Lu Chuanbai walked out of the stadium. Gao Bo, who was contacting people to handle something, saw him and rushed over immediately.
"Mr. Lu, there are a large number of posts on the Internet questioning that Yiyi and An'an are not your children, and scolding Miss Xu Qingqing as a liar."
"Immediately send someone to investigate for me," came Lu Chuanbai's cold voice from the back seat. Gao Bo nodded and made a call to give instructions.
With such a large - scale wave of comments, Lu Chuanbai didn't believe that there was no one behind it pulling the strings.
Lu Chuanbai flipped through the evidence cited by the posters. When he saw that some of the evidence was provided by his stepmother, his phoenix - like eyes narrowed. He took out his phone and called his father.
At home, Lu's father was playing with the antique walnuts that Xu Qingqing had bought for him. When he saw that Lu Chuanbai was calling, he quickly answered.
"Hello, Lu Chuanbai. What's up?"
As soon as the call was answered, Lu Chuanbai's angry roar came through: "Look at what your wife has done!"
Lu's father was stunned by his roar, completely at a loss.
His stepmother hadn't been home all night. She had been taking care of Lu Fenglin in the hospital. There was no time for her to cause trouble for Lu Chuanbai!
Lu Chuanbai sent Lu's father a screenshot of the evidence provided by his stepmother: "Look at the good thing she's done for yourself!"
Lu's father clicked on the photo and zoomed in. The avatar was indeed his stepmother's... She actually said that Xu Yiyi and Xu An'an were not Lu Chuanbai's children!
"Now the Internet is in an uproar because of this. If Yiyi and An'an are scolded, just wait for me to tear your house down!" Lu Chuanbai said angrily, throwing down a threat.
This woman really couldn't stand a single day without causing trouble!
When he was at home, she always caused trouble for him and incited him to fight with Lu Fenglin for the family property.
Now that he had moved out, she was spreading rumors that his children were not his own.
If she weren't his stepmother, Lu Chuanbai would have thrown her into prison long ago.
Lu's father was also angry when he saw the gossips on the Internet. He was very satisfied with the well - behaved children, Xu Yiyi and Xu An'an.
Especially Xu Yiyi, who looked exactly like Lu Chuanbai when he was a child.
To be rumored like this, how sad the children would be if they saw it.
Lu's father held back his anger and quickly called his stepmother.
In the hospital ward, the stepmother was holding a bowl of chicken soup and feeding Lu Fenglin.
Lu Fenglin insisted on feeding himself, but the stepmother pressed his hand down and refused: "No, you're in a weak condition. How can you hold the bowl!"
The stepmother scooped up a spoonful of soup and fed it to Lu Fenglin: "Come on, drink it."
Lu Fenglin impatiently turned his face away. Seeing a little boy in the next - bed with a broken right hand, trying hard to eat with his left hand, he suddenly felt like a useless person.
"Mom, I can feed myself."
"I'm doing this for your own good. Why don't you listen?"
Lu Fenglin angrily refused to drink the soup and lay in bed with his eyes closed, resting.
Just then, the phone rang. The stepmother put down the chicken soup and picked up the phone. The caller ID showed that it was Lu's father.
The stepmother showed it to Lu Fenglin: "Your father is calling. I'm going to tell on you!"
Then she answered the call: "You're calling at just the right time. This child is clearly sick, but he refuses to eat when I try to feed him. You tell him off!"
After saying that, the stepmother angrily stuffed the phone into Lu Fenglin's hand.
Lu Fenglin answered the call: "Hello, Dad."
"Fenglin, how's your health? Are you okay?" came Lu's father's kind voice from the phone.
"Dad, I'm fine. Don't listen to Mom. I'm in good health," Lu Fenglin tightened his lips.
"That's good. Give the phone to your mom first. I have something to ask her." Lu's father was eager to know if the rumors on the Internet were true.
"Okay." A flash of disappointment passed through Lu Fenglin's eyes.
He had thought that Lu's father had called specifically to care about him.
"What do you want?" The stepmother, who had been eavesdropping beside the phone, took it.
Unexpectedly, Lu's father's tone suddenly became stern: "I'm asking you, did you spread rumors on the Internet that Xu Yiyi and Xu An'an are not Lu Chuanbai's biological children?"
The stepmother was stunned for a moment and quickly denied it: "No, I never said that."
"Don't lie. There are screenshots of your chat all over the Internet now!"
"My chat screenshots?" The stepmother was taken aback and quickly turned on her phone to search on the Internet.
Sure enough, the first pushed message was about Xu Qingqing and the president of the Lu Group pretending to be a couple.
And the evidence included her chat record.
The stepmother was stunned when she saw it. She did say this.
But it was Sun Jingjing who asked her, and she just casually complained.
Only the two of them knew this chat record. Why was it posted on the Internet!
"Did you say it?"
Lu's father noticed the unexpected silence on the other end of the phone and was sure that the stepmother must have said it.
"Now you immediately post a clarification and deny that you ever said these things!"
Lu's father said almost through gritted teeth.
The stepmother felt a bit guilty: "This is my chat record with Sun Jingjing. I also complained about other things. If I post a clarification, Sun Jingjing might post the other things too!"
Lu's father was so angry that he could hardly catch his breath. His chest felt tight.
"Then just make sure she doesn't say anything. She posted your chat record on the Internet privately. This has already violated your rights. If she posts more, you can sue her!"
Lu's father believed that Sun Jingjing wasn't stupid enough to break with the Lu family just to argue about the truth of a few words.
But the stepmother slowly glanced at Lu Fenglin in the hospital bed and was about to go out while still on the phone.
Seeing his mother's expression, Lu Fenglin immediately understood that she was hiding something from him. He grabbed his stepmother's arm and wouldn't let her go.
"Just say whatever it is in front of me."
"This has nothing to do with you," the stepmother said with a smile, trying to pull out her sleeve.
"How can it have nothing to do with me! I'm also a member of the Lu family. I have the right to know."
Lu Fenglin refused to let go. The mother - son duo were at a standstill for a few minutes, and the people in the next - bed were all looking at them.
The stepmother gritted her teeth and decided to come clean. She looked at Lu Fenglin pleadingly: "Then you promise that you won't be angry with me after you know the truth."
"Okay, I won't be angry," Lu Fenglin nodded expressionlessly.
Only then did the stepmother stutter out Sun Jingjing's secret.
"Sun Jingjing... She has delusional disorder."
"What?"
Both Lu Fenglin and Lu's father on the other end of the phone were stunned.
"Sun Jingjing seemed quite normal. I didn't expect her to have a mental illness," Lu's father recalled the day when Sun Jingjing came to his house.
"Right. Her mother has been worried about this illness of hers, fearing that she won't be able to marry into a good family," the stepmother echoed Lu's father's words. Unexpectedly, she let something slip. She quickly covered her mouth and carefully looked at Lu Fenglin's expression.
Lu Fenglin's face instantly darkened. His voice was sinister: "She can't get married, so you pushed me to go on a blind date with her, right?"
"Sun Jingjing seemed quite normal. Her mother said that as long as no one stimulates her, she won't have an episode..." the stepmother quickly explained.
