Meng Jingdong had no objection. He hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to work. Song Ci pricked up his ears but didn't hear anything useful, so he had to pick up the documents and sneak away to avoid being discovered by the boss that he was eavesdropping.
Lu Tian hung up the phone and continued running. After a while, she imagined Meng Jingdong's expression and tone when he answered the phone. She laughed so hard that her stomach hurt and she almost fell off the treadmill.
"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Zou Fan, the kid next door, looked terrified, thinking she was crazy.
"You don't understand, kid!" Lu Tian turned off the treadmill and kept laughing, which scared Tian Jing who came upstairs to see her.
Tian Jing smiled and said, "I've never seen you smile like this..."
Lu Tian waved her hand, suppressed her smile, and returned to her serious demeanor: "I just made a phone call with Meng Jingdong."
"You really are, calling me by my full name, how rude!"
"He calls me that too. Just calling me by my name is too corny. I can't do it."
Tian Jing was helpless: "It's up to you, as long as Xiao Meng has no objection, you two can do whatever you want! But you're either at home or at school all day, why don't you and Xiao Meng go on a date?"
"Yes, he just called me to ask me out for dinner tonight." Lu Tian decided to quickly clean up a house and move in. If she stayed at home all the time, they would definitely suspect her and Meng Jingdong's affair.
Tian Jing frowned slightly, always feeling that Lu Tian was very casual with Meng Jingdong, not at all like a couple who had already obtained a marriage certificate.
"you……"
However, before Tian Jing could even begin, she was interrupted by Lu Tian: "Mom, you've been at home a lot lately. Is there nothing going on at the company?"
She hinted once again that Tian Jing usually stayed at the company on weekends and rarely relaxed at home. Now she often called her back home for dinner. It was obvious that she wanted to talk about Lu Chengyang, but she always hesitated and dared not say it out loud for fear of hurting her. Sometimes Lu Tian even worried about her.
"You still have objections to me taking vacation at home? Your uncle is still in the company." Tian Jing was hesitant. After associating with the Gu family, she would meet many more people than before. Lu Tian's life experience might arouse suspicion from others at any time. What's more, the Meng family was a family friend of the Lu family. It was only a matter of time before the incident of the past was exposed. However, she was afraid that her daughter could not accept it.
Lu Chengyang recovered well after the operation. Tian Jing went to see him once and they discussed everything about Lu Tian. Regardless of whether she recognized the Lu family or not, the truth of that year should be told to her, and she could make the decision on her own.
Tian Jing took a deep breath, coaxed Zou Fan who was playing nearby away, held Lu Tian's hand, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke.
"Lu Tian, I want to talk to you about your father."
Lu Tian nodded, stopped stretching, sat up from the yoga mat, and looked up at Tian Jing who was sitting on the sofa.
"He, he, I met him, and he knew about you. I, I never told you who he is." Tian Jing thought for a long time and still stuttered.
Lu Tian couldn't bear to see her so nervous. After thinking it over, he decided to take the initiative: "Mom, just tell me directly. I'm mentally prepared. I used to think he was dead. No matter how scary it is, it can't be as scary as a dead person coming back to life, right?"
Tian Jing sat there, her hands clasped in a very formal posture: "Lu Tian, Mommy wants you to understand that all this is for your own good. We didn't mean to hide it from you."
"Okay." Lu Tian agreed. Adults always say that it is for the good of the children, but who knows whether it is good for the children or not?
She looked very calm. Tian Jing nervously told the truth: "Actually, you have already met him, it's just..."
"It's Lu Chengyang, right?" Lu Tian said the name calmly.
Tian Jing looked at her in surprise: "How did you know?"
"You were so hesitant, and yet you said I knew him. I thought about what happened recently and made a random guess. It seems I was right." Lu Tian said without blushing or beating her heart. It was indeed her guess, but it was a long time ago. She would never tell Tian Jing what she had done with this incident.
"So...what do you think?"
Lu Tian shrugged: "I've grown up with him or without him, it doesn't matter whether I know or not."
"Then, do you still hate him?" Tian Jing asked again with a trembling voice: "Do you hate me for not telling you the truth?"
Lu Tian stood up from the yoga mat, knelt on the sofa and hugged her: "No, I love you very much."
Tian Jing hugged her back and burst into tears. Many years ago, when they depended on each other, she always thought that Lu Tian was a gift from God left for her alone, and she only wanted to have him alone. Now this treasure still belonged to her.
