After closing his eyes slightly and thinking about it for two seconds, Tong Qiangqiang opened his eyes again and sat back on the edge of the bed depressedly.

Zhong Ruzhen asked, "Not going again?"

Tong Qiangqiang hung his head and was silent.

What can she do for Anlu if she goes now?

There was a knock on the door of the ward, and there was a polite three clicks, accompanied by a familiar voice: "Little nephew, I'm here to pick you up." ”

The door opened, and Mai Xiuze walked in, took off his sunglasses, and was visibly stunned when he caught a glimpse of Zhong Ruzhen.

At the same time, Zhong Ruzhen's face also had an abnormal look on his face.

Tong Qiang looked suspiciously at the strangeness between the two.

Mai Xiuze has recovered his nature, but he is not as good as the hippie smile when he first entered the door, and asked Tong Qiangqiang: "Are you ready?" Your uncle asked me to help send you back to the apartment. I came here on purpose. ”

Tong Qiangqiang was just dizzy, not a person who has been hospitalized for a long time, there is nothing to prepare, and he can leave at any time.

"Now that the person who picked you up has arrived, my mission is over. Go first. Zhong Ruzhen finished speaking neatly, and without waiting for Tong Qiangqiang to respond, she walked out of the ward quickly, as if some monster was chasing her behind her.

As she passed past Mai Xiuze, Tong Qiangqiang noticed that Mai Xiuze glanced at her.

"Mr. Mai, do you know Sister Ruzhen?" Tong Qiangqiang opened his mouth and asked, wondering in his heart why they didn't say hello since they knew each other?

Mai Xiuze frowned: "Sister Ruzhen?"

Listening to his tone, Tong Qiangqiang didn't understand whether he didn't know Zhong Ruzhen, or didn't know Zhong Ruzhen's name. Confused: "I see your expression just now, don't you know her? She is the eldest daughter of my second uncle, Zhong Ruzhen." ”

Mai Xiuze suddenly let out an "oh", and responded nonchalantly: "I see." I have admired the daimyo for a long time. ”

Tong Qiangqiang was confused by him.

Mai Xiuze urged her: "Can you go or not?"

Tong Qiangqiang put down his confusion for the time being, remembered it and asked Mai Xiuze another thing: "Do you have a way to help me find An Jinghong?"

Mai Xiuze looked at Tong Qiangqiang with an extremely speechless look: "Do I know that senior brother of yours very well? How do I know where he is? Moreover, am I very easy to call? Why do you keep asking me for help when you can't find anyone?"

Tong Qiang sneered - this is not because when An Jinghong and the thugs were mixed together a while ago, it was Mai Xiuze who inquired about the news, so she subconsciously thought that Mai Xiuze could find An Jinghong......

***

Back in the apartment, Tong Qiangqiang saw that the counselor reminded everyone in the group that the deadline for the final version of the graduation thesis to be submitted was tomorrow night, and she suddenly remembered that she had put the revised thesis in Professor Zhou's office before going to Australia, and it seemed that she had not received feedback.

However, when she opened her mailbox, she found that Professor Zhou had fed back to her by email very early, but she had blocked the outside world during her time in Sydney, and she had not checked it in time.

She quickly scanned the contents of the email, and according to Professor Zhou's advice, she started a new round of revisions in full swing. Until his ears caught the squirming movement of Han Lie's return.

Tong Qiangqiang's heart lifted slightly, and he sat quietly on the bed, staring out the door.

She deliberately didn't close the door so that Han Lie noticed that she hadn't slept yet.

Sure enough, Han Lie's steady steps stepped on the wooden floor and gradually approached, and soon, his tall figure appeared at the door of her room.

Tong Qiangqiang smiled brightly at Han Lie: "Uncle." ”

Han Lie walked in with a frown: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

As the weather got hotter, Han Lie no longer wore a coat, like today, he was only wearing a dark blue plaid shirt, and two buttons were opened on his chest, looking relaxed and casual. However, there are a few small dry lines on his eyelids, which should have been busy in the past two days, and he showed fatigue.

