After saying this, Tang Li pushed open the car door and got out, her face as calm as a still, stagnant pool.
Her mind was in turmoil. When she got back to the hotel, her son was already asleep.
Tang Li went to the balcony and called Shen Qingxu to explain the situation.
"What? He's already taken A-Lu to get a paternity test? Have the results come back yet?"
"It might take another two days. The private plane is tomorrow afternoon. I'm going back with him. I think he's starting to suspect Ah Lu's background. Brother, what should I do?"
"If he had any conscience at all, he should have given you the child. You, a woman, have been living abroad with the child for five years. Does he, as the father, really have a clear conscience?"
Shen Qingxu thought Lu Jianshen was an unreliable man.
But there was nothing he could do; he just happened to be A-Lu's father.
"I don't know. Maybe it's not entirely his fault. After all, I've kept too many things from him, but there are some things I can't let him know."
Next door, Lu Jianshen's room.
After reporting on his work, Chen Lei told his boss about his upcoming schedule.
"Mr. Lu, we'll be taking a private jet back tomorrow afternoon at 2 PM, and we'll be able to land at the airfield behind the manor around 5:30 PM!"
Lu Jianshen nodded; he had a general idea of the itinerary.
When will the paternity test results be available?
Chen Lei frowned. "It might have to wait until the morning after tomorrow."
Lu Jianshen nodded; he understood.
Perhaps the expert report was no longer important; he thought he already knew the result.
Tang Li secretly became pregnant and stayed abroad alone for five years. She would not have suddenly returned to China unless there was an unavoidable situation.
After returning to China, Tang Li even tried to avoid him, secretly running away with his child so that the child wouldn't stay with him.
What a selfish woman she is!
"Chen Lei, do you think I'm just asking for trouble? Why did I even like her?"
Chen Lei stood there silently, not daring to speak. What could he do if President Lu had fallen for him?
I wonder what the young mistress is really thinking.
"I feel that the young mistress sometimes loves you, but at other times, her behavior is really confusing!"
At 2 a.m., Lu Jianshen drank a lot of alcohol alone in the living room. His stomach was burning badly, so he woke Chen Lei up in the middle of the night to find stomach medicine.
"Miss Tang, Miss Tang, are you asleep?"
There was a rapid knocking at the door.
Tang Li was still drawing and had not fallen asleep.
This trip to Mingcheng to find A-Lu has already delayed her work, so she can only stay up all night in the hotel to work on the blueprints.
"What's wrong? It's so late, aren't you going to sleep?"
"Do you have any chronic stomach medicine here? Mr. Lu has drunk too much and has a stomachache."
Tang Li frowned, turned around, and took out stomach medicine from her bag.
It was the same familiar place, and Miss Tang had kept the stomach medicine for Mr. Lu.
If you're saying she doesn't like it, then why does she carry stomach medicine with her when she doesn't even have gastritis?
"Thank you, Miss Tang. I'll head back now."
Chen Lei turned to leave, but then stopped. "Miss Tang, could you go and help the boss cook some porridge?"
"Why don't you cook some for him yourself?"
Chen Lei certainly knew how to make porridge, as it was a simple task; there were already prepared ingredients in the refrigerator.
The problem is that President Lu might not even drink the porridge he cooked, so it's useless.
"All I know how to cook is instant noodles, and I often make a complete mess of them."
Tang Li thought for a moment, "Then wait for me, I'll change my clothes."
Five minutes later, Tang Li changed her clothes and followed Chen Lei to their presidential suite.
There are two presidential suites on this floor, with the exact same layout, facing each other.
Chen Lei booked two presidential suites, one for Lu Jianshen and one for Tang Li.
As soon as Tang Li pushed open the door and entered, she smelled a strong odor of alcohol.
She frowned. At the party earlier, she had specifically reminded Lu Jianshen to drink less.
Who knew that he would become an alcoholic after he came back?
"Is he not working tonight, or is he having work troubles? Why is he drinking so much?"
Tang Li glanced at the mess of empty wine bottles on the ground and felt extremely annoyed.
Chen Lei scratched his head awkwardly.
They all knew the reason: what Miss Tang said in the car earlier had made Mr. Lu uncomfortable.
Tang Li didn't say anything more and turned to walk into the kitchen.
Fortunately, the presidential suite was fully equipped, and the refrigerator in the kitchen was stocked with fresh ingredients.
An hour later, she came out carrying a bowl of steaming hot sweet porridge.
"Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is bad for your stomach. Have some porridge to warm it up."
Lu Jianshen opened his eyes groggily, feeling as if he saw Tang Li in his half-drunk, half-awake state.
"I won't drink the porridge you made."
Lu Jianshen frowned and pushed the porridge away.
Fortunately, Chen Lei, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and caught the bowl of porridge, preventing it from spilling.
However, his hand was badly burned.
"Chen Lei, are you alright?"
Lu Jianshen was drunk and didn't know his own strength, which made Tang Li look worried.
Chen Lei immediately waved his hand, "I'll go take care of this over there."
Lu Jianshen was delirious, leaning back on the sofa and talking nonsense, "I will never like you again. You are too cruel. Five years, and you just left without saying goodbye. Do you know how I survived these five years?"
"Tang Li, I've been thinking these past few days, did I fall in love with the wrong person? I've thought about just cutting ties completely and never contacting each other again, since we're divorced anyway, but I... I'm just fucking stupid!"
Tang Li sat on the sofa next to him, saying nothing, letting him vent his anger and listening to his nonsense.
"You're being so heartless to me now, won't you regret it later? Aren't you afraid that one day I'll really leave and never look back?"
In a fit of emotion, he lunged forward, grabbed Tang Li's hands tightly, and pulled hard.
Tang Li felt like her bones were about to be crushed. She struggled to pull her hand away, but Lu Jianshen held it tightly.
He reserved all his tenderness for Tang Li.
However, Tang Li plunged the coldest knife into his heart.
"I don't need to wait for the test results; I already know the outcome!"
Lu Jianshen smiled bitterly, his eyes bloodshot.
"As a result, after you got pregnant, you took my child and ran away, leaving me unable to see my child again! Even when we were reunited as father and son, you didn't tell me the truth, making me mistakenly believe that it was your bastard child with another man!"
Seeing President Lu's crazy and erratic behavior, Chen Lei was initially a little worried and tried to rush over several times, fearing that he might accidentally hurt Tang Li because he was drunk.
However, Chen Lei also knew that Lu Jianshen was reluctant to part with him.
Even when he was drunk, he couldn't bear to hurt her.
Chen Lei sighed, "Miss Tang, I have never seen a woman more ruthless than you."
