After the meal, the waiter came in and took away the plates and replaced them with fruit plates.
Qin Heque consciously put the fruit on Cheng Yuesheng's plate.
Cheng Yuesheng tugged at his clothes, attracting Qin Heque's attention. She glanced at the silent father and son opposite her, indicating that Qin Heque should get down to business.
Qin Heque smiled faintly and said to the Lu family father and son, "It's time to get down to business."
"Mr. Qin seems to know the purpose of my meeting with you. When did you find out?" Lu Qingxu asked.
Qin Heque took a sip of tea and said, "I've always been curious about Mr. Lu's purpose in coming to Jiangzhou. I was just guessing at first, but the moment you took Mr. He away, I almost guessed your purpose."
"Mr. He? He Jiaqi?" Cheng Yuesheng asked Qin Heque in surprise.
"right."
"Humph." Lu Zecheng said to Lu Qingxu with a mocking look on his face, "Look at you, you're always criticizing me, but you're not being careful enough yourself."
"Stop fighting here, let's get down to business." Qin Heque said with a serious face.
The Lu family father and son also became serious. They looked at each other, considering who should speak first.
In fact, Lu Qingxu was not originally prepared to meet Cheng Yuesheng directly. His original plan was to meet Qin Heque first and contact Cheng Yuesheng through Qin Heque.
On the contrary, Lu Zecheng, because he had been in contact with Cheng Yuesheng for a long time, wanted to explain everything to Cheng Yuesheng early on, but when he really wanted to tell Cheng Yuesheng, he was a little hesitant and didn't know how to start.
Qin Heque looked at them for a long time without saying anything, so he said, "Are you two going to stop talking? If that's the case, then I'll tell you."
"Let me say it." Lu Qingxu spoke first. After all, he was the elder, so it would be better for him to say these words.
"Shengsheng, I know you've been looking into your background during this period."
Cheng Yuesheng was completely stunned. She had never expected Lu Qingxu to talk about her life. An incredible thought emerged in her mind, making her freeze in place, her hands clenched into fists in her lap.
At this moment, she felt warmth on her hand. She looked down and saw that it was Qin Heque holding her hand and trying to comfort her.
Lu Qingxu's eyes were a little obscure, and he said: "You are actually my brother's daughter."
"What?" Cheng Yuesheng asked in disbelief, "Are you sure?"
"It's true, you are my uncle's daughter." Lu Zecheng looked at her with certainty.
Cheng Yuesheng was silent for a while, then asked with some difficulty, "Where is he?"
She still had a lot of questions to ask. She asked why she didn't come to Jiangzhou, why she abandoned Cheng Jiu, why she didn't show up when Cheng Jiu was expelled from school, why she let Cheng Jiu give birth to the child alone, and why she didn't come when Cheng Jiu died...
Lu Qingxu's eyes became dim and unclear, and he whispered, "Your father died many years ago. He died before you were born."
Cheng Yuesheng thought of many reasons, but never thought it was this reason.
She was silent for a moment, then asked, "How did he die?"
"He was shot while on a mission and rescue efforts were ineffective. He's a soldier." Lu Qingxu's eyes were moist. He looked at Cheng Yuesheng and said seriously, "Shengsheng, your father, my brother, never abandoned you and your daughter. He just can't come back."
"Yes, Shengsheng." Lu Zecheng took out a stack of old, yellowed letters and said, "These are letters from my uncle to your mother, and letters from your mother to my uncle. However, there are several replies that he must have written while on missions. He died before he had the chance to mail them. These are his belongings, and we only discovered them last year."
Cheng Yuesheng stared at the letter in his hand for a long time, her face expressionless with shock. She asked, "Why did you find out after all these years?"
"My uncle's belongings had been in my grandfather's house all along, and no one had ever opened them. A new servant opened the letter while cleaning the room, and we only then learned that my uncle already had a girlfriend at the time, and she was pregnant," Lu Zecheng explained.
Cheng Yuesheng was still in a daze.
"Shengsheng, I didn't lie to you. You'll know after reading the contents of the letter." Lu Zecheng said.
Cheng Yuesheng took the letter and stared at the stack of old letters for a long time without opening it.
"Shengsheng, I'm sorry that it took me so many years to find you. You must have suffered all these years." Lu Qingxu looked at her apologetically.
Cheng Yuesheng put the letter down and asked, "How can you be sure that I am the child you are looking for?"
"After I arrived in Jiangzhou, I investigated your mother's affairs. You've met Mr. He, so he should know everything about her." Lu Qingxu said with a look of regret, "Your mother was a very good woman. It's a pity that due to some strange combination of circumstances, my brother missed out on her in this life."
Lu Zecheng took out a document and handed it to Cheng Yuesheng. He said a little embarrassedly: "Shengsheng, this is a paternity test. You are indeed a member of our Lu family. We are related by blood."
"What?" Cheng Yuesheng looked at him in shock.
Lu Zecheng apologized: "I'm sorry, Shengsheng, I did this assessment without your consent."
"How did you get my sample?"
"Do you remember that time when your hair got caught in your wheelchair?" Lu Zecheng explained with a guilty conscience, "I secretly pulled out a few of your hairs."
Cheng Yuesheng frowned and said, "How could you do this!"
"Sorry, Shengsheng, he's just so unreasonable." Lu Qingxu was speechless about his son's way of doing things. He said to Lu Zecheng, "Hurry up and apologize to Shengsheng!"
