"Lu Chuanbai, what do you mean! Our Anrou has been chasing you for so long, and you just say no? What about all the years of her youth wasted?"
"I'd like to ask what she should do to make up for the scare my child got!"
Lu Chuanbai looked at Gu Anrou coldly and stepped towards her. His powerful aura forced Gu Anrou to back away.
"Chuanbai, please listen to my explanation. I... I really didn't mean to kidnap Yiyi!"
After learning that Xu Yiyi was Lu Chuanbai's son, Gu Anrou even changed the way she addressed him.
"Don't you remember who helped you when you were harmed by Lu Fenglin back then?"
This was not only a question but also a test.
Gu Anrou was testing if Lu Chuanbai knew the truth. After hearing this, Lu Chuanbai's face showed no obvious change, but a flash of annoyance passed through his eyes.
This made Gu Anrou heave a sigh of relief. Thinking of the current situation of her family's auction house, she gritted her teeth and said to Lu Chuanbai, "Now our family is in crisis. You can't just sit back and do nothing. Otherwise, you'll be ungrateful for all the help I gave you back then!"
Once again morally coerced, Lu Chuanbai clenched his fists tightly. If it weren't for this, he would never have tolerated Gu Anrou so many times.
Lu Chuanbai was silent for a while. His mother had taught him to always be grateful.
He also remembered the dark nights when he couldn't stand up, and the little hands pressing on his legs. Even though he couldn't see the face of the person massaging him clearly, the touch was very gentle.
During those days and nights when he couldn't stand up, if it weren't for her, Lu Chuanbai might never have been able to stand up again.
Lu Chuanbai couldn't help but wonder if Gu Anrou was really the one who massaged his legs. Why had a person changed so much?
Seeing Lu Chuanbai fall silent, Gu Anrou pressed on, "If you don't help me, you're heartless..."
Lu Chuanbai was extremely annoyed by Gu Anrou's accusations. He said coldly, "I'll help you one last time. After that, we'll be done with each other."
If the Gu's Auction House couldn't continue, there must be a lot of antiques accumulated. He might as well take the opportunity to buy some antiques at a low price to decorate the resort.
"I need a batch of antiques for decoration. I can buy all the cultural relics you've piled up, but this is the only time.
"If you ever harass the Xu family again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless and making sure the Gu's will never rise again."
After saying that, Lu Chuanbai turned around and left.
Gu's father was so angry that he stamped his feet. "Who does he think he is, coming here to boss us around in our own house!"
Although Gu's father was angry that his daughter had done something wrong, he felt even more heartache that his daughter had been treated coldly by Lu Chuanbai.
"Dad, stop talking. It's already good enough that Chuanbai is willing to help us this time."
Gu Anrou, however, let out a sigh of relief. Her whole body and limbs felt weak.
It seemed that Lu Chuanbai still didn't know the truth.
But why didn't Xu Qingqing tell him?
Did she have some kind of plot?
Gu Anrou seemed to be suffering from persecution mania. Her mind was constantly filled with the thought that Xu Qingqing might have some evil plot against her.
When she was free, Xu Qingqing's mind was constantly filled with the scene of Lu Chuanbai letting Gu Anrou leave first. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed like he was protecting Gu Anrou and trying to smooth things over.
This thought kept expanding in her mind, and the angrier she got, the more Xu Qingqing simply rolled out of bed.
She needed to find something to do.
She hadn't been to Lu Qi's antique shop for two days. The work of the cultural relic restoration team had already been completed by the other team members, and she wasn't needed for the time being.
She'd go to the Lu's antique shop first and then pick up the two kids.
Meanwhile, in his room, Tang Li was listening to his secretary's work report. When the secretary mentioned that the results of the paternity test the two kids had done yesterday were out, the hand that had been turning the pen cap stopped, and the gentle smile on his face disappeared.
The silent atmosphere made the secretary feel a bit uncomfortable, and his heart was pounding.
What should he do?
The biological father of Miss Xu's two kids had appeared. Did that mean the boss had no chance?
Just as the secretary was hesitating whether to remind Tang Li, Tang Li finally spoke. His voice gave away no emotion.
"Send me the paternity test results to take a look."
"Sure." The assistant heaved a sigh of relief and uploaded the paternity test results to Tang Li.
Looking at the 99% match result, a flash of darkness passed through Tang Li's eyes. Then he said to the secretary, "Change this paternity test result. Make it show that there's no relationship, and then send it to the two kids."
Secretary: "..."
Hearing his boss's order, the secretary's heart skipped a beat.
He'd long known that his boss wasn't a nice guy and was extremely calculating, but he never thought that he'd even deceive two kids.
But he just swallowed all these complaints and didn't say a word. He just nodded silently. "Okay, I'll contact the hospital right away."
During the lunch break, Xu Yiyi, who was playing with his little friends in the yard, felt his phone watch vibrate. He stopped in his tracks, opened it, and found that it was the electronic version of the paternity test report sent by the hospital.
Xu Yiyi excitedly shouted to Xu An'an, who was playing house nearby, "Sister, come quickly. The results of yesterday's test are out!"
Hearing this, Xu An'an quickly said to Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, I'll go find my brother first. I'll come back to play with you later."
Xiaomei nodded with a smile. "Okay."
Xu An'an ran over quickly. The two siblings ran to a quiet corner. Their two little heads were buried together as they looked at the paternity test results.
The DNA of the test specimens didn't match to a high degree, indicating no blood - related relationship.
Disappointment appeared on their two chubby faces.
"So it's not him!" Xu An'an sighed, with a hint of crying in her voice.
She'd always thought that Uncle Lu could be their father, but it turned out he wasn't.
Xu Yiyi gently patted his sister's back and put away the paternity test results.
"Okay, don't be sad. We'll find our father."
Although he said so, Xu Yiyi's young heart was also filled with regret and disappointment.
Why wasn't it him?
He and Uncle Lu looked so much alike.
But the paternity test results couldn't be wrong. If it wasn't, then it wasn't!
Xu Qingqing came to Lu Qi's antique shop and found a small Huolala (a delivery service vehicle) parked outside the shop. Two workers were carrying a safe into the shop.
Xu Qingqing walked over curiously and asked, "What's going on? Why did you buy a new safe?"
Seeing Xu Qingqing coming, Lu Qi couldn't hide his excitement in his voice.
"Don't you remember? The appraisal result of the seal we bought together last time is out. Just as you said, it's a seal from the Ming Dynasty!"
Lu Qi's voice even changed tone because of the surprise. Noticing that the moving workers were looking at him, he quickly coughed and regained his usual cold and elite appearance.
"So the shareholders asked me to buy a safe to store the seal properly. Hehe."
Looking at his sneaky and unpromising look, Xu Qingqing sighed softly. "Do you have any work recently?"
She was urgently in need of work to fill her free time.
