Tang Li didn't want to stay any longer.
There was nothing left for her to cherish here, including Lu Jianshen.
He seemed quite calm today, showing no signs of anything unusual, except for a faint sadness hidden in his eyes. Perhaps he would soon forget himself, after all, Lu Jianshen had so many women around him.
Even today at the funeral hall, Ye Ru intentionally went up to her, trying to strike up a conversation.
If Chen Lei hadn't stopped her, perhaps she would have had a chance to succeed.
Thinking of this, Tang Li chuckled softly, suddenly feeling that her existence was meaningless.
Whether she lives or dies has no impact on her closest relatives and friends.
Seeing Tang Li's distraught appearance, Shen Qingxu felt a pang of pity.
"Do you remember your friend Yan Zhenzhen? She cried her heart out and fainted last night. She had to be taken to the hospital. There are people in this world who really care about you."
Tang Li smiled wryly and nodded.
She can't tell the truth yet.
It's fine to let everyone think she's dead.
"Please book me a plane ticket to the United States. I want to leave."
Shen Qingxu frowned. "It's not possible right now. Lu Jianshen suspects that you are not dead at all. He also found out that you booked a plane ticket to the United States before. Although the ticket was not used, he still suspects it."
Tang Li was stunned. Lu Jianshen wasn't too sad today because he suspected she was still alive?
He's still investigating; he hasn't given up on himself, has he?
But none of that matters anymore. If one day he finds out that he is the daughter of his mother's killer, he might grind Tang Li to dust.
Rather than that, it's better to disappear while he still loves you.
Shen Qingxu's phone vibrated twice.
He took out his phone, puzzled.
When he saw the WeChat message pop up on his phone, his brows furrowed even more.
"Your blood test results from yesterday are in."
Tang Li thought she had only suffered a minor injury and didn't take it to heart.
However, Shen Qingxu's words left her completely stunned and at a loss for words.
"Tang Li, you're pregnant."
Is she pregnant?
How could that be?
She subconsciously touched her stomach; it was Lu Jianshen's child.
Shen Qingxu decided to let Tang Li stay by his side for a while longer.
“They don’t know about our relationship. You’re safe here with me. Once this is over and your pregnancy is more stable, I’ll send you abroad.”
If she were alone abroad and something unexpected happened to her, and she was pregnant, who would help her?
Tang Li turned to look at him, "Brother, are you so sure I'll keep this child?"
Shen Qingxu pinched the bridge of her nose. "You don't have many relatives left in this world. You'll want to keep him."
If it were him, he too would be reluctant to part with his only family.
Tang Li asked, "Shen Qingxu, do you consider me family?"
Shen Qingxu chuckled lightly, "I'm not good enough for you. We're not from the same world. What family are you talking about?"
"Really? It's quite rare to see a workaholic give up their job to accompany me to a fake funeral!"
Shen Qingxu didn't speak. He had been hurt too deeply by family ties and didn't expect anything from any of his family members.
As night fell, Tang Li sat alone in Shen Qingxu's villa, lost in thought. She couldn't concentrate on drawing; her mind was filled with thoughts of her child.
This child came at the worst possible time.
When she was torn between two choices and didn't even know how to decide her own fate, the child arrived.
If she gives birth to this child, it will create another layer of bond between her and Lu Jianshen. Will she come back then? Will she still look for Lu Jianshen?
Or she could cut ties with him completely, not tell him anything about the child, and raise the child alone.
Yuese Bar.
Shen Qingxu came over to meet a guest that evening and happened to see Ye Ru leaning against Lu Jianshen's chest.
They seemed innocent during the day, but by night they were hooking up. How shameless!
Shen Qingxu frowned, feeling sorry for that silly girl Tang Li.
He casually snapped a photo, forwarded it to Tang Li, then turned and went into the private room to meet his friend.
Lu Jianshen pushed Ye Ru away, his face full of disgust. This woman really likes to stick to people like a leech!
She just pretended to lose her footing and fell into his arms; it was disgusting.
“President Lu, I know you’re concerned about Tang Li, but you were away on a business trip those two days and you didn’t know the truth.”
Ye Ru knew very well that she could say something that would pique Lu Jianshen's interest at this moment.
Sure enough, when Tang Li was mentioned, he became less resistant to himself.
"Explain everything you know!"
"Tang Li is not a docile woman. Besides you, she has other men!"
As Ye Ru spoke, she carefully observed Lu Jianshen's expression. Seeing him frown and become displeased, Ye Ru became even more enthusiastic.
"She was on her way to meet another man when she got into a car accident while taking a taxi! Of course, this matter couldn't be made a big deal out of, so my dad made a big deal out of it."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Jianshen suddenly stood up and grabbed Ye Ru by the neck.
Her neck was being tightly gripped, making it impossible for Ye Ru to breathe. Her face turned red as she struggled violently.
She felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, her head spinning, and she almost fainted.
In the moment before she died, Lu Jianshen finally took pity on her and released her.
