Chapter 178: Give it a go
"Did you steal one of the twins?"
Zhu Man sat on the ground when he heard this, and his face became very difficult to look at. "I... I didn't. She clutched the corners of her clothes and defended herself with insufficient confidence.
"No?" Lu Shenyan had a cold face, turned around and threw the contract on the table in front of her: "This is the contract of the year, take a look?" ”
"What am I looking at?" Zhu Man choked up, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Look at the terms of the contract." He flipped through the other copy and said, "The custody of the child belongs to me, and you must not ask." In case of breach of contract.... Compensation of 10 million. ”
He closed the contract and said word by word: "Now that you are hiding the child privately, you said that this compensation, do you want to pay it?" ”
"I'm not your child!" Li Bao couldn't stand it anymore, he rushed forward to protect Zhu Man and yelled: "I don't have a father, only Zhu Man gave birth to me and raised me!" No one else! ”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and tears slowly rolled down his cheeks.
Xu Wei couldn't help but applaud his acting skills when he looked at it, just now he was still a little devil who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but this time he became a fragile little angel in front of Zhu Man.
It's really high.
Lu Shenyan waved his hand, and the people around him immediately understood, and stepped forward to pick up Li Bao.
"What are you doing!" Li Bao stepped back, swinging his hands and struggling to his feet.
But the disparity in power is clear. With a wave of his palm, the assistant restrained him.
"You guys are coming at me for something, don't hurt the child!"
Zhu Man only felt cold when she looked at it, her body rushed forward, her red eyes and messy clothes made her look very embarrassed.
"Coming at you?" Lu Shenyan stepped forward and looked condescendingly at Zhu Man, who was sitting on the ground: "Then you can tell the truth, so that we can save trouble." ”
"Child, is it mine?"
Zhu Man paused slightly, and the next second she suddenly laughed, but her smile was full of bitterness: "You are the person who asked me for surrogacy back then, right?" ”
Before the man could respond, she continued: "The child is mine, but he, not yours, he has no father. ”
After speaking, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and stood up, staring directly at Lu Shenyan with a firm gaze.
No one could take Li Bao from her, and if there were, then she desperately wanted to keep him.
The four eyes met, and the air around them also froze, and a strong sense of oppression permeated the surroundings.
"Good."
After a long time, Lu Shenyan couldn't help but applaud. He picked up the report sheet on the side, opened it, and slowly took out the DNA report sheet and placed it in front of Zhu Man.
The huge DNA test caught Zhu Man's eyes.
She looked down.
"The results of DNA analysis still support Lu Shenyan as Li Bao's biological father."
A line of black identification results in black and white clearly highlights the blood relationship between the two.
Zhu Man chuckled, but his heart was crumpled into a ball and ached faintly.
"Yes, the child is my private possession." After much hesitation, she chose to admit it all. "So, what do you want?"
She looked at the man in front of her with cold eyes, trying to suppress the emotions tumbling in her heart.
"What do I want?" Lu Shenyan's eyes sank. "I took the child away, even if the compensation is over, I don't think you can take it out."
"Nope." Zhu Man refused without thinking about it: "I can give you money, but child, you don't want to take it away." ”
"What are you going to give me money?" Lu Shenyan chuckled, his eyes full of disdain.
He turned and prepared to leave.
No matter how much you say, it's just nonsense.
"I'm not going with you." Li Bao shouted when he saw this, and he leaned down and gnawed at the man's arm violently. Holding his assistant hurt, he let go of his hand.
Li Bao took the opportunity to run to Zhu Man's side, grabbed her trouser leg tightly and roared: "I won't go with you, if you let me leave Mommy, I might as well die!" ”
"You think this little trick can coax me?" Lu Shenyan stepped forward, and the corners of his mouth were raised with a hint of mockery.
"Then try?" He jerked the vase on the table to the ground, and the vase shattered in the air after a few bullets.
He hurriedly leaned over and picked up the remnants of the glass: "Do you think I dare?" He pressed the glass against his wrist and pressed it down.
Red blood marks immediately appeared.
"Don't!" Zhu Man's back stiffened, and his heart instantly rose to his throat.
If this is scratched, it will definitely not be a minor injury.
"Li Bao, you are obedient, put the glass down." She choked up, and said to him with a hint of pleading in her voice: "If you have three long and two short, what is the point of me living?"
"If he won't let us go, I won't let go." Li Bao glared at Lu Shenyan viciously, not daring to relax for a moment.