In the moment she looked at him, Han Lie had already walked in front of her, glanced at her computer screen, and caught a glimpse of a few scattered words such as "rural tourism development model".

Tong Qiangqiang closed the notebook a little embarrassed.

Han Lie retracted his gaze and asked, "Are you going to defend?"

"Hmm. Tong Qiangqiang nodded and subconsciously stroked his lower abdomen. Seriously, it's hard for her to imagine that she's going to show up with her stomach on her back. In particular, her photos have been exposed on the Internet and newspapers because of the scandal, and her classmates and teachers probably know all about it.

Han Lie lowered his eyes to look at her, raised his hand, and gently touched the side of her cheek that was slapped by Zhu Jinhua.

Because of the timely reduction of swelling and pain, in fact, there were basically no traces, but Han Lie's fingertips were cold, and his demeanor was sudden, and Tong Qiangqiang reflexively shrunk.

Han Lie withdrew his hand, put it on her shoulder instead, bent down and lowered his head, and pressed the two warm lips to the center of her eyebrows: "I'm sorry I couldn't come over in time today to stop my sister-in-law from doing something to you." ”

Tong Qiangqiang stiffened, and in the next second, he stretched out his arm to wrap around his waist: "Uncle, I'm scared." I've never been so scared. As soon as I closed my eyes, it was the scene of Ruzhen and An Lu's legs gushing and bleeding. It seems like it will never stop. ”

And then ...... The main character in the picture became me...... I was lying on the ground like that, letting the child disappear from my body little by little, but I couldn't stop it......"

This is the deepest panic she has always pressed in her heart.

She didn't know why she had such horrible dreams.

Maybe it's because she recently witnessed her two children lose their lives in front of her, which gave her too strong a visual impact.

Perhaps because since beating this child was proved to be not Zhong Wenhao's species, she has lost everyone's blessings, and Zhong Yuanshan even forced her to beat the child, which caused too much psychological pressure on her.

It's even more because of ...... Out of the sensitivity of a woman, although Han Lie recognized this child, and although Han Lie did his best to take care of her, she never felt his affection for this child......

Tong Qiangqiang couldn't help choking. Because of this panic, her hands were strained and tightened, her face was tightly pressed into his arms, and even though it was a little difficult to breathe, she still didn't want to let go.

Han Lie stood motionless and did not push her away. After a while, he raised his hand and stroked the fluffy hair on the top of her head: "Don't think nonsense. ”

Tong Qiangqiang raised his face, looked at his unexciting black eyes with hazy teary eyes, and bit his lower lip: "Uncle, the child can be born smoothly and peacefully, right?"

Han Lie's figure shrouded her, his eyelashes cast two shadows on his eyelids, and his clean and thin lips slowly opened: "Well, our child, it will be safe and smooth." ”

***

Probably because of Han Lie's words, Tong Qiangqiang's panic calmed down a lot.

The next morning, another piece of news bombarded the Chung Group – Mr. Smith was said to be going to stop cooperating with Chung on the development of Phelon Island.

Immediately after the news came out, the media asked Zhong, and Zhong's response was purely rumor, and he did not receive a termination contract from Mr. Smith, and the two parties had signed a contract, and there was no reason for termination.

What the specific truth is, no one knows. But after that signing ceremony, Zhong's Group has attracted investment through this project, and those companies are naturally panicked.

Tong Qiangqiang didn't understand the disturbances in the mall, she just saw Han Lie start to go out early and return late, and she felt a little distressed for him - before guarding against him was like guarding against wolves, but now that the Zhong family is in crisis, she treats Han Lie as a dog again.

In the corner, the pork belly snorted twice, like a sneeze, and glanced at Tong Qiangqiang with a sleepy-eyed stupid face, and then continued to sleep lazily.

In addition to eating, it is sleeping, only when Han Lie is there, he will come out and run a few laps by himself, and he is not even willing to pull Ah Hua out for a walk. Tong Qiangqiang has never seen a lazier dog than him.

The direct consequence of this is the expansion of its size.

Tong Qiangqiang felt the need to remind Han Lie that the husky should look like a husky, don't end up fat into a meaty old dog.

