"If you're not going to tell me, then I'm leaving." Lu Zhengye's voice was like ice, chilling people to the bone.
Lin Yusheng suddenly looked up into his eyes, "Can I contact you in the future?"
"There's no need for that."
"But..." Fanfan is your child.
Fearing that what she was about to say might hurt Fanfan, Lin Yusheng stopped herself in time.
If Lu Zhengye truly hates her to the point of never speaking to her again, letting Fanfan know that this is his father would also be a harm to him.
Although Lin Yusheng knew that she was the one who was wrong at the beginning, she still couldn't help feeling wronged. "After returning from the Island of the Dead Slaves, I have been trying desperately to contact you and Wei Qing, but I can't get in touch with them."
Lu Zhengye, Wei Qing, and everyone from the Island of the Dead who had lived in Lucheng all lost contact with each other.
"And then what? What can you do after you get in touch?" Lu Zhengye asked her coldly.
Only he knew how much pain he was in.
From accepting her rebirth to exploiting her, every step was like tearing out her heart.
Lin Yusheng bit her lip and remained silent, leaving her at a loss for words with every question from Lu Zhengye.
Lu Shifan has always been intelligent. His mother's strange attitude towards this man was enough to explain his identity, but this man was bullying his mother.
He had never been that angry before.
"You bad guy!" he shouted, then rushed forward and bit Lu Zhengye's thigh.
Unfortunately, the trousers were silky smooth, Lu Zhengye's muscles were firm, and Lu Shifan's mouth was small, so only some saliva was left on them, which was like a tickle to Lu Zhengye.
This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. They had all forgotten that there was a little kid who only reached Lu Zhengye's thigh.
Lin Yusheng was also startled. She snapped out of her grief and hurriedly went to pull her son away.
"Fanfan, you can't bite."
But even faster than her was Lu Zhengye's large hand.
He simply grabbed the little brat by the collar and easily lifted him up.
Lu Shifan's feet left the ground as he struggled desperately, "Let me go, let me go, you big bad guy, I don't want you to be my father, I want Uncle Qin, I hate you."
Lin Yusheng and Lu Zhengye both froze.
Lin Yusheng was right; her son had guessed it.
Lu Zhengye was wondering who this person surnamed Qin was.
Looking at the innocent little face in front of him, the anger he had been holding in suddenly vanished.
"A-Ye." Although she knew Lu Zhengye wouldn't hurt the child, she still couldn't help but worry. He should be able to tell whose child it was, right?
Lu Zhengye stared at Lu Shifan for a long time, then with a flick of his wrist, placed him in Lin Yusheng's arms.
The little man who was just baring his teeth and claws calmed down as soon as he was in Lin Yusheng's arms.
He turned his head and looked at Lu Zhengye with a face full of anger.
Lu Zhengye ignored him and walked away.
This time, Lin Yusheng did not call out to him again.
The rift between them still needs to be gradually bridged.
...
Once Lu Zhengye entered the elevator and was out of Lin Yusheng's sight, the atmosphere around him became even more oppressive.
Wei Qing dared not breathe, why did he keep feeling like it was about to come at him?
His guess turned out to be correct: "Wei Qing, since your eyes are useless, just donate them."
Wei Qing felt a chill run down her spine, and cold sweat broke out all over her body. She wanted to cry but dared not. "President Lu, I was going to tell you that the child looks a lot like you and even has the surname Lu, but President Yan messed things up. Could President Yan and I each donate one?"
Yan Wuyong gave him a cold look and said expressionlessly, "As Lu Zhengye's special assistant, if you don't even have this much resilience, you can be fired."
Wei Qing: "..." President Yan is cunning, truly cunning.
"And you clearly had the opportunity to speak later, so why didn't you?" Yan Wuyong added.
Wei Qing panicked, "How could I possibly have a chance?!"
Not to mention that both he and President Lu are busy, even if they met, they would only talk about work. Moreover, President Lu exudes a cold aura, so even if he wanted to speak, he would have to consider whether he was alive or not.
"Ha! Are you upset that I've given you too much work?" Lu Zhengye asked in a chilling tone.
Wei Qing quickly replied, "No, no."
"Go back and expedite the process of producing that western suburbs plan for me, or you can work in the sales department for a few days."
Wei Qing was on the verge of tears. He couldn't go to the sales department; those crazy women would tear him apart.
As Lu Zhengye's assistant, he thought he was already quite eloquent, but he still had to lose to the sales department, not to mention that they were all eyeing him covetously.
Wei Qing dared not disobey Lu Zhengye's orders and could only look at Yan Wuyong with resentment.
Yan Wuyong coughed lightly, covering his mouth in embarrassment, then took out his phone and tapped it, gesturing for Wei Qing to check.
Wei Qing turned on the screen and saw Yan Wuyong's transfer of 200,000 yuan, and his sadness just now vanished.
He gave Yan Wuyong a smile, signifying that they had put aside their past grievances.
There is nothing in this world that money can't solve. If there is, it's because you don't have enough money.
Lu Zhengye saw through their little tricks and was thinking about finding something for Yan Wuyong to do.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Lu Zhengye gave an order, "Go and find out who that person surnamed Qin is."
Surname Qin?
Wei Qing was momentarily stunned.
Yan Wuyong reminded him, "The Uncle Qin that the child was talking about just now."
"Oh, oh." Wei Qing suddenly realized.
When he came to his senses, Lu Zhengye had already walked a distance away.
Yan Wuyong complained to him, "He clearly loves her to death but insists on pretending, asking for trouble."
"Don't say that about President Lu. He has had a very hard time these past few years."
Yan Wuyong: "..."
...
After Lu Zhengye left, Lu Shifan cupped his mother's face and kissed her, saying, "Mommy, don't be sad. Fanfan doesn't want Daddy anymore."
The child couldn't hold back his tears when he said those words, and Lin Yusheng hugged him tightly.
At this moment, Shen Yishu arrived. Seeing that the two were safe, she breathed a sigh of relief and took out her phone to notify the others.
She stepped forward and pinched Lu Shifan's pale face, "You can't do that again next time, little one, the adults are very worried."
"I know, godmother," Lu Shifan said, his words slightly slurred.
Shen Yishu keenly sensed that something was wrong with the mother and son's emotions and couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong?"
"I saw him."
Shen Yishu was shocked, "Just now?"
"Um."
"This is too much of a coincidence, so you guys..."
Lin Yusheng shook her head.
Shen Yishu understood, and she looked at Lu Shifan with heartache.
Lin Yusheng said, "Fanfan guessed his identity himself."
"I don't want my dad anymore, he's a bad person," Lu Shifan said angrily.
But the more a child stubbornly says no, the more they want it.
Shen Yishu touched his head with a look of heartache.
Just then, the phone rang; it was Wen Shengyao calling.
As soon as Shen Yishu answered the call, she heard Wen Shengyao excitedly say, "Brother Lu is here to see me. It's room 178. Come quickly!"
"They've already met."
Wen Shengyao: "..." When did this happen?