Lu Shenyan's lips hooked, and a dangerous glare crossed his eyes.
"I'll let you go." Lu Shenyan suddenly relented, he knocked lightly on the table and said coldly: "But I have a request." ”
When Li Bao heard this, his eyes instantly brightened: "What request?" ”
"Chapter 3 of the Covenant." After glancing at Li Bao lightly, he shifted his gaze to Zhu Man.
"First, keep Li Bao's identity secret, I'm afraid it will affect him in the future."
"Second, give him the best education and life."
"Third, I have the right to know all the information about Li Bao."
"If you can do it," he thought for a moment, he said, "I won't take back custody of Li Bao, can you do it?" ”
"I..." Zhu Man raised his eyes and hesitated: "I can do all of this, as long as you don't take Li Bao away." ”
She had no choice and no way out but to promise.
"Good." The man nodded with satisfaction: "That's right..."
He suddenly thought of something and continued: "You don't want to leave your job, or leave City B, if you leave my sight, I can take back custody, and even... I can do it so that you will never see each other again. ”
"Got it?"
"Hmm." Zhu Man lowered his head and responded in a weak muffled voice.
Lu Shenyan glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and turned to leave.
The large room instantly became empty and lonely.
After seeing everyone leave, Li Bao threw away the glass in his hand.
He turned around and ran to Zhu Man's side anxiously: "Zhu Man, are you okay?" Don't be afraid, don't worry, Li Bao will not leave you. ”
He hugged Zhu Man and comforted him softly.
Zhu Man raised his head, his phoenix eyes were bloodshot, and tears filled his eyes.
"I... I'm fine," she whispered, the quieter she spoke, the more choked she became. The next moment, she couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, pulled Li Bao into her arms and cried bitterly.
Fortunately, Li Bao did not leave her, fortunately, nothing happened to Li Bao, and the grievances were released in an instant.
Li Bao only kept patting her back and comforting her softly.
The night gradually became dark, like an inkstone, and it could not be dissolved.
Lin Xinrui pushed open the door of the office, and the room was empty, only the cool light illuminated the corners of the room.
Isn't it?
She put away the doubts in her heart, walked to the desk and sat down.
Everything is neatly arranged, format folders are stacked in the corner of the desktop, and the whole is spotless.
She scoundrelly pulled out a folder and flipped through it.
As soon as I opened it, a picture of a woman came into view.
This woman... Why is it so familiar?
As she thought, a white light flashed in front of her eyes, and the image of five years ago played out in her mind.
Was it a woman who was surrogate five years ago?
Lin Xinrui was shocked, she lowered her head and quickly looked at it, the more she looked at her, the more chaotic and uneasy she became.
"What are you looking at?" A cold voice came into the woman's ears.
Lin Xinrui immediately closed the folder and stood up suddenly.
"No... It's nothing" she said with a little weakness: "I saw that you weren't there, so I casually flipped through it and looked at it." ”
"Is it pretty?" Lu Shenyan's eyes flashed a few times one after another: "I remember I said, don't come to the company to look for me if you have nothing to do." ”
He poured a cup of tea under the sofa table next to him and savored it.
"I know, but Junjun said he missed you, and you didn't answer the phone...", she quickly explained, and the more she spoke, the weaker her voice became.
"I see." The man replied lightly, ignoring her emotions: "Are you okay?" ”
"Huh?" Lin Xinrui was stunned. "It's okay." She shook her head obediently.
"Let's go." Lu Shenyan began to give the order to evict customers.
For this wife, he doesn't have any emotion, saying it's a marriage, but it's actually not as good as a deal.
Lin Xinrui pursed her lips tightly, and her little hands kept twisting the corners of her clothes. She nodded and walked out step by step.
The information of Zhu Man kept coming to his mind.
Why did he investigate the woman and what was he trying to do?
With a hint of surprise in Lin Xinrui's eyes, she took out her mobile phone and dialed the phone.
"Chacha Zhuman."
"Where's this?" Zhu Man hugged Li Bao in his arms, pointed to the picture on the menu and asked softly, "Do you want to eat this?" ”
"Hmm..."Li Bao bit his finger, looking hesitant. Let's ask my grandmother about this. ”
After thinking about it, he still put the heavy responsibility on his grandmother, after all, it is too difficult for the tangled syndrome to choose such a thing.
Zhu Man looked at him and smiled softly, she shook her head and handed the menu to her mother.
"Look at this..."