Since Professor Zhou only read the paper manuscript, Tong Qiangqiang printed out the newly revised paper and went to the school in person. At the same time, I have the psychology of being able to meet An Jinghong again.

But no.

Professor Zhou waited for her in the office, and when he saw Tong Qiangqiang, his eyes inevitably lingered on her bulging lower abdomen. However, he only stayed for two seconds without malice, didn't ask anything, and pushed a plate of fresh seasonal fruits in front of Tong Qiangqiang.

The fruit is peeled and cut into small pieces, and toothpicks are inserted.

This is the old professor's usual style. Whenever a student makes an appointment with him in advance, he will prepare some food, either fruit or pastries.

Tong Qiangqiang remembered that he and An Jinghong had helped Professor Zhou cut fruit to entertain visitors before, and he couldn't help but feel gloomy.

Professor Zhou briefly chatted with her about the current situation, put on his glasses, and began to carefully browse the papers brought by Tong Qiangqiang, holding a pen to sketch and communicate, and communicating with Tong Qiangqiang about the areas that needed to be further revised.

About an hour later, Tong Qiangqiang got up and asked Professor Zhou if An Jinghong had come to the office to help him on duty in the past few days.

Professor Zhou's expression changed slightly, and then he said: "Jing Hong applied for a construction aid project in Africa. Because he was added to the quota temporarily, he has been busy with the formalities recently. You have time to meet with him and say goodbye, he has been going for three years. ”

Going to Africa?

Tong Qiangqiang was stunned.

***

After bidding farewell to Professor Zhou, Tong Qiangqiang went to the hospital to visit An Lu.

The Zhong family treated her well, at least arranged to live in a VIP ward.

Tong Qiangqiang knocked on the door, but there was no response, so he pushed the door straight in, walked in, and saw no one else, only An Lu was lying alone and desolate on the hospital bed, I don't know if he fell asleep, or he didn't wake up after the operation yesterday.

She was about to approach her when the sound of water came from the bathroom.

Tong Qiangqiang turned her head to look in response, the bathroom door opened, and the person who came out of it was An Jinghong, who she had been unable to contact.

Seeing Tong Qiangqiang, An Jinghong's originally peaceful expression cooled down almost instantly: "You are not welcome here." ”

"Senior brother......" Tong Qiangqiang called him in a low voice.

An Jinghong ridiculed: "You've been very busy lately, aren't you? It's an affair with your uncle again, and it's your husband's cheating." ”

Tong Qiangqiang's heart was slammed by his words, and he was sour and bitter, trying his best to ignore his ridicule, and squeezed out a touch of apology: "I'm sorry, I was supposed to help take care of Xiaolu, but it turned out to be something like this." ”

"You don't need to tell me I'm sorry. An Jinghong swept past Tong Qiangqiang, walked to the bedside, and wiped An Lu's face with a wet towel, "There is a debtor and a debtor, who should I find to settle the account, I know very well in my heart." ”

Tong Qiangqiang was a little surprised. She thought that if An Jinghong listened to the Zhong family's words, he would blame her for the same fault as them. But she wasn't very happy about this, and asked nervously, "You want to find trouble with the Zhong family?"

An Jinghong did not respond, and carefully wiped An Lu's hands.

Tong Qiangqiang stepped forward and said with concern: "Senior brother, don't act rashly. ”

She is not afraid of anything else, she is afraid that An Jinghong will suffer.

An Jinghong walked over from the hospital bed and sneered lightly: "Worried that I will do something bad for the Zhong family?"

"You still regard me as a member of the Zhong family?" Tong Qiangqiang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

An Jinghong did not respond to Tong Qiangqiang, continued to walk into the bathroom, rewrung a towel, and walked out again, still treating Tong Qiangqiang as a transparent person.

Tong Qiangqiang endured the sadness in his heart and asked, "What is the situation of Xiaolu now?"

