Chapter 208 Will I Have a Chance to Hear You Call Me Daddy?
Lu Xingchen's company was quickly registered and named "Zhixing Technology Co., Ltd.". The office that Li Zhen arranged for her was in Building B of Zhencheng Building, which is the top floor of Zhencheng Technology Building.
Lu Xingchen was a little resistant to such a high-profile move at first, but Li Zhen had already intervened in the affairs between her and the Lu family and was determined to tie her together, so there was no need for her to be deliberately low-key. After all, even if she had been low-key for so many years, there was no guarantee that some people would let her go.
So, she stood in a conspicuous place to see who would come to challenge her gym.
Just a few days after Lu Xingchen made this decision, on the first day she moved into the office, she received a call from Xu Fanghua.
"Xingchen, do you have time to answer the phone now?"
"I have time, you decide." Lu Xingchen put the phone to his ear and continued to tidy up his desk.
Xu Fanghua was silent for a moment and said, "I just received a call from Mrs. Lu. She doesn't allow me to divorce Lu Wenli. If I don't agree, she will come to you."
After hearing this, Lu Xingchen took the phone and asked Xu Fanghua: "How do you answer?"
Xu Fanghua: "I told her that I would definitely divorce Lu Wenli, and my life would no longer be controlled by her and the Lu family."
Lu Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Miss Xu, well done!"
Xu Fanghua wanted to cry after hearing this, "But when I answered her like this, my whole body was shaking. If it wasn't for Sister Zhang holding me up, I wouldn't be able to sit still."
Lu Xingchen encouraged: "But you never dared to say this before, you are completely reborn, Miss Xu!"
Xu Fanghua shed tears, still feeling guilty, "But if she causes trouble for you, your future work and life will be even more difficult."
"I would rather live my own life in difficult circumstances than let others manipulate me." Lu Xingchen said confidently, "Mom, you are my pride today, and I will try my best not to let you down. But from today on, you have to be more cautious when traveling. At this stage, you can only trust me and Li Zhen to help me protect yourself, and leave the rest to me."
After ending the call with Xu Fanghua, Lu Xingchen held the phone, thought carefully, and resolutely made a call.
In the meeting room of Lu Group, Lu Dingsheng, sitting in the main seat, was watching the projection and listening to a work report.
When the phone on the desk vibrated, he looked down and thought he had seen it wrong. He picked up the phone and put it in front of his eyes to look at it again. After confirming that the caller ID was "Xingchen", he took off his glasses and stood up with the phone in his hand.
The executives who were in the meeting all looked at him.
He put his glasses on the conference table and walked out with his cell phone in hand.
"Hello?" He asked uncertainly at first, because this was the first time Lu Xingchen had called him in seven years. He was excited at first, but then immediately worried. If nothing had happened, Lu Xingchen would not have called him.
I heard Lu Xingchen's usual voice: "Do you have time to answer the call now?"
Lu Dingsheng felt relieved, at least he was safe, but he still guessed that her call was not just a simple greeting. He would rather she came to talk to him about work, but he knew in his heart that it would not be like this.
"I have time, you say."
Lu Xingchen decided to make this call and didn't hesitate, so she asked directly: "My mother married Lu Wenli at the request of my grandmother. Did you know about this?"
Lu Dingsheng was stunned. According to Xu Fanghua, after she found out that Yang Wenqi was pregnant with his child, she divorced her in anger and soon married Lu Wenli.
His silence for a few seconds made Lu Xingchen certain that he probably didn't know about this. "I just heard about it from my mother a few months ago. My grandmother meant that if she didn't marry Lu Wenli, my future might not be very good."
After hearing this, Lu Dingsheng couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Lu Xingchen continued, "It's been so many years since the incident happened, and I didn't intend to bring it up again, but my mother had just made up her mind to sign the divorce agreement with Lu Wenli, and my grandmother called to forbid her to divorce Lu Wenli. My mother only has me, and I will definitely protect her, but I don't want to quarrel with my grandmother, and I don't want you to know about it after I quarrel with my grandmother, so this matter..."
"I'll tell grandma." Lu Dingsheng felt... ashamed.
It's not because she doesn't know the reason for Xu Fanghua's divorce, but because the child has never asked the Lu family for anything in the past few years. She has been unyielding and upright, but such a big family like the Lu family is still chasing her. What on earth did she, a child, do wrong?
But besides feeling ashamed, he also felt not surprised. Back then, Lu Xingchen was under his protection, but was forced to leave home because of the people and love of this family. This has always been his sorrow.
"Xingchen, I know everything that happened in your mother's company four years ago, including the fact that you sold the company to pay off their debts."
"I know you do."
Lu Dingsheng sighed secretly, "I also roughly checked the cause and effect of the incident in your mother's company, but I didn't find any trace of the Lu family. I admit that I really don't want to care about your mother and her family's affairs, and I just treat it as your experience. But now tell me, is that incident related to the Lu family?"
Lu Xingchen was silent for a moment, "I don't have any definite evidence."
Lu Dingsheng asked again: "What about the things Lu Wenli did some time ago?"
Lu Xingchen: "I haven't found anything. I'm not saying this to affect your current life, and I don't want to embarrass you. It's just that I can't let my mother and I's lives be affected forever. It's been seven years, and she will be fifty next year. Maybe she is the one at fault in your eyes, but I want her to start her own life anyway, so I'm sorry for you."
Lu Dingsheng felt like a huge stone was pressing on his heart because of her words. Not only was he over fifty and his spirit had faded, he also felt that Xu Fanghua had a hard time too. He also felt that he might have really lost Lu Xingchen.
The child did nothing wrong, but she once felt guilty towards him because it was not his child. She must have felt very innocent at the time, working so hard to grow up, but in the end she ended up homeless.
Now that she has grown up, although not as strong, she can fly between heaven and earth on her own, and will never return to his sky that once supported her.
"Xingchen, you haven't let me down, nor have you let anyone down. It's us adults who have let you down."
Lu Xingchen thought he was used to it, but when he heard this from Lu Dingsheng, he still felt heartbroken and aggrieved.
Lu Dingsheng whispered again: "I know I'm not a qualified father, but will I still have a chance to hear you call me dad?"
Lu Xingchen's tears burst out instantly and the phone was hung up hastily before she burst into tears.