"Yo, isn't this my best friend Zhu Man?"
A shrill female voice abruptly interrupted the conversation between the two.
Zhu Man looked up and saw Xiao Shushu standing in front of them dressed exquisitely, with the corners of her slightly hooked lips full of mockery.
She bowed her head and chose to ignore the woman's presence.
thought that after all these years, her hatred for this best friend would not be so strong. But she found that when they met again, the anger in her heart was still difficult to suppress.
"Why don't you ignore me?" The woman apparently didn't stop because of Zhu Man's evasion. She stepped forward and said with disdain, "Why are you here? This is a high-end restaurant, does it cost a month's salary to eat here? ”
After saying that, she covered her mouth and chuckled, and the shrill laughter seemed very abrupt and harsh in the quiet restaurant.
"Is that enough?" Zhu Man stopped her sharply, she raised her eyes, and her eyebrows were a little colder: "As a junior, I don't know what you are showing off." ”
She opened the scar in Xiao Shushu's heart with a burst of blood.
Being a junior is a past she has always been reluctant to mention, but Zhu Man still said it in public. When Xiao Shushu heard this, her whole face suddenly darkened.
"Zhu Man." She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't think that you are still the daughter of the Li family, let me tell you, you are just an unknown pheasant now." ”
After speaking, she shifted her gaze to Li Bao on the side, and sneered: "And this child, it's yours, right?" Look, it's so big, you're too careless, aren't you? ”
"If you want me to say, it's better to hurt than to work, but you also have to take precautions, don't you say?"
"You don't need to worry about my business." The emotion in Zhu Man's eyes faded slightly, only the endless cold, she snapped down the menu in her hand and said coldly: "I hope you leave now, otherwise everyone won't want to look good." ”
When Xiao Shushu heard this, her temper instantly followed. She stood there and said with disdain on her face, "What? I can't leave yet. ”
"If you don't go, don't go." A magnetic male voice came from behind him.
Xiao Shushu reflexively looked back, and a plate of ice water splashed at her, catching her off guard.
"Ahh She screamed, "Who are you?" Let me tell you, I am Mr. Li's wife, do you know?! ”
She closed her eyes tightly and kept shaking the drops of water from her hair, and her mouth couldn't stop scolding.
Mrs. Lai? Zhu Man listened to the slight ripples in his heart, and his heart trembled slightly.
She hooked her lips, a hint of bitterness at the corners of her mouth.
It's ridiculous that her father became the husband of her best friend...
"It's you who splashed, dead eight women." The man standing on the side was not convinced, he shook the basin and scolded Xiao Shushu: "Let me tell you, your mouth is so stinky, I will wash you, do you want to thank you, I know?" ”
"You...!" Xiao Shushu trembled with anger. "You wait for me!" She dropped a sentence fiercely, picked up her bag and walked out menacingly.
But the man wouldn't let her go, and he ran up to her and stretched out his foot to her ankle.
The sudden help made the woman's body rush forward, and the whole person fell, falling on all fours.
"Hahaha!" The man clutched his stomach and laughed. "Look at you, is that all you can do?"
"You...!" Xiao Shushu's face turned red with anger, she stretched out her hand and pointed at the man, but she couldn't even speak.
Since becoming the Empress Dowager Li, when has she ever suffered this kind of grievance?
"What are you..."The man slapped Xiao Shushu's hand away, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly: "I'll tell you, don't let me see you next time, if you see it once, I'll play with you once." ”
He leaned over the woman's ear and whispered, "I do what I say." ”
Xiao Shushu's body trembled suddenly, she stood up in a panic, pulled her legs and walked out.
The man gave her feelings, uneasiness, fear.
"Uncle Shu Fan is amazing." Seeing this, Li Bao jumped off the stool, and he ran to the man's feet with a little short leg, and said with a look of adoration. "Uncle Shu Fan, why are you here?"
He blinked, and he looked innocent.
"I missed you, so I came to see you." As he spoke, he picked up the little milk bag and walked towards Zhu Man.
"Why are you here?" Zhu Man looked at the man in front of him and smiled lightly, and the chill in his eyes faded together.
Shu Fan is a friend she met abroad, and the two got along unexpectedly, so they have a close relationship.
"Go back to China and do a mission." He sat down, stretched out his hand and pinched Li Bao's little face: "By the way, look at this stinky boy." ”
Li Bao rubbed his face, puffed out his mouth and glanced to the side, but there was a conspicuous smile on the corner of his mouth.