"Can't die. ”

Even though it was cold, at least he answered her. Tong Qiangqiang organized the language and continued to ask: "Wait, wait for the deer to wake up, knowing that the child is gone, it will definitely be very sad." Senior brother, you-"

Before she could finish speaking, An Jinghong suddenly interrupted: "Xiaolu won't be sad." I won't allow the fawn to be sad. ”

He turned around, separated by a distance of one or two meters, his eyes touched lightly on Tong Qiangqiang's bulging lower abdomen, flickering slightly, and quickly moved to Tong Qiangqiang's face, with a faint layer of sadness on his expression: "Although I have experienced a lot of twists and turns, in the end, this child is still gone." Even God can't see it. What I couldn't do for the fawn, God did. This is her relief, she shouldn't be sad!"

Tong Qiangqiang's lips twitched twice, but he didn't answer. An Jinghong's thoughts, and yesterday's Ah Hua's thoughts, are essentially the same.

Extrication...... Extrication......

Tong Qiangqiang looked at An Lu on the hospital bed with pity, and asked faintly: "Before I came to the hospital, I just met Professor Zhou, and I only knew that you applied for assistance in Africa. Now that the fawn is like this, are you still going?"

suddenly applied to go to Africa at this stall, and she naturally thought that it was An Lu's matter that made An Jinghong disheartened. Now that An Lu has no children, it is completely foreseeable that Zhong Wenhao will not marry her again. Then the brother and sister will return to their old lives. An Lu needs his brother, and An Jinghong probably won't be able to leave.

No, An Jinghong's answer was: "Go." ”

Tong Qiangqiang was slightly stunned in confusion: "But what about the deer?"

"You don't have to worry about it. An Jinghong raised his sharp thorns like a hedgehog again, "Is the mercy over? If it's over, please leave, I don't have the patience to put up with your pretense anymore." ”

Tong Qiangqiang was like being hit by a shotgun, and his chest was in pain.

Between her and An Jinghong, can't it be restored to the way it was in the past?

***

At dinner, Tong Qiangqiang ate a table of delicious dishes prepared by Ah Hua, and his mood was slightly soothed. After that, she continued to revise the paper according to the comments given to her by Professor Zhou today, and finally uploaded the final draft to the academic affairs system before midnight.

Tong Qiangqiang twisted his sour neck, looked at the open door, and confirmed the time again, he couldn't help but wonder, it was almost eleven o'clock, why hadn't Han Lie come back yet?

Tong Qiangqiang picked up the mobile phone from the table and stayed on Han Lie's number page, entangled for a long time, worried that if he called rashly, in case he disturbed him, so he carefully edited a text message: Are you still busy?

Less than a minute after sending it, the mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was Han Lie who dialed it.

Tong Qiangqiang immediately picked it up: "Uncle!"

In response, she was greeted with a chuckle from Han Lie.

Tong Qiangqiang didn't know why, but he noticed the interest in the laughter, and felt that his laughter seemed to stir the air through the earpiece, teasing her ear.

She didn't know, in fact, it was because her voice sounded to Han Lie, like a student who was distracted in class, and was suddenly named by the teacher and shouted to report in a panic.

After he finished laughing, there was a silence for tens of seconds, Tong Qiangqiang's fingers unconsciously twisted the sheets on the bed, and verbally repeated the text message sent to him: "Uncle, are you still busy?"

"Hmm. I forgot to tell you that I'm not going back to sleep tonight. I'm calling her now and asking her to come back with you. ”

"No, no!" Tong Qiangqiang hurriedly stopped Han Lie, "It's late, don't toss Ah Hua anymore." I'm not a child, and it's nothing to sleep alone. ”

Han Lie was not reluctant, and advised, "Have a good rest." Suddenly thinking of something, he added, "Pork belly sleeps in the living room with you." ”

Tong Qiangqiang: "......"

"Good night. ”

"Good night, uncle. ”

Ending the call, Tong Qiangqiang held the phone, tilted his head slightly, and recalled the first phone call between her and Han Lie just now.

Yes, it's amazing, this is actually the first time she and Han Lie have talked on the phone.

And the feeling of the conversation between the two is very much like the husband whose wife is worried about the outside......

At the moment when such a thought flashed, Tong Qiangqiang fell on the bed and covered his hot face with a pillow.

