared to call the police. Zhou Zhicheng nervously grabbed his wrist and said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."
Lu Jing put down his phone and waited for him to speak.
Zhou Zhicheng recalled and recounted their encounter with Zhou Qian.
Zhou Qian was indeed not abducted by Zhou Zhicheng and his wife, but was accidentally picked up at the entrance of a village when Zhou Zhicheng and his wife were hiding from their debts.
It was almost dark and they were hiding in a bamboo forest when they came across a child sleeping next to a bush. He was about one year old at the time.
After they picked up the child, they wanted to find out whose child it was and send the child back, but they accidentally heard that the missing child was bought.
When Zhou Zhicheng heard that the child was adopted, he changed his mind and left the village with the child overnight.
After Zhou Zhicheng and his wife took Zhou Qian away, they tacitly agreed not to mention finding relatives for Zhou Qian, because they both knew that they would never have their own children in this lifetime.
So he became selfish and decided to keep Zhou Qian and raise him as his own child.
In order to give his children a normal life, Zhou Zhicheng quit gambling in those years and earned money to pay off his debts. However, he later could not resist the temptation and became addicted to gambling again.
After hearing the whole story, Lu Jing's face looked unhappy.
Although Zhou Zhicheng and his wife did not directly abduct Zhou Qian, their selfish behavior of concealing the matter is unforgivable.
Zhou Zhicheng wiped away tears and confessed, "We were just too eager to have a child at the time. We didn't mean to hurt Xiaoqian."
"You long for children, but have you ever thought about how painful and desperate those who have lost their children are?"
Zhou Zhicheng was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head.
"Her biological parents have rushed back from abroad to do a paternity test. I will tell her the truth once the test results come out."
"No!" Zhou Zhicheng suddenly grabbed Lu Jing excitedly, "Mr. Lu, please don't tell Xiao Qian. Even if we feel sorry for her, we have raised her for more than 20 years. She is still our daughter."
Lu Jing was immediately enraged. He grabbed Zhou Zhicheng by the collar and angrily said, "You've occupied her life for over twenty years, and now you still want to occupy her. Do you have any conscience at all?"
Anyone with a little conscience should be happy that Zhou Qian has found his relatives, instead of selfishly trying to occupy them.
Zhou Zhicheng still insisted on defending himself, "But if it weren't for us, she might have starved to death in that small bamboo forest. We actually saved her."
"If it weren't for this, I would kill you immediately." Lu Jing's facial features were sharp and ferocious.
He let go of Zhou Zhicheng, stood up, and looked down at the dejected Zhou Zhicheng sitting on the sofa. "No one has the right to deprive her of the right to find her relatives."
After leaving Zhou Zhicheng, Lu Jing drove directly to Zhou Qian's company. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to see her very much.
When he arrived at Zhou Qian's company, he took out his cell phone to send her a message.
[Girlfriend, when do you get off work? ]
Zhou Qian was making a wedding scene picture for a client on the computer. When her cell phone rang, she didn't check it immediately. Instead, she finished making the entire background picture before picking up the phone.
After seeing the text message, the corners of my mouth unconsciously pursed and I replied to him.
[What's up?]
【It's extremely urgent.】
【？ 】
【I miss my girlfriend.】
【……】
Zhou Qian sent an eyes-rolling emoticon, but he felt sweet inside, and the smile on his lips gradually grew wider.
The colleague sitting across from me came over and teased, "Who are you chatting with and laughing so silly?"
Another colleague chimed in, "Who else could it be? It must be her boyfriend."
Zhou Qian smiled and did not deny it. At this time, Lu Jing's message came in again.
【come out.】
Zhou Qian was stunned and subconsciously looked outside, because there was a huge floor-to-ceiling window in their office, and she could see what was happening downstairs at a glance.
A black Bentley SUV was parked on the side of the road with its hazard lights on, but Zhou Qian had never seen Lu Jing driving this car, and the car was quite expensive, so she didn't think it was him.
"Let's go. The boss is not here today, so you can leave work early." Her colleagues encouraged her, knowing that she was definitely going on a date with her boyfriend.
Zhou Qian was not polite. "Then I'll leave first. If the boss finds out, just say I went to meet a client."
"Go ahead and don't worry."
…
When Zhou Qian came out of the company, a Bentley on the roadside honked its horn. She cursed in her heart, it really was him.
She walked over, walked around the front of the car and got on the passenger seat. She couldn't help but look at the brand new luxury car. It was obvious that the car was new, or it had not been driven many times.
All the Lu family’s assets have been frozen, and Lu Jing has no source of income. Where would he get the money to buy such a nice car?
"Did you make a fortune?"
Lu Jing knew she was talking about the car from the way she looked at it. "You made a fortune with just a car?"
"Aren't the Lu family's assets frozen? You didn't open it secretly, did you?"
Lu Jing looked at her and asked, "In your eyes, am I only blessed by the Lu family?"
Zhou Qian complained in his heart: Isn’t it?
But she couldn't say that, as it hurt her. But since he came to pick her up from get off work, she could give him some compliments.
Zhou Qian leaned over and hugged his arm, saying with a silly look on her face, "In my eyes, you are a halo."
Lu Jing licked his back teeth with the tip of his tongue. It was obvious that he was pleased by the flattery. "Zhou Yiyi, you're done."
After saying that, Lu Jing held her face and kissed her hard.
Zhou Qian kissed him back almost immediately. The two of them ignored the passers-by in the car and kissed passionately until Zhou Qian was out of breath, and Lu Jing let her go.
"Save some energy for the evening." Lu Jing helped her wipe the water from the corner of her mouth.
Zhou Qian glared at him. "I have to draw a design for a client tonight, so I won't be going to your place."
He had abducted her to live in his apartment these days.
"Your landlord didn't tell you that your house has been evicted."
Zhou Qian widened her eyes, "When did it happen?" The house she rented was vacated, how could she not know?
And it’s still half a month away from expiration!
"today."
"Who did this? Where are my things?"
"They're all mine."
Zhou Qian took a deep breath and knew without thinking that it was him who did it.
Before Zhou Qian lost her temper, Lu Jing kissed her on the lips and said, "To celebrate Zhou Yiyi's housewarming, your boyfriend will cook you a big meal tonight."
At this point, Zhou Qian knew that getting angry wouldn't change anything, so it was better to just move and make the best of it. At least he could still have a good meal.
