Chapter 171 He won't be soft-hearted this time.



Around 3 a.m., Tang Li returned to her room alone; the child was fast asleep.

She stood silently on the balcony, feeling the cool breeze, her mind becoming very clear, and she couldn't sleep all night.

The next morning, Lu Jianshen was still awakened by his familiar biological clock, waking up at seven o'clock.

He had no memory of last night, as if he had a blackout.

The man walked into the living room and saw a bowl of cold porridge on the coffee table that hadn't been touched but had gone completely cold.

"Chen Lei, when did you order takeout? Was it porridge delivered from the hotel? Why is it here?"

Chen Lei glanced at the bowl of porridge on the table, said nothing, and decided it was better to forget about it.

He just drank too much last night and released all his pent-up emotions. I believe Miss Tang Li is aware of his feelings.

"Boss, you can't drink on an empty stomach anymore, it's too bad for your stomach!"

Lu Jianshen nodded and glanced down at the time on his wristwatch.

This morning, he has to meet a friend in the business world. After discussing things, he should be back around 11 o'clock for lunch before taking a plane back.

Around 5 p.m., Lu Jianshen's private jet landed at his private airport.

Tang Li's voice was icy cold. "Until the paternity test results are available, A-Lu is still my son alone. I'm taking him back first."

After the woman left with the child, Lu Jianshen asked Chen Lei.

"Do you think she'll hate me if I fight her for custody of the child?"

Chen Lei nodded; that was for sure.

Tang Li's secretive behavior, her reluctance to let President Lu know, is definitely because she's afraid he'll fight for custody of the child.

Lu Jianshen frowned. "This time, I won't be soft-hearted towards her again."

To continue to be soft-hearted towards Tang Li would be foolish; it would be like stabbing himself in the heart.

"The development rights for the Blue Ocean plot of land will be given to Xu Qingxu, and all the other projects will also be returned to him."

Over the years, Shen Qingxu, as the uncle, has done everything he could to be kind and righteous.

If Tang Li hadn't been so unfair to him, Shen Qingxu wouldn't have been so unlucky.

Chen Lei stood there, stunned. The paternity test results weren't even out yet, and President Lu had already made up his mind?

"Okay, I understand."

Lu Jianshen stood alone in the backyard of the manor, looking at the endless tea garden in the distance.

He planted this specifically for Tang Li, but she never paid any attention to it.

Standing alone in this vast world, I feel incredibly lonely.

If A-Lu could come back to his side, it would be some comfort.

After Lu Jianshen brought Alu home, Shen Qingxu was finally completely relieved.

"Great, you brat, you're finally back!"

Shen Qingxu couldn't suppress her smile.

He hasn't been idle these past few days either. He found a suitable opportunity and gave Gu Mingcheng a severe beating. He probably won't be able to get out of bed for three to five days.

"There's no solid evidence this time, so Gu Jia got off easy. But if I catch him again, I'll never let him off the hook!"

Shen Qingxu felt a surge of hatred at the thought, but when she turned to look at Tang Li's expression, she didn't feel so relaxed.

Although A-Lu was not in danger in this unexpected accident, it seems that most of A-Lu's background has been exposed.

Tang Li said, "The results of the paternity test will be available tomorrow."

They all knew exactly what this meant.

Shen Qingxu glanced at the little boy who was hiding in the corner, secretly watching Tang Li.

"You brat, what are you thinking?"

"Mom, can I spend some time with Dad? Although I want to stay with you, Dad is really lonely. You have Uncle and Godmother Zhenzhen, but Dad is always alone. Uncle Chen Lei even has a girlfriend."

Tang Li felt a lump in her throat when she heard this.

She hugged the child tightly, unwilling to let go no matter what.

"Mom, I won't leave you, but I want to stay with you and Dad. Why can't you and Dad be together? Other kids' parents live together."

Shen Qingxu took a deep breath; he couldn't listen to it anymore.

"Lili, why don't we just be honest? I'm tired of hiding things for so many years! Lu Jianshen can do whatever he wants with me!"

"Besides, in the end, it was Tang Nanquan's fault, and it has nothing to do with you. He wouldn't take his revenge on the next generation."

Tang Li remained silent for a long time, just sitting there blankly. She knew Lu Jianshen's temper all too well.

She would never forgive herself; telling him the truth would also plunge Lu Jianshen into pain.

He might hesitate, he might struggle, but he always showed no mercy to the murderer who hurt his mother.

"I don't know what to do, my head hurts so much right now."

Tang Li couldn't sleep at all last night, and she couldn't sleep on the plane either. Her mind was full of worries and in a mess.

"Go to your room and rest for a while. Don't worry about anything else. I'll take care of everything."

Shen Qingxu felt sorry for her when she saw how tired she looked, but she didn't know what she could do.

Watching Tang Li return to her room, Shen Qingxu sighed. She had originally intended to handle some company matters.

After turning on his computer, Shen Qingxu finally saw the message his assistant had sent him.

"President Shen, why are some of our previous projects back?"

When Shen Qingxu saw the message, she was stunned for a moment, then realized something.

He immediately made a call to his assistant, just as he had planned.

Lu Jianshen returned all the projects to him.

"Does he think he can bribe me like this? Wishful thinking!"

Tang Li slept from around 7 p.m. until 6 a.m. the next morning.

She struggled to open her eyes, feeling as if she had slept for a very, very long time, as if she were trapped in a nightmare from which she would never wake up.

Tang Li grabbed her phone, intending to check her work messages, but found six missed calls.

Three of them were made by Yan Zhenzhen, who also talked to her about work on WeChat.

There are three other numbers, one of which is an unmarked number and has an unread message in the message box.

Tang Li opened the message.

"Lili, this is Lu Wenshan. I'd like to talk to you about Bai Jingyue. Do you have time this morning? Please reply when you see this."

Bai Jingyue, whom Lu Wenshan mentioned, is Lu Jianshen's mother.

Back then, it was Lu Wenshan who arranged for his father to do it.

Tang Li hated Tang Nanquan, and also hated the hypocritical Lu Wenshan.

However, she wanted to hear what Lu Wenshan had to say!

"Meet me at Songbu Cafe on Beihu Road at 9:00 AM."

After getting up, Tang Li drank a cup of black coffee to help her feel more refreshed.

She quickly made arrangements for the work she needed to do that day and set off at 8:30 a.m.

Lu Wenshan got straight to the point and stated his purpose.

"I hope you can take that child and run away. I can find a way to help you and prevent Lu Jianshen from finding you. I think you wouldn't want to be separated from your child!"