***

The next day, Tong Qiangqiang was called back to Zhong's house by a phone call from Sun Xian.

Of course, it was Zhong Yuanshan who wanted to see her.

I still remember the last time I faced Zhong Yuanshan alone in the study, it was Zhong Yuanshan who asked her to choose between going away and getting rid of the child.

Today, Zhong Yuanshan did not have any roundabout foreshadowing, and straightforwardly asked Sun Xian to give the divorce agreement to Tong Qiangqiang.

Tong Qiangqiang browsed the terms, a little staggering.

The villa she and Zhong Wenhao belonged to her, and she still enjoyed the living expenses that the Zhong family gave her every month, and gave her another three million.

"Grandpa, this ......" If this is the case, it means that she can have no worries about food and clothing after the divorce. Tong Qiangqiang was weak-hearted, and he was secretly worried in his heart, Zhong Yuanshan gave such a generous treatment, did he have another harsh hidden condition for her to agree?

For example, do you want her to take out the child?

Thinking of this, Tong Qiangqiang hurriedly shook his head and looked at Zhong Yuanshan with clear eyes: "Actually, I asked for the division of property before, just to embarrass Wen Hao. What's more, the Zhong family has nurtured me, and I have no reason to ask for so many things. Also, I cooperated with Wen Hao to act in front of you, and I am ashamed of your trust and love for me, and I have never been able to apologize to you. ”

Probably because of the recent accidents in the Zhong family, Tong Qiangqiang found that Zhong Yuanshan was aging much faster than before. She vaguely remembered that in the hospital the day before yesterday, he didn't seem to have as much white hair on his temples as he did today.

Zhong Yuanshan looked at her with a kind face, as if he had turned back into the old man who played chess with her before: "Sign it." While the Zhong family can still give you so much now, while the Zhong family has not been ruined by that bastard thing, while grandpa can still call the shots for you. ”

The softness of Tong Qiangqiang's heart was touched by the helplessness and sadness between his words, and his eyes couldn't help but redden: "Grandpa......"

"You're a good boy—" In the middle of the conversation, Zhong Yuanshan suddenly coughed violently, coughing as if his internal organs were about to come out.

Sun Xian immediately patted Zhong Yuanshan on the back and asked Tong Qiangqiang to help pour water, Tong Qiangqiang hurriedly went to get the kettle on the table, and touched the temperature on the wall of the cup with his palm before handing it to Sun Xian.

Sun Xian leaned the water cup to Zhong Yuanshan's mouth and asked him to drink it, Zhong Yuanshan drank a few sips, and finally slowly slowed down, but his whole face turned red. It was not the red of the blood, but the dark red of blue and black, and his expression was a little haggard than before he coughed.

Zhong Yuanshan waved his hand.

Sun Xian took the water cup.

Zhong Yuanshan's gaze fell back to Tong Qiangqiang, and his voice was quite vain: "Qiangqiang, these are what you deserve." Take it away, grandpa is a little tired. ”

Tong Qiangqiang was slightly moved, lowered his eyelids, stared at the divorce agreement in front of him, and after two seconds, he held the pen and signed his name.

Sun Xian handed the divorce agreement she had signed to Zhong Yuanshan, Zhong Yuanshan glanced at it, his voice stuck in his throat and mumbled twice, and told Sun Xian: "Wait for Wen Hao to come back, give it to him." Leave the rest to the lawyer. ”

Sun Xian's jaw was raised.

Zhong Yuanshan didn't say anything more, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Sun Xian pushed Zhong Yuanshan's wheelchair and slowly walked out of the study.

Tong Qiangqiang stood in place, with an indescribable ease and emotion in his heart.

Twelve years.

She really, and that's it, free......

Coming out of the study, Tong Qiangqiang met Zhong Wenhao in the hall unexpectedly.

Rushing back from the outside in a rage, he shouted and asked the housekeeper, "Where's Grandpa?!"

The housekeeper replied that he had just returned to the room to rest, and Zhong Wenhao walked in with a cold expression.

