Lu Jianshen frowned helplessly. "There's nothing I can do. Your mother didn't want me, and now that you're here with me, she doesn't want you either!"
Upon hearing this, A-Lu burst into tears, feeling abandoned by his mother.
Oh no, we've been tricked!
She shouldn't have come with her father.
"My mom doesn't want you, so does that mean she doesn't want me either?"
"Forehead……"
Lu Jianshen was completely speechless when asked this question by the child.
"Don't cry yet. Okay, I'll find the original singer of the song you want to hear for you, okay?"
Lu Jianshen had never coaxed a child before and had no experience, so he had no choice but to make a phone call to one of the singers signed to his company.
"100,000 yuan an hour to sing to lull my son to sleep."
Lu Jianshen felt that the professional singer's abilities should not disappoint him.
But ten minutes later, Ah Lu was still wide awake and couldn't fall asleep at all.
He even sang along with the singer on the other side of the screen.
Knowing that he had a video conference in half an hour, Lu Jianshen had no choice but to call Tang Li over.
Fortunately, Tang Li did not hang up the phone this time.
Tang Li was so focused on drawing that she didn't have time to get distracted and hung up the phone.
“A-Lu hasn’t fallen asleep yet. Could you come over? He seems to be having insomnia.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Li turned and glanced at the clock on the wall.
It's almost 11 o'clock now, is A-Lu still not asleep?
“A-Lu usually falls asleep around 9 p.m. Is it because you’re in a different environment that he can’t sleep?”
While talking on the phone with Lu Jianshen, Tang Li changed her clothes, hurriedly went out, and drove to Lu Jianshen's villa.
When she arrived, A-Lu was chatting with the singer on the other end of the video call.
He was just listening to music, and now he's dragging that uncle along to chat with him.
"Go and make sure he gets some rest. I have a video conference later, so I have to go now."
Hearing this, Tang Li nodded, watched Lu Jianshen turn and walk into the study, sighed, and went in to look at her son.
That brat is clearly doing it on purpose.
He usually sleeps very well and never causes trouble in the middle of the night.
"Are you doing this on purpose? Why aren't you asleep yet at this hour tonight?"
Hearing his mother's voice, the little guy was terrified and quickly hung up the video call. He then obediently lay on the bed without moving, pretending to be asleep.
"Tang Code!"
"Mom, can you come and live with me at Dad's place from now on? It's so boring living with Dad alone!"
Tang Li had just finished drawing the picture and then drove for more than ten minutes to get to the Lu family villa. She was quite tired.
"You brat, get to sleep!"
After coaxing A-Lu to sleep, she was also tired and, without realizing it, fell asleep leaning against the bedside.
An hour later, Lu Jianshen's meeting ended.
When he returned to the room, he saw that the two children, one big and one small, were already asleep on the bed.
Lu Jianshen reluctantly walked over and helped Tang Li cover herself with the blanket.
The next morning.
Tang Li vaguely heard sounds from the living room and realized that she had spent the night there.
She hurriedly got up; her son was still sleeping.
It's the weekend, so the little one doesn't have to go to school.
A light rain started falling outside, and the temperature was a bit low.
When Tang Li arrived in the living room, she saw Lu Jianshen about to leave.
"Breakfast is on the table. Have some breakfast and stay here with A-Lu today."
After spending time with him last night, Lu Jianshen realized that he was simply not cut out for taking care of children.
Or perhaps, Tang Li's position as a mother is already very secure in A-Lu's heart.
As for his father, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, A-Lu didn't listen to him at all.
Tang Li glanced at the breakfast on the living room table, then turned to Lu Jianshen and asked, "Where are you going? To work?"
"Lu Wenshan asked me to accompany him to offer incense to the old lady on the mountain."
For some reason, Tang Li had a vague sense of unease.
Did that old fox Lu Wenshan really just want to take Lu Jianshen up the mountain to offer incense to the old lady?
It's probably not that simple.
"I'll go with you. Later, I'll have Chen Lei come over to take care of A-Lu, okay?"
Lu Jianshen was stunned for a moment.
When he thought about how the old lady left all her inheritance to Tang Li before she died, he felt that it was understandable.
"Then change your clothes. It's still raining outside and it's quite cold. Wear a down jacket."
Tang Li then realized that this was Lu Jianshen's home.
They're already divorced, and they've already packed up their clothes and left.
Last night, she came over wearing only a gray cashmere coat.
"Then I might have to go home to get my down jacket."
"There are down jackets in the walk-in closet in the master bedroom. Go and take a look."
Tang Li was stunned for a moment. Last time, she had clearly told Lu Jianshen to throw away everything related to her, and she didn't want to keep it either.
Tang Li entered the master bedroom's walk-in closet and saw that it had been updated with a brand new batch of winter clothes, all in her size.
“They were delivered by the store. They probably don’t know we’re divorced yet. They’re just sending us the latest models.”
Tang Li nodded, picked out a long white down jacket from among them, and put it on. It felt warm and cozy.
Five minutes later, Chen Lei hurriedly came over with the toys.
"I just bought it at the store!"
Chen Lei was somewhat smug, believing he had made thorough preparations.
Lu Jianshen glanced at the toy room next door and said, "Your memory is terrible. You've forgotten that you set it up yourself. There are so many toys at home."
Chen Lei then belatedly realized that he had almost forgotten.
He thought he was just visiting a relative's house and buying some toys on the way there to play with their child.
The boss has everything here.
At 10 a.m., Lu Jianshen and Tang Li drove to the cemetery on the mountain.
While eating breakfast, Tang Li asked Lu Jianshen, "Lu Wenshan didn't even go to offer incense to the old lady himself, so why did he think of taking you with him this time?"
Something unusual must be going on.
Now that A-Lu's identity has been exposed, the Lu family is definitely going to be in trouble.
Tang Li thought for a moment, then asked, "Have you ever considered that they might have ulterior motives?"
Lu Jianshen frowned. "You specifically asked to come up the mountain with me today, not to offer incense to the old lady, but because you were worried about me, right?"
Tang Li remained silent, tacitly acknowledging his guess.
"There are no good people in the Lu family, so we should always be careful."
Lu Jianshen seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
"I know that Lu Chengyi wants me dead now, and he also sees A-Lu as a thorn in his side!"
He said this in a nonchalant tone, as if he weren't the one being schemed against.
Tang Li hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, "Have you ever suspected that Lu Wenshan might have done something else, like your mother's accident?"