For this Shu Fan, he likes it very much. Not only can you teach him interesting things, but you can also play games with him.
Just ask such a good uncle, which child doesn't love it?
"Oh yes." Shu Fan suddenly thought of something and continued: "Who was that woman just now, she looks fierce. ”
"She..." Speaking of Xiao Shushu, Zhu Man's eyes also dimmed.
"She used to be my best friend, but she betrayed me and was with my father." After saying that, she turned to look at her mother, put her hand lightly on the back of her hand, and stroked it.
"Such blood?" Shu Fan picked up the knife and fork, and kept stuffing things into his mouth as he spoke: "Let me tell you, that kind of person is cheap, she has done something sorry for you and still shows off her martial arts, if you want me to see, she has a problem with her head, and she wants to take a look."
After speaking, he sent another loaf of bread to his mouth, and asked inarticulately: "What is her name, you tell me, and I will help you fix her." ”
Li Bao's eyes flashed almost invisibly, he lowered his eyes, and quietly gave Shu Fan a thumbs up.
He just wanted to know what the woman's name was. dared to mock Zhu Man like this, then he naturally wouldn't let her go easily.
Thinking of this, Li Bao was full of anger.
"No need." Zhu Man shook his head and smiled lightly. "It's all gone."
"That's not going to work... If you want me to say..."Shu Fan was not happy when he heard it, he put down his knife and fork, and began to wash Zhu Man's brain.
Zhu Man shook his head helplessly when he saw this, so he had to pretend to agree and listen to his explanation.
Lu Shenyan sat in the box next to him, watching the situation here with cold eyes.
Shu Fan's appearance and the hero's rescue of beauty made him feel inexplicably unhappy in his heart, he beckoned, and Xu Wei immediately understood and stepped forward.
"That woman just now, get rid of it." He commanded coldly.
Lu's Group, in Lu Shenyan's office.
Lu Shenyan's eyes were glued to the computer screen, which showed the plan for the bid for an important commercial area in City B.
"This lot is very promising and must be won, and a more detailed plan for the bidding plan will be issued." Lu Shenyan looked at the computer screen and dialed a call.
Xu Wei knocked on the door and entered the office.
"Lu Shao, Mrs. asked you to go home tonight." Xu Wei said directly when he entered the door.
Lu Shenyan cupped his forehead and asked, "Did Mrs. say something?" ”
"Mrs. said she missed you."
Lu Shenyan pondered after hearing this, "Okay, let's go back now!" ”
On the car home, Lu Shenyan couldn't help but think of the woman, and Lu thought of the child.
"I hope Zhu Man doesn't have any more mistakes, I don't want chaos during the bidding period!" Lu Shenyan said silently in his heart.
At the same time, Zhu Man let out a big sneeze.
"Ahh Who misses me? Zhu Man rubbed his nose and said.
Li Bao glanced at her: "Hmph, you are amorous!" ”
Zhu Man rolled his eyes at Li Bao, and said to Li Bao with a vicious expression:
"Stinky boy, itchy skin, right? Do you want me to loosen it for you? ”
Li Bao replied in a delicate tone:
"My Zhu Man is reluctant to let go of my skin! Zhu Man Zhu Man, let's go to Beiguang Commercial Street this weekend, grandma also wants to go. ”
Zhu Man looked at Li Bao and was silent for a long time.
Yes, since Zhu Man went to work in the Lu Group, he really didn't go out with his mother properly.
"Okay, my little Li Bao is getting more and more sensible!"
As he spoke, Zhu Man hugged Li Bao, and his pretty face was tightly pressed against Li Bao's forehead......
In the compound of the Lu family's villa, a car is parked next to the fountain......
"Xu Wei, come back and pick me up in three hours."
Lu Shenyan got out of the car and said as he walked towards the villa.
Suddenly, Lu Shenyan stopped and motioned for Xu Wei to lean his ear over.
“…… Got it, you can go back to the office right now! After Lu Shenyan said a few words in Xu Wei's ear, Xu Wei immediately got into the car and drove towards the company.
On the second floor of the villa, Lin Xinrui was observing Lu Shenyan who had just entered the door behind a window......
When Lu Shenyan entered the house, Fan Yu immediately greeted him.
"Shen Yan, you're back, Xinrui, she ......"
Before Fan Yu finished speaking, Lu Shenyan interrupted and said:
"Did Lin Xinrui have another headache?"