Seeing Tong Qiangqiang, his footsteps paused slightly. About because he was in a hurry to see Zhong Yuanshan, he didn't stay long, narrowed his eyes fiercely, and quickly passed by her.

The housekeeper chased after Zhong Wenhao in a cold sweat, and reminded anxiously: "Young master, the old grandson told me not to disturb the old lady now." ”

"Get out!" Zhong Wenhao roared, "I'm going to ask my grandfather to understand! Why suspend me!"

Hearing this, Tong Qiangqiang frowned slightly, turned his head to look, and saw Zhong Wenhao disappearing into the corridor leading to Zhong Yuanshan's bedroom despite the housekeeper's obstruction.

"Miss Tong. Ah Hua's voice pulled Tong Qiangqiang's gaze back.

Tong Qiangqiang curled the corners of his lips: "Let's go." ”

***

Leaving the Zhong Mansion, Tong Qiangqiang did not immediately go back to the apartment, and went to the hospital again.

Although An Jinghong didn't want to see her, she still wanted to see An Lu.

Unexpectedly, at the door of the ward, she saw Han Lie standing in the aisle.

He leaned against the window, looking out of the window, in a relaxed posture.

In fact, it was only a day and a night, but Tong Qiangqiang felt that it had been three or four days.

She immediately made a silent gesture to Ah Hua, intending to approach him quietly.

Han Lie turned his head as if he had suddenly sensed something.

The eyes met in an instant.

Since he was discovered, Tong Qiangqiang immediately grinned at him with a mouthful of white teeth: "Uncle." ”

Laughing as he quickened his pace and walked in front of him.

Because of the signing of the divorce agreement, Tong Qiangqiang's mood couldn't control his joy, and he couldn't wait to share the good news with Han Lie.

Han Lie's brows folded slightly, and he patted the back of Tong Qiangqiang's head: "Stupid." ”

When he got closer, Tong Qiangqiang realized that the stubble on Han Lie's chin had not been shaved clean, and the bloodshot in his eyes was easily visible, obviously he had stayed up late last night.

Her gaze was too unscrupulous, Han Lie touched his face and said, "I just came from the company, and I'll go home in a while." ”

Tong Qiangqiang remembered that when he met Zhong Wenhao in the Zhong Mansion, Zhong Wenhao's appearance seemed to have not slept all night. However, Tong Qiangqiang was curious: "Are you also here to see Anlu? Why don't you go in?"

And why is it so anxious to come directly from the company?

Zhenghu was suspicious, the door of An Lu's ward opened, and two people walked out of it, one was An Jinghong, and the other was extremely surprised by Tong Qiangqiang.

"Mr. Smith?"

“Tong。 Mr. Smith responded calmly to Tong Qiangqiang's greeting, not at all as surprised as Tong Qiangqiang. More precisely, Mr. Smith's current state is very different from his previous enthusiasm.

Mr. Smith turned to Han Lie and said, "Han, he and I are going to a nearby café. Thank you for bringing me over. ”

Han Lie bowed slightly: "Okay." Get in touch again. ”

Mr. Smith walked away with An Jinghong with a solemn expression.

Tong Qiangqiang didn't understand the situation, so he asked Han Lie for help: "Why is Mr. Smith here? He knows An Jinghong, what are you doing here?"

"He's not here to find An Jinghong. Han Lie's voice was faint, "He's here to find An Lu." ”

Tong Qiangqiang became more and more confused.

Han Lie's dark eyes floated slightly: "An Lu is Mrs. Smith's daughter. ”

***

This news shook Tong Qiangqiang for a long time.

Han Lie came out refreshed after washing, and found that Tong Qiangqiang was still sitting on the sofa, looking stupid, the same as the expression of pork belly. He couldn't help laughing, went to the kitchen to warm the milk, walked up to Tong Qiangqiang, and gently touched the wall of the cup on her cheek.

"Is it hard to believe that An Lu is Mrs. Smith's daughter?"

Tong Qiangqiang took the milk, nodded with his eyebrows, and asked, "What's going on?"

Han Lie sat opposite Tong Qiangqiang, resting his arms on the back of the sofa on his left and right, and explained, "Before Mrs. Smith married Mr. Smith, she gave birth to a daughter. When the child was less than a year old, Mrs. Smith settled in Australia with Mr. Smith and did not return for more than ten years. ”

Tong Qiangqiang pursed his lips and said, "Although I haven't come back for more than ten years, I always worry about my daughter, right?"

Otherwise, when I came to Rongcheng before, I would not have specially prepared a cheongsam. And every time I recall the past, I feel sad.

"Well," Han Lie stretched his shoulders, "Mrs. Smith actually knows about Anlu's situation intermittently. ”

"Mr. Smith is here now, is it because he learned everything that happened to An Lu?" Tong Qiangqiang was a little sad, how sad should Mrs. Smith be?

Mr. Smith knew, but was afraid of worrying Mrs. Smith, so he hadn't told her. Han Lie looked at Tong Qiangqiang's slightly stunned expression in his eyes and said, "Mrs. Smith's feelings for An Lu are similar to 'hometown timidity', I want to care, but I am afraid of disturbing her life. Mr. Smith understood Mrs. Smith's knot, and did not say anything, but quietly helped Mrs. Smith to pay attention. ”

Tong Qiangqiang remembered An Jinghong: "Then the senior brother is also Mrs. Smith's son......?"

Han Lie shook his head: "No." An Jinghong and An Lu are half-siblings. ”

Tong Qiangqiang scratched the back of his head and listened to Han Lie continue: "An Jinghong has always been separated in the middle, and he doesn't want Mrs. Smith to touch An Lu. So Anlu didn't know about Mrs. Smith's existence, and only thought that her mother died when she was born. ”

"What about their father......" An Jinghong and An Lu seem to live independently, and An Lu has an accident and has never seen their father appear.

Han Lie was silent for a second before replying, "Although Mrs. Smith gave birth to An Lu, she did not marry that man. Mrs. Smith had the opportunity to leave the man because he had attempted murder at the time and is still serving his sentence in prison. ”

Tong Qiangqiang was stunned: "Mrs. Smith left, what about the two children?"

"Living with grandma. Until a few years ago, the old man passed away. ”

After Han Lie's words fell, Tong Qiangqiang was silent.

She remembered what he said that day outside Zhong's house, when she persuaded An Jinghong not to leave An Lu with Zhu Jinhua and Zhong Wenhao.

He said he was angry that he never knew what Anlu really wanted.

She understood what he meant today.

She understood more why An Lu was reluctant to give up the child in her belly, why she was nostalgic for Zhong Wenhao's "goodness" to her, and why she longed for the "home" outlined by Zhu Jinhua.

Zhu Jinhua originally discovered An Lu's deep desire for maternal love and a complete family, so he successfully seduced her and subdued her.

The sorrow in Tong Qiangqiang's heart fermented more and more, and her sorrow was completely written on her face.

Seeing this, Han Lie got up and walked in front of her, stretched out his hand and brushed the hair on her forehead, and unconsciously softened his tone, a little comforting: "Mr. Smith came to Rongcheng on purpose, just for An Lu. Although it is a remedy, in the end, Anlu will not continue to be weak. You can rest assured. ”

The news that Mr. Smith had stopped cooperating with Chung Group on the development of Pilong Island came to Tong Qiangqiang's mind with Han Lie's words.

At the moment, it seems that this news is true, so the reason behind it is that Mr. Smith did not hesitate to breach the contract for An Lu? So Zhong Wenhao was suspended by Zhong Yuanshan, not only because of the successive decision-making mistakes in the Zhong family, but also because of this incident?

In the disturbed thoughts, there was a question that twitched gently in Tong Qiangqiang's heart.

She raised her eyes, her eyes flashed slightly at Han Lie, the words brewed in her stomach, and then flowed to her mouth, and finally she couldn't help it, and asked hesitantly: "Uncle...... When did you find out...... Anlu is Mrs. Smith's daughter?"

Han Lie was leaning over and standing in front of her. She could clearly see that his beard was very clean-shaven, and there was a faint smell of fresh aftershave.

Han Lie's already dark eyes were dyed with a thicker inky color in response.
